Chapter 170: Super Evolution, The Power of S-Class Spiritual Energy User Bai Fu! [78k]
The sudden dodge by He Fu surprised Holter.
He had originally planned to subdue Bai Fu within a few seconds, but this delay was now stretching towards twenty or thirty seconds, far beyond his expectations.
However, he wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he felt excited.
By using the mental secret domain to seal off the workshop, even if he were to bang drums and dance inside, no one outside would notice anything unusual.
Therefore, before the next group responsible for escorting prayer cards arrived, he had ample time to play with Bai Fu!
Of course, having ample time didn’t mean he would really play around.
Compared to personal honor and emotions, Holter placed more importance on the mission assigned by the Tower of Secrets.
In short, he would first complete the task assigned above, and then depending on the situation, either kill Bai Fu immediately or use spiritual abilities to manipulate her into saying things that would cause public outrage, thereby gathering evidence to tarnish her reputation.
In fact, he didn’t want to do this so thoroughly, but those undead beings had made him unhappy.
Holter took a big step towards He Fu, and behind him, silver threads spread out like dancing spider webs. The pressure emanating from these threads made He Fu feel as if she were stuck in quicksand, unable to move an inch.
“You’re quite good at running, aren’t you?”
“Since you refuse to honestly reveal the whereabouts of the prototype, I will investigate personally. Struggling is meaningless. In the mental secret domain, no one will come to save you!”
At the moment their distance closed to two meters, countless silver threads surged out, completely entangling He Fu.
Good, now let me read your spiritual world… Hmm?
Holter suddenly froze.
Where was the spiritual world he expected? Why was there nothing?
He tried to read, only to see a white expanse.
What a fool, a true spirit without its own thinking ability wouldn’t have any spiritual world except a white expanse!
While Holter was bewildered, Bai Fu began her skill point allocation journey.
The newly learned “Spiritual Essence of the Second Apostle” was advanced knowledge related to prayer, but it differed greatly from conventional prayer knowledge.
[“Only by living can you output”]
This was the first sentence in the preface of “Spiritual Essence of the Second Apostle.” The rest of the content perfectly interpreted this statement:
Don’t bother about giving buffs or debuffs to others. When you have free time, pray more for yourself. Even when supporting others, don’t neglect yourself!
This concept deeply resonated with Bai Fu.
She hadn’t reached the stage where she pursued flashy skills yet. First, she needed to ensure her own survival to better exploit players, Youlia, or even herself during idle times.
“Spiritual Essence of the Second Apostle” did not disappoint Bai Fu. Upon mastering this knowledge, she unlocked a rare talent.
[“You have mastered a new talent [Immune to Critical Hits]”]
As the name suggests, immune to critical hits meant she could avoid all critical damage. The principle was that her body temporarily turned into spiritual energy when attacked, thus eliminating any weak points.
This talent was incredibly powerful, making her much tougher due to the lack of critical damage. Especially against opponents who relied heavily on critical hits, immunity to critical hits rendered them nearly useless.
Bai Fu happily clicked the upgrade button, and shortly after—
[“Trans-classification successful”]
[“You unlocked a new class [Miracle Constructor], current level Lv1, Agility +1, Constitution +3, Intelligence +2, Inspiration +5, Attribute Points +6”]
[“You completed your fourth trans-classification, each 1 point of Constitution increases HP by 10, and Spirit Energy by 10”]
[“You learned a new skill [Advanced Prayer Specialization], [Advanced Prayer Enhancement]”]
[“You learned a new skill [Void Card Creation]”]
[“You learned a new skill [Prayer Card Recycling]”]
[“You learned a new skill [Shadow Substitute]”]
Once again, she experienced the familiar sensation of her entire body being infused with spiritual energy, scalp tingling as if mild electric currents flowed through her.
Bai Fu was immersed in this feeling, which almost rivaled the joy of doing experiments with Youlia.
The evolution of life was this joyful.
She could clearly feel her body becoming more perfect than before. Though she was still the same person with the same features, her skin became smoother and finer, her proportions closer to the golden ratio, and even her fingers and toes seemed redesigned with more perfect curves, more appealing colors, and more harmonious appearances.
Regarding other parts, because Youlia was right in front of her, she didn’t dare measure them with her hands.
[“Every time I trans-classify or evolve my race, my body becomes more perfect. If this continues, I’ll eventually evolve into what they call the ‘Ultimate Body.’]
Of course, this was only true if she remained human or carbon-based life form. If she evolved into another species, there would be no more flesh to talk about.
Bai Fu quickly reviewed the newly unlocked skills.
[“Advanced Prayer Specialization”] and [“Advanced Prayer Enhancement”] were upgrades of existing skills, both enhancing the effects of prayer cards, with the former providing an additional 30 points of inspiration.
[“Void Card Creation”] was a unique skill exclusive to card-playing spiritual energy users that could only be unlocked upon reaching the S-Class rank. It worked simply by creating prayer cards through spiritual energy consumption, without requiring any card-making materials.
The cards created through this skill were identical to official cards but had the disadvantage of not being able to be saved for long or given to others.
Despite many limitations, this skill was considered the core ability for card-playing spiritual energy users. Their main combat style involved playing cards, and with enough cards, they could perform various incredible operations. However, once their cards ran out, their strength would plummet. With this skill, such anxiety would be significantly reduced.
[“Prayer Card Recycling”] was also a very practical skill. Previously, once used, prayer cards like [“Little Black Fu”] and [“Spiritual Shield”] were gone forever, even if they were found unusable later. But now, with the skill, they could be recovered in their current state.
This skill effectively reduced the cost of creating cards for card-playing spiritual energy users. However, Bai Fu valued this not just for that reason. With this skill, she could open a second-hand prayer card sales area in Anya’s mysterious shop, selling cheap used cards to players who wanted to buy them but found them unaffordable, achieving comprehensive harvesting.
The last skill, [“Shadow Substitute”], was a displacement skill that allowed her to enter a [“Phantom”] state, invisible to the naked eye. After transforming into a phantom, her body would undergo a forced displacement and leave behind a spiritual energy shadow to confuse the opponent.
“Great stuff!”
Bai Fu was overjoyed. Such survival-oriented skills were always welcome, regardless of the situation.
With skills reviewed, the next step was to continue upgrading and allocating attribute points.
Bai Fu had nearly 200 million experience points. She upgraded [“Miracle Constructor”] from Lv1 to Lv7 in one go. After reaching the S-Class rank, the experience required for each level-up increased significantly. After this level-up, she was still 18 levels away from her next trans-classification.
This gap was significant, but she wasn’t worried.
After this trans-classification, her individual strength ranked among the top in the Sea Lion Galaxy System. With Scarlet Leaf backing her up, she could now freely search for other newbie planets.
As long as she found one or two newbie planets, she wouldn’t need to worry about lacking experience. Those newbie planets were untouched virgin territories; she didn’t need to transform into a super seductress to extract experience. Just by using her regular strength, she could easily extract billion-level experience, which was already enough to fill her up in a short time. Beyond that, she couldn’t digest it all.
“Delicious players, I’m coming to pamper you all, hehe!”
In fact, Bai Fu still had about 50 million experience points, enough for two more level-ups. However, at this point, the cost-effectiveness of simply leveling up was far less than increasing skill levels.
She allocated all these experience points to [“Advanced Prayer Enhancement”] and [“Shadow Substitute”], fully upgrading both skills. After reaching full level in [“Advanced Prayer Enhancement”], her prayer card effect bonuses increased from 80% to 130%, a 50% increase. [“Shadow Substitute”] had no revolutionary changes at full level, only improvements in displacement distance and duration.
After allocating points, Bai Fu’s attributes received a comprehensive boost—
[“Health Points”] 20600/20600
[“Spirit Energy”] 28975/28975
[“Qi”] 2290/2290
[“Attributes”] Strength 122, Agility 238, Constitution 374, Intelligence 230, Spirit 219, Inspiration 827
Compared to before, inspiration improved by only 104 points, but spirit energy increased by a full ten thousand.
Stronger basic power, longer endurance, higher output boosts, and more unpredictable combat styles—this was Bai Fu after breaking through to the S-Class!
“Once I master several more S-Class advanced knowledge, unlock more skills and prayer card blueprints, and raise the levels of spiritual constructs, dimensional anomalies, and apostle wills, then I will truly evolve into a complete form!”
Bai Fu was ambitious.
She had already weathered the most difficult times after arriving in the Star Ocean. As long as she didn’t encounter overwhelmingly strong opponents, every step forward would be upward.
Although she was still in her mature phase, not yet a complete form, let alone a supreme form, she was already powerful enough to send that person claiming to be the “Titan Hammer” on his way.
Bai Fu had He Fu cast a spiritual vision on Holter.
[“Name”] ?:
[“Template”] : Special-Dream Weaver
[“Primary Profession”] : Dream Weaver Lv5 [+75]
[“Secondary Profession”] : None
[“Health Points”] : 9780/9780
[“Spirit Energy”] : 23140/23140
[“Attributes”] : …, Spirit 767, …
[“Danger Level”] : Blue
“A spirit energy of 767, that’s actually quite high. The game rates his danger level as blue, meaning theoretically, Holter’s strength isn’t much different from mine. However, I have He Fu as a special true spirit, and I also have the bonus from Mind Blessing.”
Not much difference?
Bai Fu smiled at Youlia, who had been watching her since she started trans-classifying. “Stay here and wait for me, I’ll be back soon.”
She didn’t have He Fu act immediately but prepared to cooperate with her for a pincer attack.
This approach was safer, but her main goal was to try to extract more information from Holter, to understand his true identity.
[“He came to find me for the prototype of the dissociative medication. He likely comes from the force behind Singularity Company. We must figure out their true identity. I don’t want to be haunted by unknown enemies.”]
…
Workshop.
After several failed attempts to read Holter’s mind, his mood gradually turned violent.
His plans were so well-calculated, successfully avoiding all probes, even capturing Bai Fu, but he hit a brick wall when trying to interrogate her about the prototype. How could he accept this!
“It seems you have something that blocks mental probing. No wonder you showed no fear when facing me.”
Holter’s face twisted into a sinister expression.
“It’s useless. I still have time. This time is enough for me to completely destroy your mental will. Whether you speak or not doesn’t matter. I can piece together the intelligence I need from your fragmented memories!”
His eyes turned silvery white.
At this moment, He Fu suddenly spoke, “The prototype of the dissociative medication is stored by you in Singularity Company, isn’t it? What’s your research purpose? Are you researching a drug that can awaken everyone’s spiritual mutation, or a drug that can turn people into shadow phantoms?”
Upon hearing this, Holter’s body trembled violently, the silvery glow in his eyes dissipating, revealing shock and disbelief deep within his pupils.
Even within the Tower of Secrets, only those with II-level permissions knew this information. How did this outsider Bai Fu know it?
Could it be that she cracked the prototype? No, impossible. She had only obtained the prototype about twenty days ago, and during those twenty days, she spent a third of the time on Heaven Lake Star. If she truly understood the prototype’s function in such a short time, her talent in pharmacology would have to be extremely high.
If she didn’t figure it out herself, then…
“You planted a spy in the Tower of Secrets?”
Holter’s face changed drastically.
He thought of something terrifying. If Bai Fu knew the truth about the prototype through a spy, was it possible that she also knew he was sent by the Tower of Secrets through a spy?
Yes, it was entirely possible!
Holter felt he had fallen into a carefully laid trap by Bai Fu.
He guessed the truth might be something like this—
When Bai Fu learned that the Tower of Secrets sent him to find the prototype, she had already set her sights on him, wanting to extract more information related to the Tower of Secrets. To ensure she could catch him, Bai Fu deliberately went to Heaven Lake Star, a place she couldn’t easily leave, and released false information.
Unaware of the real situation, when he heard Bai Fu was on Heaven Lake Star, he thought it was his opportunity and foolishly rushed over.
This wasn’t his opportunity at all. Clearly, it was Bai Fu’s stage!
He thought he had calculated everything perfectly, thought he had come up with a brilliant plan, but in Bai Fu’s eyes, he was merely a monkey performing on stage. Every move he made was seen by Bai Fu, and when he thought he was close to success, he was actually getting closer to disaster.
[“No wonder the Void War Princess always stays near Bai Fu, no wonder that undead called Jiujiao always guards Bai Fu.”]
Everything connected.
Bai Fu, what a terrifying woman!
Holter felt unprecedented fear, even more than when facing the anger of the Tower of Secrets’ leader.
The reason was simple—he considered himself a mastermind, but now he was being outmaneuvered by Bai Fu in the intellectual realm. This despair was far greater than any other kind.
Holter was certain that many people must be surrounding the workshop, all watching his humiliation.
He spread his mental awareness to probe around, but found nothing.
[“Hmm?”]
Holter was stunned.
What was going on?
His mind was in a jumble. Forget it, run first, maybe there’s still a chance to survive. If he hesitated, he would definitely die.
Before fleeing, Holter didn’t forget to unleash a charged soul thrust at He Fu.
The mental storm impacted, instantly leveling the area behind He Fu.
Then, turning around, he lifted his foot but froze in place.
White dots scattered in front of him, and alongside them fell a huge black He Fu, four meters tall.
Bang!
The huge He Fu landed heavily, causing a deafening sound that enveloped Holter in shadows.
[“You’re here, do you think you can still escape?”]
A voice echoed from behind, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold.
Holter sensed an immensely terrifying power emanating from He Fu, and it continued to rise.
Yes, He Fu’s inspiration was soaring.
Yulia’s blessing link provided an additional +10, spiritual worship +30, spiritual enhancement potion +35, and Mind Blessing +20% base inspiration.
When all four bonuses were stacked, He Fu’s inspiration instantly skyrocketed from 702 to 917.
S-Class Spiritual Energy User, this was undoubtedly the aura only an S-Class Spiritual Energy User could emit!
Holter’s scalp tingled.
Bai Fu was an S-Class Spiritual Energy User. How could she… No, it was entirely possible. After all, Bai Fu was a woman who had outmaneuvered him in the intellectual realm, concealing her strength to lure him in. This explained why there were no others around; Bai Fu believed she could solve the problem on her own.
[“You hid so well!”]
Holter’s voice trembled slightly.
Bai Fu raised an eyebrow.
She had only intended to bluff Holter, but the effect was excellent, revealing the true nature of Holter’s faction.
Tower of Secrets?
Wasn’t this the most terrifying terrorist organization in the Initial Gateway Star Cluster? Even in the Edge World, the Tower of Secrets was well-known. Who would have thought that Singularity Company would conspire with such a monster?
Now that it was too late, who cares what tower it is. Since they want to kill me, I’ll take them down first!
Just as Holter attempted to counterattack, He Fu unleashed a barrage of attacks, including a [Dark Unbound] that landed squarely on Holter.
Pew!
Ten dazzling magnum blades shot out like missiles, locking down all possible escape routes for Holter.
His body glowed faintly blue, and a powerful psychic field burst forth from him.
This combination of moves was smooth yet unexpected, leaving Holter no time to dodge.
Trapped in darkness and temporarily deprived of his senses, he resorted to the simplest tactic.
Bang!
A psychic torrent exploded from his body, this time with no restraint.
Under the impact of psychic energy, the entire workshop was crushed to dust. Fortunately, Bai Fu had anticipated this and had a group of Little Black Fufu protect the three production lines, preventing them from being destroyed.
He Fu and Great He Fu were also affected by the shock.
Even with Mind Blessing activated, He Fu’s physical attributes were still low. Under the psychic impact, she was flung backward.
On the contrary, Great He Fu only swayed slightly before regaining balance. His massive right hand stretched out toward Holter.
Through psychic probing, Holter attempted to evade, but the psychic field’s repulsion completely disrupted his balance. He could only continuously release psychic impacts at Great He Fu.
Pressure, needle pricks, illusions… all kinds of tactics were employed.
However, in the face of Great He Fu’s physical prowess, all these tactics were ineffective.
The effectiveness of psychic impacts lay in their dual damage, physical and mental. While causing damage, they could also inflict various debuffs on the opponent. Unfortunately, this time Holter faced Bai Fu and Great He Fu, both true spirits. Psychic damage was wasted, and debuffs couldn’t be applied. The remaining physical damage was akin to scratching an itch on Great He Fu, whose health points were as high as 20,000.
Plop!
Great He Fu’s five fingers firmly grasped Holter’s neck, exerting immense pressure from all directions, attempting to crush his throat. At the same time, his other hand pounded Holter’s chest relentlessly.
The frontal assault had already left Holter disoriented, and now the ten dazzling magnum blades approached, their rapidly spinning edges colliding with his clothes, leaving visible streaks of fire.
The fabric was sturdy, but continuous cutting eventually turned it into strips, blood seeping through the torn skin and staining Holter crimson in an instant, looking extremely terrifying.
But Holter was an S-Class Spiritual Energy User, not so easy to kill. Countless silver threads surged from his body, like steel needles piercing into Great He Fu’s body, aiming to turn him into a marionette controlled by Holter.
He Fu wasn’t one to be trifled with. Seeing this, she slammed a sky burial onto Holter’s head, followed by a powerful spirit explosion.
Holter was dazed, roaring in anger, a strong desire to survive surging within him. He disregarded everything else and adopted a mutually destructive strategy, unleashing a terrifying psychic storm that harmed both himself and anyone caught in the storm.
[“Come on, let’s bet. Let’s see who dies first!”]
Betting on life and death, seeing who could laugh last?
Bai Fu laughed aloud.
Even if the psychic storm covered only He Fu, she wasn’t afraid of trading injuries with her.
[“In terms of toughness, can a broken spiritual energy user beat me, the heavy tank Bai Fu?”]
Since you want to bet, I’ll add more chips!
Without hesitation, He Fu threw a Dark Thorn on the ground and a Heavenly Falling Rock in the air. Then, a dozen Little White Fufu charged from all sides, exploding into fireworks upon contact.
This bizarre development left Holter dumbfounded. What was Bai Fu doing? Was she trying to kill him faster?
He couldn’t comprehend it, but he didn’t have much time to think. Pain engulfed every part of his body from all directions, intense and unprecedented.
He lost track of time, and just as he thought he was doomed, he noticed that the Great He Fu gripping his neck like a balloon exploded into fragments.
The constriction around his neck loosened, and Holter plunged into euphoria.
The opening he had been waiting for appeared!
Immediately, he stopped the psychic storm and cast an illusion at He Fu, then stumbled forward like an injured beast.
As long as he reached the spaceship, he had a small chance of surviving!
While running, he contacted his subordinates.
[“Quickly launch the starship to pick me up, hurry! Be careful of Bai Fu, she’s not human, she…”]
[“Where do you want to go?”]
A mocking voice echoed.
Holter stopped, raising his head to see a person in front of him, followed by a giant.
[“You…”]
He opened his mouth, and the giant’s hand already grabbed his neck.
Before he could make a move, Bai Fu snatched his communicator.
Trying to destroy the communicator?
Dream on!
Holter stared at Bai Fu, his eyes trembling with fear: [“Who are you?”]
One Bai Fu in front, another behind, and that He Fu, he couldn’t tell them apart. Was it possible that multiple Bai Fufu existed in the world, or had his mind been damaged in battle, leading to severe hallucinations?
[“Kill him.”]
Bai Fu’s voice was calm.
Holter unleashed his psychic storm again, his resolve to die already set. Interrogating such an enemy would yield no useful information. Therefore, it was better to kill him before he committed suicide, gaining some experience in the process.
The order was obeyed by Great He Fu, who grabbed a flying magnum blade and plunged it into Holter’s eye socket, the blade vibrating rapidly, sending dark spiritual energy constantly impacting Holter’s brain.
Holter, already severely wounded, couldn’t withstand the high-frequency impact and dimensional erosion. His health bar depleted, his head slumped, and he lost all vitality.
[“You killed someone, contribution 100%, after adjustment based on level difference, you gained 4.5 million experience points”]
[“You completed the special quest [Emergency Assassination], earning a reward of 5 million experience points”]
Two pleasant notifications rang in Bai Fu’s ears.
Killing Holter netted her 9.5 million experience points, and she also figured out the mastermind behind the scenes. She felt extremely satisfied.
While checking Holter’s communicator, a commotion erupted nearby. In just a few seconds, Scarlet Leaf and Manu appeared.
[“What happened?”]
They looked in horror at the flattened workshop and the fallen Holter.
Bai Fu said, “This guy claimed to be my fan but was actually from the Tower of Secrets. He wanted to kill me, but instead, I killed him. Here’s his communicator.”
She tossed the communicator to Manu.
[“Tower of Secrets?”]
Manu was shocked. The situation was already dire, and now the Tower of Secrets had appeared unexpectedly. Cold sweat poured down his forehead uncontrollably.
[“Hurry, have the technicians check the communicator. See if we can extract any useful information!”]
Manu hurriedly arranged for an investigation.
Scarlet Leaf ran over to comfort Bai Fu: [“Are you okay?”]
Bai Fu shook her head.
In the chaotic scene, no one noticed an operator hastily escaping.
That person was one of the spies planted by the Tower of Secrets on Heaven Lake Star.
He was in a panic. Holter was dead, and the communicator was in Manu’s hands. Once the records were checked, he would be dead.
[“Whether I live or die, I might as well make a big move before dying!”]
While Manu and the others anxiously awaited the results of the communicator investigation, behind the first line of defense, a massive magnetic railgun suddenly turned its barrel, targeting the second line of defense.
When someone realized something was wrong, the earth was already shaken by a fierce explosion.
After the smoke cleared, the people behind the defenses were stunned.
[“The second line of defense is breached!”]
The alarmed shout reached Manu.
Manu rushed outside, looking at the collapsed second line of defense. His mind had only one thought—
[“It’s over!”]
