Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Azure Sky Phoenix
After a long time, Su Yuan woke up again and glanced at the time.
"It's already been two hours?"
Fortunately, he had made an agreement with his parents in advance that once he decided to train, they would not disturb him.
Su Yuan rubbed his temples. Although he still felt a bit dizzy, it didn't affect his movements.
"My Soul Card!"
Su Yuan couldn't wait to probe his consciousness inside himself. He saw a miniature card with a blue back quietly suspended at his chest. On the card face was the beautiful bluebird that had emerged from its cocoon earlier...
At that time, he didn't see clearly. Now, upon closer inspection, the pattern on the card face looked more like a young phoenix than a bluebird!
"Blue Card? It's actually a Blue Card!" Su Yuan felt a joy in his heart.
According to the awakening data from the Great Flame Country, even those who could train to the Sixth Stage as a Star Apprentice had over half failed in their awakening.
Among those who succeeded, 30% would awaken an Ordinary Grade White Soul Card during their first awakening.
These people had lower talent and limited potential, and even if they became Star Card Masters, it would be difficult for them to break the Gold limit in their lifetime.
Over 69% of Star Apprentices could awaken Elite Grade Green Soul Cards. These people had mid to high talent, with the potential to break through the Gold and reach the Shining Star Level, where they could undergo a second Soul Card awakening and further unleash their potential.
Only less than 1% could awaken Master Grade Blue Soul Cards. These people had extraordinary talent and were considered geniuses. As long as they practiced steadily, they could at least reach the Shining Star Level.
As for Purple Soul Cards... it's impossible to have a Purple Soul Card during the first awakening. That is the limit for the human species. Only through continuous training and a second awakening at the Shining Star Level can one break the limit.
People who awakened White Soul Cards could never break the Gold level no matter how hard they tried, while those who awakened Blue Soul Cards could reach the Shining Star Level as long as they practiced steadily. This was "talent." It was realistic and cruel, with no fairness at all.
Su Yuan suppressed the joy in his heart and probed his consciousness into his Soul Card, or rather, his Lifebound Star Card.
[Soul Card: Azure Sky Phoenix]
[Grade: Master]
[Species: Phoenix]
[Element: Space]
[Talent: Azure Sky: Increases the power of space-related skills by 20%]
[Six Dimensions: Strength C, Agility C, Defense C, Constitution C, Spirit C, Star Power C]
[Soul Skill: Instant Movement (Master, Entry-level)]
"Space-type Soul Card?"
"All Six Dimensions are C?!"
"Master Grade skill, Instant Movement?!"
The Blue Card itself was already a surprise, but the attributes of this Soul Card were even more dazzling!
Leaving aside the rare and powerful space attribute and Instant Movement, the all-C Six-dimensional Qualification was simply outrageous!
The Six-dimensional Qualification was extremely important for a Star Card Master, determining their growth in various aspects.
Strength: Determines strength magnitude.
Agility: Determines movement speed, hand speed, and nerve reaction speed.
Defense: Determines physical and star power defense capabilities.
Constitution: Determines stamina, self-recovery ability, and resistance to abnormal states.
Spirit: Determines spiritual power strength, amount, and recovery speed.
Star Power: Determines star power recovery speed, strength, total amount, and recovery speed.
As realms advanced, the differences brought by the Six-dimensional Qualification for a Star Card Master would become increasingly significant.
Generally speaking, the grade of a Soul Card determined the upper and lower limits of the Six-dimensional Qualification.
An Ordinary White Card at least had one E-level qualification. An Elite Green Card had at least one D-level qualification, and a Master Blue Card had at least one C-level qualification…
Even among Blue Cards, there was a huge difference between having one C-level qualification and having all six.
Having 1-2 C-level qualifications was low grade, 3-4 was mid-grade, and 5-6 was top-grade!
Being able to awaken a Blue Card was already very rare, but what's more exaggerated was that all six dimensions of his Soul Card were C-level!
"This is the legendary hexagonal warrior!"
Su Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva. After a few seconds, he gradually calmed down from the shock, followed by uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy!
"To awaken a top-grade Blue Card on the first try. It really lives up to being the sixth-level Soul Awakening Card. The wait was totally worth it!"
Su Yuan withdrew his consciousness from his body. He had been immersed in the joy of awakening his Soul Card, but now that he came to his senses, he immediately noticed the changes in himself.
Although his physical appearance hadn't changed much, his strength, constitution, and other physical qualities had improved several notches!
In addition, his star power was abundant, and his sensitivity to the surrounding star power had reached an unimaginable level, as sensitive as a baby's tender skin.
Not only was it exceptionally clear, but there was no blockage in absorption. The bottleneck of the Seventh Stage as a Star Apprentice that he always had trouble breaking through now started to loosen by itself.
In his delight, Su Yuan immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and fully absorbed and refined the omnipresent star power…
After a long time, with a slight surge of star power emanating from Su Yuan's body, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Eighth Stage as a Star Apprentice. I didn't expect to break through while awakening my Soul Card!"
Due to the awakening of his Soul Card, his physical quality, spiritual power, and star power had just surged. After breaking through to the Eighth Stage, they increased again.
Su Yuan was extremely satisfied. Previously, due to not being able to awaken his Soul Card, his cultivation progress had lagged behind others, especially Jiang Jun and another top genius in the class, Chen Jiujun, who were already close to the Ninth Stage.
Entering the Eighth Stage now meant he had somewhat caught up.
"Azure Sky Phoenix, worthy of being a top-grade Blue Soul Card! This cultivation speed is simply amazing, faster than an average Blue Soul Card!"
The higher the grade of a Soul Card, the faster the spiritual power cultivation speed. Generally, after awakening a White Card, the absorption and refining speed of spiritual power would increase by about twice, with a Green Card increasing it by twofold, and a Blue Card by threefold.
But Su Yuan's Azure Sky Phoenix had brought nearly a fourfold increase!
Although he knew that the Soul Card would greatly enhance cultivation, it was only after experiencing it himself that he truly felt the difference.
If it was a gently flowing stream before, now it was like a rushing river.
Su Yuan got up from the bed, walked to the mirror by his desk, and took a good look at himself after the awakening.
The young man in the mirror was wearing the uniform of Guangchuan Fourth Middle School.
A white inner shirt, a light blue long-sleeved cotton jacket and pants outside, and a pair of white sneakers. With a young face that wasn't exceedingly handsome but rather attractive, his appearance wasn't bad.
However, the originally black-brown eyes of the Great Flame Country's significant characteristic had now turned silver, as cold and indifferent as the Azure Sky Phoenix, giving the previously ordinary young man a bit of a sharp aura.
"My eye color changed. It's very noticeable…"
Su Yuan scrutinized himself closely in the mirror.
In the Great Flame Country, ordinary people typically had black hair and black eyes, but Star Card Masters could be different sometimes.
During awakening, under the influence of the Soul Card's power, Star Card Masters could undergo certain changes themselves.
For example, changes in eye and hair color, and some could even develop strange symbols or patterns on their bodies.
So in the Great Flame Country, apart from those with colored contact lenses or foreigners, those with atypical eye colors were likely to be successfully awakened Star Card Masters.
"Right, I remember the system seemed to say something before I fainted..." Su Yuan recalled and called, "System, can you repeat the previous prompt?"
However, the system didn't respond.
"Still no intelligence..." Su Yuan shook his head, not surprised.
After almost a year, Su Yuan had roughly figured out this system.
It could follow simple commands and provide some hints at certain points, but it had almost no intelligence and couldn't even answer basic questions.
"Maybe I can find some clues on the panel."
Su Yuan thought for a moment and opened the system panel, immediately noticing the difference.
There were two new modules added after the original [Card Enhancement].
"Card Decomposition and Card Extraction?"
"I wonder what decomposition can decompose... could it be... Star Dust?"
