Chapter 401: Chapter 319: Ruan Ruan Evolves Chapter 401: Chapter 319: Ruan Ruan Evolves Ruan Ruan was the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, yet for some unknown reason, she was reborn as a weak Slime.
Her talent was extremely poor, with her Star Power barely at C level, and very weak combat strength.
However, as the Shining Star Level was a significant stage in the growth of a Star Beast, Su Yuan could vaguely foresee that this would surely be a turning point for Ruan Ruan.
Not to mention, the Devouring Law, as the Ultimate Law, in addition to aiding in cultivation, could very likely provide a way for Ruan Ruan to rise from being weak to strong.
Therefore, Su Yuan planned to wait until Ruan Ruan also broke through to the Shining Star Level before heading to the Ancient Forbidden Zone to hunt Star Beasts.
Fourth-level Beast Taming Space plus Devouring Law plus sufficient Star Stones…
This process shouldn’t take too long!
“Additionally, there’s also the matter of Ruan Ruan cultivating through dreams, which requires obtaining the Star Core of ‘Yesterday Reappears’ from the military treasury.”
Thinking of this, Su Yuan flipped his hand and took out a talisman, which was left by Hou Wu earlier.
Hou Wu had said that if he broke through to the Shining Star Level, he should use this talisman to contact him.
This talisman had usage conditions. If one’s Star Power hadn’t reached the Shining Star Level, it couldn’t even be activated.
“Sky Patrol Department, Vermilion Bird Imperial…”
After a slight hesitation, Su Yuan put the talisman away again.
Since he still had things to do, joining the Sky Patrol Department could be postponed.
Otherwise, if tasks from the department came in at any time, he wouldn’t have time to hunt Stardust…
At this moment, his phone rang. It was a message from Yang Yifeng.
After glancing at it, Su Yuan got up and headed to the office building…
Demon Capital Academy, Dean’s Office.
Yang Yifeng walked in with Su Yuan.
“Dean.”
“Dean Cai.”
Yang Yifeng and Su Yuan greeted.
“You’re here? Sit, sit, please sit!”
Cai Qinglong was very pleased to see them and immediately stood up to take out a box of tea leaves from a drawer.
“Let me make you some good tea, Dragon Silver Tea which I’ve treasured since last year! Even the dean of Bauhinia Academy in Qiguang Country didn’t get any when he visited last time!”
Yang Yifeng quickly took the tea leaves from Cai Qinglong: “Dean, let me do it!”
There was no reason for the dean to serve them tea personally.
Su Yuan also stood by.
Neither of them sat, so he couldn’t sit down casually.
After a while, Yang Yifeng finished brewing the tea.
The room was filled with the fragrance of tea, and the few of them sat down.
“Excellent! It’s true that heroes come from the younger generation. Demon Capital Academy has gained a brilliant talent!”
Cai Qinglong looked up and down at Su Yuan, both astonished and elated.
Su Yuan respectfully said: “Without the support of the dean and the academy, I couldn’t have reached the Shining Star Level today.”
Su Yuan understood that Demon Capital Academy not only provided him with an excellent cultivation environment but also gave him many opportunities and help.
Including the teaching of the Breathing Method, Demon City Holy Spring, South Sea Trial, Void Splitting Monument Hand, and the Void.
These things, many of which couldn’t be obtained from outside, and even if they could, it was hard to get them at the most suitable time.
Cai Qinglong also guided Su Yuan on some aspects of cultivation after reaching the Shining Star Level.
As the dean of Demon Capital Academy and a King Level expert himself, Cai Qinglong’s insights on Day, Moon, and Star Levels of cultivation were second to none.
The reason Yang Yifeng brought Su Yuan over was both to pay respects to the dean after breaking through and to get guidance and advice from this education expert.
“Dean Cai, are you saying that after reaching the Shining Star Level, in addition to cultivating the realm, one should also meditate, communicating with the Soul Card to promote its growth?”
Cai Qinglong nodded: “Precisely. After the Shining Star Level, the Soul Card and realm are separate, belonging to two different systems of ‘Soul Power’ and ‘Star Power.’
Cultivating Star Power is to improve the realm, while meditation enhances Soul Power.
However, the improvement of Soul Power is not achieved overnight, and its effect isn’t significant until it undergoes a qualitative change.
Hence many people focus only on the tangible realm improvement, ignoring meditation, which seems ineffective.
But remember, the cultivation of Star Power and Soul Power should progress hand in hand.”
Having just entered the Shining Star Level, Su Yuan didn’t have a strong concept of this yet. But since it was the dean’s advice, he would follow it.
He didn’t have to practice breathing, so he had more time than others, allowing him to spend more time meditating.
Yang Yifeng added: “Additionally, different Star Card Masters have different Soul Cards, and consequently different Soul Powers. The usage and development of Soul Power are up to you. You can communicate with your Soul Card more.”
Su Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
The conversation gradually shifted from cultivation.
Finally, Cai Qinglong asked: “Now that you’ve broken through to the Shining Star Level, you can be considered to have graduated early. What are your plans for the future?”
Su Yuan replied: “I have received an invitation from the Sky Patrol Department.”
There was no need to hide the matter of the Sky Patrol Department from Cai Qinglong.
Hearing this, Cai Qinglong smiled happily: “The Sky Patrol Department is indeed a good place. From now on, you will truly be a pillar of our Great Flame!”
The existence of the academy was to provide a steady stream of talent for Great Flame.
As an academy dean, nothing was more gratifying than seeing his brilliant students join the nation’s strongest military agency.
“You’re too kind,” Su Yuan replied politely and then curiously asked, “By the way, Dean, where did Senior Brother Qi Tian go after graduation?”
Cai Qinglong stroked his beard: “Qi Tian? That kid is fearless and said he wanted to travel the world. After leaving the academy, he went out to train and explore early on. Now, I don’t know where exactly he is.”
“I see…” Su Yuan nodded.
In fact, this was the choice of many Star Card Masters.
When they lacked strength, they couldn’t go far. But once they had enough strength, it was normal to want to go out to train.
The world was vast, and Great Flame was just a corner in the south.
And this was only on the East Continent. Beyond the East Continent, there were several other continents!
However, the sea had Star Sand blowing over it. Until the Burning Sun, it was best not to think about other continents…
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, another two weeks went by.
Su Yuan had stayed in his dormitory, cultivating non-stop.
While waiting for Ruan Ruan to rebuild her Star Power and break through, Su Yuan also consolidated his Shining Star Level realm and familiarized himself with his current vastly improved strength in the Qingming Realm.
“Judging by Ruan Ruan’s cultivation speed, it should be within these few days…” On the open-air balcony of the cultivation room, Su Yuan estimated silently.
Just thinking about the Star Stones Ruan Ruan consumed over these few days made Su Yuan feel a bit of pain.
The hundreds of thousands of Star Stones he had were now reduced to just over twenty thousand!
Speaking of the Slime’s racial advantage, maybe it’s that their body could contain a large amount of Star Power?
But Ruan Ruan’s amount was more than just large… It was even higher than his own Star Power at the same stage, which was simply amazing!
He himself had full score Star Power Talent plus the Master Level Breathing Method’s Star Spring as support.
Ruan Ruan’s large Star Power amount was a good thing.
Just that reconstructing the Star Power required more Star Stones, and the cost of “In-app purchases” to become stronger was indeed a little painful…
Fortunately, two days ago Ruan Ruan had already reconstructed her Star Power once. Now she was adjusting to break through.
While Su Yuan was thinking, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the Guardian Beast Space. The fluctuation grew stronger, filling the entire space.
“It’s starting!”
Su Yuan’s expression became serious. He immediately closed his eyes and focused his mind on the Guardian Beast Space.
The golden patterns on Ruan Ruan’s body became extremely bright. Water light and tides surged around her, with a large black vortex spreading from her center.
Gradually, the black vortex grew more powerful. From a distance, Ruan Ruan looked like a rotating abyssal black hole.
Time passed. In the end, the blue water light and black vortex converged into a blue egg that covered Ruan Ruan.
The egg had mysterious golden marks and black vortex patterns.
Waves of breathing-like fluctuations continuously emanated from the egg, each wave seemingly stronger than the last, as if something was being nurtured within…
As Ruan Ruan reached a critical point in her breakthrough, Su Yuan set aside his other concerns and closely watched the Guardian Beast Space.
Time passed, and over three hours went by.
This process was much slower than Su Yuan’s own breakthrough!
But Su Yuan remained motionless, always keeping a close eye.
Finally, after four hours, the golden marks on the egg suddenly brightened. The blue “eggshell” gradually cracked along the black patterns.
At the same time, a deep, high-level, yet familiar aura emanated from within.
“It’s a breakthrough!”
Joy filled Su Yuan’s heart, and he eagerly awaited Ruan Ruan’s transformation, wondering what the Slime would evolve into.
Soon, the “eggshell” completely shattered from top to bottom, revealing a Slime almost identical to before.
The answer was, after evolution, she was still a Slime…
Of course, there were some differences.
The golden patterns on the evolved Ruan Ruan disappeared, replaced by deep, complex black patterns. Her golden eyes remained, becoming even brighter.
Su Yuan was initially stunned and then laughed quietly to himself: “Staying the same is good, no need for unnecessary flamboyance.”
Shortly, Ruan Ruan completed her breakthrough and jumped up excitedly!
“Pfft!”
With this jump, Ruan Ruan disappeared from the Guardian Beast Space and the next moment, landed in Su Yuan’s arms outside.
Su Yuan was happy for Ruan Ruan’s success and focused his mind to reopen his eyes.
What he saw made Su Yuan pause slightly.
Before him was a vision of stunning indigo blue hair and fair, delicate skin.
The figure in his arms was no longer the Slime Ruan Ruan but a girl with long blue hair.
Instantly, Su Yuan understood the situation.
Transformation!
“Master!”
Ruan Ruan clung to Su Yuan, her eyes sparkling, the gold pattern-filled eyes full of excitement!
Maintaining his composure, Su Yuan retrieved a black robe from his ring and quickly draped it over her.
With his height of over 1.7 meters, the robe completely covered Ruan Ruan’s body.
“Master, Master!”
Ruan Ruan, still exhilarated, couldn’t stop nuzzling against Su Yuan.
“Sit properly!” Su Yuan pressed her to sit in front of him and seriously advised, “Ruan Ruan, you are now a strong Shining Star Level Demon Beast. You have to be mature!”
Ruan Ruan listened attentively.
Just when Su Yuan thought she understood, she excitedly pounced again.
“Master, Master!”
Su Yuan waved his hand, and a black ripple sent her back to the Qingming Realm.
“Calm down first…”
Su Yuan rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling a bit of a headache.
