The Path of Circulation

"The regional system has been updated, meaning the environment within the region will become like the Land of Darkness, chaotic, and harsh environment outside."

The environment outside the Land of Darkness is such that anyone with Attribute of 18 or lower will find it nearly impossible to move, and even a few extra steps could result in a fatal fall. Only those with Attribute of 20 or higher, along with some special skills, are qualified to travel far, but the risks are still very high.

But risks and opportunities go hand in hand. The monsters in the area are already a bit outdated, and the Out-of-Zone Exploration promoted by the Mutual Aid Association has been going poorly due to the area barriers. Now all areas will become the original environment of the Land of Darkness, which may not necessarily be a bad thing for Zone 76.

This may not be the case for other regions. Regions with lagging development can only be continuously attacked, leading to a vicious cycle of development and eventually turning them into Dead Zones.

"And then there's... the Career Advancement System preview. This is great! It should be the key to breaking through level 10. The Survival System has a tier every five levels, but hopefully it won't be as frustrating as the Trial Instance."

Su Luo read it word by word, sentence by sentence.

"Career Advancement Qualification requires entering Large Dungeons to compete for qualifications. Qualification?"

"Does obtaining this qualification guarantee a direct advancement in your profession, or is it subject to additional trials?"

Back then, leveling up from Level 5 to level 6 involved completing Dungeons within a region to obtain Class Change certificate, and then proceeding through Trial Instance.

The Large Dungeons here should involve battling other Survivors in the Survival World who need to advance their professions, competing for something similar to Class Change certificate.

In other words, it's very likely that we'll have to fight against the Rainbow Badge from various worlds, and the Rainbow Badge Forbidden Existence of the Forbidden Existence...

After all, when Su Luo Class Change, her early development was weak, and she did not become one of the first Class Change in Darkness Survival.

However, based on the current development, they are likely to become among the first batch of professional advancers, and their development speed is also catching up from behind, showing great progress.

In this survival arena filled with hanging debris, Su Luo has finally secured a place for herself.

After glancing at the last update and ignoring some of the system's ramblings, Su Luo opened the shop, wanting to see what the Daily Specials were.

Su Luo doesn't have many uses for the shop. The only things she can use directly are upgrading items with Survival Coins. The things she can use indirectly are the materials and various potions Mutual Aid Association, and occasionally, there are buildings that can be used outside the Sanctuary.

Fortunately, Su Luo can use this Daily Special feature.

[Daily Special]

[Description: Wearing these underwear will bring you unparalleled pleasure.]

[Special Offer 2: Explosive Helmet]

[Special Offer 3: Top-grade Spirit Stones ]

[300000SC]

[Description: The currency of a certain cultivation world... Don't you want to cultivate immortality? Maybe you'll even get cultivation techniques later?]

"It's a bit strange, but these things weren't originally in the store, so it's a way of expanding the variety of goods."

Ignoring the second special offer, Su Luo bought the third special offer first, and a crystal-clear Spirit Stone fell into her palm. The Spirit Stone emitted a warm light, and there was a faint flow of Qi inside.

He casually stuffed it into his Qi storage. He brought back some Qi during the Continued Battle, but he couldn't have too much.

Then, out of curiosity, he bought the discounted item, wanting to see just how powerful the 23 million worth of underwear really was—it was worth several high-level, Perfect -quality items.

Su Luo summoned a Xiao Xiao Luo and tossed it the [Supreme Bliss Underwear], indicating that it should put it on.

It was a little hesitant, but after being glared at by Su Luo, it obediently put it on.

"Hiss-ha-ha--" Xiao Xiao Luo, the experimental subject, instantly contorted her expression, her mouth wide open, her eyes rolling back, and her entire body began to violently grotesquely move.

"Oh!! That feels so good, so good!!"

"Mother--"

Its voice grew sharper and faster, and its body surface began to disintegrate, with cracks Spread from its core throughout its body.

Blood gushed from the crack, splattering a dark red stain on the lab table. Reaching the body's limit in an instant, it was actually forced to—

That was awesome!

Su Luo's lips twitched. She took the underwear back, examined it carefully, and discovered that it was an item from the Faith Side.

"It feels like these might be underwear worn by some deity associated with emotions... This Daily Special is like a junkyard, scavenging weird stuff from other places. I should try to buy as many as possible each day, just to collect material."

After hesitating for a moment, Su Luo still saved the [Supreme Bliss Underwear] into her research materials.

For the sake of Truth, even a mere pair of underwear is worth the sacrifice.

"Yun Xiaoxiao, you can try the Faith Side. This path doesn't require too much brainpower, and I happen to have a blank divine Godhead."

Su Luo suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke to the Clone left behind by Yun Xiaoxiao beside her.

Yun Xiaoxiao's Clone quickly took a step back, crossing her arms in front of her chest in a defensive stance.

"You want me to study underwear, right?"

Su Luo smiled but did not answer.

He finished up his other tasks and then browsed the World Channel. The channel was still bustling with activity, as Survivors returning from the District War and Continued Battles were spamming the chat, sharing their experiences and takeaways.

Su Luo glanced at it a few times, but didn't find any valuable information, so she closed the panel.

Next, it's time to improve our strength.

The path of Inner Circulation must be continued. As Su Luo's most important unified energy source, Source Essence still has a long way to go.

The Inner Circulation is a system, a whole theory. The types of energy Cycle within it can increase or change, but the Inner Circulation remains constant; this is the law.

What I learned before were all techniques. Those Spells, skills, and cultivation methods were all techniques.

Techniques can be changed, modified, or discarded. But the underlying principles are the foundation, the framework, and what supports the techniques.

Strictly speaking, Outer Circulation is a technique that complements Inner Circulation. It involves refining the internal Cycle and applying it to the outside world; it is a combat skill.

The energy of the Inner Circulation is projected onto the outside world, forming a field, creating Spell, and thus forming attack and defense. Without the Inner Circulation, the Outer Circulation is empty.

Now, Su Luo plans to Optimization energy storage and energy retrieval within the framework of the Inner Circulation system.

Energy storage is simple; Su Luo's [Storage Conversion] is Perfect capable of handling it. The Source Essence that condenses into a crystalline entity is the thing with the highest unit energy content that Su Luo has ever seen.

Moreover, [Storage Conversion] can continuously evolve, and Su Luo can gradually learn the relevant technologies, which is quite enjoyable.

Energy acquisition is another issue. Su Luo plans to use Technology Side approach as the main method, integrating the characteristics of other systems, since the main focus of the Continued Battle is technology.

By continuing to integrate the Constant Spell, along with the various Spells collected Continued Battle and the Zerg bloodline Spells, the path of the Constant Spell can be roughly described as follows.

Su Luo moved the Laboratory outside of Zone 76, called out Xiao Luo to assist her, and began the Inner Circulation improvement process.

A mysterious energy vortex appeared in the Land of Darkness. Not only Mana, but also wandering Divine Power, turbulent elements, and even some gases were falling into that area, briefly changing the surrounding landscape, like a greedy beast endlessly devouring heaven and earth.

This improvement process seemed to take an exceptionally long time.
