Chapter 1782: Chapter 1780: New Means

"After the Devouring Technique was deployed, Peter Brown not only broke through the two-star barrier but also swept away the remaining Luck completely."

"You rascal, how did you just break through?" Feeling that there was no more Luck left on the Qi Luck Tower, those sitting cross-legged all opened their eyes, and one of the chubby men turned to Peter Brown and asked.

Peter Brown pretended to be clueless and responded, "I was just a little bit short of star power from reaching two stars, unable to break through for so long; unexpectedly, I broke through as soon as I started energy infusing. But, wasn’t the Luck too meager this time?"

Hearing that he managed to break through under such circumstances, the doubts of the others relaxed, and several people stopped talking to Peter Brown and left one after another.

As Peter Brown got up and walked outside, a Four Star Expert looked at Peter Brown, smiled and said, "Regardless, you gained something and managed a breakthrough; that itself is a testament to your Luck."

After patting Peter Brown on the shoulder, the man didn’t say anything more.

It was then that Peter Brown realized he had nowhere to go and sought the Three-star individual responsible for arranging positions.

Seeing Peter Brown arrive, the Three-star said, "You’re Peter Brown, right? I just received the command; you’re a Junior Captain now. However, there are no subordinates for you yet, so you’ll just have to enjoy the perks for now. Since there are no subordinates for you and you’re at the level of a Junior Captain, I’ll arrange a tent just for you, and you’ll live alone."

Peter Brown’s eyes lit up when he heard this; the treatment sounded truly favorable to him.

"Thank you."

The Three-star person looked at Peter Brown and added, "The Senior Captain also specially allocated ten Divine Stones to you. Take good care of them."

Divine Stones too!

At this point, Peter Brown was genuinely delighted; having these ten Divine Stones was a significant boost for him.

Soon, Peter Brown’s tent was arranged, conveniently located next to his original one.

When Peter Brown returned to his old squad, he saw only two people meditating inside.

"Only the two of you left?" Peter Brown asked Chuck Smith.

With a sigh, Chuck Smith replied, "Now it’s just me and Hallie Miller left."

Peter Brown sighed as well, surprised that only they two remained.

"I haven’t congratulated you yet—you actually killed a Four Star Expert!"

Peter Brown said, "I just snagged a lucky chance, no big deal."

Chuck Smith didn’t say anything else; his reluctance to talk was evident, as he seemed uncomfortable with the fact that his former subordinate was now a rank above him.

Seeing him like this, Peter Brown also lost interest in talking and, after exchanging a few words with Hallie Miller, left.

Back in his own tent, Peter Brown finally had time to check his own situation.

Peter Brown still had some savings aside from the items rewarded this time. Because he had also killed that Four-star Level individual, he casually picked up the opponent’s storage bag, which on the battlefield in such circumstances doesn’t have to be turned in, naturally becoming Peter Brown’s spoils of war.

Taking out the storage bag, Peter Brown examined the small pouch curiously. He was intrigued; in the Land of the Divine Realm, some methods were unusable, but items like the storage bag were still operational.

After a bit of research, Peter Brown figured out how to use the storage bag. It wasn’t opened by Divine Sense but by dripping his own blood on it which allowed him to see and conveniently access the contents inside.

Looking into the Four Star Expert’s bag, Peter Brown saw to his amazement that there were over a hundred Divine Stones inside and a large amount of Divine Wood.

If it had been before, so much Divine Wood would have been enough to make him happy, but now things were completely different. Peter Brown had little interest in Divine Wood and was rather more intrigued by the Divine Stones.

Looking further inside, Peter Brown discovered a cultivation art, called the Red Cloud Spear technique.

After studying the Red Cloud Spear technique for a while, Peter Brown shook his head. It was indeed a powerful spear technique, but it wasn’t of much use to Peter Brown.

Nevertheless, the technique did have one benefit for Peter Brown—it offered a different way of channeling cultivation energy, which would be useful for him when devising new cultivation arts.

Huh!

Peter Brown also found some sharp daggers inside the bag.

Upon seeing the Twelve Daggers, Peter was startled; this guy had been a master of hidden weapons, and if Peter hadn’t suddenly killed him, the outcome might have been dire had the opponent used these daggers.

Indeed, Peter Brown found a manual for a hidden weapon technique called the Flying Flower Knife.

After carefully examining it for a while, Peter Brown shook his head in disappointment. Compared to the hidden weapon techniques he had seen in the Lower Realm, it was far inferior. Other than the technique’s energy circulation pathways during usage, it wasn’t of much use to Peter Brown.

Storing the storage bag away, Peter Brown started to ponder what strategies he could use moving forward.

Clearly, formation was still unusable due to the excessive energy required for activation.

Peter Brown realized that for him, large-scale methods were practically infeasible, so what he could use were Talismans. Not all Talismans could be used either; the more powerful ones required more energy, thus for now, he was limited to less energy-consuming methods.

The Illusionary Charm would definitely still be useful, but what other methods could be available?

Peter Brown started thinking about defense; being only at the two-star Fate level, his defense was weak even with battle armor providing some protection. However, it wasn’t sufficient against high-level attackers. Hence, one crucial task before Peter now was to upgrade his defenses so that even Four Star Experts couldn’t kill him with a single strike.

With this in mind, Peter Brown considered the energy Recovery after star power depletion.

Peter had noticed that star power was consumed in battle, but only the energy was used up, not the Luck, which was separate and wasn’t lost. Thus, after meditating and energy infusing, one naturally recovered.

With this realization, Peter Brown thought about creating an Energy-Infused Protective Charm.

Could he research some charms that would instantly protect him, allowing him to withstand powerful hits without dying?

For a Talisman master like Peter Brown, having the right materials made work easier. Sitting cross-legged, he began his research.
