Great Increase in Strength

"Injuried?"

Black Light was quite annoyed.

The purple box, which was already considered a sure thing, was lost due to carelessness.

Moreover, there are so many viewers watching the live stream.

Whoosh!

The Black Light vanished.

At the same time.

A long sword, shaped like a crescent moon, silently slashed down towards Su Yuan.

As a streamer who specializes in staying at the level 9 limit, Black Light rarely uses weapons.

Ordinary peak fourth-grade experts are no match for him at all.

Without weapons, one can outmaneuver their opponent using only their agility.

But right now, in order to save face, Black Light is naturally going all out.

Brush!

He swung his Silver Spear, easily blocking the attack.

"Amitabha." The Ascetic Monk also appeared beside him, his palm like a Buddha's palm, and clapped down towards Su Yuan.

But the next moment, the Silver Spear moved like a dragon, easily blocking the Ascetic Monk's palm strike.

Immediately afterwards, the Black Light curved blade slashed down from the sky.

The Bald Giant wielding two hammers also joined the battle without hesitation, participating in the siege of Su Yuan.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Su Yuan's spear moved like a dragon, perfectly blocking the attacks of three peak fourth-rank experts.

Of course, this was achieved not through personal ability.

In terms of Combat Bonus, Su Yuan only achieved a 12x multiplier, which is inferior to Black Light and the Ascetic Monk.

But Su Yuan has Grey Mirror.

Whether it was the Black Light, the Ascetic Monk, or the Bald Giant, Su Yuan knew in advance of every attack they made through the Grey Mirror.

Once you know exactly where and when your opponent's attack will land, defending against it becomes incredibly easy.

Of course, this defensive method is only useful when the strength is roughly equal, or the difference is not too great.

Black Light and the Ascetic Monk were indeed stronger than Su Yuan, but only by a limited margin.

What if you were facing someone far stronger than yourself, such as a master of the upper three ranks?

Even if one knows the timing and attack location of a top-tier expert's move.

It's also very difficult to stop them; the speed of a third-rank expert is too fast. It's perfectly normal for one's mind to know but one's body not to keep up.

"Um?"

As each of his attacks was blocked, the Black Light gradually calmed down.

Despite his full-force attack, Su Yuan not only blocked it, but did so with such ease?

It's important to understand that this wasn't just an attack by themselves; a powerful indigenous ascetic Ascetic Monk of similar strength was also joining the fray, along with Bald Giant was also involved in the encirclement.

Even under these circumstances, Su Yuan still managed to block it.

"Thirteen times! This person's Combat Bonus is probably thirteen times, and it's a thirteen-fold Combat Bonus someone skilled in defense!"

Black Light reached a conclusion in his mind.

He originally thought that Su Yuan was just lucky, seizing an opportunity to launch a sneak attack while Su Yuan was fighting the Ascetic Monk, thus reaping the benefits and obtaining the purple box.

Now it seems that this is not the case; the opponent's strength is also incredibly terrifying.

The fight between Su Yuan and his group naturally attracted the attention of other powerful figures nearby.

The strong individuals still alive at this time are mostly at the fourth rank; those at the fifth or sixth rank have long been eliminated.

"Who was that? Who actually managed to block the combined attack from the Black Light and that Ascetic Monk?"

Some fourth-rank experts found it hard to believe. As a powerful streamer, Black Light naturally knew that the Ascetic Monk had also made several moves, and his strength was terrifying, no less than Black Light's.

As for the weakest Bald Giant, he was still at the peak of the fourth rank, with Combat Bonus of eleven times.

How could such a three-person attack be blocked without causing any injury?

"Fans, that powerful figure who blocked the attack from the three, including Black Light, Combat Bonus of at least thirteen times."

Not far away, the tall and slender streamer Sisi introduced to the viewers in the live stream, "Planetary Lifeform with Combat Bonus must have terrifying real-world talent; it might just be the chosen one of some powerful faction!"

Sisi's tone was quite emotional.

The thirteen-fold boost from Black Light? That's something you grind up over time.

It was all for the sake of the live stream effect, so they deliberately kept it at the level 9 limit.

However, Su Yuan is not a streamer, so there is no need for him to be stuck at the level 9 limit. In other words, the thirteen times Combat Bonus is entirely due to his own talent.

"Hahaha, why don't you join the attack, Sisi?"

"Go and beat up the arrogant prince of a powerful family, Sisi."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

"I'd rather not," Sisi shook her head. "Even if I got involved, it wouldn't be of much use. I might even force them to fight to the death, and then I'd get injured, which would be troublesome."

Want to kill a powerful opponent with a thirteen-fold Combat Bonus? Too difficult.

Even if they could, who would block their final, desperate attack?

It's not worth losing one or two people.

"That's... Brother Wu?"

Mad Blade Qin Mo also noticed this, staring dumbfounded at the effortlessly handling Su Yuan.

"Brother Wu, you're that strong?"

Mad Blade Qin Mo was incredulous. Two months ago, when he first met Su Yuan at the Huayue Pavilion, he thought the other party was just an ordinary fourth-grade expert.

But now?

Is this just a regular fourth-rank rank?

Even at the peak of the fourth rank, it would be difficult to withstand the combined attacks of powerful figures like Black Light for more than a few breaths.

Splash--

With a sudden swing of the spear, Black Light, the Ascetic Monk, and the others were all forced back.

"So? Still want to fight?" Su Yuan asked calmly.

Since he dared to try and snatch that purple box, Su Yuan naturally anticipated everything that would follow.

"You've got some impressive skills, sir. You can have that purple box, I'll take it."

Black Light smiled and spoke.

With Su Yuan's strength, he could easily protect that purple box.

"Amitabha."

The Ascetic Monk clasped his hands together and gave up the idea of snatching the purple box.

Only the Bald Giant remained, his mouth twitching.

Of the three, he was the weakest and participated in the attack on Su Yuan. What if Su Yuan became unhappy later and decided to settle scores with him?

Both sides stopped fighting.

The Black Light moved deeper into the square.

The other powerful individuals, after deeply memorizing Su Yuan and adding him to their list of those they absolutely would not interfere with, also left one after another to find housing.

Brother Wu!

Mad Blade Qin Mo walked over and said with emotion, "I originally thought I could take care of you, Brother Wu, in the ruins, but I didn't expect you to have such strength. I feel like I'm holding you back."

"I'm only good at defense."

Su Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "The <Extreme Yin 36 Forms> are inherently good at defense, and with the Grey Mirror, you can predict the enemy's attack time and location in advance."

For Su Yuan, blocking the combined attack of Black Light and the other two was perfectly normal.

As for offense? Compared to defense, any offense will expose weaknesses, which is why Su Yuan focused solely on defense when surrounded by several people.

"Let's keep exploring."

After chatting for a while, the two began to explore deeper into the square.

Initially, there were many houses around the square, so it was suitable to separate them.

However, now that the number of houses has decreased, and the remaining powerful individuals are all fourth-rank experts, it is natural that they need to join forces to explore.

Rumble--

A booming sound came from deep within the square.

"That is?"

Mad Blade Qin Mo's pupils suddenly contracted.

Let's go take a look.

Su Primordial Spirit calm.

Through the Grey Mirror, he already knew that the booming sound coming from the moment came from that superior martial arts manual.

The most precious treasure in this purple-grade ruin is a superior martial arts manual. Of course, this superior martial arts manual is hidden in a secret room, and the sound of the secret room being opened is what we are hearing now.

Just like the opening of the outer stone door, the opening of the secret chamber entrance also takes some time, so arriving first is meaningless.

A moment later, Su Yuan and Mad Blade Qin Mo arrived at the entrance to the secret room.

A two-meter-high Jade Gate slowly rose up.

Compared to the outer stone gate, this jade Jade Gate is significantly more exquisite, which also implies that the treasures inside are even more precious.

"There's a hidden door? Based on my experience exploring many ruins, the treasure behind this door must be even more valuable."

"Isn't that obvious? I have no experience exploring archaeological sites, yet I can still come to this conclusion."

"I wonder what lies behind the Jade Gate?"

The fourth-rank experts had already arrived, their eyes fixed on the slowly rising Jade Gate.

"Gentlemen, I think we should release a large batch of goods soon," Black Light, who was also standing not far away, couldn't help but say in the live stream, "Could it be some top-tier martial arts manuals?"

Inside those houses outside, there are many mid-level martial arts manuals.

Behind the Jade Gate, the treasures are far more valuable than those outside; there might even be a superior martial arts manual hidden there.

Wow!

Su Yuan's arrival immediately caused a stir among the many fourth-rank experts.

After that battle, Su Yuan became one of the strongest people in the ruins, ranking alongside Black Light, the Ascetic Monk, and others.

"Let's wait and see."

Su Yuan casually found a place to sit cross-legged.

The surrounding fourth-rank experts immediately moved away.

"The Clear Spirit Water has arrived. I'll 'idle' for a bit."

Su Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and his consciousness left the <Shattering the Void> world.

There is still more than half an hour before the Jade Gate is fully opened.

As for "AFK" (away from keyboard), while a character in AFK mode still has basic reactions, their strength is naturally far inferior to that of True Person.

At this point, if they were to be besieged, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Only.

Su Yuan knew through the Grey Mirror that he wouldn't be attacked during the upcoming AFK period.

Through that previous battle, Su Yuan had already established his reputation, and no one dared to provoke him easily.

Blue Star.

Behind the "Ten Thousand Layer Labyrinth" is the royal family of the Canglan Galactic Human Empire, so the rewards for clearing the game were naturally sent very quickly, arriving on Blue Star in just one day.

"A Cosmic Wonder: Clear Spirit Water"

As Su Yuan looked at the Clear Spirit Water before him, he felt his thoughts race and his comprehension improve slightly simply by looking at it.

"Outside the empire, a single serving of Clear Spirit Water costs one billion Canglan Coin. This is the empire's support for strategists. Every citizen who has passed the twentieth level of the labyrinth is already considered a qualified strategist."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Of course, one billion Canglan Coin is the market price. Obtaining a portion of Clear Spirit Water through the channels of the Canglan Galactic Human Empire should be much less expensive.

Even so, it was still extremely extravagant.

Looking at the Clear Spirit Water before me.

Deep within his mind, Su Yuan consulted the Grey Mirror, confirming that taking it would not cause any hidden dangers.

He then swallowed it directly into his mouth.

As the Clear Spirit Water entered his throat, Su Yuan felt a cool, refreshing sensation spreading through his limbs and bones to every part of his body.

Especially in the mind.

At this moment, Su Yuan's thinking was working at an unprecedented speed, and his comprehension was temporarily greatly enhanced. The confusion that he had never been able to understand before was now completely resolved.

"Extreme Yang? Extreme Yin?"

Su Yuan's mind was filled with fragments of the "Extreme Yang 36 Forms" and the "Extreme Yin 36 Forms".

While under the influence of the Clear Spirit Water, Su Yuan gained many new insights into these two spear techniques.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Su Yuan opened her eyes silently.

"I see!"

Su Yuan raised his right hand, and an invisible, scorching aura gathered.

He raised his left hand, and an invisible, chilling aura gathered.

"Extreme Yang Power, Extreme Yin Power."

Looking at his raised hands, Su Yuan smiled.

Even without relying on his marksmanship, he was able to mobilize the Extreme Yang Power and Extreme Yin Power of heaven and earth at this moment.

This is the outward manifestation of a profound understanding of these two cosmic forces.

Many Starry Sky Lifeform have never had this level of understanding.

"Latest body data."

Su Yuan immediately inquired about the Grey Mirror deep within his sea of consciousness.

The Gray Mirror churns and ripples, offering an answer.

[Health Level: 7 (9%)]

[Cultivation Method: Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method]

[Sacred Art: Thought Imprint]

[Spear Technique: Perfected with the Extreme Yang 36 Forms]

[Spear Technique: Perfected with the Extreme Yin 36 Forms]

[Extreme Yang Power: 73%]

[Extreme Yin Power: 73%]

[Combat Bonus: 1734%]

"Your comprehension of both Extreme Yang Power and Extreme Yin Power has reached 73%?"

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face. He had gained insight into the power of the universe, and 70% of the impact was a qualitative change.

"Reaching 70%, through the understanding of cosmic forces, one can mobilize corresponding cosmic forces even without relying on any external force."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

This is also why he gathered extreme Yang and Yin energy with his bare hands just now.

In the past, this would have required practicing marksmanship.

Of course, if one can mobilize both extreme Extreme Yin Power with bare hands, then once one begins practicing spear techniques, the extreme Extreme Yang Power that one can mobilize will only be more immense.

"1734% Combat Bonus."

Su Yuan looked at his Combat Bonus, "The threshold for a top-tier (Upper Three Rank) expert's Combat Bonus is 1500%, which means I'm already a top-tier (Upper Three Rank) expert?"

Su Yuan's thoughts raced.

Normally, Starry Sky Lifeform, with its powerful mental will and control over its body, can unleash a 15-fold Combat Bonus, making it a top-tier expert in the Shattering the Void World.

Starry Sky Lifeform is a top-tier expert, but not everyone who is a top-tier expert is Starry Sky Lifeform.

The boost to Combat Bonus can be achieved through mental willpower or through the perception of a certain cosmic force.

However, the latter is extremely rare, requiring a level of understanding beyond that of Starry Sky Lifeform during the Planetary Lifeform stage, only then can the gap between spiritual will and spiritual will be overcome.

It's difficult to imagine that Starry Sky Lifeform could completely overwhelm Planetary Lifeform, let alone surpass Starry Sky Lifeform in terms of understanding.

"With a seventeen or eighteen-fold Combat Bonus, even a newly advanced expert in the upper three ranks is no match for me."

Su Yuan has a clear understanding of his own abilities.

With only a 15x Combat Bonus, compared to a 17x or 18x Combat Bonus, the former is definitely no match for the latter.

I've gotten used to the 17-18x Combat Bonus.

Su Yuan's heart stirred slightly:

"The time has come. The jade Jade Gate is about to open. It's time to return to the Shattering the Void World."
