Chapter 788: The Best Solution
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“When did you learn Spacetime Wing Blade Slash?” An Lingwu was taken aback.
She had never seen Wang Ye use it even once.
However, when he used it, it was even higher than her level!
No, although he had only used the first and second forms, the feeling he gave her…
Wang Ye had reached his peak!
“It’s been a while.” Wang Ye didn’t want to provoke her too much.
An Lingwu’s bright eyes looked over, her voice filled with shock. “But only upper-grade Sky race can exchange for Spacetime Wing Blade Slash. How long has it been since you advanced?!”
“Yes, it was when I made you my wife…” Wang Ye thought.
It had indeed not been long since he had advanced to a third-grade Sky race.
After that, he was recruited by Sharuth and became a second-grade Sky race.
“I’m a genius.” Wang Ye had already thought of an excuse.
How could a genius certified by Tianjia King be fake?
“You… Which stage have you reached?” An Lingwu stared at Wang Ye and asked cautiously, “Seventh stage? Eighth stage?”
“Make a bold guess.” Wang Ye said.
An Lingwu’s delicate body trembled as she blurted out. “Impossible!”
Wang Ye didn’t explain.
Impossible?
“I’ve even broken through the ninth stage, do you think that’s possible?” Wang Ye thought but refrain to say it.
How difficult was a mere high-level high-dimensional saber technique?
It was just getting started, and then… he reached the peak of cultivation.
No longer provoking the stunned Xiao Wu, Wang Ye directly devoured the internal cosmic of the three Dark race dimension lords.
This?
His internal world treasure, the Eon Disintegration Seal, was activated, accelerating the absorption of the Eon Disintegration Seal into three internal cosmics that were smaller than his own.
Full of energy and vitality, the compatibility was much higher than the Sky race!
“Good.” Wang Ye was delighted.
So the Dark races were treasures.
He opened his battle team badge and looked at the current rankings.
The number 6 battle team that he led was currently ranked fifth with 150 Sky merits.
“There are indeed many Dark races here.” Wang Ye could tell from the rankings.
Currently, Battle Team No. 2 had accumulated 500 Sky merits.
With the huge area of the high-dimensional battlefield and the Third Death Realm, it was evident that the ten battle teams on their side could encounter so many Dark races in such a short period.
“Currently, killing the Dark races is the same as obtaining the treasure of life in the first round of the treasure hunt mission. It’s five times.” Wang Ye calculated.
Low-grade High Dimension Lord had 10 Sky merits, so five times was equivalent to 50 Sky merits.
He had just killed two Level One and one Level Three experts, totaling 150 Sky merits.
For a medium-grade High Dimension Lord, it would be 100 Sky merits. Five times that would be 500 Sky merits.
“The energy of the Dark race’s High Dimension Lords is too formidable, even the medium-grade ones are difficult to kill.” Wang Ye understood.
High-grade Dark race dimensional lords could only be killed through willpower annihilation. Otherwise, their energy consumption would be too high to kill them.
Both high-dimensional races had their specialties, making them challenging to kill.
The Sky race excelled in innate control of spacetime, making them excellent at escaping.
The Dark race boasted intense energy and the strongest physical bodies.
For him…
The Sky race was still somewhat easier to kill.
“What’s this?” Wang Ye retrieved a crystal blue dodecahedron, brimming with energy, causing his eyes to sparkle.
“Blue glaze crystal,” Master Qingning explained, “It’s a rare and magical material.”
“What is it?” An Lingwu hadn’t seen it before.
Wang Ye explained, “In the Sky race, it’s used as a material for refining high-dimensional spiritual tools. For the Dark race, it can directly absorb and restore their energy because the blue glaze crystal itself is a perfect fusion of matter and energy.”
“You guys are so knowledgeable,” An Lingwu said enviously.
“I’ve seen it occasionally. I have some impression of it.” Master Qingning added, “But Wang Ye is truly well-versed. He knows the function of the blue glaze crystal like the back of his hand.”
“Yes, indeed,” An Lingwu said, filled with pride and joy upon hearing Master Qingning’s sincere praise for Wang Ye.
She was even happier than if she had been praised herself.
Wang Ye smiled.
His high-dimensional mining technique was second nature to him.
With a flash of light, eight blue glaze crystals appeared, causing the two women to look at Wang Ye in amazement.
“The price of blue glaze crystals is comparable to low-grade high-dimensional spiritual tools. These three low-grade High Dimension Lords don’t have the financial means to carry such consumption with them,” Wang Ye explained. “If I’m not mistaken, they likely obtained these through risky ventures into the high-dimensional battlefield.”
“So, you mean the area we’re in is rich in blue glaze crystals?” An Lingwu asked astutely.
“Yes.” Wang Ye confirmed. “We’re currently in the Blue Glaze Region of the Third Death Realm.”
An Lingwu showed excitement. “Knowing the encampment location and the regional path is great! The mission will surely be successful!”
Wang Ye nodded in agreement.
Thanks to Shakima’s information, the start was relatively smooth, especially with the detailed information provided by the golden compass he had exchanged for tens of thousands of Sky merits.
It not only contained a complete map of the Blue Glaze Region but also recorded 90% of the Third Death Realm, proving useful for future missions.
“Can you determine the direction and location of the encampment?” Master Qingning inquired.
“I should be able to,” Wang Ye replied. “There’s a Sky race encampment in the Blue Glaze Region with an attached teleportation array. I believe that’s where Lu Nai is.”
“And where are we?” Master Qingning pressed for clarification.
“I can make an educated guess.” Wang Ye replied.
“The encampment’s south side stretches into an endless wilderness, where a unique cosmic wave bathed in blue light not only spawns numerous blue glaze crystals but also attracts a plethora of fierce beasts.”
“The southern area harbors the richest deposits of blue glaze crystals, enticing many Dark race elites to take risks.”
“If we continue straight ahead, we’ll encounter consecutive waves of fierce beasts and Dark race entities. And if luck isn’t on our side, we might stumble into the blue cosmic waves…”
“Resulting in our souls being directly shattered.”
An Lingwu sighed in agreement, patting her chest reassuringly. “Thankfully, we discovered this early.”
Master Qingning added softly, “However, there are two sides to every coin. Danger accompanies opportunity. Crossing the wilderness not only shortens the journey but also allows us to hunt fierce beasts and Dark race entities, earning us substantial Sky merit points.”
“Yes,” Wang Ye affirmed. “A decision needs to be made.”
“And how do you intend to choose?” Master Qingning inquired, her gaze focused.
Wang Ye smiled.
…
Team No. 2, riding ahead effortlessly.
Sajee, with her golden locks and refined smile, showed no mercy in his killings.
On the path through the wilderness, more Dark race corpses appeared.
“Commander, something’s amiss,” Sindy spoke up. “We’ve encountered two waves of fierce beasts and two waves of Dark race entities along the way. At this rate, we might not even reach the encampment…”
“I’m here,” Sajee reassured, casually adjusting his bangs.
“But, Commander, couldn’t we choose a safer path?” Sindy hesitated.
Sajee smiled a glint of determination in his eyes. “Are you teaching me how to do my job?”
“No, no,” Sindy hurriedly backtracked. “We’re just confused why, despite knowing the risks, you’re still heading straight into danger.”
“Of course, this is because of Sky merit,” Sajee explained. “In high-dimensional battlefield missions, our primary focus is on eliminating Dark race entities. There’s no need to take unnecessary detours. As long as we eliminate enough Dark race entities, victory is assured. If you can’t handle it, then stay behind me. I alone am sufficient.”
…
“Sister Xia, are we being too cautious?” Hai Ruyi questioned. “We’re currently second from the bottom in Sky merit.”
“Indeed, Ludi. Weren’t some of the routes you planned relatively close?” Loren chimed in. “Encountering a few Dark race entities wouldn’t hurt and could even boost our Sky merit.”
“There’s a 30% to 50% chance of unforeseen accidents.” Xia Ludi’s voice was gentle. “Compared to other teams, our combat prowess is lacking. Preserving our strength at this stage is the optimal solution.”
“In choosing this path, there’s a 30% chance of securing first place and the first choice.”
“A 40% chance of second place, and 30% chance of third.”
“Regardless, we’ll be among the top three.”
“Following the mission guidelines provided by the road battle team’s commander, ensuring our safe return to the encampment swiftly is the correct course of action.”
“Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to eliminate Dark race entities in the future.”
..
Nine battle teams, nine different paths.
They were all elite teams, each with their ideas.
Wang Ye chose…
Crossing!
However, not a complete crossing.
Instead, it was to skirt the core of the desolate region affected by the blue cosmic wave.
Because to him, this could be a fatal threat.
As for the Dark race and beasts, they were not.
Though completely avoiding the wilderness would be safe, the journey was too far and yielded no Sky merit.
It didn’t align with efficiency.
Fight and move!
He had to fight steadily and maintain his position at the forefront of Sky merit!
Wang Ye employed the same strategy as in the treasure hunt mission.
If he fell behind in the first mission, he would take the risk and cross directly now.
But if he was in the lead, he would choose the path most suitable for him.
The optimal solution.
Chi!
Wang Ye wielded the sacred blood blade, exuding unmatched dominance.
His already formidable close-combat prowess was further bolstered by his saber technique!
Though lacking the thrill of tearing apart, his attacks flowed smoothly like water.
Especially with the wings on his back, it was as if he had an extra pair of arms, not falling short even against the four-armed Dark race!
Who hasn’t?
The third form, Illusion Light Slash!
Time rapidly shifted, and space distorted and compressed.
Wang Ye’s sharp wings and hands transformed into countless illusionary lights, exploding simultaneously!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The dragon bright thunder burst with even more intensity!
The dark-skinned, medium-grade Dark race dimension lord with the upper limit of a Venerate struggled to withstand the assault!
But it was evident he was on his last legs, soon overwhelmed.
Faced with Wang Ye’s overwhelming onslaught, even the Dark race, known for their close combat and physical prowess, paled in comparison.
Boom!
The intermediate realm demon core was forcibly obliterated!
500 Sky merit, obtained!
“I’m finally in the top three,” Wang Ye said with a satisfied smile.
Not bad, this was the tempo.
Master Qingning and An Lingwu exchanged glances, clearly seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
It wasn’t a mirage, it was real.
One match might be explosive, but two or three matches were certain.
The current Wang Ye was exceptionally strong!
Compared to the first treasure hunt mission, his combat prowess had more than doubled!
This rate of improvement was terrifying!
It had only been ten years!
How did he do it?
Truly…
He was an unparalleled super genius!
“Oh?” Wang Ye’s eyes lit up as he counted his spoils, then looked into the distance.
There was quite a commotion ahead.
It seemed they had encountered another battle team.
Who was so in sync with him, choosing the same path?
“Let’s go take a look,” Wang Ye said with a smile.
