"This monster's efficiency is way too low; it's supposed to be a red cesium-class black hole, after all."
Having leveled up twice and increased his strength several times over, Gao Yuntian said smugly.
"Red cesium-class black holes don't necessarily produce high-level monsters; it's just that red cesium black holes persist for a longer period compared to other black holes."
After hearing Gao Yuntian's words, Bai Hai gave a serious explanation.
Everyone stared at Bai Hai speechlessly. Was this guy really that naive?
"What's wrong?" Bai Hai asked, puzzled.
"I mean, is it possible that Old Gao was just talking nonsense?" Liu Hang.
Bai Hai coughed lightly. "Ahem, sorry, it's a habit."
He is the class's academic representative, has excellent grades in humanities subjects, and is kind-hearted. Students often ask him for help when they have questions.
Over time, he developed a personality trait of being fond of giving advice.
He will explain things carefully whenever someone asks, and he will always provide answers to any questions.
Magic Mage inherently focus on Divine Power. Although this guy hasn't reached the level of Photographic Memory, his efficiency and quantity in acquiring knowledge are indeed far superior to Gao Yuntian and the others.
"It seems like nothing's happening anymore!" Chai Zhiwei said, pointing to the black hole.
"Be careful, everyone. Based on the pattern of most new black holes spawning monsters, it seems like a high-level Magical Beast is about to appear," Bai Hai warned.
"It would be best to retreat a bit now to leave room for maneuver."
The others nodded, agreeing that it made sense, and each took a few steps back.
Only Ling Yi remained in front of the black hole, staring blankly at it.
" Ling Yi!" Lin Xiaoxiao called out.
Ling Yi glanced back at her and said, "It's alright, I'll stay ahead so I can draw the monster's aggro in advance."
"But wouldn't it be safer to wait until we determine the new Magical Beast's rank before deciding whether to pull it?" Bai Hai asked, puzzled.
"It's alright, the next wave of monsters won't be too strong, I can handle it."
After saying that, Ling Yi turned his head back and continued to stare blankly at the black hole.
While claiming to be daydreaming, Ling Yi was actually checking the system interface.

[Task Interface]
[Main Quest Part 1: Take the college entrance examination and be admitted to Yue City Taibian University. Reward: 100,000 experience points, 1 Bronze treasure chest.]
[Side Quest: Level up to level 2, reward: +1 skill slot!]
The previous side quest has been completed, and the passive skill " Wireless Charging " has been awarded as a reward.
After studying it for a while, Ling Yi roughly understood the function of this skill.
To give a very simple example.
If this Infinite Charging skill is bound to the Infinite Magic Bullet skill, then when the Infinite Magic Bullet skill is triggered, it will release double the number of magic projectiles.
The number of magic bullets instantly increased from 17 to 34.
This is just one layer; what if there were a dozen layers? Wouldn't that create an absolutely explosive scene?
Furthermore, Ling Yi has already bound the " Infinite Magic Bullet " skill, so let's just leave it bound for now. If it doesn't work, we can just change the skill binding later.
However, just like the Infinite Health Recovery skill, I don't know how to upgrade the skill rewarded by the system.
The new side quest rewards you with skill slots.
Perhaps it was the introduction of side quests that led to some Changes in the system interface.
Ling Yi then realized that passive skills could not be learned indefinitely; the skill slots were finite.
I wonder if the passive skill can be changed once the skill slot is full.
If you can't change it, then next time you get a new skill, you'll have to think more carefully instead of just picking it up and learning it randomly.
Just as Ling Yi and his companions were waiting for the black hole to spawn new monsters, the flying boat that had previously brought them to the Neiping Wasteland Ling Yi appeared above their heads.
However, it merely hovered above their heads and did not make any other movements.
Inside the main control room of the spacecraft, dozens of staff members were busy at their respective workstations.
In front of each person is a projection screen, which displays various data or rows of surveillance footage.
Although the technological rules of this world are suppressed, humanity has still managed to create all sorts of amazing Formation, Formation Pattern, Magic Runes, and magic circles.
For hundreds of years, human research has never ceased.
In terms of skills, there has been almost no progress due to the influence of the rules.
However, it has made remarkable achievements in the study of various energies and rules.
"The development of civilization is essentially the development of energy utilization technology. We have learned to utilize Spiritual Power, magic, and various Genki and Profound Qi."
But we don't actually need these.
In front of the largest display screen in the main control room, an elderly man in a white coat looked at the data displayed on the screen and spoke in a low voice.
The middle-aged man beside him, dressed in dark gold cesium armor, nodded expressionlessly.
He is the city lord of Red City and the commander-in-chief of the City Guard Army.
Similarly, Xiang Wanxiong, the commander-in-chief of this flying ship, was a cultivator of spirit, demon, and Spiritual Cultivation had reached the Late Golden Core Realm, his Magic Cultivation had reached the Ninth-Tier Mage Venerable, Soul Cultivation had reached the First-Tier Soul Ancestor.
The strongest and most Authority person in Red City.
"Yes, what truly invades our world is not the monsters, but the invasion of various energies, the invasion of the rules."
The old man sighed. His name was Xiang Hongyu, and he was Xiang Wanxiong's uncle. Like Ling Yi, he was also an exceptional individual.
However, Xiang Hongyu, with his genius-level intellect, became the most powerful scientist in the entire Ancient Country, and even the entire Blue Star.
Single-handedly, he propelled the Blue Star from a technologically advanced civilization to a nation focused on leisure and relaxation.
For example, nowadays, Formation, weapon crafting, alchemy, and a brand-new medical system for cultivation civilizations, etc.
Without Old Xiang, human cities would lack protective Formation, humans would be unable to utilize powerful weapons and equipment, and various healing potions and elixirs would be impossible to obtain.
It could even be said that without Old Xiang, humanity might not have been able to withstand the invasion of monsters from countless black holes until now.
Although Old Xiang himself could not cultivate, he was a pioneer of the cultivation civilization.
"Since the last Satellite fell from space 150 years ago, even the last remaining trace of technological civilization has been completely erased," Old Xiang sighed.
"And these invading rules are influencing and assimilating each other. We humans don't have much time left. By the time the rules are completely stable..."
At this point Old Xiang paused, not continuing, but his eyes were filled with endless worry.
"According to your calculations, how much longer?" Xiang Wanxiong asked.
Old Xiang shook his head. "At most ten years, these rules of invasion will complete the first stage, which is the initial Fusion stage."
"At that time, apart from Spiritual Cultivation, all other Body Refining will be unable to continue due to the influence of the rules. It's just a pity that those old fogies don't believe in this."
At this point, a deep sense of disappointment flashed in Old Xiang's eyes.
"It's not that they don't believe, but rather that there are too few resources for Spiritual Cultivation. They fear that if everyone engages in Spiritual Cultivation, there won't be enough resources to distribute."
"It's ridiculous. Once the First Tier is completed, Spiritual Power will become the main power system in this world, and all other powers will be devoured by Spiritual Power."
" Spiritual Power is the energy system with the highest level of rules among all power systems. The process of rule Fusion is also the process of Spiritual Power absorbing, assimilating, and transforming other energies."
" Spiritual Cultivation is the only way out."
"Once the entire power system is fully Fusion, we will enter the second stage."
"At that time, what will invade Blue Star may no longer be these monsters, but the entire civilization behind the black hole."
"Ten years?" Xiang Wanxiong murmured after a moment of contemplation, "After this assessment, I'll go back to Taibian University with you!"
" Taibian is no longer a university; it has been downgraded and become Taibian College," Old Xiang said with a wry smile.
"Besides, are you really willing to give up your current power and status?"
"You know I don't care about these things, but before I leave, some dregs need to be cleared away first."
Old Xiang didn't speak, but just sighed helplessly.
"Third Uncle, there's no need to sigh. We'll just do what we can."
After saying this, the two remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, Xiang Wanxiong asked, "What do you think of this Ling Yi?"
"I don't understand. He's clearly an insulator, yet he can cultivate. I don't understand how he does it."
"Moreover, he is getting stronger; clearly, he has found a completely new path of cultivation."
After thinking for a moment, Old Xiang added, "Just like this newly emerged red cesium-level black hole, it is also a completely new power system."
"You level up by killing monsters; it's a very interesting rule."
Meanwhile, a flying boat each flew out from nearby Ling City, Great Wind City, and Red Leaf City.
Our destination was this desolate, Neiping Wasteland.
A brand new black hole, especially one containing a completely new Body Refining, is of great value.
They all monitored the data here and wanted to come and Probe.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already begun a new round of monster hunting.
