Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 126, Section 125: Inauguration! Beowulf! (Panel updated, more data)

[Appointment Ceremony: Kill ten hybrid dragon foes (1/10) to become a [Dragon Slayer]; subsequent kills will advance you to [Dragon Slayer - Hybrid Killer]]

[Hidden method: Bathing in dragon blood or consuming dragon blood crystals and surviving successfully will allow you to become [Dragon Slayer Beowulf]; defeating pure-blooded dragons (0/10) will allow you to become [Dragon Slayer - Dragon Burial Man]]

[Note: The above requirements are not mutually exclusive and are always open. Completing all of them will grant you the legendary talent [Heavenly Dragon Slayer] (if you successfully hunt the first-generation species, it will be upgraded to [Mythical]!)]

The job requirements were extremely luxurious and complicated, but Ling Xiao showed no impatience whatsoever.

After carefully reading through the entire text, he also read the "Professional Message" in detail, and his enthusiasm for the hidden profession of "Dragon Slayer" grew even stronger!

Putting aside the feud between humans and dragons for now, after all, although he, as a transmigrator, had a simple stance, he couldn't fully empathize with them.

The bonuses from the [Dragon Slayer] are even more terrifying than my current main class!

Especially the talent that comes from multiple paths that ultimately converge and coalesce—[Heavenly Mandate Dragon Slayer]!

The original divine embers were nothing more than a legend.

Those densely packed and powerful entries almost drained him dry just from taking advantage of the situation!

And the innate talent is [The Heart of Gluttony].

The seemingly endless ceiling is what makes it "epic"!

This is the first time he has glimpsed the possibility of reaching the [Mythical] level!

Not much to say.

The clue of "mythology" is enough.

That's enough...

Slaying dragons...

He was determined to win!

"call……"

Ling Xiao exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes almost overflowing with excitement and anticipation.

The pain from various parts of the body gradually subsided under the effect of the medication.

In fact.

The effect of drug treatment is negligible.

The severe injuries, including those to his left arm, regenerated and healed at a visible speed, thanks to the physical and spiritual energy that was rapidly replenished and immediately consumed.

Before long, Ling Xiao, pale-faced but unable to hide his excitement, extended the tip of his knife.

The still relatively intact and enormous corpse of the Earthfire Dragon Lizard yielded the most luxurious spoils in history!

【获得：异变生物[地炎龙蜥]（肉块*96、脊骨*28、棘刺*46、膜……）、劣质龙血*14、龙血结晶*1、异变源核*10、不祥铜币*378、赏金秘罐（龙属）[精良]*1】

What a bumper harvest! What a bumper harvest!

The lingering phantom pain vanished without a trace the moment he received the unprecedentedly generous reward!

The order does not indicate importance.

At least in Ling Xiao's opinion, the rarest of the spoils was the [Dragon Blood Crystal], of which there was only one!

Dragon blood only exists in fantasy and legend, and even if it is of low quality, it is still a treasure he has never dared to dream of!

And the quantity of dragon blood crystals is even smaller; if you told others, they probably wouldn't believe it!

This is an absolutely priceless treasure!

Ling Xiao stared with a fascination at the round "gem" lying in his palm.

Similar to the translucency and clarity of pigeon blood red, but it seems that the wild and ancient aura within it is too strong, causing its shape to shrink into a rounded whole.

Under Ling Xiao's gaze, Gu Ao's imposing and awe-inspiring presence naturally emanated.

In the darkness.

Ling Xiao felt as if he were standing at the ends of the earth.

The enormous dragon head slowly rose from below, its vertical pupils as large as the sun and moon staring indifferently at him, and it let out a silent, terrifying roar!

click-

Illusion shattered!

The highest potential talent, [Ember's Radiance], was instinctively activated the moment Ling Xiao's soul was impacted!

The vibrant light enveloped him in time.

The ripples from the long river of time and the endless depths of space have faded and are about to disappear by the time they reach here.

But the "blowing" still caused the embers of the overloaded engine to flicker and die out like a candle in the wind...

Fortunately, although the Dragon Blood Crystal is too high a status for someone of Ling Xiao's current level, it is not so high that it is untouchable.

Those who have the ability to withstand the tests that come with it will naturally be qualified to refine it into their own.

There is no place for the weak in the eyes of the strong.

If the latter, lacking sufficient strength, covets the former's legacy, even sacrificing their own life wouldn't be enough to unlock it!

A vibrant life force emanates from the palm of your hand.

After surviving the final hurdle, the Dragon Blood Crystal was finally opened to Ling Xiao for a "taste test".

Ling Xiao forcibly suppressed the instinctive fear and desire.

A voice kept tempting me:

"Eat it! What are you waiting for?! This is the moment to transform your life!"

"That's a dragon! Survive the evolution of your bloodline, and you can leap from a lowly ant to become one of the most powerful species at the pinnacle of life! Power, the future..."

"Oh shit!"

Ling Xiao's forehead veins bulged as he roared fiercely, dispelling the discordant sound.

"Shut up!"

He closed his eyes tightly, but he could still smell the sweet and tempting aroma.

Realized it too late.

Ling Xiao then realized that his Seven Deadly Sins were also secretly taking effect!

His identity as a dragon descendant sparked arrogance; his desire for a powerful race aroused jealousy; and his victory over a formidable foe ignited a fire of rage!

There's also the greed for the baby, the primal craving for food that leads to overeating...

unconsciously.

As the most powerful explorer in District 6103, and the first person to break through LV20.

Ling Xiao not only possesses numerous entries, but also incorporates a variety of "abilities" along the way.

The already heightened emotions during the battle were ignited by the dragon blood crystals as they returned to calm!

If Ling Xiao hadn't possessed exceptional self-control, he might have already swallowed it whole and begun attempting to refine it amidst the extreme chaos.

result?

Dying from a body explosion might even be considered a relatively dignified end.

Danger and opportunity coexist...

Ling Xiao resisted the temptation and put the dragon blood crystal directly into his backpack.

Out of sight, out of mind.

The mechanism derived from the control panel completely eliminates potential temptations.

Then he took out another dragon blood artifact.

[Inferior Dragon Blood *14]

Although the quality looks terrible, the quantity is enough to allow Ling Xiao to try it a few more times.

Moreover, lower purity is actually an advantage for the upcoming plans.

Who made Ling Xiao a pure human being?

If you want to steal the power of the dragons, you can't just take a strong medicine right away, can you?

Using the [Hundred Beasts Blood Refining Body Tempering Technique], one can absorb the essence from inferior dragon blood to slowly "fill" oneself with dragon blood factors;

Then, through repeated purification using the [Bloodline Refinement] process, Ling Xiao can adapt to the higher purity of dragon blood, or be able to withstand the backlash.

Finally, we'll see how things go before deciding whether to consume the dragon blood crystal.

This is the most complete method Ling Xiao has come up with so far.

There might be a better solution, but he doesn't want to wait.

Fresh blood is most effective.

If you miss the best time to bathe, who knows when the next dragon bloodline will be born!

Before that, Ling Xiao had restored his body to its best condition.

Although it used up a lot of potions and supplements, it was totally worth it!

A small amount of inferior dragon blood rippled slightly in my palm.

With the Body Tempering Technique fully activated.

Ling Xiao clearly felt an extremely hot "fire line" piercing his body like a needle.

Then it slowly swims towards the heart along the blood vessels.

The stinging pain spread through the flesh it passed through!

The agonizing pain of having to endure something that felt like an itch through a boot was like delicate, sharp glass flowers blooming inside his body!

"grass……"

With heavy breathing, Ling Xiao kept his eyes tightly closed, his back drenched in sweat.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his hair, tracing the contours of his angular face.

After reaching his heart, the "fire" that seemed to burn him through lingered for a moment before beginning to circulate throughout his body via his blood vessels!

A sharp pain struck!

Ling Xiao had even lost the will to curse and encourage himself.

He collapsed to the ground, his exposed skin burning red!

Curled up like a boiled shrimp, trying desperately to alleviate some of the excruciating pain!

I don't know how much time passed.

Ling Xiao, drenched in sweat, suddenly opened his eyes.

He took a deep breath of the still-warm air.

Compared to the burning sensation inside my body, this was a refreshing comfort.

His gaze was fixed strangely on the outstretched hands.

Ling Xiao clenched his fist and twisted it several times, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's done!?"

He jumped up from the ground.

I felt extremely comfortable all over, as if my previously weak foundation had been replenished.

Moreover, it is becoming increasingly robust and solid!

And this is undoubtedly the result of tempering the body with inferior dragon blood!

Right now, Ling Xiao can sense the immense power hidden within his body, but he cannot command it as freely as he can with spiritual power.

The latest novel is first published here!

Perhaps it will require intensive use by the body to fully absorb it...

Without hesitation, he immediately activated [Bloodline Refinement]!

This limited talent, obtained from the Earthfire Dragon Lizard, is now being used to refine dragon blood, which can be considered making the best use of it.

The original Ling Xiao was like a piece of kindling that had been lit, but now he is like a "vegetable" that has been pressed into a pot and stir-fried!

The "moisture" is removed by the powerful baking process, leaving only the concentrated essence!

The process was very painful, but Ling Xiao was probably used to being tortured.

The feasibility study was successful; now it's just a matter of waiting...

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

A fleeting, barely concealed elation crossed his face!

It's really done now!

He thoroughly refined this trace of dragon blood, taking the first step!

The same method was used to produce inferior dragon blood.

good news:

With increasingly skillful processing, all fourteen units of inferior dragon blood were incorporated into his body!

bad news:

The hidden path during the inauguration ceremony still failed to light up with golden light...

"Not enough? I suppose so..."

Ling Xiao was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't dwell on his distress.

This Earthfire Dragon Lizard was a hybrid bloodline that wasn't even a subspecies; the inferior dragon blood it produced was so delicious that even holding it in my hands and absorbing it wasn't enough.

To reach the scale of "bathing," one would probably have to kill a few more similar monsters.

But for now, there is another way.

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Xiao also took out the extremely beautiful dragon blood crystal.

He had his own reasons.

The higher the level, the stronger the attributes.

The more solid the foundation of "humanity" is, the more difficult it becomes to absorb and integrate the energy of this alien life form.

in other words.

The best time is now!

No one could give him any advice.

Having made up his mind, Ling Xiao no longer delayed.

Take out all the remaining medicine and place it nearby where you can easily reach it.

Head held high.

The dragon blood crystal, as firm and silky as chilled jelly, slid directly into his body.

Begin refining!

Bake, bake, bake—

The previous dragon blood was just a trickle, but now the pure power bursting from this dragon blood crystal is like a surging river!

Ling Xiao frowned, throwing himself into the most perilous fusion journey...

……

Click-clack—

The still body covered in blood scabs in the cave finally stirred.

The faint stirrings gradually grew stronger.

The cracked scab crumbled and fell off.

Ling Xiao broke free of his restraints and felt that the world had become much clearer in his eyes.

This time, he finally met the standard for the hidden path!

[There is no limit to the number of hidden jobs. [Beowulf the Dragon Slayer] is ready. Would you like to take the job?]

Be gentle with your thoughts!

A surge of warmth filled my limbs and bones.

Ling Xiao sighed comfortably, closing his eyes to enjoy the primal leap he could never get enough of, no matter how many times he experienced it!

This appointment has probably brought him the biggest promotion yet!

a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes.

His bright eyes swept over the stronger arms and legs...

With a light clenched fist, Ling Xiao was overjoyed by the unprecedentedly powerful feedback!

The biggest surprise is the two additional professional abilities granted by the hidden pathway!

The already powerful template has become even more outrageous with the new enhancements!

But who wouldn't be happy about something that's already good enough?

Professional skills:

……

5. Clear Vision: Elemental dragons are the most numerous of the dragon bloodline. As seasoned dragon slayers, seeing the flow of elements is second nature to them. After advancing, they may be able to see traces of other strange powers.

6. Blood Drinking Tracing: The signature move of the Beowulfs! (Drinking blood may temporarily grant the user a skill of the opponent; dragon blood greatly increases the probability and effect!)

Previously, the field of vision consisted only of matter, but now it includes extremely fine particles that drift randomly in the air.

Sometimes they converge into a stream...

Sometimes it dissipates like smoke...

They possess mysterious colors, and although they overlap and constantly flicker and change, Ling Xiao still knows their truth—elements!

Even though I can only see the general outline, it's enough!

In the heat of battle, even the smallest bit of extra information could be the key to turning the tide or securing victory!

Moreover, it's something like elements!?

The final "Blood Drinking Tracing the Source" was arguably the biggest surprise of the entire inauguration process!

This ability is absolutely the core of the [Dragon Slayer Beowulf] class!

At this point, Ling Xiao was not only the first explorer in the entire region to break through LV20.

Its luxurious panel, if made public, would definitely cause a huge uproar!

There's no way around it; when others see such a monster, they mostly find it difficult to even feel jealousy.
