Just as Su Luo had yet to figure out what was going on,
the woman before him slapped him across the face.
The woman looked at Su Luo with disgust and said disdainfully,
"Hand over this month's Crystal Core! Didn't you hear me?"
Su Luo covered his burning cheek and looked around in confusion.
I transmigrated?
Then, the memories of the previous owner surged into his mind like a tidal wave.
They quickly helped him understand his current situation.
Azure Star.
A planet where every human awakened an ability.
Their quality was divided into eight ranks, from low to high.
The lowest was E-Class, while the highest was SSS-Class.
Yet the ability the previous owner had awakened was the lowest-grade E-Class wood ability—a worthless little sapling.
Not long after his mother gave birth to him, she passed away.
But something about it was strange.
When his mother died, she had actually died smiling.
Only a few days after his mother's death, his father remarried.
The woman before him, the one who had slapped him,
was his father's second wife, Pan Yun.
Not long after the two married, they had a son.
Su Ming had awakened a B-Class Lightning Control Ability.
And judging by when Su Ming had been born,
the two of them had clearly been fooling around long before that.
Su Luo with his E-Class ability, Su Ming with his B-Class ability.
Anyone with eyes could tell which son had the brighter future.
Su Luo had never had much of a place in the family, and now he had even less.
Every month, the school issued each student an Exotic Beast Crystal Core to help them increase their Ability Level.
The Su family was not particularly wealthy either.
In order to help her son Su Ming grow stronger faster,
Pan Yun had set her sights on Su Luo's Crystal Core.
Having never received fatherly love since childhood, the previous owner had developed an extremely timid and weak personality.
Whenever Pan Yun demanded his Crystal Core, he never refused.
And Su Xiong, his father, seemed to have silently acquiesced to it all.
Once, Pan Yun had snatched the Crystal Core from Su Luo's hand.
He saw it, yet said nothing.
When the memories in his mind overlapped with the scene before him,
he finally came back to his senses.
Seeing that Su Luo still was not obediently handing over the Crystal Core, Pan Yun was already growing impatient.
"Stop wasting my time. Hand over the Crystal Core!"
Su Luo looked at Pan Yun's arrogant, revolting face.
He drew in a deep breath and steadied himself.
Then he suddenly swung his right hand.
Pan Yun staggered and fell to the floor, clutching her face as she stared at Su Luo with wide eyes.
"You!!"
"Su Luo! You worthless piece of trash!"
"How dare you show me such disrespect!"
Su Luo said coldly,
"Bitch! Get the hell out of here!"
"You want my Crystal Core? Fine!"
"Have my dad come and ask me for it himself."
"If you show me that disgusting face again, don't blame me for slapping you some more!"
After saying that,
he turned and walked straight back to his room.
Pan Yun, who had been called a bitch, stared blankly at Su Luo's door.
For some reason, Su Luo's personality had changed so drastically.
The old Su Luo had not even dared look her in the eye.
Yet today, he had actually grown some guts.
He dared slap her, and even dared call her a bitch.
Pan Yun's expression gradually twisted with malice as she gritted her teeth and called her son Su Ming.
"Son, that worthless Su Luo refused to give us his Crystal Core, and he even hit me."
"After you return from outside the city tomorrow, teach him a proper lesson."
"It would be best if you crippled him outright and made him recognize his place!"
After Pan Yun said that,
a sinister chuckle came from the other end of the call.
"Hehe! Fine, Mom! I've wanted to do this for a long time!"
After hanging up,
a cold glint flashed through Pan Yun's eyes as she turned and left.
Looking at this plain room,
Su Luo could not help frowning to himself.
Su Xiong truly was something else as a father.
The entire room
contained only an old bed of unknown age, without even a table or chair.
The blanket on the bed was also incredibly thin.
Sleeping here in winter would definitely leave someone frozen sick with fever.
In the previous owner's memories,
every time he caught a cold or fever, he had endured it through sheer willpower.
Su Xiong had never come to see him even once, not even to hand him a cup of water.
Lying on the creaking wooden bed,
he looked at the figure reflected in the window glass.
He had thick black hair and fair skin.
Though his clothes were plain, they could not conceal his handsome features.
But prolonged malnutrition had left him somewhat pale and thin.
He summoned his little sapling.
Looking at the little tree, he could not help feeling helpless.
"God! Grant me a powerful system!"
The moment his words fell,
his little sapling seemed to have heard Su Luo's call.
Suddenly, with a rustle!
A panel that only Su Luo could see appeared before him.
Devil Fruit Tree [E-Class] [Five Level 2 Exotic Beast Crystal Cores required to advance.] Devil Fruits Awaiting Growth [0/3] After the Devil Fruit Tree absorbed Crystal Core energy, it could randomly bear Devil Fruits. The higher the quality of the Crystal Core, the higher the quality of the Devil Fruit produced. Eating a Devil Fruit would awaken the corresponding ability. It would also increase one's Ability Level. Devil Fruits had no side effects and could be consumed without limit! Special notice! Once the Devil Fruit Tree bore a Devil Fruit, it could not be returned or exchanged! Please choose your Exotic Beast Crystal Core quality carefully!
"Devil Fruit Tree?"
"Devil Fruits!"
Su Luo widened his eyes, and after confirming that he had not seen wrongly,
he shot upright from the bed.
Then he looked at the Crystal Core clenched in his hand.
The corners of his lips curled up as he silently smiled.
Although
the school only issued students a Tier 1 Exotic Beast Crystal Core,
given his current circumstances, he had no other choice.
"Let's gamble!"
With a flick of his hand, he fed the Crystal Core to the Devil Fruit Sapling.
In the blink of an eye, the Crystal Core vanished without a trace.
And on one branch of the Devil Fruit Tree,
a Devil Fruit had quietly formed.
At the same time, the panel before him changed.
Devil Fruits Awaiting Growth [1/3]
Su Luo looked at the Devil Fruit.
He carefully searched through his memories for information about it.
"This is... the Paw-Paw Fruit!"
He plucked the Paw-Paw Fruit in disbelief.
He could not understand why merely a Tier 1 Exotic Beast Crystal Core
could produce such a powerful fruit.
He had originally thought
that a Tier 1 Exotic Beast Crystal Core could only yield some worthless animal-type fruits.
Who would have thought it would produce a Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit!
Without thinking further,
he wolfed down the Paw-Paw Fruit in a few bites.
Only after coming back to himself did he realize that the Devil Fruit was not unpleasant at all.
It had no foul smell whatsoever, only the taste of ordinary fruit.
All of a sudden!
A familiar sensation inexplicably surged through him.
In the previous owner's memories, this was the sign of an ability awakening!
A flesh-colored transparent sphere
emerged from within his body and gradually enveloped him.
Then it slowly vanished.
Su Luo examined himself and discovered in amazement
that he had awakened an ability similar to the Paw-Paw Fruit!
"Eating a Devil Fruit
awakens the corresponding ability!"
"This is too incredible!"
"Doesn't that mean I can awaken infinitely many abilities?!"
Although
he did not yet know roughly what rank the Paw Ability was,
it should not be lower than S-Class.
If he developed it properly, even SSS-Class was not impossible.
"Wait!"
"My Ability Level has actually risen this much!"
Su Luo carefully examined his cultivation.
He discovered that he had gone from Ability User Tier 3
straight to Ability User Tier 8, rising five tiers at once!
