Chapter 26: Rainbow After The Storm, Su Yun’s Will!

Su Yun also discovered a series of problems regarding the upgrade.

This upgrade would solve the insufficient explosive power problem from its source.

However, the weapon was only a perfect-grade transcendent weapon, which still was not enough. He still had to carry out the next step of his plan.

If one had not planned everything out, they would definitely have some immediate worries.

Every step he took was a routine operation. This was just a normal action. There was nothing worth paying attention to.

[ Boiling Blood ]'s power was very much in line with his initial idea.

Even though it caused the smithy to turn into dust during the testing process, there was nothing to say about its results.

[ Volcano Blood ] was a rough conclusion of what [ Boiling Blood ] could be during the planning process. It was connected to the direction of the later stages of blood upgrades.

However, the materials used were becoming more and more precious, making it harder to find them.

On the contrary, there was no longer a need to be as careful as he was before during the refinement process.

After all, now the blood was already refined into a perfect grade transcendent weapon. The difficulty for the next upgrade was lower, and the benefits were better.

This was also within the scope of his earliest plan.

Su Yun found all the materials he needed for the upgrade on the website. Only a few of the materials could not be bought.

One was a fifth-grade material, blue flame flower, and the other was a material called volcano giant.

Blue flame flower was a powerful flame flower that existed inside the volcano.

There were four effects when incorporating this into forging a weapon. 

One, it could increase the user's fire resistance. 

Two, it could greatly increase the user's fire ability.

Three, it could activate the blood's activity and slow down the aging process.

And four, it could improve the user's ability to absorb spiritual power. There was a high probability that a non-martial artist could become a beginner level martial disciple by using this ingredient.

These four effects made Su Yun realize that it was impossible for him to buy the blue flame flower with his current financial resources.

The relevant information he found showed this impossibility. 

Every time the blue flame flower bloomed, it would trigger a heated discussion in the auction house. It could often be auctioned for 500,000 to 600,000 alliance dollars. Sometimes, it could even be auctioned for millions of alliance dollars. It was insane!

After all, this was an ingredient that had a high probability of completely changing a person's fate!

Everyone would give it their all even if they had to throw everything they had for it!

On the other hand, the volcanic giant was an extremely rare fierce beast that lived in fire.

It was usually a powerful existence that was at least a fifth grade beast.

Other than its regenerative ability, its explosive power and combat strength were all stronger than a colossal magic ape!

When he thought of being able to compete with such an existence, he actually had the urge to give it a try.

During the last Martial Union assessment, he had only used a single punch to completely destroy that so-called top-tier machine.

He did not enjoy it at all.

The group of people that he met on the way back last time, the driver, the white-bodied humanoid, and the undead, were all no match for him.

There was also that count he mentioned. How could that rainbow haired corpse remember such a long name!

However, all of this meant that the young man was not fighting alone.

Who knew if these people had any special methods to look for him.

Su Yun was not afraid of these dangers now, but he had two grandchildren in his family that did not have any strong defensive skills!

Compared to those martial grandmasters, their strengths were far from enough.

His actual combat ability was pitifully low. If it were not for the simulation test, which allowed Su Yun to grasp a certain amount of actual combat ability, he might have suffered a bigger loss in that battle on the bus!

The materials needed for the next stage were all related to volcanoes. Moreover, the base city did not have any of those in stock.

He must go out to look for them himself!

The materials he needed, the battle experience he needed, all indicated that he should definitely go out to explore outside the base city.

Su Yun was not someone who was hesitant. Since he had a clear goal, he would set off!

But where could he find any traces of volcanoes near Shadow Moon Base City?

Moreover, after the great calamity, countless terrain had undergone a huge change. Without satellite maps of the past, many of the maps were in the hands of the various large guilds.

Plus, what kind of base city would build their base next to a volcano?!

Volcanoes and the ocean were forbidden places for humans.

The danger levels were too high. These were all unknown territories, and the unknown meant danger.

Even though Su Yun had already become a martial grandmaster, he lacked a huge amount of survival experience!

The skills and techniques he learned to be able to temper all kinds of martials was not something Su Yun could gain in a short period of time.

Every martial grandmaster had been tempered through countless life and death battles.

The martial grandmasters had experienced countless storms before they could see the rainbow.

Compared to them, Su Yun was like a babbling child.

With this thought in mind.

He was even more determined to leave the base city to kill off fierce beasts!

Over a hundred years, he wanted to become a martial artist, but it was not for pure enjoyment.

Instead, he hoped that he could close the Spatial Rift, eliminate all the fierce beasts, and let mankind become the masters of the world once again!

Su Yun knew that as long as the fierce beasts were not eliminated, tragedy would always exist everyday!

He had never given up on the desire to eliminate all the fierce beasts.

In the past, he didn't have much strength, but now he has enough. If he did not do it now, he would be too old to do so!

Su Yun returned home and simply packed some daily necessities. Then, he immediately called his granddaughter, Su Youwei.

"Hello, Grandpa, what's the matter?! I'm still in class right now," Su Youwei replied in a low voice.

"I'm going out for a trip, maybe a month, maybe two months. In the meantime, I'll transfer 50,000 onto your card. Don't worry about me, I'm very well, take good care of your younger brother..." Su Yun instructed.

Su Youwei wanted to ask more questions, but she was interrupted by a text message notification.

After he was done speaking to Youwei, Su Yun called his grandson, Su Yuan.

"I'll transfer 2,000 alliance dollars to you. I'll be going on a trip for a while. And while I am gone, listen to your sister..."

Su Yuan didn't pay attention to the rest of Su Yun's words.

His eyes lit up when he heard the 2,000 alliance dollars.

He just assumed that his grandfather was going to cultivate in seclusion or to forge extraordinary weapons.

He heard about a lot of blacksmiths going out on expeditions like this before, so Su Yuan wasn't that worried.

However, what Su Yuan didn't take into account was that Su Yun had always been a blacksmith and had only forged weapons. He never had a need to go out.

After he settled everything with his two grandchildren, Su Yun made a series of preparations before leaving the city.

Su Youwei called many times to ask him what happened.

Under Su Youwei's urging, Su Yuan also called to ask about Su Yun's specific plans.

"It's nothing. I just need some time." There was no tension in Su Yun's tone.

"I'm very well. Nothing happened."

Facing the phone calls from his grandchildren, Su Yun felt gratified and happy at the same time.

My two grandchildren have grown up and now know how to care about others!

In the past, Su Yuan, that little bastard, only knew how to play around. This was the first time this child cared about him so much!

Seeing that everything was almost packed, Su Yun called a taxi.

"To the outskirts' bus station, please!" Su Yun said politely.

"Sir, are you sure you're going to the right place?! The outskirts' bus station? That's not a place for someone your age."

When the taxi driver saw that Su Yun was carrying a small bag as if he was preparing to leave the city, he kindly tried to talk him out of it.

"I have something to do, so I'll be back soon!" Su Yun could only patiently explain.

The taxi driver still looked at Su Yun with a hesitant look as he got into the backseat, but what else could he do? 

Then they set off to the outskirts' bus station!
