Chen Yu tumbled a few times before finally unfurling his Gel Wings, hovering steadily in mid-air. He secretly glanced at his status panel.
——
Race: Wise Man Slime
Level: Gold Lv.10 [EXP: 0/100]
Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Lv.9 [Spiritual Power: 90/90]
Health Status: Healthy [HP: 400,000 / 400,000]

That’s right. After his Demon Level reached Silver Lv.9, aided by his [Forest Sage] title, Chen Yu broke through to the Golden Tier as a matter of course, becoming a true Extraordinary being.
He even obtained a new title from it.
——
Prestige Title: Slime Hero
Acquisition Requirements: The Slime must pass through the three Gates of Trial, undergo a fundamental metamorphosis during the Hero’s Trial, and obtain Golden Tier certification.
Title Effects:
1. Mark of Fame: The name "Slime Hero" reverberates among the races of the continent. Whether met with surprise, contempt, or awe, it will be remembered.
2. Life Metamorphosis: The very source of your life breaks through racial limitations. Maximum HP increases by 500%, and base attributes are greatly increased.
3. Tenacious Physique: Possess a powerful heroic body, gaining higher resistance to all Magic damage, physical damage, and mental damage.
4. Tier Suppression: Exert a natural suppression on units below the Heroic Tier, reducing their attack accuracy.
Note: When the humblest of Slimes breaks the shackles of its bloodline and completes a life metamorphosis, this in itself is a subversion of the world’s rules.
At this moment, it is no longer an ordinary Slime, but a Slime pioneer who has embarked on a new path.
"Only Slimes that eat well can grow strong." —From the records of a Slime pioneer, Winter Calendar 1932.
——
The potential of the Slime bloodline was very low. The boost to its maximum HP after the metamorphosis wasn’t much—at least in Chen Yu’s opinion, it was far inferior to that of humans.
But he already had 80,000 HP at the Silver tier. With this breakthrough, his HP skyrocketed to 400,000.
Not only did this make up for the weakness in its potential, but his HP now far exceeded that of an ordinary human Extraordinary Professional.
He was now terrifyingly strong.
At this time, the Demon Legion had resumed its advance on Storm Fortress, engaging in a fierce clash ahead with the Knight Team that was trying to stop them. This area had completely turned into a battlefield for Extraordinaries.
’This is a perfect chance to test my new strength.’
Meanwhile, the Assassin had already fled some distance away in a sorry state, his figure flickering in and out of the shadows.
"I told you, Allen, these Slimes aren’t as simple as you think."
Simo’s voice suddenly rang out. He emerged from the fading Flame Domain, his warhammer slung over his shoulder.
With a stomp of his foot, he extinguished the last flickering tongue of flame. The Enchantment patterns on his heavy armor gradually faded, and there wasn’t even a single scorch mark or wound on him.
A rift to the Elemental Plane had appeared in the Flame Domain at some point, forcibly dragging the roaring, unwilling Flame Lord back through it.
"Cut the crap."
The Assassin named Allen tried to enter stealth again to flee the area, preparing to find another opportunity to attack.
However, his body suddenly began to emit a faint glow, making his figure clearly visible against the gloomy backdrop of the demon tide.
He had been marked by a Magic Potion, and he hadn’t even realized it.
"When...?"
He quickly looked up and saw Louisa standing on the Giant Eagle’s back, gently shaking an empty potion vial at him.
In that fleeting moment of distraction, several Magic Missiles whistled toward him, nearly striking him.
Allen dared not linger. His figure drifted rapidly above the demon tide at an absurd speed, and he quickly regrouped with Simo.
"Simo, there’s something strange about that glob of Slime." He looked at Chen Yu, who had already unfurled his Gel Wings and was floating in mid-air, his tone filled with wariness.
Simo glanced at him. He didn’t need to be told; he’d already seen it for himself.
’Normal Slimes can’t fly.’
"Are you sure it’s Golden Tier?" Simo asked gravely.
Allen hesitated for a moment. Recalling the terrifying force of the impact and the bizarre sensation as his dagger pierced it, he said with certainty, "Absolutely. But it seems to counter my style of attack. If it’s you, with your strength, you could definitely smash it to smithereens with a single swing of your hammer."
Simo gave a slight nod, his gaze locking onto Chen Yu. "First, we smash it. Then we deal with Princess Louisa."
The two exchanged a look, having reached an understanding. Then, without hesitation, they simultaneously charged toward Chen Yu, who was hovering in mid-air.
Princess Louisa released a dense barrage of Magic Missiles to run interference. She had just mentally asked Chen Yu if he needed support when she saw him flap his wings and leisurely float up to meet them.
"Little one, are you crazy?!" Celeste beat her wings, unable to stop herself from crying out.
Chen Yu glanced at her, then sent a mental message to Louisa: "Cover me." He then continued to fly resolutely toward Simo.
"I don’t care what’s so strange about you, eat my hammer!" Simo’s gaze sharpened. He savagely knocked aside all the demons in his path, his bulky, solid frame exploding with astonishing speed. After taking two or three large strides, his entire body shot into the air like a cannonball.
"Face your judgment, nameless king!"
[Leaping Smash]
He roared as he raised his warhammer high overhead, bringing it down on the airborne Chen Yu with a force that seemed capable of shattering anything.
The warhammer tore through the air with a dull roar, seemingly compressing the very air beneath it.
"Look out!" In her panic, Louisa only had time to cast a layer of Magic Armor on Chen Yu.
Chen Yu’s Gel Wings instantly retracted into his body, and his perfectly round form plummeted straight toward the ground. The moment he hit, his Gel body wobbled a few times like a spring.
