565: Strict standards

Although a Rank 27 Advanced Aerial Warrior was powerful, under the combined suppression of the Domain and Nimble Cats Grace, he was weakened too much.

This Yun Que Clan member's Mental Energy was quite strong at Rank 27, but compared to Chen Du's Rank 35, it was a full 8 Ranks lower!

According to the mechanism of Nimble Cats Grace, he would be weakened by 40% of his strength, which was even more than the Rank suppression of the Domain.

Adding the Domain's 30% suppression, his strength plummeted by 70%!

Furthermore, Chen Du's Martial Skill level was also very high, only lagging behind the opponent by 5%.

All things considered, an instant kill was an inevitable outcome.

For safety, Chen Du pulverized all 12 Yun Que Clan corpses to dust.

【Congratulations, Host! Crescent Moon Swordplay has increased from Second-tier Control 49% to Second-tier Control 50%】

Chen Du: "???"

Does this thing have proficiency too?

After an internal complaint, Chen Du quickly figured out the reason.

Because Vice Chen Du had been summoned before, it could be simply understood that the Martial Skill experience points were added to him at that time, but he was still a little short of leveling up.

Later on, he killed a few more clueless aliens along the way, as well as the Yun Que Clan at this moment, which just allowed his Martial Skill to reach Perfection, increasing to Control 50%.

Regarding this rate of improvement, Chen Du could only say that the Zhan Zhan Fruit was still exerting its power!

However, the effect of the eternal elixir was also a factor.

This item seemed to give his body, mind, and skill a higher potential.

On the way to the Land of Wither, Chen Du had observed that the Yun Que Civilization conducted regional patrols here, though he didn't know how many regions they divided it into.

But these Yun Que Clan members would rotate shifts; if he killed all the Yun Que Clan in this area, there would be no one to rotate shifts, and they would quickly gather.

At that time, both the quantity and quality would far exceed the present, and there would definitely be Domain Warriors involved.

Therefore, Chen Du naturally dared not linger for a moment.

Time to go, time to go.

With a whoosh, he flew towards the Liaoyuan Sector.

His Rank 35 Mental Energy allowed him to successfully avoid those Yun Que Clan members along the way.

After confirming that fire could eliminate scent, Chen Du burned himself several times during his flight.

According to Chen Du's thoughts, the higher the Rank in the Yun Que Civilization, the stronger the scent should be; if it was just ordinary contact, it shouldn't leave much scent or it would dissipate quickly.

However, for safety, he still had to burn himself.

2.5 hours after Chen Du left.

Another 12-person team from the Yun Que Civilization, responsible for the area boundary, finally realized no one had come to rendezvous and belatedly activated the alarm!

...Two days later, Chen Du returned to the Liaoyuan Sector.

If he remembered correctly, this should be his fourth time setting foot on this land.

The first time was when he emerged from Underground and later met Zhou Cheng; based on the route provided by him, he set off from the Hongyun Plate and first stepped onto the Liaoyuan Sector.

The second time was when he set off from the Liaoyuan Sector to search for clues about the Eternal Tree, then killed the Eternal Tree and returned.

The third time was returning from the Myriad Flowers Sector, where the Myriad Flowers Civilization was located, with the goal of finding the Black Dragon Creation Pool.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled into the Black Dragon King's tomb, not only discovering the ultimate resource Genesis Fish but also bringing back the Dragon Pearl.

The fourth time, the route was similar to the second, and the Dragon Pearl was successfully hidden in the Land of Wither.

Theoretically, the third time should have been the most dangerous, as the destination was the territory of the Myriad Flowers Civilization, but they were targeted by three other T4-level Civilizations due to the leaked news of the Dragon Pearl.

In the end, this item fell into his hands; as for the terrifying Big Eye Alien who appeared midway, he should have been after the Golden Flying Sword, and Chen Du didn't know what kind of sparks would fly between them.

Stepping on the land of the Liaoyuan Sector for the fourth time, Chen Du felt a slight emotion; after so many events, this place felt to him like an airport or a train station, a starting point for everything.

Suddenly, Chen Du thought of something and took out the treasure map from his storage space.

Indeed, the address on it had changed; if Chen Du hadn't been to the Land of Wither, he really wouldn't have recognized where it was drawn.

This thing was indeed Unique, but it was cyclical!

Many pieces of information were circulated in this way, half-true and half-false.

Putting away the treasure map, Chen Du adjusted his direction and headed along a route he hadn't taken before.

He had come from Underground, and his first stop after ascending was the Roast Chicken Civilization in the Hongyun Plate.

It was absolutely impossible to go back now.

Although the opponent was only a middle-tier Civilization, he was just one person; facing their chicken-sea tactics, he would be exhausted to death.

Fortunately, Zhou Cheng had left him a return route before, which was also why he had returned to the Liaoyuan Sector.

This route started from the Liaoyuan Sector and then relatively safely reached the Ju Yang Plate.

The Ju Yang Plate was a very small Plate, without even an Upper Civilization, meaning it was a Plate without Domain Warriors.

This Plate was once Chen Du's final destination on his way to the Dynasty Civilization, but for various reasons, he ended up going Underground.

Now it seemed quite fated; he didn't pass through it on the way here, but he still had to pass through it on the way back.

Five days later.

Chen Du successfully arrived at the Ju Yang Plate.

He checked the time; it was now January 24th, 9:50 AM, and he would definitely return to the High Martial Civilization sometime in February.

The 'successfully' here did not mean he encountered no dangers along the way.

In the High Martial Civilization, when performing missions outside, as long as one arrived at the next destination with all limbs intact, no disabilities, and no obvious abnormal conditions, it was considered a successful arrival.

Along the way, Chen Du naturally encountered many alien attacks.

It wasn't that he didn't want to avoid them, but taking a detour would take more time; if the opponent wasn't a Domain Warrior or a Rank 29 obstructing alien, Chen Du generally wouldn't actively avoid them.

Although he arrived successfully, the journey wasn't easy.

Along the way, Chen Du encountered a very strong alien, an alien from a Great Civilization.

It was a T3-level Great Civilization, the Tidal Civilization.

The opponent seemed to dislike Humanoid life forms and actively attacked Chen Du.

This person was very strong; Chen Du had to go all out to kill him.

He said 'thief' before he died, but Chen Du didn't know what he meant.

His Martial Skill also increased by 3% during this period, reaching Control 53%.

Although this Martial Skill level was very high, Chen Du was not satisfied, because he had a standard for a super strong person in his heart.

That was the Black Dragon King.

At Rank 24, the Black Dragon King's Martial Skill level was Control 65%!

He was only 1% away from the limit of Control, and only 2% away from the River Severing level; this number was incredibly exaggerated.

Other aliens' Martial Skills only entered the Control level at Rank 25; if he were Rank 25, his Martial Skill level would 100% enter the River Severing level!

The Black Dragon King must have had countless fortuitous encounters, Chen Du couldn't deny that, but his future path was long and arduous.

Chen Du felt that if his goal was to be a Starry Sky Warrior, he would at least have to catch up to the Black Dragon King at the same Rank.

Although he had defeated him, his panel attributes were not as good as his.

His biggest trump card was the Promotion of the Fifth Secret Treasure; due to the Ten Secret Treasures, this ability was greatly enhanced, serving as a cheat for him during the Sky Soaring Warrior stage.

But what about after advancing to a Domain Warrior?

Once he entered the Domain, this ability would become completely ineffective.

At that time, what would be his advantage?

Chen Du, always planning ahead, always thought about the future.

Chen Du admitted that he was not strong enough, and not just ordinarily not enough, but far from enough!

He had very, very high demands on himself; if the Black Dragon King was the strongest alien on this planet, then Chen Du would use him as a benchmark.

If he could defeat the Black Dragon King of the same Rank without using any abilities, that would be considered 60 points, equivalent to passing.

This was the standard Chen Du set for himself; the ceiling goals of other Geniuses couldn't even achieve a passing grade for him!

"Hmm?"

Just as Chen Du was about to continue, a disturbance in the distance suddenly caught his attention.

He saw a 'Crawler Civilization' alien chasing three Humanoid life forms just like himself.

"Minister Yan Yun?"

Chen Du muttered softly, recognizing one of the three.
