Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 76 - 37: Sword Control Technique Upgrade, Boss Battle, and the Opportunist Behind
The small episode quickly became a thing of the past, and Su Yu forgot about it the next day. He was up and spirited at dawn, jumping into the Yuanjiang River to continue.
Time flew by as Su Yu buried himself in rigorous practice in this stretch of water without a sense of time, and before he knew it, a month had passed.
Returning to the water early in the morning after eating something, he casually summoned the flying sword to sweep up a group of Black Fish Spirits nearby, killing them with a few strikes. Suddenly, he received a notification:
"Notification: Your Sword Control Technique [Entering and Leaving the Cyan Nether] has accumulated enough experience and has been upgraded to the second level."
"Notification: Your Sword Control Technique [Thousand Miles of Sword Control] has accumulated enough experience and has been upgraded to the second level."
He immediately opened the panel to check his attributes—
[Entering and Leaving the Cyan Nether]: While controlling the sword, a layer of Sword Qi can be formed outside the body to protect it. Sword flight is not affected by Gang Wind, and the altitude of sword control is increased. Current Level Two 1/100
The second level can reach an altitude of 10,000 meters.
[Thousand Miles of Sword Control]: Increases the attack range of the flying sword, currently Level Two 1/100.
The second-level sword control range is ten kilometers.
"Not bad!"
Previously, the altitude of his sword control was limited by the level of his Sword Control Technique, unable to exceed a height of 1,000 meters. Now that [Entering and Leaving the Cyan Nether] has been upgraded to Level Two, it can exceed 1,000 meters, up to a maximum of 10,000 meters.
[Thousand Miles of Sword Control] is the same. Originally, the furthest sword control range would not exceed one kilometer. Beyond one kilometer, the connection between himself and the flying sword would weaken, and at too great a distance, he would completely lose control.
Now, he can casually attack a few kilometers away with the sword, with a maximum range of no more than ten kilometers.
Closing the panel, Su Yu extended his hand, and the flying sword pierced through the river water, striking three kilometers away and encircling a group of Grass Fish Spirits. After a few sweeps, he turned to the right to encircle another group of Aquatic Race spirits further away.
"Awesome!"
With this, he no longer has to change locations after a short period, standing in one place and covering a radius of 10 kilometers, greatly improving efficiency.
Originally able to accumulate about 1.2 million experience points daily, now with a 30% efficiency increase, he accumulates at least 1.5 million experience points a day, sometimes even reaching 1.6 million.
"Bang!"
With a palm strike of Purple Essence Qi Strength, he pulverized a Grass Fish Spirit charging at him. Su Yu extended his hand and summoned the flying sword to collect the two spoils of war.
As he was about to open the spoils, a massive undercurrent suddenly surged forward, pushing him two meters backward.
Su Yu instantly became alert, quickly scanning his surroundings, finding no monster ambush.
Putting his mind at ease and preparing to continue examining, he suddenly heard a muffled roar in the distance, followed by an even more turbulent undercurrent.
"Is there a BOSS fight going on?"
He casually opened the spoils and stored them away, flying towards the direction of the undercurrent.
He had barely flown a kilometer when another muffled sound came from ahead, and a larger undercurrent surged forward, carrying a mass of spirits.
He immediately assumed a battle stance, but all these spirits passed him in panic without even glancing at him.
"There really is a BOSS fight going on."
Su Yu’s mind stirred, calling up the panel, focusing on the Jiezhi Concealment Skill and Invisibility Skill, quickly spending 50 million cultivation points and 200 dao points to upgrade Jiezhi Concealment Skill to the second level.
As soon as the Secret Skill was mastered, he quickly activated the Secret Skill, causing his entire being and the Spiritual Light of the Magical Robe to rapidly withdraw and disappear. Even the Waterless Space attached to the Black Water Profound Pearl vanished—not because the magic disappeared, but because the Spiritual Light was internalized, transforming from visible to invisible.
Next, he cast the Invisibility Skill, vanishing entirely.
An undercurrent surged in, driving the aquatic spirits into a panic without any noticing him. One even bumped straight into him.
Su Yu slightly shifted to avoid it, moving against the current, encountering more and higher-level aquatic spirits the further he went, with some even over 90 levels and bodies measuring several meters, even up to over twenty meters.
But none of these spirits detected him, treating him as if he were not there.
Five minutes later, Su Yu passed the last wave of over 90-level spirits to arrive at a particular underwater location, where he saw the river water boiling, densely packed with Gui Water elite blue lights gathering and exploding back and forth, with occasional golden lightning bursts, turning an area ten kilometers across into chaos.
Gui Water Divine Thunder roared, the unknown beast bellowed, and the riverbed was as chaotic as a boiling pot of oil.
In the midst emerged large bodies, appearing and disappearing in an instant, but this fleeting glimpse allowed Su Yu to see its attributes.
Azure Flood Dragon (Elite): Leader, Level 126, Aquatic Race, Flood Dragon.
Attributes: Qi and Blood 2.26 million/2.88 million, Demonic Power 380,000, Attack Power 22,000, Speed 1500 km/h, Demon Skill: Water series magic, Walking Flood Dragon Skill, ???
Golden Turtle Crab General (Terrifying): Leader, Level 156, Aquatic Race, General under the Yuanjiang River God’s navy.
Attributes: Qi and Blood 2.86 million/4.26 million, Demonic Power 260,000, Attack Power 40,000, Speed 1100 km/h, Demon Skill: ???
"Wow, such high-level big BOSSs."
Su Yu quickly stopped, both nervous and excited, muttering to himself:
"What a golden opportunity, fight a little more fiercely, hope for both to be severely wounded."
This life-or-death battle between two big BOSSs was a perfect chance to take advantage and pick up some spoils.
If they sortie each other until exhaustion, he could suddenly strike at the last moment to claim the final hit. Even if unable to obtain the highest spoils, he could still get 20% of the cultivation points and dao points, along with a few random spoils.
A BOSS of this level could at least drop a Tier Six Flying Sword Magical Treasure, with a certain probability of directly dropping a Tier Seven Flying Sword Magical Treasure.
Though the probability of dropping a Tier Seven Flying Sword Magical Treasure is minimal, snagging one means hitting the jackpot, shooting straight to the skies.
