Chapter 490: Falling Short
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Two hours later, w.a.n.g Mang woke up. However, after waking up, w.a.n.g Mang frowned.
This was because he realized that although his strength had increased, he still had not reached Tier 4!
Thinking this, w.a.n.g Mang smiled bitterly, as he called up his status information panel.
[w.a.n.g Mang: Mountain G.o.d of the Five Peaks (Special Member of the Sovereign s.p.a.ce]
[Species: Starry Sky Python King]
[Cultivation: 19,900 years (Peak-level Heaven Immortal Realm)]
[Physique: HP: 2,990, Energy: 2,990, 505 meters long, 25 meters wide, 2,050,000 tons]
[Divine Powers: G.o.d Control Seal, Regeneration, Death Gaze, Black Hole, Star of Destruction, Heaven and Earth, Bone Spur, Lightning Spell, World Walk, Myriad Transformations.]
[Special: Storage s.p.a.ce, Information Detection, Divine Power Wheel of Fortune xi, Top-grade World Multicolored Stone xi, Tier 5 Spatial Teleportation Talisman x3, Top-grade World Card xi.]
[Luck value: 299 (Great Luck)]
[Energy Points: 10,000/100,000]
[Current Ranking: 3rd on the global ranking list of experts.]
After reading through it, he asked, “System, do I only need to gather 100,000 energy points to advance to the Immortal King realm?”
[Warm Reminder. The probability of an ordinary expert breaking through to the Immortal King realm is one in ten thousand!]
[If the host wishes to successfully break through to the Immortal King realm, the host needs to obtain two items!]
[Tier 5 spatial stone!]
[World fragment!]
[Ding! Detected that the host possesses three Tier 5 Spatial Teleportation Talismans. You can exchange them for a Tier 5 Spatial Stone! Exchange?]
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang fell into a dilemma. After encountering the situation in the Soul Refinement Prison, he had come to realize just how valuable these teleportation talismans were.
Especially in this world, they would be able to guarantee that he lived to see another day.
However, he really, really, really wanted to reach Tier 4.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and chose to exchange them.
[Ding! Congratulations! Exchange successful! Obtained a Tier 5 Spatial Stone!]
w.a.n.g Mang finally heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, what w.a.n.g Mang did not know was that he was not losing out on this deal, as someone like him would almost certainly never get his hands on a Tier 5 spatial stone.
This was because these stones were prized materials for Tier 5 artifact refiners, formation masters, and talisman grandmasters. There was no way he would ever find one before these people did.
After receiving the spatial stone, w.a.n.g Mang could not help but wonder if he had anything that could be exchanged for a world fragment.
“System, do 1 have anything I can exchange for a world fragment? Oh, aside from the Top-grade World Card!”
[Warm Reminder: The host can exchange the Free Divine Power Wheel of Fortune for a world fragment the size of a pinky finger! Exchange?]
“Exchange,” w.a.n.g Mang said without hesitation.
To him, it was just another divine power. Getting to Tier 4 was far more important.
Furthermore, he was in one of this world’s four greatest academies. Surely there were divine powers to be learnt here, right?
[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained a world fragment!]
“System, what are these two things used for?”
[Warm Reminder: It can protect the host’s true soul from being destroyed when it is sent into the two Rivers of the Great Dao of s.p.a.ce and Heavens!]
Ah… So it was like that. It seemed that if he did not have these two things, he would have to take the same risk as the other experts when breaking through to Tier 4.
Although there would still be some risks involved, the chances of him breaking through was much higher, as high as 50% higher!
Therefore, this was a worthwhile exchange.
According to the system’s explanation, if some people were unlucky, even if they had a powerful spatial stone or world fragment, it would still be extremely dangerous.
“Forget it! My luck has always been good. Now, 1 just need to gather enough energy points to evolve again.”
Thinking this, w.a.n.g Mang stood up and walked out of the cave happily. However, when he exited the cave, he suddenly saw someone looking for something in the ground not far away.
Looking around, he then realized that there were quite a number of students digging around. Curious, w.a.n.g Mang flew over.
He saw seven to eight students, both male and female, scattered all over the place.
As an added note, the mountains to the rear of the academy were exempt from the unwritten no-flying rule.
“Junior brothers and sisters, what are you looking for?” w.a.n.g Mang asked curiously with a warm smile.
However, these juniors ignored him, which made him somewhat embarra.s.sed.
Fortunately, at this moment, a pet.i.te little girl looked up at w.a.n.g Mang and giggled.
“Senior, we’re looking for immortal earthworms and immortal stones.”
“If your luck is good, you might even find immortal source stones.”
w.a.n.g Mang looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and at the same time, he glanced at her academy pa.s.s, which read, Cla.s.s 138 of Level 1, Human, Jiang Xiaoyue.
Well, knowing her name and cla.s.s was good at all, but the problem was that he did not understand anything she said.
Immortal earthworms? Immortal stones> Immortal source stones? What were those?
However, unwilling to look ignorant, he simply nodded and said, “I see.”
With that, w.a.n.g Mang nodded proudly and left the mountain range.
A few minutes later, just before he reached the boundary of the academy grounds, he descended from the sky to continue his journey on foot.
What was worth mentioning was that there were many vendors on the main road that connected the mountain range and the academy, which were all operated by students of the academy.
Many of them were his seniors from the Tier 4 cla.s.ses.
At this moment, a shout rang out.
“New goods, new goods! Fresh out of the oven!”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang turned his head and saw an ugly and slovenly looking fat young man loudly shouting from a nearby stall.
Many students were attracted by the sight, including w.a.n.g Mang.
He walked up to the stall and saw that it was filled with a large pile of oddly-shaped stones of different sizes with clearly marked prices.
Moreover, the currency required to buy these stones were immortal stones!
When the other students saw this, they all shook their heads. It was obvious that they were not interested. They muttered to themselves for a while before leaving, which made the young man helpless.
However, when he saw that w.a.n.g Mang had not left yet, his eyes lit up.
“Junior! Want to try your luck at scoring an immortal source stone?”
“Who knows, you might just get rich and earn a lot of money!”
Hearing this, w.a.n.g Mang, who was utterly confused, was about to reject using the excuse of not having money when the system’s voice rang out.
[Warm Reminder: Immortal stones and energy points can be exchanged using a 1:1 ratio!] [
There is a 10% handling fee for energy point to immortal stone conversion, but no handling fee when converting immortal stones to energy points!]
[Ding! Host’s current status detected! The host is given the following mission options!]
[Mission 1: Earn 1 immortal stone through your own efforts!]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 500 energy points!]
[Mission 2: Earn 10,000 immortal stones through your own efforts!]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 10,000 energy points, Top-grade Gacha xi!]
[Mission 3: Earn 100,000 immortal stones through your own efforts!]
[Mission Time: Until completion.]
[Mission Reward: 100,000 energy points, Top-grade Gacha xi, Immortal Treasure Chest xi!]
