Chapter 674 - 660: The Power of the Bursting Flame Secret Skill (2)
Unfortunately, such people are getting fewer.
Or rather, the extremists are somewhat running short.
Compared to the situation on Earth Star, things are simpler here on Spirit Blue Star.
Cultivation, everyone is either cultivating or busy with work.
Especially over on Newcomer Island, the Logistics Department of Yi Sect has started operations, with some people tasked with hunting Fierce Beasts, and others leading those new mages or ordinary people who are unable to awaken their Spiritual Power to cultivate land and grow crops.
Only the food grown on Spirit Blue Star can provide mages with adequate energy.
It’s pointless to transport food from Earth Star.
All that’s useful are seeds.
These matters are entirely managed, coordinated, and arranged by the Logistics Department.
Anyone who hasn’t awakened as a Divine Master is considered part of the Logistics Department for now.
Other departments are also selecting personnel and are gradually improving their organizational structure.
Of course, Xu Yi doesn’t concern himself with these things.
They have a weekly video meeting, which doesn’t last more than two hours, with people from each department simply reporting on their situation and existing issues.
Xu Yi rarely intervenes; he occasionally offers a few suggestions.
In essence, Xu Yi doesn’t really seize power; everything is delegated.
Yi Sect, during the cultivation of Xu Yi and Lu Ke, is slowly perfecting itself.
This is a brand new organization, full of vitality, and everyone is filled with anticipation for the future.
The people in the Research Department have also selected current knowledge and technology they need to acquire from the Spirit Race.
It’s all very basic because only with a solid foundation can one learn greater things.
If you can’t walk, how can you run?
Xu Yi also handed this list to No.6, who then received all the detailed information on those knowledge and technologies.
Next, the Research Department must begin learning this knowledge and recruit a large number of high-intelligence elites to join them for collective learning. It’s safe to say that the recruited millions of high-intelligence individuals must learn these things.
Then, those whose learning ability is insufficient or who cannot complete the learning will be redistributed to other departments.
In the future, Yi Sect will surely continue recruiting.
Especially the War God Department, which only recruits Divine Masters. However many apply, that’s how many they accept.
Of course, everyone knows that the number of Divine Masters is very limited.
Moreover, even when many become Divine Masters, they may not necessarily join Yi Sect’s War God Department.
After all, humanity is now entering a new era, bursting with opportunities and possibilities. Particularly for those with ambition and career aspirations, they can completely rely on their Divine Master prowess to make a mark.
Of course, Xu Yi isn’t too concerned with these matters either.
He and Lu Ke have now entered the territory of 10th-level Fierce Beasts, having crossed the Foggy Area.
It hasn’t even been an hour after crossing the Foggy Area when they were attacked by a flying Fierce Beast.
This flying Fierce Beast isn’t very large; you’d feel it’s too small to be a mount.
However, if you really use it as a mount, it would certainly be no problem. Because, their strength tolerance is very high, and their speed is also quite fast.
Regrettably, Xu Yi isn’t very interested in them.
Kill, now he just wants to kill his way through, and hopefully, breakthrough by the time he reaches the territory of the 11th-level Fierce Beast.
"Lu Ke, let me show you my newly comprehended Secret Skill." Saying so, Xu Yi wielded his Devouring Spirit and sliced towards the sky.
Flames erupted forth, directly consuming that 10th-level flying Fierce Beast.
"This, this is just unbelievable. Xu Yi, how did you do it? Our Spiritual Power can transform into flames, isn’t this just like a Mage?" Lu Ke felt like her worldview was reconstructed once again.
However, she’s already used to it.
After all, such things that turn her understanding upside down have happened quite frequently.
"Of course, it can. This is my new direction. Not only can it form flames, but it can also become Ice Arrows. However, I’m still researching it." Xu Yi turned and remarked.
This Secret Skill drained eighty percent of his Spiritual Power.
The Fierce Beast was destined for death.
After all, that was Xu Yi transforming eighty percent of his strength into an attack. Moreover, flames naturally have damaging effects.
Xu Yi is still unsure how high the temperature of this flame is.
If he hadn’t established a Spiritual Power barrier in the beginning, he and Lu Ke might have suffered burns.
"Boom." With an explosion, a powerful shockwave blasted Xu Yi and Lu Ke away.
Luckily, their reactions weren’t slow, so it didn’t cause any harm.
"Did the Brain Crystal explode?" Xu Yi clicked his tongue, feeling a bit incredulous.
The Bursting Flame Secret Skill is terrifying enough to detonate the Brain Crystal?
That flying Fierce Beast had already been blown to bits, beyond any chance of survival.
"The power is immense; it completely blew the Fierce Beast away and almost harmed us too." Lu Ke was amazed, bewildered by the terrifying power of that flame attack.
If Xu Yi uses it against human Divine Masters, it should be even more terrifying, right?
"Indeed, it’s formidable, far exceeding my expectations. But perhaps that’s because this move consumed eighty percent of my Spiritual Power. I’m not yet familiar with this Secret Skill; I think controlling it at four or five percent would be much better." Xu Yi is, after all, using this skill in combat for the first time and didn’t quite get the measure.
Nevertheless, this has shown Xu Yi the power of such skills.
Next, he could start cultivating the other two Secret Skills.
After spending too much Spiritual Power, Xu Yi needed to stop and allow his Spiritual Power to fully recover before he could continue.
This is the territory of 10th-level Fierce Beasts, so caution is paramount.
Xu Yi cultivated for less than half an hour when another flying Fierce Beast appeared, launching an attack on them.
This time, Lu Ke made the move.
She wielded her Devouring Spirit, aiming at the flying Fierce Beast.
The flying Fierce Beast mainly attacked with Telekinesis, and the power was considerable.
Lu Ke figured that the speed of the flying Fierce Beast’s Telekinesis might quickly drain its power.
The result was much like Lu Ke anticipated; the flying Fierce Beast’s attack lasted only 10 minutes before it rapidly retreated.
Faced with this result, Lu Ke was rather helpless.
Because she didn’t manage to severely wound the flying Fierce Beast initially. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have had the chance to escape.
After the battle, Lu Ke sat down and began recovering her Spiritual Power.
An hour later, Xu Yi and Lu Ke had fully recovered and continued to advance.
At nightfall, they encountered a bear-like 10th-level Fierce Beast.
Both of them attacked simultaneously, resolving the Fierce Beast within 5 minutes.
After all, the combat power of the two is formidable. They didn’t exert themselves fully yet killed that 10th-level Fierce Beast.
They had a meal cooked from fresh 10th-level Fierce Beast meat for dinner.
At night, they trained in the tent, unconcerned about any potential Fierce Beast assaults.
Time flew by, soon ushering in the next day.
After breakfast on the second day, Xu Yi began instructing Lu Ke on cultivating the Secret Skill—Bursting Flame.
The Secret Skill isn’t difficult to train; if done correctly, it can be learned in half a day.
If the method is wrong, mishaps could occur such as injuring oneself or even accidental self-immolation.
Then, Xu Yi and Lu Ke started looking for other 10th-level Fierce Beasts, wanting to tame one or two to serve as mounts.
The Martial Technique—Ice Seal, Xu Yi went over it again last night; it seems ready for use.
Yet, he still needs to test it on a Fierce Beast today to evaluate its potency and effects.
This time, Xu Yi hopes to exercise better control, avoiding excessive Spiritual Power usage when casting this Secret Skill. Otherwise, the overwhelming power might hurt himself and Lu Ke again.
