Soul Skill: World-Cleansing Radiance
Su Mu stared blankly for several seconds at the screenshot of the order sent by Ye Qingxue.
Extraction code: A-grade Golden Lion Beast. Also includes a random Soul Skill book.
He took a deep breath and refreshed the page again. There was indeed a new record pending withdrawal in his account, with the card name, number, and source of authorization clearly displayed.
We really got our hands on it.
Su Mu leaned against the headboard, his finger hovering over the screen for a moment, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He had only wanted Ye Qingxue to help him find a few B-grade substitutes, but she had directly provided him with an A-grade one. Although he would have to pay her, this was beyond what the word "help" could encompass.
He thought about it and decided not to collect it at home.
The platform's rules are very clear: the earliest delivery will be tomorrow afternoon, and with the college entrance exam just around the corner, he can't afford to wait.
So he clicked on the pickup option and changed the pickup point to the nearest professional services center. There are self-service pickup lockers there, open 24 hours a day, so he could pick it up in one trip.
After doing all that, he switched back to the chat window and typed. "Thanks. I really don't know what to say."
Ye Qingxue replied quickly, "No need to thank me. We started from different points. I awakened at SSS level, while you only have an F-grade stone. I don't want to win against someone who's held back by resources. I want to win against someone at their peak."
Su Mu's lips twitched as he looked at the words.
This young lady has already funded over ten million for him; to be honest, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to seriously lose to her once.
However, he also knew that this was just Ye Qingxue's personality.
She never asks others to give her anything, nor does she want anyone to owe her anything.
She helps you sincerely; but when she wins against you, she must win fair and square.
If Su Mu falls behind due to insufficient resources, she would feel that his victory was unfair.
Su Mu didn't say much, just replied with a "Okay," and then put his phone aside.
He remembered this favor.
Calm your mind.
Su Mu got up, put on his coat, and pushed open the door. In the living room, his aunt was sitting on the sofa folding clothes. Hearing the noise, she looked up at him.
"Going out so late?"
"Go to the Professionals' Hall and pick up something," Su Mu said.
"Go get something?" Auntie's smile held a meaningful tone. "Go on, go on. You're a big kid now, it's time for you to have your own social interactions."
Su Mu knew immediately that she had misunderstood. Ye Qingxue had just called, and his aunt had heard everything clearly. Now, she was probably thinking, "Xiao Mu is dating someone."
"Auntie, I went to the Professional Hall for some training," Su Mu explained earnestly, "I'm getting dungeon materials."
"Yes, yes, study, study." Auntie nodded repeatedly, her smile undiminished. "Go on, come back early, don't miss tomorrow's college entrance exam."
Su Mu opened his mouth, thought about it, and then gave up.
The more you try to explain, the worse it gets.
He quickly went out. As he took the elevator downstairs, he could still feel his aunt's smiling gaze behind him.
West City Gate Professional Service Hall.
Even at 8 pm, there were still many people.
Su Mu walked to the pickup area, verified his identity by scanning his face, and two sealed boxes slid out from the pickup slot.
He opened the first box, inside which lay a skill book gleaming with a pale golden light—a random-quality soul skill book. The second box was slightly larger; inside, a dark gold card lay quietly.
Golden Lion Beast.
On the card, a giant golden lion stands with its head held high, its mane flamboyant like flames, its four paws treading on a dark golden halo, and its vertical pupils exuding a sense of oppression.
The card design alone is several levels higher than those E-rank and D-rank beast cards.
Su Mu stored the two cards in his Soul Space, turned around and walked out of the hall. On his way home, he walked much faster than he had on the way there.
When he arrived at his doorstep, he took a deep breath and pushed the door open. His aunt was sitting in the living room watching TV, waiting for him. When she saw him return, she looked up with a mischievous smile on her face.
"You're back so soon? Why didn't you stay out a little longer?"
Su Mu blushed and said, "Auntie, I just went to pick up something."
"Did it take you so long to get your things?" Auntie snapped a string bean in half, her tone tinged with amusement. "You two must have gone to cheer each other on, right? It's the college entrance exam tomorrow, so it's normal to encourage each other."
Su Mu was utterly speechless.
"Auntie, I'm going to rest." He gave up struggling and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Behind me came my aunt's laughter. "Alright, alright, go ahead. You've grown up, you've grown up."
Su Mu closed the bedroom door, leaned against the door panel, took a deep breath, shook his head, and walked to the bedside to sit down.
He first took out the random quality soul skill book.
Without hesitation, Su Mu channeled his spiritual energy into it.
The light suddenly intensified, changing from pale gold to deep gold, and then from deep gold to dazzling bright gold, bathing his entire room in a golden glow.
The same S-rank radiance as last time.
Su Mu stared at the golden light, his heart skipped a beat.
As the golden light faded, a piece of information flooded into my mind.
[Soul Skill: World-Cleansing Radiance]
[Grade: S]
[Consumes: 500 points of Momentum]
[Cooldown: 15 minutes]
[Effect: Removes all negative status effects from a single target, including poison, burning, bleeding, curse, weakness, slow, silence, fear, and all other abnormal effects. It is not restricted by the target's or the caster's level; negative status effects of any level can be removed.]
[Note: Purification-type Soul Skill. Can be used on a single friendly target. Cannot remove positive buffs, cannot be used on enemies.]
Su Mu stared at the panel, stunned for several seconds.
Not subject to rank restrictions.
What does this mean? It means that even negative status effects inflicted by SSS-level monsters can be removed with this skill without any suppression.
It's important to know that normal purification-type soul skills are subject to rank suppression.
Low-level soul skills have an extremely low success rate when trying to remove high-level negative status effects, or they require consuming several times the Momentum Points, and may even fail outright. But World-Cleansing Radiance has no such limitations.
In someone else's hands, this would just be an S-rank support skill.
But in Su Mu's hands, his Little Drill Wind and White Bone Spirit often had to challenge hell-level BOSSes that were far above their level. The poison mist, burning, curses, and fear of those BOSSes were all deadly negative statuses.
With the World-Cleansing Radiance, he had an extra trump card to save his life.
Su Mu took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
Then he looked at the A-rank Golden Lion Beast card in his hand.
My Soul Power hasn't recovered yet.
He hasn't done his meditation this morning, so his Soul Power pool is currently empty.
There was no way to embed it immediately. Su Mu thought for a moment, then put the card back into his Soul Space, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest.
