Iyas chose the Underground Maze based on intuition, which was located in the Southwest Region, unaffected by war, near the coast.

To get there, one had to pass through several forests frequented by large Demons, which afforded opportunities to gather Experience.

Emerging from that Underground Maze and heading northeast, they could rendezvous with Dongmu's troops and encounter numerous underground mazes along the way to explore.

The location Iyas chose was truly excellent—Yang Yu began to suspect that she had recently gotten smarter.

However, Iyas repeatedly emphasized that she had really chosen it purely based on intuition.

Somehow, she felt that going there, Yang Yu could obtain the information he desired.

If pressed for an explanation, it was as if, by some divine preordainment, she had received the Goddess's guidance.

Yang Yu believed her.

He had never felt anything like being guided by a goddess...

He remembered how, in the past, he always had this "next shot will surely succeed" hunch, and he could even see the Goddess of Fortune lifting her skirt, yet who knew that the Goddess of Fortune's skirt lifting was just to kick him squarely.

Anyway, the Goddess of Fortune had always trampled him underfoot—Yang Yu was used to it.

Iyas's Luck was so high.

In times of confusion, having her play the role of a Tool Man was quite useful.

Whenever they met someone, he would say, "Truly a woman blessed by the goddess, following her is sure to be profitable"; if not, it was no loss, as they would still perform a thorough sweep when necessary.

Upon boarding the Lotcar and descending the steep slope, Yang Yu and his group left Qinghe Volcano and plunged into the dense jungle.

Ensuring safety, Yang Yu threw the Racial Essence of the Blazing Fire Clan into the candy-making machine.

[System detected that the player has inserted the Racial Essence of the Blazing Fire Clan, now extracting the corresponding game from the system.

This race is a kart racing game against seven NPCs, where ranking determines the quality of the Candy.]

The familiar system's electronic voice rang in Yang Yu's ears, and a keyboard and screen appeared; eight identical karts lined up side by side.

Soon, a countdown appeared in front of Yang Yu's eyes—10, 9, 8...

At the count of 1, all karts ignited.

As the race began, the seven NPCs had varying starts; three karts had the same speed as Yang Yu's, while four deliberately slowed down.

The sole goal of these NPCs was to brainstorm and prevent Yang Yu from taking first place.

The race consisted of ten laps in total.

When Yang Yu finished the first lap, the four karts that had slowed down revealed their competitive edge, lining up in front of Yang Yu in an attempt to block him from overtaking.

However, their efforts were in vain against Yang Yu.

Yang Yu easily exploited the flaws they showed while drifting on the curves, ramming their chassis and utilizing the gutter for overtaking, breezing past the four NPCs.

In the end, Yang Yu easily obtained the highest-level Level Limit Upgrade Candy and also earned a new title.

—["Old Driver"], when driving a vehicle, +20% movement speed, +20% Spirit Resistance.

Although the title was for vehicles, it surprisingly worked on the Lotcar as well.

After acquiring this title, the Lotcar felt light as a feather and ran incredibly fast.

With this title, navigating maps became much more convenient for Yang Yu in the future.

Not only did he receive a map-navigational title this time, but after using the Level Limit Upgrade Candy, Yang Yu also clarified something that had been on his mind for a while.

[Player's Level cap has been raised to Level 140, detected that Racial Essence usage has exceeded the limit.

No further use of the same type of Racial Essence to increase the Level cap is allowed.]

Upon using Candy, it will be changed to acquire attribute values.

Detected player has already reached the Overload Level, exceeding the highest cap increase for attribute boosts to 2 times.

Gained attributes: Strength+100, Defense+100, Intelligence+100, Special Defense+100, Agility+100.

The attribute enhancement has already reached its maximum value, no more can be increased.

The Candy refined from the same Racial Essence has no effect, the unusable Racial Essence will be returned to the inventory.]

The system's voice rang in Yang Yu's ear, and on his empty inventory, a red vortex flickered, revealing a small piece of Blazing Fire Clan's Racial Essence.

Yang Yu tried to move this small piece of Racial Essence to the candy machine, but only received the system message [Using it will have no effect].

Upon examining it, the originally palm-sized Racial Essence of the Blazing Fire Clan was now only as big as a glass marble.

"Lotcar, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Slowing his pace slightly, Lotcar looked at Yang Yu sitting on his back,

"What is it?"

"As an outstanding member of the Silver Teeth Clan, you must have used the Racial Essence from your own clan when you were a child. How did it feel at that time?"

Sensing the doubts in Yang Yu's heart, Lotcar replied:

"I could distinctly feel myself getting stronger.

However, this kind of strength increment isn't about using more Racial Essence to become stronger.

It seems everyone has a threshold for their own clan's Racial Essence.

Once this threshold is exceeded, no matter how much you use, you won't get any stronger.

I don't know what would happen when other people use Racial Essence not from their own clan, but they probably have their own thresholds too."

"Just as I thought. If it were possible to enhance indefinitely, I wouldn't have been able to obtain so many types of Racial Essence."

Lotcar couldn't help but laugh,

"The Blazing Fire Clan is very generous this time. If it were someone else, it would be impossible to obtain so much Racial Essence.

Using so much at once, reaching the threshold is normal."

"That makes sense."

Yang Yu was also encountering the situation of excess Racial Essence for the first time, and he temporarily didn't know how to handle it.

Perhaps, it could also be used by Bai Jin and the others to enhance their strength.

Just that...

Yang Yu remembered the many rumors about Racial Essence he had read about in the All Things Library.

Very few people, like Yang Yu, use Racial Essence from other races to enhance their strength.

This is partly because Racial Essence is seen as an extremely important Secret Treasure for a race, making it very difficult to obtain.

If it were easy to deal with the problem through money, Yang Yu wouldn't have been stuck at the same Level for so long.

Additionally, using Racial Essence could potentially induce mutations.

Details can be referred to Elder Li Yan in the All Things Library, who mutated after ingesting the Dragon Clan's Racial Essence.

When giant dragons give rewards to winners at the Dragon God Conference, they offer Racial Essence according to an individual's threshold for what they can handle, making the mutation manageable, so that even if mutations occur, they will be beneficial.

But using massive amounts of Racial Essence from different races uncontrollably in a short time could make it unpredictable.

The probability of adverse mutations will skyrocket.

Yang Yu, with the support of the System and using refined Racial Essence, managed to avoid some of the inherent risks of direct use.
