Chapter 385: Chakra Fruit

On Faisa Star, in an incomparably desolate city.

Bei Xiu was staring blankly at the ruined satellite in the firmament.

'Is this the Fourth Energy Level? Why is it not quite like what I imagined?'

As an elite of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bei Xiu had seen Fourth Energy Level beings before, but this was his first time seeing a Fourth Energy Level like Octavio.

Yet even such an existence had lost to that planetary Viceroy.

If Bei Xiu had to evaluate it, it would be like accidentally encountering a cosmic monster and being unable to defeat it even after giving his all.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

'Could he really be a big shot from the Central Star Region?'

Recalling how the other party had dragged a starship back to Faisa Star not long ago, Bei Xiu couldn't help but scratch his head.

'So, should I continue waiting or do something? Give me a hint.'

Just as Bei Xiu was racking his brain over what to do next, his eyes suddenly became dull.

Then, after a long while, he returned to normal.

At this moment, a strange expression appeared on Bei Xiu's plain face as he cautiously said in his heart: "Hello?"

He said this sentence in the Federal language and the Imperial language respectively.

After a brief silence, a voice mixed with weakness and ferocity rang out in his heart: ". hut up! If you dare to speak of my existence, I will kill you!"

It was the Imperial language.

Hearing this voice, Bei Xiu was pleasantly surprised rather than frightened.

Good, good, good. So that's where it was waiting for him. He had wondered why his talent kept telling him that staying on Faisa Star was the best choice.

Although he was overjoyed, Bei Xiu did not show it; instead, he feigned a look of panic: "My lord, spare me! I was also dragged here by that devil!"

Sorry, Viceroy Li Ang, for the sake of the mission, I have to let you take the blame for now. After it's done, I'll bring you a few photo albums of the Imperial Empress.

Thinking this, Bei Xiu immediately began to bluff.

As an elite of the Bureau who was about to infiltrate the Empire, he might not be strong in combat, but when it came to eating, drinking, and crooked ways, he was proficient in everything.

……

Half a month passed just like that.

During this time, Li Ang very politely sent away the heads of the large enterprises that had been stranded on Faisa Star.

The reason was simple: the Divine Tree was about to bear fruit.

At such a critical moment, he naturally could not allow strangers to linger.

As for Bei Xiu, he had found an excuse a few days ago to leave on one of those large enterprises' starships.

Li Ang could vaguely sense the slight abnormality in the other party's behavior, but he couldn't be bothered to investigate. After all, when they first met, this Bureau agent had already been acting strange.

'A weird guy.'

Shaking his head slightly to cast the thought aside, Li Ang looked at the flower bud gradually blooming at the top of the Divine Tree.

It had to be said that this Divine Tree was very different from the one in his body, likely because it hadn't been fed the Otsutsuki clan.

Fortunately, it still produced a Chakra Fruit in the end, even if it wasn't perfect.

Li Ang was now curious about what ability this Chakra Fruit would awaken for him.

After all, whether it was the Rinnegan or the Tenseigan, what he used were either their inherent abilities or Kaguya's abilities.

Of course, it was also possible that it wouldn't awaken any ability, only increase his stats.

After all, when it came down to it, this Chakra Fruit wasn't perfect enough.

Li Ang even felt the latter possibility was more likely; otherwise, the 【Star Shepherd】 career information wouldn't have specifically pointed out that exclusive divine arts would only be obtained after the job change was completed.

Just as he was thinking this, a terrifying energy fluctuation suddenly swept across the earth.

The Chakra Fruit had manifested.

At this moment, the flower bud at the top of the Divine Tree had fully bloomed, revealing a pale purple fruit.

This was the first time Li Ang had seen what a Chakra Fruit looked like.

Unlike the gaudy appearance of Devil Fruits, the Chakra Fruit appeared very plain, provided one ignored the terrifying aura it emitted.

'It shouldn't taste too bad, right.'

With a somewhat strange thought, Li Ang gently plucked it from the top of the Divine Tree.

Looking at the pale purple fruit in his hand, which was larger than his head, Li Ang was in a bit of a dilemma.

'This should take effect without needing to be eaten, right?'

In Li Ang's perception, the Chakra Fruit was entirely a massive aggregate of energy.

Of course, saying it like that wasn't accurate enough; after all, a mere aggregate of energy couldn't awaken things like the Rinnegan.

After a moment of thought, Li Ang directly absorbed the energy within the Chakra Fruit; after all, a fruit of this size was a bit too much to ask him to eat directly.

Boom——!!

The next moment, blue-red chakra shot straight into the sky, then began to spread outward in circles.

In the span of a breath, the clouds for thousands of miles around were blown away by this terrifying energy that pulsed like a heartbeat.

His hair danced in the gale, and the energy within Li Ang's body began to climb rapidly.

【Consuming Chakra Fruit, Basic Energy Attribute +259】.

【Consuming Chakra Fruit, Basic Energy Attribute +384】.

As he continuously absorbed the energy contained in the Chakra Fruit, the information on his career panel began to scroll frantically.

At the same time, the volume of the Chakra Fruit began to shrink continuously, until it finally turned into a pale purple fruit the size of a hand.

Looking at the appropriately sized fruit in his hand, Li Ang curled his lips slightly, then swallowed it in one bite. Immediately after, the information he wanted to see popped up on the panel.

【Successfully devoured an imperfect Chakra Fruit, Basic Energy Attribute +18461】.

【Current Energy Attribute: 47854. 】.

【2. Devour a Divine Tree fruit produced by a planet (standard planetary scale or above) (√)】.

At this very moment, feeling the massive energy within his body, Li Ang couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, but in the end, he forcibly suppressed the urge.

Unlike the Six Paths Mode, the energy attribute increased by the Chakra Fruit was power that truly belonged to him, the kind with absolutely no hidden worries, and it could even receive the multiplier bonuses brought by his specialties.

This was why Li Ang's energy attribute had soared directly to 47854. .

If the Six Paths Mode bonus were added, his energy attribute would reach a truly terrifying 【69215. 】.

The only thing he found a pity was that the energy attribute in this state could not complete the third job change condition for 【Star Shepherd】; clearly, it required Li Ang's own attribute to break through the 50, 00 mark.

Fortunately, he wasn't far from this value now, and even without eating another Chakra Fruit, he could achieve this goal by increasing his career level.

'With my current self, I should be able to put up a fight against a Fifth Energy Level professional who has just advanced.'

Thinking this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Li Ang's face.

This was him being modest; the reality would only be known after a fight, but it was highly likely that a Fifth Energy Level professional who had just advanced would be brutally crushed by him.

Moreover, with his current strength, he was more than enough to completely suppress Kaguya.

In that case, by the time he planted the tree next time, he should be able to eat a perfect Chakra Fruit.

Besides that, it was as Li Ang had guessed: an imperfect Chakra Fruit ultimately couldn't awaken divine arts.

Fortunately, the nutrients this time were all trashy star bandits, so he didn't feel any heartache.

However, although no divine art was awakened, Li Ang still raised the confidentiality of the Chakra Fruit to the highest level; anyone who wanted to probe for information on this fruit had to die.

The reason was simple.

【Basic Energy Attribute +18461】.

Chakra Fruit...

It could break a creature's original racial value.
