Chapter 284: Chapter 259: An Jianyou’s Evolution (Seeking Monthly Passes)

A golden meteor streaked across the sky, and Fang You was not surprised.

With the odds of the super card pool, it was still difficult to draw a Crimson Grade treasure, but only getting three golden legends out of ten attempts was a bit too much.

Was he just unlucky, or was this card pool a trap?

"At least there are some new items, I hope they won’t disappoint me."

Ignoring those he already had and those of little value, Fang You started by looking at the blue Skill Books.

His eyes lit up slightly.

This ’Sprout of Growth’ Skill Book, just as its name suggested, had the effect of promoting plant growth. Judging from its description, the skill was not great for combat, likely not even comparable to its lower-ranked skill ’Growth Entanglement’.

No, it was far from comparable.

’Growth Entanglement’ acted faster, produced plants with greater tenacity, while ’Sprout of Growth’ seemed not to.

But beyond combat, ’Growth Entanglement’ was a forced growth, an over-exertion of vitality. Plants that grew wildly after being summoned would wither immediately once they lost the supply of life energy.

This skill, when used in planting, wasn’t exactly ineffective but could only be said to have a counterproductive effect.

’Sprout of Growth’ on the other hand, was different. It was slow, it consumed a lot, it was difficult to master, it... despite its numerous flaws, it was an excellent production skill.

"Could it be Liu Chang’s prayers have worked?"

"Maybe I should ask her to pray next time, in hopes of drawing a Crimson treasure?"

Thinking this, Fang You didn’t hesitate; he immediately added the Skill Book to the exchange list and designated it for Liu Chang alone.

...

By the seaside, in the plantation area.

Liu Chang wiped off her sweat. Though exhausted, seeing the healthy growth of the young plants made her smile with joy.

She looked down, beneath her clothes was a blue, water drop-shaped Strange Implement, softly glowing.

"Even with this ’Angel’s Tear’, there’s still not enough life energy! O great mentor, please think of a solution. Otherwise, otherwise your humble servant will...

She thought long and hard but came up with nothing when suddenly, a notification pinged in her mind.

Your watched exchange list has new items~!

It was a Skill Book.

The advanced Skill Book ’Sprout of Growth’. Liu Chang overlooked the steep exchange price and focused on the skill description.

Immediately, her smile bloomed.

"The mentor truly is omnipotent."

"Hmm, let’s make another wish, hoping that next time the mentor will bring a large supply of life droplets, so that my experiments won’t be so constrained."

...

Seeing that Liu Chang had learned the skill and had exchanged for numerous practice opportunities, rapidly increasing her proficiency with the skill...

Fang You looked on with satisfaction.

A mature Angel Envoy should not only work for their boss but also know how to use their salary to improve themselves and to cultivate more workers for their boss.

Liu Chang had done just that, not bad.

He continued to look at the treasures from the card draw.

’Miracle Blueprint: Sprout Tower’

’Explanation one: The Sprout Tower is a special structure that requires Awakeners to control and input life energy. It can shoot special Sprout Arrows, which upon hitting an enemy, will grow sprouts on the target’s body until it drains and swallows them whole.’

’Explanation two: To condense the ’Sprout Tower Building Seed’, 1000 Ghastly Crystals are required, and the following materials must be added during the construction process...’

’Note: The Sprout Tower has side effects. As time passes, the controller’s body will slowly turn to wood until it assimilates as part of the Sprout Tower.’

"This sort of woodification is probably a type of contamination erosion, similar to most Strange Implements and Mysterious Objects. Regardless of the side effects, it ultimately comes down to a deepening of the contamination."

"And this deepening can gradually recover over time, or it can be expedited with the help of purifying potions, Calming Potions, and so on."

Of course, this only applies when the level of contamination is low. If it’s high? No cure, just wait for death, goodbye.

In his view, the side effects of the Sprout Tower could be mitigated by rotating the controls, staying within a tolerable range.

"It’s a decent defensive structure, just a bit costly to construct."

"And the Water of Origin..."

He took out a drop, watching it float above his palm, a faint golden glow emanating from the droplet. Suddenly, a desire surged within him—the urge to swallow this drop of Water of Origin outright.

This was not some sort of temptation or trap.

It was solely an instinctual craving for life, for this was a drop that could aid in growth potential and fundamental transformation. Put simply, the Water of Origin could enhance a person’s potential.

But it seemed to be ineffective for Instructor Fang?

Fang You wasn’t clear on what level his potential was. He had no innate talent, or perhaps the skills and abilities he freeloaded from the Angel Envoy were his talent?

His potential might be blue, might be purple, and was probably not low because he gained a lot from training and practice. The two-dimensional attributes seemed to rise without any ceiling, indicating that his potential was not low.

He tried something on his game panel.

’Ding!’

’Prompt: Do you wish to use ’Water of Origin’, target: Savior of Destiny?’

’Prompt: ...@%#$, this treasure has no effect on ’Savior of Destiny’, do you still wish to use it?’

This treasure must taste really good, as Fang You swallowed his saliva.

But of course, it was not meant for him.

"One drop of Water of Origin can raise the potential of a user with green or blue potential to the purple grade, birthing a personal talent."

"But it takes three drops of Water of Origin for a genius with purple potential to ascend to the legendary Chosen One."

At first glance, the effect seemed somewhat lacking. In the past, three soul orbs allowed Black Blade to ascend to the golden Black Blade, and soul orbs ranked lower than the Water of Origin.

But on the other hand, soul orbs were for designated users, while Water of Origin could be used by anyone.

All things considered, it was still...

...still lacking!

I would rather have nine sets of 3x3 soul orbs!

Looking at the "Root Water" that exuded an enticing ’fragrance’ before him, Fang You fell into thought.

Who should use it?

Should he cultivate three talented newcomers, or promote a Son of Destiny?

After a moment of thought, he chose the latter, and already had someone in mind.

An Jianyou!

His decision was well-considered, and it had nothing to do with An Jianyou being a raven-haired heiress who could cook, but rather because of... An Jianyou’s combat power!

"Compared to those with potential, Firelight now needs more high-end combat power, the need to make the strong even stronger."

"Besides myself and Brother Black Blade, An Jianyou is the third strongest member in Firelight, and when it comes to fighting against the Mysterious Evil, dealing with a multitude of enemies, she is far stronger than Brother Black Blade, by a great margin!"

She might even be stronger than him.

The accumulation of mysteries was proof! He had stepped into the Fifth Awakening earlier than An Jianyou, but to this day, he had still not broken through to the Six Senses, nor had An Jianyou. However, she was closer than he was.

If An Jianyou’s Six Senses Awakening Ceremony wasn’t a failure, she might very well become Firelight’s first Six Senses throne-level presence.

The King among Men!

Having An Jianyou evolve would bring greater benefits. In the future, if there were more Water of Origin, it could be used as a reward for those who have made significant contributions within Firelight.

...

...

Half a day later, An Jianyou, who had just returned to the Secret Realm base, showed a rare look of surprise on her face.

"Evo, evolution?"

"But this is too precious! No, no..." she shook her head like a rattle-drum, "Even if you can’t use it yourself, Teacher, you could give it to Instructor Black Blade."

"Black Blade has his own fortunes. The decision to grant these three drops of Water of Origin to you is the organization’s decision," Fang You said.

"However, contribution points need to be deducted, and you might be in debt for a very long time."

She shook her head.

She didn’t care about being in debt; what mattered to her was the teacher’s thoughts. Since the teacher put it that way and Instructor Black Blade didn’t need it, then...

"I’ll take it!"

Hesitation was pointless. Becoming stronger was the way to meet the teacher’s expectations, the way to save the world!

She reached out her hand and took the three golden droplets from his hand without any hesitation, and sent them straight to her mouth.

As soon as they touched her lips, they converted into a warm energy that spread throughout her limbs and body, filling her with both warmth and strength, and it seemed there were also some indescribable changes occurring.

In Fang You’s eyes, An Jianyou’s raven hair fluttered, and within her bright, large eyes, the dark blue light grew even more dazzling, as if it contained a whole world.

Her skin became even more translucent, and her hair shone with a glossy black, making her seem like she was imbued with an ethereal charm.

Perfect! Flawless! Regal!

’Ding!’

’Notification: Apostel of Fate An Jianyou’s potential has risen, her two-dimensional being has slightly improved, and her talent "Passage to the Mystic Eye" has evolved into "Netherworld Eye."’

No second talent was born?

Could it be that a golden potential does not necessarily come with dual talents, but there’s also a chance that a talent directly evolves?

He gazed at An Jianyou.

An Jianyou’s cheeks flushed a faint pink.

Fang You: "?"

"Cough, did anything change with your body?"

She widened her eyes and took out a mirror to look at herself closely. Her Netherworld domain spread out—it was no longer pitch-black, and while she couldn’t clearly articulate the specific changes, they were apparent...

The two took a backdoor and arrived at the shallow layer of the Ghastly Realm.

Without lighting any lamps and shrouded by the domain, they walked past Mysterious Evil entities as if they were invisible.

Not only this,

"Teacher, look!"

The environment before them changed again, just like how it had when they first entered the shallow layer of the Ghastly Realm from Blue Star.

The fog deepened, towering buildings gradually disappeared, replaced by a massive subterranean space filled with bizarre crystals.

This was,

"The Falling Star Pit!"

The deep layer of the Ghastly Realm, one of the areas that had been explored so far!

After evolving, could An Jianyou now take a backdoor to enter deep layer areas without using the main paths?

To bypass the entrance using a backdoor!

The strategic significance... was immense.

However, their main mission at the moment was the Dawn project, so they just tried it out quickly and then rapidly ’ascended’ back to the shallow layer before returning to Blue Star.

...

Three days passed in a blink.

During this time, An Jianyou, familiarizing herself with the talent and continuously leveling up, did not disappoint her teacher’s expectations and... advanced to Six Senses!

Meanwhile, no, even a bit earlier, Xing Jinglei and Yiluo Xi successively entered the Fifth Awakening.

Following Black Blade, they became the Fourth and Fifth Five Senses command-level powerhouses.

The breakthroughs, guided by the awakening, were perfect from the start, instantly resetting any prior contaminations and surging their combat power to the peak.

But at the same time,

Boom—

The skies over Blue Star darkened.

Dark clouds bore down on the city, and waves raged.

That curtain of fog, invisible to the common eye, descended.
