Chapter 555 — Kitty Back Online

Last of all came Lin's three skills already promoted to quasi-god-tier—Wind Mastery, Wind Spirit Pearl, and Turning Calamity into Fortune—along with Mechanized Spirit. These four also had to be maxed out, for they would determine whether it could smoothly learn Stellar Storm afterward.

All these skills were what Shi Jin intended to finish leveling over the next two months. The workload was enormous—after all, it involved several top-tier and high-tier divine skills, all of which were extremely difficult to level. That was why Shi Jin figured the funds Blue Star and Kong Di had given him would soon run dry.

Still, it was all worth it. Once he endured these two months and raised his beasts' skills, the resources those skills generated would feed back into his own funds and set the cycle running. Though he wouldn't be able to keep leveling at this furious pace afterward, as long as he coaxed a bit more investment from various quarters, maintaining his day-to-day livelihood shouldn't be a problem...

"Level up!"

That very day, Shi Jin began his brutal grind of leveling once more. Paired with the entrancing Cultivation Fruit, he leveled, ate, slept, then leveled again... Throughout it all, besides his beasts' skill proficiency, Shi Jin's own Space Enhancement and Time Accumulation talents were also advancing by leaps and bounds.

Though Shi Jue wanted to go poke around some Era Ruins, to avoid any mishaps, he still worked hard to raise the level of his own All Things Transformed by Time technique.

...

Blue Star.

The Phoenix Man Qimu, entrusted by Lin Feng, once again spent a cosmic crystal to reach Donghuang. His plan was to first bring back a batch of intelligence, and then invite a Blue Star native over to King Star.

Ancient Capital University.

"Excuse me, is Teacher Ying here?" The Phoenix Man descended upon Ancient Capital University, his telepathy blanketing the whole campus as he sent his voice to every lifeform of totem-tier and above.

After a moment, a slightly languid catgirl in a qipao appeared, looking at the Phoenix Man with a hint of recognition.

"Oh, it's you—the one Shi Jin beat."

Phoenix Man: ???

Do you even know how to talk?

"Teacher Ying, right? So—I was sent by Shi Jin. He's doing very well on King Star; he's joined some big organization, his status is already on par with Kong Di, his future's boundless. He wants to invite you to King Star to scheme for great things together, and he told you to bring all your resources and move..."

Gem Cat: *on guard.jpg*

Kid, who do you think you're fooling? He's only been gone two months—how could he already be on par with Kong Di, who once defeated a super-god across tiers?

Sure, Shi Ying was monstrously talented, but this speed was clearly even more absurd. This old lady doesn't buy it.

"Do you believe that yourself??" asked the Gem Cat.

"I..." The Phoenix Man was instantly stumped. All of this had been told to him by Lord Lin Feng; he hadn't wanted to believe it either, but...

"Not going, not going," said the Gem Cat.

"Really! Shi Jin said so himself—with the standing he has now, once you get over there, you'll live the high life, and your rank can shoot straight up to god-tier in no time."

"And who knows—maybe even super god-tier, even a Cosmic Emperor, isn't out of the question." This part the Phoenix Man had tacked on himself to complete his mission.

"Even if it's true, I'm not going. Only a fool would believe that." Jewel Xu was utterly Zen about it. Right now she stood at the very top of Blue Star's power, and she'd have to be bored out of her mind to go looking for trouble on King Kai's Planet...

The next day, Jewel Cat settled her assets, took the cosmic crystals the Phoenix Man had delivered, and stepped onto the teleportation array bound for King Kai's Planet. Her goal: super god-tier!
