Chapter 11 Nine Star Fighter

Su Yun has already cultivated "Eight Extreme Burst" to the level of two layers of Dark Qi.

In terms of combat power, in the Gamma Empire, with his current cultivation level, he probably wouldn't find many opponents in the Fighter stage.

But the cultivation level of six stars is still too low, and fighting against higher-level opponents is unrealistic.

If he had a fourth-order magic core, allowing him to perfect "Eight Extreme Burst," it would be feasible, but obtaining a fourth-order magic core with his current strength...

"It's difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Without a background, it's like this.

Fourth-order magic beasts correspond to Fighter Spirit experts among humans. With his current small stature...

His current cultivation level is too low, and some ideas are simply impractical.

If he had the strength of a Fighter, combined with Yao Lao's memories as a second or third-grade alchemist, he could refine some pills, accumulate some gold coins over time, and there might be some hope.

However, the Fighter stage's Qi is too thin to support the refining of pills above the second grade...

Su Yun shook his head and put aside these thoughts.

The most pressing matter is to improve his strength. While being an alchemist provides many conveniences on the Martial Qi Continent, it also requires the support of Martial Qi cultivation.

With a thought, a slightly yellowed scroll appeared in Su Yun's hand.

This scroll is the remaining image of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

When the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was about to reach the end of his life, he was fatally injured by the backlash of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. He failed to erase the consciousness and memory of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire before dying, sealed the Pure Lotus Demon Fire in the Demon Fire Space, and left behind four remnants of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

However, Haibodong split one of them into two, so now there are five remaining images of the fire on the continent.

Each of the five images retains its residual soul, which means that for others to fully utilize it, all five images must be gathered. However, it's different for Su Yun.

"System, scan the remaining image of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire."

"Ding, scan successful."

"Ding, detected one remaining image of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint."

"Continue, scan the remaining image of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint."

"Ding, scan successful."

"Ding, obtained one portion of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's memory (incomplete)."

A hint of joy flashed in Su Yun's eyes.

Sure enough!

Su Yun chuckled softly, "I've already digested most of Yao Lao's memories in these seven months.

This remaining image comes just in time."

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint is more like a Half-Emperor than a Demon Saint.

An existence that has taken another half step beyond the pinnacle of Nine Star Fighters, invincible among contemporaries due to its high cultivation level.

If not for the constraints of the Source Qi, it might have ascended to the void long ago.

Su Yun's smile was undisguised.

A Half-Emperor who lived to his limit has a collection of techniques and skills that can't be compared to Yao Chen.

The Yao Sect is also quite good; within the Martial Continent, it dominates in the absence of the ancient eight tribes.

But don't talk about Half-Emperors, even compared to Saints, there is a world of difference.

There is also a significant difference in techniques and skills. Although Yao Lao himself is of the fire attribute, the techniques he cultivates are only of the Earth rank.

Even without the memories of his past life, after obtaining Yao Lao's memories, Su Yun knew Yao Lao's high-level techniques and skills inside out.

While there are Earth-ranked techniques, there isn't even a single fragment of a Heavenly-ranked one.

Yao Chen was expelled from the Yao family at a young age and couldn't enjoy the resources of the Yao family.

Now Su Yun's cultivation is low, but he has to plan for the future.

Even if the memories of the Half-Emperor are incomplete, they are of great help for the future. Not to mention anything else, in the future, there will be no shortage of techniques to cultivate at the Heavenly rank.

Su Yun put away the remaining image of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and took out a plant with alternating white and red leaves.

"I previously only thought about the Bone Spirit Cold Fire's fusion of extreme cold and extreme heat, but I overlooked the Ice Flame Grass's dual attributes." Su Yun muttered.

"The Frozen Cold Decision" may not need to absorb the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to solve the problem of fusing the ice and fire dual attributes.

"System, integrate Ice Flame Grass and 'Frozen Cold Decision'."

"Ding, detected a fusion plan."

"Ding, it requires consuming a fourth-order magic core. Do you want to integrate?"

"Fourth order!" Su Yun's eyes almost popped out.

What's going on here?

Isn't fusion supposed to be charged according to the grade after fusion?

After fusion, can it even advance to the advanced Profound rank?

Fourth-order magic beasts correspond to Fighter Spirit experts, and he, a Fighter-level scum, is only equivalent to a first-order magic beast.

The consumption required for the fusion of the herb's ice and fire characteristics with the technique might be different from the fusion between techniques.

Su Yun cursed as he left the inn, heading once again towards the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

"To perfect 'Eight Extreme Burst' requires a fourth-order magic core, and to solve the flaw in 'Frozen Cold Decision' also requires a fourth-order magic core?!

Is this asking for my life?!"

He can only pin his hopes on his identity as an alchemist.

His previous methods in Wutan City probably won't work; magic cores above the third order won't appear in low-end places like the market there.

He could go to the auction house, but it's too far away, and the system can't retrieve it.

With the money in the cave, he could buy a third-order magic core, but forget about the fourth order.

...

One day, in a cave on the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

"This tiger claw really hurts like hell!"

The longer Su Yun stayed in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, the further away the nine-year compulsory education went.

Other than Su Yun, there was no one else in the cave. Apart from Su Yun's cursing, there was only the crackling sound of the fire burning.

With a few "crackling" sounds, sparks burst out from the top of the flame.

A faint light shone on the young man's face.

In the practice of Martial Qi, from the third stage of Martial Qi to the present, the young and tender child is no longer soft-skinned and tender, but has become hardened by wind and sun.

It's been over a year since leaving Wutan City, hasn't it?

Su Yun silently counted the time in his heart.

It took seven months from arriving at the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range to finding the cave.

Now another six months have passed.

"It's been a year." Su Yun sighed.

Practicing, indeed, is difficult.

Su Yun shook his head and applied the coagulated blood powder to the wound on his arm.

There's no such thing as a fight without injuries.

For a Fighter-level cultivator, practicing at the Fighter stage is relatively simple with his current talent.

With his current progress and the cultivation of "Eight Extreme Burst" to the fourth layer of Dark Qi, it's not difficult to fight against second-order magic beasts.

Indeed, this is the case. These days, he has been picking fights with second-order magic beasts all over the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

With the explosive nature of "Eight Extreme Burst" erupting within his body, Su Yun is not afraid of the naturally strong physique of magic beasts.

The physique of magic beasts is strong, but their internal organs are just as fragile, and low-level magic beasts have little intelligence, allowing him to single-handedly kill them multiple times.

But after fighting birds all day, today he was pecked by a bird.

In the morning, he was ambushed by a second-order fierce tiger. Although he killed it, he still suffered a scratch.

Su Yun bandaged the wound and began to refine the Flame Blood.

Although Flame Blood is a first-grade pill, it is actually a "potion".

The Alchemist Guild evaluates the grade of alchemists based on the formation of finished pills, indicating the ease of refining something like Flame Blood.

In this year and more, Su Yun's rapid progress in cultivation owes much to the Flame Blood.
