Chapter 169: Great Harvest of Source Power Skills

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The reason why gods were gods was because they possessed overwhelming power that crushed everything!

The power of gods was far superior to the Ancient Realm—the two of them could not be compared at all!

Considering that the only way to become a god was to climb the Heavenly Stairs, the Holy Tower became the most precious and rare resource within the Black Mist Zone!

Having their own clan’s gods was the standard to distinguish whether they belonged to a major clan.

Having an exclusive Holy Tower was the benchmark to distinguish whether they were top-tier contemporary clans.

Huo Sheng had asked what needed to be asked.

Velo had said what needed to be said.

In short, the conversation briefly paused, and the people in the room fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Huo Sheng took a deep breath.

“We’ll take all of these Source Power Skills.”

“In return, your Spirit Clan members can select a piece of territory near the Nanxiang gathering place.”

After saying this, Huo Sheng smiled and added, “We should interact more in the future. Since we’re newcomers here, we do need the Spirit Clan to enlighten us about the matters within the Black Mist Zone.”

Velo also smiled and said, “For some small matters, we will certainly help. We just hope that in the future, Mr. Lu will remember this little bit of assistance from our Spirit Clan when you achieve greatness.”

Contemporary Era tribulation bearers were a huge dynamite pack.

The nature of climbing the Heaven Ascension Stairs determined that they were destined to face numerous trials and tribulations.

Betting on contemporary tribulation transcenders was truly unwise—compared to befriending them, it was better to use any means to seize the qualifications for climbing to the heavens and strive for a better future.

Previously, due to the weakness of the Spirit Clan, even if they obtained qualifications, they could hardly complete the climb to the Heavenly Stairs—let alone reach the Holy Tower. Therefore, Velo chose a different path, intending to befriend contemporary tribulation transcenders in hopes of attaining a chance for their own ascension.

There was a significant element of gambling involved.

The chances of success were incredibly slim.

However, when he saw Lu Ming, Velo changed his mind.

A genius that was rarely seen in a thousand years, an industrious Scroll King, and the identity of a contemporary tribulation transcender.

This was worth betting heavily on!

To put it bluntly, Vero was not interested in this group of people from Nanxiang now.

He was only interested in Lu Ming!

After the negotiations were settled, Velo left.

Bai Tianyu also left.

Only Lu Ming and Huo Sheng were left in the room.

After Velo left, Huo Sheng could not help but sigh deeply, his shoulders slumping.

“What should we do…”

Mortal Realm, Physique Realm, Spirit Realm, Source Realm, Ancient Realm.

Five realms below the Divine Spirit Realm.

Huo Sheng did not know how strong a Spirit Realm creature was, but he knew very well that Lu Ming was most likely not a match for a Spirit Realm creature.

However, the contemporary major clans all had the protection of gods.

Now, due to their inherent identity, humans had become prey in the eyes of the major clans.

The situation was dire, and Ho Sheng had never felt so powerless before.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Ming come to the table and pick up the bag of Source Power Skills.

This made Huo Sheng smile bitterly again.

“Aren’t you worried?”

Lu Ming said, “What’s the use of worrying?”

Huo Sheng opened his mouth to respond but found himself speechless.

Indeed, what’s the use of worrying?

For example, Lu Ming had never been worried about this or that—because there were many things that one could not change even if they were worried. There was also no solution.

It was better to continue improving oneself, being prepared for the unpredictable.

It could only be said that different personalities led to different decisions.

Lu Ming had such a personality, but Huo Sheng couldn’t be as carefree as Lu Ming.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Sheng said, “1 have to talk to Velo again. Brother Lu, you can carry on with your own matters.”

Lu Ming nodded. Instead, he took the Source Power Skill and walked out of the door, preparing to head home.

To say that Wei Luo’s words didn’t affect Lu Ming would be impossible.

He was also very flustered.

He was also apprehensive.

So Lu Ming could only use cultivation to numb his nerves and strengthen his abilities.

Lu Ming did not know what the future held, and he did not have the ability to predict the future.

But he knew that every additional attribute point he farmed today increased his chances of survival for tomorrow!

At home, the diverse array of Source Power Skills brightened Lu Ming’s mood.

After carefully selecting, Lu Ming chose the following Source Power Skills as his training projects:

Source Power Armor.

It was a Source Power Skill native to the continent.

However, its effects were quite good, significantly enhancing his defense­being startled by Yamamoto Yuichiro’s destructive death ray had made Lu Ming more concerned about protecting himself!

Soldier Transformation Technique.

It was also another native Source Power Skill of the continent.

Native didn’t mean it was bad, but rather, it was widespread—perhaps it could be said that because it was simple and practical, these Source Power Skills became universally practiced by everyone.

Gale Saber.

Saber Source Power Skill.

The Great Dragon Spear.

Spear Source Power Skill.

Apocalypse.

Staff Source Power Skill.

Atomic Sword Technique.

Sword Source Power Skill.

Feather Space Technique.

Flight Source Power Skill.

There was also the Spiritual Energy Rain.

It was a long-range attack Source Power Skill.

Source Power Skills, in reality, prized quality over quantity.

Using Source Power Skills required consuming Source Power, as well as physical stamina, and they also took time to execute.

In actual combat, one usually used a killer move when attacking, and success or failure often depended on that one move—this was why offensive Source Power Skills were better when honed to perfection.

However, it was a different story for someone like Lu Ming who cultivated a Source Power Skill to increase his attributes.

After selecting the Source Power Skill, Lu Ming was not in a hurry to start training. Instead, he opened his attribute panel first.

Name: Lu Ming

Explosive Fist (Perfect) (70,000/100,000).

Knight Body Forging Technique (Beginner) (790/10000).

This was Lu Ming’s current status.

Ever since he obtained the Knight Body Forging Technique, Lu Ming’s daily practice routine revolved around the Knight Body Forging Technique!

This resulted in hardly any improvement in Lu Ming’s proficiency in other skills.

However, it also caused Lu Ming’s attributes to increase rapidly at an average of 100 points a day!

Picking up the Source Power Armor Seal Sphere, Lu Ming infused Source Power into it.

Soon, with his thoughts drifting, Lu Ming found himself in the inner space of the Source Power Armor Seal Sphere.

It was the same experience as when he learned the Knight Body Forging Technique.

After a few seconds, Lu Ming snapped back to reality, having already learned the usage techniques of the Source Power Armor from the seal sphere.

With a thought from Lu Ming, faint beams of light flickered across his body—a phenomenon arising from the resonance of the Source Power within his cells with the Source Power in the surrounding air.

Following a specific breathing rhythm, the Source Power within Lu Ming’s body behaved like a magnet, rapidly attracting the Source Power from the air. The two merged on the surface of his body, gradually forming a close-fitting armor that emitted a gentle glow.

Opening the attribute panel, a new skill caught Lu Ming’s eyes.

Source Power Armor (Beginner) (1/100): The most fundamental Source Power Protection Spell. You have preliminary mastered the Source Power Armor.. All your attributes+30, free attribute points+30!
