121: Chapter 121 Returning with a Small Gain
Because Huang Tao behind him was overly cautious, the distance between the two basically remained above one kilometer.
As for Fang Yuan, his attention had always been on killing monsters and experimenting with Myriad Laws Return to Origin, so he never noticed Huang Tao's presence.
After another two hours of continuous use of Myriad Laws Return to Origin, combined with previous experience, Fang Yuan finally gained a little insight into his conjectured ultimate move — Return to Void.
The powerful might unleashed by combining two types of elemental energy for an attack was slightly improved by him, but the consumption remained two portions, with no change.
After reaching Silver Rank Three, and then devouring the Origin of various monsters, Fang Yuan's strength reached 530,000 points.
At full power, Myriad Laws Return to Origin reached a terrifying 1.18 million points. If multiple elements erupted together, it could unleash an attack exceeding 1.8 million points.
This power was already close to the level unleashed by a normal Silver Rank Eight Professional (2 million).
With such immense power, Fang Yuan directly took off and discarded several Bronze Rank true spirit artifacts that were somewhat restrictive, only keeping the sharp bronze long saber.
With over 1.8 million points of power, Bronze Rank true spirit artifacts no longer provided any amplification for him; only the sharp bronze long saber still had some use, which is why he kept it.
Just as Uncle Mo said, True Spirit Professionals should not rely too much on true spirit artifacts.
Of course, Silver Rank true spirit artifacts would also work, but these Silver Rank true spirit artifacts were too expensive.
Even the most common Silver Rank long saber would cost forty to fifty million energy points. Adding other miscellaneous true spirit artifacts, fully equipping oneself would probably cost three to four hundred million energy points.
At such an exorbitant price, true spirit artifacts were simply not something ordinary Professionals could afford.
Moreover, Silver Rank true spirit artifacts were dispensable for Fang Yuan now. At his current leveling speed, he would probably reach Silver Rank 10 or even Gold Rank in no time.
By then, Silver Rank true spirit artifacts would not be of much help to him; he would need Gold Rank true spirit artifacts.
And Gold Rank true spirit artifacts, their price would be even more expensive; without tens of billions, there's no need to even consider the issue.
Gold Rank and Silver Rank were a watershed, which made true spirit artifacts of this Rank particularly expensive.
Killing more monsters after his power increased did not make Fang Yuan's leveling speed faster.
It wasn't until three hours later, which was the fifth hour after entering the Hidden Mist Forest, that he leveled up again to Silver Rank Four, a significantly slower pace compared to before.
This was because as his Rank increased, the monsters in this area were relatively low-Rank for him, and killing low-Rank monsters yielded significantly less energy than high-Rank monsters.
Fang Yuan estimated that at the current speed, he would need at least five hours to level up again.
In fact, this was also a point the Human Alliance hadn't considered; they probably didn't expect someone to be such a Prodigy, capable of sustaining high-intensity combat for over five hours.
Most people would usually exit the Void Realm Instance after leveling up one or two Ranks by grinding monsters, and the next time they entered the Instance, they would be teleported to a suitable area.
Unlike Fang Yuan now, who had leveled up twice and was only just getting started, with more to come.
He had no other choice in this regard; actively activating his identity bracelet also had limitations. After leaving, he would need at least ten hours before he could use it again.
He couldn't possibly leave and wait ten hours just to reach a suitable leveling area; with that time, he might as well stay and continue grinding monsters to level up.
Another ten-plus hours passed.
"What kind of freak is this? He can maintain high-intensity combat for over ten hours. Even someone at Silver Rank 10 couldn't do that."
Huang Tao, who had been following behind, was repeatedly shocked. Didn't they say that the energy boost for Silver Rank Professionals had a limited duration? How could the Prodigy in front continue for over ten hours without any sign of stopping?
He could now be 100% certain that the person in front was a Transcendent True Spirit Talent Holder, one of the less than fifty super Prodigies in the entire Alliance, who might truly be able to achieve this level.
Otherwise, what Talent could use multiple elemental energies for attack? He had seen at least four or five types behind him.
Currently, Myriad Laws Return to Origin could release over five hundred types of elements, the reason he only saw four or five types of elemental attacks was because Fang Yuan himself was experimenting with the feasibility of Return to Void, so from beginning to end, he only used five types of elemental energy, such as fire, wood, and wind.
"It's a pity time is up, otherwise the gains from this trip might have been enough to cover the cost of a Void Realm Instance teleportation array."
After following for over ten hours, Huang Tao looked at the large number of monster corpses ahead that still had their crystal cores unextracted. Since his time was almost exceeding the Silver Rank limit.
Not wanting to have even the slightest chance of contracting monster syndrome, he could only activate his identity bracelet, carrying the large bag behind him, valued at forty to fifty million energy points.
As the Instance exit procedure was activated, Huang Tao, along with the large bag he was carrying, vanished.
Fang Yuan, unaware that someone had been behind him, continued his relentless bombardment. He had no idea that his exaggerated performance had given others such a huge shock.
Also because of Huang Tao, soon hundreds of thousands of people in this part of the Hidden Mist Forest knew that a Transcendent True Spirit Talent Prodigy had come here to grind monsters and level up... "Phew~, the monster Rank here is too low; it can no longer satisfy my rapid leveling."
After twenty hours of intense battle, Fang Yuan, who finally reached Silver Rank Six, had no choice but to terminate his second monster-grinding and leveling journey.
It took him nearly ten hours to upgrade from Silver Rank Five to Silver Rank Six. If he continued, he might not even reach Silver Rank Seven by the time all his Silver Rank time was used up.
After reaching Silver Rank Seven, he specifically stayed for another two hours, devouring monster Origin to reinforce his Physical Body.
By the time his Physical Body reinforcement reached its limit, the accumulated energy he gained was only a pitiful nine percent.
Facing this situation, choosing to leave the Instance was the best option.
As he left, Fang Yuan was in a very good mood. Not only had his Rank increased, but he had also gained considerable insights from using Myriad Laws Return to Origin...
