67: Starry Eyes

Joint casting is a very advanced technique.

Its essence is actually elemental reaction.

Koda Team's mage, Zhou Qingge's class template, Elementalist, focuses on elemental reactions.

But elemental reactions are difficult to control, even for one person, let alone two people who are not in sync.

Zhao Wenlong and Bai Ziqing were childhood sweethearts; they went to the same school from a young age and joined the same team.

After so many years together, they had a telepathic connection.

But one was a chuunibyou teenager, and the other was a cold, aloof older sister; even if they had feelings for each other, they were hesitant and didn't know how to express themselves.

Lin Ye only noticed something was off with them after spending a long time together.

However, they were outsiders after all, and the final outcome depended on them.

They returned early; there were still two days until the competition ended, and then one day of rest.

He had a very important task during these three days: diligently earn skill points.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai had transformed.

After Star Child reached Grandmastery, not only did the amplification increase several times, but it also gave Star Spirit Xiao Bai another chance to transform.

It had been some time since this skill was maxed out, and many points had already been invested during the transformation period.

He vaguely felt that Star Spirit Xiao Bai would successfully transform within these two days.

He still had to keep grinding.

As the TigersquatPlain escort mission concluded, the rankings were also released.

Lin Ye was engrossed in training and didn't pay attention to the specific process, only glancing at the results.

The first and second places were naturally taken by Avengers Alliance and their Prosperity.

Third and fourth were Xia Country Star Cloud and Mao Xiong Da Yi Wan Team respectively.

These two teams were powerful and dealt with the Predator beast hordes easily, but they lacked speed-boosting methods.

Lin Ye was utterly surprised by the fifth place, which was actually Shenzhou Team.

However, it seemed quite reasonable; their team had Void Assassins, and even if their storage space wasn't as large as his, it could still reduce the burden, plus all five assassins were good at reconnaissance, escaping, and were fast, which was understandable.

The remaining three were Beautiful Country Alpha Team, Elephant Country Brahman, and Yamato Country Takamagahara.

Alpha Team implemented military-style management, so their mission mode was very strong.

As soon as the results were out, Xia Country netizens cheered.

"Unbelievable, this time three teams made it into the top eight; usually, two teams are considered good."

"Prosperity is truly unexpected; Lin Ye's Space Control ability is too useful."

"Shenzhou was really lucky to encounter what they are best at."

Lin Ye highly agreed with the netizens' comments.

Shenzhou Team was too extreme, but extremity had its advantages; with good luck, it could lead to an epic performance.

In fact, their Prosperity was also particularly lucky this time.

Especially the first match.

They encountered a treasure land, not only acquiring many good items but also avoiding subsequent struggles.

Their luck was also very good the second time, encountering Avengers Alliance and opportunistically staying behind, which significantly sped up their progress.

Otherwise, if a few beast hordes had appeared in the middle and blocked them, they probably would have ended up in third or fourth place.

Just then, Star Spirit Xiao Bai completed its transformation.

Lin Ye quickly checked the panel.

Contractor: Star Spirit Xiao Bai

Skills: Star Child (Grandmastery 0.1%), Contract (Cannot be upgraded, Contracted), Dream (Mastery), Space Control (Mastery), Star Eyes (Beginner 0.1%)

Star Eyes?

Judging by the name, it was a detection ability.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai transmitted the skill information.

Star Eyes, a pure support ability.

It wasn't a traditional enhancement of vision, but rather a way to observe the world in a very fundamental manner.

After Lin Ye activated it, he found that the world he observed was completely different.

Other substances in the world appeared like transparent glass to him; only Star Power could fill them with color.

And it was 360-degree, without blind spots.

He observed his teammates training beside him.

Chen Ou was earthy yellow, and the color was the most intense; Wang Mengmeng was green, Bai Ziqing was cyan, and Zhao Wenlong was red.

It seemed he could detect the main attribute of the opponent's ability.

He looked at his hands, which were black with silver.

Upon closer inspection, he found that he could also roughly deduce the opponent's ability based on the ability's effect on their body.

For example, if a mage had an ability that enhanced the Soul, the Soul light cluster in the brain region would display different forms and patterns.

If a warrior had an ability that enhanced the physical body, enhancing muscles, the originally transparent muscle fibers would be rendered.

In short, the ability was very strong.

It also provided a significant enhancement to vision.

It further boosted his already strong power.

Most importantly, it allowed for X-ray vision; under Star Eyes' perspective, nothing could obstruct his sight.

"Lin Ye, why are you bleeding from your nose?" Chen Ou asked with concern; the big brother was quite caring towards his teammates.

"Oh, oh, I just experimented with another training method for my five senses enhancement, and there was a slight mishap." Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged as he casually wiped away the nosebleed.

"I'm going to wash up." He turned and left.

"Be careful next time, ah; cultivation still needs to be steady." Chen Ou reminded him with concern.

Lin Ye secretly thought, 'My sin, my sin.'

He felt a little guilty.

In his previous life, he had watched an anime, Naruto, where one of the Byakugan's abilities was X-ray vision.

As a child, he had especially wanted to acquire this ability.

Now that he had it, he felt a sense of guilt instead.

"No, what am I guilty of? The skill's perspective is all transparent glass-like; it's not even as appealing as a bikini." Lin Ye felt he was overthinking it.

Such a good skill naturally couldn't be left unused; how could he give up eating for fear of choking?

Having balanced the moral issues in his heart, he also began to further develop Star Eyes.

Star Eyes' advancement actually required twice as many skill points as a Star Level ability.

Lin Ye's spirits immediately lifted.

The more skill points required, the stronger the ability; this was an unchanging truth.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai's transformation this time seemed to have yielded something good.

It might also be the benefit of Star Child reaching Grandmastery.

Now, he was filled with anticipation for the skill that Star Spirit Xiao Bai would acquire after Star Child reached Mastery.

However, Star Eyes still had potential to be tapped; he was now planning to put all his skill points into Star Eyes, and then continue to add to Star Spirit Xiao Bai's Star Child.

Now he had also determined the direction of Star Spirit Xiao Bai's skill generation.

They were all support-oriented, generated purely for the Star Spirit's better survival.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai's sleep time was too long, so it gained the Dream skill.

With Dream, they often met in dreams; he would cultivate, and Star Spirit Xiao Bai would play beside him.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai needed life-saving abilities, so it awakened Space Control.

To be precise, it was a support-oriented Space Control.

Space abilities also had offensive abilities, such as Space Tear, Black Hole, and so on.

But Star Spirit Xiao Bai's Space Control was completely unrelated to attack; Lin Ye had also tried to attack with Space Control, but it had no effect.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai's Space Control was solely for escaping, hiding, and storage; even in terms of defense, it was blank.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai was afraid of being ambushed, so it awakened Star Eyes, a super long-range 360-degree X-ray vision without blind spots, and it could also observe the opponent's abilities and strength.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai, what else do you want? Hurry up and tell me, do you want to be invincible in the world, with no one able to break your defense, and then awaken an invincible shield?

Or perhaps feel the mysteries of myriad abilities, and awaken a Devour skill.

At the very least, wanting a support skill that can control time, that's very reasonable, right?

Lin Ye subtly hinted to Star Spirit Xiao Bai.

Star Spirit Xiao Bai was confused, Star Spirit Xiao Bai had a puzzled look.
