[SR Level, Heartbeat System]
[Realm: Early Heavenly Connection]
Erha lay on the ground looking bewildered. It thought transplanting a Dao embryo would be painful, and it might have to roll around in agony, but it seemed as easy as drinking water.
Xiang Beifei carefully examined the aura of the Dao embryo and realized that Erha mainly wouldn't be rejected because it was connected to his aura.
"Well, you're pretty lucky. See how many you can handle," Xiang Beifei said.
Erha was quite excited, but unfortunately, when Xiang Beifei tried other systems, he found they didn't work at all. Erha seemed to have limited energy and could only control one Dao Embryo System.
But this was actually enough for Xiang Beifei. At least in this way, Erha also managed to connect with the Heavenly Dao. This was the territory of the Meat-Winged Monster, and next time, it could join the fight.
Xiang Beifei gave Erha some time to adapt to the system. Erha pondered for a while, then used the transplanted [Heartbeat System] to electrify the fish in the river, making a bunch of fish pass out from the shocks. Erha happily scooped them all up.
Yuemong watched enviously from the side, indicating it also wanted a Dao embryo.
"I'm not sure if it'll work for you, since I picked you up," Xiang Beifei said.
Yuemong asked quizzically, wondering if the Wooden Kirin was Xiang Beifei's illegitimate child.
"I couldn't have fathered such a silly creature."
Xiang Beifei wiped some sweat away.
But Yuemong was persistent, holding its breath, and suddenly two leaves extended from its small hands, emitting a fierce aura.
The two leaves spun like blades, slicing into the stream. A small fish swimming in the stream sensed them and dodged, but a rock in the river was cut in half by the blades!
Xiang Beifei looked at Yuemong in surprise: "Since when could you do that?"
Yuemong gestured with its leafy little hands, and another bit of aura emerged from it.
This aura was familiar.
Then Xiang Beifei realized that this aura was essentially the same as his own!
"That's strange, how do you have my aura?"
Xiang Beifei understood. Every time he trained, Yuemong would be nearby, absorbing the spiritual power he unintentionally released, and over time, it seemed to have acquired part of his own aura.
Thinking back, it seemed he hadn't really paid much attention to Yuemong. Yuemong just stayed in his clothes, sometimes poking its head out with big eyes to secretly watch Xiang Beifei fight, never expecting it to help, and he didn't anticipate Yuemong could achieve this level.
"Alright then, let's give you a try too."
If possible, he would let this mascot join in battles as well.
"Let's see what systems we have!"
Xiang Beifei flipped through the systems he got from the Ghost Whiskers of the Ghostly Visage. He couldn't tell from whom these systems were acquired. It wasn't easy for the Ghost Whiskers to kill high-level System Awakeners, so there weren't many high-level Dao Embryo systems.
"Oh? An SR-level Green Hat System? How did the Slit-Mouthed Woman get her hands on this? There's a Green Hat System?" Xiang Beifei was quite surprised.
Many systems are quite strange and special, only triggerable under certain conditions, such as the Old Driver System and Catering System, which only demonstrate system abilities in human society. If the Ghost Whiskers existed in a social structure different from humans, these systems would be useless to them.
As for the Green Hat System, becoming stronger by either being cheated on or cheating on others! Xiang Beifei wasn't sure how the Slit-Mouthed Woman made use of it.
"Awoo awoo!" Erha suggested, with a patch of green leaves on Yuemong's head, that a little hat would be quite fitting for Yuemong.
He enthusiastically used his power to control wood to turn the leaves on Yuemong's head into a little green hat.
"You've got to be kidding me, does Green Hat System mean wearing a green hat!" Xiang Beifei couldn't help but curse.
"Awo?" Erha asked blankly: Isn't it?
"Sigh, this is not that kind of green hat. Stop messing around and quit teasing Yuemong."
Xiang Beifei smoothed out the tiny patch of leaves on Yuemong's head, then tossed the system aside and continued checking other systems.
Soon, his eyes lit up as he discovered a very special system—[SSR-level Stronger When Encountering the Strong System]
This was the only SSR-level one, initially transplanted into Xuwang, but Xuwang never used it when facing Xiang Beifei.
As long as you encounter an individual stronger than yourself, be it in conversation, shaking hands, or fighting, it can make you stronger, and especially in battles, you can preemptively use the strength value to enhance your combat power!
"This system is nice, Yuemong can give it a try."
After all, Yuemong would stick to him every day, and he was much stronger than Yuemong, representing a perfect example of Stronger When Encountering the Strong.
Xiang Beifei, following the aura on Erha just now, merged the Dao embryo into a beam of light, wrapping it around Yuemong.
However, it was obvious that adapting the Dao embryo to Yuemong was much more troublesome than with Erha. With Erha, it felt seamless, but for Yuemong, there was an uncoordinated resistance.
