Awakening: Immortal Tianlong Spirit (5)
"Who is this monster...?" Jin Hui murmured, her disbelief tinged with a newfound sense of urgency.
As the golden radiance enveloped her legs, she took to the skies with a speed that blurred the landscape below.
Whooosh!
Her destination: the Institute of Science, the origin of the pillars that had now captivated the attention of the continent's mightiest.
And she was not alone.
From distant lands and hidden sanctuaries, powerhouses and guardians felt the pull of the golden beacon, each taking to the skies or traversing the lands with a single goal—to witness the emergence of a being born under the seven heavens, a prodigy with monstrous talent.
The entire Immortal Cloud Continent was abuzz with anticipation, speculation, and a sense of change.
The pillars, now unified into one unparalleled column of light, not only signaled the rise of a new guardian but also the dawn of a new era, one that promised to reshape the destiny of all who called this land home.
______________

Crackle... Crackle...
Su Xiaobai finally opened his eyes, which sparkled with a vivid violet glow, pulsating with the raw energy of electricity.
Just then, a mechanical voice resonated deeply within his mind, its tone echoing around the silent room.

In homage to Zeus's legacy , where his relationships often led to the birth of demi-gods and heroes, this special ability allows the user to absorb a fraction of the powers or characteristics of individuals with whom they share a deep connection or bond. This power assimilation is selective, integrating attributes that complement or enhance the user's existing capabilities, symbolizing Zeus's own legendary ability to extend his influence and lineage across the Greek pantheon and mortal heroes.
2) Demonic Core Absorption (Eternal Blood Monarch)
Description: This ability allows an Eternal Blood Monarch to increase their physical and magical strength by consuming demonic cores. Demonic cores, in this context, are the condensed essence or life force found within particularly powerful demons. When absorbed, these cores grant the blood monarch a surge of power, enhancing their existing abilities and possibly unlocking new ones. The process not only boosts their strength but can also accelerate their healing and increase their resilience, allowing them to adapt and evolve rapidly after each core is assimilated.

"What?"
Su Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing the sudden influx of information in his brain that made his head spin. But before it could end, a white light appeared suddenly as the steel door opened.
"WHERE IS THAT RAT!"
The old man who barged into the room carried with him a presence that was both formidable and fragile.
His hair was a shock of white, flowing down past his shoulders like a frosty waterfall, and his face was deeply lined, etched with the maps of countless battles and mysteries.
His eyes, sharp and piercing, glinted like steel under his bushy, silver eyebrows.
Clad in a robe that seemed to shimmer with an ethereal glow, he leaned heavily on his cane, yet moved with surprising agility.
"Who dares to steal the Tianglong spirit?" he thundered, his voice echoing through the chamber.
!!
The room seemed to tremble with the intensity of his fury.
This was Dean Lian, the dean of Institute of science, an A-ranked guardian, whose reputation as a fierce protector was well known throughout the lands.
"You!"
The word thundered through the chamber like a clap of doom, reverberating off the ancient stone walls.
Upon spotting Su Xiaobai standing near the sacred stone, Dean Lian's anger ignited into a fiery rage, his eyes blazing like coals.
The air around him seemed to tremble with the intensity of his fury.
Buzz... Buzz...
His cane, which had always served more as a weapon than a support, began to pulse with an ominous qi energy.
Whoosh!
The glow enveloped it completely, casting eerie shadows that danced wildly around the room.
The air itself shook, charged with a vicious energy that swirled with colors, both beautiful and terrifying, promising utter destruction.
It was not merely a manifestation of qi; this energy was dense, a miasma that seemed to warp the very atmosphere—an abnormal and fearsome power that could indeed tear Su Xiaobai to shreds.
"Damn it..." Su Xiaobai's face darkened in an involuntary response, "Dean Lian, listen—" His plea was cut short as Dean Lian, propelled by wrath, charged toward him with his glowing cane raised high, his features twisted in anger.
"LET ME FLUSH OUT THIS RAT! AHHHHH!"
Whoosh!
The chamber fell silent for a moment, the air tore apart as the old man advanced.
Su Xiaobai's face twitched in annoyance. 'This old man has definitely left his senses on the nightstand this morning,' he thought grimly.
