68: Chapter 68 Great Sun Contemplation, Black Mist Assaults

Due to the lack of a Visualization Method, Zhou Bai's S-rank Psychic Power talent had not been developed much.

Zhou Bai's offense, defense, and movement techniques were sufficient for his current needs.

Moreover, among the many cultivation techniques, Visualization Methods are consistently the most precious and difficult to obtain.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai hesitated no longer and looked at the Visualization Method section.

The number of Visualization Methods listed there was not large, only a dozen or so.

Sacred Dragon Contemplation Method, Great Moon Contemplation Method, Flame Contemplation Method, Blazing Sun Contemplation Method, Celestial Wind Contemplation Method, ...

One Visualization Method after another appeared on the screen, all of them S-rank.

Zhou Bai examined each one; these Visualization Methods were all quite profound, capable of bringing about a tremendous transformation in spiritual power.

After a while, having reviewed the various Visualization Methods, Zhou Bai's gaze settled on the Blazing Sun Contemplation Method.

Blazing Sun Contemplation Method: Contemplate the blazing sun. Can operate automatically under sunlight, absorbing a portion of the sun's power to temper the soul...

"I'll take this Blazing Sun Contemplation Method!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Bai made his decision.

This Blazing Sun Contemplation Method had one advantage that particularly appealed to Zhou Bai: the automatic absorption of solar power to temper the soul.

Resources that enhance spiritual power are inherently rare. A Visualization Method that allows for automatic cultivation undoubtedly saves a great deal of resources.

Furthermore, Zhou Bai still had Skill Enhancement Cards, which could be used to upgrade this Blazing Sun Contemplation Method.

"Good, I'll apply for the access permissions for you right away!"

Instructor Guan Ping then continued slowly.

Zhou Bai then looked at the resource repository. The resources there were even more numerous: top-tier eighth-rank beast meat, various refined blood, gene serums, spiritual herbs for body tempering and spirit enhancement... everything one could want was available.

"Student Zhou Bai, regarding S-rank cultivation resources, would you consider this one?"

As Zhou Bai was looking at the many S-rank resources in the repository, Guan Ping, standing beside him, suddenly spoke up, pointing to an item in the third column.

[eighth-order thunder dragon essence blood]: Top-tier lightning-attribute refined blood, containing the ultimate yang and unyielding Thunder Power, exceptionally violent...

"eighth-order thunder dragon essence blood!"

Seeing this refined blood, Zhou Bai's eyes lit up.

"Student Zhou Bai, this eighth-order thunder dragon essence blood was only added to the inventory yesterday. There are only fifteen portions in stock, and it hasn't been publicly updated yet. Among S-rank resources, it's considered the highest grade and is extremely compatible with you. You should consider it!"

Guan Ping continued with a smile, looking at Zhou Bai with gentle eyes.

"If it had already been updated, it would have been exchanged by those old-timers long ago..."

"Alright, then I'll take this Thunder Dragon refined blood!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai didn't hesitate in the slightest.

This Thunder Dragon refined blood could not only enhance Qi and Blood Power to temper the body but was also very effective for Zhou Bai's cultivation of the Indestructible Thunder Body.

"Good, I'll register it for you now!"

Guan Ping continued.

"Thank you for the reminder, Instructor Guan Ping!"

Zhou Bai then expressed his gratitude to Guan Ping.

He understood that this was also Instructor Guan Ping extending goodwill. Otherwise, since it hadn't been fully entered into the public system, it could simply have not been shown. It wouldn't have any trouble selling later, and such top-tier resources would definitely cause a frenzy among many top-level martial artists.

"No need to be polite. I just thought this Thunder Dragon refined blood was particularly suitable for you!" Instructor Guan Ping waved his hand dismissively.

"The access permission for the Blazing Sun Contemplation Method has been approved. You can view it now. The Thunder Dragon refined blood is at the Capital headquarters and will be delivered to you as soon as possible."

"As for the custom S-rank weapon from Tianbing Tower, once you've decided what weapon you want, send me a message. I'll immediately arrange for Tianbing Tower to custom-make it for you."

Zhou Bai nodded. After adding Guan Ping as a friend, he began to examine the Blazing Sun Contemplation Method.

Instructor Guan Ping and Zhao Shiyu then left the training room, allowing Zhou Bai to study the Visualization Method by himself.

Zhou Bai opened the electronic document sent by the University Alliance. After passing the facial and iris recognition, he immediately began to study it.

[System, use the Skill Enhancement Card to upgrade the Blazing Sun Contemplation Method for me!]

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Bai silently chanted in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on a successful enhancement. S-rank Blazing Sun Contemplation Method has been enhanced to SS-rank Great Sun Visualization Method.]

[Great Sun Visualization Method]: SS-rank Visualization Method. Visualize the great sun in the sky. Can automatically temper the soul wherever there is light. Cultivated to its peak, one can achieve a Pure Yang Saint Soul, capable of suppressing evil and purifying corruption...

Soon after, the system's notification sounded in Zhou Bai's mind.

Zhou Bai's eyes shone. As expected of a top-tier SS-rank Visualization Method, it was truly formidable.

[System, allocate points to the Great Sun Visualization Method for me!]

Immediately after, Zhou Bai began allocating points.

[Ding! Insufficient learning points (less than 500). Unable to allocate points to the Great Sun Visualization Method.]

A notification sounded.

Zhou Bai's heart sank. It actually required 500 learning points...

He currently only had 428 learning points left...

"Then I'll wait until I've saved enough points. It's not that many; with a bit of effort, I can save up quickly enough!"

Zhou Bai sighed and gave up on the idea of cultivating it now.

As for comprehending it on his own, Zhou Bai had no such thought. An SS-rank Visualization Method would take too long to comprehend; it was better to just study hard...

"Biu biu biu..."

At that moment, Zhou Bai heard a series of intense popping sounds coming from outside.

Zhou Bai slowly looked up and saw fireworks being set off outside. Countless brilliant fireworks seemed to ignite the entire night sky, incredibly beautiful.

Watching the dazzling fireworks outside, a thought surfaced in Zhou Bai's mind.

He had been in Magic City for so long but hadn't taken Shiyu out for a proper outing.

Thinking this, Zhou Bai didn't hesitate. He left the training room and took Zhao Shiyu out to enjoy some peaceful, happy times.

Although the Battle of the Dawn had ended, its aftermath still lingered in many parts of Magic City.

As Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu walked through Magic City's streets and alleys, they could hear discussions about the Battle of the Dawn everywhere.

The two of them seemed to have cast aside all worries, leaving their footprints in every corner of Magic City.

Two and a half hours later, under a bright moon and sparse stars, they arrived at Magic City's Bund. The sea breeze blowing around them made them feel a long-lost coolness and tranquility.

"Junior, it's so nice being with you."

Zhao Shiyu nestled in Zhou Bai's arms and whispered softly.

Zhou Bai gently patted Zhao Shiyu, savoring the fragrance emanating from her.

"Whoosh...!!!!"

Just as the two were peacefully enjoying the sea breeze, a deep, dense mist silently surged forth, instantly enveloping both Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu.

The surrounding beach, the bustling city in the distance—everything transformed into a blanket of black mist in an instant.
