Su Yuan’s eyes flashed with intense joy.
Just now, after opening the 1st Star Cave, he immediately began to impact the 2nd Star Cave.
The time spent on the 1st Star Cave was already more than half. Su Yuan didn’t even think he could open the 2nd Star Cave before class ended.
However, just as he was about to stop, he unexpectedly noticed a new change on the system panel!
"Su Yuan
Level: Bronze Early Stage
Soul Card: Azure Sky Phoenix
...
Breathing: General Breathing Method, Progress: First Star Nest 2nd Star Cave (42/100)"
Breathing... it actually appeared on the system panel?
And there was a progress of 42/100 next to it?
Su Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively called on the system to use Star Dust to add points!
Unexpectedly, it really worked!
The system’s energy appeared out of nowhere within his body and collided with the 2nd Star Cave. The progress on the panel rapidly soared at a visible speed, 40, 50, 70... 100!
In just two seconds, the progress jumped to 100/100, and the 2nd Star Cave was fully opened!
Surprised and delighted, Su Yuan looked up, only to find He Yanan staring at him in great shock.
Su Yuan secretly thought, "Not good." He had been too surprised and excited by the system panel’s change and had used the system to add points directly in front of an expert like He Yanan. He wasn’t sure if anything had been noticed.
Fortunately, He Yanan didn’t seem to have found anything.
The shock on He Yanan’s face soon turned into joy as she walked up to Su Yuan in a few steps.
"Su Yuan, have you already opened the 2nd Star Cave?"
He Yanan’s pupil skill could only see the flow of Star Power but couldn’t directly see how many Star Caves Su Yuan had opened, so she immediately sought confirmation from Su Yuan.
"It seems so!" Su Yuan’s face showed a timely excitement and disbelief. "Teacher Xiao He, I found that opening the Star Cave seems much easier than I thought!"
Hearing their conversation, Shang Baiyu and Luo Bingtong, sitting nearby, all opened their eyes in surprise.
"Su Yuan, have you really opened the 2nd Star Cave? So fast!" Shang Baiyu’s eyes were full of surprise. "When I opened the 2nd Star Cave on the second day, my family said the speed wasn’t slow. But you’re much more exaggerated than me!"
Xia Yue also exclaimed, "Is it really that monstrous? My second Star Cave has only just loosened a bit..."
Luo Bingtong looked at Su Yuan and then checked her own progress for the 2nd Star Cave, which was not even a third done, and she couldn’t help but tilt her head in confusion.
He Yanan, however, looked excited. "People’s constitutions are different. Besides the manipulation of Star Power, some people’s Star Caves might be naturally transparent, not as stubborn as normal ones."
As she spoke, He Yanan looked at Su Yuan and smiled. "It seems that you also have an extraordinary talent for Star Power Breathing!"
As Su Yuan’s homeroom teacher, He Yanan was one of the few who had access to Su Yuan’s Soul Card test report.
Thinking of this, Shang Baiyu returned to his dormitory, turned on his computer, and logged into the Task System...
Su Yuan returned to his dormitory and called up the system again:
"Star Dust: 720"
"Breathing: General Breathing Method, Progress: First Star Nest 3rd Star Cave (0/100)."
The remaining few hundred points of Star Dust were what was left after upgrading Hellfire Summon and Hellfire to Perfect last time.
To further upgrade these two skills to the Transformation Realm would require more than three thousand Star Dust each. Since that was still far away, it was better to add them to the Star Power Breathing first and see.
"System, add points!"
With a thought, Su Yuan directly began adding points!
Star Dust was consumed in increments of 100. Within moments, six Star Caves in the First Star Nest near Su Yuan’s left shoulder were all opened!
Su Yuan’s body shook slightly. Star Power from the vortex in his chest flowed out, passed through the six Star Caves one by one, and then returned to the vortex.
With this flow of Star Power, Su Yuan immediately felt a significant difference in his left hand from before!
"Gray Flame."
Su Yuan whispered softly. As the Star Power surged, a bluish-gray flame quickly formed and condensed on his left hand.
"Not only is the casting almost non-delayed, but the charging time for the Gray Flame has also reduced by nearly 20%!"
A hint of joy flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes.
Moreover, his own Star Power fluctuations had also become somewhat more restrained than before.
The effect of this Breathing Method... was indeed excellent!
Su Yuan opened the system panel again.
"Star Dust: 320"
"Breathing: General Breathing Method, Progress: Second Star Nest 7th Star Cave (0/100)."
"Teacher Xiao He said the Star Nests get harder to open as it progresses.
But for now, opening the Star Caves in the Second Star Nest requires the same amount of Star Dust as the First Star Nest.
Hence, it seems that the difficulty of opening the first four Star Nests, all being Entry-level, is the same.
Thus, 24 Entry-level Star Caves need 2400 Star Dust, equivalent to practicing 2 green skills to the Transformation Realm!
Breathing, as expected, isn’t easy to practice."
"But regardless, as long as Star Dust can resolve this, it’s not a problem!"
Su Yuan’s expression turned excited. In this way, as long as there was enough Star Dust, his progress in Breathing would be several times or even dozens of times faster than others!
"Though I don’t know how much Star Dust the fifth and sixth Star Nests require, it doesn’t take much to open the second, third, and fourth Star Nests. Let’s focus on reaching Entry-level first!"
Raising Breathing to Entry-level would not only provide an initial understanding of the Breathing’s effect but would also earn him 50 academic points from He Yanan!
Su Yuan pondered, "Then next, I need to hunt for more Star Dust..."
