After saying goodbye to the others, Su Ping and Fan Yujing went to deal with the procedures to leave the base city. The Nether Stones were handed over to the quarantine station. After the inspection, the Nether Stones would be transported to the quarantine station in the city through a special route. Su Ping could go and pick them up by then.
The two of them drove through the night and returned to the base city.
By the time they reached the highway of the base city, the sun was already rising.
Su Ping leaned against the back of the passenger seat and yawned. Silently, he found the reward given by the system.
"'Solar Bulwark'!"
The reward this time was a secret manual of Divine Forging. The name sounded ancient.
The secret manual was imprinted in Su Ping's mind. He could not forget it even if he wanted to. He could read it with a single thought. "The Solar Bulwark is a unique constitution of the ancient Golden Crows. This constitution is indestructible and powerful. When cultivated to the highest level, the Golden Crows can shatter stars and be reborn from a single drop of blood!"
"The secret manual is to absorb energy from heaven and earth, refine the aura of gods and demons, refine the internal organs, enhance the body … When the soul and the body become one, the Golden Crow can turn into a young Golden Crow and surpass the speed of sound. The Golden Fire can burn everything …"
Su Ping finished reading. The tiredness in his eyes was gone. He was both surprised and delighted.
He knew that the system's reward would not be bad, but he didn't expect it to be this good!
This was a secret skill that only young Golden Crows could cultivate!
The various divine abilities and abilities described in the book were simply unheard of and extremely powerful!
"If I can master this [Solar Bulwark], then wouldn't I become a little god too?" Su Ping was excited at the thought. Golden Crows were beings that were born in the ancient times. Beast Kings and Astral Pets of the current era could not compare to them.
There were seven levels in total. Each level was difficult to cultivate, but at the same time, the improvement of each level was significant.
At the first level, the body would be invulnerable. Not even bullets from regular guns could kill the body. The body would be able to move as fast as the speed of sound. The physical strength of the body would be comparable to that of a fifth-rank pet!
At the second level, not only could he surpass the speed of sound, but he could also resist the armor-piercing shells from regular cannons. The toughness of his body would be comparable to that of an eighth or ninth-rank Astral Pet.
As for the third level, it was even more terrifying. The soul and body fused as one, allowing one to transform into a young Golden Crow. Even in outer space, one would be able to survive for a short period of time. One would also possess some basic Golden Crow abilities, such as the Golden Crow Divine Flame.
As expected of the Celestial Body Tempering Art. I can train myself to be even stronger than my pets. Maybe this is the true strength of battle pet warriors in ancient times, and the strength that a pet's master should have! Su Ping said to himself.
The off-road vehicle followed the highway into the city. After it got off the highway, it turned into the street. Not long after, it arrived at the place where Su Ping was picked up.
"We're here." Fan Yujing pulled the handbrake and got ready to open the door for Su Ping.
Su Ping did not wait for him to get up. He opened the door and got out of the car. "Bye bye."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Su." Fan Yujing smiled.
"Sure." Su Ping nodded. He waved at Fan Yujing and left.
Fan Yujing forced a bitter smile as he watched Su Ping leave. It was not until Su Ping disappeared around the corner that Fan Yujing looked away, released the handbrake, and went back inside.
…
…
"Eh, mom?"
Su Ping was just about to sneak into the house and pretend to be asleep when he saw his mother, Li Qingru, sitting in the living room. He froze as if a beast king was staring at him. He broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Qingru was leaning against the couch. She wasn't watching TV. She was staring into space and only came back to her senses when she heard the door open. She turned around and saw that it was Su Ping. She pulled a long face. "Where have you been all night?"
"You didn't sleep at all?" Su Ping was stunned. He felt guilty.
Li Qingru said, "Come here."
Su Ping walked over obediently, ready to be beaten.
Li Qingru stood up and sniffed him. She was relieved when she made sure that there was no smell of cigarettes or alcohol. "Where have you been?" she asked with a frown.
Su Ping lowered his head. "I went to fix the computer … Oh, no, I went to take care of someone's pet."
"Take care of your pet? All night? "Li Qingru was skeptical.
Su Ping had to make up more stories. He only managed to dispel Li Qingru's suspicions when he almost believed himself.
"Have you slept at night? Are you hungry? "
"…"
"Go wash your face first. You look tired. I'll make breakfast for you. When you're done, tell your sister to get up. Also, if you're too tired today, don't go to the store."
"…"
Su Ping would be lying if he said that he wasn't touched. For the first time in this strange world, he felt like he had found his home.
"Thank you, mom." Su Ping said in a low voice and went to wash his face. He covered his face with a towel for a long time before he could wipe it clean.
After washing his face, Su Ping went upstairs to Su Lingyue's room. He was about to knock when the door was opened. Su Lingyue was standing at the door as if she had known that he would come.
She threw a cold glance at Su Ping but said nothing. She pushed the door open and walked past him to go downstairs. On her way downstairs, she said coldly, "You're not allowed to go home without me."
Su Ping was surprised. He turned around but the girl had already gone downstairs.
Breakfast was peaceful that day. Su Lingyue went to the academy right after breakfast. It was rare that she didn't cause trouble for Su Ping. Su Ping went to the store on his bike after breakfast. Li Qingru kept telling him that he would be fine even if he took a day off. However, with Su Ping's current physical condition, staying up all night wouldn't affect him.
Business was as dull as usual. Few people came to the store. Those who did come would be told to leave after seeing the price. They didn't even have the chance to introduce the store to Su Ping.
Su Ping felt like a salted fish. He was bored.
Luckily, he had exchanged for the four basic augmentation skills in the explorers' warehouse. He could cultivate them in the store when there were no customers.
The augmentation skills required astral powers to construct astral patterns and brand them on the pets. To maintain the augmentation skills for a long time, the astral patterns had to be precise and complete. That way, the astral patterns would not dissipate too quickly and the augmentation skills would lose their effectiveness.
The astral patterns were complicated. However, Su Ping had seen the marvelous structure of the Chaos Star Chart. Therefore, drawing the astral patterns was a piece of cake for him. In just one day, he had grasped the first-rank augmentation skills of the four basic augmentation skills. That was fast enough. Usually, students would need at least one to three months to learn the augmentation skills. Some students would need at least a semester to master the skills.
Apart from cultivating the augmentation skills, Su Ping also used the computer in the store to log on to the explorers' website in his spare time. He was looking for some rare materials in the explorers' warehouse. Those were the materials he needed to cultivate the Solar Bulwark.
