Chapter 233 - 105: Soul Pearl Plan, Max Level

"Wretch!"

The Undead Skeleton’s voice echoed in fury.

Green flames blazed, and a dozen or so fireballs surged toward Chen Yu.

But before the power of his Biological Force Field, the Undead Skeleton’s attack was pathetically weak.

The Force Field compressed, merging the dozen or so green flames.

Chen Yu swallowed it again, and his Spirit Flame grew a little stronger.

A ghostly glow flashed across his skin before quickly fading.

In Chen Yu’s eyes, a barely perceptible trace of green appeared, then quickly disappeared.

"BURP~"

"Ahh, that hit the spot. More, please," Chen Yu said with a satisfied expression, looking at the Undead Skeleton.

"ROAR!!"

The Undead Skeleton roared, the flames in its eye sockets dimming slightly.

’This guy... he’s an actual demon...’ Liu Mei watched the surreal scene unfold, utterly speechless.

’He’s actually getting hooked on this...’

’Is it really that amazing?’

’Maybe I should give it a try?’

The thought came and went in a flash, but Liu Mei quickly dismissed it.

Chen Yu’s Spiritual Power was on a different level from hers. He might be able to handle absorbing it, but if she tried, the outcome was far from certain.

Seeing Chen Yu’s look of utter satisfaction, Liu Mei forcibly suppressed the idea.

"Wretches, when the Great Emperor returns, you will all die horrible deaths!" the Undead Skeleton roared.

Hearing this, both of their eyes lit up.

At last, they had some new information.

It seemed this so-called "Great Emperor" wasn’t in the castle.

If that was the case, the danger level was much lower.

"Come on, keep it coming!" Chen Yu released his suppression and beckoned to the Undead Skeleton with his finger.

ROAR—!

The Undead Skeleton roared, launching a Flame Attack as it charged toward Chen Yu.

VMMM—!

The Force Field suppressed it. Chen Yu swallowed the attack in one gulp. A ghostly light flashed across his skin, and the green in his eyes grew a little deeper, though it vanished just as quickly.

"Awesome!"

"Again!"

"..."

Goaded by Chen Yu’s taunts, the Undead Skeleton "contributed" all of its green flames.

In the end, it collapsed without a sound, its skeletal frame disintegrating completely.

His Source of Life increased by ten thousand!

Chen Yu held the last wisp of green flame in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp, as if eating a pastry.

Having dealt with the second Undead Skeleton, his Spirit Flame became even more powerful.

A faint Mental Suppression began to emanate from him. Liu Mei, standing at his side, could clearly feel it.

It was a slight feeling of heaviness that weighed on her very soul.

From the Mental Suppression alone, it was clear that Chen Yu had grown stronger.

And by the looks of it, it was a significant improvement!

This rapid increase in Spiritual Power made Liu Mei’s long-dormant heart begin to race.

Looking at Chen Yu, she was tempted.

"Want to try?" Chen Yu glanced at Liu Mei, catching her change in expression.

"Are you sure it’s safe?" This time, Liu Mei didn’t immediately shake her head in refusal. Instead, she looked at Chen Yu and asked.

"Well, I think it feels great," Chen Yu said.

Liu Mei lowered her head and said nothing.

"If you want to try, you can have a go in the next room," Chen Yu offered.

Liu Mei looked at him. After a moment of internal struggle, she nodded in agreement.

’It’s worth a try.’

’If something feels wrong, the loss won’t be too great.’

"Let’s go. The other rooms should have more of these Undead Skeletons."

Chen Yu said, stepping out of the room. Liu Mei followed.

They came to a room off the second corridor. Pushing the door open, they found another Undead Skeleton inside a Crystal Coffin.

"JINGLE~"

A silver bell on the doorframe shook, letting out a sudden ring.

At the same time, the Crystal Coffin broke open, and the Undead Skeleton inside charged out.

It was incredibly fast!

But it was still no match for the two of them. A Force Field suppressed it, freezing the Undead Skeleton in place.

Its Flame Attack was frozen as well.

The scene was utterly bizarre.

"Wretches! For disrespecting a guard of the Great Emperor, you will surely face His punishment!"

The Undead Skeleton roared. Chen Yu ignored it and, manipulating the Force Field, separated a ball of green flame and sent it toward Liu Mei.

Staring at the green flame before her, Liu Mei took a deep breath, squeezed her eyes shut, and swallowed it in one gulp, as if enduring some terrible punishment.

"Huh?"

But a moment later, Liu Mei’s eyes snapped open, her face filled with delight.

’It really does enhance my spirit!’

Liu Mei’s eyes lit up instantly. The way she looked at the Undead Skeleton had completely changed.

She could clearly feel the improvement in her Spiritual Power.

If this kept up, forging her own Spirit Flame wouldn’t be a problem at all.

"So? How is it?" Chen Yu asked, looking at her. Liu Mei nodded. "This stuff is amazing!"

"Chen Yu, why don’t we leave a few of them alive? We could absorb a portion of their power, let them recover, and then absorb some more. If we keep repeating the cycle, our Spiritual Power could increase indefinitely."

Chen Yu was speechless. "..."

’Brutal.’

’That’s too brutal!’

Hearing Liu Mei’s words, Chen Yu felt a twitch in his heart.

’One time isn’t enough, she wants to put them on a continuous cycle?!!’

’Damn, when a woman gets ruthless, she’s more demonic than a demon!’

’She’s treating this Undead Skeleton like a beast of burden!’

’She’s the real King of Hell here.’

"However, taking them out of here to farm them would probably be quite risky," Liu Mei mused, stroking her smooth chin as she stared at the Undead Skeleton.

Chen Yu was speechless.

"Wretches! You dare to rebel! When the Great Emperor returns, he will not spare you!"

The Undead Skeleton roared, the green flames in its eye sockets blazing.

"We should just absorb it all here," Chen Yu said.

Liu Mei nodded.

And with that, the two began to "divide the spoils."

The Undead Skeleton’s roars echoed throughout the room, but neither of them paid it any mind.
