My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: <Devourer>, Eryke in the Main World

A giant formed, shaped exactly like Chun Ma but much larger and more powerful. From his eyes to his face to even the minute details of his nose, everything was identical.

However, this giant bore a wild look, a feral grin stretched across his face.

Though invisible to the naked eye, one could feel the giant rapidly absorbing Qi from the air without pause.

At the same time, a prompt appeared before Chun Ma in all its glory:

[You have worked hard and progressed further on your path as a Martial Artist, forming a Demonic Will of your own.]

[You have gained the title: <Devourer>]

...

<Devourer>

-Your digestion speed is increased by at least 10 times.

...

"This feels a little too OP."

Looking at the title, Chun Ma couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath. Still, he wasn’t one to complain, he was already used to things like this.

The description was as simple as ever, but its use was vast, containing endless possibility.

"Hmm," Chun Ma mused as he casually tore a page from a book and chewed on it without much thought.

The moment it entered his stomach, it was digested almost instantly, and he felt a faint trace of energy spread through his body, like the energy you get from sugar.

"This could be quite helpful, especially when eating pills or elixirs," he muttered.

Regardless, Chun Ma tightened his fist, feeling the energy coursing powerfully through his body.

By gaining the Demonic Will and establishing a Demonic Core, Chun Ma has reached the Seedling Step.

Now, all he needed to do was absorb more Demonic Qi into his core.

"The Qi is measured by time," he muttered. "A year’s worth of Demonic Qi would naturally take a year to accumulate. But to reach the Sapling Stage, I need sixty years’ worth of Demonic Qi. Obviously, I can’t afford to wait sixty years."

"The only way to speed up absorption is by consuming pills and other resources."

Chun Ma heaved a tired sigh.

If he wanted to progress any faster, he would need to find and stockpile pills.

Thankfully, with all his skills and titles, his natural absorption rate was already about four times faster than normal.

That would reduce the time, bringing it down to around fifteen years, but even that clearly wasn’t enough.

Regardless, Chun Ma simply laid down to meditate.

Before him, the gates(trials) looked like nothing more than toothpicks, he could casually go through them to clean his teeth if he wanted.

There was nothing to worry about.

"Oh well. I’ll go into a temporary retreat for now and help the main body after that," Chun Ma muttered casually.

Having made up his mind, Chun Ma settled into temporary seclusion.

...

[You have reached Fourth-Circle Mage. You have been rewarded the title <StrongMan in Mana>.]

[Higher Title Detected! Your title <<ManaBrute>> has absorbed the title <StrongMan in Mana>. Evolution failed.]

"It’s a dud," Eryke said in a disappointed tone.

He had already expected this, but it seemed it was going to be even more troublesome to upgrade his title from here on.

"Oh well, I can still let my clones reach Tier Four. If they can, my spells will become even stronger."

Tightening his fist, Eryke stood up and walked toward the window.
