"Alright, there’s nothing more for you here, you can leave."
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand at the Illusion Butterfly, signaling it to leave.
The latter, feeling a sense of relief, turned around and fluttered away.
He opened the system interface and looked at the remaining points in it; the part he could use still had over two hundred points.
He thought for a while, deciding not to save them for now but rather to consume them to enhance his strength.
Recently, due to the need to purchase other items, Zhang Xiaoman had fewer random upgrades than before.
This upgrade was also due to a skill that was about to max out its upgrade points, so he planned to take a chance.
This skill was none other than the Summon Star Guard, which had been very helpful to him.
Currently, Zhang Xiaoman’s Star Guard skill, called "Star Shining Saint Knight," was at the Purple Second Rank, with an upgrade point progress of 48/50.
This meant that if he consumed 200 points for the upgrade, he only needed to randomly select it twice.
However, don’t underestimate the difficulty of randomly selecting it even just twice.
Zhang Xiaoman’s current skills and items were not as few as they initially were.
He roughly counted, and the total number of items was close to fifty.
Therefore, trying to randomly select a specific skill was really quite difficult.
Not to mention accumulating enough upgrade points by selecting it fifty times in a row.
For the skill Star Shining Saint Knight to reach its current progress was already considered quite lucky.
Some skills haven’t been selected even once and remain in a green status.
He reached out and continuously clicked on the upgrade button in the system interface, and a series of prompts immediately appeared before him.
"Randomly selecting upgrade, please wait..."
"Upgrade successful! Green Skill - Wind Blade, successfully upgraded to Blue Skill - Gale Slash."
"Upgrade successful! Purple Item - Soon-to-hatch Jade Divine Dragon Egg, successfully upgraded to Purple Item - Soon-to-hatch Five-Colored Divine Dragon Egg."
"Upgrade successful! Blue Item - Jade Soul, successfully upgraded to Purple Item - Illusion Stone."
"Star Shining Saint Knight +1 Evolution Point..."
"Dawn +1 Evolution Point..." Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
"Dawn +1 Evolution Point..."
"Dawn +1 Evolution Point..."
"Angel’s Tears +1 Evolution Point..."
"Upgrade successful! Purple Skill - Broken Army Form, successfully upgraded to Purple Skill - Tyrant State."
A total of twenty system prompts appeared, about half of which were evolution point rewards, and the rest were upgrades of some low-level items.
Seeing the displayed results, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because at the end of all the prompts, there was a conspicuous message:
"Star Shining Saint Knight +1 Evolution Point..."
"Upgrade successful! Purple Skill - Star Shining Saint Knight, successfully upgraded to Purple Skill - Holy Light Dragon Rider!"
He felt quite pleased.
He had consumed almost all his resources to finally upgrade this skill to the Purple Third-tier level.
Purple Third-tier, when converted into combat power, was equivalent to the Fallen Angel from before!
Zhang Xiaoman was eagerly anticipating the effect of summoning them.
Even though he now had a Holy Angel, which was more advanced than the Fallen Angel, the problem was that he didn’t dare use the Holy Angel.
If released outside the Original Realm, who knew if it would listen to him, or if it would cause any unexpected issues.
For now, Zhang Xiaoman opened the skill attribute panel for the Star Guard first, setting aside the other results.
[Holy Light Dragon Rider]
Usage Effect: Use surrounding Dark Energy to summon 100 Star Knights, or 10 Star Shining Saint Knights, or 1 Holy Light Dragon Rider. The strength of the summonings is enhanced by the user’s spiritual power.
Maximum Limit: 100 Star Knights, 10 Star Shining Saint Knights, 1 Holy Light Dragon Rider
Usage Consumption: (320) → 3200 Dark Energy

Cooling Time: (10 minutes) → Unlimited
— Knights riding on Holy Light Giant Dragons, wielding the power of the Holy Spirit, capable of subduing a nation.
This was the attribute of the new skill, and the three extra unlimited features made Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes light up.
He was previously most troubled by the distance limitation when using the Star Guard.
Although the previous skill had a control range of 1.5 kilometers, it wasn’t nearly enough for him.
If he summoned the Star Guard on Rebirth Island and then left the island or entered the Original Realm, the summoned Star Guard would disappear.
But now, the situation had improved significantly.
With this unlimited distance attribute, he could now summon a large number of Star Guards to be stationed long-term at some vital points.
Such as Dragon Sleep Mountain, the Elo Branch, the British Division, even on Guleng Star.
Additionally, with the unlimited duration, the number of Star Guards he can summon simultaneously had surged from the previous 16 to 50, marking an unprecedented increase in the security forces within the Star Alliance.
The only downside he found frustrating was that after the upgrade, the skill required 3200 Dark Energy to use, and he currently had a cap of only 1500 points.
As a result, it causes a problem.
He could summon some Star Knights and Star Shining Saint Knights, but he couldn’t summon the single Holy Light Dragon Rider.
This effectively rendered the most powerful aspect of this skill useless.
