Lu Yu left behind the special effects of the Soul Gathering Hands. He could easily carry the Blood Burning Blade on his body while using the attack power of the Demon Slaying Sword to fight.
As for the energy sphere—
There are many types of energy spheres.
However, for each category, there is absolutely only one unique piece, and it will always remain the sole one; a second identical piece is absolutely impossible to appear.
And the one in his hand is one of them.
With ten Star Spirit Stones, he finally transformed the energy ball into a star weapon.
The energy sphere was only the size of a bowl’s mouth. It was held in Lu Yu’s hand, emitting a faint white glow.
Inside the energy sphere, it was as if it were transparent, completely empty!
So far, apart from the Starling Mine and the Corpse of the Dead, only this energy sphere is the true treasure.
The correct way to use the energy sphere is to integrate it into the body.
After Lu Yu integrated the energy sphere into his body, the sphere lost its physical form and settled in his abdominal area like a mass of transparent energy.
The light outside the energy sphere seeped into every cell and every part of Lu Yu’s muscles and bones like countless beams of radiance, forming an invisible shield that enveloped his body.
The official name of the energy ball should be called the Phantom Spirit Ball!
The Illusion Spirit Star Ball itself does not possess any attributes. The Illusion Spirit Star Balls you obtain are all merely spheres without any levels.
Different Phantasm Spirit Orbs will lead to different growth paths.
The Phantom Star Soul Ball he obtained is designed to absorb damage!
Each time the owner is attacked, they absorb one-third of the damage dealt by the attacker and store that damage within an energy orb.
For example, if you receive 300 points of attack, 100 of those points will be directly absorbed by the Phantom Spirit Sphere.
“Absorbing one-third of the damage?!” Lu Yu saw this attribute and finally understood why the Phantom Star Soul Orb was a unique item.
“Haha, that means even if a single strike can deal 1000 HP damage, at most only 600 points of damage will be effective,” Lu Yu said excitedly while calculating.
You may not see the power of this Phantom Spirit Orb now, but when everyone’s strength increases, the effects of the Phantom Spirit Orb will become more evident.
Based solely on this one attribute, the value of this energy sphere is truly immeasurable!
You would have to exchange it with a mine, but you also need someone else willing to trade an irreplaceable unique item—one that can never be obtained again—for it.
The answer is – no one would switch.
Obtaining the Phantom Spirit Orb depends solely on luck, not on wealth!
Certainly, the energy sphere will evolve when its charge reaches the maximum level. Evolution also requires different elements.
After evolving, energy balls will gain different effects.
Certainly, the effect gained from evolving the damage-absorbing Phantom Star Soul Ball must have a certain relationship with muscles and bones.
When the Phantasm Spirit Star Ball reaches its highest level, he really doesn’t know what kind of effect it would produce.
Because the memories of this part are vague.
Now, a gradeless Phantom Spirit Star Ball can evolve after absorbing 20,000 points of damage.
This was really not difficult for Lu Yu at all.
Lu Yu did a quick calculation. During this period of battle, his base attributes were as follows: maximum health reached 7,530 points, attack power stood at 4,240 points, and his tendon attribute, thanks to the Silver Armor, had already risen to 8,570 points, making it the highest among the three attributes.
The skills include the ability from Soul Gathering, which grants a 15% chance to increase the drop rate of warrior souls when defeating monsters.
The body of the deceased, silver armor, breath of life, fury of life, and the wolf’s charge.
There are also the Level 1 skills of the Shalu Star Soul—Voracious Blood Blade and Slaughter Strike!
Secondary Skill – Soul Devour!
Possesses the Star Soldier Demon-Slaying Sword, the Blood-Blade of Flames, and the Guardian of Life.
The Blade of Burning Blood is basically worn on the body to activate special effects.
The Demon-Slaying Sword’s attack power reached 2,070 points, allowing Lu Yu’s total attack power to stack up to 6,310 points!
Due to the protection of the Star Soldier’s Life Guardian, the Life Value and Constitution have reached 9,530 and 8,840 points respectively!
It was a pity for Lu Yu that his basic attributes had not yet reached the peak of the first level.
After experiencing the benefits of reaching the peak of the first level, he also became somewhat greedy.
Lu Yu wanted to quickly boost his three attributes to their limits, and the only way to do that was through combat.
During the day, the monsters in the city had almost disappeared.
Lu Yu could only leave the city to search in the suburbs. Moreover, he needed a powerful enemy, one as strong as the Blood Demon Bear he had faced previously.
It was different outside the city than he had imagined.
The demon apes and wolf demons here have been nearly wiped out. As the lowest form of life, they possess weak abilities, cannot evolve, and drop large quantities of star spirit beads, making them essentially walking ATMs in the eyes of many people.
As human capabilities have grown stronger, these two forms of life have become increasingly rare.
The number of Dark Magic Wolves outside the city was like a pack of wolves.
Lu Yu had barely walked less than a mile when he encountered two wolf packs.
The task of hunting down one hundred Black Demon Wolves as a Level One Killing Star Soul has finally been completed.
“Congratulations! You have completed the Level 1 quest and received a reward: a recipe for crafting armor.”
A recipe appeared in Lu Yu’s mind, and each ingredient in it left him in disbelief.
“Armor! Armor! It’s actually an armor forging recipe!”
Lu Yu didn’t know whether he should feel excited or shocked.
Armor is quite different from tendons and bones. Many attacks cannot penetrate armor, and thus cause no harm to the body at all.
Most importantly, all along, many skills have mentioned armor, yet whether in memory or in dealings with monsters, there has never been any data regarding armor appearing at all.
Lu Yu even asked Number One.
The魔猿 didn’t know anything about the armor either.
This time, he finally obtained the information about the armor.
Stellar Silver Armor —— Five sets of silver armor skills, three star weapons each providing over 500 attack power. These three star weapons must each carry unique attributes: one enhancing physique, one increasing maximum health, and one causing a bleeding effect. Finally, place them all together with ten Star Spirit Stones to fuse into an armor component.
During the fusion process of the Starlight Silver Armor, if a Mutated Star Spirit Pearl that possesses skills is added, the armor can acquire the skills from the pearl and gain twice the effect of those skills.
“F*cking hell, it takes so much just to synthesize a single component,” Lu Yu muttered, feeling a headache coming on after reading through all the information.
Two sets of Silver Armor skills? I was thinking about selling them too, but now it’s clear I don’t need to sell them anymore—I still need three more sets myself.
Armor can neutralize a significant portion of skill-based damage, and in some cases, skills might not even be able to penetrate the armor. No matter how strong the opponent’s attack is, it will not cause any harm to the body if it cannot break through the armor.
This point is proven as long as you craft a piece of armor yourself and sell it for at least 3,000 star spirits stones or more on the Demon Hunting Plains.
After clarifying all the details about the armor crafting formula, Lu Yu began to move forward.
After encountering the three demon apes, someone finally managed to break through Lu Yu’s silver armor defense and inflict damage. The Phantom Spirit Star Ball absorbed the attack, and white light began to accumulate within the orb.
The three demon apes were no weaklings either, with one of them already reaching the peak of the first level. In this battle, Lu Yu spent almost half an hour before finally pushing his limits.
The evolution of the Phantom Star Soul Orb requires one Star Spirit Stone, one hundred Star Spirit Beads, and ten Mutated Star Spirit Beads.
Lu Yu easily evolved the Phantom Spirit Star Ball to its ultimate level.
“Acquired base attribute – Tendons and Bones increased by 2000 points!” As the Spirit Star Soul Orb in his abdomen evolved, it emitted a white light that merged into Lu Yu’s body, rapidly enhancing his tendons and bones.
“Congratulations. Any attack below the level of tendons and bones can only reduce ten points of base life value, but will not cause any damage to the body.”
“Using one piece of secondary Star Spirit Stone can upgrade the Killing Star Soul to a higher level.”
“Great! It’s been really tough getting to this point. No wonder it’s a unique item; even just upgrading to level one has given me such a big surprise.”
Lu Yu never expected that the first time he obtained the Phantom Spirit Star Ball, it would bring him such a huge surprise.
It’s really too difficult when an attribute reaches the top level.
But it would be a waste to upgrade the Star Soul now.
Lu Yu’s idea is that all three attributes must reach their peak before leveling up, at which point evolution will experience a sudden, significant enhancement.
The Phantom Spirit Orb rises to level one, requiring an absorption of five million energy points!
Lu Yu knew he would have to wait for a while this time. As he grew stronger, unless he sought out more powerful monsters, the damage absorbed from ordinary monsters would only become smaller!
He gradually ventured deeper and was about to approach the cave mentioned by Li Yi and others when he discovered that the monsters in this area were exceptionally powerful.
It’s really unknown how much effort Li Yi and others have put in to pass.
A Blood Demon Bear with top-tier physical strength and a Demon Ape with peak attack power stood together in front of Lu Yu.
A defensive capability that not even a Demon-Slaying Sword can damage, relying solely on lethal strikes for forced damage.
Another one with top-level attack power even possesses the ability to transform.
The cooperation between the two monstrous creatures was even more terrifying than the blood spirit bear they encountered that night, which had reached the peak of the first level.
Lu Yu barely managed to defeat the demon ape through sheer determination. After pushing his Soul Devouring ability to its limits to enhance his attributes, he finally succeeded in taking down another Blood Demon Bear.
After this battle, the maximum life increases by 1000 points, and attack power increases by 1500 points. His physical strength has reached its limit and will no longer increase.
While he was engaged in battle with these two powerful monsters, a group of more than ten people standing outside the battlefield had already been left speechless with astonishment.
Yes, they had witnessed Lu Yu’s battle against the Blood Demon Bear.
But it was never this brutal before.
If it weren’t for following the path carved out by Lu Yu, they truly wouldn’t have expected to witness such an exhilarating and intense battle again.
Lu Yu consecutively defeated two level-one peak monsters, obtaining one soldier soul and one mutated star spirit bead as drops.
Lu Yu took a glance and then put it away.
“It’s almost there.” Lu Yu glanced at the attributes; his life force was nearly at the peak of level one.
However, Lu Yu frowned and looked ahead.
Here, he had already come this far through such hardship.
If it were any farther, the fury of life would probably have to be used at least once.
As for the monster in that cave, how powerful could it be?
Lu Yu was hesitating, wondering whether to venture deeper now or come back later, when someone from the distant group walked over to him and said, “Mr. Lu, I think if we team up, we might be able to go much farther together.”
“Form a team?” Lu Yu glanced at these people. Those who had made it this far couldn’t be weak in strength.
A group consisting of eight boys and five girls, each wielding a decent star weapon in their hands.
The person who spoke continued, “That’s right. Although Mr. Lu is powerful, he is still just one individual. With our assistance, he should be able to go even further, shouldn’t he?”
Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, “I believe you’ve all witnessed my battle. So, how strong are you? Can you be a suitable support for me?”
