Chapter 290: Chapter 237 Gold Level Chapter 290: Chapter 237 Gold Level Inside the ruins, Su Yuan sat in the grand hall, fully absorbing the pure energy surging around him.
Earlier, Su Yuan had gone all out with the Great Sun Burning Body Technique, wielding the Anode Divine Spear, piercing through the Destiny Plate, and interrupting the reviving Demon King.
The nine Source Pearls on the Destiny Plate shattered and exploded, transforming into a massive surge of pure energy that overwhelmed Su Yuan.
In the urgent situation earlier, Su Yuan had overextended the Great Sun Burning Body Technique to the point of barely exceeding his bodily limits, resulting in severe burns all over his body!
Yet the massive amount of Source Pearl energy that surged over was cool and gentle, carrying an intense vitality!
Su Yuan’s burned body made contact with it, immediately feeling a cooling sensation, like a drought meeting Gan Lin, and he instinctively absorbed some.
Very quickly, Su Yuan discovered that this Source Pearl energy seemed prepared for massive absorption by others, possessing extremely high and pure energy!
Previously sealed within the Source Pearls, it couldn’t be directly extracted and absorbed, but now, after being transformed by the black-gold stone slab, it could actually be easily absorbed!
Consequently, Su Yuan immediately exerted full effort to absorb the continually surging Source Pearl energy in the hall.
Soon, the entire grand hall’s energy was like a vortex, continuously gathering towards Su Yuan’s closed eyes.
And the Star Power Vortex within Su Yuan’s body also expanded vastly under the infusion of such pure energy…
As time ticked away, who knew how long had passed.
The Star Power within the grand hall had thinned to a mere layer.
Su Yuan tightly closed his eyes, and the Star Power Vortex within his body, after absorbing immense energy, was now undergoing extremely intense changes!
After a while, a faint sound seemed to come from within Su Yuan’s body, as if something had broken.
Immediately, an unparalleled strong surge of Star Power radiated from him!
“Pooh…”
In the grand hall, something strange seemed to have been blown away.
Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes, carefully sensing his current state.
After confirming there was no mistake, his eyes showed uncontrollable joy!
“Gold Level!
By some coincidence, I reached Gold Level today!”
Su Yuan was overjoyed, his agitated emotions unable to calm.
To say a month ago, he had just broken through to Silver High Stage.
Coming to the South Sea for missions was to accumulate battle merits and exchange for a blue Space Star Card.
Never had he thought that within just a month, he could break through to Gold Level!
How much time and resources would others need to break from Silver High Stage to Gold Level?
By coincidence, he absorbed the energy dispersed from the beads, and ascended to Gold Level in one stroke!
Su Yuan took several deep breaths and was about to get up to inspect the hall.
After all, breaking through to Gold Level here might have taken a long time, and he didn’t know what was happening outside.
However, at that moment, a peculiar creature hopped into his sight.
Blue, spherical, and soft…
“Slime?”
Su Yuan was stunned…
Wasn’t this the commonly seen Water Element Star Beast, Slime, in the north?
Being one of the most common Star Beasts, Slime was a mandatory question on the college entrance exam.
ṅονǤο.сο
There were many kinds of Slimes, with many variations, Fire Slime, Water Slime, Wind Slime…
and many evolution branches, resembling Elemental Elves in some ways.
But Elemental Elves were stronger than Slimes!
Any Elemental Elf had at least two E-level Talent attributes and about three skills, possessing decent combat power.
As for Slimes, just the common Water Slime, aside from having E-level Star Power, had all other attributes at F.
They were considered the bottom tier in the Star Beast world, and everyone could bully them.
But why would a Slime suddenly appear in this grand hall?
Su Yuan inspected this Slime.
It looked ordinary and weak.
However, unlike typical Slimes, this one had quite exquisite golden patterns, and its eyes weren’t the usual blue of a Water Slime but were rather textured gold.
“Speaking of which, these patterns look somewhat familiar…”
Suddenly, Su Yuan thought of something, his pupils contracted, and he instantly teleported dozens of meters away, summoning the Phoenix Perch Saber.
Scorching white flames erupted from him, instantly fully prepared for combat!
Because Su Yuan recognized the golden patterns on this Slime.
These golden patterns were remarkably similar to the Original Mark he had shattered earlier, like they were disassembled from the mark and slightly morphed!
“The Demon King has revived?!”
Su Yuan’s mind was shaken, the joy of just breaking through to Gold Level vanished, looking at the Golden Pattern Slime before him with uncertainty.
Even at Shining Star Level, Su Yuan found it difficult to contend with, not to mention surpassing the King Level far above the Burning Sun!
Even if it had just revived and might not have high levels, it would surely be an unimaginable formidable enemy!
“No wonder I can’t discern this Slime’s Realm.
It was the revived Demon King!”
Though it looked like a mere lowest-tier Slime, Su Yuan was extremely tense, his spirit taut to the extreme.
Under that weak shell might lurk an ancient Demon King!
Yet at that moment, in Su Yuan’s vigilant gaze, the Slime started hopping towards Su Yuan, making “poof, poof” sounds.
“It looks…
not too bright?”
Soon, Su Yuan gradually recovered from his earlier shock, staring at the Slime, continuously pondering.
“Could this be a Slime formed by the strong energy under the black-gold stone slab, just emerged in the Secret Realm?”
Star Beasts formed in various ways, with energy transformation being a primary method.
Depending on the energy’s nature and intensity, various strengths of elemental Star Beasts could form.
By then, the Golden Pattern Slime had reached Su Yuan’s feet.
“Pooh!”
A low sound emanated from the Slime’s body.
Su Yuan scrutinized it again.
It did seem like a newly born life form.
Su Yuan had a thought, and shot a bit of Star Power with a flick of his hand.
The Slime, wide-eyed and heavily startled, quickly twisted to the side as its body flowed.
“Boom!”
Su Yuan’s Star Power left a small crater on the ground.
Though the Slime avoided it, it was blown away by the exploding Star Power’s shockwave.
The Slime’s face showed a very human-like expression of slight grievance.
It conjured two small hands to pat off the dirt and rubble, glanced at Su Yuan, and then hopped towards him again with a “poof, poof.”
“Not a disguise, it indeed seems very weak…”
Su Yuan shook his head, nearly confirming this Slime was indeed very weak.
But it had some extraordinary traits.
Earlier, the Slime must have been inside the hall long before.
It wasn’t until he woke from his cultivation after breaking through that he first noticed it.
Its entire body didn’t emit the slightest aura, which was indeed peculiar.
With Su Yuan’s sensitivity, even the General Levels couldn’t hide nearby without him noticing.
At this point, the Slime having reached near Su Yuan deflated slightly, exerted and hopped up, using its conjured small hands to grasp Su Yuan’s shoulder, climbing up with a “heave-ho” and finally perched on his shoulder.
“Pooh!”
The Slime’s golden eyes stared at Su Yuan with a hint of affection.
Su Yuan stared back, big eyes to small eyes, a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind.
“Could this guy think of me as its mother…”
It was said that some creatures regarded the first person they saw upon birth as the closest person.
But could a Slime, birthed from natural energy, do the same?
Su Yuan’s face darkened, grabbing the Slime from his shoulder and tossing it away, no longer minding it, and turned to look outside the hall.
By then, the entire ruin had started to distort slightly.
Only this grand hall, due to the Barrier’s effect, remained unaffected.
As the door’s water-colored curtain scattered, the distorting ruin extended to the grand hall.
Su Yuan soon felt a strong force of rejection, prompted to pick up the partially damaged black-gold stone slab from the ground.
Instantly, a rush of information flooded into Su Yuan’s mind.
It was a memory fragment, showing a scene in a grand palace, ten Star Beasts of various forms emitting terrifying auras stood on both sides.
A Naga clad in golden armor, a Water Qilin black as ink, a Sea Azure Dragon with five claws…
Before Su Yuan could ponder more, under the extreme repelling force, a water-colored vortex formed, enveloping Su Yuan.
Su Yuan prepared to leave through the water-colored vortex.
Suddenly, the Slime he’d thrown away furiously hopped over, jumped, and barely clung to Su Yuan’s left leg.
Su Yuan frowned, instinctively wanting to shake it off, but hesitated seeing its tear-filled eyes looking pitiful.
“This Slime is clearly unusual.
Might as well take it out to investigate…”
Thinking so, Su Yuan placed it back on his shoulder.
“Hold on tight.”
Su Yuan reminded.
“Pooh!”
The Slime instantly brightened with joy, nuzzling Su Yuan’s face before gripping his shoulder tightly.
The pulling force of the water-colored vortex grew stronger.
With a flash of water light, Su Yuan and the Slime disappeared from the grand hall…
