Undead Evolution: From Trash To Divine-Chapter 47: Terrifying potential of Star Eater

Next morning.

Lukas sat in his room inside the Whitewood Inn. A pillar of star energy as thick as an adult human’s head descended from somewhere deep in the void. As it moved down, the pillar split into two small streams of star energy before disappearing into the stars behind his hands.

This process lasted for a breath of time. When Lukas’s eyes suddenly sprang open, a look of pure ecstasy was visible in them.

"My completely drained reserves were refilled in just half an hour of meditating. In the past, when I used to meditate with Night Dipper Star Energy Method, it took half a dozen hours. Amazing! As expected of a Rank Four star energy absorption method."

Lukas didn’t get up but continued to analyze the changes. It was only after the next breath of time that he stopped meditating and focused on something else.

Thinking of the second matter at hand, his eyes narrowed, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

No matter how many talents I have, if my cultivation doesn’t progress against Second Sequence monsters and awakeners at the Blood Infusion realm, these talents would be of no help.

Although high-grade talents can help me fight several levels above in the same realm, every major realm signifies a fundamental challenge in an awakener’s strength. As such, I can’t afford to ignore cultivation.

This was very clear not just to him but to all awakeners. It was an unwritten rule in the settlement: before achieving a Body Refining cultivation of at least Rank 3, no awakener moved out to hunt, spending their time inside doing odd jobs to earn money as they accumulated strength.

With all these thoughts in mind, Lukas’s thoughts wandered to the next matter at hand.

"The star beast horde might be dangerous, but if I play my cards right, not only can I farm talents and sacrifice points but also gather enough star crystals to buy my ticket back home..."

Lukas wasn’t clear exactly why, but according to the rumors, the price to use the settlement teleport and head back had been increased to ten thousand star crystals—a gigantic amount that many awakeners might not earn in their lifetime.

Although he had no reason to go back to the real world, he still wanted to check on his little sister. Their meeting may have been very brief, but Risa’s kindness had left a deep impression on him.

She had said everything was fine and that he didn’t need to worry, Lukas could tell she was hiding something. As to what exactly it was, he wasn’t sure.

The next moment, he shook his head to get rid of all these thoughts. Now was not the time to think. He’d better focus on the matters at hand.

With this thought in mind, he focused on the Star Eater Body Refining Method. Following its instructions, he pulled energy out from the stars and started circulating it through his body, starting from his head all the way down to his feet. As the energy flowed through his body, Lukas felt an incredibly giddy sensation all over his figure, as if he was getting a massage. Every single muscle in his body relaxed, slowly contracting and expanding, easing all the stored tension. As he continued to circulate again and again, a lightly pale coppery glow emerged from deep within him.

This pale glow represented his body cultivation at the Early Body Refining realm. With each circulation of the star energy, the coppery glow became more clear and defined. This process lasted for exactly fifteen minutes when Lukas’s eyes opened, and a slightly grim look appeared on his expression.

"My star energy—all of it is gone..."

The sensation was so blissful and satisfactory that Lukas completely forgot about the star energy expenditure. In just fifteen minutes, both of his stars were completely empty. If he had continued without noticing, he might have fainted from star energy exhaustion.

Thankfully I stopped in time... This short session was quite fruitful...

Lukas muttered while clenching and unclenching his fist. He could feel vigorous strength coursing through his veins. Although most of his star energy might have been gone, he could feel his strength had also increased by at least ten percent. If before he could casually throw a punch carrying a hundred kilograms of force, now it had increased to one hundred ten kilograms.

A significant increase, considering the fact that he had only meditated for just fifteen minutes.

The more Lukas thought about it, the more shocked he became. One must not forget: Star Eater Body Refining Method functioned the best when the user devoured organic matter, not by simply meditating. If instead of meditating, Lukas had devoured star beast flesh, the increase in strength might be doubled. Instead of ten percent, his strength would have increased by twenty percent.

And all of this was when the skill was only at rare grade. Once he upgraded it to epic grade or even legendary, just how fast would his strength increase?

Lukas almost started to drool while thinking about it.

No wonder Body refining methods were so expensive and hard to get even with money.

"Hmm, in the next few days, my priority should be upgrading the Star Eater Body Refining Method to at least legendary grade, if not directly evolving it to Second Sequence..."

While Lukas was thinking, the room door suddenly parted open, and a figure walked inside, drenched in blood from head to toe. It was none other than his roommate Ambrose.

His eyes sharpened, after all this time had had almost forgotten about her, Lukas’s gaze didn’t linger on her figure but instead moved to the sword hanging on her waist. Compared to how sharp its edge was before, right now the sword was chipped at various places and even looked slightly bent.

All in all, the sword had been seriously violated!

Compared to Ambrose’s dirty but alluring appearance, after resting, Lukas had changed back into a fresh set of clothes—a loose white robe.

Maybe it was the clean appearance or something else, but Ambrose seemed to have misunderstood something and said in a cold tone:

"What a coward! To not even go out to defend your home! You deserve to have your home destroyed by the star monsters..."

Looking at his clean appearance, Ambrose had concluded that Lukas had stayed in this room during the last wave, hiding until the danger passed.

Hmph!

Hearing her cold words, a frown appeared on his face.
