World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 283 - 167 Flying Sky State

Zhang Xiaoman complained about the System and then immediately activated the new Skill he had just learned.

"This Skill requires a Cold Weapon to work and only needs 10 points of Energy, which isn’t much. It looks like it can become a regular Skill in the future... Huh? Wait, does this mean I’ve successfully activated it? Why don’t I feel anything?"

Zhang Xiaoman recalled the appearance of the Skill in the game and then squatted down to pick up the Purple Cloud Divine Sword that he had previously stuck in the ground, subconsciously flipping it in his hand.

As he did so, the Purple Cloud Divine Sword did not fall back into his hand but instead floated above the palm of his hand.

Zhang Xiaoman was certain that he hadn’t used the authority of the Master of the Original Realm to make it float, but it rose on its own anyway, which seemed to be the effect of the Flying Sky State Skill.

Thinking of the hero in the game whose weapon also floated behind him, Zhang Xiaoman immediately understood why the Skill was named "Flying Sky State"; it wasn’t about making himself fly, but making the weapon fly.

"Cold Weapons, the Purple Cloud Divine Sword counts as a Cold Weapon, so it can be influenced by the Skill. What about other objects then?"

As he spoke, he bent down to pick up a small rock from the ground, but the stone just wouldn’t fly up.

Zhang Xiaoman even kept telling himself the rock was a brick, a Cold Weapon, but still, there was no effect.

This couldn’t help but remind him of his Sword Formation Skill, which also required planting a sword into the ground to work; even a toy sword would do, but without a sword, the Skill simply wouldn’t function.

"It seems that you really do need an actual Cold Weapon for it to work; trying to cut corners just doesn’t help."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head somewhat helplessly. He found that any item or Skill drawn from the System, similar to those in games, always had some rigid settings embedded in them.

Considering the factor of the authority of the Master of the Original Realm, Zhang Xiaoman decided to go outside to more precisely test the effects of the Skill.

As his figure disappeared at the Final Gate, the small rock he had been holding in his hand did not go through with him, but fell outside the gate.

Zhang Xiaoman was also very clear about this, that things from the real world could be brought into the Original Realm, while items from within the Original Realm could not be taken to reality.

At first, he didn’t know why this was the case, but as he passed through the Final Gate multiple times, he gradually sensed a force of rules within it.

This force was not from the Original Realm, but from the real universe.

He could sense in the dark that there was a strange force in the real universe that was much higher than that of the Original Realm.

He couldn’t find a proper adjective for this force because it was something humans had not yet discovered. If he had to describe it, he could use the term "level" from the games.

Because the Original Realm universe was newly formed, its "level" was not as high as that of the real universe. Therefore, according to the rule that Zhang Xiaoman sensed, things native to it could not be taken out.

To take something out, the intensity of this force must be increased—that is, he needed to Upgrade the Original Realm.

To distinguish this attribute, Zhang Xiaoman decided to give it a name himself—Boundary Value.

The Boundary Value of the Original Realm was still very low, so Zhang Xiaoman needed to spend Star Dust to increase its Boundary Value. Once its Boundary Value approached or reached the level of the real universe, he would be able to bring the things from here over.

The authority he held over the Original Realm was also related to the Boundary Value.

As the Master of the Original Realm, it was not that he lacked the ability to open galaxies and create voids, but because the Boundary Value of the Original Realm was too low to support such power.

"Just like a person with hands and feet being locked in an iron cage, it’s not that they can’t hop or jump, but the space around them is too small to allow it."

"That was Zhang Xiaoman’s status now."

"So at the end of the day, he still needed Star Dust to "upgrade." This brought him back to the problem at hand, for him, the current Star Dust was barely enough to develop his gang, let alone to enhance the Boundary Value of the Original Realm."

"These issues were currently unsolvable, and there was no point for him to dwell on them. The pressing matter at hand was how to improve his own strength to face the upcoming "Great Fusion."

Taking a step through the Final Gate, he found himself on a vast expanse of sand. Zhang Xiaoman checked the Duration of his Flying Sky State—it was only ten minutes—so without delay, he began testing."

He tossed the Purple Cloud Divine Sword in his hand, and as expected, the sword began to float. It moved around him according to the changes in his thoughts."

However, the movement was extremely slow and had no attack power, and the range it could move was no more than twenty centimeters from his body."

"Damn, I didn’t expect this Skill to have such an effect. It’s almost like having a telekinesis superpower," Zhang Xiaoman mused, surprised by the hovering feature. Although it wasn’t particularly practical, it was great for showing off and intimidating others, especially since it was an added bonus."

Having confirmed the form of the Skill, he began to test its practicality."

He applied the Spirit Detection Technique to himself, and silver light burst forth from his eyes. Now he could clearly sense a faint Dark Energy Fluctuation around the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, which wasn’t very strong but was presumably an added effect of the Flying Sky State Skill."

Zhang Xiaoman went over to some ruins nearby and, with a wave of his hand, he slashed the sword at a dirt wall."

Where he struck, apart from a notch, there was a faint trace unlike any other, like ice evaporated by fire, though it wasn’t very clear."

"It seems this is the added Dark Energy Damage. It looks quite promising. Hopefully, the Skill will produce better effects once it’s upgraded," he thought, quite satisfied with this newly acquired Skill, especially after understanding the difference between physical damage and Dark Energy Damage. He was now even more eager for this type of attack."

The ten minutes passed quickly, and the Purple Cloud Divine Sword naturally fell to the ground."

Zhang Xiaoman activated its recall ability, making it fly back to his hand. Then he threw it out like flipping a knife, recalled it again, and threw it out, having a great time until the voice of Star Rank from his wristwatch interrupted him."

"Star Lord, you have an incoming call. Would you like to take it now?"

"Oh? Who is it from?"

"The caller is identified as ’Brother Hero,’ a member of the Star Alliance Star Palace, a One-star Forest Guardian."

"Alright, patch him through, and enable the projection as well."

After he finished speaking, the end of his wristwatch lit up, projecting the image of Brother Hero."

"Brother Man! I’ve got everything ready! When will you open the portal on your side so I can teleport in?"

"Oh? Is it already almost 9 o’clock?"

Zhang Xiaoman was a little surprised; he hadn’t realized that his trip to the Original Realm and the drawing of skills had taken up so much time.
