While Ruan Yu was fusing the materials, Hu Yan sat beside Jiang Kai. The two chatted casually first.
"Captain Kai, does the military have any feng shui masters above Super Six, or any drunkard materials?"
"No." Jiang Kai shook his he
ad. "In this round of rewards, there are three Super Six materials and two Super Seven materials, all for martial trainees and soldiers."
"I'm planning to use two Super Six soldier materials. The remaining materials and equipment, I'll have Shishi send them to Old Zhou and the others."
Hu Yan nodded. "They really did put in a lot of work. But Captain Kai, shouldn't we at least keep one Super Seven martial trainee material?"
"No need. In our guild, only Shishi and Chunlan and the others, plus Zhao Tiequan, are martial trainees, but they're all Super Five. I can get Super Six materials through other channels. As for Super Seven, by the time they're ready to break through to Super Seven, I should also be able to get Super Seven materials by then."
"On the Qingyun side, though, there are already a few people at Super Six. If Qingyun Sect has two Super Seven powerhouses, their status in the ancient martial world will be completely different from before!"
Jiang Kai taking such good care of Qingyun had another very important reason. Since he had promised Mister Three Swords to support his descendants, he naturally had to help as much as he could.
Usually, Jiang Kai did not have much time to stay in Qingyun, so he allocated two sets of Super Seven materials, one divine-grade artifact, and some ores to Qingyun to help them grow and strengthen.
Hu Yan nodded. Anyway, he supported Captain Kai's decisions unconditionally.
"Oh right, Captain Kai, do you and Chang Siyao still have a chance?"
"Aren't you supposed to read fortunes?"
"I'm a cultivator now. I'm on the cultivation path. I don't read fortunes anymore."
Jiang Kai's face darkened. Old Hu had actually gone so far, just to shake him off, that he no longer admitted to reading fortunes.
"I don't know either. We'll see how fate goes." Jiang Kai replied perfunctorily.
While the two were chatting idly, Ruan Yu suddenly shouted from over there, "Captain Kai, something's wrong. The equipment says the materials are incomplete! I don't know what's going on, the fusion device is about to explode!"
"Captain Kai, you're way too bold. You dare to randomly fuse materials of this level!"
Jiang Kai hurried over. "This!" As he spoke, he handed the Patch-the-Heavens Liquid to Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu immediately poured the Patch-the-Heavens Liquid into the side inlet of the device. The extremely unstable equipment gradually stabilized after the liquid was added.
Seeing the equipment return to normal, Jiang Kai finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Good thing we have Patch-the-Heavens Liquid!" Jiang Kai exclaimed.
Of course, it was precisely because he had figured out the function of the Patch-the-Heavens Liquid that Jiang Kai dared to risk fusing the Calamity Orbs.
Whether his big brother's guess was right or not, the description of the Calamity Orbs said they were "some kind of material". No matter whether what they fused into was a class-change material or not, as long as they could be fused, that was enough.
With the Patch-the-Heavens Liquid added, Jiang Kai finally decided to take the risk and give it a try.
What the three of them did not expect was that the fusion process lasted an entire day.
By the next day, Ruan Yu, with dark circles under her eyes, woke Jiang Kai and Hu Yan up. "Captain Kai, it worked! You identify it."
Jiang Kai rolled up from the ground and used an appraisal card to appraise it.
[Heaven's Mandate Transcendent Tier Six Class-Change Material (Heavenly Punishment Path) (Quality: Fierce!)]
"It worked!" Jiang Kai's eyes went wide. "Bro, you're my eternal god!"
Ruan Yu said calmly, "No need to worship me like that. I just fused the materials according to what you gave me."
"I can't take it anymore. I need a couple of drinks and then some sleep."
Hu Yan was also excited. "Captain Kai, you're about to advance to Super Six?"
Jiang Kai smiled faintly. "Not yet. My level isn't high enough."
At this moment, Jiang Kai was extremely excited. His dream had really come true. In the past, he was always stuck by his level and had to wait a long time before breaking through. This time, he had actually obtained the class-change material in advance.
"Damn, Captain Kai, even you can have a level that's not high enough. That's really a first." Hu Yan noticed it too and complained. "How many levels are you short?"
"Seven levels! Old Hu, take Ruan Ghost back. I'm going to level up. This time I won't take you guys along to level."
"Mm, you really should focus on leveling properly." Hu Yan agreed. "Ruan Ghost, stop drinking. Go drink at home!"
"Wait!" Jiang Kai called out to Hu Yan and took out four Rebirth Badges. "These are Rebirth Badges. You two take two each."
"I'm worried that Ghost Star will level up before I do. With these on you, it'll be safer at least."
"Captain Kai, aren't you keeping some for yourself?"
"I still have some." Jiang Kai said. "Alright, I'm going into closed training to level up for a while. The experience requirement is pretty high, so I might not be seen for some time. Be extra careful."
"Don't worry. Captain Kai, you take care too."
After parting ways with Hu Yan and Ruan Yu, Jiang Kai headed straight for the unknown region.
There was still one week until Ghost Star leveled up, and now Jiang Kai needed eight million experience to gain one level. Seven levels meant fifty-six million experience!
With such a massive amount of experience needed, even for Jiang Kai, it would be very difficult to complete it within a single week.
Jiang Kai had already prepared himself mentally. Within one month, he would break through to Transcendent Tier Six!
.........
Seven days later, all players simultaneously received a system notification.
[In one hour, this world will enter the Transcendent Stage. All players, please prepare.]
[In the Transcendent Stage, death will require a Rebirth Badge to revive. Otherwise, the soul will continue to dissipate until it permanently disappears, and you will never be able to enter this world again.]
[Aside from this, other changes in the Transcendent Stage must be explored on your own.]
As soon as this news appeared, the global Ghost Star forums exploded.
"What do we do? We still haven't found the God of Life ruins here. We haven't opened the Tower of Life, so we're missing a way to get Rebirth Badges!"
"Right now, only a bit over thirty countries worldwide have opened the Tower of Life. Players from other countries will have to take extremely huge risks when fighting bosses in the future!"
"Huaxia already has Rebirth Badges in hand. This time, the privileges they've gained are just too good."
One hour later, Ghost Star officially entered the Transcendent Stage!
At the same time, the countries that had already unlocked the Tower of Life finally waited for it to open.
However, for now, no one from the other countries had entered the Tower of Life yet.
Back when the Endless Abyss had just opened, people had already seen how insanely difficult this kind of challenge-type stage in Ghost Star could be.
Although the difficulty of the Tower of Life might not necessarily be higher than the Endless Abyss, even if it were the same, entering it for the first time still meant bearing enormous risk.
And the heavy responsibility of being the first to explore the Tower of Life naturally fell on Huaxia.
After all, Huaxia was the only country with Rebirth Badges.
Commander Dong looked at the twelve Rebirth Badges in his hand. This item was now unbelievably precious. Every single one had to be used where it mattered most.
Standing before him were six Huaxia soldiers.
These people were all one in ten thousand, the strongest players at their respective stages and levels.
Huashen walked up beside Commander Dong and said, "Commander Dong, they're ready. The data statistics equipment developed by the research institute has also been brought along."
Commander Dong nodded and handed out six badges, one to each person.
"Everyone, Rebirth Badges are extremely scarce right now. You all know this. I hope that each of you will not give up until the very last moment. You must clear the Tower of Life and provide the research institute with as much useful data as possible!"
The six stood at attention and saluted, their expressions solemn, answering in unison, "Yes!"
Watching the six enter the Tower of Life, Commander Dong felt uneasy.
"I've already forgotten how long it's been since I felt this nervous." Commander Dong said quietly.
