Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 454 - 439: Sacrificing Oneself for the Benefit of Others
"Transform into a permanent Slime."
Li Cunxu added another sentence.
The sea shark whale transformed into a soft, cute, blue Slime.
Li Cunxu asked expectantly, "Can we imprint the servant mark?"
Xiaoruan shook its head.
Li Cunxu was a bit disappointed, thinking his idea could work, but it seems he was overthinking it.
Xiaoruan said, "Conditions haven’t been met; I haven’t defeated it yet, so I can’t imprint the servant mark."
"Oh, right. Either defeat the opponent or have them willingly submit to imprint the servant mark."
Even though the sea shark whale was stunned by Xiaoruan’s imposing aura, before being stunned, it hadn’t permanently transformed into a Slime yet, so it didn’t meet the conditions for the servant mark.
Li Cunxu used his Spiritual Power to form a net and fished out the Slime that the sea shark whale had become. He shook it several times, but it didn’t wake up, sleeping too deeply. He switched to slapping it, and after a dozen slaps, the deeply asleep sea shark whale woke from its gentle dream.
The awakened sea shark whale struggled fearfully in Li Cunxu’s hands. Li Cunxu let go, and with a plop, the sea shark whale Slime hit the ground. The sensation made the sea shark whale feel something was wrong, so it looked at itself.
Seeing itself turned into a Slime, the sea shark whale became even more terrified.
Moreover, the sea shark whale had a premonition that it might remain in this form for life, increasing its terror.
The kind-hearted Li Cunxu didn’t let the sea shark whale remain terrified; instead, he powerfully kicked it hundreds of meters into the air, and it fell heavily down.
The sea shark whale fainted again.
This kick originally wouldn’t have been enough to knock it out, but now its body had become Slime-like and fragile, so one kick rendered it unconscious.
Now, as a Slime, it was defeated, unable to resist, fulfilling the servant mark condition.
In Li Cunxu’s anticipation, Xiaoruan imprinted the servant mark on the sea shark whale.
Li Cunxu laughed joyfully, his laughter piercing through the sea breeze.
As he laughed, a thought came to Li Cunxu, and he asked seriously, "Can you undo the permanent transformation?"
Xiaoruan nodded, "Yes, but undoing it consumes Spiritual Energy just like it did to permanently transform it into a Slime."
"Then change it back."
Li Cunxu squinted, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Li Cunxu wanted to conduct an experiment.
He wanted to know if the servant mark would remain after the sea shark whale Slime reverted to its original form. If the servant mark stayed, it would be incredible.
The attribute tax provided by a Slime-transformed sea shark whale is different from that of an untransformed sea shark whale.
One provides the attribute tax of an Overlord Slime, the other provides the attribute tax of an Overlord sea shark whale.
The former is very little, while the latter provides a lot.
After transforming into a Slime, though still at Overlord level, its race changed, its body became Slime-like, and its overall strength significantly decreased, hence providing fewer attributes.
Do a data comparison, and it becomes clear.
Suppose the sea shark whale hasn’t transformed into a Slime, its overall attribute value is 1000.
Suppose it turns into a Slime, its power decreases, and its overall attribute value is 10.
If the sea shark whale hasn’t transformed into a Slime, it surrenders one percent of its attribute tax monthly, which is 10 percent of 1000.
Sea Shark Whale: Can increase Xiaoruan’s attribute value by 10 monthly.
If it transforms into a Slime, it surrenders one percent of its attribute tax monthly, which is 0.1 of 10.
Sea Shark Whale Slime: Can increase Xiaoruan’s attribute value by 0.1 monthly.
One increases by 10, the other by 0.1.
Clearly, the sea shark whale provides more attribute tax untransformed.
Xiaoruan reverses the Slime Transformation Technique.
The sea shark whale Slime returned to the normal sea shark whale.
The servant mark Li Cunxu anticipated did not fall off but remained.
"Incredible!"
Li Cunxu was excited, his voice slightly trembling.
If Xiaoruan can permanently transform a hundred King Dragon Pets into Slimes, imprint the servant mark, and then revert them to King Dragon Pets, at each month’s tax collection day, the King Dragon Pets would provide one percent attribute tax to Xiaoruan.
A hundred King Dragon Pets, their one percent becomes one hundred percent, Xiaoruan could receive a whole King Dragon Pet’s attribute tax.
Xiaoruan’s power increases monthly by all the attributes of a King Dragon Pet.
Xiaoruan wouldn’t have to do anything, simply waiting to collect taxes every month, growing faster than others who consume vast resources and train diligently.
Moreover, imprinting a hundred King Dragon Pets is not Xiaoruan’s limit.
Imprinting a thousand King Dragon Pets, Xiaoruan’s monthly prowess increases by all the attributes of ten King Dragon Pets.
Imprinting ten thousand King Dragon Pets, Xiaoruan’s monthly prowess increases by all the attributes of a hundred King Dragon Pets.
...
Li Cunxu could already imagine Xiaoruan rapidly increasing in strength even in the late stages.
"If a hundred Emperor-level beast pets would agree to permanently transform into Slimes, be imprinted with the servant mark, it would be great. In just one month, Xiaoruan would have the attribute base of an Emperor with Emperor-level combat power."
The idea is wonderful, but Li Cunxu knows it’s impossible.
First, no Emperor-level beast pet would want to become a super weak Slime, like a powerful boxer willing to become a dwarf.
Second, once marked, it would blindly obey Xiaoruan, essentially giving its right to life and death to Xiaoruan.
Even ordinary Black Iron pet beasts wouldn’t want to give others the right to their life and death.
"Actually, if the idea grows bolder, imprinting a hundred deities with the servant mark, in just a month, Xiaoruan could have the attributes of deities, the might of deities."
Li Cunxu entertained a wild fantasy.
"Though it’s impossible, it proves the choice of evolving skill through the Emperor Skill Flower wasn’t wrong."
With the precedent of the Emperor Skill Flower, Li Cunxu eagerly looked at the All-Encompassing Divine Stone, wondering what improvements Xiaoruan would gain with its use.
The Myriad Phenomena Law enveloped the All-Encompassing Divine Stone, which liquefied and gradually merged into the law.
The time for fusion took a bit long, fourteen days to be exact.
As the last bit of the All-Encompassing Divine Stone merged into the law, Xiaoruan opened its eyes, which had been closed for fourteen days.
Li Cunxu asked impatiently, "What new abilities have the Myriad Phenomena Law evolved into?"
Xiaoruan thought for a moment and then used an idiom to describe the new ability evolved from the Myriad Phenomena Law.
"Sacrifice oneself for others."
Hearing this, it seemed like the new ability wasn’t great. Li Cunxu stroked Xiaoruan’s little head, enjoying the same good feeling as always.
"It’s okay if the new ability isn’t great; after all, the All-Encompassing Divine Stone was free, so even if no good abilities evolved, we haven’t lost anything." Li Cunxu gently comforted.
Jiang Lingyun also took the opportunity to comfort Xiaoruan, seemingly to soothe but actually just wanting to touch Xiaoruan.
The first King-level Slime, holding the title of Soft King, the status augmentation, coupled with Xiaoruan’s enticingly soft texture, made touching it addictive, unwilling to let go for long.
Xiaoruan curiously said, "Squish~, but isn’t the new ability not bad?"
