Chapter 204: Exiled? Part2
Tang Yue hurriedly flicked her hand and cast the flame serpent spell to see just exactly how much she had grown and in the next instant, a gigantic flame python roared alive in her chamber.
The python’s glowing eyes glared at Tang Yue as if the ferocious beast was dancing alive in front of her.
Tang Yue felt her throat dry up. She could feel the difference in her capabilities.
It had taken her merely a fraction of a second to cast a full-blown flame serpent spell.
But how the hell is this possible?
She covered her mouth which was wide agape with her fingers and gasped inwardly.
The black orbs from the azure lake were rather small and insignificant. She didn’t sense any energy ripple from it or anything of that sort.
How the hell was it possible for her to have crossed two realms in just a couple of days from only by absorbing the souls from those orbs?
Just how powerful was this damned inheritance if she who got the scraps had gained so much?!!
Fuck. She had no idea what was going on.
Tang Yue paced back and forth in her chamber as a faint possibility surfaced in her brain.
What if all the undead beasts in the labyrinth were powered by these tiny black orbs?
She shook her head at that terrifying possibility and decided to let it be for now.
All that mattered was her current soul strength and she was more than satisfied with this growth.
She might not have attained the inheritance from the labyrinth, but she couldn’t help but feel as if this in itself was an overpowered reward.
As the snake tried to cast a few spells and get used to her new excessive soul strength, she suddenly remembered the other significant thing from those upgrade notifications.
Fuccckkk! Tang Yue screamed inwardly and she hurriedly opened her status screen.
______________
Name: Tang Yue
Level 12 (1000/819,200)
Species: Nether touched serpent
Grade: Spirit beast
______________
The snake’s emerald eyes were fixated and glued to the first part of her status screen. She blinked innocently and looked at it again and again.
She had already crossed Level10!!!
In fact, she was unexpectedly at Level 12 even!!!
Tang Yue rubbed her eyes and smiled bitterly. Just what the hell is happening?
And not just that, she could also see that she was no longer simply a blue venomous serpent.
She was now a nether touched serpent!
What the hell was a nether touched serpent?
Since she was a cripple in her childhood, Tang Yue didn’t have much to do with her life.
She was also actively searching for her mother and refused to believe that her mother had abandoned her for so reason.
So back then she had spent almost all her time researching the background and history records of her clan.
And she had never once come across any species called the Nether-touched Serpents!
All the serpentine clan members belonged to the blue venomous serpent species.
After thinking about it for a while, she could only helplessly ask the one person who could give some sort of answer to her.
“Master, who are these Nether-touched serpents? Are they also spirit beasts?”
[Heh, Little snake. You gulped down so many souls and you still don’t understand?]
[They are your ancestors only. But they were eradicated a long time ago.] The old man vaguely answered.
Tang Yue intently listened to the half-baked explanation and nodded her head, but a small thought popped up and her breathing became erratic.
“Master.. Master… Does this mean that my soul is contaminated?” She hurriedly asked.
[Eh? No. Nothing like that. If anything, your soul has become very strong.]
[By the way, I think you haven’t noticed it yet, but I went ahead and absorbed some of those disintegrated souls for myself.]
[Cough… Cough… Just to help you.] The old man casually added.
“Huh?” Tang Yue blinked. He can do that?
She already hated that the old man held so much power over her, but now he even dared to absorb her free goodies?!
Just with whatever he had left her, she was already at Demi-God realm, Tang Yue’s eyes turned into stars as she imagined just how high her level would have been boosted if she had absorbed the whole thing.
This was simply unacceptable!!!
But the old man sensed her mood and quickly chimed in.
[Before you say something you regret, you should know that your body would have completely disintegrated and shattered by I had let you absorb the whole thing.]
[So you should be thankful to me, dumb little snake.]
“Hmph.” Tang Yue begrudgingly snorted.
This conniving bastard might be telling her the truth but she didn’t dare believe him completely.
“So I do get anything in return?” She asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest and tapping her fingers on her elbow.
[Is saving your life not enough?] The old man chuckled heartily as if he found what she said to be extremely funny.
[Okay. Okay. No need to act like a scorned woman. I changed the settings of the Lucky Sticker.]
[You no longer have to lose half your soul strength to activate it.]
[You only need a fraction of a realm.]
[For instance, if you use a lucky sticker currently, your soul strength will become Bronze-tier Demi-God Soul, rather than Silver-tier Demi-God soul.]
“Hmm… I guess that’s very helpful.” Tang Yue mumbled, but she immediately fumed realizing that she has been scammed once again.
“Wait a minute, the strength gap between stages in Demi-God realm is not at all comparable to the lower realm soul grades.”
“Isn’t this still an overwhelming amount of soul strength for activating just one Lucky Sticker?”
“You are not losing out at all!!!” Her liver hurt and she cried, but the old man remained mum.
“How about you at least give me that sword art you promised?”
“I still can’t get a hold of Marvin and I really want to train in swordplay.” Tang Yue sighed and asked bitterly.
But the system heartlessly chimed back.
[Dream on, dumb little snake.]
“Can you at least stop calling me dumb?”
[….]
