Chapter 292: Chapter 238: A New Mystic Treasure Ring

By his estimate, he could certainly strike Su Yu; even if he couldn’t take his life, he could at least slash a wound on his body.

However, with his left arm missing and falling to the ground, he could only kick back with his feet, rolling backwards frantically. He let out a roar of anger, pressing the fingers of his right hand on the ground, triggering the spell in the Mystic Treasure Ring.

Meng Rui wore two Mystic Treasure Rings on his right hand. At this moment, neither of these rings had unleashed their spells. For Meng Rui, these two rings were almost like life-saving special techniques, which he was reluctant to use except in emergencies.

But Su Yu’s performance chilled his courage. After falling to the ground, he immediately activated one of the spells in a ring without hesitation.

As soon as his fingers touched the ground, beams of dazzling dark light sprang up immediately, converging into a ferocious black beast that hurtled across the ground. With its massive mouth wide open, it lunged at Su Yu.

Using the Golden Claw, Su Yu grabbed Meng Rui’s Steel Wings and threw him away. Just as he was about to take advantage of the victory, a flash of dark light suddenly appeared before him, a ferocious beast descended, and its massive head wide open, it could almost swallow Su Yu whole.

One of the spells attached to Meng Rui’s two Mystic Treasure Rings summons this man-eating black beast. When it pounces, it can swallow anyone below the Sixth Order whole.

When Su Yu saw the beast open its mouth, he felt a tremendous suction force pulling him towards the beast’s mouth.

With a slight shock in his heart, Su Yu didn’t think twice. Turning his hand, golden lightning spewed out, followed by a fierce bolt of golden lightning, two feet wide.

With the spell "Wrath of Thunder" in hand, he countered the other’s spell directly. The two-foot-wide golden lightning struck the black beast, causing a deafening explosion. The black beast was writhing in electric shock, and at the same moment, the black beast with its large mouth wide open bit Su Yu.

Swinging his right hand with the Golden Claw, a dazzling golden light flashed, Su Yu stood still and roared: "Discharge——"

With a "crackling" explosion, thousands of golden lightning bolts erupted from Su Yu’s body, ripping apart the black beast that bit him in an instant.

Wrapped in golden lightning, Su Yu appeared as imposing as a Thunder God. He pointed his right hand at Meng Rui, and with a loud "snap," unleashed an intense, two-foot-wide bolt of lightning, another "Wrath of Thunder."

Meng Rui was shocked to see that the black beast summoned by the spell from his ring was unable to harm Su Yu before it was destroyed. He couldn’t help but feel frightened and exclaimed, "Damn it! Landmine Devourer——"

He suddenly activated the spell in his other ring, which was also a Thunder Attribute spell. As he yelled fiercely, he used his single wing to wrap around his body for defense, and at the same time activated the other spell "Landmine Devourer."

Blue and white lightning suddenly sprang from the ground within two yards of Su Yu and immediately turned into an intertwining network of lightning, engulfing Su Yu and striking madly.

With a clear cry, Su Yu pointed his right hand, and another "Wrath of Thunder" was released. Two incredibly huge bolts of golden lightning struck almost simultaneously, hitting Meng Rui, who had just wrapped himself in his iron wings.

"Ah——" Meng Rui howled madly. The iron wings around his body were conductive and did absolutely nothing to defend against the electric shock. He was struck by the two successive "Wrath of Thunder" attacks, causing his soul to scatter. He kept screaming, while Su Yu silently moved to his side, opened his left hand, grabbed his head, and calmly said, "Discharge at fifty thousand volts——"

Bolts of golden lightning shot like small snakes into Meng Rui’s head. The shock of fifty thousand volts was the strongest Su Yu could currently produce.

At that moment, Meng Rui’s eyes opened wide and bloodshot. With two "pop" sounds, his body convulsed furiously, his eyeballs squirted out of their sockets, then fresh blood gushed from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, and a foul-smelling black smoke rose from his orifices. His skin twitched continuously, gradually melting and festering before turning black.

The shock of fifty thousand volts continued to strike Meng Rui, with unimaginable power.

Su Yu let go, and Meng Rui fell to the ground, burnt to a crisp. His pair of steel wings slowly disappeared into the air. The mighty Sixth-Order Powerhouse had been killed by Su Yu’s electric shock. Almost all his internal organs had turned to charcoal.

Even though he had personally killed a formidable Sixth-Order Powerhouse, Su Yu felt no excitement at all.

"You’re not excited by having killed a Sixth-order Powerhouse, Su Yu?" Ada quizzically wriggled on Su Yu’s shoulder.

"He was too weak to be a true representation of a Sixth-order Powerhouse. Furthermore, he was missing an arm, so killing him doesn’t bring me any sense of pride." Su Yu sighed, picked up the severed arm from the ground, crouched down next to Meng Rui’s body and slowly said, "You must have been speculating before your death—had you possessed both arms, you could have bested me. But even so, even if you had two arms, you couldn’t have beaten me."

He said this as he slowly connected Meng Rui’s severed arm back to his body, all the while murmuring to himself. But Su Yu’s eyes were becoming distant.

"Why... why was such a man able to comprehend the techniques of the Sixth-order... What exactly is the Sixth-order? While my special power has reached the Fifth-order Peak, it has been saturated and can no longer grow. But why can’t I advance to the Sixth-order... What exactly am I lacking? What do I lack compared to this Meng Rui?"

Su Yu murmured to himself. Compared to Meng Rui, Su Yu in terms of combat consciousness or battle adaptability was far superior. But why could Meng Rui advance to the Sixth-order and he could not?

"Looking at the performance of Meng Rui just now... advancing to the Sixth-order, it’s definitely not about comprehending advanced techniques, otherwise, with his capabilities displayed earlier, it wouldn’t be just that. However, no matter how strong the special power within my body is, it can’t shake the remaining "gate"... could it be that..."

Su Yu suddenly stood up, paced around, and slowly said, "I see, there is only one possibility left, using external force... Yes, probably need some sort of opportunity, or help from an external force, to break the ’gate’... to advance."

As he got to this point, Su Yu’s eyes glowed with realization, as he seemed to capture the method of proceeding towards the "Sixth-order."

"However, what kind of external force would I need and how would I leverage it..."

As Su Yu began to ponder, Ada from the side impatiently spoke up: "Boss, how long will you keep standing here talking to yourself? Shouldn’t we move into this place and take a look?"

Su Yu snapped back to his senses and smiled, feeling slightly embarrassed. Ada had already gathered all of the Mag-Eu Stones from the three robots on the ground and everything from Meng Rui’s body.

The most valuable things from Meng Rui’s body were naturally the two Mystic Treasure Rings. Besides that, there was a huge chunk of Time Coins. It seemed that he was quite a wealthy guy in this world.

Su Yu noticed that most of these Time Coins were inscribed with the word "Time", while there were five inscribed with the word "Day".

"These are Time Coins? ’Day’ is also nicknamed as ’Day Coin’. A ’Day Coin’ can be exchanged for fifty ’Time Coins’. Moreover, the Time Coins inscribed with the character ’Day’ can be directly absorbed into one’s body, representing the life power that can be consumed for living five extra days in this world. Quite a precious treasure," Ada chuckled as he explained.

Something clicked in Su Yu’s mind, prompting him to say, "So if I absorb these five ’Day Coins’ into my body, does that mean my lifespan will be extended by five days? No, in terms of the world I come from, does that mean I would become five years younger?"

"Yes, because after you and I entered into a Symbiotic Contract, the wind-down of your life power returned to normal. However, before that, you had lived in this forest for about half a month, which means you lost more than a decade of life power. These five ’Day Coins’ can replenish it. In terms of your old world, this is equivalent to a five years’ increase, and in this world, it’s equivalent to an increase of five days. So, would you like to use them?"

Su Yu shook his head with a small smile and shoved all the Time Coins into his pouch, saying, "One ’Day Coin’ can be exchanged for fifty ’Time Coins’. Why would I waste them in this way? For me right now, it wouldn’t make much difference whether my life power stays at the level of a twenty-year-old or a thirty-something-year-old. It won’t be too late to use them when I have more Time Coins in the future."

"Hmm, there are probably others in Freedom Village who need Time Coins more urgently than you. You’re going to stay in this world for seven days. For others, that means a loss of seven years of life power."

Su Yu sighed, "You’re right. These damn rules... if I do manage to get back alive, I really need to figure out a way to get more Time Coins. Everyone is fine for now, but if this situation continues, I’m afraid problems will start to arise."

Ada replied, "Well, we still have time. Stop dwelling on it and see what the Mystic Treasures are."

After Su Yu sensed the two rings, he found that one of them could summon a black beast. Its attribute was darkness, so he couldn’t use it. He put it away in his pouch. The other ring was the "Landmine Ring", with an attached spell of "Landmine Devourer". It had the attribute of thunder and could be used by him.

Su Yu had witnessed the power of the "Landmine Devourer" before and found it quite impressive. So he put the "Landmine Ring" on his right finger, channeled his golden lightning power into the ring and then extended his hand to activate the "Landmine Devourer" spell.

Immediately, under Su Yu’s control, golden lightning bolts bounced up from the ground within a radius of around ten meters, forming an intimidating thunder formation. There was a continuous crackling sound. Even though Su Yu was only testing the waters this time, its power was already awe-inspiring.
