Chapter 202: Source Skill Level, Three Star Mission (6k)

"Chu Mu wins——"

As Lei Hongfeng's elongated voice echoed throughout the stadium, the huge open-air training ground suddenly fell into dead silence.

The students stared in amazement at the knife that Chu Mu held against Constantine's neck, feeling somewhat unprepared.

From Chu Mu's stealth and use of his killing move, Constantine's use of his source skills to block it without any injury, to Chu Mu's simple tap on Constantine's shoulder, causing the invulnerable source skills to collapse, everything happened in an instant.

To the extent that the students present even had a sense of awe.

It was clearly a battle on the same level as theirs, but they couldn't understand it at all.

Of course, there were also those who understood. The group of instructors standing outside the students looked at Chu Mu with a somewhat strange look.

This kid... has a lot of source skills.

Can a star beast have so many abilities?
Because there are too few research samples on source skills, they really have no way to be sure. Even whether the method used by Chu Mu belongs to source skills needs to be questioned.

Everyone has his or her own opportunities, especially geniuses.

The Beidou training camp is a place where geniuses gather. There are many people with special qualities like Chu Mu. Naturally, the teachers will not dig into every one of them. But at this moment, in the hearts of the teachers who did not think highly of Chu Mu because of the power of the star beast, Chu Mu's position has become different.

No matter what, being able to defeat Constantine is a manifestation of ability.

On the stage, until Chu Mu put the knife back into the sheath, Constantine still maintained his original posture, as if petrified and did not move for a long time.

Just when Chu Mu thought that Constantine acted like this because he couldn't accept his own failure, Constantine suddenly looked at Chu Mu.

"That practice room, is it like that because of you?"

Chu Mu nodded.

So Constantine smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that everything was my misunderstanding."

He slowly stood up, walked down the stage in disappointment and left.

After feeling Chu Mu's method of instantly devouring his source power at the last moment, Constantine had this association.

He had never known how a C9-level training room could have such an outrageous concentration of cosmic energy, and thought the room was malfunctioning, but he finally found the answer.

As a result, he, who had always thought that he was on the side of reason, became the unreasonable party.

It’s really…

Constantine raised his hand and transferred another 100 secret weapon points to Chu Mu.

Just consider it as a thank you and apology.

"This guy..." Chu Mu, who received the reminder first, looked at Constantine's departing back, feeling a little amused and helpless for a moment.

Forget it, he just happened to be short of resources, so he won’t be polite to the big guys.

Originally, his secret weapon points were only in the double digits, but after getting 200 from Constantine, he had a lot more.

Using camp points and seven-star points to exchange for resources, skills, etc. in the camp is more favorable than using secret weapon points.

However, camp points require completing difficult tasks and are not so easy to obtain. When you urgently need to redeem but do not have enough camp points, you can only use secret weapon points to redeem them outside.

This is within the campground's permitted range.

As Chu Mu walked off the stage, his companions who were waiting in the audience quickly came up to him.

"Chu Mu, your strength is improving too fast." Song Yan said with a smile, "If I don't work harder, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up."

"Yeah." Yu Qianqian sighed softly. As someone who knew Chu Mu before the initial screening, she had the most say in this matter. "What a pervert."

"Where is Brother Biao?" Chu Mu looked around and found that Lin Changfeng was not there, so he asked curiously.

"He was hit by you and went to train on his own." Xu Yuncan spread his hands, "It's time for me to leave too."

"If you don't break through the Soaring Realm, I will be embarrassed to do missions with you guys."

"Let's have a fight when we have time." Lepani held the sword with a serious look on his face.

Now he has no interest in Constantine, but has developed a great interest in Chu Mu.

“…definitely next time.” Chu Mu’s mouth twitched.

The students around gradually dispersed, and many of them took the initiative to greet Chu Mu and asked him for his contact information.

The battle just now made them realize that a genius who they had not paid attention to before was gradually rising, so they naturally wanted to get to know him.

Of course Chu Mu would not refuse this.

More friends mean more paths, and no one understands socializing better than him.

When everything was done, Chu Mu turned and walked towards the Treasure Pavilion.

He has been adapting to his new strength after breaking through the second level of the Void Realm these past two days, and now it's time to do something else.

Half of the 200 camp points awarded previously are still left.

Walking into the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Mu turned his head to look at the stairs leading to the third floor.

To enter the third level, he needs to accumulate 500 camp points. He really wants to see what treasures can be exchanged on the third level, but unfortunately he is not qualified yet.

Fortunately, everything he needs at this stage can be found on the second floor.

First, it is the subsequent skills of "The Unparalleled Nine Swords".

After successfully mastering the third sword of "Nine Unparalleled Swords", Yue Zhu Jing Tian, ​​Chu Mu mastered all the sword techniques in the Tengkong Realm stage.

But this does not mean that he cannot try the fourth sword first before reaching the realm of all things. After all, when he was still in the realm of source, he had already mastered the first sword, and it is the same now.

It's just a little more difficult to master.

The fourth sword move requires 40 secret weapon points to redeem, and the price for redeeming at the camp is 25 seven-star points + 5 camp points.

However, the corresponding analysis and guidance materials are much more expensive than the sword skills themselves.

After spending a total of 20 camp points and several seven-star points, Chu Mu finally exchanged everything he needed to comprehend the fourth sword.

This fourth knife involves the fourth-level martial arts spirituality, and it also has a certain guiding role in Chu Mu's skill improvement, so it is not a loss.

In addition, there is the body movement.

Previously at Longquan Martial Arts University, Qin Yu had taught Chu Mu the first two moves of the advanced body movement "Guiyunbu", which was the part about the soaring state.

Chu Mu had already mastered the second style of Floating Cloud, and now after a lot of actual combat, he had fully applied it in battle.

But the next body movement does not necessarily have to continue to exchange for "Guiyun Bu".

Chu Mu and Qin Yu have always kept in touch. Qin Yu once told him that after the third step of "Guiyun Bu", it becomes extremely light and ethereal.

The sword is a domineering weapon, and this kind of footwork is incompatible with it, so continuing to learn the "Guiyun Step" will not be of much benefit to Chu Mu.

With the first two moves laying the foundation for your body movements, you can then move on to other body movements.

As for the physical skills that you want to change to, Qin Yu also has recommendations.

"Teacher Liu, I want to exchange for the 'Heavenly Steps'." Chu Mu pointed to a body movement technique displayed in the second-floor technique area, "I'll exchange for the first three moves first, and also a copy of the corresponding instructional materials."

"You're quite good at choosing." Liu Xuan found it out with a smile, copied it, and handed it to Chu Mu on a small memory chip. "A total of 200 seven-star points and 40 camp points."

"So expensive?" Chu Mu was shocked.

"Body skills are generally more expensive than weapon skills." Liu Xuan explained, "And the 'Heavenly Steps' is not only a body skill, but also a secret technique. You should have known about it before choosing it, so I don't need to tell you."

Chu Mu nodded.

The "Treading Heavenly Steps", also known as the "Treading Heavenly Nine Steps", has nine moves, each move has nine steps, for a total of ninety-nine steps.

Every time a star warrior completes all nine steps in this move, his energy and spirit will instantly rise to the peak, repeating over and over again.

Therefore, it is not only a physical technique, but also a secret technique.

With such a special skill, the price will naturally go up.

"Changed!" Chu Mu gritted his teeth and swiped the card.

As a result, his camp points were reduced to only 40.

His body movements and techniques were updated, but the secret technique "Nine-Layered Mountain" that he had mastered before did not need to be replaced. Chu Mu did not need any other techniques or secret techniques for the time being, so he left the technique area and headed for the resource area.

"Would you like to exchange for some cosmic treasures?" Liu Xuan asked with a smile, "With your remaining camp points, you can exchange for three or four items."

Chu Mu was actually somewhat tempted.

The mantis has eaten a lot of cosmic treasures, but he has never eaten this before.

The only time he came into contact with a cosmic treasure was when he exchanged it for his mother's medical treatment.

"Teacher Liu, do you have any recommendations?" Chu Mu asked honestly.

The cosmic treasures touched upon his blind spots in knowledge.

He had no idea what to eat or how to eat it.

"You have just broken through to the second level of the Soaring Realm?" Liu Xuan glanced at Chu Mu and walked to one of the counters. "Take a look at this."

Chu Mu hurried to catch up and saw a crescent-shaped crystal placed in a wooden box on the counter. It looked like jewelry, but it contained amazing cosmic energy.

There is corresponding introduction text below the crystal.

[D7-level cosmic treasure, Moon Heart Essence, carried with you during meditation practice, can slowly absorb the cosmic energy to increase your source power, suitable for consolidation after breaking through the realm, and has a strengthening effect on a few source skills. ]

[Price: 105 Seven Star Points + 15 Camp Points / 120 Camp Points]

"Consolidate the realm and strengthen the source skills?" A look of surprise appeared in Chu Mu's eyes.

"Don't get excited." Liu Xuan coughed lightly, "You can just pretend that this enhanced source skill has no effect."

"Because so far, there have only been two cases of strengthening the source skills during the absorption process, and the pattern has not been found yet."

"Oh..." Chu Mu was a little disappointed, but then he thought, even if it was just to consolidate his realm and increase his source power, the Moon Heart Essence was already very good.

Star warriors are not star beasts, and their evolution cannot be improved by swallowing any cosmic treasures. Only a small portion of resources are specifically used to improve their cultivation, and the rest have their own uses.

"Changed!" Chu Mu took it without hesitation.

Liu Xuan took out the Moon Heart Essence and handed it to Chu Mu, then walked to another counter, "And this, you can also take a look."

Chu Mu put away the Moon Heart Essence and walked quickly forward. His pupils shrank slightly after seeing what was placed on the counter.

It was a fruit with a red halo all around it, and it was kept in a jade box along with its branches and leaves.

The moment he saw it, Chu Mu's mind was shaken.

Because this fruit was the one that the mantis had once devoured, and it was the fruit that gave the mantis clear vision!

[D7-level cosmic treasure, Red Bright Fruit, has the effect of enhancing vision. If you have visual source skills, there is a greater probability that they will be strengthened and amplified. ]

[Price: 105 Seven Star Points + 15 Camp Points / 120 Camp Points]

"This should be suitable for you." Liu Xuan smiled slightly. The instructors in the training camp had their own guesses about Chu Mu's situation, but no one doubted that Chu Mu mastered the visual source skills.

"Yes!" Chu Mu nodded heavily, with an expectant look in his eyes, "I've changed this one too."

Chu Mu immediately exchanged the remaining 10 secret weapon points to leave himself some room in case he needed the points.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Chu Mu immediately went to the wormhole research laboratory where Song Wenchang was and found Song Wenchang who was busy with research.

"You want to exchange for the civilization deciphering data of the Shenxuan Star Alliance, right?" Song Wenchang smiled when he learned the purpose of Chu Mu's visit. "It's ready."

"A total of 30 secret weapon points."

"I've transferred it to you." Chu Mu completed the transfer and couldn't help but pick up the decrypted data. "Thank you so much, teacher."

With these, he could understand what was written on the back of the token he obtained in Xingyuan.

"It's rare to have students interested in these things." Song Wenchang smiled and shook his head, "But I feel that you are not here just for this."

"Well, I would also like to ask for some knowledge about source technology." Chu Mu asked seriously.

Hearing this, Song Wenchang's expression became a little more serious.

"Source technology is the field with the least research results in the alliance. The reason for the least research results is not because of the low investment."

"It's because there are too many types of source skills."

"Up to now, we have never seen two identical source skills. Source power characteristics can be divided into three major categories, but source skills are difficult to classify and vary widely."

"The only thing we can be sure of at the moment is one thing."

"Source skills are the abilities of the star beasts that extract source blood."

"But it's not easy to select some source blood with better source skills." Song Wenchang shook his head slightly, "You have also experienced the destruction of wormholes."

Chu Mu couldn't help but nodded.

The process of destroying the wormhole is like a meat grinder. Many star beasts are killed in seconds as soon as they show their heads. Who knows what capabilities they have.

These star beasts are used to extract source blood, so what source skills they can obtain is naturally like buying a lottery ticket, all depends on luck.

but…

Chu Mu could vaguely guess that there should be some special channels of source blood within the alliance, which could determine the source skills contained in advance.

But there is very little such source blood.

"In addition to the fact that the source of source skills is irregular, the improvement of source skills is also irregular." Song Wenchang changed the subject and said, "For some source skills, every time you improve a small realm in the Soaring Realm, they will be strengthened once."

"For some source skills, the improvement depends on the amount of source power injected."

Chu Mu's heart moved.

This was exactly what he was wondering about, and it was also what he wanted to know from Song Wenchang.

"Generally speaking, we call the source skills that are enhanced with the realm the main source skills, and the other is the auxiliary source skills." Song Wenchang paused slightly. "Star warriors who absorb the middle third level source blood have one main source skill, and star warriors who absorb the upper third level source blood have two."

"As for the number of auxiliary source skills, it may be a lot." Song Wenchang smiled strangely, "The one with the most auxiliary source skills in the history of the alliance has as many as five. That was a star warrior who absorbed first-class source blood. All the source skills added up to a total of seven."

7 source skills.

Chu Mu showed a look of amazement.

Each source skill is equivalent to a special ability. A star warrior with seven source skills is enough to crush his opponent with his elusive source skills, even if he is the same as his opponent in other aspects.

"Each main source skill can be upgraded nine times, from the first level of the Soaring Realm to the ninth level of the Soaring Realm, and it is upgraded once every level. When it reaches the Ten Thousand Things Realm, it is completely finalized." Song Wenchang paused, "The number of times the auxiliary source skills can be upgraded varies. Some are only two or three times, and some are more."

"But there has never been more than nine."

“So, we generally define the improvement of source skills as the same as the minor realm of the Soaring Realm, which is the ninth transformation.”

"A few times of improvement means a few more transformations of the source skills."

Chu Mu nodded in understanding.

This statement sounds better than his first few gears.

According to Song Wenchang, his main research area was not the source technology after all, and he was not very clear about the other contents of the source technology.

So after exchanging a few words, Chu Mu took the initiative to say goodbye.

After returning to the dormitory, Chu Mu took out the Chi Ming Fruit and stared at the red halo flowing on it.

After listening to Song Wenchang's introduction, he had some ideas in his mind.

According to Song Wenchang, the main source skill should be the ability gained by the star beast in the two major breakthroughs from the third level to the fourth level, and from the sixth level to the seventh level.

Auxiliary skills are abilities that star beasts gain by devouring cosmic treasures when they advance.

Not every star beast can guarantee to devour cosmic treasures when advancing, so the number of auxiliary source skills varies.

As for the upper limit of the number of times the auxiliary source skills can be upgraded...

In Chu Mu's opinion, this might be related to the amount of cosmic treasures that have been devoured.

After a star beast devours a cosmic treasure and gains a new ability, it can continue to strengthen this ability by devouring the same treasure again.

The more you devour, the stronger your ability will be, and the higher the upper limit should be.

If the mantis continues to devour the three fruits that grant clear vision, stealth, and burst, will the upper limit of its source skills continue to increase?
Chu Mu felt that this was very likely to be true.

However, for him, it is good enough to find a mature cosmic treasure at this stage. There is no room for pick and choose. It is too difficult to find a specific cosmic treasure.

After I become stronger, recruit more beast soldiers, and let the Mantis Kingdom occupy more territory, maybe I can give it a try.

As for now…

Let’s first take a look at how the human body’s absorption of cosmic treasures improves its source skills.

Swallow and activate!
The Red Ming Fruit trembled violently, and then the vast cosmic energy poured into Chu Mu's body.

These cosmic energies did not strengthen his source power. The moment they entered the Qi Sea, they seemed to be summoned by something and rushed madly towards the red stars above the Qi Sea.

Chu Mu's pupils turned red the next moment, and his source skills were automatically activated uncontrollably and began to improve from the initial state.

With a turn, your eyesight improves.

Second turn, transparent vision.

"boom!!!"

It was as if something suddenly exploded in his mind, and the red color in Chu Mu's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Chu Mu summoned an object casually and threw it into the air, letting it fall naturally.

In his vision, everything seemed to slow down ten or a hundred times, and the texture and details of the falling objects were clearly visible as they changed over time.

Is this the effect of the third-level source skill?
Slow down time?

No, it’s to accelerate your dynamic perception!
With this ability, even in a rapidly changing battle, one can instantly understand all the moves and counter them.

Combined with "Eighteen Manifolds", it is simply invincible.

Chu Mu's heart was trembling, and he felt extremely excited.

But in the next moment, the state of the third turn fell back to the second turn stage.

Ah, this...temporary?

Chu Mu blinked and looked at the Chi Ming Fruit that had disappeared in his hand.

If absorbing one can only temporarily improve your source skill by one level, that would be too much of a loss, right?
wrong.

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows, and a look of joy appeared on his face again.

He felt that the source power consumed by the first and second turns was significantly reduced, and the distance between him and the third turn of transparent vision was also shortened a lot.

Originally, the Qi Sea needed to be filled up again before there would be a chance, but now it only needs to be increased to about 100 before you can try to open it.

It seems that when a human body devours the same cosmic treasure, just like a star beast's body devours it, it can increase the upper limit of the source skill!
A smile appeared on Chu Mu's face.

This way, he had another route to advancement.

When advancing in the Star Abyss, you will devour cosmic treasures to gain new source skills. Look for the same cosmic treasures in the universe and devour them to increase the upper limit of your source skills.

It is difficult for others to do this because they have no idea what the star beast from which they extracted the source blood had swallowed, so they need to try one by one.

But Chu Mu didn't need it.

He picked up the Moon Heart Essence with one hand and began to devour it using the Devouring Source Technique again. With the other hand, he turned on the communicator and began to search through the list of cosmic treasures.

By the time the Moon Heart Marrow turned into dust, Chu Mu's source power increased from seventy to eighty, and the cosmic treasures corresponding to concealment and explosion were also found.

The yellow fruit that the mantis beast devoured when it broke through the fourth level and gained the ability to hide is the Youying Fruit, a D8-level cosmic treasure. When ripe, it will emit an astonishing fragrance and fluctuations, but it can enhance the star warrior's ability to conceal his breath, which is quite a contrast.

The mantis breaks through the fifth level and obtains the golden rice with explosive power, named the Ascension Golden Ear, a C5-level cosmic treasure, which has the special effect of stimulating potential and discovering one's own characteristics.

Therefore, the abilities obtained by Mantis, Dog and Turtle after absorption are different.

C-level cosmic treasures are not yet within Chu Mu’s reach, but Chu Mu can find a way to get more of the Red Bright Fruit and the Youying Fruit.

In this way, there should be no need to worry about improving transparent vision and concealment.

Thinking of this, Chu Mu suddenly felt in a good mood. He picked up the new technique he had just exchanged and devoted himself to training.

Time flies, and several days have passed.

The results of the camp’s first biweekly evaluation were announced.

Because they carried out important tasks one after another and completed them successfully, Chu Mu and his team of seven were ranked high in the assessments, all within the top 50.

Perhaps because of defeating Constantine, Chu Mu ranked 5th, the highest among the seven.

In terms of strength, Yu Qianqian and Tu Shanming broke through the second level of the Tengkong Realm one after another, and Xu Yuncan finally entered the Tengkong Realm. The strength of Lin Changfeng, Song Yan, and Lepani did not improve, but when they met again, their edge was obviously different from the past, and they also made considerable progress in other aspects.

The first half-monthly evaluation was passed safely, and Chu Mu and the other seven did not dare to relax at all.

The previous harvest has been almost consumed, and they are about to start the next mission.

The seven people entered the third floor of the mission tower together. After searching for a while, they soon focused their attention on one of the tasks.

[Mission number: L1217]

[Mission Difficulty: ☆☆☆]

[Mission Brief: Go to Longteng Province and cooperate with the Provincial Security Bureau to eliminate the Evil Blood Cult.]

[Number of people on the mission: 7]

[Camp Points: 1400]
