Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress - Chapter 57: Absorbing the Spiritual Crystal! My Mental Power Directly Surpassed the Empress’s?
Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Absorbing the Spiritual Crystal! My Mental Power Directly Surpassed the Empress’s?
The next second, the semi-corporeal, brilliant starlight swirling around the Spiritual Crystal seemed to find an outlet.
It surged ceaselessly into Chu Sheng’s proboscis!
[Ding! High-Purity Spiritual Energy detected! Commencing absorption!]
[Mental Power +25.5!]
[Mental Power +36.1!]
[Mental Power +55.8!]
…
A rapid series of system notifications rang frantically in Chu Sheng’s mind.
He felt a cool, gentle, yet boundlessly majestic energy wash over every inch of his nerves through his proboscis. It was an indescribably euphoric sensation!!
’Gotta be honest! This is way better than an orgasm!’
[Ding! A total of 189.2 Mental Power has been absorbed! Current total Mental Power is 220.8!]
[Ding! Mental Power Realm has broken through to the First-Grade Middle Stage!!]
[The absorbed Mental Power has been detected as extremely pure and its energy is gentle… No side effects have been produced! You may continue absorbing after digestion is complete!]
’Holy crap!’
’That’s insane?!’
’Just one sip! Just a single, tiny sip!’
’My Mental Power shot up from No Realm straight to the First-Grade Middle Stage!’
’That’s the same as the Empress’s current Mental Power level!!’
Chu Sheng felt an unprecedented clarity and lucidity in his mind.
If the world in his eyes was 480p before, it had now instantly upgraded to 8K ultra-HD Blu-ray quality!
Every speck of dust floating in the air, every fine texture on the distant rock face, even the faint, cool body fragrance from Gu Yuexi beneath him, like the crisp air after a snowfall…
…all became incomparably clear and three-dimensional, as if he could “touch” them directly with his spirit.
His thought processes had accelerated to an unbelievable degree. Problems that used to take him ages to ponder could now be solved in multiple ways with just a single thought.
This feeling of controlling and perceiving everything was ten thousand times more satisfying than the sense of power from simply sucking blood!
But…
…this immense Spiritual Energy also made Chu Sheng’s head feel bloated, as if a balloon was being frantically filled with water, reaching the verge of bursting.
The system prompt had said it would take a full two hours to completely digest and absorb this energy, making it his own.
’It’s true! As long as it has a physical form, I can suck it. That logic is flawless!’
Chu Sheng was absolutely delighted.
’I was just wondering how I was supposed to suck on a hard crystal like this. I couldn’t possibly grind it into powder and snort it in some unmentionable way, right?’
’I never thought it would be so simple and crude—just stick my tube in and go!’
He glanced greedily at the still-brilliant Spiritual Crystal below, then felt his own bloated head, a sense of regret creeping into his heart.
’Sigh, such a good thing. I just don’t know how many more sips I can take…’
’A two-hour digestion period is just too slow.’
’The Empress definitely won’t wait for me!’
Meanwhile, Gu Yuexi, who was right beside him, was completely petrified.
Her cool, aloof eyes were now wide and round, her long eyelashes trembling slightly in shock.
Her gaze shifted back and forth between the Spiritual Crystal in her hand, which had clearly dimmed a notch, and Chu Sheng, who was perched on top of it.
Her eyes were filled with utter disbelief!
’It… It can even… directly absorb the energy of a Spiritual Crystal?!’
’How is that possible?!’
’Spiritual Crystals are crystallizations of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and their structure is incredibly stable!’
’They can only be safely refined and absorbed through a Celestial Tier Spiritual Technique, like my Void Observation Technique! Otherwise, the risks are enormous!’
’Absorbing it through physical means? That’s completely unheard of! How can it withstand that?’
’And… isn’t this absorption efficiency ridiculously high?!’
’Just a casual sip like that…’
’…and the crystal’s light dimmed by a visible degree!’
What she found even more unacceptable was that in that single instant, its Mental Power Realm had shot up to the First-Grade Middle Stage!!
’First-Grade Middle Stage…’
’…the same as me right now?!’
Gu Yuexi couldn’t believe it. She cautiously scanned it with her own Mental Power, and her heart was instantly struck by a heavy blow!
’Its total Mental Power…’
’…is actually!!’
’…a notch higher than mine?!’
At this moment, Gu Yuexi’s composure completely shattered.
She couldn’t accept it!
She absolutely, absolutely could not accept it!
She could tolerate being surpassed in Qi Blood Power by this mosquito!
After all, the side effects of the Ten Thousand Beasts Melting Furnace Technique were too great. She didn’t dare to cultivate too quickly, needing to take it one step at a time to solidify her foundation!
Besides, as her Lifebound Spirit Pet, the faster it grew stronger, the more benefits she would receive.
But Mental Power!
This was her foundation and capital as the Beast Taming Empress, her greatest source of pride across two lifetimes!
It was her greatest asset, allowing her to reach the pinnacle and look down upon all living things in her past life!
How could she tolerate being surpassed by a mosquito in her most core, most prideful domain?!
Most importantly!
If a Contracted Beast’s Mental Power surpassed its master’s, it was possible for it to turn on them…
’No! Absolutely not!’
Gu Yuexi gritted her teeth, clenching the Spiritual Crystal in her hand.
She now had only one thought!
’Absorb!’
’I have to start absorbing and refining it immediately!’
’The energy in this Spiritual Crystal is finite!’
’I have to absorb as much of the Crystal Stone’s energy as possible before it finishes digesting. I won’t just close the gap—I’ll leave it far behind!’
Gu Yuexi took a deep breath, no longer hesitating in the slightest.
She immediately sat down cross-legged, her expression solemn. She pressed the Spiritual Crystal tightly against her smooth, full forehead and closed her eyes.
She began to frantically circulate the Void Observation Technique, absorbing the pure Spiritual Energy within at an unprecedented speed and efficiency!
Perched on the Spiritual Crystal, Chu Sheng felt the crystal’s energy being pulled away by another powerful and domineering suction force. He couldn’t help but purse his lips.
’Stingy…’
’So what if my Mental Power is a little higher than yours? Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry to fight me for food?’
Still, his head was indeed throbbing. He felt woozy, as if he’d drunk three catties of fake liquor, and he really needed to digest first.
’Since I’m idle anyway, and waiting to digest is boring…’
’…why not get some more Qi Blood?’
In any case, his mental “satiety” didn’t affect his physical “hunger.”
They were two completely different energy systems, running on parallel tracks without interfering with each other.
With a thought from Chu Sheng, his vast Mental Power, already at the First-Grade Middle Stage, acted like a huge, invisible hand.
It easily reached into the Storage Pouch he had looted from Liu Ming.
Liu Ming’s spiritual imprint had completely dissipated the moment he died. The Storage Pouch was now ownerless, and anyone with First-Grade Mental Power could easily open and use it.
Chu Sheng rummaged inside and soon took out the body parts of the Ink Jade Profound Turtle.
Among them was a small, charred head…
Chu Sheng stared at it, pondering for a long time. ’Hmm… A turtle’s blackhead?’
’That looks pretty disgusting. I’m not sucking that!’
Disgusted, Chu Sheng put the head back into the Storage Pouch and turned to a relatively intact piece of turtle meat.
He plunged his proboscis fiercely into the turtle meat.
[Ding! Host has absorbed 19.5 Qi Blood! Current Total Qi Blood is 521.4!]
[Digesting blood. Estimated time: 18 minutes! Estimated 4.1 Evolution Points to be gained after digestion!]
[Ding! Accumulated Evolution Points have reached 80.3! Conditions for the fourth evolution have been met! Evolution can be initiated at any time. Duration: 24 hours!]
’Yesss! I did it! Lord Mosquito did it!’
Chu Sheng was so excited he rubbed his six legs together, feeling absolutely exhilarated.
’This trip to the Black Stone Secret Realm has been incredibly fruitful! It’s an epic drop!’
’Not only has my Mental Power increased earth-shatteringly, but I’ve also finally gathered the conditions for my fourth evolution!’
’Once I get back, I can start evolving immediately!’
’I just wonder what I’ll become after the fourth evolution.’
’Will my body get bigger? Will I grow cooler wings? Or maybe a few more pairs of sharp claws?’
Chu Sheng’s heart filled with anticipation. He lay leisurely on the cool turtle shell, savoring the pleasant sensation of digesting both Spirit and Qi Blood simultaneously.
