Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 203 Force Field
A bag of Source Crystals!
It's no surprise that these must be the spoils of war accumulated by these people as they explored Blood Moon Canyon and killed monsters along the way.

Although only red and blue glows can be seen inside the bag, the value of these items is still immeasurable for the current seasonal floaters.

Dozens of mutated wolf spiders surrounded them, and Ji Fuyou dared not venture deeper into their territory no matter what.

but……

He possesses the Wuji Sword.

"call out!"

The next moment, the Wuji Sword pierced through the air, traversing hundreds of meters between itself and the backpack with incredible speed, precisely and skillfully pulling the bundle along. After making a turn, it headed straight in his direction.

The sudden change instantly alerted the thirty-odd mutated wolf spiders.

Half of them let out a piercing cry, changed direction, and rushed straight towards where Ji Fuyou was.

Some mutated tarantulas even leaped about, trying to intercept the Wuji Sword in mid-air.

However, during this period, Ji Fuyou's understanding of sword control techniques improved significantly, and coupled with the stability brought about by his spiritual transformation, he was able to wield the flying sword very smoothly.

Even when mutated wolf spiders attacked from time to time, Ji Fuyou skillfully dodged them by controlling the Wuji Sword.

Under the relentless pursuit of more than a dozen mutated wolf spiders, the Wuji Sword, carrying its bundle, flew close to the ground. After rushing over a hundred meters in an instant, it suddenly rose higher. When it reached a height of a hundred meters, the sword tip turned and then plummeted down.

Before the flying sword fell, Ji Fuyou had already sprinted up. In a flash, he leaped onto a large tree, and with his toes landing on a branch for leverage, he soared into the sky, instantly reaching a height of tens of meters, and directly grabbed the Wuji Sword and the package it came with.

A large number of mutated wolf spiders hissed and gathered in the area where Ji Fuyou was about to land.

But as the dense mist dissipated from Ji Fuyou's body, and his figure uncontrollably plummeted towards the ground, a spatial fluctuation flashed...

"Squeak!"

After a dozen or so mutated wolf spiders charged forward with bared fangs and claws, they simply passed through the fog without any confrontation.

The dozen or so mutated tarantulas all missed their target; no one else could be seen in the mist.

Even as the thick fog gradually dissipated, the area remained empty, and the human figure vanished completely amidst the monsters' encirclement.

Without a target, the mutated wolf spiders hissed unwillingly, circled around for a while, and finally had to disperse.

them……

They also have their own tasks.

Besides hunting down all the cultivators who have left Rainbow Sun City, the goal is to conquer Rainbow Sun City...

At the very least, they must restrain the forces in Rainbow Sun City, preventing them from paying attention to the great being who is escaping from Blood Moon Canyon.

This is the most important part of their mission.

……

Outside the Misty Forest.

The already dense fog seemed to be blown about by a strong wind, churning and swirling.

As the mist surged past, a figure suddenly plummeted from mid-air.

It was Ji Fuyou.

3 times...

To be precise, his physical abilities were six or seven times that of an average person, along with his extraordinary mental perception, which allowed him to adjust his balance in mid-air before even touching the ground.

Upon landing, the foot bent, and then a roll was performed, easily dissipating the impact of falling from a height of tens of meters.

As the impact dissipated, his spirit also spread like a tide.

This time, instead of exploring in one direction, it spread like a large net, rapidly sweeping across a 200-meter diameter area around him.

This area...

Just a straw man.

His landing seemed to have startled the straw man, causing him to stagger and head in this direction.

But Ji Fuyou didn't even glance at the straw man. He grabbed the bundle, and the Wuji Sword shot out.

After a moment, his expression turned somewhat strange.

With a few strides, they reached a distance of several dozen meters and actually found a white physical source crystal on the straw man.

"Even the lowest-level monsters can drop Source Crystals."

Good luck.

It's at least 1000 million...

The price of this treasure has gradually dropped to 800 million.

Who would refuse 800 million yuan for free?
After killing the straw man, Ji Fuyou turned his attention to the bundle in his hand.

As he opened the bundle, the red and blue lights inside dazzled him.

He couldn't wait to identify each of the source crystals and quickly obtained the data.

"A total of 31 crystals, including 15 red physical source crystals, 3 red spiritual source crystals, and 13 blue spiritual source crystals. As for blue physical source crystals... there are none."

31 source crystals!
The worst ones are all blue spiritual source crystals!

Market value: 10 billion!

This entire bundle of Yuanjing crystals is worth over 600 billion!
If a spiritually gifted individual with high spiritual aptitude were to use it, it would be enough to cultivate their spiritual consciousness to the point where they could obtain a senior professional title based on their spiritual aptitude.

This level...

Excluding the military, the entire Federation probably only has a few hundred people on the surface.

"The red and blue physical source crystals are no longer useful to me, but the red spiritual source crystal..."

Ji Fuyou glanced at it.

Without hesitation, he took one out.

There is basically no danger on the outskirts of the Misty Forest.

Having already mentally scanned the area to ensure safety, he took out the Source Crystal and began absorbing its energy without hesitation.

The next moment, a cool sensation filled my mind again.

However, unlike the icy coldness that felt like the soul was frozen when his mental scale was below 30 points, this time, although the chill still carried a bone-chilling sensation, his tolerance for it had increased considerably.

He could even precisely sense how this power tempered and nourished his spirit.

But this is not a good thing. It only means that the red spiritual crystal's effect on his mental enhancement is getting worse and worse.

After a dozen seconds, the chill gradually faded.

After digesting and adapting for another minute or two, he finally managed to sense himself.

"30.7."

It only increased by 0.5.

"The effect was indeed much worse."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

However, a growth rate of 0.5% is already much better than he expected.

His worst-case scenario was actually only 0.4, thankfully...

His "qualifications" seem to be quite good.

Without hesitation, he began absorbing the remaining two red spirit source crystals.

A few minutes later, he digested the two spirit source crystals again.

30.7 → 31.5.

The remaining two red spirit source crystals provided him with 0.8 units of spiritual growth.

However, Ji Fuyou could sense it.

The growth was very weak; even the value of the second source crystal, 0.4, showed very weak growth.

If the perception of mental energy values ​​could be more detailed, the current mental energy value would be 31.47, or even 31.46.

It was only because his perception wasn't precise enough that he could vaguely arrive at the value of 31.5.

"After refining one or two more red spirit source crystals, the growth value will drop to 0.2 units. After refining two more... at a value of approximately 32.5 units, a single red source crystal will only bring a gain of 0.1 units..."

This kind of benefit...

It's not worth it anymore.

"I can refine a maximum of four more red spirit source crystals. If I want my spirit scale to increase significantly, I'll have to switch to purple spirit source crystals."

Ji Fuyou said slowly.

Red spiritual crystals are rarely found on the market.

The Association of Mental Abilities always keeps one or two of these as treasures, keeping them as a guide for the high-level mental abilities who serve the Association.

If someone really wants to exchange them in large quantities, there will be a shortage immediately.

If even red spiritual crystals are like this, then purple spiritual crystals...

Once such supplies appear, they are either used immediately without anyone knowing, or they quickly fall into the hands of several speakers in a series of power struggles.

Let alone ordinary people, even master-level martial artists probably don't have the qualifications to come into contact with it.

More than 90% of high-level spiritual energy users cannot even get a glimpse of the purple spiritual source crystal, let alone find out any information about it.

Ji Fuyou didn't think much of it and quickly focused his mind on himself.

The spirit value has reached 31.5.

So……

The next moment, Ji Fuyou's spirit and strength seemed to be merged into one.

A strange reaction seemed to occur between the materialized spirit and the instinctive protective force within the body.

All the flow of energy, under the interference of mental power like "controlling objects," was polished into countless incredibly fine and smooth surfaces.

Each of these smooth surfaces is extremely small; it seems an ordinary person could puncture it with their finger.

But when these smooth surfaces are layered one after another, adding dozens, even hundreds of layers, and...

When it operates along a special trajectory and at a special angle, a powerful special force field is instantly formed, seemingly capable of "slipping away" or "deflecting" any attack.

Moreover, this force field overlaps with one's own protective energy, so it will not cause any unnecessary interference to daily life.

As long as a cultivator's mental strength is strong enough, he can even sustain it for a very long time.

In other words, this force field is not the kind that needs to be activated suddenly when an attack occurs.

Instead, once activated, he maintains the force field with minimal mental exertion.

The duration of the buff can be chosen by the practitioner based on their own rate of mental energy depletion.

"Deflection field!"

Ji Fuyou sensed this power and began to calculate the defensive strength of this force field.

He quickly came to a conclusion.

The physical and mental components account for 30%.

Adding the two together, 30% is calculated using Ji Fuyou's own data, which is 19.74, and rounding it up, it's 20 points of defense.

His base physique of 34.3 provides defense, the Ghost Silk Inner Armor provides 11 points of defense, plus the Deflection Field...

His total defense value soared to 65 points.

Moreover, when he unleashes his Overlord form and rampages across the world, he can gain a 5-10 point physique bonus based on his charging speed and running speed.

In other words, his defense can reach 70-75 points when he has his maximum burst.

This kind of defense...

Even if he were to be attacked by the full force of the swords and blades wielded by Feng Yu Lou, Xiao Jiu Ge, and others, he would still dare to charge straight into them.

"Finally, I have a powerful protective skill."

A faint smile appeared on Ji Fuyou's face.

Thanks to the power of this skill, his defensive capabilities surpassed his offensive capabilities for the first time.

"My strength has increased significantly, and the source crystals from this bag have played a crucial role... It seems that once my strength improves further, I'll need to find an opportunity to deliver that message to Rainbow Sun City..."

Ji Fuyou pondered in his heart.

After gaining some familiarity with the wonders of deflecting force fields, he didn't linger any longer and left the Misty Forest.
