Chapter 63: Recycling a Gold Trait! Eco Points: 30 Billion! Laying the Cards on the Table! I Saw the Future Too!
In only an instant, Tian Ji was burned into a pile of ashes by that terrifying thunderflame power.
And Xiao Xuan’s Recycle Bin gained a whole heap of Silver and Gold Traits.
The harvest this time was at least dozens of times greater than what he had gained from defeating Zhao Ziyun.
But with Mu Xiying standing right beside him, Xiao Xuan did not choose to equip any of those powerful Gold Traits on the spot.
Before, even if something about him had been exposed, it might not have been obvious.
But if he equipped one now, Mu Xiying would definitely notice that something was wrong.
As long as he was not her match, he had no choice but to stay on guard, even if the two of them had spent a hundred years together in the future.
“Sister Ying, what was it you wanted to talk about earlier?”
Only after finishing all this did Xiao Xuan look toward Mu Xiying.
Mu Xiying wasted no words. A terrifying golden radiance instantly burst from her body.
In a flash, that light enveloped the surroundings and isolated the two of them from the world.
Su Qingwu and the others outside could not see either of them at all.
Inside the golden barrier, Xiao Xuan could not help marveling.
“What a powerful Energy Barrier. Sister Ying, with your strength, you could probably kill me with ease, couldn’t you? No wonder Tian Ji couldn’t even escape from you.”
Xiao Xuan spoke in astonishment.
“That isn’t important. What I want to ask is this: when did your talent start improving? Before last night, your talent and realm shouldn’t have been this strong yet, right?”
Mu Xiying looked at Xiao Xuan and asked directly.
So it’s here.
Xiao Xuan’s brows rose slightly.
At the same time, he wasted no time and instantly recycled that Gold Speed Enhancement Trait!
【Congratulations, you recycled the junk trait 【Speed Enhancement! Gold】 and obtained 30 billion Eco Points.】
That was right. A full 30 billion.
This Speed Enhancement Trait raised speed by 6000%. Converted into Strength Enhancement, that was equivalent to a 120-fold increase.
Even the weakest kind of Gold Trait, one that only gave a hundredfold increase in combat power, required 10 billion Eco Points.
After that, every additional 10 billion raised combat power by another tenfold, at least until the total bonus reached 200-fold. Only after that did the Eco Point cost for every additional tenfold increase begin to skyrocket.
As for how badly it would skyrocket, even Xiao Xuan still did not know.
Most likely tenfold more, or perhaps even a hundredfold more.
But at the very least, these 30 billion Eco Points were enough to make Xiao Xuan’s strength surge tremendously!
If he used it all to raise his realm, even he did not know how far it would go.
Because Xiao Xuan had discovered that once he reached the Martial King Realm, raising his strength no longer meant directly increasing his Vitality Value and Soul Value. Instead, it upgraded his realm directly!
For example, going from the First Heaven of the Martial King Realm to the Second Heaven required 20 million Eco Points.
From the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven required 40 million, while the Third Heaven to the Fourth Heaven required 60 million.
And so on.
The only question was whether going from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven would cost 120 million, or 200 million.
After thinking it over, Xiao Xuan felt it would most likely be 200 million.
Because that way, every time one advanced by a full major realm, the Eco Point cost would increase a hundredfold.
If he had to raise Vitality Value and Soul Value directly instead, the cost would increase by a full thousandfold.
That reduced Xiao Xuan’s Eco Point consumption enormously.
That was absolutely a good thing.
And with these 30 billion Eco Points, Xiao Xuan could raise his realm all the way to the Martial Venerable level!
That would give him terrifying combat power two full major realms above Mu Xiying.
By then, even Mu Xiying would need multipliers a million times greater than his to defeat him.
That was practically impossible.
Still, for Xiao Xuan, a sudden explosion in realm was not entirely a good thing.
If someone from a small place suddenly shot up to the Martial Venerable level, they would absolutely be investigated to the fullest extent.
That was already beyond anything humanity’s powerhouses could comprehend.
A sudden increase in talent could be explained away as luck. After all, which of humanity’s top experts had not risen because of some stroke of good fortune that gave them an extraordinary talent?
But for strength to surge by such a horrifying amount was a very different matter.
If people started digging into it, never mind whether some dark side of humanity might surface, it would at the very least severely affect his future rapid growth.
And on top of that, there was Mu Xiying, who could foresee the future.
In the future, he had never possessed such absurd talent, but now he did!
Who knew whether Mu Xiying might decide he had been possessed by an Other Race?
At the same time, Xiao Xuan also remembered that there were major competitions with realm restrictions, and those competitions covered far more than just Huaxia.
If he missed those events because his realm was too high, then hunting the geniuses of other nations would become exponentially more difficult.
Martial Venerable sounded terrifying enough, but above that there was Martial Thearch, then Martial Saint, and above Martial Saint stood humanity’s current strongest powerhouses, the terrifying Martial Gods.
Not to mention Martial Gods—even among Martial Thearchs, many possessed powerful Gold Traits.
As for Martial Saints, every last one of them had Gold Traits.
Even if he became a mere Martial Venerable with Gold Traits of his own, he would still be completely outmatched by Martial Thearchs and Martial Saints.
Of course, Xiao Xuan could keep part of his Eco Points in reserve.
For example, if he held back 10 billion, then in the instant he truly encountered a life-and-death crisis, he could use them to make his realm explode upward on the spot.
Compared with spending it all now, the difference would not be that great.
Like right now, for instance.
If Mu Xiying really intended to make a move on him, there was no point holding anything back.
After a brief moment of thought, Xiao Xuan quickly came up with an excuse.
“So you noticed it too, Sister Ying?”
For some reason, when I was sleeping last night, I felt an invisible power pouring into my body.
After that, both my realm and my talent began to rise rapidly!
By the time I woke up, I had already become this strong.
And this wasn’t even the first time. A few days ago, back at home, after I returned from the Beast Tide that night, I felt the same thing. Then by the next day, my Traits and talent had both risen to Silver!
I originally wanted to ask you what was going on, but you left too quickly!
“Of course, you can say I’m making all this up. I can’t help it. Even I know it sounds ridiculous.”
Xiao Xuan let out a helpless sigh toward Mu Xiying.
If he had said this half-true, half-false explanation to anyone else, they would definitely have thought he was fooling them.
But when Mu Xiying heard it, her delicate brows drew together slightly.
Last night? An invisible power?
Could it have been the same power that had sent her through time, to the past and the future?
That power could do this too?
Could other people absorb it as well?
If not, then why could Xiao Xuan alone absorb it?
And if they could, did that mean she might be able to use the power she carried back from time travel to rapidly raise the talents of humanity’s prodigies?
If so, then perhaps the future could still be saved!
At that thought, Mu Xiying’s eyes lit up.
“You really felt that kind of power? Aside from that, did you notice anything else unusual?”
Mu Xiying looked at Xiao Xuan and asked again.
For the first time, a faint trace of hope appeared in those calm, golden eyes of hers.
