Chapter 501

Su Xiao had seen the terrifying scene of Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy invading the brain; when fighting mages, Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy always went straight for the enemy's brain.

Strengthening the Intelligence attribute was to prepare for the current situation. If the Mana circuits in the brain weren't strong enough, it would be impossible to withstand this process.

The energy sphere became increasingly perfect, with over 60% constructed, and this energy sphere gradually generated a suction force.

There was a row of small holes on the energy sphere, the surface was covered with patterns, and it would rhythmically pulse with the beat of the heart.

Constructing 70%, 75%, 80%...

The entire construction process required intense concentration, and while constructing this energy sphere, something of his was constantly under impact, often making him feel dizzy for a moment.

The energy sphere was very unstable during construction and would impact the soul of the constructor, which was the reason most Shadows of the Law Destroyer failed.

Once the soul was shattered, it meant death; without the soul, only the skin remained.

After constructing over 95%, the impact of the energy sphere on the soul became increasingly intense, giving Su Xiao the feeling that it was about to leave his body at any moment.

He tried his best to ignore this feeling; his instinct told him he must perfectly construct this energy sphere, otherwise he would be dead for sure.

A few minutes later, the energy sphere was completely constructed. Before Su Xiao could even breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly discovered that the energy sphere was even more unstable.

Thump, thump, thump...

The rhythm of the energy became faster and faster, and in the end, it almost started to jump.

Boom!

The energy sphere burst, and Su Xiao thought to himself that it was over.

An unexpected situation occurred: the bursting of the energy sphere seemed to be a normal situation. After the energy sphere burst, it formed a large area of pale blue powder. After these powders drifted in his abdominal cavity for a while, they gradually adsorbed together.

Temporary destruction was for greater stability.

The pale blue powder constructed the energy sphere again, located near Su Xiao's heart. The energy sphere released a terrifying suction force, seemingly wanting to suck dry the surrounding energy.

The energy sphere absorbed crazily for a while, but didn't absorb any energy. The energy within Su Xiao's body was homologous to the energy sphere, so the energy sphere wouldn't absorb it.

Su Xiao looked up, and the sky above was a vast blue.

He slowly swam upward, and not long after, Su Xiao swam to the edge of the pool.

With a splash, Su Xiao poked his head out of the liquid Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy and crawled out of the pool.

"Looks like you succeeded."

Mavin Waltz looked at Su Xiao with a full face of smiles.

"Yeah."

Su Xiao sat on the edge of the pool, breathing in the fresh air in large gulps.

He had succeeded and obtained an auxiliary ability to become strong that was somewhat perverted.

Opening the skill list, the new ability appeared.

Skill 8

Devour Core: Lv. MAX (Active Skill)

Skill Effect: Can absorb high-level biological energy to nourish Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, and upgrade the level and quality of Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying according to the level and quality of the absorbed energy.

The effect of this skill could be called simple and crude: it was to absorb the energy of other creatures to enhance Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying, but it could only absorb high-level biological energy; energy in nature wouldn't work.

Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying was Su Xiao's core ability; whether it was true damage, burning the enemy's Mana, or causing intense pain to the enemy, they were all very practical abilities.

As for what high-level biological energy was, Su Xiao thought of it after a brief reflection.

Chakra, Nen, Reiatsu, Haki, etc., were all high-level biological energy.

As long as he could absorb these energies, the level of Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying could be improved, and it would be rapid growth.

Su Xiao thought of several creatures. If he could handle any one of those creatures, the Lv. 13 Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying might be able to directly upgrade to Lv. 20 or higher.

"How much of your Devour Core did you construct?"

Hearing Mavin Waltz's question, Su Xiao felt a bit surprised.

"Isn't it supposed to be constructed to 100%?"

Mavin Waltz's mouth twitched, looking a bit stunned.

"I didn't tell you that you could shatter the energy sphere after constructing over 70%?"

"Did you tell me?"

Su Xiao suddenly felt that Mavin Waltz wasn't very reliable. Last time, he hadn't told him that the formation of the Spirit Shadow Physique would be painful enough to make people faint.

"I didn't tell you?"

Mavin Waltz tried his best to recall. Because it had been too long since a new Shadow of the Law Destroyer had appeared, he seemed to have forgotten to say this point.

"That is to say... you constructed 100%, and that energy sphere didn't explode? Your soul actually wasn't shattered!"

"It exploded, and then I reconstructed it."

Mavin Waltz looked Su Xiao up and down, as if looking at an alien creature.

"Use your Devour Core."

Su Xiao spread his left hand, and pale blue smoke drifted on his palm. A terrifying suction force spread out, and his left hand seemed to have become a black hole.

"Stop!"

Mavin Waltz shouted.

"This kind of terrifying suction force can absorb the energy of other creatures just by touching them."

"Other Shadows of the Law Destroyer aren't like this?"

Under Mavin Waltz's negligence, Su Xiao had stumbled upon a very strong ability.

"99.9% of Shadows of the Law Destroyer aren't. If I want to absorb the energy of other creatures, I must first defeat the other party, and only after the other party has no ability to resist can I absorb it. Only the first-generation Shadow of the Law Destroyer had this kind of terrifying suction force like yours."

Su Xiao nodded, not showing any emotions like ecstasy. This ability was obtained by him at great risk, so obtaining it was a matter of course.

"Don't be happy too early. You'd better absorb the other party's energy after defeating other creatures. The refreshing feeling of absorbing other creatures' energy... you'll understand in the future."

Mavin Waltz waved his hand at Su Xiao.

"The power of space is here. See you next time, but that should be a long time from now."

A teleportation sensation appeared, and Mavin Waltz shouted.

"Stay clear when absorbing energy; don't become a Sword Demon. Becoming a Sword Demon is irreversible. Remember, don't become a Sword Demon; you'll regret it then. Don't become the next me; be a Shadow of the Law Destroyer. Sword Demons have no future."

Mavin Waltz's words echoed in his ears, and Su Xiao was teleported away.

Returning to the exclusive room, Su Xiao thought about Mavin Waltz's words.

What was a Sword Demon? Was it a risk that needed to be borne when absorbing energy? Or was it another path to become strong?

Listening to Mavin Waltz's tone, he seemed to be a Sword Demon, so it should be a branch of the Shadow of the Law Destroyer.

Su Xiao was secretly vigilant in his heart. Mavin Waltz shouldn't be lying to him; at least the other party had never shown malice.

The new ability was successfully obtained, but there was no opportunity to practice it for the time being.

High-level biological energy was hard to find, and Su Xiao could only confirm a few types.

He still had three Soul Crystals (Medium) in his hand. His previous idea was to use them to strengthen Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying, but now it seemed that doing so would be a waste. Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying had a better way to improve, and he needed to use resources reasonably.

Soul Crystals (Medium) should be used to strengthen Sword Art Master. Each level of Sword Art Master required 10 Soul Crystals (Medium). Now Sword Art Master was Lv. 21, and wanting to upgrade to Lv. 30 would consume a total of 90 Soul Crystals (Medium). Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Sword Art Master underwent a qualitative change every ten levels. After reaching Lv. 30, Su Xiao's strength would reach a new height.

Su Xiao estimated that if Sword Art Master reached Lv. 30, then he should have no problem fighting some Vice Admirals who mastered Haki in the Pirate World. No, perhaps he would be much stronger than a Vice Admiral, but a large gap weaker than an Admiral.

Su Xiao drew the Checking Zhan Long Shan at his waist. Checking Zhan Long Shan was now of purple quality, and it was starting to feel powerless when dealing with strong enemies; it needed to be improved.
