Plant
Health: 500
Special Skills:
[Mass Taunt]: Forcing all enemies within a 5-metre radius to attack itself, lasting for 3 seconds. Cooldown 2 minutes.
Note: Although its name is “Nut Wall”, if you break it open, you’ll find that it’s actually a walnut.
…
When Morningstar realized Sidim was casting a spell, she originally planned to block the damage with her own body, sacrificing her life to ensure Su Yu escaped.
However, she quickly noticed that the [Mind Piercing] Sidim cast was a mental attack spell. Unlike elemental spells that keep going, mental ones dissipate after destroying the target, only leaving minor after-effects.
So, Morningstar unsurprisingly didn’t sacrifice herself.
She tossed the [Nut Wall] in front of Su Yu to block him, then leaped herself into the pet space.
Boom!
The [Nut Wall] turned to dust under the massive mental impact, and the [Mind Piercing] vanished right after destroying it, with only some scattered after-effects hitting Su Yu who was behind it.
At this moment, there were only 0.5 seconds left for Su Yu’s [Hearthstone] casting.
Using that short time, he wrapped his words with mental energy into a walnut-sized sphere and projected it into the sky.
Then, as a white light of teleportation rose up, he disappeared into thin air.
The mental energy sphere exploded in the sky and all the Skurus within a few kilometres heard Su Yu’s reckless laughter: “Haha! I am ‘Number One’. If you have the guts, come and catch me!”
Under the propulsion of mental energy, Su Yu’s laughter spread further and further, until a quarter of the city’s Skurus heard his arrogant voice.
Hearing this, the Skurus’ faces were noticeably unhappy. He’s too arrogant! Is he looking down on us?
However, one second later.
Boom!
The light spot, full of accumulated energy, exploded on the shield, instantly blasting through it.
The shield had been filled with restless spiritual energy, like a giant hydrogen balloon.
Now that the shield was penetrated, the restless spiritual energy was instantly ignited by the explosive energy from the outside, causing a devastating explosion similar to igniting a hydrogen balloon with a lighter.
Boom!!!
An explosion not inferior to the last one with the floating island occurred!
The shield was instantly blasted to pieces, the explosion swallowed up a dozen blocks around, and a radius of four to five kilometres was engulfed in the blast.
The Skurus who were originally clearing the mutated monsters around the shield were all swallowed up by the explosion. Those above rank six might survive, but those below rank five could only rely on luck.
Sidim was far from the explosion when it happened, he could only watch helplessly as the shield was blasted to pieces.
However, he moved fast and reached the edge of the explosion range in just 10 seconds.
This time, he conjured a larger grey shield. The grey shield descended like a large bowl, finally covering the explosion completely, preventing it from destroying the main city area.
The high-ranking powerhouses who were previously watching the excitement above the slum also rushed to the scene. Hundreds of high-ranking people fed their spiritual energy into the new shield, finally stabilizing it.
Chairman Cass arrived at the scene as quickly as possible, but his face was black as coal.
He had just held a press conference announcing that they had killed “Number One”, and now “Number One” had reappeared, causing an even bigger explosion. Wasn’t this a slap in the face?
He decided in his heart, to eliminate “Number One”, he would do whatever it takes, sparing no expense!
Now that the shield is stable, Chairman Cass bowed to Sidim, asking, “Your Excellency Sidim, where is that human from just now?”
“I’m not sure. He probably used a unique teleportation device from the Holy Silver Federation to get away.” Sidim shook his head, looking unhappy as well.
“Cass.” Sidim fixed his gaze on him: “You must not let this human escape, you must not!”
“I understand.” Cass nodded, turned to the surrounding high-ranking powerhouses, and said: “Now, under the name of the Alliance Government, I officially place a bounty on ‘Number One’:
The person who reports the whereabouts of ‘Number One’ will be rewarded with 10 million Runket coins after confirmation;
The person who successfully kills ‘Number One’ will be rewarded with 100 billion Runket coins!
The bounty goes into effect immediately!”
“100 billion?”
The legendary powerhouses of rank seven and above present all had a gleam in their eyes, such money was worth their effort.
The remaining high-ranking strength users below rank six also had their hearts set aflutter.
Although Su Yu looked strong, he was alone. A five-man team of rank six strength users wasn’t afraid of failing to catch him, right?
Quite a few people had thoughts already.
…
The news of Treyna City spread throughout the world through social media almost instantly.
Within a day or two, almost all Skurus around the world knew about the major disaster that occurred in Treyna:
First was Chairman Cass’s judgment error. He not only failed to kill the extra-terrestrial “Number One” but also senselessly caused the death of more than 100,000 lives;
Then came “Number One” causing another explosion on the floating island, resulting in the death of more than 30 high-rank beings and making it even harder to control the floating island crisis;
Lastly was the jaw-dropping bounty of 100 billion Runket coins for “Number One”, leaving countless Skurus astounded.
Especially the residents of the Runket Federation were in awe of the bounty and feared that “Number One” would appear next to them, causing a significant threat.
The whole world was disturbed by Su Yu.
…
But right now, Su Yu didn’t have the time to think about all this.
Through the [Hearthstone], he returned to the desert next to East Forest Town in the Raging Sun Empire.
“Cough cough.” Su Yu coughed lightly and struggled to sit up in the desert. He vomited out a mouthful of fresh blood.
He felt as if every part of his body was in throbbing pain. His magic was almost depleted, his brain spinning, almost fainting.
He had just used the [Weaver’s Heart] to transform into the Blue Dragon form, releasing two forbidden spells and several high-rank spells in a row, completely draining his mana.
His rapid mana consumption caused his body to be in spasmodic pain.
Moreover, although the [Nut Wall] had blocked the [Mind Piercing], he was still hit by its after-effects, causing him to feel a mental tearing pain.
He now sat in the desert feeling as if he’s about to die.
Morningstar, on the other hand, was unharmed.
She jumped out of the pet space, transforming into the form of the [Starlight Tree].
Large swaths of stardust fell from her branches, nourishing Su Yu’s body.
She also used the [Activation] skill, helping Su Yu recover his mana.
Under the dual-channel treatment of the Morningstar, Su Yu immediately felt a lot better.
