9 Chapter 9: Level up, True dragon race.
As Liam basked in the glow of victory, a series of system prompts flashed before him, signaling his success in the battle against the rogue bandits.
After hearing the system's prompts, Liam ordered the slimes to stand by and summoned the Lord's panel.
A new column appeared, designed explicitly for experience points.
[Lord of the human race] [Earth, Human] +
[name]: Liam Adermin
[age]: 18/80
[Lord level]: 0
[Exp to the next level]: 0/100
[Lord Class]: None
[Base troop]: Slime (common) (rarity: E) (level : 0)
[Description]: a regular slime, the lowest form of monster that you can
encounter in the wilderness.
Skill]: [The art of morphing, adapt]
[Summon space]: 10/10
[Power]: 100
[Experience points][1200]
[Resources]
[Wood]: 5132
[Stone]: 4289
[Food]: 5400
It might not show how many experience points the slimes needed to level up, but the general rule is applied here, where it will be tied closely to how much Liam required to level up to the next level.
"All experience points to the slimes."
Liam commanded, his voice filled with anticipation.
But before he could do so, a system reminder came to mind.
[Ding, it is advised for the Lord to allocate the experience points to the slime while the troops are in another form. Possessing a higher life form or any additional details will auto assign the increase in strength in the said life form directions; this is one of the meanings behind the Skill, that is to adapt]
Liam was quite surprised and couldn't help but inquire further.
"Then if my slimes were to possess the form of a dragon, then does that mean the increase in strength will be subjugated according to that life form nature?"
[Yes, the Lord is correct]
[The Skill that the Lord had bought is a form of growth type with unlimited potential. Please use it wisely]
Confirming this, Liam was immediately excited. A rare smile was plastered on his face, with imagination running through his mind.
He had never thought the Skill he randomly bought would be highly perverted. Not wanting to waste any more time, Liam hurriedly ordered the group of slimes to morph into a tiny dragon form or any similar form.
Receiving the order, the slimes were initially confused since they had never seen a dragon before, thus rendering them unable to morph correctly.
Undeterred by their initial confusion, Liam stepped forward, his mind ablaze with vivid descriptions and detailed instructions.
He patiently guided the slimes through the intricate morphing process, painting a mental picture of the magnificent creature he envisioned.
Slowly but surely, the gelatinous forms began to shift and contort, their amorphous bodies coalescing into the semblance of a tiny dragon.
As the transformation unfolded, a sense of wonder filled the air, each movement a testament to the boundless potential of the slimes under Liam's guidance.
At last, the dragon form emerged from the malleable mass of slime, its features taking shape with remarkable precision.
Standing proudly at four meters in length and two and a half meters in height, the creature exuded an aura of majesty and grace.
Its scales shimmered with iridescent hues, catching the light in a dazzling display of color. A pair of sleek wings stretched outwards, ready to take flight at a moment's notice.
Sharp claws adorned its talon-like feet, gleaming with deadly purpose. And atop its regal head sat a pair of piercing eyes, ablaze with intelligence and curiosity.
However, despite its imposing appearance, Liam knew this dragon form possessed only the looks, not the strength.
It was a mere illusion crafted from the pliable substance of the slimes, lacking the raw power and ferocity of an actual dragon.
"Let's see how they fare with a boost of power."
Liam excitedly said as he immediately allocated the experience points to the slime.
As Liam eagerly allocated the experience points to the slimes, anticipation coursed through his veins.
With a flick of his wrist, he confirmed the transfer, his eyes fixed on the gelatinous forms before him.
In an instant, the slimes convulsed with unimaginable pain, their translucent bodies writhing in agony as the influx of power surged through them.
Liam watched with concern and determination, urging them to stay strong and endure the transformation.
"Stay strong, endure it. It will be over soon."
He encouraged, his voice laced with unwavering resolve.
"Embrace the power within you and rise stronger than ever before."
With each passing moment, the slimes' forms shimmered and shifted, their gelatinous bodies contorting in response to the potent infusion of energy.
Heat waves rippled through the air, accompanied by crackling energy as their essence underwent a profound metamorphosis.
As the transformation climaxed, the slimes' dragon forms began to solidify, their features sharpening with newfound strength and vitality.
Scales hardened into armor, wings stretched outwards with newfound grace, and claws gleamed with razor-sharp precision.
Liam could feel a similar sensation coursing through his body, a surge of intense heat radiating from within as his essence absorbed the same amount of energy from the transformation.
His vision blurred momentarily as his senses sharpened, a newfound clarity washing over him like a tidal wave.
With a final burst of energy, the transformation was complete. The slimes stood before Liam in their magnificent dragon forms, eyes blazing with newfound power and determination.
And beside them, Liam stood tall and resolute, his form imbued with the strength and resilience of the creatures he commanded.
After completing the transformation, Liam hurriedly summoned the Lord's panel with anticipation.
[Lord of the human race][Lord of the dragon race] [Earth, Human] +
[name]: Liam Adermin
[Race]: [True Dragon][Human]
[age]: 18/1000
[Lord level]: 3(+ 7)
[Exp to the next level]: 100/10000
[Lord Class]: None
[Base troop]: Draconic slime (Epic) (rarity: S) (level : 3(+7))
[Description]: A powerful life form that possesses the strength of a dragon cub at birth, seemingly hybrid, and adept at mana manipulation.
[Skill]: [The art of morphing, adapt]
[Combat power]: 1700
[Summon space]: 10/100
[Power]: 17000
[Experience points][0]

"T-this is!"
Liam gasped. His eyes widened at the tremendous changes over his Lord's panel.
"True dragon race? Lord of the Dragon race? "
"And my lifespan has dramatically increased to 1000 years. Doesn't that mean I can live forever? "
"After all, one thousand years is a very long time... "
Liam was baffled at the changes, unable to believe it with his own eyes as he glanced back towards the skill column.
'This is beyond perverted. This Skill is just in the scope of beyond everything.'
Liam murmured with a fiery gaze.
At first, when he gained the free-to-purchase ability, he thought he had already hit the jackpot. But now, he finally realized it. Everything within the system mall is a jackpot, and his cheat is nothing but the key.
Of course, he was warry before, fearing that his cheat was nothing special and that everyone had it. After constantly stalking the global chat for quite a while, there was no sign of it being mentioned.
All there was was a bunch of Lords complaining about the method of obtaining the starry coin currency. Even Lord askme humbled himself to inquire within the chat, but it seemed no one else could buy from the system mall.
'Though this doesn't mean that shortly that is to come, no one else won't be able to buy things from the mall.'
Liam thought inwardly.
But he doesn't know that, even in the later stage, the chance to gain even one starry star coin is as slim as finding a needle in the ocean. The system mall was never prepared for them. They are not ready for what is to come.
Back toward the panel, Liam also noticed several changes in the slime column.
"Draconic slime, the name has been changed. The rarity is also upgraded to S alongside the Epic label. It is a took off towards the sky."
Liam smiled happily at the changes that had occurred. Overall, his troop's strength had improved dramatically alongside his growth.
Feeling the powerful force hidden under the flesh, Liam couldn't help but want to try just how powerful he had become. But he immediately suppresses his impulse as he has other things to settle.
First, the summoning maximum capacity has been elevated from 10 to 100. Meaning that Liam can increase his slimes to 100.
And to add to that, each one of these slimes possessed over 1700 in combat power.
"Hahaha! If I were to summon all 100, my name would be on the ranking!"
Liam laughed at the thought of this.
Calculating for a bit, if he were to summon all 100 slimes, his power would immediately rise to 170 thousand!
And now, looking back to the time he was comparing his pitiful power to those Lords on the ranking, he felt pretty amused at how fast he could progress.
All this is thanks to the skill he bought randomly from the system mall.
Just so you know, the summoning space is closely tied to the Lord's level. Yes, that is quite self-evident. It is also heavily influenced by the amount of mana and the Lord's mental strength capacity.
Because Liam was an actual dragon race after the transformation, all his stats went through the roofs instantly.
His level is merely at level 3, though his combat powers are comparable to that of a level 10 being, reaching the second threshold of sublimation. Each threshold is situated upon every five levels that a person reaches. Once sublimated, the strength will undergo a terrible transformation.
