367 Three-star Task 367 Three-star Task “Task?”
Su Yuan was somewhat surprised, as he had just joined the department and was already assigned a task.
Moreover, it was Xu Fengtian who personally approached him. Could it be pre-planned?
Xu Fengtian said, “Xiong Chunyang, Lin Chongyun, Tang Jiao, and you are all outstanding among the selected reserve members.
The reason for gathering you all for this escort mission is to select one person to complete the upcoming task.”
Su Yuan thought to himself, as expected, and then asked, “Xu Envoy, may I know what this task is?”
Xu Fengtian shifted the topic and asked, “Su Yuan, have you ever heard of the Earth Tribulation?”
“Earth Tribulation?” Su Yuan frowned slightly and shook his head, “Please enlighten me, Envoy.”
“You are still a student, so it’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.” Xu Fengtian nodded and then began to explain to Su Yuan.
“Everything on the Blue Sea Star flourishes, and the Star Power Concentration increases each year. It’s the time for vigorous growth and gradual prosperity.
However, stepping into prosperity is never smooth. Everything needs to undergo numerous hardships to complete its transformation.
And the Earth Tribulation is one of them.
Yin and Yang alternate, Heaven and Earth change; star sand fades, and star veins proliferate.
The Earth Tribulation is named so because it relates to the ‘earth,’ mainly manifesting in two aspects.
First, there will be a surge in star veins across the continent, including dragon veins.”
More star veins?
Hearing Xu Fengtian’s explanation, Su Yuan thought for a while and understood the key point.
The appearance of more star veins indeed seemed like a good thing.
This could nurture more high-level Star Card Masters, and even King and Emperor Levels!
But before this, the eruption of star veins would disrupt the balance and stability of the entire continent.
Dog, wolf, and tiger-level star veins were still manageable, but if numerous dragon-level star veins appeared…
Conflicts would arise, and chaos would ensue.
Not just between Great Flame and Qiguang, because the unpredictable paths of star veins would involve almost all organizations and small and medium-sized countries on the continent.
Seeing Su Yuan’s expression, Xu Fengtian knew that Su Yuan roughly understood.
“And aside from star veins, the second key point of the Earth Tribulation… The star sand blowing over the sea will gradually weaken.”
Star veins were still manageable, but hearing this, Su Yuan’s expression became more serious.
“If that happens, it will undoubtedly lead to chaos!”
Due to the star sand at sea, the four continents of southeast, northwest were only accessible above the King Level.
But if the star sand faded, the barrier between the continents would completely disappear, exposing them to each other’s view.
Even if they had no intention of invading others, they couldn’t guarantee that other continents wouldn’t have designs on the East Continent.
There were too many variables in this!
Su Yuan asked, “So this task is related to the Earth Tribulation?”
“Somewhat.” Xu Fengtian nodded.
“We, Great Flame, are rich in talents, with many dispersed across different parts of the continent, not just in the south but also in the north.
Now that the Earth Tribulation is approaching and tensions with Qiguang are escalating, many scattered talents are returning to Great Flame.
But some masters and grandmasters in northern foreign countries can’t return so easily now…”
Su Yuan immediately understood, just like two countries on the brink of war, it wouldn’t be easy to let cutting-edge talents studying and living in enemy countries return.
Of course, the situation wasn’t that tense yet, possibly just some obstacles.
Su Yuan asked, “So, someone is being hindered?”
“Exactly, others aside. But this time, there’s a Radiant Moon Level genius, under 25, who wants to return from Rhein. So we must send someone to bring her back.”
A Radiant Moon Level Master under 25?
Su Yuan’s heart tightened.
Dan, Device, Array Talisman, collectively known as the four arts, each art was vital for Star Card Masters, and Su Yuan had witnessed all of them.
Star Devices were essential components of every Star Card Master’s strength.
Elixirs, Su Yuan himself reached Shining Star thanks to the Condensed Liquid Pill.
Barriers, he had seen sealing barriers and thunder arrays in Black Wind Domain and Jilei Ridge respectively, and the Sky Patrol Department also had barrier protection.
Talismans, Communication Talismans, and Teleportation Talismans were even more practical…
The four arts were hard to master, with few proficient.
Compared to Dan and Device, array barriers were more complex, making such talents even rarer.
The grading of the four arts was the same; besides ordinary, it ranked as Master, Grandmaster, and Grandmaster Quality.
