This beast possesses a thin Phoenix bloodline and can fly at an extremely fast speed.

The Purple Cloud Wing, derived from it, has inherited its speed.

Su Yun is currently only a Five-Star Martial Practitioner, and if he were to fully activate it, he would inevitably deplete his Martial Qi in a short time.

But that's enough. The Purple Cloud Wing's short burst of speed, combined with the ability to instantly enter the System Space.

It ensures that the System Space remains undiscovered and reduces the risk of being ambushed on the spot.

He had such concerns before.

The System Space is a good means of self-preservation, but using it too often will eventually leak information and invite targeted attacks.

The arrival of the Purple Cloud Wing has alleviated such concerns.

The strongest in the Jia Ma Empire is only a Martial Emperor, and the full-speed Purple Cloud Wing is even faster than a Martial King.

As long as it's not a Martial Emperor chasing him, he can escape using the Purple Cloud Wing and the System Space.

Did you not see in the Tallgor Great Desert, Xiao Yan, with the cultivation of a Martial Master, could still use the Purple Cloud Wing to match the speed of three Martial Kings?

With the Old Medicine's enhancement and full activation, only Yun Yun, a Wind-attribute Martial Emperor, could catch up by using a Body Movement Martial Art.

Of course, if someone like Yun Shan, a super-standard Zong Fighter, appeared, he could only find a cover and then directly enter the System Space.

Su Yun calmed his mind and stopped indulging in the power of the Purple Cloud Wing.

He placed his palms on the scroll, gently pressing the soft wings, and took a deep breath.

After his palms touched the wings for a while, the violent Eagle Soul suddenly let out a sharp cry that shook his soul. The cry passed through the scroll and, like a drill, fiercely impacted his brain through his arm.

Su Yun's body trembled violently, his face turning pale.

Su Yun gritted his teeth and held on, maintaining his focus.

He was born from the Blue Star, naturally possessing a powerful soul. If Xiao Yan could do it, there was no reason he couldn't.

He used his soul power to resist the Eagle Soul's attack.

Finally, after nearly twenty minutes, the Eagle Soul dissipated.

"Phew…

A Fifth-Rank remnant soul, terrifying indeed!"

Su Yun sighed.

After a short rest, he placed his palms on the eagle wings again.

This time, the Eagle Soul had already dissipated, and he was no longer attacked.

Su Yun slowly circulated his Martial Qi through the channels described in the scroll.

A moment later, two thin purple-black lights drilled into Su Yun's body, running through his meridians. When they reached the meridians on his spine, they stopped and pulled out two extremely fine branches.

These two branches extended from the main meridians and slowly stopped when they reached his spine.

A pair of palm-sized black eagle wings appeared on Su Yun's back.

"Success!" Su Yun exclaimed joyfully.

Although the process was painful, the result was gratifying.

Su Yun circulated his Martial Qi through the two branched meridians.

Upon receiving the flow of Martial Qi, the black tattoo immediately emitted a faint purple light and transformed into a pair of substantial wings. The area of the black eagle wings expanded from palm-sized to about half a foot.

Looking at the Purple Cloud Wing that appeared behind him, Su Yun felt a sense of satisfaction.

Su Yun retracted the Purple Cloud Wing and did not continue to experiment. After tidying up, he returned to the inn. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.

Now was not the time to rest; the strength of a Five-Star Martial Practitioner was far from enough.

---

"Feels great!"

Su Yun jumped out of bed, twisted his neck, and heard a series of crisp bone-cracking sounds.

He clenched his hands slightly, feeling a surge of strength that brought a smile to his lips.

He had broken through!

"Now I'm a Six-Star Fighter."

Su Yun smiled to himself.

Cultivating Martial Qi is not easy. He did not have any powerful shortcuts, so he could only advance step by step.

The dramatic growth from role-playing and signing in was not for him.

Constant improvement is the norm.

Su Yun calmed his joy and reviewed his gains.

He did not plan to cultivate the Roar of the Rampant Lion. The Old Medicine had many fighting techniques, and this one was not particularly special.

Su Yun focused on the Seven-Color Poison Scripture, which could be useful to him.

The Old Medicine was indeed knowledgeable, especially in oddities and common knowledge about the continent. However, the Seven-Color Poison Scripture was far more detailed in these areas.

The Old Medicine was a bit of a lecher, but he was straightforward and upright. His knowledge of poisons was limited.

Born into the Medicine Clan, his starting point was high. Even when he was expelled from the Medicine Clan, he had the strength of a Three-Star Martial Master. Later, his cultivation advanced rapidly.

He did not study low-level poisons, and while he could detoxify, he could not formulate low-level poisons.

Su Yun had no background, did not consider himself a bad person, but also did not want to be a good person.

Good people don't live long!

Su Yun tapped the Seven-Color Poison Scripture and then tapped himself.

"System, merge."

"Ding, detected a merge option."

"Ding, one first-rank magic core is required. Merge?"

"Merge."

As soon as Su Yun said merge, a first-rank magic core in the system warehouse disappeared, and a mysterious feeling surged in Su Yun's heart.

In a short time, Su Yun completely mastered the content of the Seven-Color Poison Scripture.

Su Yun's understanding of the system deepened over time.

The system, though simple in function, held infinite possibilities.

Its effectiveness depended entirely on how the user utilized it.

This new function could also be applied to fighting techniques, but the cost in magic cores was not as simple.

Non-ranked miscellaneous books consume one first-rank magic core.

Low and mid-rank Yellow-Class techniques consume one first-rank magic core.

High-rank Yellow-Class techniques consume one second-rank magic core.

Low and mid-rank Black-Class techniques consume one third-rank magic core.

High-rank Black-Class techniques consume one fourth-rank magic core.

Low and mid-rank Earth-Class techniques consume one fifth-rank magic core.

As for higher ranks, it was unknown.

Earth-Class techniques were extremely rare, as evidenced by the Old Medicine's choice between a low-rank Earth-Class technique and the Burning Decree in the original story.

Even in the Central Region, Earth-Class techniques were scarce.

When Su Yun discovered this function, he was overjoyed, but seeing that high-rank Black-Class techniques required a fourth-rank magic core almost made him spit blood.

Poor Su Yun, he had only cultivated the Eightfold Collapse to the second layer of Hidden Force.

But that was still quite good.

The Eightfold Collapse was unique. Its overt explosive power alone could rival a mid-rank Black-Class technique.

This was evident in the original story.

When Xiao Yan first met Liu Xi, Jia Lie Ao challenged Xiao Yan to stand out. At that time, Xiao Yan had shed his reputation as a waste and, with the Old Medicine's help, greatly improved his cultivation. Liu Xi and Jia Lie Ao both lusted after Xiao Xun'er.

Xiao Yan naturally accepted the challenge and fought on the spot.

Jia Lie Ao had average talent but was older; Xiao Yan, on the other hand, was a prodigy, the chosen one.

Coincidentally, both were Three-Star Fighters. At the time, Xiao Yan had not yet cultivated the Hidden Force of the Eightfold Collapse and only relied on its overt explosive power to match Jia Lie Ao's mid-rank Black-Class technique, yet he won.

More astonishingly, Xiao Yan's Burning Decree had not yet evolved and was only a low-rank Yellow-Class technique.

Jia Lie Ao cultivated the high-rank Black-Class technique Wind Scroll Decree and used the Green Wind Spiral Fist, a low-rank Black-Class technique that complemented the Wind Scroll Decree.

Techniques that complemented a cultivation method were generally stronger than techniques of the same rank. Jia Lie Ao's Wind Scroll Decree and Green Wind Spiral Fist, while not reaching mid-rank Black-Class, were definitely stronger than low-rank Black-Class.

The Burning Decree had the characteristic of transcending ranks, but at the time, it was only a low-rank Yellow-Class technique, at best equivalent to a mid-rank Yellow-Class, far from a high-rank Black-Class.

Xiao Yan's victory in a battle of equals, despite the disadvantage in cultivation method, was due to the Eightfold Collapse.

Even with only its overt explosive power, the Eightfold Collapse's strength was comparable to a mid-rank Black-Class technique, and perhaps even surpassed it.

At the very least, it was on par with a mid-rank Black-Class technique that complemented a cultivation method.

Once he cultivated one layer of Hidden Force, it would live up to the name of a high-rank Black-Class technique.

To match a low-rank Earth-Class technique, all eight layers of Hidden Force must be cultivated.

Earth-Class techniques were not something that could be transcended easily; they were already a different level.
