Chapter 24 Unlimited Star Energy Techniques - [Black Azure]

boom!
In a single training room of the Ember organization.

Tiandao casually tossed the black orb in his hand, which then struck a specially made super alloy testing column with self-repairing capabilities not far away.

The black sphere, about the size of a ping-pong ball, emitted a piercing metallic tearing sound the moment it came into contact with the superalloy test column.

The piercing, sharp sound, like the howl of a giant beast, shattered the tranquility of the training room.

This superalloy test pillar, which could withstand attacks from second-level star envoys, was struck by the Heavenly Dao and dented in a spiderweb pattern with a diameter of over five meters.

Moreover, after the high-speed rotating black sphere crashed into the superalloy test column, it maintained its astonishing rotational speed, continuously tearing at the column's body.

Sizzle.
The intense friction generated high temperatures, causing some of the molten red iron in the center of the depression to become liquid.

Within the billowing white smoke all around, numerous dazzling sparks flashed.

Once the smoke dissipates, the sparks disappear.

A cone-shaped crater, five meters in diameter and three meters deep, appeared prominently in the center of the test column.

"So, the maximum speed I can reach right now is ten times the normal speed?"

Looking at the power of his 'black ball', Tiandao had a rough idea of ​​the effect of this attack.

However, Tiandao trusted Caroline's objective data analysis more than his own subjective guesses.

"Caroline, how was it? Did you record the star energy value of that attack just now?"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Caroline, who was conducting data analysis on her tablet, looked up.

"Star energy reading 1900, impact force equivalent to level two initial stage."

Caroline's cat tail was wrapped around a tactical tablet, and data streamed like a waterfall in her emerald pupils.

"But your energy utilization rate is only 95%, which means that this is almost your current limit."

"Heavenly Dao, I personally think you can stop here for now. After all, this 5% utilization rate is not worth spending a lot of time improving. The returns are too low."

"Only 1900?"

Upon hearing Caroline's answer, Tendou's face showed obvious disappointment.

One thousand star energy points is a minimum star energy value standard established by the Star Envoy Association to distinguish between first-level and second-level star envoys.

Therefore, any move that exceeds this value can be classified as level two.

However, the so-called star energy value is only one of the standards used to measure the strength of star envoys.

Most of the time, depending on the different star source and star energy techniques, most star envoys can unleash attack power many times greater than their own base performance value.

Therefore, the star energy value can only be used for reference and cannot truly reflect the full strength of a star envoy.

However, if we look at it from the perspective of basic star energy values...

Having obtained the star source 'Vector Control', Tiandao, who has reached '200 star energy value', is now a genuine first-level star envoy.

But that's far from enough for him.

Because his future opponents are not just one or two Level One Star Envoys.

Instead, it was a group of first-level star envoys, plus a senior second-level star envoy.

Therefore, even though the Heavenly Dao has optimized its 'Star Energy Technique - Azure' to its current extreme.

This led to the development of a completely new composite technique: 'Black Azure'.

But Heaven still felt that this was not enough.

He needed to ensure that Hei Cang's moves reached at least 8000 star energy points to have an 80% or higher chance of completing his plan.

Otherwise, in the future, he might very well be treated like a clown, like a stray dog ​​on the street, and kicked to death at will.

【Star Energy Spell - Black Azure】

[Effect: Utilizing its superior observation and control over the flow of stellar energy through its 'Star Eclipse Eye', combined with 'Vector Control' to increase the rotation speed of stellar energy, the power of the 'Star Energy Orb' is greatly enhanced, currently at its maximum rotation speed (10 times)]

Black Azure is a new move developed by the Heavenly Dao after obtaining the star source 'Vector Control' and combining it with the previous 'Star Energy Technique: Azure'.

The principle behind this move is actually not complicated; it's similar to the 'Rasengan' from his previous life in Naruto.

Its method of use involves concentrating stellar energy in one's hand, then compressing this stellar energy while allowing it to flow in irregular directions, eventually forming a sphere of non-attribute stellar energy of a certain volume. Originally, before obtaining the stellar source of vector control, the Heavenly Dao's 'Stellar Energy Technique: Azure' could only reach a maximum of 'three times' the rotation speed.

However, once the star source with vector control is available, the Heavenly Dao can increase the rotation speed of the 'Star Energy Sphere' by 'ten times'.

And this is far from the limit of 'Black Azure,' but merely the limit of the Heavenly Dao.

Because, theoretically speaking, the power of 'Black Azure' is actually limitless.

After all, the faster the Black Cang rotates, the more stellar energy is compressed.

The greater its power, the stronger it will be, eventually achieving a terrifying effect similar to a 'miniature black hole'.

Therefore, the statement that 'Black Cang' has no upper limit is not just talk; it is supported by solid theory.

It is worth mentioning that the principle behind the 'Black Azure' technique is quite simple.

However, others do not possess the 'Star Eclipse Eye,' a special pupil technique that allows them to clearly observe the flow of stellar energy and perform precise manipulations of it.

This meant that even though they clearly understood the principles behind the technique.

However, they still couldn't learn it no matter what they tried; it was a publicly known, exclusive technique of the Heavenly Dao.

However, no matter how great Hei Cang's future potential is, it is limited by Tian Dao's current physical condition.

'Ten times the speed' is already the limit he can achieve.

If he wants to break through this bottleneck and continue to enhance the power of 'Black Azure'.

Alternatively, you can further increase your base star energy value.

Alternatively, we can further enhance the development of star sources for 'vector control'.

But neither of these things is easy to improve.
Thinking of this, Tiandao immediately looked at his attribute panel.

[Name: Celestial Fate Master (Ember Organization - Child of the Stars)]

[Age: 12 years old]

【Star Source: Vector Control (10%)】

[Star Core: Star Eclipse Sky Eye (100% Compatibility)]

[Star Energy Value: 200]

[Attributes: Strength S, Agility S, Spirit S, Constitution S]

[Skills: Star Energy Control (Master Level), Instant Step (Master Level), Star Beast Knowledge Encyclopedia (Expert Level)...]

Current popularity: 15

[Popularity value of loans reached: 100 million (maximum limit reached)]

Looking at his attribute panel, Tiandao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

'Is it really possible to increase star points by so little in three days?'

'At this rate, if I can't obtain that special item that helps with star energy cultivation soon, it will be difficult for me to reach the level 1 Star Envoy limit of over 900 points within six months.'

'You have to understand, that guy from one of the four great families isn't some ordinary level-two Star Envoy. If I don't have over 900 Limit Star Energy points, forget about taking him down with me; I might not even be able to injure him.'

'No, I have to find a way to speed up the acquisition of popularity points and get that special item as soon as possible.'

'Otherwise, I'd be lucky to avoid becoming a clown, let alone orchestrate a spectacular fireworks display.'

'However, episodes 5 through 8 following *Stellaris: Ember* consist of mundane, everyday storylines.'

"With this kind of pacing, there's simply no room to pull off any big surprises to boost popularity, unless I can come up with some extra plot points that go beyond the original story."

'But where can I get this extra plot information?'

Just as Tiandao was thinking this, the door to the training room slowly opened, and Chenxing led Chenkong in one after the other.

Upon seeing the appearance of the siblings, Tiandao, who hadn't yet figured out how to cause trouble, suddenly had his eyes light up.

Hey, what a coincidence!
Just as I was dozing off, someone brought me a pillow.

You two siblings are truly my lucky stars!
