Long-Awaited Thing

Demon Hunter Academy, male dormitory.

At this hour, even the most anxious and nervous would begin to fall asleep.

Tomorrow was the expedition. Although the students' tasks would probably only involve some simple work, many still wanted to rest up so they could face the upcoming battle.

Therefore, the brightly lit scene when Su Ming left had subsided somewhat. The lights in most rooms had dimmed, with only a few still burning.

Su Ming's dormitory was clearly not one of those that could hold out.

When Su Ming returned to the dormitory, the boisterous Lei Hao was, as expected, already snoring loudly, and even Ye Bai had fallen asleep while tossing and turning.

Su Ming glanced at his two good-for-nothing friends, then ignored them, climbed into bed, and burrowed under the covers.

However, Su Ming didn't intend to fall asleep just yet.

He closed his eyes, opened the shop interface in his mind, and looked at the rhombus crystal pattern in the lower right corner.

Next to this pattern was a line of numbers: "147365".

Yes!

After throwing all the acquired extraordinary items into the shop, Su Ming had obtained a full 140,000 Crystals!

Looking at the numbers he wouldn't have dared to imagine in the past, Su Ming felt a surge of emotion.

No choice.

147,365 Crystals, calculated at 1,000 Crystals per pack, that was a full 147 packs!

"In the year since I came to this world, I probably haven't opened that many packs in total, have I?"

Su Ming didn't know if he had opened that many packs in total before.

After all, he hadn't specifically counted. Every time he had enough Crystals, he couldn't help but start opening packs.

Anything related to his strength made it almost impossible to control himself.

Therefore, Su Ming didn't know if he had opened that many packs in total this year, but he was sure that he had never opened more than two packs at a time.

This time, he wasn't going to open one or two packs, but a full 147!

That's right, Su Ming planned to spend all his Crystals!

"Save Crystals my ass! Control myself my ass!"

Su Ming desperately needed this wave of packs to enrich his collection and improve his strength as quickly as possible.

In this situation, it was impossible for him to control himself.

"Swish!"

Instantly, packs appeared continuously in Su Ming's inventory, making Su Ming seem to hear a rustling sound.

At this moment, Su Ming didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, he directly spent all 140,000 Crystals at once.

As the number of Crystals changed from "147365" to a rather shabby "365", 147 packs also fell into his inventory, filling it to the brim.

Looking at this pile of packs, Su Ming couldn't help but rub his hands in excitement.

"Should I wash my hands, light some incense, and get rid of all the bad luck before opening them?"

Su Ming thought this, but immediately dismissed the idea.

It was said that fate couldn't be changed by rituals. He had been messed with by two goddess-level school beauties to the point where he was almost sent to his grave. Su Ming didn't believe that he could continue to be unlucky.

"Then let's just open them!"

In fact, Su Ming was very decisive. He did many things as soon as he said he would, never procrastinating.

So, Su Ming opened the first pack.

In the past, when Su Ming opened packs, he would slowly take out the items one by one.

But this time, perhaps because he was rich, or perhaps because he thought there were more than a hundred packs to open later, Su Ming's technique was slightly more violent. He directly took out everything from the entire pack.

To Su Ming's surprise, he pulled out a full five items from the first pack.

A pack would randomly produce 3-5 items, at least three, at most five. Su Ming's first pack produced the maximum of five items, which was indeed a small surprise.

"A good start!"

Su Ming began to look at the items with a pleasant surprise, but then that little surprise disappeared.

Of these five items, three were actually materials from lower Phantasmal Demons, one was a useless alchemical tool, and the other was a potion.

Dragon Blood Elixir (Pseudo): An alchemical potion made by imitating the factors of the legendary dragon. When taken by a Hunter, it will grant power comparable to a dragon for a short period of time.

Out of the five items, only this Dragon Blood Elixir was slightly interesting, but it was only "Pseudo" and not the real thing, giving Su Ming the feeling that he had bottomed out on his first try.

"Whatever, I have a lot of packs this time anyway."

Su Ming's mood was very complicated.

If it were normal times, when he had worked so hard to earn enough Crystals to open a pack, and the result was such a bottom-tier item, it would definitely make Su Ming's lungs explode with anger.

"Keep a calm mind, keep a calm mind..."

Su Ming adjusted his mentality and continued to open packs.

The next period was a rollercoaster of emotions for Su Ming.

Sometimes, Su Ming would unearth truly amazing items, making him beam with joy.

Other times, Su Ming would find things like that world-famous painting from the first package, causing him to grumble and curse.

But as the saying goes, quantity leads to quality. As he opened package after package, Su Ming did indeed uncover many treasures that would cause a huge sensation in the outside world.

For example, in the twelfth package, Su Ming found a bottle of Greater Phantasmal Demon blood. If the Hunter families knew about this, they would definitely fight tooth and nail for it.

Unfortunately, Su Ming already had a bottle of Nightmare Breed blood. This bottle of Phantasmal Demon blood was only from a Hazard Breed, so while it surprised Su Ming, it wasn't a huge deal. He could only put it in his backpack for temporary safekeeping.

Then, in the thirty-seventh package, Su Ming discovered a high-level Spiritual Art.

Myriad Karma Brahma Vista (Eighty-One Forms): A high-level Spiritual Art that alters the weather, thereby manipulating the power of the elements. Whether it's storms, thunder, rain, or even blizzards, one can summon them at will.

Undoubtedly, this was another ridiculously powerful Spiritual Art.

Just from reading the description of this Spiritual Art, Su Ming felt an urge to try it out immediately and see if he could learn the technique.

Of course, even if Su Ming did learn a Spiritual Art of this level, it would probably be like [Fate, Heaven, Earth Shift] – he wouldn't have enough spiritual power to cast it.

But Su Ming still wanted to try.

This round of opening packages had also yielded many good items for increasing spiritual power.

Spiritual Power (Small): Extremely pure, unowned spiritual power. Integrating it into the body can slightly increase the amount of spiritual power, with no side effects.

Spiritual Power (Medium): Extremely pure, unowned spiritual power. Integrating it into the body can moderately increase the amount of spiritual power, with no side effects.

Spiritual Power (Large): Extremely pure, unowned spiritual power. Integrating it into the body can significantly increase the amount of spiritual power, with no side effects.

Su Ming had indeed found quite a few good things like this that could be used to increase his own spiritual power.

Naturally, Su Ming used them all on himself immediately.

Thanks to this, Su Ming could clearly feel the spiritual power within him surging like crazy, now several times greater than before.

Su Ming believed that by the end of this package-opening event, his spiritual power would increase by at least tenfold.

That way, it should be enough to meet the demands of using high-level Spiritual Arts, right?

"I must find a chance to try it out later."

Su Ming decided as he continued to open packages.

The items that came out later didn't really cause much emotional fluctuation for Su Ming.

It wasn't that there weren't any good things, but with the Greater Phantasmal Demon blood and the Eighty-One Forms already in hand, Su Ming wouldn't get too excited about anything else.

However, when he opened the sixty-sixth package, Su Ming found a Hunter-specific weapon, which gave him a pleasant surprise.

But Su Ming couldn't use this weapon yet.

Therefore, Su Ming could only continue to store it away, putting it in his backpack to add to his collection.

In the process, Su Ming continued to open packages, and again found various Spiritual Arts.

There were low-sequence Spiritual Arts, and also some mid-sequence intermediate Spiritual Arts, which were still useful to Su Ming.

Su Ming basically mastered some of the Spiritual Arts with just a glance, and some were even duplicates, which really made Su Ming cry out in dismay.

It wasn't until he opened the one hundred and eighteenth package that a sudden, huge surprise almost made Su Ming jump out of bed.

It was an alchemical potion.

A potion that Su Ming had been waiting for for a long time, had always wanted, but had never found.

Viridian Elixir: An adaptogen that can greatly enhance the recipient's adaptability.

At first glance, this alchemical potion didn't seem like much, and the description on the label felt ordinary.

However, Su Ming knew very well that for many people, the value of such a potion was even greater than that of a Phantasmal Demon Elixir.

There were two reasons for this.

One was its rarity.

To concoct such a potion, one needed to use an extremely rare material, a material so rare that it was considered scarce even in the Spirit Fiend Abyss, let alone in the mortal world, where it was rarely seen even once in decades.

The other was its effect – "greatly enhance the recipient's adaptability."

What did that mean?

"It means that if you have such a potion when taking a Phantasmal Demon Elixir, you can greatly increase your own adaptability and compatibility with the Phantasmal Demon blood!"

In other words, this adaptogen could minimize the probability of failing to take a Phantasmal Demon Elixir!

This was what Su Ming had been waiting for!

The reason he hadn't used that bottle of Nightmare Breed blood was that he hadn't refined it into a Phantasmal Demon Elixir yet, and also because he was worried about the success rate.

As a Sorcerer, the chances of successfully adapting to a Phantasmal Demon Elixir were already frighteningly low, not to mention that Su Ming wanted to take a Phantasmal Demon Elixir made from the blood of a Nightmare Breed, a Greater Phantasmal Demon, which would cause the success rate to plummet even further.

Therefore, Su Ming had been waiting, waiting for himself to find a transcendent item from the packages that would increase the success rate of taking a Phantasmal Demon Elixir.

Now, Su Ming had finally found it.

"It seems that the plan to refine a Phantasmal Demon Elixir can be put on the agenda."

Su Ming was ecstatic, unable to contain his laughter.

"Holy crap!"

"Do you want to scare someone to death in the middle of the night?!"

Lei Hao and Ye Bai next door were startled awake, immediately unleashing a torrent of colorful language.
