Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent

Chapter 57: Preparing for Super Mode

Team Channel—

Pan Jiang: The first item, [Fine Quality – Eagle Horn Bow], is up for auction.

This fine-quality weapon was worth about 150,000, making it the most expensive piece of equipment today.

Of course, Li Chengfeng wouldn’t miss out.

He put in a lot of effort in the second round, shed some sweat, and naturally deserved some rewards.

Li Chengfeng: 421 points.

The second-place veteran had a total of only 420 points, and could only stare helplessly at the one-point difference.

It was clear that no one could outbid this score.

Pan Jiang: Senior Brother Li wins the bid.

Pan Jiang: The second item, [Fine Quality – Serpent Scale Chestplate].

The chestplate is the most valuable part of the armor, generally more expensive than other parts.

This piece of equipment is worth about 42,000.

Li Chengfeng: 421 points.

The second-place veteran, holding 420 points, continued to stare helplessly.

Pan Jiang: Senior Brother Li wins the bid.

Li Chengfeng easily secured the two fine-quality items for himself.

Pan Jiang watched with envy, feeling extremely bitter inside.

If it weren’t for Li Chengfeng, that weapon worth over a hundred thousand would have been his.

In the end, Pan Jiang’s few DKP didn’t win him anything, and he only received a few thousand dollars.

He swore never to challenge a secret realm with Li Chengfeng again.

Li Chengfeng used the remaining DKP to divide up the money.

He got over ten thousand.

All in all, his gains from this dungeon were around 200,000.

During this dungeon challenge, he had a 500% internal energy upgrade Buff.

During that time, he alone gained an entire round’s worth of experience, and with the enemies he killed in the other five rounds, he took a big step closer to leveling up.

For the remaining days of the week, Li Chengfeng did not dual cultivate with Shu Fuyao.

Instead, he asked her to use this time to ponder more advanced methods of circulating dual inner elixirs.

The method Shu Fuyao currently used was still at a basic level.

Li Chengfeng had fully tasted the benefits of the additional 50% attribute boost brought by the advanced circulation method.

So he wanted her to master it sooner as well.

Shu Fuyao had an S-grade talent in martial arts, and with Li Chengfeng as her teacher providing guidance, she quickly mastered the advanced method of circulating dual inner elixirs.

Like Li Chengfeng, she also received an additional 50% attribute boost when activating her internal energy.

However, she couldn’t achieve the eightfold energy release speed like Li Chengfeng.

This was because, in her dual cultivation of heaven and earth, the two energy flows in her meridians, only one, the “Heavenly Force,” could be used for energy release techniques.

The other energy flow, the “Earthly Force” wood energy, had virtually no power to speak of.

So her energy release speed was four times that of a single inner core.

But combined with her ability to fight and heal simultaneously, it was formidable enough.

Taking advantage of the downtime, Li Chengfeng finally had the time to manage his finances.

During this period, he had been making money almost every day, and his wallet was getting fatter by the day.

One of the larger sums of income was 210,000 from killing Angduo.

The armor from Angduo sold for 470,000.

The income from the Difficult Mode Braving the World Society was 330,000.

The entry bonus was 1,000,000.

The reward for 49 consecutive victories in the arena was 1,180,000.

The Normal Mode Luqiao Siege Defense Battle was 200,000.

Some of the larger expenses were:

Buying a motorcycle for 180,000.

Purchasing a set of fine-quality black gold swordsman armor for 350,000.

Replacing a level 13 fine-quality sword for 500,000.

Purchased four 15-star crystal stones for 600,000.

So currently, he has assets worth over 1.7 million.

Li Chengfeng’s storage bracelet was too small, with only an initial storage space of 1 cubic meter.

With a BMW motorcycle stored inside, and some other items, the space gradually became insufficient.

Gritting his teeth, he spent 498,900 to buy a 1 cubic meter storage bracelet at the mall.

He used it to “exchange” for 1 cubic meter of storage space, adding it to his currently bound bracelet.

This increased his portable storage space to 2 cubic meters.

A week passed.

“Check-in.”

【Ding! Weekly check-in successful.】

【Two check-in rewards to choose from.】

【Reward One: Gain a buff that increases dungeon drop rates by 500%】

【Reward Two: Gain a buff that increases dungeon drop rates by 200% and internal energy progress by 300%.】

This week also offered selective rewards.

Adding them up, both options offer a 500% increase.

While the increased dungeon drop rate was certainly beneficial, as higher drop rates meant faster earnings, the importance of leveling up couldn’t be ignored.

The higher the level of the same quality equipment, the more valuable it was.

A set of fine-quality level 10 armor was priced around 150,000, whereas a set of fine-quality level 20 armor exceeds 500,000.

Moreover, outside of dungeons, one’s strength wasn’t suppressed; the higher the level, the stronger one became.

Thus, it was evident that the benefits of leveling up far outweigh those of increased drop rates.

Prioritizing leveling up should be the highest priority.

Therefore, Li Chengfeng chose Reward Two.

Focusing on leveling up.

In two weeks’ time, Li Chengfeng had made ample preparations to face the super mode dungeon.

It was time to settle accounts with Feng and Yun*.

*Feng and Yun also means Wind and Cloud and was thus used in the previous chapters. Author likely contracted the names and it was too late for me to change since it’s all released

Shu Fuyao arranged for someone to cover her shift for a day, teamed up with Li Chengfeng, and together they headed to the Braving the World Society’s secret realm entrance, a hundred kilometers away.
