Chapter 588: Chapter 585: Celestial Being Challenge Letter

During these months of meditation and seclusion, when Bai Pu’s spirit was replenished, he would train in the Heart Image Space, where he developed his Tide Mystical Arts.

At the same time, within the Heart Image Space’s meditative battles, Bai Pu focused on training his specialties in long-handled weapons, dual-wielding weapons, and riding skill.

He made the most progress in long-handled weapons, reaching Advanced Level 7; riding skill, having had a foundation, was also now at Advanced Level 7.

However, with dual-wielding weapons, Bai Pu still couldn’t grasp the essentials. His right hand held the Doomsday Blade Short Spear, having a foundation in one-handed swordsmanship, which developed quickly, but using the Savior’s Hand Guarding Staff in his left hand wasn’t as fluent.

According to information Bai Pu gathered, "Dual-wielding Weapons" is a very rare specialty. Warriors with this specialty can wield two weapons simultaneously and have a faster attack speed than using one-handed or two-handed weapons.

This specialty can only be taught by powerful beings within the Spirit Realm, and only then can Awakened warriors have a small chance of mastering it.

It is challenging for Awakened warriors to cultivate this specialty on their own.

Through prolonged meditation battles, Bai Pu became very familiar with the Doomsday Spear.

Besides his cultivation, Bai Pu also read medical books and pharmacopeias, experimenting with improving formulas, making remarkable progress over the months.

Primarily, in making the "Flesh and Blood Enhancement Liquid," although Bai Pu’s success rate was low, with a steady supply of rare alchemy herbs from his territory, he still made significant progress.

Especially since making this advanced alchemy potion, even failures slightly increased his proficiency. Successes visibly increased it.

Therefore, through trial and error, Bai Pu’s sub-profession successfully rose to Level 5.

After leveling up, Bai Pu surprisingly got inspired and directly improved the formula of the Flesh and Blood Enhancement Liquid, integrating methods from refining elixirs like the Dragon Tiger Pill, developing a new potion called "Blood Spirit Milk."

The instructions from the Spirit Realm Will reveal the value of this potion.

[Blood Spirit Milk: A new potion combining Flesh and Blood Alchemy with Ancient Chinese Alchemy. Consuming it randomly increases 4–8 points of basic attributes. This potion does not stack with the effects of other similar potions.]

Compared to the original Flesh and Blood Enhancement Liquid, which only increased 2–4 attributes, the Blood Spirit Milk significantly raises the attributes, selling for at least double the price of the original.

Unfortunately, the improved Blood Spirit Milk remains an "Alchemy Potion," so Bai Pu cannot increase his attributes by consuming it.

The development of Blood Spirit Milk has two implications for Bai Pu.

First, he now has a long-term source of Spiritual Points income. However, due to the limited output of alchemy materials and some supplementary elixir materials, Bai Pu can produce one or two bottles of Blood Spirit Milk monthly on average.

Prized at 300,000 Spiritual Points per bottle, people eagerly buy it, with prices higher at auctions.

Second, through developing the new formula of Blood Spirit Milk, Bai Pu’s Daoist Alchemist sub-profession proficiency had another substantial leap, now nearing Level 6. As long as he continues to refine Blood Spirit Milk, Youth Cream, Emergency First Aid Ointment in his spare time, he will soon reach the threshold of Advanced Sub-profession.

During this period, Bai Pu also enhanced his equipment, focusing mainly on the [Sufferer’s Shoulder Armor] and [Grip of Giant Strength]. With enhancement cards acquired by Li Ling, Bai Pu upgraded these pieces to +7.

It’s worth mentioning that the [Sufferer’s Shoulder Armor], a piece of Dark Gold Equipment, cooperated quite well, failing only once. Due to the enhancement cards, it didn’t drop in enhancement level, ultimately reaching +7 after spending around thirty thousand Spiritual Points.

Regarding the [Doomsday] Spear, Bai Pu also wanted to enhance it, but when he put it into the enhancement light cluster, the feedback was:

[This equipment exceeds the enhancement limit of the Awakened World. Please try again in the Evolver World.]

Bai Pu didn’t desire too much, as even without enhancement, its 180~350 attack power was enough to stand out, even comparing to a +10 [Phoenix Wing Gilded Halberd].

Bai Pu didn’t brag about his breakthroughs during this retreat.

In the eyes of Li Ling, Blood Spider, and others, Bai Pu’s power was like a deep abyssal sea, impossible to gauge, only knowing he was a strong presence among top-level Awakened.

"Sister Ling, I just saw the message you sent."

Bai Pu shifted the topic, "You mentioned there’s news about the Peak Title Wars?"

Li Ling nodded, "Correct. Because last year’s Peak Title Wars were postponed, three Peak Title battles are scheduled for the end of this year: ’Celestial Being,’ ’Power King,’ and ’Divine Throne.’

"I’ve already secured the qualification for the Power King Title War," Bai Pu said.

"You secured it?" Several people turned their eyes with surprise.

"For the Power King Title War, your Power attributes need to exceed 200 points without using aids! How did you achieve that?" Blood Spider was astonished, as they had been college entrance exam buddies.

Bai Pu shook his head with a smile.

His original Power attribute was 154 points, gaining a 30-point Power bonus when holding [Doomsday], reaching 184 points! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

While practicing riding skill, Bai Pu attempted the Double-Sailed Dragon... resulting in a "Unity" prompt, temporarily granting Bai Pu 18 Power and 24 Endurance from the Double-Sailed Dragon.

Bai Pu’s Power attribute suddenly broke through to 202 points! He immediately received a prompt from Gaia’s Will:

[You have obtained the qualification for the Earth Peak Title War: ’Power King.’ Co-hosted by: Official Huaxia. Do you agree?]

Bai Pu agreed, leaving a "Seal of the Power King" mark on him. When the Power King Title War begins, he will participate.

This made sense, as "Unity" is a skill state added by equipment, not an attribute gained through aids, naturally meeting the criteria for the Power King title.

"Alright, you’ve obtained the Power King Title competition qualification... There’s no news yet about the other two Peak Titles for the Divine Throne War, but there’s info for the Celestial Being War, scheduled for early November."

Li Ling said: "Awakened interested in participating in the Celestial Being War need to defeat a Celestial Being candidate in a public duel! Qualifications end at the end of October, which is this month."

"What’s the definition of a public duel?" Bai Pu asked.

"The challenger must first register with the co-hosts—meaning the official Huaxia. After the Spirit Realm Will’s approval, they will receive a special tool: [Challenge Letter]! Using the Challenge Letter, they can select a corresponding Celestial Being candidate for the challenge. This process will be broadcast worldwide by the Huaxia official... That’s what’s meant by a ’public duel,’" Li Ling explained.
