"Wait!" Lin Su quickly asked it to hold on for a moment.

From the name, this skill seems to be some sort of healing ability.

He took out a gold resource, swiftly cutting his own palm, "We can start now."

"Ouch~ʕ꒦ິᴥ꒦ີʔ" (It hurts~)

Seeing Lin Su cut his hand, Tata's eyes were full of heartache, and it quickly raised its tail and began to sing.

This was a song different from the previous Recovery Song; the only similarity was Tata's singing, still carrying intense Spirit damage.

Once Tata finished its song, Lin Su quickly realized the distinctiveness of the Divine Healing Song.

Compared to the Recovery Song, the Divine Healing Song had a more singular focus; it could only heal physical injuries, a purely healing type skill.

Yet, its healing efficiency was several times higher than that of the Recovery Song, and it covered a broader range.

This could be considered a specialized skill.

"Keep absorbing!" Lin Su got pumped up.

So far, Tata had absorbed a total of four gemstones and awakened two new skills. At this rate...

There were over a thousand gemstones here. Is awakening hundreds of skills too much to ask?!

Well, maybe it is a bit excessive.

Tata nodded heavily, then picked up a light yellow gemstone from the table and pressed it against its forehead.

Tata had never absorbed this color before, so Lin Su couldn't help but hold his breath.

A moment later, accompanied by the breaking and dissipating of the gemstone, Tata reopened its eyes and shook its head.

"No worries, the next one!" Lin Su wasn't discouraged, handing a light red one to Tata.

Another failure.

"Try this colorless one."

Another failure.

"No worries, let's try another set!" Lin Su took out five gemstones of different colors, placing them in front of Tata.

We lack everything except gemstones!

Feel free to absorb!

Tata nodded heavily, eyes filled with excitement.

It felt the joy of indulgence!

The second round followed the previous color sequence.

Light blue and light green failed again, but when Tata absorbed the second light yellow one, its eyes reopened with surprise.

"A new skill?" Lin Su felt the thrill of a lottery win, speaking with anticipation, "What is it this time?"

"Aha!ʕ˃ᴥ˂ʔ" (This skill is called Song of Protection!)

Tata spoke with excitement, its eyes filled with joy.

Another song?

Lin Su blinked.

Could it be that this box of gemstones only contains songs?

Or is it a matter of the creature?

"Want to give it a try?" Seeing Tata eager to showcase, Lin Su encouraged with a smile.

Tata nodded heavily, then lifted its tail and sang again.

Another new song with familiar Spirit damage.

Lin Su felt his resistance to Tata's singing was growing stronger.

As Tata's song emerged, an invisible Energy Light membrane appeared around its body.

Song of Protection... is it of a defensive type?

Lin Su looked at the light membrane around Tata's body, and tentatively swung a punch.

Currently, his sheer physical strength, nourished by Desolate Venerate's combat prowess, rivaled elite stage limits, posing a certain threat to Tata.

But when he punched the membrane, he couldn't penetrate further.

Not because its defense was exceptionally strong, but because the membrane infinitely recovered, so fast there was almost no loss.

This skill's essence remained Recovery Power.

Interesting.

Lin Su's face reflected surprise.

It's notable that both the current Song of Protection and the earlier Divine Healing Song were just awakened, with skill proficiency only at Grade I.

Once these skills were upgraded to Grade IV...

Lin Su was already looking forward to it.

"Wonderful!" Not hesitating to praise Tata, who was eagerly waiting with puffed cheeks, Lin Su expressed his admiration, "Let's continue!"

Tata nodded heavily, face full of anticipation.

Keep going, keep going!

The remaining two gemstones of the second set didn't bring Tata any new skills.

Next was the third set.

The first three gemstones had already awakened one skill each, possibly influencing factors, yet didn't awaken any new skills this time.

But surprises still existed.

When Tata absorbed the light red gemstone of the third set, it awakened a new skill again!

"Aha!ʕ˃ᴥ˂ʔ" (This new skill is called Song of Torment!)

Tata's face brimmed with joy.

Its skills were increasing!

"What's the effect of this skill?" Lin Su eagerly asked.

Tata felt it out, then sheepishly scratched its head.

"Ah!ʕ｡òᴥó｡ʔ" (It can heal injuries!)

"Heal injuries? Isn't that redundant with Divine Healing Song?" Lin Su blinked, somewhat confused.

"Eh…ʕŏᴥŏʔ" (Not that kind of healing…)

Tata began gesturing.

As Tata gestured, Lin Su's eyes gradually widened.

Recovery Power can be used like this?!

Song of Torment, this skill views injuries as the main subject, treating all healing as a depletion of wounds.

Thus, it is completely opposite to Divine Healing Song.

Not only does it prevent wound healing, but it also ensures they don't heal!

Lin Su quickly pricked a needle-sized wound on his finger, signaling Tata to perform.

Given Lin Su's current physique, such a minor wound would heal within moments without any healing skills.

Yet under Tata's new song, Lin Su's pinprick wound kept bleeding, with no sign of healing!

Imagine, if engaging a real enemy, inflicting a nearly lethal injury, then unleashing a Song of Torment...

By now, Lin Su deduced some patterns.

These five different colored gemstones seemed to correspond to different skill types.

For instance, the light blue gemstone's awakened skill, Singing Loudly, holds little significance but can assist other skills, tentatively categorized as auxiliary skills.

The light green gemstone's awakened Divine Healing Song is undoubtedly a healing skill.

The light yellow gemstone's awakened Song of Protection is a defensive skill.

The light red gemstone's awakened Song of Torment appears as an attack skill; Tata's innate ability is recovery, hence the attack is enacted in this manner.

If that's the case…

Lin Su swiftly found over ten colorless transparent gemstones from the box, placing them in front of Tata.

"Let's see what kind of skill the last color gemstone can awaken!" Lin Su's face filled with anticipation.

Tata picked up a transparent gemstone with its little paw, equally filled with expectation.

"Ooh!ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (Charge!)
