Chapter 594: An Advanced Star Rank Magic Art

Now it was quite sunny outside the Water Cloud City, which was located in the southwest part of the East Continent.

Two lights streaked above the ancient city, one after the other, then they landed on a small hill. When the intense Spiritual Qi dispersed, the figures of two people and a dog appeared—these were Xu Que, Liu Jingning and Buttface.

After leaving the Stone-Cutting Convention, Xu Que dashed toward the southwest for a night before they came across the first ancient city: the Water Cloud City.

“Finally, we’ve landed. Little brat, quick—let’s find a restaurant and have a proper meal!” Buttface hungrily stuck out his tongue.

“Don’t think about it! After hurrying along for a whole night, it’s time to correct the direction!” Xu Que’s eyes widened. He took off one of his shoes and prepared to throw it again.

He had to confirm whether the direction he’d chosen was correct. Last night, the shoe-throwing ended up pointing toward the southwest. But Jiang Hongyan might now be in some other place, and if that were the case then last night’s direction would be useless.

“Little Queque, it’s useless to do that!” Standing behind Xu Que, Liu Jingning watched him take off his shoe again. She smiled and shook her head.

She’d never heard of this method being used to locate a person, and that was because it was totally unreliable. It was impossible to find people using this childish method.

“It works!” Xu Que calmly replied with a smile.

Grabbing the shoe tightly in his hand, Xu Que started calculating the time to activate the Lucky Aura. This aura always resulted in a high consumption of Acting Tough Points per second. It was horrible!

Ding!

“The Lucky Aura is activated. One thousand Acting Tough Points will now be consumed each second!”

When the warning tone of the System sounded, Xu Que immediately threw his shoe in the air.

Patter!

The shoe flew up a bit and quickly dropped back to the ground. This time the toe cap was pointing south.

“Phew!”

Xu Que deactivated the Lucky Aura immediately. He’d used the Lucky Aura for four seconds, which was one second shorter than last night; that is to say, he’d saved 1,000 Acting Tough Points!

Xu Que was quite satisfied with that. Moreover, he’d corrected the direction by throwing the shoe again.

The direction changed to the south from the southwest. Maybe Jiang Hongyan was heading for the south now; or maybe both results of the shoe-throwing were incorrect!

After all, the Lucky Aura only made the user luckier. It couldn’t guarantee that the toe cap would point in the right direction every time.

However, Xu Que chose to believe in the results of the shoe-throwing. Without any hesitation, he put on the shoe and dashed toward the south, grabbing Buttface.

Liu Jingning was surprised. She didn’t know the exact location of Jiang Hongyan, but she knew her rough whereabouts.

Xu Que had performed his shoe-throwing method twice, and the results were quite close to the location of Jiang Hongyan, which seemed unbelievable.

Could it be that this guy is not influenced by bad luck? No—the things that happened yesterday prove he has been pursued by the bad luck. But the things that are happening today are quite miraculous! Could it be that he has found the way to get rid of the bad luck? Liu Jingning was confused. She pondered it, furrowing her eyebrows for a while, then she jumped into the sky again and started to follow Xu Que closely.

She was so eager to investigate the reason. Is he really so lucky that he can get the correct direction, or has he found a method to overcome the bad luck?

However, Liu Jingning was shocked over and over again during the journey. She was completely confused.

During the next three days they continued forward. Whenever they came across an ancient city, Xu Que stopped to throw the shoe to keep correcting the direction, which was always between west and south.

At such a speed, Liu Jingning had no doubt that Xu Que would really find Jiang Hongyan.

“Little Queque, what have you been doing the past few days?” She finally couldn’t help but ask.

After all, it was incredible. How could he find the right direction throwing shoes?

“Ha! Why do you seem so anxious?” Xu Que smiled. “That means this direction is correct, right?”

Seeing Liu Jingning’s surprised expression, he could confirmed the direction was correct. Otherwise, this woman would have mocked him for a long time.

“I have to admit that the direction is correct! However, I still can’t believe you can find Jiang Hongyan among millions of people only by throwing shoe!”

It was hard for her to believe Xu Que’s method could work—it was like looking for a needle in a haystack! No, it was more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack!

Hearing her comments, Xu Que silently smiled.

This proved the Lucky Aura was helpful. It could get rid of the influence of the bad luck! As long as he had enough Acting Tough Points, he could absolutely find Jiang Hongyan.

Over the past few days, Xu Que hadn’t run into trouble. If he came across trouble, he just flew away without stopping.

He did cut open the ancient stones on the journey and had obtained the precious items hidden in the stones, which were from ancient times. Most of them were incomplete magic artifacts, which were seriously damaged and basically useless. However, Xu Que asked the System to recycle them and obtained a large amount of Artifact Refining Essences.

A large Dragon Soul Element was hidden in an ancient stone, which was also quite time-honored. This made Xu Que crazy with delight. Being a Two-Star Dragon Soul Element, it was comparable to the Two-Star Dragon Soul Element obtained by Xu Que through mergence.

If he also merged the two Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements, the probability of obtaining an Advanced Star Rank magic art would be enhanced remarkably—to around 100 percent.

However, Xu Que now had other things to consider. Now he had the assistance of the Lucky Aura, so he thought it was unnecessary to pursue the probability of 100 percent anymore. If he opened both Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements separately, he might obtain two Advanced Star Rank magic arts. So, why not?

But the System told him only one magic art could be obtained from the Dragon Soul Elements. It could be at the Basic Star Rank, the Intermediate Star Rank or the Advanced Star Rank.

The difference between ranks was only the completeness of the magic art!

For example, if the magic art was at the Basic Star Rank, it would be incomplete by only containing several moves. Only the Advanced Star Rank magic art was complete!

Therefore, it would be useless for him to have a lot of Dragon Soul Elements. He could also merge them directly to obtain the Advanced Star Rank magic art once and for all!

“System, merge both Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements first!” Xu Que murmured to the System in his heart.

Next time they stopped to correct their direction by throwing his shoe, he planned to open the Dragon Soul Element the moment the Lucky Aura activated!

Therefore, before that, he had to merge both Two-Star Dragon Soul Elements to maximize the probability of obtaining the Advanced Star Rank magic art to minimize the risk.

Whoosh!

The System interface immediately flashed. The two Dragon Soul Elements intertwined and merged with each other and finally turned into a lump of green light.

Xu Que found the property of the Dragon Soul Element had been changed.

[Three-Star Dragon Soul Element]

The probability of getting a Basic Star Rank magic was 100 percent, the probability of getting an Intermediate Star Rank magic art was 100 percent, and the probability of getting an Advanced Star Rank magic art was 80 percent.

“Nice!”

Xu Que was immediately overjoyed. At the probability of 80 percent, a common man could obtain an Advanced Star Rank magic art without the assistance of the Lucky Aura.

Of course, it was still a little bit risky. The probabilities of obtaining the Basic Star Rank magic art and the Intermediate Star Rank magic art were both 100 percent. If he prioritized magic art with the probability of 100 percent, he might be unable to get the Advanced Star Rank magic art, of which the probability was only 80 percent.

Therefore, Xu Que decided to choose a safer way. He took off his shoe and activated the Lucky Aura. When he tossed the shoe into the air, he opened the Three-Star Dragon Soul Element directly!

Whoosh!

The Dragon Soul Element in the System Package dispersed and turned into an ancient jade slip. At the same time, the warning tone of the System came in!

Ding! “Congratulations to the host in obtaining an Advanced Star Rank magic art: The Great Ultimate Derivation Dragon & Elephant Seal! Are you going to learn it?”
