Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 384 - 275 Flow Barrier_2
Chapter 384: Chapter 275 Flow Barrier_2
The Eternal Day General was an overseas member of the Crystal Elite Clan, akin to holding a green card on Earth.
He could move about the city without hindrance, meet the high-ranking members of the Crystal Elite Clan, directly purchase property in Eternal Day City, and had many other privileges.
For example, he could enter and exit the Star Gate at any time without waiting for a batch.
With the Black Crystal Badge and being an Eternal Day General, he could now do as he pleased in Eternal Day City.
"I agree."
Ji Xinghuo immediately nodded without the slightest objection.
He could buy six Heavenly Treasure Diamonds a year and needed 18,000 points of merit. It seemed like a lot, but for him, the merit was just an incidental product.
What he really wanted was Spiritual Origin Ability.
Even without Eternal Day Merit, he intended to hunt monsters on Earth Abyss Star for the long term, purely for profit.
Xuan Ming, unaware of Ji Xinghuo’s thoughts, smiled and said, "Congratulations. There hasn’t been a new Eternal Day General for many years, and you are the first one in the past century. Please give me your badge."
Ji Xinghuo handed him his Eternal Day Badge.
With a flash of light, there was no apparent change on the surface of the badge, but the Crystal Elite Clan could recognize its level of authority at a glance.
Ji Xinghuo took back the badge and saw the new features.
With it, he could now mobilize some of the city’s defense sentinels and had a communicator to speak with dozens of Crystal Elite Clan members anytime, stating his needs.
"If you want to buy Heavenly Treasure Diamonds, just come to me," Xuan Ming said.
"Alright."
After thanking him, Ji Xinghuo left the auction house.
He had originally thought to withdraw the remaining 55 Ether Crystals from his account, but considering he might bid for other items, he decided to keep them.
Returning to the hotel, he took out the Heavenly Treasure Diamond and admired it.
The dazzling gemstone was light, weighing just a few dozens of grams, and when held in hand, it exuded a magical attraction, urging him to absorb it. The way to use the Heavenly Treasure Diamond was the same as Star Tears: directly absorbing its energy would grant a fusion opportunity.
Ji Xinghuo noticed some clues.
The Heavenly Treasure Diamond was likely a semi-artificial creation; its raw materials were naturally formed, then processed by the Crystal Elite Clan to achieve its current utility.
The glow inside the gemstone was a type of transformed Ether Energy, very special, and merging with pure Ether Energy, it would produce incredible changes.
However, with his limited knowledge, he couldn’t delve into the specific principles.
"Better absorb it now, rather than wait and give room for untoward possibilities," he mused.
Ji Xinghuo did not hesitate.
Although he had absorbed a Star Tear last time and still had one fusion opportunity left, it did not affect his use of the Heavenly Treasure Diamond.
The remaining fusion times would not disappear; they would all be retained.
Then, he placed the Heavenly Treasure Diamond on his chest. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He then released a weak stream of Star Power to stimulate the gemstone, immediately drawing out its pure energy, which flowed continuously into his body and was absorbed by the Magnetic Spirit Star Core, transforming into his own Star Power.
The amount of energy was not large, much less than that of the Star Tears.
The process ended in less than five minutes.
Ji Xinghuo opened the interface, and his Star Power had increased by just over 100 points, reaching 3330.
The nature of his Star Power hadn’t changed; it was still Electromagnetic Star Power, but as it circulated through his body, it subtly remodeled his physique. This remodeling lasted a few hours, and by midday, he had gained one more fusion opportunity.
By nightfall, another fusion opportunity had been added.
"It’s done."
Ji Xinghuo clearly felt a "hunger", now possessing three chances to fuse with an Alien Species!
"Three times..." he couldn’t help but scratch his head.
It was indeed peculiar, as other Super Mutants struggled desperately, going bankrupt for a single fusion opportunity, scarcely obtaining even one amplifying artifact.
It was always Alien Species waiting for amplification, whereas for him, amplification was waiting for Alien Species.
"No appropriate Alien Species, though!" Ji Xinghuo said, feeling helpless.
Currently, the only one he had was "Ether Affinity", but it wasn’t time to seclude himself for Cultivation, so he wasn’t in a rush to fuse.
He took out the Eternal Day Badge to check the auction house information, but still, there were no Alien Species that he wanted.
"Huh, I can directly view the store information now."
Having been promoted to the Black Crystal Badge, Ji Xinghuo discovered a new feature.
In Eternal Day City, at the shops set up by the Crystal Elite Clan, one didn’t need to visit the store physically. One could simply check the currently available goods, similar to the online shopping platforms on Earth, select the desired items, pay for them, and have them delivered by the Crystal Elite Clan right to one’s door.
He browsed proficiently.
He mainly checked the Mutants, as the Crystal Elite Clan’s Mutants shop was extensive. Many people on the plateau would come to Eternal Day City to sell Mutants, and the production of Mutants from Earth Abyss Star was also not low.
However, most of the Mutants were repetitive, and their quality was below Transcendent.
Suddenly, the screen paused, displaying information on a Mutant: "Flow Barrier, Superior Mutant, priced at one Ether Crystal or fifty thousand True Dragon Coins."
Ji Xinghuo’s eyes lit up.
Flow Barrier!
It was one of the Ability options for the Spiritual Power Stringer professional template. Though only of Superior grade, its potential was immense, capable of greatly enhancing the defense of a Spiritual Power Stringer, which is why its price far surpassed that of typical Superior Mutants.
"I’ll take it."
He immediately paid with one Ether Crystal.
A moment later.
A member of the Crystal Elite Clan arrived at the hotel and personally delivered the Mutant to Ji Xinghuo. The Mutant appeared as a piece of soft leather, half the size of a palm, with a greyish hue, unknown from what monster it had been stripped, thin as paper yet very tough.
Mutant information popped up in his view.
[Mutant: Flow Barrier]
[Grade: Superior]
[Fusion Success Rate: 94%]
[Can Be Upgraded: Yes]
"Such a high fusion success rate!" Ji Xinghuo exclaimed. With a success rate over 90%, Mutants had proven to be extremely suitable for him, and the Flow Barrier could still be upgraded.
"Increasing defense, boosting survival ability, is never a mistake."
He had witnessed the effects of the Flow Barrier.
Previously, the Ice Lord that he had slain in the Ice Finger Mountain Range possessed a Flow Barrier with considerable defense power. Although his spear and lightning had penetrated the barrier, it wasn’t an issue with the Ability itself, but that the Ice Lord’s Flow Barrier wasn’t of a high enough level.
Ji Xinghuo removed his clothes, cut a wound on his chest with his Lei Chi, and then applied the thin leather Mutant to it.
The Mutant soaked up blood like a sponge.
It quickly melted, seeping into the skin like a liquid and spreading throughout the body from head to toe, leaving no spot untouched.
During the process, Ji Xinghuo felt a refreshing coolness, as if he were submerged in water.
His entire skin underwent changes.
He found it hard to describe the sensation, but he understood one thing: the Flow Barrier Ability related to his skin. The fusion lasted for about fifteen minutes. When he felt his skin stabilize, the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface displayed new Ability information.
[Ability: Flow Barrier (First Level 1/97)]
"The fusion succeeded!"
With a thought from Ji Xinghuo, a layer of transparent Energy Armor appeared around his body, only about a millimeter thick, easily overlooked if not examined closely.
This protective layer perfectly fitted his body, like a layer of flowing water, and did not inhibit any movements.
He lightly scratched his palm with his Lei Chi.
The Flow Barrier automatically activated, and the blade passed over without leaving any marks.
Meanwhile, a few points of Star Power were consumed.
Ji Xinghuo carefully sensed and found that the Flow Barrier did not directly consume Star Power but required the Star Power to be converted into Spiritual Energy to activate the Energy Armor.
"No wonder..." he realized internally.
The Flow Barrier relied on Spiritual Energy, which meant that Mutants without it couldn’t use it.
He conducted more tests, finding that the defensive power of a first-level Flow Barrier could withstand a shot from a laser gun or a bullet from an electromagnetic rifle, offering both physical and energy resistance. Such a defense was already quite impressive and was also automatically activated, safeguarding against sneak attacks.
"Then let’s upgrade it."
Ji Xinghuo checked the interface.
He had accumulated over eighty thousand points of Spiritual Origin Ability, which he had intended to save for emergencies, but now he decided to use some to upgrade the Flow Barrier.
