Chapter 203: Prepare for War!

So this is how it feels to be a cosmic-level human.”
Wang Ye felt like he was reborn.
A perfect body that merged with the world and a 100% Brain Expansion Rate that stimulated his potential.
Full of strength and hope.
Short-lived cosmic-level humans could live for a few thousand years while the long-living ones had a lifespan of close to ten thousand years.
After fusing with the cosmic, his control over space had greatly increased. Just his flying speed alone had already reached more than one ten-thousandth of the speed of light.
The stronger one’s Spatial Control and strength level was, the faster one would be.
[Do you wish to spend 50000 potential points to level up your Spatial Control?]
[Yes!]
In an instant, Wang Ye entered the world of consciousness to cultivate.
As time passed, his comprehension and control of space became deeper, reaching a new level.
It was similar to how combat energy affected perfection genetic warriors, Spatial Control had a similar effect on cosmic-level warriors.
When facing an enemy, the difference in the Spatial Control between the two sides would directly affect the outcome of the battle, just like the advantage of the terrain.
Apart from that, Spatial Control also affects the efficiency of one integrating into the cosmic and cultivating one’s evolution technique.
This included one’s speed of flight.
Not to mention the cosmic-level combat techniques that cosmic-level warriors trained in, which had a huge need for Spatial Control as well.
Stage 2 meant that he had basically reached the level of an intermediate cosmic-level warrior.
After all, the vast majority of advanced cosmic-level warriors would only reach stage 2 or 3.
Against them, he would not be too much inferior in this aspect.
There was a new category in his interface.
[Bloodline: None]
There were two possibilities for this.
First, what Xin Ran said was true and that the Blue Planet was very special such that they could only awaken talents.
Second, he did not have a bloodline.
After all, to have both talent and bloodline was only a 1% chance.
The chances for humans on four-star life planets to have both were even lower.
But it did not matter.
He could absorb other people’s high-quality bloodline, just like how he had done with his talent, Resurrection.
“Previously, I had to spend 10,000,000 potential points to forcefully obtain it because my life level was insufficient. If I can directly obtain it, it should cost the same as my talent, 1 million potential points. I’ll know when the time comes.”
The first thing Wang Ye did after breaking through to the cosmic level was to choose and familiarize himself with his equipment.
Both he and Nante were not weak.
However, their cultivation techniques and Dark Energy-level equipment were limited in all aspects.
There was no way to solve the problem of cultivation techniques for the time being. Although they could enter the Red River Virtual Network, they were currently wanted and could not be verified by their real names.
It wasn’t hard to solve – they just had to buy an identity in another cosmic nation.
The virtual networks of the various cosmic nations were not much different.
They were all authorized by the virtual human cosmic and one could obtain all sorts of cultivation techniques from there.
As for now, equipment was the most important thing.
Compared to cultivation techniques that could not be changed overnight, Dark Energy-level equipment could greatly increase one’s strength in a short time!
For example, Nante’s Dragon Burial Spear had greatly increased his attack power, the Great Silver Armor had made up for his weakest defense, and the Battle Tiger Ring had raised his weakest combat energy to an average level.
“The Red Wing Saber enhances combat energy. The Heavy Blade Saber has the best sharpness among level 1 equipment. The Green Knight’s Machete gives the body an explosive strength that exceeds its limits…”
Wang Ye was having a headache in the equipment storage room.
He now knew why Nante had so much Dark Energy-level equipment on him back then. The temptation was hard to resist!
Just like the more choices one had of beautiful girls, the better. No one would think about whether they could take it.
In the equipment warehouse, the most abundant items were Dark Energy level 1 equipment.
If there had been Dark Energy level 2 equipment, it would have been easier to pick.
In the end, Wang Ye chose two.
One was the Heavy Blade Saber, which had no special effects.
However, just by activating it with his combat energy, it possessed an extreme sharpness. It had something similar to an armor-piercing effect, and its attack power was comparable to a level 2 dark energy weapon.
The other was the Balta Scimitar. Its shape was extremely domineering, and its strength was exponential. It had a special effect that could break through Spatial Control, which he was currently relatively weak at.
With the addition of the Radiant Star Blade, three sabers were enough.
He had already put on the Light Mirror Armor, the top-grade Dark Energy-level equipment left behind by Munro King Amber. It was worth 12,000,000 star points and was comparable to Dark Energy level 2 equipment. It was lighter and more flexible than the warrior’s armor, but its defensive power was not inferior.
Its special ability was Light Mirror Protection, allowing him to completely resist a cosmic level 9 attack. Plus, it had the ability to store energy and repair damage.
What else could he ask for?
The jewelry Wang Ye wore had also belonged to Munro King Amber, the Colorful Beads Chain. It was worth 1.5 million star points.
It could not compare to the Light Mirror Armor and its value could not compare to some level 2 Dark Energy-level equipment.
That being said, it had the special effect of storing and absorbing ability. It was like ammunition to him, who did not have enough ability.
Finally, he found a pair of normal combat boots, the Double Image Boots, in the equipment warehouse. After activating it with combat energy, its special effect of Double Image could increase his speed and agility.
He didn’t choose too many, especially ability user equipment, which made up most of the equipment in the warehouse.
This was because the Radiant Star Blade alone was already powerful enough.
After reaching the cosmic level, one could open up a storage space and use it. The space was very small, and there were some documents inside that were temporarily not needed.
On the other hand, Munro King Amber had left him quite a bit of change – 6 cosmic yuan.
The other party’s assets were basically his real estate and Cosmic Bank accounts.
The real estate was left to his descendants to inherit.
As for his digital account in the Cosmic Bank, there wasn’t much left after purchasing the Radiant Star Blade.
Star points were digital currency and could only be traded face-to-face or through bank transfer.
However, other than the digital currency, there was also a special physical currency that flowed around to facilitate settlement.
Above it was the logo of the Cosmic Bank that was illuminated by compressed-to-the-extreme cosmic energy. It was beautiful.
Wang Ye threw some three-star energy crystals into his storage space and it was soon filled.
Compared to the scattered pieces of equipment, energy crystals were the most practical.
“My current overall combat prowess is comparable to that of Lu Jie.” After Wang Ye had mastered all the special abilities of his equipment, he evaluated his combat prowess.
After reaching the cosmic level and his body having merged with the cosmic, his physical strength and combat energy had all improved greatly.
In terms of his strength as an ability user, his control of the Radiant Star Blade made him like a tiger with wings.
Even though he hadn’t mastered the Condensation Spell or any other cosmic-level ability spells, the transformation and improvement of his ability was enough for him to rise to a whole new level.
“It’s not enough.” Wang Ye was very aware.
If it were just the two sub-captains and the other cosmic-level members who were slightly stronger than Lu Jie, he had an 80% chance of winning.
However, there was still the captain, a Dark Energy level 1 expert. He was the key!
Wang Ye started cultivating the Condensation Spell, the foundation of all cosmic-level ability spells.
“Warriors are one with the cosmic through their body, while ability users perceive heaven and earth through their heart.” Xin Ran’s voice echoed in his ears. “The essence of the Condensation Spell is similar to a warrior’s control of space. They both establish a connection with the cosmic to obtain stronger strength.”
Meditate and comprehend.
Wang Ye could clearly feel the existence of cosmic energy.
However, this was not the ability in his body. He couldn’t just use it however he wanted.
Integration! Core! Control!
He cultivated it over and over again.
As the foundation of cosmic-level ability spells, Wang Ye grasped it very quickly.
Especially with Xin Ran, this excellent tutor, guiding him.
Although she had only just entered stage 1, she was a New Star Lifeform. Her understanding of the Condensation Spell was naturally extraordinary.
Three cosmic days later, Wang Ye’s eyes flickered. In an instant, the surrounding cosmic energy gathered and condensed into a layer of faint light outside his body.
An invisible strength was maintaining the cosmic energy, stabilizing it.
With a deep roar, cosmic energy gathered once again. It seemed to want to escape, but it was firmly bound by an invisible strength, gradually forming the shape of an ability saber.
It was as if countless pieces of iron and stone had been condensed into the weapon, the pieces sticking together and connected tightly.
Almost! Just one more bit!
With strong willpower control and maintenance, the shining ability saber gradually took shape.
Pieces of ability condensed into a perfect whole, and it abruptly shone brightly!
It was as if his ability had condensed perfectly.
[Condensation Spell, f]
Light flashed before his eyes.
Wang Ye smiled. He looked at Xin Ran, who also smiled lightly with her beautiful face.
The two of them, who were getting increasingly familiar with each other, already had some tacit understanding.
“How’s the situation now?” Wang Ye asked.
“We’re constantly adjusting our direction and maintaining our distance. It shouldn’t be a problem. Before the backup energy is exhausted, the Munro Guards won’t be able to catch up to us,” Xin Ran said.
Wang Ye nodded.
Every time the Hongqi Supernet searched for them, it would need to locate them. At a similar speed, it was almost impossible for them to catch up to their starship.
“How many more days can the backup energy last?” Wang Ye asked.
“At most 7 cosmic days,” Xin Ran said.
“It’s enough. How’s the Virtual Image Spell coming along?” Wang Ye asked.
Xin Ran shook her head lightly. “I haven’t mastered it yet. I’m still a little off from becoming a beginner.”
It was a cosmic-level ability spell, after all. It was indeed difficult for a New Star ability user to master it now.
Not to mention that release-type ability spells were difficult to cultivate, to begin with.
“1 want to learn the One-Hit Spell.” Wang Ye made a prompt decision.
It was a cosmic-level ability spell of the strengthening system.
There were six major ability user systems. The strengthening system was always the simplest, most direct, and most violent one.
“Alright.” Xin Ran nodded. “I’ll describe to you what I saw and felt.”
“Okay.”
The One-Hit Spell worked with the Condensation Spell as the foundation. One simply condensed cosmic energy and combined it with one’s combat energy to unleash a powerful force.
The stronger the Condensation Spell and the more cosmic energy one could condense, the stronger one’s One-Hit Spell would be and the greater the power unleashed after the transformation. It possessed extremely powerful explosive power!
Combined with the Compression Spell and Explosive Spell, it could unleash power that surpassed the cosmic level.
Although the strengthening system was very simple, it was not easy to cultivate the One-Hit Spell from scratch while only relying on oral descriptions.
It was a challenge for Wang Ye. He was being forced to improve under pressure!
Time flew by and the Munro Guards quickly approached.
Seven cosmic days later, the starship’s backup energy was exhausted. Its speed dropped from 93,000 kilometers per second to 60,000 kilometers per second.
The distance between the two sides kept shrinking.
“Prepare for battle.” Wang Ye was ready to go.
“Let’s go!” Nante held the Dragon Burial Spear in his hand, his battle intent burning.
The two of them seemed to have returned to the Blue Planet and Moon Base, back to the time when they fought side by side.
Just like now, they were fearless.. They would never give up!
