CHAPTER 379: CHAPTER 80: ENERGY

In the exclusive room, the sound of gnawing was constant. Bu Bu Wang had a meat bone in his mouth and had fully immersed himself in chewing it after gaining the complete sense of taste.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a piece of equipment in his hand, "Special Rope (Green)"

The "Scepter of Authority" had already been successfully sold for 8,000 Paradise coins, bringing Su Xiao’s assets to 37,890 Paradise coins.

The difficulty of selling the "Special Rope (Green)" was too high, leaving only two options: sell it to Reincarnation Paradise, or sacrifice it to the Demon’s Mark.

Su Xiao chose to sacrifice it to the Demon’s Mark. After the sacrifice, the level of the Demon’s Mark hadn’t changed, but it wasn’t far from Level 3.

Su Xiao had almost handled everything, except for Alchemical Potion Study, which was yet to be unlocked.

Alchemy Bomb Study had already been improved to the limit, with the two most powerful abilities being Special Level Alchemy Bomb and Sun God Apollo.

Su Xiao attempted to manufacture Sun God Apollo, wanting to know the cost of making one.

"Sun God Apollo: Requires 500 Mana Value for each production, needs Sun Remains, Fire Gold, and Soul Crystals (small)."

"Note: The Hunter lacks materials. Sun Remains and Fire Gold can be substituted with Paradise coins, costing 80,000 Paradise coins."

Seeing the cost of 80,000 Paradise coins, Su Xiao had a headache. The cost of Sun God Apollo was too high: 80,000 Paradise coins + Soul Crystals (small) ×1 + 500 Mana Value.

Abandoning the manufacture of Sun God Apollo, Su Xiao attempted to make Special Level Alchemy Bomb.

"Note: The Hunter lacks materials, requiring 300 Paradise coins."

Seeing the cost of manufacturing Special Level Alchemy Bomb, Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. At 300 Paradise coins per bomb, it was a bargain.

After closing the Alchemy Bomb Study, Su Xiao attempted to open Alchemical Potion Study.

"Note: Alchemical Potion Study is not unlocked."

"To unlock Alchemical Potion Study, Alchemy Bomb Study must reach Level 10 (achieved), and payment of Soul Crystals (small) ×1 + 10,000 Paradise coins is required."

Despite the high cost of unlocking Alchemical Potion Study, Su Xiao still chose to unlock it.

"You have successfully unlocked Alchemical Potion Study."

Level Two of Alchemy: Alchemical Potion Study Lv.1

1. Low-Level Alchemy Secret Medicine: Requires 120 Mana Value for each production, needs Green Glow Grass, Essence of Life, Pure Spring Water, Wanda Tree Fruit, Crystal Bottle.

...

Upon unlocking Alchemical Potion Study, Su Xiao tried to manufacture "Low-Level Alchemy Secret Medicine," costing 800 Paradise coins + 120 Mana Value.

Paradise coins were sufficient, but his Mana Value was running low. Previously, when learning the Power of the Demon, all his Mana Value was converted into Blue Steel Shadow energy.

The attributes of "Low-Level Alchemy Secret Medicine" were temporarily unknown. Based on Su Xiao’s guess, this potion should not be too weak.

The gains from Pirate World had been fully transformed into strength, and Su Xiao’s mind and body gradually relaxed.

With 27,890 Paradise coins left, Su Xiao left the exclusive room.

Before leaving the exclusive room, Su Xiao glanced at Bu Bu Wang, who was chewing on a bone. He planned to go to the Trial Field, and Bu Bu Wang didn’t need to accompany him.

But leaving Bu Bu Wang alone in the exclusive room, Su Xiao always felt a sense of unease.

"It should be... fine, right?"

Su Xiao left the exclusive room. A minute after he left, Bu Bu Wang finished the bone and looked around.

The owner was gone, which made Bu Bu Wang the boss of the exclusive room.

Bu Bu Wang looked around as if inspecting his territory, considering what to chew on next.

...

In the Trial Field.

Su Xiao sliced off the head of a metal puppet with one stroke, then reversed his long knife to stab another metal puppet.

Scattered around him were hundreds of broken puppets. He was engaged in Practical Training, and the metal puppets were endless.

He had lasted two hours under the attack of the puppet army, which he couldn’t have done before.

The improvement in Physical attributes had significantly boosted his endurance, and a healthy body allowed him to wield his knife more gracefully and freely.

He kicked away a puppet with one leg and then continuously slashed with his long knife, creating a web of blades.

Clang.

The blade flashed suddenly, slicing dozens of metal puppets in front of him into fragments, while Su Xiao remained in good condition.

Su Xiao’s strength wasn’t in his raw power or speed; his expertise was in technique.

Ending the Practical Training, he still had over 20,000 Paradise coins. Su Xiao showed a contemplative expression, needing only to keep 7,000 Paradise coins, with the rest he planned to use in the Trial Field.

Activating the Auxiliary Mode, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

"Auxiliary Mode has been chosen, please select the Summoned Mirror Image Level."

"Low-level Image" costs 100 Paradise coins per hour.

"Intermediate-level Image" costs 1,000 Paradise coins per hour.

"High-level Mirage" costs 10,000 Paradise coins per hour.

Su Xiao hesitated between summoning an Intermediate-level Image or a High-level Mirage.

After hesitating for a long time, Su Xiao chose to summon an Intermediate-level Image, and it was a specified summon.

"Intermediate-level Image has been chosen, specified character: Uchiha Sasuke."

"Please select the summoning time."

"Eighteen hours."

Su Xiao summoned Er Zhuzi because he intended to discuss weapon energy attachment with him.

Er Zhuzi had mentioned before that once Blue Steel Shadow energy became strong enough, it could develop other properties.

As light surged, Er Zhuzi’s image appeared.

At this time, Er Zhuzi had already been ’taken’ by Orochimaru, filled with vengeance, at the peak of his youthful pride.

"We meet again, it’s still the same topic as last time, weapon energy attachment."

Upon hearing Su Xiao’s words, Er Zhuzi nodded. At this time, Er Zhuzi was just a Mirror Image, and even at his most prideful, he would teach Su Xiao the knowledge he needed.

"That pure spiritual energy inside you is already quite strong. More importantly, you can already freely control that energy, which is the prerequisite for development."

Er Zhuzi drew the Grass Pheasant Sword from his waist, enveloping it with Thunder Attribute Chakra.

With Su Xiao’s current perspective, he immediately noticed the difference; Er Zhuzi’s method of controlling energy was very proficient, and the Thunder Attribute Chakra was enveloped in a way that was extremely balanced on the Grass Pheasant Sword.

"This is your current problem, uneven energy wrapping, but this is something you can overcome soon. The current issue is how to deeply develop the energy within you."

Er Zhuzi began to explain how he developed Thunder Attribute Chakra. Su Xiao listened attentively, and after a long while, he nodded.

"You borrowed the inherent cutting ability of lightning."

Su Xiao sat on the ground, with a contemplative expression.

"Yes, many people have developed Thunder Attribute Chakra, but I mainly focused on the sharp attributes of lightning."

Su Xiao meditated in silence while Er Zhuzi stood motionless without a word.

"If my perception isn’t wrong, the density of Blue Steel Shadow energy is dozens of times that of Thunder Attribute Chakra. Blue Steel Shadow energy tends to decompose other energies, which is quite problematic."

Blue Steel Shadow energy doesn’t inherently have a sharpness attribute, achieving this relies on Su Xiao’s intellect, or more precisely, his creativity.

How to make Blue Steel Shadow energy stronger was a deeply thought-provoking question.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Su Xiao’s mind.
