Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard” - Chapter 627: Will Tempering

In a world isolated somewhere within the Nine Stars Land.

Using the special ability of the Tear of Eternity, Su Yuan directly suppressed this Will Crystal in mid-air.

This Will Crystal trembled, attempting to reform the Scavenger’s body.

But naturally, it was impossible to accomplish.

The Will Crystal continuously radiated willpower impacts towards its surroundings, the intensity reaching the level of a thirty-three-tier willpower impact. The farther the distance, the lower this intensity became.

However, this impact carried a strong aggressiveness.

With a thought from Su Yuan, he encased this Will Crystal in a purple stone shell, filtering out its harmful aspects and retaining only the willpower impact, thus forming a Purple Vein Stone Pillar.

And so, a will tempering ground was just like that, fresh and sparkling, successfully established.

“Huh, you really can make one!”

Su Yuan was quite surprised.

“If it’s possible like this, why don’t others create one themselves, still needing to go to the special building in Black Flame City for training?”

Su Yuan pondered briefly, guessing that suppressing and filtering Will Crystals wasn’t easy. He could do it effortlessly because he possessed the [Tear of Eternity] trait.

The trait’s effect is that it can amplify the power of the Eternal Tear. No matter how powerful the Will Crystal, it could be suppressed and neutralized with equivalent force.

Even if the quantity and quality of the Will Crystals increased, there wouldn’t be any issues.

“If I can independently build a will tempering ground, then I won’t need to go to the official one for training at all. Not only would it save Merit Points, but it could also be kept secret.”

Su Yuan stroked his chin: “Looks like I need to capture more Scavengers!”

With a flash, Su Yuan once again arrived behind that group of Scavengers.

Then he took out his fishing rod and began fishing.

The fishing hook appeared in the air above the group of Scavengers, targeting one of them.

However, this time he failed.

That target was very clever and directly submerged into Nothingness. The hook caught nothing but emptiness.

“Seems they’re on guard now!”

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

Then he came up with another plan.

Still concealing his own aura, he quietly moved to the very rear of the Scavengers. Then, he specifically lifted the aura concealment only for the last Scavenger.

At the tail end of the Scavenger group, a humanoid Scavenger’s body jolted. It glanced behind and then saw Su Yuan, its eyes flashing with red light: “Stubborn target detected. Proceed with elimination!”

This fellow immediately broke away from the Scavenger group and chased after Su Yuan.

“Halt!”

At the center of the Scavenger group, a forty-sixth-tier Scavenger stared at the thirty-eighth-tier Scavenger about to leave.

“Where are you going?”

“Eliminating target!” That Scavenger pointed at Su Yuan.

The forty-sixth-tier Scavenger captain looked in that direction, but he couldn’t see a single target.

Su Yuan’s concealment relied on the Chaos Trait [Stealth Walker] and the special Dominator Artifact [Heaven-Shrouding Cloak].

At a relatively far distance, the stealth effect was extremely good.

“There is no target there!” the Scavenger captain said.

“I saw it!” that Scavenger insisted.

The captain’s gaze flickered, saying: “Ignore it!”

Thus, this Scavenger who could see Su Yuan had no choice but to helplessly follow at the back of the group, continuing to advance towards the direction of Black Flame City.

Su Yuan was shocked. Were the Scavengers using their brains now?

Without another word, Su Yuan launched an attack against the Scavenger group.

As his will followed his heart’s intent, Su Yuan drew a full ten percent of the Chaos Origin from his Life-bound Chaos, beginning to brew an attack.

Ten percent of the Chaos Origin from a fortieth-tier Life-bound Chaos was an immense, ocean-like quantity.

Su Yuan held the True Name Jade Disc transformed into a True Name Treasure Sword in his hand, channeling the massive amount of Chaos Origin into it!

Strands of True Name Sword Qi materialized in the air around Su Yuan.

Under Su Yuan’s concentration, countless True Name Star Swords rapidly gathered around him!

The number went from one thousand to ten thousand, then to a hundred thousand, a million!

Each True Name Star Sword received the empowerment of his Chaos True Intent comprehension and the amplification of the True Name Jade Disc. Its power was unimaginable.

One million True Name Star Swords instantly descended upon the Scavenger group like a meteor shower.

The forty-sixth-tier Scavenger captain was the first to detect the incoming attack. His expression changed, and he immediately soared into the air to meet the onslaught of the million star swords.

However, as he drew near.

The over million True Name Star Swords instantly performed a Nothingness Leap, striking the other Scavengers. On average, each Scavenger enjoyed the baptism of a thousand True Name Star Swords.

The bodies of the Scavengers were rapidly neutralized and evaporated. In one breath, most of the several hundred Scavengers were annihilated.

Only three forty-fifth-tier Scavengers survived.

The forty-sixth-tier Scavenger captain watched helplessly as his subordinates below were swept away. His eyes grew even redder!

He frantically scanned his surroundings, trying to locate Su Yuan’s traces.

But Su Yuan’s stealth effect was too powerful!

Moreover, after launching the attack, Su Yuan had already fled using [World Traveler]. How could the other party possibly find Su Yuan?

Thus, this Scavenger captain could only rage impotently on the spot.

He had no choice but to redirect his fury towards other targets. Leading the remaining three Scavengers, he formed a small squad and once again set off towards the direction of Black Flame City.

This time, their movement speed increased by more than ten thousand times!

Previously, they had slowed down to accommodate the lowest-tier Scavengers. Now, with no low-tier Scavengers to hold them back, their speed was actually faster!

Su Yuan teleported back, looking at the retreating figures of the four Scavengers with great surprise.

He flipped his palm, and hundreds of Will Crystals appeared. Before these Will Crystals could erupt, Su Yuan transferred them to the Nine Stars Land. Then, piece by piece, the Will Crystals merged together, forming a terrifyingly powerful willpower impact.

The willpower impact at the very core even exceeded the forty-seventh tier.

Su Yuan’s eyes lit up brightly. He directly appeared at the edge of the stone pillar and began attempting the will tempering.

As he approached the stone pillar, the intensity of the willpower impact quickly reached the fortieth tier.

And at this level, he began to feel pressure.

“My willpower is actually this weak, only reaching the fortieth tier!”

Su Yuan inwardly cursed his own inadequacy.

If he were to face that forty-sixth-tier Scavenger head-on, a single willpower attack would be enough to instantly knock him unconscious. His defense on the willpower level was too poor. Although the trait [Great Power Bearing] could help exempt him from the vast majority of willpower damage, relying on traits wasn’t a long-term solution.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the spot and began slowly moving closer to the purple stone pillar.

For every bit closer he got, the willpower impact he suffered grew stronger, and the tempering effect on his will became better.

Under this kind of tempering, Su Yuan’s willpower intensity also slowly increased, though the rate of improvement was a bit slow.

Su Yuan immediately accelerated the flow of time, immersing himself in a prolonged period of tempering.
