Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

The starship smoothly penetrated the atmosphere of Tian Shu Star.

The massive hull cleaved through the clouds, creating a low sonic boom.

Finally, it landed steadily on the Star Meteorite Helipad at the Seventh Legion's base.

The hatch slowly opened.

Su Yu, dressed in a black outfit, descended the gangway.

On the tarmac.

Chen Xuan and Lu Xinghe had been waiting for a long time.

The moment I saw Su Yu step off the warship.

Lu Xinghe rubbed his hands together excitedly, his usually shrewd eyes now filled with undisguised fervor and excitement.

"Good lad!"

Lu Xinghe suddenly stepped forward and punched Su Yu hard on the shoulder.

"You're really something!"

"Eighteen years old, with forty-five thousand drops of flawless source blood, you even shattered the Ninth Prince's domain lord laws, which possessed a million drops of source blood!"

"The entire leadership of the Great Chu Star Region has gone mad!"

Lu Xinghe was spitting and gesturing wildly.

"You didn't see the expressions on the faces of those old monsters from those hidden sects; they all looked like they'd seen a ghost."

"Our Seventh Legion has truly made a name for itself in the heart of space this time!"

Su Yu smiled slightly.

He was very satisfied with what he had gained from this trip.

He then turned his gaze to Chen Xuan, who was standing behind Lu Xinghe.

The commander of the Seventh Legion, who was renowned throughout the star field, still maintained his calm and dignified demeanor.

But in those deep eyes...

Yet, it was filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and pride.

Chen Xuan slowly walked forward.

Unlike Lu Xinghe, who was so excited that he became incoherent.

He simply stretched out his broad palm and patted Su Yu's shoulder twice.

Powerful.

"Well done."

Chen Xuan's voice was deep and powerful, conveying an undeniable certainty.

"The Seventh Legion is proud of you."

Eight simple words.

It carries more weight than any flowery praise.

Su Yu's expression was solemn as he bowed slightly and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your guidance, Commander."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, a bold smile playing on his lips.

"Stop with all this fluff."

"Since you have brought honor to the Legion, the Legion will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Chen Xuan flipped his wrist.

A storage ring emanating a rich aura of the starry sky appeared out of thin air in his palm.

It was tossed directly to Su Yu.

"Take it."

Su Yu caught it subconsciously and scanned it with his mental energy.

His deep eyes narrowed sharply.

Star Stone!

A full five thousand low-grade star stones!

Like a small mountain, they quietly piled up in the storage ring's space.

It radiates a mesmerizing, primal light.

"Commander, this..."

Su Yu raised his head, and even with his calm demeanor, he was taken aback by Chen Xuan's grand gesture.

Five thousand Star Stones.

This is no small amount.

It's equivalent to the entire fortune of an ordinary peak-level expert over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years!

Chen Xuan looked at Su Yu, his tone calm.

"You deserve it."

"You won first place in the Rising Star Tournament, securing a spot for the Legion in the Realm Lord's Divine Palace."

"These five thousand Star Stones are an extra reward from the Legion."

Chen Xuan paused, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"but."

"The tallest tree in the forest will surely be felled by the wind."

"The talent you displayed in the Rising Stars Challenge was simply dazzling."

"Although the Great Chu royal family recruited you, when the Realm Lord's Divine Palace opened, it wasn't just the geniuses of the Great Chu Star Region who entered."

Chen Xuan's gaze seemed to pierce through the vast starry sky.

"Peerless geniuses from several surrounding star systems will also enter."

"If they knew that Great Chu had produced a monster like you, they would spare no effort to besiege and exterminate you within the Divine Palace!"

Upon hearing the word "encirclement and suppression," Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

But he didn't panic at all.

Chen Xuan nodded in approval as he observed Su Yu's reaction.

He flipped his wrist again.

A strange jade slip, completely black and seemingly capable of absorbing all light, appeared in his hand.

"So, besides Star Stones."

"You can take this technique as well."

Chen Xuan handed the jade slip to Su Yu, his tone revealing a hint of secret pride.

"Immortal Divine Power - Void Shadow Technique".

"This is an extremely rare stealth-type supernatural ability."

"Once mastered, it will not only perfectly conceal one's own qi and blood fluctuations and true cultivation level."

"It can even temporarily merge the physical body into the dark side of the void, avoiding all physical and mental detection."

Chen Xuan patted Su Yu on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"In a place like the World Lord's Palace, where danger lurks everywhere."

"Only those who can keep their cards hidden can survive longer."

Su Yu gripped the black jade slip in his hand tightly.

Feel the obscure and profound immortal laws within it.

A warm feeling washed over me.

Chen Xuan was putting himself in his shoes to ensure his safety.

Not only did they provide him with a massive amount of resources, they even devised a way for him to save his life.

"Thank you, Commander."

Su Yu solemnly put away the jade slip and storage ring.

"Go."

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

"There is still one month until the opening of the Realm Lord's Divine Palace."

"A month is too short; it's difficult to make a substantial breakthrough in your cultivation. Keep those techniques and resources for later to digest slowly."

"Go back and go into seclusion. Your sole core task is to refine this 'Annihilation' weapon with all your might!"

"As long as you can achieve a preliminary resonance with it, this will be your biggest trump card within the Divine Palace."

Su Yu nodded.

"clear!"

Without lingering any longer, he turned and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the manor of the elite vanguard general of Tian Shu Star.

Deep within the manor.

Top-secret underground training room.

The heavy gate made of meteorite iron slammed shut.

Su Yu activated the highest-level defensive and isolation arrays within the manor.

The entire training room fell into absolute silence.

You could hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground clearly.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the spirit-gathering array platform in the center of the cultivation room.

I took a deep breath.

I forcibly suppressed the fervor in my heart.

Start taking stock of all your current assets.

The ten thousand star stones given by Emperor Chu Tianjiao of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Five thousand Star Stones given by Commander Chen Xuan.

In total, that's a full 15,000!

This is a terrifying sum of money that would make any black hole-level powerhouse envious.

"Keep five thousand as reserves in case of unforeseen circumstances."

Su Yu made a quick decision in his mind.

"The remaining ten thousand..."

"Top up the entire amount!"

Without any hesitation, Su Yu directly communicated with the system in his mind.

"system."

"Recharge 10,000 Star Stones!"

【Ding! 】

[Ten thousand low-grade star stones have been detected.]

[Absorbing... Absorption complete.]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 10,000 Meteor Points.]

A crisp system notification sounded in my mind.

Su Yu glanced at the system panel.

Add the remaining amount from before.

At this moment, his system balance had reached an unprecedented 10006 meteors!

Ten thousand shooting stars!

This represents a time span of 10,000 meteor years!

"We can begin."

Su Yu's eyes became exceptionally deep.

A major overhaul of its foundation has officially begun.

With a flick of his wrist, the dark golden jade slip, emanating a hazy gray aura, appeared in his palm.

The complete version of a Domain Lord-level cultivation technique – "Chaos Limitless Origin Blood Technique".

"system."

"Consumes one Star Balance".

"Deducing the 'Chaos Limitless Origin Blood Technique'!"

【Ding! 】

[Consumes one Meteor Star balance.]

[Building a simulation space for you...]
