Chapter 247: Elemental Resonance

"Again."

Another fifty points of 【Growth Spirit】 consumed.

Though intelligent races require ten points per enhancement, they have no limit on the number of uses.

Even if you roll duplicate skills, no worry—just strengthen them directly on the base, no waste.

Items like 【Sacrificial Body Blade】 and 【Guardian's Veil】, though requiring fewer enhancement points, have hard caps.

【Guardian's Veil】 has a maximum of only ten enhancements; after ten skills, not many remain usable.

【Sacrificial Body Blade】 is slightly better, with a cap of fifteen enhancements, and most effects are quite strong.

Both have now reached their enhancement limits.

【Tremor Blade】 clearly has a much higher cap—currently at seventeen enhancements, still below the limit.

But the problem is, they're all mundane skills.

Luo De decided to visit the market district of the Magic Control League to check anonymous stall prices.

He'd also take the chance to search thoroughly for decent gear.

Though the odds were slim—he'd visited several times before and hadn't even seen anyone selling weapons for Spirit Warriors.

Luo De shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He turned his attention to the Black Slime's enhancement status:

【Multiple Transformation】【Morph Stabilization】【Social Anxiety】【Gravitational Wave】【Healing Fluid】

Hmm.

Also quite decent skills—except for Social Anxiety.

Among them, even 【Gravitational Wave】 had rolled—a gravity spell capable of pulling enemies or objects toward it.

But wait.

Luo De recalled something.

I remember, in the native Spirit Arts of existing continent life, a gravity-based ability is absolutely impossible to be absent.

Then this unusually active Black Slime—

Could you possibly be from another dimension?

Quite the noble origin.

If that's the case, calling you "Black Slime" every day won't do.

It's time to give you a name.

Hmm. Black… hmm, Slime.

Perfect! From now on, I'll call you He Shi E—wait, that sounds ambiguous.

"Then call you Xiao Hei. Can't very well call you Black Silk."

"Master wants to see black stockings~~?"

Tally was trying to plant a hickey on her master's neck.

Hearing the words, she immediately lifted her head with a soft pop, misjudging her motion—saliva dripped to the corner of her mouth.

"Ignore me. Keep going."

I knew you liked me kissing you~~it feels good for you, right? Tally sister's going to kiss again~~

She leaned in again.

"Don't make such lewd wet sounds—you'll wake up Vivian."

Luo De glanced at his remaining 【Growth Spirit】: 242 points.

Without hesitation, he continued investing.

Then—

A key skill appeared, instantly catching his eye—【Gender Recognition】.

【Slime Binding】【Gender Recognition】【Absorb Assault】【Corrosion Domain】【Time Rewind】

What the hell??

Besides that, 【Corrosion Domain】 and 【Time Rewind】 are also pretty strong!

【Corrosion Domain: Partial authority of the "Corrosion" domain; Slime's skill "Corrosive Slime" greatly enhanced.】

【Time Rewind: Slime can revert to its state ten seconds prior—only applies to itself.】

【Gender Recognition: Slime will recognize its own gender, causing minor bodily changes. Note: Once determined, it cannot be changed.】

【Notice!】

【Slime's Gender Recognition is about to begin!】

No time to read other skill messages.

Luo De flung Xiao Hei straight onto Tally's ample chest.

Pachi.

The Slime splattered into a blob, enveloping one of Tally's white mounds.

"Aiyaa~~ What are you doing, Master~?"

【Gender Recognition Complete: Recognized as Female!】

Perfect!

Luo De gave Tally a hard kiss on the forehead, then pried Xiao Hei off her chest.

Immediately cast the Domination Spell.

【Domination Spell Successful】

【Domination Target 11: Xiao Hei】

【Race: Slime (Special Type)】

【Age: 0 years, 2 months】

【Obedience: 13】

【Details: Slime composed of special black fluid metal; intellect unawakened. You're weird—normal people wouldn't think of enslaving a Slime.】

Obedience only 13?

Is it because its intellect is unawakened?

Luo De shook his head.

Doesn't matter—in fact, unawakened intellect is better; no guilt when squeezing every drop out of it.

Besides, raising Xiao Hei was always meant for Elemental Resonance.

Luo De had no intention of using 【Exchange Spirit Arts with Black Slime—Version 8】.

Not yet.

Wow!

Not bad at all!

A new skill: 【Attachment Freak】.

Enjoy the ultimate experience!

But Luo De was a man who could conquer a Succubus—this little stimulation wasn't enough.

He took Tally's hand.

Bo—

Tally glared at her skin, which had reddened slightly before fading quickly.

"Stop it."

"I'm not playing—I'm feeling it~"

"This is serious business. I'll give you some later, okay?"

"Hmph!"

She was dissatisfied.

Luo De didn't idle—he began practicing 【Elbert's Secret Manual of Pleasure】.

【Elbert's Secret Manual of Pleasure】 was effective.

But the speed was slow.

Luo De spent nearly all three days inside the Forest Warden's cabin, barely managing one Elemental Resonance.

And gained two decent buffs:

【Underwater Breathing】【Wave-Powered Strength】.

The former speaks for itself; the latter significantly boosted Luo De's strength.

Much of this was thanks to Tally.

Without her nearly twenty-four-hour labor, Luo De might never have completed one Elemental Resonance in three days!

To maximize 【Elbert's Secret Manual of Pleasure】, Luo De channeled most of his essence into Xiao Hei.

As a result, Tally had only scraps left over these past three days.

And now—

She was already complaining and staging a strike.

Refused outright to do it again.

Luo De wanted to continue.

But Xiao Hei couldn't take it anymore.

She was like a lump of lifeless jelly, completely limp and unable to stir.

She occasionally spat out white qi, as if dazed and foggy.

Each one of them is truly useless.

Luo De quickly fed Tally five bursts of qi to comfort her.

He didn't expect this thing to still dare complain, saying the emotional connection wasn't enough and it wasn't as tasty as before.

She rolled around whining, demanding a sensual session filled with love, insisting her master kiss her ears while whispering "I love you."

Seeing how hard she'd worked these past days, Luo De could only promise to return that night.

Left the forest ranger's cabin.

Familiar trees came into view, birdcalls swirling above his head.

Luo De took a deep breath of the long-missed fresh outdoor air.

After days indoors, the weather had grown even colder.

A gust of wind swept past, carrying a curtain of falling leaves before his eyes.

"Let's go to the Magic Control League today."
