Chapter 246 Swallowing the Star Core

Su Yuan quickly left the room and came to a deserted and secluded square behind the camp.

Raising his hand to release the slime, Su Yuan put his hand on its head.

"Suck it."

"Pfft!"

The slime rubbed Su Yuan's palm, and then began to swallow the star power released by Su Yuan.

And as the slime began to devour it, Su Yuan's eyes did show a little surprise.

"This devouring ability is actually ten times stronger than before!"

If the speed at which slimes devoured star power was just a trickle as thick as a toothpick, now it is like a chopstick.

"grumble?!"

Slime seemed to be shocked by his sudden increase in devouring ability. He quickly slowed down his devouring speed and looked up at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan said: "It's okay, just let go and suck."

After hearing this, the slime started gobbling it up again.

"Pfftchtchtt!"

It didn't take long for the slime to replenish its star power and become chubby!

For Su Yuan, who is gold level and has a star spring, this star power is nothing.

Su Yuan asked: "Can you really do what you just said?"

"Pfft!" Slime nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's try it."

Su Yuan turned his hand and took out a star core, which was obtained from the water elemental elf in the ruins of Haicheng.

Su Yuan threw the star core towards the slime, and the slime swallowed it directly.

The slime closed his eyes, the golden lines on his body lit up slightly, and a layer of black light gradually filled the surface of his body.

Within ten seconds, Slime opened his eyes again, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

I saw water flowing on his body, and after a moment of accumulating strength, a spear transformed by flowing water condensed in front of him.

"Pfft!"

The slime shouted, and the flowing water spear flew out and went straight into the distance.

Su Yuan flashed and appeared in front of the flowing water spear. He raised his hand to smash the flowing water spear into pieces, and then flashed back to the original place.

"Puff! Puff!"

Slime was extremely excited.

"It actually worked!" Su Yuan's eyes were full of surprise.

After breaking through just now, the slime said that it can now swallow the star core.

Moreover, when swallowing the star core, you can choose to swallow the energy in the star core, or absorb one of the skills.

Su Yuan could understand the former. After all, the star core is a pure energy crystal that ordinary humans and star beasts cannot absorb directly.

But now that the slime has reached the bronze level, the law of devouring has been greatly enhanced, and it is not surprising that it can devoure star cores.

But the thing about being able to absorb one of those skills…

? ? ?

Su Yuan was startled. Isn't this better than the "extraction function" of his own system?

Moreover, in order for the Stardust system to directionally extract a certain skill from the star core that was not obtained by one's own kills, it would need to spend a large amount of stardust equivalent to upgrading the skill to the transformation state.

But slime doesn't need it.

Su Yuan asked again: "Is there a limit to the number of swallowing skills?"

"Pfft (it doesn't seem to be there now)!"

"What about other restrictions?"

"Puff-puff-puff (there are quality restrictions, it cannot exceed its own quality +1)!

"Personal quality +1? That is... epic?!"

Su Yuan's heart was shocked, and he was horrified when he looked at the little slime in front of him.

This ability is simply infinitely stronger than that of the star beast manifested in human form!

Humanoid star beasts can be equipped with one or two additional skills, and like human star card masters, they can only start to set epic star cards when they reach gold level.

But slime is different. Now it can absorb epic purple cards?

Su Yuan thought for a moment and took out another star core, which was obtained from the cold crystal sea lion.

If you don’t have an epic star core for slime to try, use the blue star core to confirm first.

When the slime saw Su Yuan throwing another star core, he immediately jumped up to catch it and devour it again.

But this time, it took longer.

Several minutes passed before Slime opened his eyes again, his whole body shaking as if he was charging up his skills.

"Pfft!"

The water elements gathered in the mid-air ahead, and a transparent and invisible water cube was quickly formed. It was the [Water-Suppressing Ice Prison] that the Cold Crystal Sea Lion had used before.

Although the water ice prison used by Slime is only as big as a basketball court, there is no doubt that it can really be used!

Su Yuan opened the panel and made another unexpected discovery:

[Beast Control: Slime (Emperor Level Reincarnator)]

[Law: Devour]

…

[Additional skills: Water Suppressing Ice Prison (blue | Dacheng), Riptide Spear (green | Mastery)]

These additional skills actually completely inherit the opponent's skill level!

"Okay, not bad!"

Su Yuan was delighted. Until now, Su Yuan had fully felt what it meant to be an emperor-level reincarnation carrying the ultimate law.

Such potential... No, such a plug-in is simply heaven-defying!

When the slime was praised, he couldn't help but dance happily around Su Yuan.

Su Yuan suddenly thought of something and took out a bead with a mark from the ring. It was the Origin Bead obtained from the ancient Naga.

Since the destiny plate was pierced by the Anode Divine Gun in the ruins of Haicheng and the Demon King failed to resurrect, the strange power on this Origin Bead has also disappeared, and it can be received into the ring.

Su Yuan originally wanted to extract the pure energy and absorb it, but found that it was impossible to do so.

This bead is obviously a carefully crafted star power tool. It is more difficult to extract the energy from it than to extract the energy from the star stone or even the star core.

"This bead was prepared by the Demon King for himself after his resurrection. In addition to providing pure energy to restore some of his strength, the mark on it is probably more important..."

After countless years, even if the Demon King successfully resurrected, it would be difficult to restore all his strength at once.

This can be seen from the choice of the Sea City Ruins to turn the resurrection place into a gold-level secret realm. Most of them are just gold to shining stars.

And the ten source beads are what he prepared for his "weak period" after his resurrection.

In addition to the pure energy in the source beads, what this mark represents is probably even more complicated.

Ordinary people and star beasts cannot use this source bead, but the swallowing law preserved through reincarnation should be absorbed by the slime...

At this time, as Su Yuan took out the source bead, the slime immediately felt something pulling and looked over.

"Puji (want)!"

Su Yuan thought for a while and threw the source bead to it.

Now that the beast control contract has been completed, the life and death of the slime is entirely up to him, and he is not afraid that there is anything unfavorable in the source bead.

The slime took the source bead and swallowed it into his body. After just a moment, the slime began to swallow the origin bead bit by bit like eating candy. He looked relaxed and didn't seem to be very strenuous.

As a large amount of energy was swallowed by the slime, through the contract, Su Yuan could feel that the slime was getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye every minute and every second!

Su Yuan felt it a little: "At this speed, it may take some time to completely swallow it."

What can be obtained from the mark of this bead can only be known after the swallowing is completed.

Putting aside this matter, Su Yuan leaned down and looked at the slime, saying: "You are now my beast control, so I'd better give you a name."

"Puji!"

Hearing the name, the slime, who was tasting the source bead carefully, suddenly became excited and looked up at Su Yuan with expectation.

Su Yuan kneaded the slime, and the touch was quite good: "Well... let's call it Ruanruan."

"Ji??"

The slime didn't expect Su Yuan to be so casual, and immediately widened its golden eyes and was stunned.

"Jiji!"

The slime had a strong unwillingness.

It's not that it sounds good or not, but the name seems very weak!

"Okay, this is it." Su Yuan made the decision directly, and then kneaded the slime hard, "Ruanruan, it's worthy of the name."

Names like this, of course, have to be simple and easy to remember.

Su Yuan's mind just flashed a name like "Shi Aotian" that is majestic and domineering, and full of middle school atmosphere. I think the immature slime will definitely like it very much.

But when it grows up and becomes mature, I'm afraid it won't even have the face to report its own name when dealing with people...

"Pujiji..." The protest was ineffective, and the slime could only accept it with a lot of disappointment.

As the naming was completed, the system was automatically updated without Su Yuan issuing any instructions.

Not only the name was updated, but also the power of the Devouring Law was refined:

[Beast Tamer: Ruanruan (Emperor-level Reincarnator)]

[Law: Devouring (Breath Containment, Energy Devouring, Plundering)]

…

"Breath Containment, Energy Devouring, and Plundering should correspond to the three abilities that Ruanruan currently possesses.

In addition, after the breakthrough, the system seems to have become a little smarter…"

Su Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise. In the past, unless a clear command was issued or a set condition was triggered, the system would not make any movement.

But now, it can update some information autonomously in accordance with the wishes of the Master.

But after Su Yuan tried it, he found that it was just that. Although it was a little smarter, there were no new functions.

"Anyway, this shows that the system is also growing. I wonder if there will be any new changes after the Yaoxing level."

Su Yuan gathered his thoughts and said to the slime... Ruanruan: "Why don't you go back to the Beast Tamer Space first?"

"Pujiji (Can I not go back?)" The Beast Tamer Space was too boring, and Ruanruan seemed to not want to go back.

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but just like before, you can't make any noise."

Ruanruan said excitedly, "Puji (good)!"

Then, Ruanruan turned into a blue bracelet with gold patterns and wrapped around Su Yuan's left hand again.

Su Yuan himself has a strong breath-holding ability brought by mastery-level breathing. Now with Ruanruan's help in swallowing the breath and star power fluctuations, I'm afraid that even a master of the third level of Sun, Moon and Star may not be able to feel Su Yuan's breath.

"This breath-holding effect alone is good for me, and as Ruanruan becomes stronger and the swallowing law becomes stronger, this breath-holding effect will definitely be stronger."

Su Yuan glanced at Ruanruan on his left hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then set off to return to the camp.
