Chapter 62: Rat Emperor!

Lu Yu was confused for a moment; he carefully reviewed several times but still couldn’t find the skill section that represented the Sleep Curse spell.

Could it be that the skill secret food failed?

Impossible, the Eye of Truth showed success!

After a careful search, Lu Yu found a very small “+” sign appeared to the right of the “Sprit Puppet Strings,” which could easily be overlooked if one wasn’t careful.

It seemed that the Eye of Truth automatically patched and upgraded based on the knowledge in his mind.

Sometimes having conceptual-level abilities wasn’t entirely a good thing…

Upon opening it, the skill was revealed to be “Spirit Puppet Strings—Sleep Curse (The curse can be spread through invisible ethereal strings).”

After re-reading the introduction of “Spirit Puppet Strings,” Lu Yu saw a section that stated—”When it pierces into a living being, it can inject curses or even turn the victim into a puppet.”

This was the ability of the Ghost Face Curse Frog, which spread its curse medium through sound, possessing the Weakening Curse to diminish the spirit of its target, making them weak and thus easier to prey upon.

However, since it was slaughtered soon after being born, its cursing organs were incomplete and the Weakening Curse dissipated alongside the frog’s spirit before it could solidify. Lu Yu had felt regret about this for a long time.

But the ability of the curse frog to contain curses was retained, becoming even more convenient and covert, able to be deployed through invisible strings.

As long as the opponent did not have the ability to perceive spirits or strong enough sensitivity, they would have a hard time detecting the existence of “Spirit Puppet Strings,” and once bound, they could only break free by force.

In other words, the Sleep Curse had not disappeared, but had integrated into the “Spirit Puppet Strings” skill, and its proficiency was also promoted to an elementary level of 88%.

This was simply cheating!

Especially since, after asking Little Spider, he knew that the power of “Spirit Puppet Strings” had also been enhanced slightly.

While it was not much, it showed a possibility!

If he merged a large number of powerful curse spells into “Spirit Puppet Strings,” could he elevate it to a superior or even a legendary-level skill?

Or even through collecting a large number of curses, trigger another evolution in Little Spider!

Evolve into a Thousand-Curse God Spider?

And if “Spirit Puppet Strings” could do this, did it mean that other skills could also be combined and enhanced?

Create a superior skill with the characteristic of accommodating other skills, thereby absorbing a large number of intermediate and lower-level skills to enhance its power, and step by step, transform into a legendary skill!

This process is like doing subtraction, removing impurities, retaining the essence, and continuously improving the purity until integrating the power of an entire system.

Integrate all systems to eventually become an omnipotent force!

Perhaps this is the true meaning represented by the skill secret food.

The evolutionary secret food is the starting point and miracle; the skill secret food is for growth and completion; then, what does the final sacrificial secret food symbolize?

Lu Yu couldn’t figure it out, and no one could explain it to him. He would only know after trying it in the future. Right now, the most important thing was to test Little Spider’s new abilities.

So, he directly activated the Eye of Truth, shared data through soul sharing, and commanded:

“Little Spider, use the Thunder Sound Body Training!”

The dream could not reflect the effects of physical training, so it was best to increase proficiency in reality.

“Meow!”

Little Spider nodded, its body leaned forward slightly, adjusting its posture like an elegant cat, or a creeping body, the crystal-clear spider legs sank slightly.

Like a tiger ready to pounce, it exuded a suffocating danger, making The Little Hamster feel as if it was targeted by some terrifying existence, subconsciously shrinking into a ball, trembling.

The next moment, a “gurgle gurgle” sound came from Little Spider, similar to the comfortable sound a little cat makes, and then the sound gradually became deeper. The water in the tea cup beside them started with ripples that became faster and eventually turned into boiling waves that splashed around.

The Little Hamster was stunned. It remembered that the boss lady was a spider, right?

But why did it suddenly become like a tiger?

Moreover, it had never used this ability before, even when shearing the Soul-capturing Demonic Cloud sheep, it seemed to have been obtained after eating that mysterious food?

Can eating yield new skills?

Could it be that the person in front of it is…

a reincarnation of a Food God?

With the cognitive capacity of Shadow Hamster, the wildest guess could only be this.

Is there a way to turn skills into food, eat them, and automatically learn them?

If so, wouldn’t it be a life of luxury in the future!

Just like in the TV dramas, punching real dragons and kicking ancient phoenixes would not be a dream anymore!

The Little Hamster stood up!

Rat Emperor!

While The Little Hamster was enjoying its beautiful future, Lu Yu was recording data with the Eye of Truth.

Many people have misunderstandings about Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound, thinking it’s the sound of thunder; in reality, it describes the rolling thunder inside dark clouds before a storm.

In a research paper Lu Yu read in his previous life, it was written that feline animals have an instinct to massage and stimulate the bones and internal organs with a purr from their abdomens to accelerate their metabolism and development, making them stronger.

Some cats even use special frequency sound waves to heal themselves. That is why some cats can survive internal injuries after falling from high buildings; they are healed through special sound waves. Therefore, many scientists want to research healing sound waves to stimulate bone regeneration, thereby achieving a healing effect.

If “Thunder Sound” could derive healing abilities, perhaps it can also enhance the “Primary Self-Healing” ability.

“Boom boom…”

With the assistance of the Eye of Truth, Little Spider’s proficiency improved rapidly, the sound of thunder became steadier, with a longer aftertaste, exercising the vocal and respiratory systems.

In just two hours, the proficiency was raised to 40% at the elementary level.

Although the physical strength only increased a bit, the faint “thunder sound” helped the organs metabolize waste in the body, providing a better environment for fresh blood and new cells, enhancing self-healing ability while also strengthening body coordination.

In comparison, the skill “Thunder Pattern” was more difficult to train because it required absorbing an electric current.

Even if it were just the voltage control for household use, with low power, Little Spider, uncovered by any protective shell, got shocked for half an hour, only improving ten points in proficiency, with its fur standing up on end, nearly exploded, and its hands were full of burn marks.

“Primary Self-Healing” began to take effect, starting to repair the injuries, and it soon recovered to being tender and white, but Lu Yu still stopped continuing to train the skill. Not only because he cared about Little Spider, but also because he needed to stay in optimal condition to go to the night market.

“Meow meow!”

Little Spider was somewhat reluctant to finish.

After all, these skills were painstakingly made by its master, and it had to practice hard. The dream realm was not suitable, but it had memorized the correct approach for “Thunder Sound,” and thought that by practicing hundreds of times on its own, it should also be able to improve proficiency.

Secretly working hard, to surprise the master!

Little did Lu Yu know, his Little Spider was about to start grinding again. He was making some simple disguises before going to the black market.

After all, there was a mix of riff-raff at the market, with many members of the Evil God Cult moving about, and it was necessary to hide one’s identity carefully.

So, he dug out an old deep yellow hooded robe with a pouch from the bottom of his wardrobe, which his mother had bought him long ago; it was too large at the time, but now it was useful for covering the whole body, and he put on a white faceless mask as well.

Standing in front of the mirror, there was a sudden air of mystery about him, like a high priest serving an indescribable being, or a lone traveler in the shadows.

“The black market, your Loot King… I mean, Bargain King is coming!”
