Chapter 137: Chapter 102: Star Fall Ability

Jing Ji learned more details from the bounty hunters present.

As it turned out, Alex’s two teammates were no ordinary individuals: one was Evil Wind Guest, and the other was actually a Dream Weaver.

"Dream Weaver..." Jing Ji’s face revealed a flash of realization.

Ji Xinghuo had also roughly guessed the process.

Dream Weaver was an advanced profession, extremely rare, a career progression from Mind Hacker combined with Illusion Sound Master. There were probably only a few dozen in the entire world. True to their name, Dream Weavers could silently kill their enemies in their sleep, causing instant brain death!

Alex was a Blood Butcher, whose blood contained potent poison. Evil Wind Guest was also notorious for using poison, and on a large scale at that.

The trio, with their rare professions, could indeed potentially take out every enemy inside Tower Camp with a sneak attack.

Jing Ji turned in the spoils of war.

The haul from last night wasn’t small. After tallying up, the points of the trio increased by over a hundred, overtaking Alex’s team once more and returning to the top three.

Upon exiting the bounty hall, Jing Ji had a very solemn look on his face.

In a low voice, he said, "Dream Weaver and Evil Wind Guest, they’re a bit tricky. No wonder they’ve managed to keep up with the points."

"Alex must have planned for a long time," Ji Xinghuo mused thoughtfully. "Even relying on poisoning and mind control to take out an entire Tower Camp requires an element of surprise and is hard to replicate. The Beiluo Shimen Clan would strengthen their defenses against such tactics."

"They don’t need to do this every day. Succeeding just three or four times a month would put us under a lot of pressure," Jing Ji said, no longer the relaxed expression he had before.

Yuan Chongzhen suddenly suggested, "Why don’t we pull off a big one too?"

"Don’t be impulsive."

Jing Ji shook his head, "Even the smallest Tower Camp has a population of over three hundred. Such numbers attacking us would be very dangerous despite our strength. The risk is too great."

The three of their professions were geared towards ambush and quick combat.

They would certainly not be weak in a direct fight, but they did not possess the kind of widespread destructive power Alex’s team had, the kind that could still keep the noise of battle under control.

Ji Xinghuo had no good solutions either.

Jing Ji looked contemplative, "For now, let’s stick to our own pace and ensure we stay ahead on points. If they manage to pull it off again and overtake us, then we will consider."

With that, the three split up.

Seven days later.

Ji Xinghuo and his partners returned from the hunt and as they entered the bounty hall, they saw that Alex’s points had once again surged, surpassing their own by more than 200 points.

After asking around, they found out that Liyax’s team had wiped out another enemy camp just last night, 200-plus kilometers away, using the same approach as before—with the enemy caught off guard, they succeeded.

They had eliminated more than five hundred members of the Beiluo Shimen Clan.

What Jing Ji feared had unfortunately come to pass.

He handed in his spoils of war for the bounty and points. However, even with the addition of the points, he was still behind Alex, almost 100 points apart.

"What do we do?" Yuan Chongzhen asked.

"Let me think."

Jing Ji furrowed his brows, obviously unable to come up with a good solution at once.

"How about we use poison too?" Yuan Chongzhen suggested, "We don’t have Evil Wind Guest to disperse the poison, but we could try poisoning their food."

"It’s difficult." Jing Ji shook his head, "Poisoning food is too easily discovered."

They had discussed many strategies previously, and naturally, poisoning was one of them. However, standard poisoning tactics had been tested countless times over a century of standoff between enemies, and both sides had developed comprehensive defensive methods.

Ji Xinghuo suddenly said, "We don’t necessarily have to mimic Alex’s methods."

"What do you mean?"

"They win by quantity; we win by quality," Ji Xinghuo whispered. "We may not be able to kill as many enemies, but we can kill the strongest ones."

The color drained from both Jing Ji and Yuan Chongzhen’s faces.

They understood what Ji Xinghuo meant: hunting down legendary strongmen!

The bounty office awarded points for enemy kills – one point for First Rank, two for Second, and so on, but this only applied up to Fourth Rank enemies.

For Fifth Rank spoils of war, which is to say killing a legendary enemy, they awarded 3000 points!

"No!" Jing Ji immediately rejected the idea.

Yuan Chongzhen also shook his head fervently, now realizing that Ji Xinghuo was daringly audacious. As an Intermediate Mutant, he was actually considering targeting legendary strongmen.

A legendary strongman’s power was worlds apart from those below legendary status!

In terms of Star Power alone, the newly advanced legendary beings were at least five times stronger than Super Mutants, and that was just the beginning. Furthermore, the Star Power of a legendary being had a unique quality, a form of energy that could also be termed "attribute," but even more complex and sophisticated.

The Star Power forms of legendary strongmen were entirely different from that of Super Mutants.

By this stage, their Star Power was visible in circulation, and if one advanced to Legendary Second Dan, their Star Power could be emitted outwardly.

Legend was divided into two stages: First Dan and Second Dan.

Star Power Emission was the hallmark of a Legendary Second Dan, and any Ability they unleashed bore terrifying power!

A casual blow could kill a Super Mutant.

Ji Xinghuo had a direct impression of this; last time in Deep Rock Rift Valley, the team of five Super Mutants, each a standout among their own, joined forces but were smashed to pieces like cutting vegetables by a legendary Dagon person, with only two managing to flee.

Ordinary Super Mutants were virtually powerless against legendary strongmen, just as the average person was against a Mutant.

Otherwise, the bounty office wouldn’t be offering 3000 points.

In addition to points, killing any legendary enemy netted a bounty of one billion Ya Yuan!

"Losing the bet just means I leave Midpoint Fortress, get cursed at for a few years, that’s all." Jing Ji was adamant, "But hunting legendary strongmen, that’s truly life-threatening."

He looked at Ji Xinghuo, "We don’t need to take such a huge risk."

"I know."

Ji Xinghuo smiled, it was just a casual remark on his part.

"We’re not necessarily going to lose."

"As long as we gain points steadily every day, we can overtake them back in two to three days. If we want to be more secure, we can extend the hunting time, and not come back to Midpoint Fortress every day, go further, and return once every two or three days. That way we can also increase our hunting efficiency," Jing Ji said with feigned ease.

"Besides, Alex can’t always be successful in his attacks on the camp, right?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

After they separated, Ji Xinghuo took Qing Hong out of his pocket in the hotel room, placed it on his palm, and played with it to alleviate his boredom.

Till now, he had never let Qing Hong appear in front of Jing Ji and the other person.

Spend most of the day concealed in his pocket had made Qing Hong quite frustrated. It had already protested many times.

Ji Xinghuo could only return to the fortress, buy it some tasty food to compensate, and take the time to play with it for a while.

He opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface and took a glance.

[Spiritual Origin Ability: 3455]

Ever since the last time he upgraded Thunderbolt Hand to the Fourth Level, Ji Xinghuo hadn’t upgraded any Ability. He had been saving all the Spiritual Origin Energy he gained daily, and now it had accumulated to 3455 points!

It was the most Spiritual Origin Energy he had saved at once.

Looking at the Ability information on the interface, except for the Third Level Rotating Magnetic Field, all other Abilities, including Qing Hong’s, could be directly upgraded.

He didn’t consider for too long before he made a decision.

Looking at the mini and cute Qing Hong, Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, "It’s you, Alien Coexistence!"

Alien Coexistence was currently at (First Level 1/3299).

As he predicted, for every Level Alien Coexistence increased, he could share one more Ability from Qing Hong, and Qing Hong would do the same.

Qing Hong possessed four Abilities, and the remaining three were Dimension Stomach, Miniaturization, and Spirit Smell.

What Ji Xinghuo wanted was, naturally, the Dimension Stomach, which was a one-in-three chance.

He started to pour Spiritual Origin Energy into Alien Coexistence. As the numbers rapidly decreased, progress swiftly climbed, and in less than two minutes, it was filled, becoming 3299/3299.

In an instant, Ji Xinghuo felt the changes within himself.

Alien Coexistence, which had already merged into his flesh and blood, was being awakened. The psychic connection between him and Qing Hong was growing tighter and clearer.

Qing Hong also sensed it and looked up at Ji Xinghuo, its golden eyes filled with expectation.

"Star Fall Ability!"

"It has to be the Dimension Stomach!"

As Ji Xinghuo thought this to himself, he saw Qing Hong reveal its true body.

Since establishing Alien Coexistence with Qing Hong, coupled with luxuriant meals and Third Level Ether Affinity, its size had increased quickly. It now exceeded three meters in length, and the Star Power inside its body had almost doubled. It far surpassed Elite monsters in strength but was still a long way from Superior Spiritual Creatures.

At this moment, Ji Xinghuo saw countless streams of Ether Energy rush into Qing Hong’s serpentine body, and it grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Electric currents emerged on its delicate and smooth scales.

"No way?"

Ji Xinghuo was startled, thinking Qing Hong had shared the Rotating Magnetic Field from him, but on a closer look, it wasn’t so.

Its magnetic field was changing, but it lacked the unique vortex phenomenon of the Rotating Magnetic Field. Compared to the commotion when he had merged the Rotating Magnetic Field, it seemed too quiet.

"So it shared Thunderbolt Hand!"

Ji Xinghuo felt somewhat disappointed. If Qing Hong also had Rotating Magnetic Field, its strength would immediately increase by more than tenfold, possibly ascending to a Superior Spiritual Creature right away.

But this was good, too.

All this time, Qing Hong lacked a powerful means of attack, and Thunderbolt Hand filled that gap.

On the small interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, Qing Hong’s information was updated. Its Abilities now included "Thunderbolt Hand (Fourth Level 1/2833)."

Simultaneously, Ji Xinghuo felt something unusual happening in his stomach.

Gurgle, gurgle...

A strange noise came from his belly.

Ji Xinghuo was not alarmed but rather excited.

"One-in-three odds, and I’ve actually won the bet!" He clenched his fist, almost jumping for joy.

He was finally getting the Star Fall Ability!

Gradually, Ji Xinghuo felt his stomach forming a magical space. It started as an infinitesimal point, then suddenly expanded. As immense Ether Energy poured into his body and converged in his stomach, the space slowly grew.

After several minutes, the space expanded to about 1.8 cubic meters and then stabilized.

"Amazing!"

Ji Xinghuo felt an indescribable sensation. This dimensional space took his body as its base point but was independent of the Star Realm Space.

Its volume was so much larger than his own body, yet it wasn’t visible from the outside.

Another Ability was added to the interface information column: Dimension Stomach (First Level 20/1021).

Alien Coexistence, meanwhile, changed to (Second Level 1/10799).

Ji Xinghuo was about to study the usage of the Dimension Stomach when he suddenly heard many people’s voices outside the hotel, someone was shouting in alarm.

He hurriedly walked to the balcony of the room and at once, he witnessed the anomaly in the sky. A radiant starlight shrouded an area spanning hundreds of kilometers, unmistakably clear even in daylight. The surrounding world darkened as if it had prematurely entered Star Night.

A dazzling starlight streaked across the sky, plummeting from the heavens like a falling star!

And it was heading straight for his location.

Star Fall Phenomenon!
