25: Chapter 25 Three People Upgrade

Day Seven.

A new day dawned, and the monsters in the Haishi Void Realm grew stronger again, with the lowest reaching Black Iron Level Six, and some elite monsters even reaching Level Seven.

This was undoubtedly the best news for Fang Yuan, who urgently needed high-level monsters to level up.

As soon as it was light, the group of three prepared to leave the tall building and enter the mist to hunt monsters.

With Fang Yuan and Li Xuefei, two individuals with powerful Talents, no monster could last more than a few minutes against them.

Especially Li Xuefei, who possessed the Gold Rank Talent 【Ice Spirit】. Relying on her ability to control ice power to condense ice blades, her speed in hunting monsters was twice that of Fang Yuan.

She didn't even need to get close to the monsters; the ice blades shot out at high speed under her control, and not a single monster could escape.

Fang Yuan, with only close-combat abilities, simply couldn't compete with her. Even if he displayed greater attack power and faster speed, it was impossible for him to attack targets on both sides simultaneously.

For Li Xuefei, however, this was just basic operation, without any difficulty.

As for Lin Zhizhi, with her current strength, she was already unable to claim a monster from the other two. However, she hadn't planned on hunting monsters before they leveled up.

As they killed monster after monster, Lin Zhizhi dragged her small cart behind them, extracting the crystal cores from the monsters.

As the monster's Rank increased, the energy they provided also significantly increased.

Soon, by one in the afternoon, Li Xuefei, the fastest, successfully accumulated enough energy and ascended to Black Iron Level Eight.

At this time, Fang Yuan's accumulated energy had just barely surpassed sixty percent, a much slower pace compared to before.

There was nothing he could do; finding monsters took a lot of time. They spent most of their time searching for monsters, and since he couldn't outcompete others, his speed was naturally much slower.

Having completed her upgrade, Li Xuefei very consciously left the remaining monsters for Fang Yuan. She even thoughtfully used her ice power to break the monsters' legs, assisting him in quickly hunting them down.

With the assistance of Li Xuefei, the ranged mage, Fang Yuan's speed in acquiring energy increased significantly. As monsters died one after another, a surge of energy flowed into his body.

Fang Yuan

Rank: Black Iron Level Eight (0%)

True Spirit Talent: Origin Devouring (Silver Rank)

Talent: Origin Enhancement (13.2%)

With the Rank increase, Fang Yuan clearly felt his strength receive another significant boost.

Coupled with his Talent's ability, having risen to Black Iron Level Eight, he now possessed nearly 1,300 points of strength.

Boom!!

Having leveled up and wanting to test his strength, Fang Yuan punched a nearby tree. The tree, over twenty centimeters in diameter, was instantly snapped in half.

Looking at the area he hit, where the tree trunk shattered into a pile of fragments that shot into the ground ahead, he nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected of someone with the 【Strength Enhancement】 Talent. To have over 1,200 points of strength at Black Iron Level Eight..."

Li Xuefei marveled at the effect of his punch, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. Although her own Talent was better, it would be even better if she had such a strong Physique.

Her Talent didn't offer much Physique enhancement. Her Physique was that of an ordinary Black Iron Level Eight, with only over 800 points of strength.

Fang Yuan only took three hours to level up, and there was still some time before dark.

Having leveled up, the two didn't forget the person who had been following them. They then pressed on, helping Lin Zhizhi quickly accumulate energy.

With two powerful individuals leading, Lin Zhizhi once again experienced rapid leveling, as monster after monster was killed by her with a large saber.

Nearing midnight, after eight hours of hunting, she successfully stepped into the Ranks of Black Iron Level Eight.

Once their leveling was complete, the three found a luxurious hotel to rest, planning to stay there for a day.

Their Ranks were a bit high for the current Haishi Void Realm. Even by tomorrow, there wouldn't be many Black Iron Level Seven monsters, which couldn't provide enough energy for them at Black Iron Level Eight.

Without suitable monsters to hunt, they could only passively decide not to go out tomorrow and wait until the last day when monster Ranks generally increased to Black Iron Level Seven before taking action... Day Eight, on the top floor of a luxurious hotel.

Fang Yuan, with nothing to do, lay on a soft, comfortable sofa, with Li Xuefei and Lin Zhi Zhi beside him.

A day of leisure, naturally, would not be spent lying in bed. After some searching, the three of them piled a large amount of snacks and pastries in front of them, and in this magnificent hotel, they overlooked the mist outside, chatting and laughing.

Basically, Li Xuefei was doing most of the talking, and the other two were listening, as she knew much more than them.

"Currently, there are three dangerous Void Realms near Sea City: the Earth Demon Territory, which has been completely assimilated, the Land of Evil, and the Spirit Void Realm, which is half-fallen."

"Regardless of which Void Realm it is, they are all incredibly dangerous for us. There are terrifying monsters there that surpass the Legendary Rank, but fortunately, they cannot cross over.

The half-fallen Spirit Void Realm is particularly special. This Void Realm, like our Tianlan Star, is facing Void Realm erosion. It started several hundred years earlier than us, and the degree of assimilation is deeper.

Highly intelligent beings, the Spirit Race, live there. Having been affected by the Void Realm for a longer time, they have already given birth to True Spirit Professionals who surpass the Legendary Rank.

According to my grandfather, he learned many truths in the Spirit Void Realm...!"

As Li Xuefei spoke, more and more truths about the world began to unveil their mysterious veil to the two.

Behind every Void Realm was a world even larger than the original Tianlan Star. Perhaps they were once real worlds from the very beginning.

"There are actually three Void Realms. Does that mean we'll have to enter one of them after we leave?"

The unknown world made people curious. Lin Zhizhi, who had spent sixteen years in the harsh environment of the Outer City, yearned for the world outside.

"Don't think too highly of these three Void Realms. Any one of them can kill a Silver Rank Professional. Before we reach Silver Rank, we still have to stay obediently in Sea City."

Li Xuefei's words cruelly shattered the young girl's fantasy. Dying in other Void Realms was not like here; it was truly losing one's life.

Without sufficient strength, entering these three Void Realms was an act of suicide.

Newcomers like them and Bronze Rank Professionals should honestly stay under the protection of Sea City and discuss entering more dangerous Void Realms after they become stronger... "Oh, by the way, Captain, I have a question. Is it true that as long as there are enough crystal cores, a Professional's Rank can quickly level up?"

During this time, Lin Zhizhi asked a question that suddenly came to her mind. She now had crystal cores worth nearly 30,000 energy points.

If it were possible, she couldn't even imagine what would happen. Perhaps she wouldn't even want to hunt monsters anymore, and by simply absorbing the crystal core energy, she could Break through to Black Iron Rank Ten or even Bronze Rank.

"It's not that simple. The Haishi Void Realm is a unique benefit for us newcomers. During these Nine Heavens, our bodies become very active because we've just Awakened our Talents, allowing us to easily absorb energy.

Once this state is gone, the body will stabilize. At that point, absorbing energy will require a lot of time, slowly wearing down and breaking through the Rank limits.

Don't think that just because we've risen to Black Iron Level Eight in a few short days, we can easily Break through to Bronze Professional later. It might take us several weeks."

"Also, the energy in low-level monster crystal cores is impure. Absorbing this type of energy is twice the effort for half the result. Those crystal cores of yours won't do much for us. We can only use them after extracting and purifying the energy through equipment."

Facing someone with no common sense, Li Xuefei patiently explained to the two.

Reality is not a game where you can level up indefinitely with enough energy. Otherwise, after fifty years, Sea City would not have failed to produce a Professional beyond the Legendary Rank.

Various Cultivation common sense for Professionals flowed from Li Xuefei's mouth, making the two realize that leveling up required immense effort.

The crystal core energy purification she spoke of was Sea City's method of extracting energy from crystal cores using scientific means to create energy potions that could boost a Professional's energy.

The Ranks of energy potions were also divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver..., with each further subdivided into five minor Ranks.

As long as a Professional took the corresponding energy potion, they could easily increase their energy by more than one percentage point.

Of course, there were also significant restrictions. First, they were expensive. Ordinary Professionals who wanted to purchase the corresponding energy potions needed to spend a lot of time earning energy points.

Second, it required time to adapt. Everyone's Physique here was different. Some chosen individuals could continue taking them the next day, while others might need several days.

"So there are so many twists and turns here!"

Lin Zhizhi was overwhelmed by the massive amount of information and didn't react for a moment, her face blank, especially when she learned that a Black Iron Rank Five energy potion required a thousand energy points.

One bottle of Rank Five energy potion could increase a Black Iron Rank Nine Professional's energy by three percent, which would translate to at least 30,000 energy points.

Her harvest these past few days was only 30,000 energy points. For Black Iron Rank Ten, it was even more exaggerated, requiring 100,000 energy points to obtain enough energy potions.
