Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 385 - 215: Dragon Soul Resonance, You Can’t Be Fang Qingyu!
The massive alloy gate slowly rose with a deep rumble.
Fang Qingyu ignored the discussions of the guards on the watchtower, calmly pulling Jiang Wei along as they walked into the Ashen Outpost.
Upon entering the outpost, a cacophony mixed with various odors came rushing at them.
Unlike the grotesque luxury of Starfire Castle, the interior of Ashen Outpost appeared more rugged and chaotic. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
The streets were narrow, lined with shops and residences built from containers, scrap metal sheets, dimly lit, and the air filled with the smell of motor oil, cheap fuel, and low-quality alcohol.
Various explorers dressed in bizarre outfits with imposing auras moved through the streets.
However, when Fang Qingyu, shirtless and holding Jiang Wei’s hand, appeared on the main street, the originally bustling environment quieted down considerably.
Countless eyes focused on them like searchlights.
There was astonishment, curiosity, reverence, and apprehension, except there was less of the usual scrutiny and malice reserved for new faces.
"Look! It’s Fang Qingyu!"
"Hiss... It really is him! What’s he doing at the Ashen Outpost?"
"Such a strong oppressive aura... More terrifying than the rumors..."
"That little girl beside him... Is she the legendary unfathomable little monster?"
"Shh... Keep it down! Don’t cause trouble!"
Whispers quickly spread through the crowd.
Fang Qingyu’s name had already reverberated throughout the peripheral outposts of the "Abyss" due to a series of shocking events, such as contesting the core of the relic, slashing down a Divine Chosen, and seizing Source Material at Starfire Castle.
Now appearing in person, the natural aura of oppressive dignity from the Dragon Blood Transformation and the leap in life level made these thrill-seeking desperados instinctively step aside, their eyes filled with reverence.
Fang Qingyu ignored these gazes.
He headed directly to a large shop on the street with a sign reading "Anvil Armament."
The shop owner, a modified martial artist with a face full of whiskers and thick arms, immediately plastered a smile that bordered on obsequiousness upon seeing Fang Qingyu enter: "Mr. Fang... Fang! Welcome! What do you need? Combat suits? Or weapons? We have it all! I’ll give you a 20% discount! No, 30%!"
Fang Qingyu tersely said, "A fitted combat suit, black."
"Sure thing! Right away! Please wait a moment!"
The owner personally went to search and quickly brought out a set of black combat suits made of tough material and with excellent craftsmanship.
Fang Qingyu took it casually, paid, and changed into it in the shop’s back room.
When he came out again, although still drawing attention, it was no longer as shockingly conspicuous as before.
Then, Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei moved to the relatively central area of Ashen Outpost.
They found a decent hotel and booked a top-tier suite.
Although the room was not luxurious, it was spacious, sturdy, and quiet.
After entering the room, he set up simple guard measures.
Fang Qingyu immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, calming his mind.
The powerful force from the breakthrough still needed to settle.
More importantly now was the Talent on the [Atlas] awaiting advancement.
[Musashi’s Spirit Core (★★)]!
"Let’s begin."
Fang Qingyu’s thoughts sank deep into the sea of consciousness, locking onto the Talent panel.
Buzz——!
[Detected Profession advancement is complete, Talent "Musashi’s Spirit Core (★★)" fulfills advancement conditions!]
[Would you like to proceed with Talent Sublimation immediately?]
"Yes!"
Upon confirming with his thoughts, an indescribable torrent of vast information instantly surged into Fang Qingyu’s mind, as if countless celestial stars exploded in the sea of consciousness, evolving into five distinctly different evolutionary paths.
[Please select a Talent Sublimation direction from the following: ]
[1. ★★★ "Ancestral Dragon Altar": In the depths of the sea of consciousness, with Dragon’s True Intent and vast Qi Blood as the basis, construct an illusory "Ancestral Dragon Altar." The altar can slowly draw and gather the sparse Dragon Qi in the heavens and earth, which can be used to infuse the body with gathered Dragon Qi, enhancing the cultivation efficiency of all Cultivation Techniques related to the Dragon Race bloodline.]
[2. ★★★ "Void Dragon Eyes": Eyes transform into "Void Dragon Eyes," allowing you to perceive energy nodes and flaws in Martial Technique moves during cultivation, optimizing cultivation efficiency, greatly enhancing the ability to detect weaknesses, and having a chance to see through opponent’s move imperfections, energy operation tracks, and even some True Intent Prototypes.]
[3. ★★★ "Dragon Soul Resonance": The Dragon Blood and Martial Arts Will within resonate highly during cultivation, greatly increasing the efficiency of all Martial Techniques and having a high chance of inducing Dragon Blood quenching the body, slightly enhancing Physique strength.]
[4. ★★★ "Celestial Stars Dragon": Merge Power of the Celestial Stars with the Dragon Qi within, significantly enhancing the efficiency of Observation Method and Qi Blood Technique cultivation.]
[5. ★★★ "Dragon Sleep Shedding Scales": Cyclically simulates the rebirth of a True Dragon shedding scales in life form. Every three months, you can actively or passively enter a deep "Dragon Sleep" state. After awakening from cocooning, a slight shedding and rebirth at the life level will occur, permanently elevating the total and quality of Qi Blood around the body.]
The five three-star Talent options were like five paths leading to different peaks, clearly presented in Fang Qingyu’s consciousness.
Each was incredibly powerful, far surpassing the previous two-star Talents.
Fang Qingyu’s gaze swiftly scanned each option, his mind working rapidly, weighing them against his current situation and future plans.
The Ancestral Dragon Altar emphasized the cultivation efficiency of Dragon Race bloodline-related Cultivation Techniques, but Fang Qingyu was not planning to only cultivate the Dragon Race Martial Techniques next.
Moreover, there was simply nowhere to find them.
This Dragon Transformation and Killing Technique also came from the Dragon Fist Grandmaster Profession.
As for the Void Dragon Eyes, it optimized cultivation and revealed weaknesses.
