Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Before we knew it, it was the next day.

Xiao Yun slowly woke up and was slightly taken aback when he saw the Peppa Pig on his body.

"Who covered me with the blanket?"

He turned his head and saw the juice, bread, and a few vitamin pills on the side, and suddenly realized what was going on.

"Su Muqing has been here."

Xiao Yun smiled, glanced at the time, and realized it was not yet six o'clock in the morning.

"She's probably still asleep, let's not disturb her."

Xiao Yun placed the blanket behind him, leaned back on the throne, found a comfortable position, picked up his juice and took a few sips, then picked up his bread and started munching on it while checking yesterday's settlement rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully surviving one day. Today's rewards are being calculated.]

Today, you successfully defeated a powerful enemy...

Overall rating: 66 points, reward being distributed:

Congratulations on obtaining 1 Small Home Expansion Card, 1 Small Backpack Expansion Card, 1 Compost Bin Crafting Blueprint, and 1 Small Pack of Cotton Seeds!

The settlement rewards are pitifully small, with only a small bag of cotton seeds being of any use.

"What a low score... but it's reasonable. Killing a fellow ninth-rank professional doesn't usually earn you a high score."

Xiao Yun didn't dwell on it too much. He put away his things and turned to check the spoils that Qi Huiming had revealed yesterday.

Because he didn't hold back in his final strike, much of Qi Huiming's equipment was burned to ashes, with only some equipment and materials remaining in his backpack.

Among them, an item called "Useless Gem" caught Xiao Yun's attention.

"One of the equipment sets in the 'Useless Person Set', when worn alone, it randomly adds one attribute point each day. If it can increase luck, that's fine, but otherwise it's pretty useless."

"However, its durability is unlimited, so it can replace [Star Tears] as the possession item for the Raven King."

Xiao Yun summoned the Crow King and replaced the "Tears of the Stars" on its collar with a large gemstone.

【Tears of the Stars】 has been retrieved. Although the attribute boost it provides is not much for Xiao Yun now, the 【Child of the Stars】 skill, which consumes 1000 mana points, is still very valuable and can be used as a trump card.

I continued to check the other drops, but in the end, I couldn't find anything more useful than the [Useless Large Gem].

"As the student council president, he probably treats the student council warehouse as his private warehouse, so it's normal that he doesn't have much stuff on him."

"But shouldn't he have a few good items? He's so cautious, not even carrying any treasures on him? That's not a good habit."

Xiao Yun felt somewhat helpless, but he had no choice but to accept reality.

Fortunately, Qi Huiming's kill rewards are quite attractive.

"Thunderous Prison Summoning, Thousand Blades of Instant Wind, Instant Step, Thunderous Force, Life Recovery—as expected of the student council president, not a single one of his five skills is useless."

Xiao Yun nodded in satisfaction; these five skills alone were worth the price of admission.

With the new skill acquired, Xiao Yun rose from his throne, leaped down the steps, and prepared to give it a try.

He summoned a fleshy monster, raised his hand, and arcs of electricity surged from his fingertips.

"Wan Lei Tian Lao Yin!"

The flesh-and-blood monster's murky eyes flashed with fear, and it instinctively turned and ran away.

Rumble!

Thunder roared, and a wrist-thick bolt of azure lightning struck it, instantly freezing its writhing body in place.

The electricity crackled and hissed, and a faint smell of burning filled the air.

"Oh oh oh oh oh..."

The flesh-and-blood monster let out a scream, but Xiao Yun frowned.

"Strange, why didn't it just get killed?"

Xiao Yun poured all his mana into this attack; aside from not chanting, he was already serious.

However, in terms of both damage and visual effects, it was far inferior to Qi Huiming's "Thunder Domain".

"How can the effect of my use of the same skill be so different from Qi Huiming's?"

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then tried [Swift Wind Thousand Blades] again.

call--

A hurricane howled, and pale blue flying blades shot out from nothingness, instantly turning the flesh-and-blood monster into a hedgehog.

The screams grew more intense, and even the astral spirits turned their heads away, unable to bear it any longer.

"Not enough."

Xiao Yun shook his head, activating the [Ten Thousand Thunder Prison] and [Instant Wind Thousand Blades], which intertwined to form a terrifying thunderstorm.

Boom boom boom!

A storm the size of half a basketball court surged, and violent lightning and sharp wind blades instantly turned the flesh-and-blood monster into dust.

"As expected of the new king, he has mastered such a powerful new skill in less than a day."

The astral spirit's eyes were filled with amazement.

Every skill, even the lowest-level fireball spell, requires a long period of honing and practice. Someone like Xiao Yun, who can casually throw out a new skill, would definitely be considered a top-tier genius in the previous era.

But Xiao Yun didn't seem quite satisfied.

"Without the support of corresponding talents, the power of the skills is still far from enough."

Xiao Yun shook his head and sighed softly.

The attack just now seemed powerful, but it was also a full-force attack. The monster that I could kill with a few slashes imbued with blood flames now requires two skills to work together. The superiority of the former is immediately apparent.

I tried the remaining three skills. [Thunder Strike] was not satisfactory, and although [Instant Step] and [Life Recovery], which do not require special abilities, were usable, their effects were mediocre.

Indeed, there is no best skill in the world, only the skill that is most suitable for you.

Xiao Yun muttered to himself, the joy of acquiring a new skill gradually fading away.

"We still need to be down-to-earth. If we only want to improve our strength by killing, how are we any different from Qi Huiming and the others?"

Xiao Yun's heart tightened, and he calmed down to focus on studying the skill configuration that best suited him.

"Although the effect of [Instant Step] is slightly weaker without the blessing of wind and thunder, it can replace the previous [Speed ​​Boost]. [Thunderbolt Force] and [Ten Thousand Thunder Prison] are completely incompatible with my abilities, so I will dismantle them."

"The wind fanns the flames, so I can keep [Swift Wind Thousand Blades] for now. [Life Recovery] doesn't seem as good as the kill recovery brought by Eternal Blood... Oh well, I'll leave it for now."

"The skills that were revealed before also need to be optimized. Flower Shadow Illusion... a mental attack skill that looks powerful, but it doesn't suit me. Melt it down..."

In Xiao Yun's eyes, the lines of runes intertwined, breaking down useless skills into upgrade cards.

The astral spirit watched all this quietly, its heart filled with turmoil.

"His strength has improved rapidly, yet he remains so clear-headed, making extremely decisive choices. Although the new king is young, his character is extraordinary..."

"It seems that the Blood of Eternal Flame has a successor. Perhaps... he really has the potential to restore the Blood of Eternal Flame to its former glory."

"In that case, should we tell him about the remaining treasures and legacies of the Eternal Blood...?"

It was originally worried that Xiao Yun would become overconfident after obtaining the S-level talent and would be eager for quick success after learning the news. It originally wanted to wait a while, but now it seems that its worries were unnecessary.

The celestial being's eyes flashed, and a decision gradually formed in its mind.

At this moment, the rune lines in Xiao Yun's eyes slowly faded, and he let out a long breath:

"I deconstructed seven D-rank cards and three C-rank cards, for a total of 13 upgrade cards. The efficiency is not bad."

Xiao Yun still remembers that at the beginning, the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding could only deconstruct three E-level skills a day. Unknowingly, he has already improved so much.

"Including what I got before, I now have 25 upgrade cards. Let me see how to use them."

Xiao Yun scanned the skill bar and quickly found the best target.

"Dan Kong is still C-rank? You're the one!"

After a skill reaches level C, five upgrade cards are required for each level up, and a leap from level C+ to level B- requires twenty upgrade cards.

Although the cost was high, Xiao Yun did not skimp on it.

As one's core skill, the importance of the Void Slash is self-evident, and upgrading it provides the greatest boost to oneself.

After using all 25 upgrade cards, two pop-up windows appeared in front of me.

Your skill 'Skybreaker' has been upgraded to C+.

Your skill 'Skybreaker' level has been upgraded to B-.

Xiao Yun checked the skill details and found that after upgrading to B-, [Severing the Void] was enhanced in all aspects.

First, the [Severing Void Mark] can now be stacked up from 3 to 7 layers. The cost of casting [Shift] has also changed from consuming all Severing Void Marks to only consuming three layers, and the range has been expanded from 3 meters to 10 meters.

More importantly, the skills have also introduced new features—

【Empty Resolve】: If the target has 7 stacks of marks and the next attack hits the target's fatal weakness, you can choose to detonate the 7 stacks of marks, dealing an irreversible "Empty Resolve" to the enemy that ignores armor and resistance.

"Perfectly suited to my Omniscience, indeed, the skill that best suits me is the strongest."

Xiao Yun was very satisfied and was just about to summon a flesh and blood monster to test his skills when he suddenly heard the Star Spirit cough twice.

"Um, are you done with your work? Could I have a few minutes of your time?"

Interrupted from his enthusiasm, Xiao Yun's mithril sword emitted a cold, metallic clang, seemingly indicating his displeasure.

"Is it important?"

Xiao Yun frowned slightly, but saw the Star Spirit nod solemnly.

"It's extremely important, it concerns... the legacy left behind by the Eternal Blood."
