Shea looked really serious, “Chen Rui, how long have you stayed in the Demon Realm? Why do you trust this Aguile so much? How much do you know about him? As far as I know, this person’s origin is a mystery, and his strength is quite strange. At the arena, he participated in 3 battles within a month. Each time, his opponent is 1 level higher than him, but he always wins. In the next battle, Aguile’s opponent is actually Joseph’s subordinate, Arux! You are a cautious wise man. You should know that for such a person, unless you know his weakness, you can’t control him at all – I’m just telling the truth. It’s because I really trust you, so I cannot trust him sincerely.

It seemed that Shea still had a relatively accurate grasp of the information in the city. Chen Rui initially wanted to say, “I know Aguile as much as I know myself.” However, Shea’s analysis was very reasonable. So, if he said so, he might give it away. Suddenly, he thought of the symbiotic contract with the poison dragon, and a plan emerged in his mind.

“Rest assured, Princess Royal. I’ve once saved him and forced him to sign a symbiotic contract. His ability is very strange; he actually allows me to sign a second contract.” Chen Rui looked really confident. “Actually, this is really simple. As long as Princess Royal controls my life, it also meant that you control his weakness.”

“You...” Shea’s body stunned and she stared at Chen Rui deeply. There were a few indescribable brilliances flowing in her purple eyes. Her lips moved slightly; it seemed that she couldn’t help but to say something, but she gradually calmed down eventually.

What about me? Chen Rui was a bit puzzled.

Shea suddenly said coldly, “Well, I will consider your opinion seriously. If there is nothing else, you should go back and have a rest.”

I don’t think I’ve said anything wrong. Why did she suddenly change her face? Women are truly unpredictable...

Chen Rui was really confused, but since his boss had asked him to leave, he couldn’t say no. So, he said, “Then I’ll leave now.”

“Remember... don’t overly force yourself.”

Chen Rui stunned. Did I mishear? Is that... caring? It seems to be the first time listening to such words from Shea.

It’s blunt and cold.

At that moment, Chen Rui’s heart had a sudden indescribable feeling. As he spent more time with Shea, the feeling had become clearer. Strictly speaking, it might not be the feeling he wanted the most. Instead, it was something like a close friend or confidant.

Perhaps, Chen Rui didn’t know what he really wanted, but he was certain for one thing was that this feeling was faint, nice and realistic.

Shea saw Chen Rui’s slightly surprised look, and she suddenly realized that her tone was a bit inappropriate. As she was about to shift the topic and say something, she heard Chen Rui replied, “Okay, you too.”

Shea suddenly felt a faint warmth in her heart. Before she could say the latter sentence, she already saw the human secretary walked out the door.

Somehow, her mood had also gotten better.

Actually, making a mess at the magic store last night and giving the space bracelet to Ganke wasn’t because Mikas revived, but it was Chen Rui who used his <Camouflage> skill to disguise. The magic equipment was truly given to Alan, but the magic material that someone needed the most had already taken by “Mikas”. Royce’s timing was also excellent. Royce’s strength was above Mikas, but the flame poison became a good excuse to make their strength comparable. After “killing” Mikas, Royce came to the arena with the body, and Arux was naturally shocked.

Royce told Arux that Alan sent Mikas to kill Aguile for revenge, but it was prevented by him, so Mikas robbed the magic store out of anger. Arux was furious and fought his way to Alan’s mansion with Royce. Later, Sarado from the Karon Family appeared. Arux had always wanted to compete with Sarado. They immediately started a big fight; both of them were eventually heavily wounded. Their initial “friendly” relationship suddenly deteriorated to the extreme.

As for the actual culprit, he had already gone back to his room in the lab after leaving the palace.

After Chen Rui advanced to the Mizar state last night, he first fought with Mikas, and then he was chased by Royce. Lastly, after he played the whole act, he eventually couldn’t stand it anymore. He slept immediately. Now, he could finally have a peace of mind, starting looking into his new power seriously.

Within that space, the cloud-like gas had changed; its volume had increased a lot. The middle part was red in color as if it contained a strong heat; the heat could even be felt from a distance. Within the initial scattered and floating dust, a lot of large blocks were added, and they were still moving slowly.

This “boot screen” is well made. Everything including the temperature, texture and time is quite realistic. I just don’t understand what the cloud represents.

Chen Rui curiously drifted his consciousness toward it, and the feeling was getting more realistic. The heat from the cloud seemed to be able to burn anything, but it was just warm to his consciousness. Suddenly, he had a strange feeling that he seemed to be the master and creator of this space as none of the things in this space could hurt him no matter how strong it was.

Chen Rui was drifting in space for a while. Then, he changed his thought and returned to the throne in Galaxy Divinity Temple instantly.

In the “Status” light screen, the white light ball “Alkaid” at a certain part still existed. The part above Alkaid which was around the belly button was the new yellow light ball, “Mizar”. According to the new information in his brain, the next realm would be “Alioth”. Yet, every time he evolved, the difficulty would multiply. The gravity training ground was certainly a very effective place to train, but based on the situation of Alkaid state, the most important thing to break through the Star Level was the inspiration in actual battle. Thus, to achieve the next “Alioth state”, he couldn’t rely solely on increasing gravity training.

At that time, the “skeleton” and “muscles” in the 3-D human body had all become stardust just like when he broke through the realms. The stardust replaced the original filament and flowed slowly in the body. The energy produced from the flow was much stronger than the original Alkaid state, and that was exactly the new strength of Mizar.

The main training of Alkaid state practice was to refine the “body” while Mizar state was to refine “power”.

At that time, the status bar showed that the Aura Value was at 7501. Chen Rui remembered that when he was chased by Mikas yesterday, he downed a total of 4 potions that cost 40,000 auras. Later, when he advanced his state, he used another 10,000 auras, so there was only more than 3000 left. He never expected it to increase to 7500 in a night.

After entering Mizar state, the <Automatic Aura Absorption>’s rate was higher than Alkaid state but it was impossible to increase 4,000 by one night. That should be the effect of “Damage Absorption” that absorbed 30% of the damage and turned it into the aura.

This passive ability was pretty good. It could automatically increase aura not only during the battle, but also during the special training with the poison dragon. However, the injuries last night were quite serious, so it was impossible to continue to have such a growth rate.

In terms of skill, the power of <Damage Absorption> and <Aura Blade> had already shown. Even the skill <Camouflage> proved its usefulness during last night’s big incident. Chen Rui tried it, and he actually turned into a tiny dwarf, even his clothing could be disguised together. However, this skill wasn’t without limits. Under the premise that the total mass of the body was constant, it was equivalent to compressing or stretching the body in a specific way. Yet, it couldn’t change the structure of matter, so Chen Rui couldn’t become a flower or a gust of wind. However, for Chen Rui, who sometimes needed to hide his human appearance, it was very practical.

After all, it was <Camouflage> but not <Transform>.

The only skill left was that <Deep Analysis>. It actually cost 10,000 auras per usage, and it only lasted for half an hour. He didn’t know what the word “deep” meant. The <Analytical Eyes> in the Mizar state could show the race of the opponent, so it should have nothing to with race. He could only study it in the future.

The advancement to Mizar state gave Chen Rui a clearer understanding of the Super System. The Super System should be called the “Super Evolution System”. It was a system that used aura as “fuel”, and training his body could activate higher evolution. As for the Experience Value, it was only digitalizing the comprehensive situation of the body. Experience Value at 100% meant that the body and strength of the current evolution level had fully mature, and it had achieved the basic conditions to enter the next level of evolution.

However, just as the breakthrough from the Alkaid state to the Mizar state, to successfully evolve, an Experience Value of 100% wasn’t enough. A certain activation condition must be met. The next realm was Alioth. Now, considering how to break through was too soon as he must fully grasp Mizar’s power first.

When he was fighting Mikas, he drank 4 bottles of black potions that spent 40,000 auras. However, if the magic material that was “taken” from the magic store was converted into aura, it would multiply the aura gained. Now that Mikas had died, there would be no evidence. Also, the bracelet containing magic equipment was given to Alan by Ganke with many soldiers as ‘witnesses’. So, the sheriff had to be the scapegoat.

Chen Rui wasn’t eager to convert these materials; he went into the exchange center instead. With 2 Stars, there were indeed newly exchangeable items. Within the potion category, in addition to the original ones, 4 new black potions were added. They were actually superior grand master-level’s “Eternal” potions!

Eternal Power, Eternal Speed, Eternal Body, Eternal Mind.

The Eternal Potions could separate the wheat from the chaff and transform the body, permanently increasing certain attribute. It was similar to the “Body Cleansing” at the initial evolution, but it only focused on a single attribute. Besides, an Eternal Potion could only be used once in a lifetime, any further usage would be ineffective. In other words, after drinking a bottle of Eternal Power, there would be no effect even if he drank 10 more potions.

Even so, the Eternal Potions were quite powerful. Chen Rui remembered before he advanced last night, he couldn’t rival Mikas at all. However, after he drank the True Potions, he could actually reach the extent of Greater Demon to barely fight with Mikas. So, the effects of potions were pretty obvious.

The price was equivalent to the worth. The eternal potions cost up to 100,000 auras a bottle, making Chen Rui dumbfounded. In addition to the potions, a plant category had been added to the exchangeable items. There were only two items under the plant category: pivotal seed and aura fruit tree.

Pivotal seed – the core of the galaxy garden; automatically controls and regulates the growth of all plants in the garden; can be upgraded using magic dust; the growth rate of the plants increases with level; 5000 auras each.

Aura fruit tree – Bear fruits after maturing; direct increase of aura after consumption; aura amount increases with level; 500 auras each.

Chen Rui’s eyes were bright. Aura was the basic fuel of the Super System, and also the most needed resource. If he could only increase aura by consuming substances, the source would be depleted one day. The emergence of the aura fruit tree had brought new hopes. It seemed that the issue of energy regeneration was expected to be solved fundamentally.

By the way, what’s the galaxy garden? Chen Rui moved his mind, and he immediately opened the building’s light screen. There was indeed another building.
