Chapter 594 Quick Trip [Bonus]

Most Untamed Awakened could only afford one new Soultrait Symbol, one Soultrait Upgrade to 4-Star, and one Soultrait Upgrade to 3-Star.

Nobody could afford to upgrade their Soultrait to 5-Star, but that was expected. Upgrading a Soultrait all the way to 5-Star costs between 2500 to 3500 SoulStar Fragments. Michael couldn't give a discount for such a heavy expense even if he wanted to. He had less than 12,000 SoulStar Fragments left.N♡vεlB¡n: Inspiring Minds, Illuminating Souls.

Maybe, everything would have been a little bit easier if he had more. However, upgrading Extraction to 7-Star had been high highest priority. It was his main Soultrait, after all.

Most Untamed Awakened decided to purchase one Soultrait that suited their combat style and upgraded it as high as possible. But there were also a few Awakened who chose to purchase two Soultrait Symbols. They upgraded them to 2-Star before fusing with them. Their reasoning was pretty simple. They wanted to use three Soultraits whose powers could be combined to create a more versatile fighting style with more surprise effects.

At the end of the day, the Untamed Awakened purchased a total of 53 Soultrait Symbols and 4,560 SoulStar Fragments for Upgrades. Michael doubled down and secretly added more SoulStar Fragments to upgrade all 2-Star Soultraits to 3-Star Soultraits. He asked some Awakened if they were willing to expand their Jungle Loan with a special loan to upgrade some of their Soultraits to 4-Star.

That way, Michael ended up with 4,000 SoulStar Fragments and 418 Soultrait Symbols left in his possession.

He didn't spend the remaining 4,000 SoulStar Fragments because he recalled that their trip through space would end soon. It was almost time for their spaceship to arrive at the Saphirelake Military Academy. Michael was not certain if the leftover SoulStar Fragments would come in handy, but he had a feeling that the SoulStar Fragments would go farther in the Saphirelake Military Academy.

After the Flag War, Michael didn't manage to get many Human Awakened as his subordinates because there were mostly Descendants from prestige families who'd participated in the Flag War. However, there were various Adventurers in the Saphirelake Military Academy, not only Descendants.

The Saphirelake Military Academy was the best place for Michael to get his hands on well-trained Adventurers with great techniques and Soultraits. But then again, it was unlikely that dozens of Adventurers would flock to him just like that since most Awakened were already affiliated with other big families.

Descendants who lost their territory would usually try to fight their way through the Origin Expanse to reclaim their Lord Powers by re-establishing their territory somewhere more secure.

"The Heart of the Blazing Lion army has been sighted near the northern border. The reports state that they've begun with the reconstruction of a large military camp. We've already recorded several energy distortion devices, spatial seals, and several other means that prevent Zeroa and Stinger from infiltrating their camp with their spatial affinity and special abilities." One Scout reports while another one adds.

"My Unit was discovered and we were bombarded with arrows, fire spears, and other long-range projectiles. I cannot be certain about what or who attacks us, but their attack range is roughly three kilometers. Their accuracy was not that great, but two Scouts in my unit were hit. They sustained severe injuries and are currently in the infirmary fighting for their lives."

A smile crept up on his face as he observed the changes at the Saphirelake Military Academy. A few minutes later, the shuttle landed and Michael stepped out.

His nose wrinkled after he took a lungful of air and he chuckled lightly. A notification attracted his attention. It was a message from Kraft Viton. Michael messaged Kraft Viton earlier to find out whether the elder was in the Origin Expanse, or if he was outside right now. Fortune was on Michael's side. Kraft Viton was in the Saphirelake Military Academy and his office was close as well.

Michael hurried to Kraft Viton's office and entered with a sly smile.

"You didn't change a lot in the last few weeks. Looks like you're doing well," Kraft Viton said, but Michael merely shrugged.

"I doubt that you're here for a lesson. You want something from me, or the Bartholomew Corporation, don't you?"

Michael smiled at the old man. Kraft Viton had a great perception.

"The last few weeks had been quite busy. I joined a war against a Council of more than 100 Lords. That didn't work out as well as I expected, but it's not that bad either. The Council is a mess. They fight against each other internally. Either way, I'm here because i need lots of things to defeat the shit out of some enemies. Of course, I have various goods to sell."

He retrieved a spatial pouch where he'd stored all duplicated blueprints, 115,345 to be precise, followed by 12,405 Artifacts. Both the blueprint duplicates and the Artifacts were incredibly valuable, but Michael threw the spatial pouch toward Kraft Viton as if they were worthless.

Kraft Viton's eyes widened slightly after he inserted a trace of energy into the spatial pouch. The surprise in his eyes disappeared in the next second, a nonchalant expression appearing on his face.

"What do you need?"

Michael retrieved a sheet with items listed. There were only a few items, but they were all quite valuable. Michael would have a hard time procuring most of these items without Kraft Viton and the Bartholomew Corporation. Fortunately, he had the best Master, a Master with great intellect and connections.

"That should work. When do you need them?" Kraft Viton inquired.

Michael stared deep into Kraft Viton's eyes.

"As soon as possible. The enemies are already knocking on my doors."
