I can find treasures in my dreams.

"set off!"

Yang Donglin had just finished speaking.

The Sky Shuttle, suspended in mid-air, suddenly emitted a deep "humming" sound.

The emerald green light at the core of the crystal pillar surged, and the ripples in the surrounding space became increasingly dense, like boiling blue water waves, spreading outward in layers.

The Gobi Desert beneath their feet was instantly dyed a pure azure blue, with ripples spreading across the ground.

The originally hard stone surface has become like a calm lake, shimmering and sparkling, making it seem as if you are on the ocean.

Immediately afterwards, countless beams of condensed azure light refracted from the crystal pillar, rapidly intertwining and coalescing in front of everyone, eventually transforming into a "flying shuttle"-shaped phantom over ten meters long.

The shuttle has smooth lines, is made entirely of blue light, with a faint silver glow at the edges, and a long light strip trailing behind it, making it both agile and domineering.

Seeing this, the Moon Spirit Warrior Livin suddenly realized, "So that's why this crystal pillar is named 'Cloud-Piercing Shuttle'."

Yang Donglin took the lead and stepped steadily onto the flying shuttle phantom.

Others followed.

To Livin's surprise, the seemingly illusory shuttle actually had a real tactile feel, soft and comfortable underfoot, like stepping on a soft carpet.

She stared at the flying shuttle with curiosity for several days, and was deeply impressed by it.

"Woo——"

The Sky Shuttle emitted a long and strange hum, and the light strip at its tail suddenly lit up.

The azure "lake" beneath my feet rippled violently, and the surrounding Gobi Desert landscape seemed to be fast-forwarded, rapidly receding and disappearing.

next second.

The giant net of space-locking laws, composed of silver threads, reappeared, like a boundless silver ocean, blocking the way.

The shuttle transformed into a streak of light, rapidly flying through the gaps in the giant net of laws.

Silver threads swept past me at lightning speed, transforming into a surging silver torrent flowing backward. All I could hear was the howling wind and the buzzing of the laws, yet I felt no obstruction whatsoever.

In the time it takes to breathe, the shuttle suddenly came to a stop.

The giant net of the Locking Void Law receded like a tide, quickly dimming and disappearing into the void, and the familiar Gobi Desert scenery once again came into view.

The blue shuttle phantom gradually faded and eventually disappeared without a trace, and everyone's feet once again touched the hard, cold stone surface.

"It's done!"

Yang Donglin exclaimed with delight, "This time we exploited a loophole in the laws and successfully jumped 2,400 kilometers without being detected by the consciousness of the secret realm!"

He couldn't help but think to himself, "He truly is worthy of being called Dad!"

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Zhou Furui felt this particularly deeply. In the past few days, he had relied on his armor to travel during the day, but this time the space jump directly saved him several hours of arduous travel.

at this time.

Livin's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Master, it seems that a battle has broken out tens of kilometers ahead!"

Yang Donglin had anticipated this and smiled, "No need to be nervous. There's a group of stubborn stone generals over there hunting other creatures. We can just 'pick up the scraps'."

"Find a bargain?" Livin paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Master is going to actively seek out General Stubborn Stone to obtain more Brave Badges!
This thought instantly excited her.

She finally realized that this was the most correct, and also the most perverse, way to use the Skybreaker Shuttle!

Using spatial jump abilities, accurately locate and forcibly relocate targets, then quickly solve trials to obtain rewards.

This cycle repeats itself, and one's physical attributes can improve by leaps and bounds, making it much easier to become a knight.
as predicted.

Yang Donglin suddenly made a move.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a rich azure light emanated from the surface of his arm, causing ripples in the surrounding space to reappear.

Thin, silver threads emerged from his palm, extending into the distance as if they were alive, subtly resonating with the Law of Locking the Void.

"Come here!"

Yang Donglin suddenly exerted force, making a "pulling" motion with his arm.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar resounded, the ground beneath their feet trembled violently, and countless pebbles tumbled down.

More than twenty enormous stone worms, as if forcibly pulled out by an invisible hand, burst forth from the ground, bringing with them a cloud of dust, and instantly appeared before everyone.

They roared angrily, their mandibles flashing with cold light as they opened and closed, clearly enraged by this sudden spatial shift.

Livin was completely stunned.

She naturally understood that her master had used the spatial power of the Sky-Breaking Shuttle to forcibly move the Stubborn Stone General, who was dozens of kilometers away, to her immediate vicinity.

But she never expected that this crystal pillar could not only break through the lock-in law to bring people in from the outside world, but also conduct such precise long-distance target traction!

With this one move, the master's combat power increased by two levels, and he could choose the battlefield and control the enemy at will in the secret realm!
"awesome!"

Livin sincerely admired her.

"fighting!"

At Yang Donglin's command, he was the first to rush out.

This battle was a complete rout; with the spatial traction provided by the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, everyone held the absolute initiative.

With the experience gained from solving the previous trial, the mechanisms inside the four stubborn stone generals were activated one by one in just half a minute.

"Click! Click! Click!"

All the giant insects seemed to be paused, instantly freezing into stone sculptures. Then, dense cracks appeared on their bodies, and they shattered into countless fragments, scattering across the Gobi Desert.

In that instant, a faint light shone in front of each member of the team.

The light flickered for a moment, then transformed into a stone badge with a ferocious bone claw engraved on its surface, which slowly floated in mid-air.

Livin stared at the badge before her, and a message instantly flooded her mind: "[Brave Badge]: Using this badge will directly increase your Spirit by 10 points. Do you wish to use it immediately?"

Compared to the 20 spirit points reward received the first time, this reward has been reduced by half.

But the Moon Spirit Warrior was deeply shocked.

She finally realized the immense value of the Sky-Piercing Shuttle!
This is no longer a spatial treasure; it's clearly an "attribute harvester"!
By constantly locating and moving the Stubborn Stone General, one can acquire badges indefinitely and rapidly increase their strength. Such an incredible ability is simply unheard of!

"Brilliant!"

Wu Dingtian excitedly swore, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

He reached out and grabbed the badge, choosing to use it without hesitation. Feeling the increase in his physical strength, his eyes were filled with fervor: "My mental strength has reached 986 points. Maybe this time in the secret realm mission, I can break through the second barrier and advance to the rank of knight!"

Long Xingyun gripped his badge tightly, nodded emphatically, and grinned from ear to ear: "The probability is extremely high! I'm so glad I didn't impulsively refuse the mission from above. This is like a windfall!"

Livin turned to look at the two excited Azure Warriors, her silver-gray eyes filled with envy.

The cultivation of the Moon Spirit Civilization has always been gradual; they have never seen such a way to rapidly increase their strength.

dozens of kilometers away.

The four humanoid aliens looked completely bewildered.

They are all warrior-level fighters, and their appearance is highly distinctive. Their lower limbs are thick, powerful, dark brown hooves with thick, hard hoofplates, comparable to steel.

He wore a mottled black armor, its surface covered with scratches and gaps of varying depths, and many places were embedded with pebbles, clearly indicating that he had been through a fierce battle.

The four goat-hoof warriors were fighting desperately to break through the tidal wave of stone monsters.

But at this critical moment, something bizarre happened.

Suddenly, a strange pale blue ripple appeared on the ground, like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, spreading outwards in concentric circles.

The originally hard Gobi stone surface became soft and illusory, and more than twenty stubborn stone generals seemed to have suddenly fallen into the water, their huge bodies losing their support.

But this was still to no avail.

The pale blue ripples, like an invisible giant mouth, quickly swallowed them up.

soon.

The three stubborn stone generals sank completely into the ripples and disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation.

Without the command of the stubborn stone general, the tens of thousands of stone monsters slowed down and eventually froze in place, motionless.

Moments later, fine cracks appeared on their surfaces, like weathered rocks, turning them into piles of lifeless pebbles scattered across the Gobi Desert.

The battlefield fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of wind and sand howling.

The four sheep-hoofed aliens looked at each other, none of them understanding what had happened.

According to the rules of the secret realm, players who persevere to the next stage will undergo round after round of trials.

The trial of the stubborn stone general is the first round.

Each player has only one chance, and will receive a Brave Badge upon passing the trial.

In other words, you can only get one badge in the first round of trials.

In a sense, this is equivalent to a "quota".

The four alien races would never have imagined that a group of warriors from the Azure Civilization, relying on an unimaginable spatial treasure, successfully exploited a loophole in the laws of the secret realm, "stole" the reward quota that should have belonged to them, and obtained more Brave Badges.

*
Half an hour flies by.

Wu Dingtian's earlier prediction turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yang Donglin maneuvered the Sky-Breaking Shuttle, making three precise spatial jumps in succession, each time heading straight for General Wanshi's lair.

After three swift battles, each member of the team received three Brave Badges, bringing their total to four.

Without waiting even a second, Wu Dingtian immediately reached out and touched the stone surface of the badge.

A pale black mist burst forth from the badge, coiling around his arm like a living thing and quickly merging into his body through his pores.

"boom--!"

Wu Dingtian felt a surge of intense heat instantly sweep over his limbs and bones, and his mind became clear as if it were being refreshed by a clear spring.

The bronze mirror with the ghost head hanging beside him reflected Wu Dingtian's personal attributes.

Physical Strength: 1194

[Spirit value: 1002]

Long Xingyun glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Wu has broken through the threshold!"

Physical strength is nearly 200 points higher than mental strength. This is the most common attribute ratio among warriors of various civilizations, which is in line with the logic of conventional combat power.

Surprisingly, the mental value is something else entirely. Normally, once the mental value reaches 1000 points, it will be firmly blocked by an invisible "second barrier".

To improve even a little further, one would need to spend a huge amount of time refining the soul body, making the difficulty increase several times over.

However, the trace of law power contained in the Badge of Bravery completely ignored this barrier and forcefully pushed the spirit value to 1002 points!
An anomaly followed.

Wu Dingtian stood with his eyes closed, feeling the strange power surging within his body. His tone was filled with doubt and confusion: "Strange... why do I feel like there's an unfamiliar power gathering within me?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xingyun was taken aback, then, as if he had just realized something, he excitedly said, "Old Wu! Do you have the 'Yuan Gang Sensing Ring' with you? Quickly take it out and test it!"

Yuan Gang is the signature power of a knight, a qualitative transformation of Jin Gang after tempering.

The Yuan Gang Sensing Ring is a supernatural tool specifically designed to detect this kind of qualitative change in power.

This thing has a single function, but it is extremely difficult to manufacture. It requires three rare level-three materials, which ordinary newly developed civilizations simply do not have the power to produce.

When Yang Fan was promoted to knight, the Canglan civilization had just arrived and was extremely poor. They couldn't even make a Yuan Gang sensing ring, so they could only rely on Yang Fan's own perception to break through.

Now, twenty years later, the Canglan civilization has developed at an astonishing speed, its foundation has become increasingly profound, and in many fields it is comparable to an old civilization that has been around for hundreds of years. The Yuan Gang Sensing Ring can already be mass-produced.

Wu Dingtian snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I brought it!"

With a flick of his wrist, he produced a palm-sized, crystal-white ring.

A misty red fog swirled around the inner wall of the ring, its surface warm to the touch; it was indeed the Yuan Gang Sensing Ring.

Wu Dingtian gripped the sensing ring tightly with both hands, pouring all his internal energy into it.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the ring, and they even subconsciously lowered their breathing.

Everyone knows that if the sensing ring can truly detect Yuan Gang, what an astonishing breakthrough that would be!
It's important to know that breaking through 1000 points in spirit value is only the foundation for becoming a knight. The transformation from strong energy to primal energy requires a rare and serendipitous opportunity.

Some need months to hone their skills, some need years to wait, and a very few unlucky ones spend decades searching for the right opportunity, eventually their mental strength declines and falls below 1000 points, forever missing the threshold of becoming a knight.

After just a few seconds.

"Om-"

A deep humming sound emanated from the sensor ring.

The red mist flowing on the inner wall of the ring suddenly boiled, and then a very clear light green light emerged from the red mist, like a tender sprout breaking through the soil, slowly rising and falling in the red mist.

"Holy crap! Old Wu! You actually managed to condense Yuan Gang!"

Long Xingyun was so excited that he cursed, "You condensed it right after breaking through your spiritual value, that's simply defying the heavens!"

Wu Dingtian looked down at the pale green light in the sensing ring, his face filled with disbelief, and he cursed repeatedly: "Holy crap! Holy crap! It really is Yuan Gang?"

Livin was already stunned and stood frozen in place.

She understood the significance of this wisp of Yuan Gang better than anyone else—once a wisp of Yuan Gang was condensed, it was equivalent to opening the door to knighthood; all that was needed afterward was steady refinement, and eventually all the Jin Gang would be transformed into Yuan Gang.

The fact that the spirit value had just exceeded 1000 points and the Yuan Gang had been condensed instantly was an unprecedented miracle in the history of the Moon Spirit Civilization!
Livin glanced at Wu Dingtian and suddenly realized, "This is not because the Azure Warrior's talent is so extraordinary, but because the Brave Warrior's Badge contains a superb law power that can directly break through the second barrier and catalyze a qualitative change in the energy!"

The Moon Spirit Warrior stared at the badge before her, her beautiful silver-gray eyes filled with fervor.

If she uses these badges, could she also break through quickly and reach the level of a knight or even higher?
"Everyone."

Yang Donglin spoke at the right moment, his tone calm and steady, interrupting everyone's excitement, "We still have a mission to complete, and we don't have time to waste."

The moment they came into contact with the crystal pillar, they received an instruction from their father through a secret treasure—the Azure Civilization must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and use the power of the Brave Badge's laws to cultivate at least one hundred knights.

Because the consciousness of the secret realm is not an idiot, it will eventually discover the loophole in the law, and at that time, this shortcut to "farming badges" will most likely be patched.

Every minute of delay means that the Azure Civilization might lose one less knight.

Upon hearing this, Wu Dingtian instantly snapped out of his daze and exclaimed, "Yes, yes, yes! The mission is the priority!"

Long Xingyun nodded in agreement and shouted, "Hurry up and go farm badges!" (End of Chapter)
