14: More orbs of light!

Ye Su's goal was far too clear.

It was to obtain more light orbs.

No one present was a fool; anyone could understand with a single look.

In fact,

even those Professionals who had stayed behind had all stealthily followed along.

For one, following the group provided a sense of security.

Secondly, the attraction of the light orbs was too strong for them; they hoped that some scraps would fall from Ye Su's hands for them to taste.

However,

Ye Su didn't meet their longing gazes at all.

His heart was filled only with joy.

He reached the first light orb.

Buzz...

The air trembled slightly.

The light orb vanished, and a palm-sized treasure chest appeared in his hand.

Ye Su opened it without hesitation.

Oh?

Spirit Medicine!

The treasure chest disappeared, replaced by a fruit about the size of an apricot in his hand.

The moment it appeared, a faint fragrance immediately permeated the area.

Gulp—this aroma possessed a startling allure.

Even Li Qing couldn't help but swallow hard.

The others were salivating even more!

Ye Su didn't care about any of that.

He ate it on the spot.

Hmm... it was a bit tart, but the texture was good, with no pulp residue.

The flesh entered his mouth, and along with the full-bodied juice, it instantly slid into his stomach.

Suddenly,

a warm current rose from his lower abdomen and traveled throughout his body.

The Tai Xuan Scripture began to circulate frantically, guiding this warm current to continuously generate blood and Qi.

His blood and Qi surged.

Ye Su's entire body emitted an astonishing heat; with every breath, white mist rose.

[Physique +1]

'Beautiful!'

Ye Su rejoiced in his heart.

On the digital panel, his Physique value jumped once more.

This was proof of his rising strength.

It wasn't some illusory feeling of becoming a bit stronger, but a solid, tangible improvement.

Every time Physique increased, combat power would rise exponentially.

This was an unalterable fact.

The potential of a Professional was terrifying!

"He's becoming stronger, even stronger!"

Black Tiger's voice sounded in Li Qing's ear.

"One step ahead means every step is ahead. As he gets stronger and stronger, he can continuously seize the global Professional boons, then completely surpass us and reach a level we can't even comprehend!"

Li Qing nodded.

This was the law of development.

Someone who seizes the initiative will naturally grow stronger and stronger, like a rolling snowball!

"Wait—"

Li Qing suddenly spoke.

"Leave the seed."

Seeing Ye Su finish the fruit and prepare to toss the seed away, he quickly stopped him.

Spirit Medicine.

A non-renewable item.

Or rather, it was a non-renewable item at this current stage.

By keeping the seed, they could see if there was a chance to Cultivate it later.

If they relied entirely on opening treasure chests,

the amount of Spirit Medicine would be far too small.

If they could Cultivate it on a large scale, only then could they support the prosperity of this new era of global professions.

"Alright."

Ye Su handed the seed to Li Qing.

"If there really is a chance to Cultivate it, don't forget about me."

Li Qing carefully took the seed, wrapped it in paper, and smiled.

"You little rascal—"

"Hehe, let's continue."

Ye Su gave a light laugh and continued.

Why did he come out with a blade?

The main reason was for the treasure chests.

This was currently the fastest way to gain combat power.

This place was truly a land of opportunities; several light orbs were visible to the naked eye.

If every light orb could yield Spirit Medicine,

then Ye Su's combat power would surge by a large margin, creating a terrifying generational gap between him and other Professionals.

The group moved forward.

The people around Li Qing and Hu Hai's rescue team didn't mind much.

However, that group of Professionals grew increasingly envious.

This was just too great.

They were watching the other person's strength improve and become more terrifying, while they could only stand by and watch.

It's not fair!

Slowly, this thought began to sprout in many of their minds.

Oh, youths from the ivory tower.

It seemed they hadn't yet discovered the principles of this new era.

About ten minutes later.

The second light orb was reached.

Ye Su reached out to touch it.

"Hold on."

Someone shouted.

"Ye Su, you've already taken one light orb. This one should be ours to open."

As this voice rang out,

a large chorus of agreement followed.

Ye Su's hand paused slightly.

Then, without hesitation, he continued to touch the light orb.

The next second,

a red jade tablet appeared.

This is...

A skill!

[Congratulations on obtaining the skill: Overlapping Wave Slash]

Good stuff!

Ye Su's eyes lit up.

Professionals could currently only equip two skills.

Ye Su still had one empty skill slot.

This was perfect for it.

Almost without hesitation, he crushed it on the spot.

Overlapping Wave Slash was thus imprinted into Ye Su's mind.

Sensing its uniqueness, the corners of Ye Su's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

A Martial Arts-type skill!

It was a skill, and even more so, an advancement of a Martial Art.

Perhaps there was a Martial Art called Overlapping Wave Slash in this world, and after cultivating it diligently, one would comprehend several major killing moves within it.

But if it was imprinted as a skill,

it directly skipped the process of diligent cultivation and allowed one to directly comprehend the killing moves.

Overlapping Wave Slash had a total of eight strikes.

Once the skill was activated,

the blade would be like a tide, layer upon layer.

Each strike stronger than the last, each strike more ruthless than the last.

And the stamina consumed would be slightly less.

Compared to his own Impact Vigor, it was a different path.

Impact Vigor was unreasonable, exploding directly.

It followed the path of instantaneous bursts.

Overlapping Wave Slash followed the path of building momentum.

The two could complement each other, greatly filling the gaps in Ye Su's combat capabilities.

He could burst in moments of crisis,

and overwhelm others with momentum during prolonged battles.

It filled his shortcomings!

"Ye Su, you're going too far. With so many people here, I've never seen someone so selfish."

Witnessing Ye Su crush and absorb the jade tablet with their own eyes,

someone could no longer hold back and directly shouted in reprimand.

In the eyes of Li Qing and Black Tiger, there was an expression as if they had encountered an idiot.

Hu Hai slightly shook his head.

No, as a Professional, one must have the awareness of a Professional.

Trying to play the moral kidnapping card again was inappropriate.

Ye Su turned his head to look over.

The speaker was a young man wearing all branded clothes, with a look of disdain on his face toward Ye Su.

It was as if he were a high-and-mighty paragon of morality.

"If you keep chirping,"

Ye Su stared at him and said, his voice gradually turning cold,

"I will kill you!"

An uproar ensued.

The faces of the group of Professionals behind them changed instantly.

Kill... killing someone...

This—but they looked around.

Neither Li Qing nor Hu Hai had any intention of stepping in.

All at once,

everyone's faces turned pale, and they lowered their heads, no longer speaking.

The man being stared at by Ye Su widened his mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He originally wanted to say something like killing is illegal.

But suppressed by Ye Su's Aura, he couldn't open his mouth for the life of him.

Friend.

The rules for Professionals had already been established.

Zhang Hui had already demonstrated it vividly under that tree.

This is power; this is a boon.

It is also a tide, and a competition!

The strong shall ultimately be revered!

"Ye Su, don't be so aggressive..."

Zhang Hui's voice came from his ear.

And over there, that man also seemed to hear a voice in his earpiece; his face flushed red, yet he gritted his teeth and said to Ye Su:

"I'm... I'm sorry, I was being delusional."

It seemed

his Liaison Officer behind him was very smart!
