Light Spring Murmur

Chapter 535: Cosmic Disaster Research Institute

After receiving the Sky Emperor's order, the Void Divine Dragon muttered to itself.

It glanced at Shi Yu and the others, who were still riding high on their victory against the Sky Emperor's granddaughter, and wondered how to deliver the message. How could it subtly stop them when they were having such a good fight? That would be too obvious, and it couldn't afford to lose face.

"Wait, I've got it," the Void Divine Dragon suddenly thought of a brilliant plan.

Shi Yu was becoming increasingly addicted to copying skills from the Sky Emperor's granddaughter.

Strong skills, high addiction.

He felt that this Sky Arena, no, this Planet King was truly a wonderful place. On Blue Planet, it was too difficult to find a demigod who knew Quasi-God skills.

To copy a skill, he had to start a fight that would alarm the entire world, which was troublesome and consumed a lot of energy.

But on Planet King, as long as you were a genius from a major power, you had a Beast contracted to you -- even a Divine Beast cub, with multiple Five-Flavored Treasures...

Multiple Quasi-God skills. Regardless of the quality, the sheer quantity was comforting.

"This guy...they really don't seem to have any consumption at all. Their state is even better than when they started!"

"Did you guys notice? Did Shi Yu use other amplification abilities just now?!"

"I felt it too. Although he combined with his Beast earlier, you could tell that their compatibility wasn't very high. But just now..."

"Besides, he should also have a Space Enhancement Talent. Shi Yu has also cultivated Space Enhancement abilities!"

Seeing Shi Yu, healed by Baby Ginseng, easily defeat Wang Qingqing again, many geniuses from Hanging Star looked grim.

There was a sense of shared animosity since, after all, Shi Yu was an outsider.

Wang Qingqing was indeed difficult to deal with. Space-type abilities were too tricky, unlike the Dragon-type, which could be suppressed with bloodline. So, while combining, Shi Yu also entered a state of Mind Resonance with Little Ji, and also used his Space Enhancement Talent.

That's how he easily and smoothly won this battle.

After all, the Combination Talent was something he cultivated later, and he wasn't proficient with it. But Mind Resonance was a natural talent, so Shi Yu could use it to amplify his abilities more effectively.

Combined with the Space Enhancement Talent to enhance Great Disaster, he could directly shatter space violently, killing his opponent! He was a walking disaster!

"Roar!!!!" With another victory, Little Ji roared, while the weakened Wang Qingqing looked unwilling as she was teleported out.

At the same time, Baby Ginseng stretched lazily, extending its palm towards Shi Yu and Little Ji, releasing healing energy. "Yi ya!!"

Coupled with Shi Yu's declaration to continue defending his title, many people looked at each other, wondering who could truly restrain this Shi Yu.

Even if Shi Yu seemed like a nice guy, they couldn't let him keep winning in Sky City like this.

"Qingqing, are you alright?" Zi Lan immediately asked, concerned, after the Sky Emperor's granddaughter was teleported back.

"He...you害me!" Wang Qingqing said as soon as she returned, giving off the expression of someone who was wronged. However, Zi Lan, the Sky Emperor's disciple, chuckled.

Zi Lan smiled, but she was actually quite shocked. She knew that when Shi Yu was on Blue Planet, his Beasts were all very strong and had demigod battle power. However, she could tell that each individual Beast was different from the Starry Sky partners they had contracted.

Back then, none of Shi Yu's Beasts, taken individually, could defeat Qimu's Starry Sky Phoenix. He had to use a pile of Beasts together to win. Although he did win easily, it ultimately relied on numbers.

Now, he was only a Rank-Two, Third-Generation Beast Tamer. How long had it been? This growth rate was simply terrifying.

As the strongest from Blue Planet, he definitely had some tricks up his sleeve.

Now that he had come into contact with cosmic civilization, his progress was even faster. Perhaps Shi Yu really had a chance to become famous in the God Sealing Battle and make a name for himself in the starry sky.

But what concerned Zi Lan more at this moment was that the arena was slow to announce the next match.

After Shi Yu defeated Wang Qingqing, no one applied for the next match. This situation made Zi Lan's eyes twitch.

After hearing Shi Yu say that he had a whole bunch of Beasts, these Hanging Star Beast Tamers didn't dare to challenge him anymore.

Ha ha ha, even Lin Feng and the Sky Emperor's direct descendants lost. Let's see who else is going to complain about him, an adopted son.

The more they lose, the better!

"Sister Zi Lan, you're stronger than me. Why don't you go? You know him best, and you have the best chance of winning," Wang Qingqing said to Zi Lan, who fell into deep thought.

"Uncle Wang," Lin Rui, who was originally observing and recuperating, suddenly noticed a familiar face and immediately said, "Uncle Wang, why are you here too?"

"Could it be that you're here to spar with him too?" he said to the scruffy, nerdy-looking man next to him.

This person was one of the Sky Emperor's sons, a rather纨绔character. Although纨绔, he was still a Second-Generation Hanging Star Beast Tamer, who had lived longer and accumulated more foundation than the Third-Generation Beast Tamers.

The scruffy, nerdy-looking man, named Wang Shu, was stunned. He turned to look at Lin Rui and said, "Rui...Hey, I'm just here to watch the fun. Why would I interfere in you youngsters' sparring?"

"But don't you love to spar with us youngsters?" Lin Rui pouted. This guy couldn't beat the top geniuses of his generation, so he always liked to bully Third-Generation disciples under the guise of giving guidance, and he had a notorious reputation.

But to be fair, his strength was indeed decent. After all, he had been stuck at Rank Nine for a long time. Nominally, it was to fight for a few more years in the God Sealing Battle, but in reality, it was because he didn't want to compete with the geniuses of his generation who had already entered the God level. He planned to just coast along at Rank Nine.

"That's true..." The scruffy, nerdy-looking man, named Wang Shu, was conflicted. The main reason was that he couldn't see through Shi Yu. Who knew how many Beasts Shi Yu had left? He didn't want to fight a battle he wasn't sure of winning. If he could be 100% sure of losing...

Now, facing the goading of the younger generation, the廢柴Wang Shu was in a dilemma.

This situation was playing out all over the audience seats. Many people were getting anxious because no one was challenging Shi Yu anymore. Was this even acceptable?

A Hanging Star genius being ruthlessly beaten by a Blue Planet genius, and then no one daring to fight – it would sound terrible if it got out.

The Five Great Divine Clans and other forces who were on good terms with Hanging Star would lose face.

But the reality was that Shi Yu was indeed difficult to deal with right now. He came from the remote Blue Planet, and no one knew his background. Even if they wanted to fight, they wanted to observe more before fighting, rather than rushing out without knowing any information.

For a moment, the arena was in an awkward silence. Even Shi Yu was wondering why no one was challenging him anymore.

Just then, a mechanical voice finally rang throughout the Sky Arena, breaking the awkward situation.

【Dear Sky Arena members:

We will be performing maintenance on the Sky Arena's battle facilities in 10 minutes. The Sky Arena will be temporarily closed during the maintenance.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to our members. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. As this is an emergency maintenance, the maintenance time is to be determined. We will notify you immediately after the maintenance is completed.】

"Roar!" Little Ji was dumbfounded. What was going on?

"So unlucky," Shi Yu muttered.

This was too coincidental and unlucky. He ran into maintenance on his first time at the arena. He hadn't copied enough skills yet.

"What a pity, the arena is going to be under maintenance. It seems that this battle won't be able to take place in the short term," Zi Lan said, regretting.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be under maintenance as soon as we got here," the Sky Emperor's good-for-nothing son said, regretfully.

Instantly, the people who were being urged by their companions and were still hesitating whether to challenge Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, while wearing regretful expressions and being quite dissatisfied with the maintenance.

"Damn it, only three matches!" the phoenix man was also quite dissatisfied.

He hadn't seen enough yet.

Seeing people he knew getting beaten up by Shi Yu made him even happier than Shi Yu was.

...Meanwhile, in the void, the Void Divine Dragon, secretly manipulating everything, sensed the complaints in the arena and muttered something.

Being unable to come for maintenance for two days was better than all of you being ruthlessly beaten by this Shi Yu!

It would be too embarrassing if it got out to the Five Great Divine Clans! A bunch of ungrateful guys.

First, maintain for two days, and then find a way to unite with the Sky Emperor to send this kid to the Environmental Protection Association to register...

"What a pity, what a pity. It just so happens that there's maintenance today. I'll call you again when the arena opens," Shi Yu said to the phoenix man, who looked regretful, before shaking his head and returning to his place of residence.

First match, vs. Lü Ran, he copied 【Sun Disaster】 and 【Sun Fall】 to teach to Little Ji.

Second match, vs. Lin Rui, he copied 【Lightspeed Fist】, 【Holy Light Healing】, 【Light and Shadow Interweave】, and 【Star Encirclement】.

One was a speed attack skill, one was a healing skill, one was an evasion skill, and one was a strong attack skill.

Honestly, they were all too ordinary.

They were all Quasi-God skills evolved from ordinary Super-Tier skills that weren't top-tier.

Compared to Shi Yu's Beasts' pile of top-tier skills that were specially formulated and fused, there was no comparison at all. They didn't even count as complete Light Rules, only a partial usage of the Light Rules, scraps. Moreover, only Eleven could have a high affinity for these four skills in the team. Baby Ginseng and Ling weren't very suitable, so he couldn't teach them.

Among them, Baby Ginseng could learn Holy Light Healing, but it wasn't very meaningful. The Day-Night Radiance skill had the same effect, and it was even stronger.

However, Shi Yu still copied them all, planning to see if he could fuse them into 【Light Domination】 and advance to a complete Light Rules God skill.

As for the third match, vs. Wang Qingqing, Shi Yu was very helpless. He only copied one skill because the other party's Beast had 【Space Domination】, which belonged to the top-tier of Advanced God skills.

Unfortunately, Buggy already had this skill. Although it wasn't a Quasi-God skill yet, it was still in the Super-Tier skill stage and hadn't reached the Quasi-God skill stage, it could be upgraded sooner or later, so copying it was a waste.

That was why Shi Yu didn't find this girl as pleasing as the two guys from before. He didn't know if her Beast really only had one Quasi-God skill, or if the others weren't suitable for use in battle.

However, even with just one Quasi-God skill...

As expected of a Space-type skill. As long as the degree of development was high and the skill quality was high, sometimes one skill could break through everything.

"Roar!"

After returning, Little Ji helplessly ate soil in the room, feeling that he hadn't fought enough. "Roar!! (Invincible~ how lonely~)" Little Ji shook his head.

"Ji. (This guy is inflated!)" Buggy and the others also pointed at Little Ji, feeling annoyed.

They didn't expect that there would be a day when the Second Team would rise.

Especially Buggy, who felt that he was no match for Little Ji without the power of faith. Each of the Beasts in the First Team was full of crisis.

If it weren't for the "weakest of the first evolutions" theory to support him, Buggy would have doubted his life and couldn't believe that he would be surpassed by Little Ji one day.

After witnessing Little Ji's battle power after adding points, Shi Yu sincerely felt that Little Ji could compete for the top three in the team.

The benefits of adding points first.

After all, now was a critical moment, and the goal was the God Sealing Battle ten months later, so the order of adding points couldn't be messed up.

"We've already fought, and the facts have proven that as long as you upgrade your top-tier Super-Tier skills to the Quasi-God skill stage, you don't need a lot of skills to crush those Divine Beast cubs with quality."

Shi Yu held a small meeting for his Beasts in the Mind Space.

"Yi ya!" Baby Ginseng was delighted.

"Next is Duck Duck. We also have an Evil God's Eye obtained from hunting the Abyss Devil Frog, which came from the Transcendent Life, the Abyss Evil God. It might be a little difficult for you to control it, so next, we need to improve your purification ability and strive for a few more Purification Quasi-God skills."

"This is also to make it easier for you to participate in the Environmental Protection Department's assessment and get an ID card."

He could slap her to death. When had Duck Duck Heavenly Emperor ever suffered such grievances?

Duck Duck felt indignant.

"It's still not safe for Duck Duck to refine the Evil God's Eye on its own, so Su Su needs to assist her. Therefore, Su Su, let's try to see if we can upgrade it to a stronger skill next." You're also the core of adding points next!"

"Ning!!" Su Su was also nervous. Little Ji had fused with the Dragon of Destruction's Soul Crystal, and Duck Duck was going to refine the Abyss Evil God's Eye. She was really worried that if she didn't get stronger quickly, she wouldn't even be able to beat the Second Team.

"I've investigated, and it seems that the Environmental Protection Department has a lot of evolutionary materials that are suitable for you. At that time, I'll try to buy some, and then you can use Infinite Devour to evolve and become stronger," Shi Yu said with a smile. Now that they've arrived in the starry sky, it's time to fulfill the promise of the Starry Sky Elf.

"Ning!! (Yay~)" Su Su was happy.

"As for Eleven, Buggy, Chi Tong, and Ling, wait a little longer. One by one, don't worry, we still have ten months, we have plenty of time, we won't leave you behind. In the end, we'll definitely challenge the God Sealing Battle in the best state as a whole team."

"Ling, I'll ask Senior Sky Emperor about your Starry Sky Storm later, to see if he has any connections." Shi Yu said finally.

He needs to promote the equipment and do a good job in the later stages.

【Exclusive Learning Method】: First, transform yourself into a Starry Sky Mechanical Life that can adapt to the starry sky. Next, enter the starry sky and use the power of Starry Sky Storm to...

This learning method was not difficult, but not easy. Ling's Auspicious Fortune could indeed absorb dangerous skills, and Ling's Wind Spirit Bead could indeed absorb and adapt to most energies, but learning Starry Sky Storm through this exclusive method was still too dangerous. After all, this was a cosmic disaster.

There was a high probability that she would die tragically during the adaptation process, repeating the fate of that unlucky Qilin.

It was important to know that even the most ordinary Starry Sky Storm was a cosmic disaster that could kill gods.

Even with the Wind of Fortune to increase luck and the World Tree Fruit to increase learning comprehension, Shi Yu and his team definitely wouldn't dare to touch a real Starry Sky Storm in the short term. Therefore, they could only ask the Sky Emperor to see if there were any other ways.

"Ying ying ying!!" "Roar!" "Mi~!" They understood.

The various Beasts naturally had no objections to Shi Yu's arrangement. In any case, the various Beasts had already decided that they would never fight each other in the team again before they finished adding points, so as not to be bullied by the Second Team.

Next, Shi Yu began to add points for Baby Ginseng, Duck Duck, and Su Su.

However, before he had even started for two days, the Sky Emperor contacted Shi Yu and asked him when he planned to register Abyss Duck.

"Senior Sky Emperor, I'm worried that it won't be able to pass the assessment, so I'm still training its purification power." Shi Yu said, holding his phone.

"Well, it's good that you remember. Don't send it out casually before you go to register it. It's best to even enter less battles. Even if you don't send it out, some guys from the Environmental Protection Department can still sense it," the Sky Emperor said.

"I understand. After I'm done here, I'll go to register it immediately." Shi Yu said, "By the way, Senior Sky Emperor, I want to ask you something. Do you know of any place where I can come into contact with Starry Sky Storm that isn't so dangerous?"

Sky Emperor: ?

Not so dangerous, Starry Sky Storm... How could the Sky Emperor not find a connection between these two words?

"What do you want to do?" the Sky Emperor asked.

Shi Yu said, "My mechanical Beast and I have analyzed and researched a set of methods for learning Starry Sky Storm, but we need to come into contact with..."

The Sky Emperor's teeth ached. "Are you guys crazy? Cosmic disasters like this can't be mastered just by saying so. Even Lin Feng and I wouldn't dare to go head-to-head with a Starry Sky Storm. I've never heard of any Starry Sky Life that would want to be unlucky enough to play with a Starry Sky Storm."

This Shi Yu was really not an easy guy. Didn't he see how badly the Qilin who went to Blue Planet died? Wait... Shi Yu's Mechanical Phantom Beast, isn't it also a Qilin? How dare he!

"Are cosmic disasters like Starry Sky Storm so powerful that no Starry Sky Life wants to master them??" Shi Yu asked!

The Sky Emperor said, "The reason why disasters are called disasters is because they are too difficult to control. I'm afraid that only those Transcendent Lives have the opportunity to do so, and even then, the risk is extremely high. I suggest you give up."

He still didn't have a direct understanding of the dangers of playing with Starry Sky Storm.

The Sky Emperor continued, "I'll recommend a place to you, called the 'Cosmic Disaster Research Institute'. An old friend of mine holds an important position there. They mainly study cosmic disasters, including 'Silent Demise' and 'Cosmic Tide'."

"They also simulate cosmic disasters in various ways from time to time. If you're really not willing to give up, you can try going there. Although I don't know if it will meet your requirements, I'll only allow you to go there. Don't even think about..."

"Okay, I understand, Senior Sky Emperor. I'm not a kid."

The Sky Emperor was silent. From his hundreds of years of age, Shi Yu, this 20-something-year-old, was indeed a child!

"Cosmic Disaster Research Institute..." Shi Yu said, "They even have disaster simulations. I want to go take a look. Thank you for your help, Senior Sky Emperor."

The Sky Emperor said, "Alright, I'll give my old friend a heads up in advance and write you a letter of recommendation. You can come to the shrine in three days. It's your first time leaving Sky City, so I'll give you some self-defense items."

"Or, should I send you a guide or bodyguard?"

Shi Yu said, "No, no, there's no need to trouble others. Just give me a few Space Teleportation Charms that can get rid of Transcendent Gods."

Sky Emperor: ???

Space Teleportation Charms that can get rid of Transcendent Gods? What do you want to do?
