Chapter 451: Seclusion and Training
Chapter 451: Seclusion and Training
After a brief moment of thought, Manina XIII nodded. "Have Base 074 increase its alert level. Pass my order to Lance to get it done as soon as possible."
"Understood!"
"There's one more thing," Manina added, still deep in thought.
"Besides Base 074, all other major bases should also enhance their defense deployments. Upgrade the defensive level from 3A to 2S."
"As for the smaller bases, gradually abandon the ones within China, and maintain the status quo for those in other regions. Inform Lance of this as well."
"Your will is my command." Xion knelt on one knee and replied.
"Also, stop mentioning Su Yu. It's been a headache these past few days." Manina rubbed his aching temples. "The deadline is up in three days. By then, the lord will attempt to persuade the Blue Star human named 'Cao Cao' to surrender. Make sure the satellite is ready for real-time monitoring."
"Understood, I'll have the satellite ready ahead of time!"
"Very well, you may go now. Come to me if anything comes up."
Xion quickly got to his feet, sneaking a glance at the disheveled princesses nearby, and bowed to the emperor. "May you enjoy your time, Your Majesty. I will execute your orders immediately."
...
The scene shifts back to Su Yu.
After securing the small psychic springs "Tai Er," "Tai Si," and "Tai Shi" in the Taihang Mountains, Su Yu didn't push further.
First, he successfully handed over to the Blue Star forces, then he kept his promise to accompany Tina to the movies, night markets, and famous tourist spots.
Even though it was evening, their advanced abilities allowed them to see the flora and fauna clearly without any light.
Most importantly, with Su Yu by her side, Tina had a blast.
At 8 AM, the two of them returned to the game world.
Su Yu locked himself in the mage tower, entering a seclusion mode for intense training.
This time, he didn't involve the young girl Cathy, as the materials he was using were all high-grade and above the fifth rank. The energy density was too high, and he was afraid the residual radiation from the material refinement might be too much for her to handle.
He had to personally handle the refinement, carefully placing each high-grade material into the magic pool according to a special formula.
The magic pool spun rapidly, releasing a tangible torrent of energy. Constrained by the array, this energy surged through Su Yu's body, enhancing his strength.
The experience bar, which hadn't moved in a long time, started climbing steadily!
Chime! By absorbing [Refined Magic], you gain 20,000 experience points.
Chime! By absorbing [Refined Magic], you gain 16,000 experience points.
Chime! By absorbing [Refined Magic], ...
Moreover, during the refinement process, some of the materials' attributes were transferred to Su Yu.
For example, when he refined the [Heart of the Blue Dragon Skadi], he gained the [Weaver's Heart] skill, allowing him to transform into an adult blue dragon. This was his core move at the moment.
In the latest round of refinement, he refined the [Unicorn Horn of the Thunder Lizard King], gaining a small-range AoE skill called [Thunder Dragon Roar]. He also refined 200 [Feathers of the Sacred Firebird], gaining the [Blazing Speed] skill, which significantly increased his movement speed for a short time.
Given the sheer number of materials being refined, it would be impractical to list them all.
As the days of seclusion passed, Su Yu's strength grew exponentially. Every few days, he would undergo a complete transformation, climbing to new heights of power.
However, due to the warning from the War Monitor Link, Su Yu didn't devote all his time to training as he did when advancing from third to sixth rank.
Every hour of cultivation, he would set aside 20 minutes to study and research Antonidas's spatial magic and Khadgar's arcane magic.
Each day, he would also find two hours to visit the Silverpine Spire to learn the basics of magic, solidifying his foundation to prevent his strength from becoming a castle built on illusions.
While Su Yu was in seclusion, the kitten Chenxing would always lie beside him, absorbing experience crystals.
Ever since she obtained the Starscarred Eye, Chen Xing had become much more enthusiastic about her training. After all, reaching the pinnacle of the seventh rank was every Star Realm cat's dream! Now that she had the opportunity, she certainly wouldn't miss it.
In addition to enhancing his own strength and Chen Xing's, Su Yu didn't forget about Tina.
Tina was the kind of fighter who was unmatched at her rank. Once she advanced to the seventh-rank Legendary, her overall strength would rival that of a seventh-rank peak! Add to that her nine lives in the real world, and even eighth-rank divine Scrull warriors would find her a headache.
Su Yu's goal was to ensure Tina's strength reached the Legendary rank before the final battle.
To this end, he ordered his domain's commerce minister, Vena Blackgold, to search the world for high-quality blood suitable for Tina, purchasing it at a high price whenever it was discovered.
On the seventh day of his seclusion, Su Yu and Tina visited the Netherwind Keep in the Wensyl Bloodline District of the Lionheart Empire, meeting with the leader, Emperor Denathrius. They also visited the vampire gathering area in the Windchime Empire to meet Count Vladimir.
After a series of "friendly" discussions, Su Yu and Tina obtained blood samples from all magical beasts, as well as a lot of high-rank beast blood, essentially fulfilling Tina's requirements for advancement.
Thus, Tina's ascension was now just a matter of time.
...
On the morning of the second day of Su Yu's formal seclusion, in a meeting hall of the Lionheart Empire's royal palace, Emperor Lionheart, Intelligence Minister Sion, and Expeditionary Army Commander Ranche were watching a satellite feed of the adult Scrull persuading Cao Cao to surrender.
On an ice plain at the South Pole of the Scrull planet.
The South Pole was currently in a period of continuous daylight, so the sky was always bright.
Plante, piloting a fiery red mech, approached Cao Cao with his colleagues, looking menacing.
Cao Cao sat cross-legged on the ice, his once-burned beard slightly disheveled in the wind.
After three days of recuperation, his internal injuries had improved significantly.
However, he still had no grasp on the Hilt of the Thousand Admonishments Sword.
Perhaps because his realm was too low, the hilt showed no intention of accepting him.
Only when he transformed into a purple-skinned electric mouse did the hilt emit a faint, weak sense of goodwill.
Plante hovered in the sky, flanked by the Scrull League's divine psychic Stym, the "Shining Queen" Victoria, the blue dragon king Kalecgos of the dragon race, and the white-headed eagle Sam, known as the "Wings of Freedom."
Other divine beings were absent for various reasons.
He slowly approached Cao Cao, a faint smirk on his face. "Mr. Cao, how about our proposal? Are you willing to join us?"
Cao Cao remained calm.
He stood up, leaning on the sword hilt, and looked at the five divine beings without fear. "Your conditions? I'd like to hear them again."
