Chapter 232 - 105: Soul Pearl Plan, Max Level

"...Thanks, but I think I’ll pass." Liu Mei refused, shaking her head vigorously.

Improving her Spiritual Power was a nice idea, but the method was simply too bizarre. She found it a little hard to stomach.

"You’re missing out on a golden opportunity, then."

Chen Yu swallowed the green flame in one gulp, a look of bliss once again appearing on his face.

Liu Mei was speechless.

’Could it really feel that good?’

Seeing the comfortable expression on Chen Yu’s face, Liu Mei was stunned.

But that method... She still couldn’t accept it.

His Spirit Flame flickered. After swallowing several in a row, the Spirit Flame in his mind had nearly doubled in size.

He released his grip. The Undead Skeleton roared again, "Lowlife!"

Green flames danced in its eye sockets as another Flame Attack shot toward Chen Yu.

As expected, Chen Yu used his Force Field to restrain it, swallowing the green flame to enhance his own Spirit Flame.

Liu Mei just watched from the side.

Chen Yu would release his grip, the Undead Skeleton would attack, and then it would be suppressed again.

The scene grew rather bizarre.

After this repeated several more times, the Undead Skeleton lay on the ground. Within its hollow eye sockets, the raging green fire had been reduced to a tiny spark, one that looked like it could be extinguished at any moment.

"Low... lowlife! The Great Emperor... will... will make you... wish you were dead!"

The Undead Skeleton’s voice stuttered. After it spoke, the tiny spark in its hollow eye sockets was completely extinguished.

"It’s dead already? A pity. I was just a little short," Chen Yu sighed.

After completely absorbing the Undead Skeleton’s flames, his Spirit Flame had grown from a small spark to a fist-sized ball.

His Spiritual Power had increased dramatically!

The stronger the Spirit Flame, the stronger the Spiritual Power, and the faster his strength would improve.

Compared to normal cultivation, this "fill-up" style of enhancement was practically a cheat!

With his current Spirit Flame, the Mental Suppression of a Ninth-level Martial Artist would have almost no effect on him.

He could also unleash even more astonishing power in battle.

’Ten thousand... Hmm, that’s not a small amount,’ Chen Yu noted the increase in his Source of Life.

It had increased by ten thousand!

Compared to his hundreds of millions of Source of Life, ten thousand was almost no change at all. Still, gaining an extra ten thousand points was nice.

This Undead Skeleton yielded more than the average fourth-level variant beast.

Liu Mei looked at the motionless Undead Skeleton, then back at Chen Yu, her stomach churning.

’I used to think Chen Yu was an upright man, but now... hmm, he’s still ’upright’! Just... upright to the point of being sinister!’

Absorbing the Undead Skeleton’s attacks to enhance his own Spiritual Power—this method was truly unbelievable.

The Undead Creatures looked evil, but compared to Chen Yu, Liu Mei felt it was like a novice meeting a master.

She had seen many things in her cultivation journey, but compared to what she witnessed today, she had to admit she was still far too inexperienced.

The Undead Skeleton was completely "dead"!

Its previously glowing white bones now looked no different from normal skeletal remains.

The Undead Skeleton’s power was completely gone, and its skeleton fell apart!

"There should be other Undead Creatures here," Liu Mei said, looking from the "dead" Undead Skeleton on the floor to Chen Yu.

"That would be fantastic," Chen Yu said with a smile.

Liu Mei was speechless.

"What kind of being do you think this ’Great Emperor’ the undead mentioned is? You don’t think the Great Emperor is in this castle, do you?" Liu Mei asked Chen Yu, her expression grave.

Chen Yu’s gaze swept over their surroundings and into the distance. "I’m not sure yet. We’ll know once we take a look."

With that, Chen Yu took the lead, stepping toward the next area.

Liu Mei pondered for a moment, then followed.

Passing through a second great hall, the two arrived in a long corridor of the castle.

Along one side of the corridor were several rooms, and a silver bell hung on each door.

There were at least a dozen silver bells!

Chen Yu pushed open the first door on the side of the corridor. Inside was a Crystal Coffin.

Their gazes fell upon the Crystal Coffin in the room. Lying within it was another complete skeleton.

Just like the skeleton in the Crystal Coffin from the second hall, its bones were a glowing white.

JINGLE—

Just then, the bell hanging on the door swayed and chimed. The skeleton in the Crystal Coffin instantly shattered the lid. Green flames burned fiercely in its eye sockets.

Its aura was even stronger than the skeleton from the hall’s Crystal Coffin.

"Trespassers in the Great Emperor’s Castle will die!"

The Undead Skeleton’s cold voice rang out as two balls of green flame manifested behind it.

SWOOSH!!

Like green arrows, the flames shot out with incredible speed.

HUMMM—!

Chen Yu raised a hand, and a ripple spread out, "freezing" the skeletal flames in mid-air.

The Undead Skeleton’s green Flame Attack was suppressed by the Force Field.

With a single thought, the two suppressed green flames merged, forming a larger green Flame Ball.

Chen Yu opened his mouth and swallowed the green Flame Ball in one gulp.

A faint green glow appeared on his skin, but it was gone in an instant.

’Isn’t he afraid something will go wrong, eating like that?’ Liu Mei watched from the side, her heart pounding with fear.

Chen Yu’s "appetite" was simply outrageous.

SWISH—!

Its attack having failed, the Undead Skeleton immediately moved, charging at Chen Yu at extreme speed. A strange ripple spread out from its body.

A bony fist tore through the air!

SMACK!

Chen Yu raised a hand, catching the Undead Skeleton’s fist with a steady grip.

CRACK!

With a tight squeeze, he crushed the Undead Skeleton’s bony fist.

Unlike ordinary bones, the bones of an Undead Skeleton were very hard, as if they had been specially forged. But in the face of Chen Yu’s strength, all of it was futile.
