165: Chapter 161 Obtaining the Complete Starry Sky Inheritance!

Three golden pillars of light piercing through heaven and earth illuminated the entire Star Academy, making it shine with brilliant splendor.

Star Academy was in an uproar.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

"Three Towers of Inheritance cleared at the same time?"

"Not at the same time, they were cleared in succession! Three of them! And they are all Lu Yuan's Magic Pets!"

"There was one before that too, which means Lu Yuan has cleared four Towers of Inheritance in a row."

"Is this something a human can even do?"

Students poured out of classrooms, dormitories, and cafeterias, filling every corridor until they were packed tight.

They looked up, gazing at those three golden pillars of light piercing into the clouds, their eyes filled with shock and fervor.

And within those three golden pillars, three figures were undergoing their own transformations.

The first pillar.

A golden figure slowly walked out.

The moment it stepped out of the pillar, the whole world seemed to go quiet for an instant.

It was Little Skeleton.

No—

At this moment, it could no longer be described as just a "Little Skeleton."

Its bones, which previously only carried a faint golden luster, had now completely turned into pure gold.

Crystal clear and gleaming.

It looked like a work of art cast from the purest gold.

Even more astonishing were its eye sockets.

In those eye sockets, where dark ghost fire originally burned, there were now two brilliant stars.

Deep, bright, as if containing an entire vast starry sky.

And behind it, a huge star ring was slowly rotating.

On the star ring, silvery-white starlight flowed, dreamlike and breathtakingly beautiful.

Lu Yuan looked at Little Skeleton's brand-new appearance, his mouth curling up slightly.

He opened the attribute panel, his eyes scanning the three brand-new skills.

[Super-grade Skill · Starry Protection: Summon the power of stars to form a protective barrier, reducing damage taken by 90%. Lasts 30 seconds. Cooldown: 60 minutes.]

[Super-grade Skill · Moon God's Blessing: Gain the blessing of moonlight, gaining a shield equal to 20% of max HP per second. Lasts 10 seconds. Cooldown: 120 minutes.]

[Super-grade Skill · Star Binding: Channel the power of the stars to bind all enemies within range. During the binding, enemies cannot move or use skills. Lasts 5 seconds. Cooldown: 3 minutes.]

The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth began to twitch violently.

"Three super-grade skills..."

"Two defensive, one control."

"You freaking don't have a single attack skill?!"

He took a deep breath and turned to look at Little Skeleton.

"No wonder Slime chases you and calls you a coward every day."

"It's absolutely right to scold you!"

...

The second pillar.

A figure wreathed in wind, thunder, and flames shot out from the pillar like a lightning bolt!

Boom—!!!

That figure dragged a long, three-colored tail flame through the air.

It was so fast that it didn't even have time to leave an afterimage!

A series of dense sonic booms erupted in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those were the explosions of the sound barrier being broken in succession.

Within a few breaths, that figure had circled the sky above Star Academy three full times!

Finally, it hovered in mid-air.

It was a black sphere burning with three-colored flames—Demon Pill!

But at this moment, Demon Pill had undergone a heaven-shaking change.

Its body surface no longer had just simple flames.

Wind, thunder, fire!

Three completely different elemental powers were interweaving and surging on its body surface, forming a strange balance.

Behind it, a pair of wings condensed from wind and thunder were slowly flapping.

Under its feet, a pair of wheels burning with raging flames were spinning at high speed.

Lu Yuan opened the attribute panel.

[Super-grade Skill · Wind-Thunder Wings: Condense wind and thunder power into wings, increasing flight speed by 500%. Duration: Unlimited. Cooldown: None.]

[Super-grade Skill · Wind Fire Wheels: Condense wind and fire power into wheels, increasing movement speed by 300%. Can stack with Ta Ta Dance layers. Duration: Unlimited. Cooldown: None.]

Lu Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

"Wind-Thunder Wings... flight speed increased by 500%, unlimited duration?"

"Wind Fire Wheels... movement speed increased by 300%, and can stack with Ta Ta Dance layers?"

He looked at the figure in the sky that was now almost too fast to see, and couldn't help but gasp.

"How is this still playable?"

"Once the speed stacks up, who can even touch it?"

The improvement in Little Skeleton and Demon Pill was too great.

So great that even he was somewhat surprised.

By comparison, although Slime had also cleared the Tower of Conquest, the super-grade skill it obtained was still one that amplified damage.

For a monster like Slime that didn't lack damage at all, the effect was roughly equal to zero.

A playful smile curled at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth.

It seemed the position of the boss among his Magic Pets was about to change.

He was already prepared to watch this good show.

But just at this moment,

Hum!!!

A fourth pillar of light shot into the sky!

An even more grand system announcement resounded throughout the entire Star Academy!

[Congratulations! Your Magic Pet — Slime, has cleared the Tower of Eternity! Obtained one Starry Sky Inheritance!!!]

???

Lu Yuan was stunned.

He blinked his eyes, looking at the fourth pillar of light slowly lighting up in the sky, his mind blank.

"What's the situation?"

"Slime... how did it clear another tower?"

It wasn't just him.

The entire Star Academy was dumbfounded.

"No... since when were the Towers of Inheritance so easy to clear?"

"One Magic Pet clearing two? Is this reasonable?!"

"Those are the Towers of Inheritance that no one has ever cleared before!"

"How can Lu Yuan's Magic Pets just steamroll everything?"

"One clearing one is one thing..."

"What's going on with that Slime? How did it clear two?"

Inside the conference room.

Those powerhouses who had already prepared to die all stood up at this moment.

They looked at the four pillars of light shooting into the sky outside the window, their whole bodies trembling.

That wasn't fear.

That was excitement!

"A freak!"

An old man with gray hair slammed the table, his voice trembling.

"That's exactly what I want, a freak!"

"The more freakish, the better!!"

"With Lu Yuan here! My human race will not be defeated!!"

"Well said!!"

A deafening cheer erupted in the conference room.

It was a kind of wild joy, having been dragged back from the abyss of despair.

Lu Zhentian and Li Muyao.

Both were so excited that their faces flushed with a rosy glow.

"That's great."

"Little Yuan, you're amazing!"

...

In the sky.

The fourth pillar of light slowly dissipated.

A massive figure slowly flew out from the pillar.

It was a blue dragon with a wingspan of over fifty meters.

Its entire body was covered in crystal-clear blue scales, refracting dazzling light under the sunlight.

As the dragon wings flapped, a strong wind howled.

The dragon head was held high, overlooking all living beings.

Its eyes were filled with arrogance and triumph.

"Hahahahahaha—!"

"This King Slime! Will always be the King Slime!"

"Any existence that dares to provoke this King's authority will receive severe punishment!!"

It lowered its head, looking with contempt at Little Skeleton and Demon Pill who were looking up at it from the ground.

That look seemed to say.

See that?

Your daddy will always be your daddy.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"This guy hasn't dared to be this arrogant in a long time..."

"It seems the skill it comprehended this time gives it a huge boost."

He opened Slime's attribute panel.

His eyes scanned the two newly added super-grade skills—

[Super-grade Skill · Life Blessing: Recover 10% of max HP per second, lasts 60 seconds. Cooldown: 120 minutes.]

[Super-grade Skill · HP Lock: Locks current HP, no damage received will reduce or increase it, lasts 60 seconds. Cooldown: 24 hours.]

[Slime racial skill 'Self-Regeneration (Intermediate)' level increased — Limb Regeneration (Super-grade)!]

[Super-grade Skill · Limb Regeneration: Any part of Slime's body that is injured or missing can be quickly restored in a very short time.]

Lu Yuan's pupils shrank violently.

Three abilities, each more monstrous than the last.

Especially the racial skill.

Self-Regeneration evolved into 'Limb Regeneration'.

Now Slime could throw itself around even more recklessly!!

No wonder this guy dared to be so arrogant.

With this skill, it was indeed qualified to be arrogant.

"Good."

Lu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

"Then let's march up to the Starry Sky Battlefield."

"And ask that so-called number one powerhouse of the human race why they chose to surrender without a fight."
