Advancing to Ninth Order—Boom!
Wang Tao shattered the Eighth Order dark beast with a single punch and skillfully put away the loot it dropped. Looking at the crystal cores in his Space Backpack, Wang Tao sighed.
"I've killed so many Eighth Order Elemental Monsters, but I'm still far short on crystal cores..."
To advance to Ninth Order, Wang Tao needed to max out the other four Basic Attributes besides mana.

Twenty Eighth Order crystal cores could be combined into three Eighth Order crystal cores with 100% purity. Therefore, to gather 400 Eighth Order crystal cores at 100% purity, Wang Tao needed a total of 2,680 basic Eighth Order crystal cores!
Although an Eighth Order Elemental Monster could drop four Basic Attribute crystal cores, plus the crystal cores in its loot orbs, that made eight in total. Even so, Wang Tao still had to hunt 335 Eighth Order creatures! Wang Tao was certain that there absolutely were not that many Eighth Order Elemental Monsters in the world right now.
