Chapter 246 Devouring 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 the slime 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 element elf in the ruins of Haicheng.

Su Yuan threw the star core at 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 and scratched 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 slimes are different. They can now 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 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 Pearl 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 prop. It is more difficult to extract the energy from it than from the star stone or even the star core.

"This bead was prepared by the Demon Emperor after he was resurrected. In addition to providing pure energy to restore part of his strength, the mark on it is probably the more important thing..."

Countless years have passed, and even if the Demon King is successfully resurrected, it will be difficult for him to regain his full strength at once.

This can be seen from the ruins of Haicheng that chose to build the Resurrection Land into a gold-level secret realm. Most of them are from gold to shining stars.

The ten Origin Beads were what he prepared for his "weak period" after his resurrection.

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

Ordinary people and star beasts cannot use this source bead, but through the devouring law preserved through reincarnation, slimes should be able to absorb it...

At this time, as Su Yuan took out the Origin Bead, Slime immediately felt some kind of pull and looked over.

"Pfft (want)!"

Su Yuan thought for a moment and threw the Origin Pearl to it.

Now that the beast control contract has been completed, the slime's life and death are all determined by his own thoughts, and he is not afraid that there is something in the source pearl that is detrimental to him.

The slime caught the origin 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 exerting much effort.

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

Su Yuan felt it for a moment: "At this rate, it may take some time to completely swallow it."

Exactly what can be obtained from the mark of this bead can only be known after it is devoured.

Putting this matter aside, Su Yuan leaned down and looked at the slime and said: "You are now my beast master, so let's give you a name."

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing the name, Slime, who was savoring the Origin Bead, suddenly became excited and looked up at Su Yuan expectantly.

Su Yuan kneaded the slime and it felt good: "Well... let's call it soft."

"grumble???"

Slime didn't expect Su Yuan to be so casual, and his golden eyes widened in shock.

"Jiji!"

Slime felt a strong reluctance.

It’s not that it sounds nice or not, it’s just that the name seems weak!

"Okay, that's it." Su Yuan made a decision directly, and then squeezed the slime hard, "It's soft and worthy of its name."

Of course the name should be simple and easy to remember.

A name like "Shi Aotian" that was so domineering and full of middle-class aura just flashed across Su Yuan's mind. Thinking about it, the immature slime would definitely like it very much.

But when it grows up and becomes mature, it may not even have the face to say its own name when dealing with others...

"Pfft..." The protest was ineffective, and Slime could only accept it dejectedly.

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

And not only the name has been updated, but the power of the Devouring Law has also been refined:

[Beast Control: Ruanruan (Emperor Level Reincarnator)]

[Rule: Devour (breath gathering, energy devouring, plundering)]

…

"Concentrating breath, absorbing energy, and plundering should correspond to the three abilities currently possessed by Ruanruan.

In addition, after the breakthrough, the system seems to have become more intelligent..."

A flash of surprise flashed in Su Yuan's eyes. In the past, unless a clear instruction was issued or a predetermined condition was triggered, the system would not make any movement.

But now, it is possible to update some information independently according to the master's wishes.

However, after Su Yuan tried it, he found that it was nothing more than that. Although it was a little smarter, it did not have any new functions.

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

Su Yuan gathered his thoughts and said softly to the slime: "Why don't you go back to the beast control space first?"

"Pfft, can you not go back?" The beast control space is too boring, and Ruanruan seems to not want to go back.

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

Ruanruan said excitedly: "Puch (good)!"

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

Su Yuan himself has a powerful ability to gather breath due to mastery-level breathing, and now with Ruanruan assisting in swallowing up breath and star power fluctuations, even masters at the third level of Sun, Moon and Star may not be able to feel Su Yuan's breath. .

"The breath-containing effect alone is pretty good for me. As the softness becomes stronger and the Devouring Law becomes stronger, the breath-containing effect will definitely become stronger."

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