Chapter 284 - 284: You’re a Reliable Partner
There was a limit to the increase it brought to its user’s combat strength, and it was not an indiscriminate increase either.
Bad review.
Wang Ye chose no without hesitation.
A mere powerful bloodline was nothing to him.
This time, he had to find the best perfection bloodline among the second tier.
He removed Xiyan Liang’s equipment and the dark substance cores that were temporarily stored on the latter fell out.
Wang Ye first absorbed the second-type dark substance cores. The white origin of thunder entered his body and strengthened his physical foundation.
These dark substance cores contained close to no path comprehension, but they brought a real improvement to his foundation and physique.
His compatibility with the white lightning and the origin of thunder had increased significantly.
An Jinxiao stood quietly at the side, guarding Wang Ye.
Her beautiful eyes fell on the three stairways, and she hesitated.
Wang Ye reminded her.
Not long after, the warriors from the 5 cosmic nations would arrive one after another. At that time, the competition would be even more intense.
Although the third stairway had the highest upper limit, it was also the most difficult. It was tough to comprehend the great path of undying at the Dark Energy level.
What would happen if there were more people?
Not only would it be more difficult to obtain the dark substance cores from killing the thunder-fusion dark beast, but many more from those 5 cosmic nations had stronger bloodlines than her. Even in terms of combat prowess, she was far from being the strongest in the Dark Energy level.
What advantage did she have?
In terms of comprehension and bloodline, would she really be able to obtain the most valuable treasure in passage 7 then?
What would happen if she couldn’t?
An Jinxiao fell into deep thought. As the manager of the High Clouds Sword Society, she had a good view of the big picture.
On the other side, Wang Ye was progressing smoothly.
Four dark substance cores meant four improvements in his physique!
“The enhancement effect has already weakened.” Wang Ye noticed that his body was gradually getting used to the white origin of thunder, and his absorption of the dark substance core was weakening.
Even so, the four improvements were still quite impressive. They brought about a change visible to the naked eye!
Next, the third type of dark substance cores from the huge thunder-fusion dark beasts.
The moment Wang Ye absorbed one, a huge amount of energy surged in.
His body had become stronger after the transformation, so it was absorbing the cosmic energy from the dark substance cores more efficiently!
50%.
60%.
70%.
Level 8 cosmic warrior, 75%!
From 36%, it soared. The magnitude was shocking.
His comprehension of the great path was still unclear.
For Dark Energy-level experts who had already begun to come into contact with high-dimensional energy and were stronger lifeforms, it was extremely difficult to even touch the edge of the great path of undying, let alone a Cosmic Lifeform.
It didn’t matter. Wang Ye never dwelled much on what he couldn’t get. What was more important was that he could get it now!
He absorbed the second piece of dark substance core, and his physical body rapidly improved, breaking through 90%.
In just an instant, he broke through his current limit, and his body transformed!
All the cells in his body danced happily and rapidly split. His powerful body could sense the cosmic energy around him. Their intimacy grew and he became a part of the cosmic.
Breakthrough! Cosmic level 9!
Wang Ye was still improving. Boundless energy surged throughout his body, and his physical body was constantly strengthened.
The last piece of dark substance core!
After reaching cosmic level 9, the effects weren’t as strong.
If An Jinxiao was the one absorbing it, the amount of cosmic energy absorbed would basically be zero. She would mainly gain comprehension of the great path.
27%!
Wang Ye looked at the number on his interface.
His level as a cosmic warrior had already surpassed his level as a cosmic ability user.
Although the increase in combat prowess was not great, the double strengthening of the foundation of the physical body and the level of strength was extremely useful for cultivation and future development!
Now a cosmic level 9 warrior, he already possessed the ability to devour dark substance and break through to the Dark Energy level.
In contrast, the vast majority of cosmic-level warriors would only attempt it when they reached their limits. The safety factor would be higher then, and their willpower would be stronger.
After all, there was only one chance. If one failed, one would be devoured by the dark substance of the high-dimensional energy and explode.
“Back then, the martial instructor evaluated that my physical foundation was very poor, and the probability of failure was over 90%. But now, it’s different.” Wang Ye was very satisfied with his current body.
Perhaps he could not compare to those talents who were very strong innately, but compared to the cosmic humans, he should be above average.
Moreover, he could still improve!
In particular, the acquisition of a bloodline would allow his body to undergo a second transformation.
“Umm…” An Jinxiao’s hesitant voice came from behind.
Wang Ye turned around. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he pointed at the remaining eight first-type dark substance cores. “You want them?”
“Is that alright?” An Jinxiao nodded lightly, feeling a little embarrassed. “I’ll pay you back with other types of dark substance cores later.”
“Here.” Wang Ye smiled.
The first type of dark substance cores was almost useless to him now. If he absorbed them, he would only gain comprehension. But whether it was the Thunder Fusion Technique or the Seventeen Grand Thunder Forms, he had already mastered them.
Instead of relying on obtaining the dark substance cores and absorbing them to improve, the effect was far from directly adding points.
“Thank you.” An Jinxiao did not hesitate and immediately absorbed all eight first-type dark substance cores.
Wang Ye didn’t dawdle around either. He went through Xiyan Liang’s equipment and storage space.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
Although Xiyan Liang was cowardly and poor, he was not weak. He was only poor as he used the money where he should, turning it all into Dark Energy-level equipment.
A full set of Dark Energy level 6 equipment was worth quite a bit of money, at least a few million cosmic dollars.
“Have you changed your mind?” Wang Ye smiled at An Jinxiao.
“I’m giving myself one more choice,” An Jinxiao said.
Yes, it corresponded with his thoughts.
Wang Ye nodded.
He thought the same, and thus, the number of women around him increased.
“Oh right, did you only comprehend the first three forms of the Seventeen Grand Thunder Forms?” Wang Ye asked.
“Yes, it’s very strange. But it doesn’t affect the comprehension of the Thunder Fusion Technique,” An Jinxiao said. “Is it because the first treasure doesn’t have a high requirement for the comprehension of the Seventeen Grand Thunder Forms?”
“I don’t know.” Wang Ye walked to the first stairway.
After obtaining the mark of the thunder-fusion dark beast, the feeling he got from the stairways was completely different. The strength of attraction and compatibility was clear.
Just like An Jinxiao, this stairway was a backup plan for him. The chances of obtaining a treasure were very high, and he could quickly meet the requirements if the only thing he needed was the Thunder Fusion Technique.
The only problem was that he would expose himself.
After all, even a fool would know that there was something fishy if the stage of his Thunder Fusion Technique was improved by several stages right after he had just comprehended it.
Most importantly, this treasure seemed the most ordinary. The brightness and energy intensity of the stairway were the weakest.
In contrast, the second stairway… It had the most glaring brightness and the lowest height. It was very special.
“Whoosh!” The thunder-fusion dark beast mark on his hand suddenly lit up, startling Wang Ye.
An Jinxiao, who was next to him, also let out a soft sound of surprise as she curiously approached.
“I should be able to enter now.” Wang Ye stood in front of the second stairway and smiled at An Jinxiao.
The opportunity had come so suddenly that it was somewhat unexpected.
If the other two stairways were considered to have only been opened, the stairway in front of him was already unobstructed.
But why?
“The height of the stairways does not necessarily represent the upper limit. It’s probably just a requirement to enter,” An Jinxiao said. “Or perhaps it’s the minimum requirement to obtain a treasure.”
“It’s possible.” Wang Ye was deep in thought.
But if that was the case, could the brightness also represent something else?
Otherwise, the second stairway would be a little strange.
The entry requirement was the lowest, but the treasure was the best among the three stairways?
“Are you going in?” An Jinxiao asked.
“No rush, I’ll wait for you. We’re allies, after all,” Wang Ye said with a smile. “There’s no reason for me to go in alone.”
She still owed him 8 dark substance cores. If he entered now, wouldn’t he suffer a huge loss?
“You are a reliable partner.” An Jinxiao smiled. “I was worried that you would use me. Luckily, I’ve allied with you. Otherwise, I might still be confused.”
Wasn’t that just so?
Wang Ye smiled. “It’ll be the same as before. We’ll meet up in one cosmic day and exchange information.”
“Alright. I’ll finish the hidden mission first,” An Jinxiao said.
The two continued to move separately.
After obtaining the thunder-fusion dark beast mark, Wang Ye was even more adamant. His path had been determined: The first or second stairway.
There was no need to even think about the third stairway.
“There must be a deeper meaning behind the three types of dark substance cores.” Wang Ye pondered as he searched for the thunder-fusion dark beasts.
The third type of dark substance core was the most difficult to obtain, but it was also the simplest.
Comprehending the great path of fusion!
As long as he touched the edge of that great path, even if he only entered the beginner stage, he should be able to meet the requirements.
On the other hand, the requirements for the first stairway were not so low. The Thunder Fusion Technique alone was obviously not enough.
But what did the second type of dark substance cores represent?
The physical body? Body strengthening?
Since it didn’t require any comprehension, could it be pure body defense-type equipment?
No, this was passage 7. All the treasures were surely related to both thunder and the physical body.
“…The White Lightning bloodline?” Wang Ye suddenly remembered what Xiyan Liang had said before.
The second type of thunder-fusion dark beast had fused with the White Lightning bloodline.
However, Senior Wu Yuan couldn’t possibly bestow the White Lightning bloodline, right?
That was unrealistic.
“There’s still time. There’s no hurry.” Wang Ye sped up.
White lightning rumbled in front of him as another thunder-fusion dark beast appeared.
He was now a hunter!
One cosmic day later, Wang Ye, who was waiting in front of the stairway, saw An Jinxiao flying toward him. She flew on her sword, bringing nine dark substance cores with her.
“I’ll return them to you with interest.” An Jinxiao waved her sword and the dark substance cores landed in front of Wang Ye.
What a reliable partner.
Wang Ye took a look.
Six second-type dark substance cores and three third-type dark substance cores.
A great harvest.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Wang Ye accepted them with a smile. Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw the thunder-fusion dark beast mark on An Jinxiao’s wrist. “You’ve completed the mission so quickly?”
An Jinxiao nodded. “I met one on the way back. He had a cosmic adventurer badge on his chest and there were no lightning fluctuations on him, so I killed him while I was at it.”
How frank. She was so good-looking yet so ruthless.
Wang Ye retorted in his heart.
“I can enter the first stairway now.” An Jinxiao stood in front of the first stairway and turned to Wang Ye.
Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
An Jinxiao’s Thunder Fusion Technique was at stage 4, which was quite high.
“What about the second stairway?” This was what Wang Ye was most concerned about.
“No.” An Jinxiao stood there gracefully, looking at the mark on her left hand with a puzzled expression.
Wang Ye could enter, but she couldn’t?
