Chapter 430: Breaking Through One After Another
Lin Yun's strength utterly shocked Star Blue, painting him into a corner where he had no choice but to use all his power.
"Boom——"
After half an hour of fighting, the battle ended with the two of them fiercely throwing punches at each other, both their bodies smacking against the energy shield shielding the perimeter of the combat arena like cannonballs.
"Crack——"
In an instant, cracks had formed in the combat arena's energy shield.
"Sss——"
The powerful individuals of the Heavenly Bamboo who were watching this fight all sucked in a gasp of cold air when they witnessed this scene.
This combat arena was crafted by their Heavenly Bamboo Holy Land, they knew better than anyone else its robustness.
They had evaluated Lin Yun and Star Blue's level...
One at the early stages of level five, and another at the late stages of level six.
As a result, not only did they fight to a standstill, they also caused such a huge uproar that even the strongest beings on their planet, the typical peak-level six mirror images of themselves, had a hard time stirring.
Their fear of these outsiders, especially Lin Yun, grew even greater.
At the early stages of level five and possessing such terrifying strength, those dazzling and myriad skills of his — many of which were utterly inconceivable — they had never before considered that battles could be fought in such a manner.
No wonder, this young man had such dreadful subordinates.
Perhaps, this young man is the high-ranking progeny of some powerful civilization.
Some speculated in secret.
That Star Blue gentleman also wasn't too bad.
Some time ago when they had to deal with Star Blue, his strength was quite ordinary, merely at a midterm level five. Now he had advanced to a late stage level six.
His pace of improvement was simply too fast.
The little rebellious seed in their hearts also gradually dissipated as they watched this fight.
...
"Brother Lin, your strength... It's simply terrifying! You are just at the early stages of the Golden Core and yet you already fight toe to toe with me at the late stage of the Domain Realm. You've cultivated so many first to third level martial arts skills. How many have you mastered and reached the peak level?" Star Blue stuck his tongue out as Lin Yun and he walked off the combat arena.
He knew too well: the more first to third level martial arts skills one learned and the more one reached the advanced realm in multiple skills, the more solid the foundation they built in martial arts.
"First to third level martial arts skills... I've learned over five hundred and mastered all of them." Lin Yun smiled and confessed.
"Over five hundred... and you've mastered all of them?" Star Blue's face turned pale, and he gasped in shock.
This... isn't that horrifying?
Many Cosmic Trading System Owners, as long as they have skills at the peak level for each realm, are considered good. If you have two or three skills within the same realm at the peak level, you are considered excellent among the owners of the Cosmic Trading System.
Having over five hundred skills all at the peak level... what does this entail?
If Lin Yun were to further use some region-specific skills, and to further utilize the Cosmic Trading System to maximize their effect, he might need at least five hundred million Spirit Crystals.
That's half a billion Spirit Crystals...
Although Lin Yun had casually given him a hundred million Spirit Crystals, Star Blue was still awe-struck by the magnitude of this number.
Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
The Galactic Civilization, with over fifteen million people, could only provide one and a half Spirit Crystals per day. At this rate, it would require at least a million or two years to accumulate so many Spirit Crystals.
To think, how he once was so proud, it felt ludicrous now.
Well, most of the owners of the Cosmic Trading System he had met were just rather unfortunate.
A day later.
Lin Yun's mental strength had progressed to the early stage of level seven, further increasing his strength.
He did not fight with Star Blue, but he guessed that if he was now to battle against yesterday's Star Blue, he would easily defeat him.
However, that possibility only holds for yesterday's Star Blue. Because, over this day, Star Blue's strength had once more advanced a significant step, already reaching the peak of the Domain Realm.
Star Blue was truly going all out this time.
Normally, he would find it hard to part with so many Spirit Crystals to increase his own strength.
Perhaps, the potential of this planet had excessively intrigued him.
With over thirty billion people, the population here was two to three thousand times more than that of the Galactic Civilization. Moreover, being an accomplished cultivation civilization, the human quality was high with a greater spiritual energy emission than Galactic Civilization's humans.
Of course, in the same period of time, the spiritual energy these people emitted was far less than that of Earth's humans. This was also the reason why Lin Yun had little interest in these individuals.
If, in the same period of time, these people emitted spiritual energy as equivalent to the humans on Earth, Lin Yun would indeed not let go of these individuals.
In total, the spiritual energy provided daily by the thirty billion people here was approximately ten thousand times the amount offered by the fifteen million humans of the Galactic Civilization.
That is to say, they would gain over ten thousand Spirit Crystals a day.
This alone was a horrifying amount of profit.
Compared to the Galactic Civilization, it was thousands, if not millions, of times better.
No wonder Star Blue took it so seriously.
He intended to manage this as his main base.
His original strength was too weak. If Lin Yun had left, he wouldn't have much control over this planet.
Now, his strength, after breaking through to the late stage of the Domain Realm, was barely confident.
His plan was to step up to the seventh level of martial arts, the Dazzling Star Realm. In that case, he would have greater confidence in suppressing the planet.
After lifting his mental strength to the early stage of level seven, Lin Yun planned to leave.
However, after watching his battle with Star Blue, Lin Yuanshan and Zhang Haoran gained a lot. The retreat in the following day gave them a feeling of breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.
Lin Yun had to give up his plan to return.
Two days later, Lin Yuanshan and Zhang Haoran finally made their breakthroughs. One's momentum rose more than three thousand meters high, while the other almost reached three thousand meters. This once again surprised Star Blue.
As a result, Lin Yun's party gained two more Golden Core Martial Artists.
After the two stabilized in the Golden Core Realm, Lin Yun again lifted their mental strength to the early stage of level seven.
Although it cost him a lot, Lin Yun didn't care about this expenditure owing to his abundance of Spirit Crystals.
After all, Lin Yuanshan and Zhang Haoran were people he trusted.
Having their mental strength lifted to level seven, Lin Yuanshan and Zhang Haoran could also control a level-five civilization's battleship individually.
Now, Lin Yun's party could perfectly pilot four level-five civilization spaceships back home.
In a larger space battle, the four level-five civilization battleships could embody a formidable force.
However, Lin Yun didn't do it this way, and was just on the move. Too many battleships together were just a waste of energy.
Moreover, the battleships of a Level Five Technological Civilization weren't what Lin Yun aimed for.
When they became more powerful and their mental strength grew higher, it wouldn't be too late to buy higher-level battleships.
After all, they had Moon One, who possessed the strength of a level-nine cultivator at their disposal. If they encountered a powerful enemy, Moon One could deal with it.
...
In front of a battleship in the Heavenly Bamboo Holy Land,
"Take care, Brother Star Blue!"
"Brother Lin, after everything stabilizes on your end, you can come here more often. Remember, this is also your property!"
Star Blue and Lin Yun said their goodbyes to each other.
Over these days, Star Blue finally broke through to the early stage of the Dazzling Star Realm, and also recruited six level-seven cultivators and ninety-eight level-six cultivators on this planet.
If any escaped, they probably posed no threat.
These days, the planet began to operate preliminarily.
Thanks to the production line for making virtual game helmets that Lin Yun brought.
The production of the virtual game helmets on Earth was already enough. Lin Yun only kept a few production lines, and stored the rest in a trading space.
Originally, Lin Yun intended to trade with the previous owner of the Cosmic Trading System, but the owner had not yet sorted out his things and didn't have many Spirit Crystals in hand. So, Lin Yun kept them in the trading space.
He planned to sell them to the owner when he had enough money.
Until now.
On their way here, Lin Yun had those production lines make some virtual game helmets. These days, he had those production lines work at full capacity to produce virtual game helmets. Until now, they had made more than two billion virtual game helmets.
Now, these more than two billion virtual game helmets were bringing in revenue.
They could obtain eight to nine hundred Spirit Crystals every day.
Star Blue was already quite delighted about this.
Full of vigor.
Before leaving, Lin Yun left those production lines for Star Blue. After Star Blue used them, he would trade them back.
Anyway, they were second-hand after trading and wouldn't depreciate too much.
However, Star Blue insisted on paying the usage fee, paying Lin Yun more than three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals in total.
