Chapter 113: Power leveling Part2

Ding. 10% Crystal Swan bloodline absorbed

Ding. 1% Chicken bloodline absorbed

Tang Yue swiped the illusionary tabs of notifications that promptly popped up in front of her.

For the past three days, the hardworking snake had been quite busy gobbling up one bird after another.

Even Little Blue started to become a bit wary of her, considering how much she was binge eating.

And with this one included, she had swallowed and digested about nine of the crystal swans in total.

One more to go and she will finally be done with assimilating this particular bloodline.

Tang Yue patiently popped in the last one and peered over her alchemy study material.

She had made a lot of progress in that area as well and was almost close to memorizing thoroughly all of the lesser herbs and ingredients.

Herbs in the land of Xion were divided into lesser herbs, spirit herbs, and divine herbs.

Each category had thousands of different herbs and on top of that, one also had to understand and learn their different properties and uses, along with the already known useful ratios in the form of pill and potion formulae.

Though Tang Yue was trying her best to study these things, it will be much easier for her to do so once she undergoes a cleansing of the mind and improves her mental strength.

An upgraded Martial tier mental strength enables a person to eidetically comprehend knowledge, making the life of alchemists and rune masters a lot easier.

This was partially one of the reasons why the Devil awakening pill was so popular. 

One can very easily become a Master alchemist or a Rune Master with the help of the Devil awakening pill.

But that said, using a Devil awakening pill was always a double-edged sword.

If one failed to withstand the devil’s pressure, they can easily lose their mental bearings and become gorked.

Tang Yue herself wouldn’t dare to try this pill if she didn’t have her special kiddie edition pill.

With her stomach busy as usual Tang Yue continued to study and the last series of notifications popped up as expected in a few hours.

By now her body and stomach were a well oiled machine digesting the food shoved in like clockwork.

Ding. 10% Crystal Swan bloodline absorbed

Ding. 5% Icy Trout bloodline absorbed

Ding. 2% Bald Snow Eagle bloodline absorbed

“Tsk. Tsk. I really have to watch out for some of these beasts. This damned system won’t even blink twice before making me completely bald.” Tang Yue hissed.

She then quickly closed her eyes and prepared herself for the incoming evolutionary changes.

A series of notifications chimed in and a warm glow surrounded her body.

Ding. 100% Crystal Swan bloodline absorbed

Ding. Bloodline Evolution has been initiated

Little Blue perked up and stared at the snake next to it in awe and amazement.

It could vaguely sense a superior being inside the blob of energy that Tang Yue was squirming in.

The bright glow lasted only for a few minutes and the evolution was finally complete.

Ding. Congratulations. Bloodline Evolution completed.

Ding. Congratulations. 500 Experience points have been rewarded.

Ding. Congratulations. New Skill obtained.

[Lesser Ice affinity] – Passive skill, Host is able to manipulate mana into low-grade ice.

Ding. Congratulations. Cold resistance has been upgraded.

Fu Fu Fu… Tang Yue excitedly grinned and did a small fist pump in the air, jumping up and down with happiness.

She had miraculously gained another powerful elemental affinity!

Beings born with multiple elemental affinities were deemed to be geniuses and were most often strong and powerful combat experts.

And now she was one of them!

“Yay!!” The snake excitedly clapped her hands and cupped her beaming face.

“Master, can I sign another elemental contract? I will prepare the runes now!” 

She immediately jumped out of the bed and started to prick her finger.

[Hello, dumb snake, wait a second. Before you go draining your blood, let me stop you right there.]

[Why sign a contract now?]

[Why not wait until you have all the other affinities also and sign a contract with all the elementals one after another?]

Huh?! Tang Yue’s eyes widened. That sounded like a good idea too! 

“He He He.” She excitedly licked her lips and nodded her head vigorously. 

“I am going to become so powerful and bitch slap everyone I don’t like starting with that arrogant hooligan. Hmph.” 

She beamed like a kid hopped up on candy.

But the next instant, the system’s old nasally voice sounded in her mind as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her head.

[And while you are at it, do make sure to picture yourself as an all powerful goddess with multiple elementals swirling around you?]

Tang Yue’s smile slightly dropped. She could sense that the system had a weird sarcastic tone in its voice.

[Looks good, right? It’s nice to have dreams! Keep day dreaming. Aha Ha Ha. Dumb little snake.]

“What the heck?” Tang Yue bit her lips and patiently asked. “Am I not able to sign another contract?”

[With your pitiful soul strength, it’s just a pipe dream, you dumb snake.]

“Huff. Ok. And damn it, stop calling me dumb.” Tang Yue flopped back on her bed, slightly disappointed.

The little pup came closer to her and licked her hands as if it understood her frustration, even though it probably did not.

The small gentle gesture immediately cheered her back up and put a smile on the snake’s face.

“Fu Fu Fu. So what if I have a bad soul strength, all I need to do is to quickly improve it.” 

Tang Yue flicked her palm and concentrated her mind to rotate her cultivation base.

She circulated her mana and calmly materialized a sparkling crystalline cube of ice.

The cube slowly widened and effortlessly morphed into a sharp spear with icy thorns protruding out.

“Wahh! This is amazing! If only I was not a pauper, I could have done this much sooner!”

She grinned in satisfaction and moved on to the next beast bloodline that she had selected for her evolution, the Repugnant Eversong Vine.

This was strictly not a beast but could be considered as one since the plant-like beast was carnivorous and only devoured meat. Its greed and hunger were almost akin to the mighty demonic beasts.

Tang Yue had selected this particular beast for her next bloodline because of its atypically high thirst for mana.

A young Repugnant Eversong Vine sapling only takes a few days to grow into an enormous full sized vine bundle.

Its strength was very weak and pathetic and it only relied on small insects and the atmospheric mana to support itself, but even still, the rate at which it assimilated mana in its core was nothing short of astounding.

It was almost double or even triple of whatever Tang Yue was passively absorbing right now, definitely a godly trait that she desperately needed at the moment.

Though she was not too sure if this godly trait could be copied, she decided to try anyway.

Her current pathetic rate of mana absorption was one of the main things holding her back and so she needed to improve it as soon as possible.

Tang Yue quickly busied herself and took out the neatly packaged bundles of the vine.

The thing looked extremely gross and was an amalgamation of beast like flesh inside plant like structural components.

And to make things worse its smell was terrifying.

It smelled worse than it looked!

Little Blue let out a few yelps and ran away instantly to play in the other parts of the mansion, the non smelly ones.

YUCK! 

Tang Yue as well shuddered holding the ugly thing in her hand but she had no other choice except to quickly gulp it down in entirety.

She knew too well to not taste and savor these random things.

All for the sake of power! Tang Yue cringed and tossed in a few more stem, leaves and root like structures with juicy meaty insides.

She then closed her emerald eyes and coiled her long thin body tightly to increase the digestive juices. Damn it!

While the snake was silently suffering, Tang Yue’s most recent fan decided to make himself busy and walked in long strides on his majestic mount towards the royal palace.

A couple of days back, Marvin had been patiently waiting in his chamber. 

He had set in motion phase one of his plans and he was eagerly awaiting to hear about how Tang Yue had felt devastated and shattered.

Who wouldn’t? Getting publicly expelled and blacklisted was a humiliating and shameful punishment.

And Marvin was not quite done. 

This was just the first step. He had in fact prepared several gifts for Tang Yue in order to return the two slaps she had given him.

But ruining his victorious mood, his palace aide had rushed back to him after observing and reported something that he had not expected.
