Chapter 295: Chapter 241: Bronze Level Slime Chapter 295: Chapter 241: Bronze Level Slime South Pole City, in the camp before departure.
Still the original four-person room, Su Yuan, Gong Zhouheng, and Cheng Mu were all resting.
The group had just returned from Island B-3 and, after resting for a while, they waited for the military to provide the exchange list and the permissions to proceed with the exchange.
Gong Zhouheng and Cheng Mu occasionally looked at Su Yuan, their hearts filled with admiration.
Through Yu Hui and Liu Congyun, the two already knew that during the time Su Yuan went to Island B-6, not only did he prevent the revival of the Demon King, but he also broke through to the Gold Level!
When the two, who had stayed on Island B-3 and knew nothing, heard this news, they were utterly shocked.
Preventing the Demon King’s revival.
Breaking through to the Gold Level in the sophomore year.
Each achievement alone would shock everyone, let alone when they appear on the same person within a short period.
At this moment, although they were in the same few dozen square meters of space, Gong Zhouheng and Cheng Mu felt out of place with Su Yuan, as if they belonged to two different worlds.
On the bed, Su Yuan quietly looked at his left hand.
On his wrist was a blue bracelet with golden patterns…
this was exactly what the Slime had turned into.
At this moment, if someone could see through the flow of Star Power in Su Yuan’s body, they would notice that strands of Star Power continuously converged to his left hand and were absorbed by the Slime.
The blue bracelet turned from the Slime appeared slightly swollen, clearly absorbing with all its might, because Su Yuan perfectly controlled the output of the Star Power to match the Slime’s current absorption speed.
One person and one beast, one feeding Star Power, the other absorbing Star Power, quite a bit like nursing…
The reason for this was that, over the past few days, Su Yuan had roughly figured out some abilities brought by the Slime’s Devouring Law.
The Law seemed to be a mixture of talents and skills or a more fundamental high-level power containing talents and skills, more like an authority, which would exert its inherent power as the Slime continuously grew.
Currently, the Slime was still just a Star Apprentice, so the power of the Devouring Law was limited with only two effects.
First, as known from the beginning, the Slime could devour its aura and Star Power fluctuations to avoid detection.
Not only that, as long as it made contact with someone else, the Slime could also completely conceal their aura and Star Power fluctuations.
Second, this was discovered by Su Yuan these days, the Slime could devour various external energies to enhance itself.
And as long as the energy was sufficient, its improvement speed was far faster than cultivating in the Guardian Beast Space!
So, this scene appeared now.
Su Yuan looked at the system panel, at this moment, the Slime’s level had astonishingly reached Star Apprentice Ninth Rank!
In just a few days, under Su Yuan’s nurturing, the Slime jumped directly from Star Apprentice Second Stage to Star Apprentice Ninth Rank, which was terrifyingly fast!
However, what was unusual was that, up until now, the Slime had yet to undergo its first evolution.
Generally, Star Beasts or humans could hardly reach Star Apprentice Ninth Rank without Awakening because cultivation was excruciatingly slow without a Soul Card.
But the Slime, through its devouring cheat, easily reached this level.
“So, this is the Demon Emperor’s rebirth.
This cheat feels even more exaggerated than mine…”
Looking at the Slime still trying hard to devour his Star Power, Su Yuan sighed secretly.
Retaining the Devouring Law after rebirth could indeed be called a cheat.
In terms of assisting cultivation, among many Laws, the Devouring Law could probably rank at least in the top three…
“Puchi Puchi!…”
At this moment, Su Yuan heard the slightly excited and urgent voice of the Slime in his mind.
The blue bracelet turned from the Slime also reverted back to its round, rotund body, with the golden patterns on it glowing brighter.
“About to break through?”
Feeling a slight stir in his heart, Su Yuan immediately stored the Slime back into the Guardian Beast Space.
During this process, the other two people in the room didn’t notice anything unusual at all…
“Puchi!
Puchi!…”
In the empty Guardian Beast Space, the Slime trembled slightly, exerting all its strength.
The golden patterns on the Slime’s body shone brightly under its efforts, and a large amount of dark light imbued with devouring power burst out from within, enveloping it.
Soon, the intense Star Power fluctuations settled, with the thick black light gradually dissipating and revealing the Slime’s form again.
ƝοѵǤ0.сᴑ
Its size remained the same, looking no different from before, but Su Yuan noticed that the golden patterns on the Slime’s body became more profound and intricate and the golden color in its eyes grew purer and brighter.
With the Slime breaking through to the Bronze Level, it finally completed its first evolution, and the system panel displayed significant changes:
[Guardian Beast: Slime (Emperor-level Reincarnator)]
[Law: Devouring]
[Level: Bronze Early Stage]
[Grade: Master]
[Species: Slime]
[Element: Water]
[Six Dimensions: Strength D, Agility D, Defense D, Constitution D, Spirit D, Star Power C]
[Skills: Giantification (blue | entry-level: 0/200), Regeneration (blue | entry-level: 0/200), Shape-shift (blue | entry-level: 0/200)]
…
“All six dimensions besides Star Power are D.
As expected from a Slime…
though it’s a bit special, reaching Master Grade, but still at the bottom of Master Grade…”
“Besides the Law, there are three other skills…
Huh?
Progress bar?!”
Su Yuan’s pupils contracted sharply.
On the system panel, there were three progress bars behind the Slime’s skills!
Utterly shocked, Su Yuan stared at the three progress bars.
After a while, his astonishment turned into intense joy.
“Does it mean…
I can add points to it?!”
…
“Puchi!”
In the Guardian Beast Space, due to just breaking through, the Slime felt its strengthened self and became slightly inflated.
But upon lowering its head to check itself, it noticed its body hadn’t grown at all and became depressed.
“Puchiji…”
The Slime was still young, and as a Star Beast, it subconsciously felt the larger the body, the stronger one was.
At this moment, Su Yuan sent a thought: “It’s okay.
You’ve already become stronger.
Feel your abilities well.”
Encouraged, the Slime perked up again and began exploring its abilities.
Soon, in a surge of Star Power flow, the Slime’s entire body swelled rapidly, expanding to a diameter of two meters!
“Puchi Puchi!”
The Slime was overjoyed, suddenly feeling empowered again!
So, it kept expanding and shrinking, expanding and shrinking…
not long after, it shrunk back to its original size and collapsed to the ground, exhausted with nearly all its Star Power depleted…
Generally, casting magic consumed much more than maintaining it.
With the Slime’s Bronze Level of Star Power, how could it use the blue skill like this?
Watching the fatigued Slime in the Guardian Beast Space, Su Yuan thought: “System, upgrade the Slime’s Giantification skill to Skilled Level!”
As Star Dust was consumed, the [Giantification] on the Slime’s panel blurred slightly, jumping from “entry-level” to “skilled”.
Simultaneously, an invisible blue energy surged into the Slime’s body in the Guardian Beast Space.
“Puchi!!”
The Slime seemed to sense something and abruptly stood up from its limp state.
With a low shout, it again used up its scant remaining Star Power to perform Giantification!
In an instant, the Slime’s body expanded rapidly, reaching a diameter of two and a half meters!
“It works!”
Su Yuan was overjoyed; it turned out he could indeed add points to Guardian Beasts!
“Puchi…
jiji…”
Because the Slime drained its last bit of Star Power, it blacked out and collapsed into a puddle of goo in the Guardian Beast Space…
Su Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
He was about to summon it out and provide some Star Power when Liu Congyun walked into the room.
Su Yuan was pondering when Wang Shuqi arrived at the door and said to everyone, “The exchange is now open.
You can check it through the Detection Communication Device!”
“Oh?
Let’s take a look!”
Cheng Mu and Gong Zhouheng were delighted and immediately opened the Detection Communication Device to check.
After more than a month, besides the graduation exam, the most important thing was the battle merit exchange.
Wang Shuqi reminded, “By the way, the Captain said that apart from Star Stones, you can choose up to three items!”
Cheng Mu laughed, “One hardly suffices, and three…”
Before he finished, Cheng Mu remembered something and turned to look at Su Yuan.
Obviously, someone in this room could exchange for three items.
Wang Shuqi also looked at Su Yuan, who seemed to be deep in thought on the bed, and once again marveled silently before leaving directly.
After confirming the Slime was fine, Su Yuan activated the Detection Communication Device.
Indeed, the exchange function for battle merits had been unlocked.
The effect was similar to the talisman Hou Wu previously took out.
Su Yuan looked at his Communication Device, with up to 200,000 battle merits, deep in thought.
According to regulations, to prevent invalid sea beast kills outside the island, the Detection Communication Device wouldn’t record battle merits for kills more than 5 kilometers beyond the coastline.
However, the sea beasts killed when Su Yuan and others aided Island B-6 and entered the Secret Realm certainly counted.
Su Yuan and the Evil Dragon Demon successively killed Hei Lin, Dragon Turtle, Tidal Battle Beast, Cold Crystal Sea Lion—four Gold High Stage Master Sea Beasts—and some other minions.
Even the self-destructed Phantom Sea Divine Deer and Sky Extreme Kui Bull, due to the Detection Communication Device’s Power of Cause and Effect, contributed a part of battle merits to Su Yuan.
Combined, the Undersea Temple exploration yielded over 50,000.
Adding the previous balance, Su Yuan’s battle merits now reached 200,000 points.
“What to exchange…”
Su Yuan flipped through the military exchange list, unsure what to select for a while.
Space Star Cards, he had already looked at them.
Now without Hou Wu’s authority, the only Space skills on the list were [Void Escape Technique] and [Space Shock Fist], even [Immobilization] wasn’t there.
And of course, even if [Immobilization] were there, unless there were no other choices, Su Yuan wouldn’t choose it due to its redundancy.
“As for Fire Element Star Cards…”
Su Yuan flipped through the Fire Element Star Cards page by page.
And indeed, there were a few decent Fire Element Star Cards, such as the powerful [Three Suns Refining Fire Technique], and the spiritual attack [Heart Burning Skill] among others.
However, Su Yuan could only choose one item now.
Selecting a blue Fire Element Star Card didn’t seem very necessary.
Besides, having just advanced to Gold Level, upon returning, he could get [Flame Sun Fire Control Technique] from his teacher and tame the Divine Fire, which would naturally evolve into a purple skill.
Choosing a blue Fire Element skill now would not only be of limited effect but might also be redundant.
It would be better to wait until later to add other skills as needed.
“Puchi!”
In this short time, a vigorous voice came from within the Guardian Beast Space.
By devouring the surrounding Star Power, the Slime’s recovery speed was extraordinary.
It had already recovered some Star Power and leaped up!
“Puchi Puchi!”
The Slime, excited, conveyed its thoughts to Su Yuan.
“Awakened a new ability from the Devouring Law?”
“Puchi!” The Slime nodded repeatedly, describing it to Su Yuan.
“Oh?”
After hearing the Slime’s description of its new ability, Su Yuan was moved and found no heart to exchange anymore.
His figure flashed and instantly teleported out of the room…
