Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 905: Chapter 703: Ten Million Star Dust

The vehicle drove into the suburbs.

This road made Su Yuan feel a bit nostalgic.

The last time he took this road was during the time at Guangchuan Fourth Middle School, riding on a city education department bus for a joint trial...

As they approached the Rainforest Secret Realm, they saw military warriors in teams of ten along the way.

Each team had at least one Gold Level leading, and every ten teams had a Shining Star Level coordinating.

This was already beyond the military strength that Guangchuan City could possess, even Qingye City couldn’t compare. Clearly, it was an army from elsewhere.

After a while, they finally arrived at their destination.

The distant entrance to the Rainforest Secret Realm was no longer visible, becoming a blurry area shrouded in silver light, the location of the Grey Realm passage.

Outside the passage to the Grey Realm, the military had established new circular defensive fortifications.

Su Yuan followed Wu Shaoyang into the command post within the fortifications, approaching a burly middle-aged man who was scrutinizing screen data.

"Vice Admiral Qin, this is Su Imperial Envoy," Wu Shaoyang spoke.

The burly middle-aged man turned around, his face slightly dark, with deep eyes and a reserved yet intense aura, evidently an expert at the Chongyang Level!

"Eighth Corps of the Southern Military District, Vice Admiral Qin Shang." The burly middle-aged man respectfully saluted.

Su Yuan returned the salute, "Sky Patrol Department Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan."

"I’ve heard of Su Imperial Envoy’s illustrious name for a long time!" Qin Shang laughed.

Not just Qin Shang, many other personnel working in the command post also cast curious glances.

Because now, in both the Sky Patrol Department and the military, the name "Su Yuan" was indeed too prominent!

After the "March Killing Game," many of Su Yuan’s past achievements were brought to light.

Many experts discovered that Su Yuan’s performance was already astonishing at the beginning of the Earth Tribulation, and his personal progress speed was terrifying!

Starting with being the "Star Lord with the most Star Envoy kills" and ending with "March Killing Game counterkill," Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan could be considered the most dazzling person in Great Flame since the Earth Tribulation began.

Wu Shaoyang also admired, "The Qiguang Holy Hall, including the chief, three Moon Knights acted together, and even I might not have been able to escape.

Su Imperial Envoy could achieve this at the Radiant Moon Level, and now advancing to the Burning Sun Level, his strength is likely beyond my imagination!"

Su Yuan modestly replied, "Major General Wu, you’re being too modest."

In fact, who could be weak upon reaching the Burning Sun Level? They are all outstanding individuals!

At this level, the lower limit is already elevated to a considerable standard. There won’t be such a large gap between the upper and lower limits as seen at the Shining Star Level.

Su Yuan looked at the screen in front of Qin Shang and asked, "Vice Admiral Qin, what are these metrics?"

Qin Shang explained, "They mainly monitor the stability, diffusion trends, and internal energy data of the channel.

However, due to the separation from the Grey Realm passage, even the best Star Energy Detectors have limited effectiveness."

Su Yuan replied, "So there’s an urgent need to occupy an area within the Grey Realm?"

"That’s right, we need to occupy some territories in the Grey Realm as defense lines to provide early warning and monitor Grey Realm changes... follow me, Su Imperial Envoy."

Qin Shang led Su Yuan to a side simulation sand table, "This is the current situation detected in the Sha Ze Domain, of course, other domains are similar."

Su Yuan looked at the sand table, resembling a palm, with one "fingertip" being Guangchuan City.

However, the "finger" is very short, and the palm is infinitely large without end.

"The location of the Royal Court is at the deepest part of the Sha Ze Domain, and under its command are seven ’territories,’ which consolidate the Star Beast Lord forces of Sha Ze Domain.

These seven territories are distributed near and far outside the Royal Court, and Guangchuan City is closest to one of them.

Su Yuan followed Qin Shang’s finger, and that area was marked with the words "Shake."

"Shake Territory has three Burning Sun Level Lords, with power radiating for thousands of miles, and beneath them are many Radiant Moon and Shining Star Tribes."

Su Yuan was somewhat astonished, realizing the vastness and magnitude of the Grey Realm’s power now that he was witnessing it!

Sha Ze Domain alone, one of the ten domains, is stronger than any domain north of Great Flame’s Five Domains... and far stronger!

Just in the seven territories of Sha Ze Domain, Shake alone has three Burning Sun Star Beasts, comparable to the strongest organization, Dragon Sect, in the Black Wind Domain!

And Shake is just one of the weakest outer territories in Sha Ze Domain.

Qin Shang continued, "Currently, in the Grey Realm’s ten domains, four domains, including Sha Ze Domain, are directly adjacent to our Great Flame.

In the future, we will need to fully capture these four domains. At the current stage, however, the aim is to first establish basic defense lines in these four domains.

As for our current target in the Sha Ze Domain we’re responsible for..."

Qin Shang circled two locations close to the "fingertip" on the map.

"Shake, Lianqi, these two territories are the closest to us and the furthest from Sha Ze Royal Court.

If we can seize these two territories, we can advance to attack further linked territories or retreat to secure the exit base, grounding our foothold in the Sha Ze Domain!"

Su Yuan nodded, noting that Qin Shang and Wu Shaoyang were likely responsible for the assault on Shake.

"How many men do we have?" Su Yuan asked.

Qin Shang said, "According to our investigation, Shake Territory has three Star Beast Lords, Lianqi Territory has two. To be cautious, we plan to deploy eight Burning Sun to attack the two places!"

Eight Burning Sun...

Su Yuan clicked his tongue; that indeed was not a small number.

However, first, the Grey Realm directly borders Great Flame, making the threat much larger than that from the Northern Army far in the north.

Second, being domestic, it’s naturally much easier to assemble experts. If it were abroad, it would be challenging to mobilize so many Burning Sun at once.

Su Yuan slightly nodded and asked, "When do you plan to take action?"

Qin Shang replied, "We’re waiting for the two Major Generals from the Southern Army District to arrive with their troops, it should be within three to four days."

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I’ll accompany you to see the situation when the time comes."

Qin Shang invited him here to say so much, essentially to ensure he would be present, adding an extra layer of assurance against the Grey Realm forces.

After all, this counts as the first formal incursion into the Grey Realm, and no one knows what unexpected events might occur.

As the Vermilion Bird Imperial Envoy, Su Yuan indeed has no obligation to help Qin Shang until orders within the department are issued.

But out of duty, merely supervising the battle is harmless.

Moreover, more importantly...

Su Yuan squinted slightly, originally feeling there wasn’t enough Star Dust, and not being able to easily hunt outside.

Now with the appearance of the Grey Realm... it’s a brand new world where he can plunder freely!

Besides, in three or four days, Ruan Ruan and Antonios should arrive too.

After leaving seclusion, he had already sent a transmitted message to Ruan Ruan about returning.

Counting the time, it should be about right.

Upon hearing Su Yuan say this, Qin Shang’s eyes lit up with joy: "Great! Su Imperial Envoy, on behalf of the Southern Army District, I express my sincerest gratitude! If all goes well, the Envoy won’t need to take action, just be seated behind conveniently."

Su Yuan nodded: "Alright."

After chatting for a while longer, Qin Shang asked, "Will Su Imperial Envoy be returning to the city?"

Su Yuan shook his head: "No need, with the battle imminent, there’s no need to leave again."

"Alright, I’ll inform the experts from the City Guard coming to support to especially care for your family."

Su Yuan nodded, thought a bit, and then brought out Ashley.

Qin Shang and Wu Shaoyang, both at the Burning Sun Level, weren’t surprised by Ashley’s sudden appearance, having long known Su Yuan as a Star Card Master carrying his own space.

Su Yuan said, "Ashley, in case of contingency, I’ll leave the house to you."

Even if some Star Beasts do manage to escape out from the Grey Realm later, they would pose no problem for Ashley.

Ashley nodded: "Alright, you be more careful yourself."

Qin Shang immediately called over a Lieutenant to send Ashley away.

In a flash, two days passed.

That day, Su Yuan stood outside the suburban base looking into the distant sky.

Soon, a streak of blue light came from afar and crashed straight into Su Yuan’s arms.

"Master, Master, Master...!" Ruan Ruan excitedly hugged Su Yuan tightly.

"Ruan Ruan..." Su Yuan, who hadn’t seen Ruan Ruan for over half a year, was also very happy.

After a while, Ruan Ruan asked Su Yuan, "Did Antonios stay in Guangchuan City?"

Ruan Ruan smiled and said, "Yes, he said he received your order to stay with Little Ai on your home’s side."

Su Yuan nodded, feeling much more at ease with this.

Ashley’s Power of Oracle doesn’t kill; with Antonios there as well, the two of them combined could handle even a Full Moon Level Star Beast.

"Master, the rings!"

Ruan Ruan suddenly grabbed a handful of Space Rings and took them out.

Su Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he immediately took Ruan Ruan back to the Qingming Realm.

He opened all the rings, and a small mountain of Star Cores instantly piled up in front of him.

"There’s actually this much!" Su Yuan was quite surprised, considering the limited places to hunt for Star Dust outside.

Ruan Ruan chuckled: "Little An and I were lucky, we encountered a battle between three Radiant Moon Level Sea Clan forces in the South Sea. Little An came up with a way for me to swoop in and take them all out!"

"Is that so? Nicely done~"

Though Ruan Ruan spoke lightly of it, Su Yuan knew it probably wasn’t so easy.

Besides Antonios’ cleverness, it was likely also related to Ruan Ruan’s greatly increased strength after reaching Full Moon.

"Ruan Ruan, go find Mo Fei."

"Okay!"

Ruan Ruan obediently responded and then went to the Main Space to play with Mo Fei.

Meanwhile, Su Yuan stepped forward, reached out to touch the small mountain of Star Cores, and with a thought, said: "System, decompose!"

A luminescent flow, the whole small mountain was enveloped in a faint blue luminescent glow like a firefly stream, and as the Star Cores disintegrated, a large stream of Star Dust converged into Su Yuan’s body.

In just a few moments, aside from the one or two-tenths of Star Cores not obtained by Ruan Ruan, the entire small mountain turned into Star Dust Points.

Su Yuan opened the system:

[Star Dust: 1024 million]

Ten million Star Dust!

Su Yuan took a deep breath, a burst of joy appeared in his eyes.

For the first time, his amount of Star Dust reached ten million!
