Fully Embedded, Green Lion King
He closed the door, sat down on the edge of the bed, and let his consciousness sink into his Soul Space.
Soul Power: 137 points.
When I came out from the source, my Soul Power was fully replenished to 210 points.
Embedding the South Heaven Gate cost 100 points, and modifying the South Heaven Gate cost another 30 points. Adding in some other miscellaneous costs, I now have 137 points left.
Su Mu thought for a moment and decided not to use the Soul Power to place new cards.
The new card is also in a semi-embedded state when it enters the dungeon, and the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle is an S-level card, which requires 1000 Soul Power to be semi-embedded, and the current amount is not even a fraction of that.
Furthermore, S-rank cards are suppressed even more severely, so putting them in won't make much of a difference.
He decided to complete the Green Lion King set first.
Now I have 137 points, plus the 210 points I recovered from meditation in the early morning, which is enough to fully embed the Green Lion King.
With a thought, Su Mu channeled all 137 points of Soul Power toward the translucent golden lion atop the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge.
The moment the Soul Power surged in, the Green Lion King's body trembled violently.
The translucent phantom began to solidify. The golden mane went from blurry to clear, each hair seemingly burning. The limbs transformed from illusory to solid, the curves of the claws, the lines of the muscles, the outlines of the bones, filling and reinforcing them little by little.
Its body is expanding.
From a shoulder height of two meters, to three meters, and then to four meters.
The golden flames on the mane grew stronger and stronger, but they were still not completely solidified. There was one last step to take.
Su Mu glanced at the panel.

Some of the properties have been released.
But there's one last step.
Su Mu snapped out of his daze and lay down on the bed.
I've been busy all day, from the ancient battlefield of the fourth level to Dragon Gate, and then running into Elder Xiu after leaving Yuan. My nerves have been on edge the whole time. Now I can finally take a break.
He closed his eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
When Su Mu opened his eyes, it was just getting light outside the window. He sat up and immediately began meditating.
One minute.
Soul Power jumped from zero to 210 points. Full.
He immediately channeled all his Soul Power towards the Green Lion King.
Two hundred and ten points of Soul Power surged like a torrent into the body of the translucent golden lion on the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge.
The Green Lion King shuddered violently.
The translucent phantom shattered completely, as if a shell had been torn apart.
Golden light burst forth from its body, like a small sun exploding on the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge.
Its body expanded in the light, from four meters to five meters, five meters to eight meters, eight meters to ten meters, and finally stopped at a height of more than ten meters.
Its mane turned completely from dark gold to bluish-black, each hair burning with eerie green demonic flames.
Its limbs were as thick as pillars, its claws as sharp as hooks, its fangs protruding, and its vertical pupils burned with a dark red, demonic light.
Its aura was intense and violent, like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years finally erupting.
A demonic aura filled the sky.
The demonic aura was so thick it was almost tangible, spreading outwards from the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge in all directions.
The surface of the Jade Wave Pool rippled violently, and Benbo'erba and Babo'erben emerged from the bottom of the water. The two catfish spirits stared with dark yellow vertical pupils, their bodies trembling slightly.
On White Tiger Ridge, the White Bone Spirit Demon stood in human form beside the mountain path.
As the demonic aura swept over her, her body stiffened abruptly, her grayish-white bones faintly visible beneath her skin. She did not kneel, but clenched her fists, desperately resisting the oppressive force.
Beside the stone tablet at the entrance to Lion Camel Ridge, Little Drill Wind was dozing off. The moment the demonic energy swept in, it sprang up, its short sword unsheathed, and demonic energy surged on its dark blue scales. But soon, it recognized the owner of that aura.
Little Drill Wind looked up at the enormous lion shadow, several meters high, on the main peak, a hint of awe flashing in its slender eyes.
"Your Majesty."
It cried out.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was clear.
Su Mu was taken aback. He had always thought that Little Drill Wind couldn't speak.
The Green Lion King lowered its head, its dark red vertical pupils landing on the short, green-skinned monster at the mountain pass. It nodded.
"Continue patrolling the mountain." Its voice was deep and majestic, carrying an unquestionable aura of a demon king. "Lion Camel Ridge seems to be in turmoil lately. I ate a wandering ghost earlier, and it seemed quite powerful. I need to digest it properly."
The Little Drill Wind nodded.
Su Mu stood high in the sky, watching this scene with slight surprise in his heart.
He had always thought that Little Drill Wind couldn't talk.
But it's likely that the enhancement of the Green Lion King gave Little Drill Wind a sliver of intelligence.
However, it still looks a little dull. But this change means that as more Lion Camel Ridge demon kings appear, its intelligence will become higher.
What surprised Su Mu the most was the wisdom of the Green Lion King.
Previously on the ancient battlefield, when the opponent temporarily lifted the attribute restrictions and swallowed that wisp of evil soul, he uttered an extremely arrogant statement.
Su Mu had initially thought it was just a line from a script, but he hadn't expected the other person to be so intelligent. In other words, that sentence was actually something the other person had said.
At this moment, the other party also appeared to be extremely self-aware.
However, Su Mu was not afraid of this.
Because no matter what intelligence it possesses, monsters that spawn within its own instance cannot harm it; on the contrary, they will become its allies.
It's an ironclad rule of dungeons. Moreover, Su Mu could clearly feel that he had all the monsters in the dungeon under his complete control.
Immediately.
He looked at the Green Lion King's panel.
