Chapter 721 Blessed Child in the Jungle

Michael didn't have to think long to determine what to do with the remaining SoulStar Fragments. It was pretty simple.

He spend more than 82,000 SoulStar Fragments upgrading Cosmic Stride to 6-Star and 55,000 SoulStar Fragments upgrading Sphere of Elements to 5-Star.

The Soultraits didn't mutate or evolve, but their potency increased drastically. The Elemental Spheres inside Michael's energy pool expanded. They stored more energy, which increased the total amount of energy that could be stored inside Michael's body. As the Elemental Spheres absorbed energy from the energy pool, they infused an element into the neutral origin energy. But that was not all.

The Elemental Spheres purified the origin energy by infusing elemental properties into it. The purified elemental energy could be utilized to create stronger elemental attacks. Combined with other Soultraits like Cosmic Stride, Michael could unleash attacks several times more efficiently than before.

Fused with the Elemental Empress, Michael learned that he was capable of doing things he could have never fathomed. It was terrific and terrifying at the same time.

Cosmic Stride was terrific, as it used to be. At 6-Star, it releases even fewer spatial frequencies into the surroundings. Teleporting farther away was easier, and Michael could quickly bring dozens of people with him without attracting too much attention.

Upgrading several Soultraits to 6-Star affected him quite a bit. His body could endure the toll of so many powerful Soultraits, but it wasn't easy. Each 6-Star Soultrait enhanced his physique, mind, and soul to a certain extent. Some Soultraits, like Cosmic Stride and Taming , drastically enhanced Michael's mental power, while Insert empowered his Souls.

Several days had passed in the blink of an eye since he started upgrading his Soultraits. He decided to give his body a break and enough time to adjust to the changes he'd undergone. He had enough SoulStar Fragments left to upgrade Mind Reader to 6-Star, but Michael didn't want to upgrade the Soultrait. Putting aside some SoulStar Fragments to strengthen Danny's Living Soul was more important.

But then again, Michael thought about expanding the Soul Sphere. He felt like binding another Soultrait. Fortunately, he didn't do that. Instead, he left a few thousand SoulStar Fragments to strengthen Danny's Living Soul while investing the remaining Fragments into his Aethyr.

The Aethyr linked to his Soul Sphere had been upgraded to Tier-3. That was the limit of the Aethyr he had been given by the War Priestess and the Berserker Chieftain. However, it was not the limit of the Aethyr Michael wanted to use. Therefore, he did what he had planned to do a while ago.

"Extraction is enough reason for the vast majority of the Universe to be interested in me. They won't care if I have Aether or not. Extraction will be their main focus!" Michael concluded.

Unlimited Soultraits and Soultrait Upgrades were far more critical than an Aether weapon. Michael didn't have to hold back anymore.

The Aethyr inside him expanded as the Aether content increased. He gained access to more shapes and a wide variety of functions that could come in handy once he ascended to a Higher Lifeform.

Aethyr's limit increased. It could now easily reach the standards of a High Artifact. That was exactly what Michael needed--a weapon that wouldn't break once he ascended to a Higher Lifeform. Aethyr's forms gained more power now that more Aether had been mixed into the alloy. Michael could cut down Higher Lifeforms even easier now.

The championships were the most exciting thing to happen in Michael's region for a long time. The third settlement was constructed, and his territory's population again expanded drastically.

The trading enterprise with the other races expanded, and the Forest Elves and Valyr approached him with their well-

prepared offers. They wanted some changes to the drafted proposals Michael had prepared earlier, mainly because they hoped to be more involved with Michael.

Michael didn't have anything against that. If anything, their offers were more beneficial for him than his drafted proposal. Interestingly enough, the Valyr had been generous enough to 'gift' Michael many more criminals than he'd requested in his drafted proposal. That was unexpected and allowed Michael to strengthen the Soultrait Symbols of the Untamed Awakened a lot.

The Valyr also reasoned that Michael would have fewer issues once the Savannah was safe and sound. Therefore, it would be in his favor if they obtained Soultrait Symbols and Soultrait Upgrades. Following that reasoning, the Valyr promised to come to his aid if needed. That, followed by other offers – including more criminals – was enough to convince Michael that he should give them some Soultraits.

On the other hand, the Clan of the Forest Elves decided to support Michael differently. They allowed more Forest Elves to come to his territory. But there were not only ordinary Forest Elves among the batch of Rogues who'd decided to join Michael's territory. There was also a Blessed Child, who had lost his region a long time ago in a fierce battle against several High Lords.

He was a powerful Rogue known for supporting his kin at all times, but Lilica said that the Blessed Child only did that because he liked fighting a lot more than most Forest Elves.

He was known as the Blood Elf even though he looked nothing like Blood Elves.

Jason Kleora was his name. He was a Higher Lifeform who'd managed to enter the Untamed Jungle with the help of the Forest Elf Elders. They sacrificed a Platinum Teleportation Token to bring Jason Kleora to the Untamed Jungle. It was a sign of their goodwill.

However, Jason Kleora didn't plan to act like the Forest Elf Elders told him. Instead of keeping a low profile, Jason Kleora challenged the strongest Higher Lifeform in the territory.

"Are you the Lord of the Untamed Jungle?" He asked Hiraku the moment he found him.

"N–...."

"There is no need to be shy around me. Fight me with all you have!" Jason declared his challenge.

"I will beat you!"
