CH 160

After three days, Rode's spiritual power had recovered about seventy to eighty percent, and the aftereffects of "Awakening" had also almost disappeared.

He could now go all out again.

Anyway, with the Resurrection Stone, he wasn't afraid of death.

This time, he must do something even bigger.

Rode was full of confidence. He was already much stronger than three days ago. His soul intensity had reached 1750, and he had mastered various combat techniques. His proficiency in spiritual power operation had also greatly improved.

Most importantly, he had completely mastered how to use "Righteous Execution".

As long as he controlled the stars and played the most passionate melody, he could shoot out the strongest stream of spiritual power.

And Rode had countless passionate melodies in his memory, so he could play whatever he wanted.

But the downside was that the consumption of spiritual power had also greatly increased.

Rode now understood the various data on the spiritual power report very well.

Simply put, a person's soul is like a water jug. The capacity of the jug is the total amount of spiritual power, and the size of the spout is the maximum output of spiritual power.

The cup outside the water jug represents the highest intensity of spiritual power.

His previous spiritual power intensity was 2,000 marks, which meant that the cup could only hold 2,000 marks of spiritual power, and the power of his attacks was also only 2,000 marks.

But when using "Spiritual Power Quintet", it was different. It was a huge cup, almost bigger than the water jug itself, and it was also super absorbent, instantly sucking out all the water.

So, when Rode fired a shot, he would be completely drained.

And "Awakening" was like a blue pill. Although it could forcefully refill the cup, he would feel exhausted for several days afterwards.

If used too many times in a row, it could even cause sudden death.

This was the information Rode had recently obtained from the Book of Knowledge - "Awakening" was good, but it shouldn't be used indiscriminately.

And this was also the biggest difference between the Attribute School and the Physical School.

The strongest attack in the Physical School's combat was the individual's spiritual power intensity.

If using soul attributes, one could reach dozens or even hundreds of times the level of Rode.

Of course, soul attributes generally had some limitations, while physical combat was very flexible and could be continuous.

These two schools were not completely opposed to each other. Except for a few extremists, most people practiced both.

Instructor Soren used to think that Rode was purely an Attribute School practitioner, so he trained him rigorously, fearing that he would go down the wrong path of becoming a glass cannon.

In the Wangcheng system, those who only followed one school were either weaklings or the top experts.

And in the eyes of many, Rode had strong talent, but he was far from being a top expert.

Moreover, he was a combatant in the Starfire Sequence, which was a mixed ability sequence, unlike the combatants in the Spiritfire Sequence who generally had endless potential for super strong spiritual power attributes.

There was a clear gap between Starfire and Spiritfire.

Although Spiritfire only had one soul attribute, its effect was usually very powerful and could be deeply developed.

The degree of development could be shown on the Spirit Box Dynamic Pressure Device. Every time it reached a certain level, a burst of fireworks would appear on the device.

When there were nine bursts of fireworks, it meant that one had completely mastered their own soul and reached the pinnacle of utilizing their attributes.

At this time, the Spiritfire was usually extremely powerful.

Starfire, on the other hand, did not have this possibility. They could only work hard to ignite new sparks to obtain new abilities.

As versatile individuals, they were almost all jacks-of-all-trades without extremists.

Of course, they didn't know that Rode could actually strengthen his "sparks" and that he could gain more abilities through dreams.

However, going to extremes was not his intention. He was only doing it out of necessity.

With the invasion looming, he had to gain the strongest combat ability in the shortest amount of time.

But as his strength grew, Rode had to make up for his shortcomings, otherwise he might not even live to see the invasion.

The Resurrection Stone was not something that could be made casually.

It is worth mentioning that the Resurrection Stone allowed Rode to choose the place of resurrection. If he didn't choose, he would be resurrected at the location where one of its main materials, the "Resurrection Stone," was created.

That was definitely not acceptable. Rode didn't know how to resurrect yet, so as a precaution, he had to choose an absolutely safe and hidden location.

In the end, Rode chose his private house as the place of resurrection.

It was awarded to him by the Wangcheng after the Sunstone pollution incident was resolved. It was located in the Upper City District, a large two-story mansion with a small courtyard, a lawn, and a dry fountain.

It was said to have been the residence of a wealthy merchant, but it was confiscated after violating the Wangcheng's prohibition and had been vacant until it was awarded to Rode.

Although the mansion looked old and was covered in dust and decay, its location was excellent. It was on Queen Street in the Upper City District and was once very expensive.

Unfortunately, the Wangcheng Administration did not allow Rode to sell or rent it, so it had to be left empty.

Perhaps it could be used for something like hiding treasures in the future.

Of course, not now.

After leaving the academy, Rode first went to Gray Street.

In the last battle, he used up a lot of supplies. These were his emergency life-saving cards and had to be replenished, otherwise his strength would greatly decline.

He still had plenty of regular items, and since obtaining a large amount of Starlight Ruby powder, he didn't lack "Sealing Spirit Bullets" either.

What he lacked were "Soul Ashes" and "Wooden Puppets".

The main shortage of "Soul Ashes" was Sunstones. It was easy to obtain the souls and ashes of low-level monsters, but Sunstones couldn't be bought. He had already used up most of the Sunstones he stole from Iron Mask's house last time, and there weren't many left now.

"Wooden Puppets" required Puppet Wood and living spirituality.

Living spirituality could be obtained by hunting down Doomsday Cultists, but Puppet Wood was a forbidden item that couldn't be produced and could only be made by finding wild craftsmen.

The Medicine Witch at No. 17 Gray Street was his supplier.Five days ago, he had specifically gone to the medicine woman to reserve fifty pieces of puppet wood. However, she had just sold twenty pieces to Rode and didn't have enough materials at the moment, so they agreed to pick them up a few days later.

But when Rode arrived at No. 17 Grey Street, he found that she had actually closed the shop.

A thick lock hung on the stone house's front door, and no matter how hard he knocked on the red bricks beside the door, there was no response.

Could it be?

Did she run away with the money?

I paid a deposit of five thousand silver Soren.

Rode was instantly filled with rage. His current funds were not particularly abundant. Although his income was high, his expenses were also very large. After spending so much money, his total funds were less than twenty thousand silver Soren, and he was left with nothing after a large purchase.

He immediately went to the Hunter's Tavern, hoping to find out more from Ado.

However, after hearing his story, Ado just giggled.

"Don't worry, Brother Soren, the medicine woman has a very good reputation. At least half of the hunters in this branch have had her make potions or items for them."

Rode was still not reassured and asked, "Do you know anything about the medicine woman's background?"

"Um..."

The girl made a thoughtful expression.

"I'm not quite sure, but she's been on Grey Street for a long time, at least four or five years. Ever since the curse of Stone Street, she's been there and has never broken a promise... She does disappear often, but no matter how long, she always returns to the stone house."

Only then did Rode feel relieved.

"That's good."

At this moment, Ado leaned in closer and whispered, "Brother Soren, do you have time today? The lilies at my house really do spray water, and a lot of it. Do you want to come and see?"
