Su Yuan's eyes brightened. Since it was the decomposition of Star Cards, what he obtained was probably the Star Dust required by this system.
If it was indeed Star Dust, then this would be the second way to obtain it besides its natural increase over time. And it would be a way he could actively manipulate!
With Star Dust, he could enhance Star Cards, which meant a higher Skill Proficiency Level!
"Unfortunately, I don't have other Star Cards on hand, so I can't try it immediately."
"And then there's card extraction. Star Card Masters have the ability to extract Star Cards from Star Beast Star Cores. I'm not sure what this system's function does."
"Regardless, these two new functions must be tested as soon as possible. Especially card decomposition, as it relates to whether I can quickly improve the Star Card skills embedded in my Star Power Vortex."
Su Yuan pondered for a while, then made a decision quickly.
"I'll act tomorrow. For now, let's try the Space Movement of the Azure Sky Phoenix!"
Su Yuan dispelled his thoughts, looked up, and his eyes shone with a silver light that rippled like water. His vision immediately transformed, becoming a transparent, three-dimensional black and white world.
All unobstructed areas turned white, while occupied spaces like desks and walls turned black.
At this moment, there were black human shapes in both the living room and the kitchen.
From their features, it wasn't hard to deduce that Su Yang was watching TV in the living room, and Tang Shiyang was washing dishes in the kitchen.
Su Yuan looked towards the kitchen, focused his mind, and immediately Star Power surged from his body, turning into silver light around him. In a flash, he disappeared from where he stood.
In the kitchen.
Tang Shiyang had just finished washing the dishes. She opened the warm cabinet, glancing at the green pepper beef and tomato scrambled eggs inside.
"Winter makes everything cool down quickly. Keeping it warm in the cabinet doesn't help much." Shaking her head, Tang Shiyang took out the two plates. "Little Yuan has been cultivating for so long this time. It's already past nine, and he still hasn't come out. I should reheat these dishes."
Just then, a silver flash appeared in the kitchen, and Su Yuan materialized behind Tang Shiyang.
Watching her place the two plates on the table, Su Yuan softly called out, "Mom~"
"Ah!"
Though he had lowered his voice, his sudden call still startled Tang Shiyang, causing her to shudder. Fortunately, she had already placed the dishes down, or else they might have fallen.
Tang Shiyang quickly turned around: "You scared me to death, Little Yuan, how did you..."
Before she could finish, she noticed Su Yuan's eyes had turned silver. Stunned for a moment, she quickly covered her mouth, her eyes growing moist.
"Little Yuan, did you...awaken?" Tang Shiyang's voice trembled slightly.
Non-black pupils meant awakening for the people of Great Flame. Though Guangchuan City was a remote third-level city, there were still many Star Card Masters. Tang Shiyang had seen several with non-black pupils.
Su Yuan nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Mom."
Without the full financial support of Su Yang and Tang Shiyang for his former self, Su Yuan wouldn't have awakened today. He was genuinely grateful.
"That's wonderful!" Tang Shiyang hugged Su Yuan with excitement. "Son, you finally awakened! Brother Yang, come quickly, our son has awakened!"
"Awakened?!"
Su Yang, a sturdy man with thick eyebrows, leaped up from the sofa and strode over quickly.
After a thorough inspection, Su Yang excitedly patted Su Yuan's shoulder several times: "You've truly awakened! Great, great! You're really my son. Our Su Family will have a Star Card Master! Hahaha!"
Feeling the force on his shoulder, Su Yuan winced internally.
Su Yang's grip was strong. If Su Yuan hadn't successfully awakened as an Eighth Stage Star Apprentice, enduring these pats would have been difficult.
But Su Yang's excitement was understandable.
Who in the Great Flame didn't want to be a Star Card Master?
Su Yang did too!
But Su Yang had it worse than Su Yuan. He couldn't even gather Star Power, making it impossible to enter the Star Apprentice Stage.
Therefore, Su Yang had exhausted his resources buying Soul Awakening Cards for Su Yuan. Beyond doing it for his son, it also carried his own dreams.
Now, after all the struggles and hardships, his son had finally awakened. It's hard to imagine Su Yang's joy...
Tang Shiyang released Su Yuan and wiped away excited tears from the corner of her eyes: "Little Yuan, go sit in the living room. The food is cold. I'll reheat it quickly, let's eat first!"
Su Yang also realized he had been overly excited. Pausing, he patted Su Yuan's shoulder and smiled: "Yes, yes, you just awakened, the energy consumption must be considerable. Eat first!"
Seeing the genuine joy from the bottom of their hearts, a warm feeling surged within Su Yuan.
He wasn't just inheriting this body. He was inheriting the memories of its former owner. The blood is thicker than water, and the blood connection can't be severed.
These two people in front of him were his parents. They were the only two people in this world he needed to protect!
The next day, just after seven.
"Mom, I'm leaving!"
"Little Yuan, be very careful! Don't go too deep. Shouldn't you reconsider and bring some classmates along?"
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what I'm doing."
"Make sure to call when you're out!"
"Okay!"
Carrying a black nylon backpack and holding a long bag in his left hand, Su Yuan responded and went out.
On the light rail to the east of the city, Su Yuan took out "Low Stage Star Beast Skill Evaluation," flipping through the skills he had marked.
"The Green Flame Wolf's Small Fireball, the Saber Lying Grasshopper's Open and Close Slash, the Rock Melt Beast's Steel Flame Finger... These are all Star Beasts in the Great Barbarian Mountain Area."
"Unfortunately, I can't deal with Flying Demon Beasts. Otherwise, the Lightning Raid of the Rapid Lightning Falcon would be excellent; among White Card skills, it's quite superior."
"In addition to the chosen attack skills, the Earth Cave Spider's Sky Binding Net is also a powerful control skill. I wonder if I'll encounter it..."
Indeed, Su Yuan's goal this trip was to hunt Star Cards in the wild.
First, to verify the system's two new functions. Second, to quickly improve his strength.
Though he had awakened a Master Grade Soul Card, he started nearly a year later than other students who had awakened successfully.
In terms of realm, he barely caught up as he had just broken through to the Star Apprentice Eighth Stage.
However, the strength of a Star Card Master didn't rely solely on the Star Power Realm.
The Star Power Realm was the foundation, but another crucial module was skills!
For Star Apprentices, successfully awakening the Soul Card not only provided a Soul Card skill but also allowed the Soul Card to act as a core in the Star Power Vortex to embed other Star Card Skills.
By embedding Star Cards, a Star Card Master could master the skills within the Star Cards, harnessing the full potential of Star Power to greatly enhance their strength.
Without Star Cards, one could only use the most basic and inefficient methods to release Star Power in battle, like a beast without claws.
This is why only students who had successfully awakened in the Star Apprentice Class could join the unified trials in the next semester.
Without awakening, students wouldn't benefit from the Soul Card's enhancement and wouldn't have any skills, making them vulnerable against Star Beasts born with inherent skills. Participating would be pointless.
Thus, Su Yuan was eager to acquire practical Star Card skills to boost his combat power.
On Blue Sea Star, hunting Star Beasts was the mainstream method to obtain Star Cards!
Star Beasts had a different structure from humans, born with Star Cores and skills.
After killing a Star Beast, a Star Card Master could use spiritual power to extract a Star Card with a random skill from the Star Core.
Although the cheapest White Cards could be bought for just a few thousand bucks, with the current state of the Su Family, Su Yuan didn't want to ask for money anymore.
Moreover, having now awakened and broken through to the Star Apprentice Eighth Stage, he had significantly enhanced strength and saw this as a perfect chance for practical training.
Compared to other Star Apprentices, Su Yuan's Azure Sky Phoenix Soul Card had the skill of Instant Movement, a highly comprehensive skill.
With Instant Movement, he could advance and retreat freely unless facing Bronze-level Star Beasts adept in speed. Self-protection shouldn't be an issue.
