Chapter 537: Chapter 415 Fire Ginseng (Fifth update)

Inside a human body, when humans evolve into Second-Level Black Iron Warriors, five "doors" emerge within the body, each sealing off a different part. Each time a "door" is opened, an additional part undergoes a mutation and evolution, thereby elevating their realm by one level. When all five "doors" are completely opened, one evolves into a Seventh Order Black Iron Warrior. At this point, all parts of the body have fully evolved and mutated and there are no more "doors" to open inside the body. Every person then faces the same conundrum: which path should they take next?

Once every part of the body has mutated and fully evolved, reaching the peak of the Black Iron realm, how does one continue to break through? Ouyang Nuo was stuck here, unable to break through. In fact, many powerful individuals in this world were trapped at this stage, unable to breakthrough for their entire lives.

But at this moment, after observing Su Yu, Ouyang Nuo had an epiphany. Since there were no longer any "doors" to open inside the body, why not create their own "doors" on the body itself? Open this "door," step out of the evolving body, maybe beyond the body there’s an even broader sky.

For a long while, what Ouyang Nuo could think of was only limited to within his body. He never considered that he could open a "door" belonging to him on his body’s surface, and that he could step out of his body... At this moment, watching Su Yu transform into a black Lizard Beast and using the Lightning Power to gradually form a Lizard Beast tail from his body, Ouyang Nuo finally understood. He had reached an enlightenment.

"Ha, hahaha—" Ouyang Nuo burst into a maniacal laughter. He suddenly realized that the path forward was actually simple. He felt ridiculous for being trapped here for so long, unable to break through.

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha—" Ouyang Nuo laughed uncontrollably, his pleasure reaching its peak.

Su Yu smiled. This was the evolutionary pathway he had conceived for himself.

Given that all doors inside his body were opened and there was no need for his body to mutate and evolve further, how should he continue moving forward and evolving? Then, he thought about his "Lizard Beast Transformation" skill that he was unable to upgrade when he evolved to the Seventh Order. He suddenly understood that while his own body had completely evolved, his transformed Lizard Beast had not. This Lizard Beast didn’t have a tail.

This was the evolutionary pathway he had conceived. He wasn’t sure if it would suit others, but what he could show Ouyang Nuo was just this much. Whether Ouyang Nuo could comprehend and how much he could comprehend, would merely depend on his own ability to grasp the concept and his fate.

However, breaking through to the Seventh Order, and successfully evolving once again, was not an easy task. Su Yu managed to comprehend his own evolutionary method, but for now, he could barely make the lightning take the form of the Lizard Beast’s tail. He still wasn’t able to truly mutate and evolve a Lizard Beast tail, so he was still stuck at the Seventh Order Realm, unable to truly take the final step and create a substantial change in his body.

Su Yu understood that this step of transformation was enormous, this could even be considered a complete improvement of his constitution. It is known that the lifespan of Seventh Stage Experts is limited to three hundred years. Even if you possess infinite vitality, upon reaching three hundred years, the body naturally collapses. However, once this step is taken, with the body undergoing another round of mutation and evolution, the lifespan of this new body could be extended up to five hundred years. Just this point alone indicates that the strength gained from this bodily mutation after taking this step is bound to be immensely potent, with the strength received increasing several folds.

On the side, Ouyang Nuo was laughing hysterically, ecstatic for no apparent reason. Finally, he shouted, "Once more—" As his hands came together, a terrifying golden flame surged over his body, launching itself at Su Yu once more.

Su Yu smiled, waiting for Ouyang Nuo to get closer. And then, he whipped the Thunder Lizard’s tail behind him.

With a loud "boom," creating a sky-shattering noise, Ouyang Nuo screamed. He was hit in the chest by the thunder tail instantly, countless flames on his body scattered. His golden skeleton body was blown away, landing more than thirty meters away. As he heavily hit the ground, he wasn’t able to get up for a while. However, he laughed aloud, "Incredible...it’s too incredible. You haven’t even fully broken through and you can already display such terrifying powers. If you truly break through...it’ll be too powerful...exceeding Seventh Level powers... it’s incomparable!"

Ouyang Nuo was in inexplicably high spirits while Su Yu began to retract the energy in his body. He knew that although Ouyang Nuo now understood the road to the next evolution, there was still a considerable distance to cover before the actual successful breakthrough could be achieved. Even he had not successfully evolved yet. However, this bit of insight had almost doubled Su Yu’s strength. This strike of the Thunder Lizard tail had reached a terrifying level of power and speed. Within the Seventh Order peak level, there were almost none who could resist him. And this was when he was not using the "Golden Blood" and the "Dark Heart."

After this battle, Ouyang Nuo was greatly inspired and immediately retreated to meditate in his room. However, he told Su Yu to be sure to take him along when he was going to attend the coronation of Lei Leian in the "Sky Main City".

People around saw how Ouyang Nuo, a Seventh Order peak warrior, was unable to withstand even one hit against Su Yu. They exchanged bitter smiles, feeling the gap between them and Su Yu growing increasingly wider. However, this battle also ignited everyone’s fighting spirits. Now, Su Yu had become the goal for everyone’s hard work and struggles.

Lei Leian’s invitation to Su Yu to attend her succession ceremony would have been a delightful event. Nevertheless, the current Su Yu is feeling a headache because of Zhang Zhongmou, Su Yun and others were eagerly pestering him. They all wanted to venture to the legendary mysterious "Sky Main City". For them, the "Sky Main City" that ruled over "Black Iron City" was naturally filled with mystery and curiosity. Furthermore, the succession ceremony would undoubtedly be grand and spectacle. Who wouldn’t want to witness it all?

Let alone them, even Ouyang Nuo, who was obsessed with constant training, wanted to be in the midst of it. This just shows how distressed Su Yu was at the moment; he can’t possibly drag everyone along with him, can he?

Just as Su Yu was still vexed about who to pick to go to the "Sky Main City" with, someone outside reported that the City Lord, the Great General from "General City", which was situated closest to the "Black Iron City" on the west side, had come for a visit.

Su Yu had encountered this "General City" City Lord Great General at the "Sky Main City" once before. Never had he expected a visit from him. Feeling a bit curious, Su Yu ordered his men to open the city gates and welcome them.

The Great General still donned his silver armour as before, and behind him trailed a general in flaming red armour and another in matte gold. They were the "Fire General" and "Iron General" from the "General City", whose roles were second only to the Great General. Their strengths were all high-stage level seven or pretty close to the peak of it.

Back in the day, Ouyang Nuo, having successfully built up his Golden Bone Flames, even challenged Fire General and won a game.

Great General’s visit baffled Su Yu, and he personally went out to greet him. Even from afar, the Great General gave out a hearty laugh. His demeanor was completely different from the last time in the "Sky Main City".

Su Yu was perplexed, but Ada understood—it appeared the Great General was making an effort for a closer relationship with Su Yu, hence the visit.

Back in the day when Anoka of "Black and White City" rebelled, only Su Yu rose in defence and assisted Lei Leian. Now that Anoka had died and the "Black and White City" was destroyed, Lei Leian would soon officially assume leadership of the "Sky Main City". The city lords had received the news, so they were aware that Su Yu would surely be in favor with Lei Leian. Moreover, Su Yu could summon the power of the Demon Divine Beast, which was indeed mighty and terrifying. Regardless of his motives, the "General City" where the Great General resided was the closest city to the "Black Iron City". He felt as if he should pay his neighbor a visit and increase their association.

"My ’General City’ and Lord Su’s ’Black Iron City’ are so close, it’s necessary for us to interact more often." The Great General responded with a light-hearted gesture, whereupon someone behind him raised a jade case. Once he lifted its lid, a rather valuable item was revealed.

The item was a peculiar object that resembled ginseng and radiated a fiery glow. Surely enough, this ginseng encapsulated the essence of a flawless, flame-engulfed gem.

Su Yu was stunned and puzzled about its use, to which the Great General, with a slight smile, introduced it as ’Fire Ginseng’, an item he had accidentally found in the Fire Elemental Space. He then added, "When you were appointed as the city lord, I couldn’t congratulate you in person. Consider this ’Fire Ginseng’ as my apology present."

Just as Su Yu was about to refuse the offer, Ada’s voice echoed, "Accept it. The ’Fire Ginseng’ isn’t a bad item. You’ll also be able to make a friend."

Su Yu smiled and nodded. Since Ada said so, he accepted the "Fire Ginseng" without hesitation. The Great General saw Su Yu accepting the gift and his eyes sparkled. His laughter rang out and his attitude towards Su Yu became visibly warmer.

Upon seeing Great General’s actions, Su Yu suddenly thought about an issue that had been bothering him, and asked: "Great General, tomorrow Lei Leian will officially become the new Lord of the main city. Do you plan on attending the celebration alone or with a group?"

The Great General seemed a little surprised by this and responded, "Typically there were strict rules in the past only the city lords were permitted to enter the main city, and others were strictly forbidden. However, this time it seems like the higher-ups want to make Inspector General’s celebration more lively, therefore, no restrictions were placed on the number of people we can bring with us... as long as everyone behaves. At least, that’s what the boy who informed me about this event said."

Su Yu broke into laughter, it was as if a weight had finally been lifted off his shoulders. It turned out that when Lei Leian mentioned inviting a few friends along, she wasn’t simply being polite. Had Su Yu shown up with a large group whereas the other city lords attended alone—it would have been really embarrassing.(To be continued. If you want more, please go to www.qidian.com.
