Chapter 916 - 865: The Jade Dragon’s Frenzied Upgrades
Howling winds and towering waves, thunder and lightning, resonating songs, a tornado storm as massive as mountains rolling in with dark clouds filling the sky!
At this moment, Da Fei was genuinely astonished! If he had known that the Sea Demon could actually stir up such a colossal wave, he might have really left the pirate ship behind as a shield and continued racing against the Storm Eye.
But now he could only brace himself, hoping that Selvia’s counter-storm could turn the tables and neutralize the Sea Demon’s storm with a smaller one.
At this time, the cyclone in Selvia’s hands, floating in the air, grew larger and then detached from her palm, flying upwards above her head, continuously expanding in size during the ascent, forming a counter-whirlwind covering the entire fleet!
When the storm and the counter-storm clashed, lightning erupted, and Da Fei’s vision was filled with a brilliant flash! Thunderous booms filled his ears! What a spectacle! How terrifying!
But there was no time to be shocked, a barrage of system prompts filled the screen:
——System Prompt: The Jade Dragon’s Divine Storm Tower absorbed thunder energy, the Jade Dragon gained 26 points of thunder energy, current energy 658/1000.
——System Prompt: The Jade Dragon’s Divine Storm Tower absorbed thunder energy, the Jade Dragon gained 34 points of thunder energy, current energy 692/1000.
...
——System Prompt: The Jade Dragon’s Divine Storm Tower absorbed thunder energy, the Jade Dragon gained 27 points of thunder energy, current energy 1000/1000, the Jade Dragon’s stored thunder energy is saturated! Consume all stored thunder power to nourish the Electric Eel Soul to upgrade the Jade Dragon’s level. Would you like to upgrade?
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched wildly in shock! My gosh! Selvia is like a human wind turbine! So filling up the Jade Dragon means it can upgrade? Then there’s no need to talk, it’s full, quickly upgrade and keep on charging!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You consumed the stored 1000 points of thunder power to nourish the Electric Eel Soul, the Jade Dragon advanced to level 2! Durability limit +50,000, Defense +50, Speed +0.5. The Jade Dragon’s upper limit of absorbed thunder power is 1500. Current stored thunder power: 0/1500.
It upgraded!
However, Da Fei hadn’t had time to check the upgraded attributes, and another barrage of charging system prompts flashed across the screen amidst the thunder and lightning!
At this moment, a stunning electrical flower formed at the top of the Jade Dragon’s mast on the Storm Tower from the interwoven thunder net in the sky, creating a breathtaking spectacle that left Da Fei speechlessly stunned, as he watched the Jade Dragon’s charging progress jump from 0 to 500, then in just a few seconds to 1000! 1300! 1500!
——System Prompt: ...The Jade Dragon’s current energy 1500/1500, the Jade Dragon’s stored thunder energy is saturated! Consume all stored thunder power to nourish the Electric Eel Soul to upgrade the Jade Dragon’s level. Would you like to upgrade?
Full again! Ready to upgrade again! Did it take half a minute?
At this moment, Da Fei’s jaw dropped! At this moment, the raging thunder blinded Da Fei’s eyes, the violent rocking of the ship disoriented Da Fei’s brain! In Da Fei’s mind, there was a buzzing sound, he didn’t think about anything, and instinctively chose to upgrade!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You consumed the stored 1500 points of thunder power to nourish the Electric Eel Soul, the Jade Dragon advanced to level 3! Durability limit +60,000, Defense +60, Speed +0.6. The Jade Dragon’s upper limit of absorbed thunder power is 2000. Current stored thunder power: 0/2000.
Upgraded again! Haha, upgraded again!
But before Da Fei could laugh, the information in front of him was refreshed with an even more intense barrage of messages! Yes, the whirlwinds from Selville were getting larger, and the hurricane wall from the Sea Demon was drawing closer, the struggle between the two cyclones was becoming more intense, which also meant the speed of energy generation was increasing, at this point, the Jade Dragon was no longer just an "electric flower", it was a massive lightning umbrella atop a lightning rod!
Watching the Jade Dragon’s mad charging with three-digit jumps, Da Fei finally snapped back to reality from the shock of that minute, yes! It’s time to snap back, what’s so big about promoting twice in a minute? Hahaha, wahaha!
Then with a ding-dong, the expected message finally arrived!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You consumed the stored 2000 points of thunder power to nourish the Electric Eel Soul, the Jade Dragon advanced to level 4! Durability limit +70,000, Defense +70, Speed +0.7. The Jade Dragon’s upper limit of absorbed thunder power is 2500. Current stored thunder power: 0/2500.
——System Prompt: The Jade Dragon’s Electric Eel Soul has grown, the Jade Dragon has gained a new special skill "Plasma Emission!"
——Plasma Emission: The Jade Dragon can release stored thunder power in the form of plasma to attack distant and aerial targets.
Upgraded again! And gained a new special skill! This is the legendary plasma cannon of the Electric Eel that terrified all! Haha, wahaha!
What an awesome feat! Promoting the Jade Dragon three levels in 1 minute, what an incredible feat! This is the result of the miraculous combo of the Divine Storm Tower and the Electric Eel Sea Soul, an existence defying the heavens!
Can it still upgrade? Can it go further? Can Selvia’s Sea Soul Staff hold up? Facing the hurricane wall pressing down, all of Da Fei’s tension and fear were swept away by the exhilarating upgrades!
Just then, suddenly, a large area of red dots appeared on the radar around the bottom of the ship—Sea Monsters that had been lurking deep under the ship were making a move! As expected, they were taking advantage of the song to board for a robbery!
Da Fei waved his hand: "All troops protect Selvia!"
——Splash! Splash! Splash! The sound of countless waves breaking beneath the ship resounded, countless bizarre fish with frog hands leaped onto the deck of every ship in the fleet!
On the Jade Dragon’s deck, countless frog-hand fish had begun to assault the human wall formed by the Angel Army, slaughter ensued! Meanwhile, Da Fei himself was also besieged by a dozen frog fish pecking and biting, with a string of "-1" "-2" damage numbers popping up vigorously.
My gosh! Even with my defense they’re gnawing off two points of my health, these fish are not ordinary!
Da Fei hurriedly looked at the Angel Army, no health drop! Ironclad human wall! Yes, the Angel Armor "Hell Dragon Blood Armor" that Da Fei hurriedly crafted had an incredible attribute of "Physical Damage -1"!
This seemingly insignificant attribute is simply a killer under high defense bonus situations designed to wipe out innocent cannon fodder low-level soldiers, and its effect is akin to a Divine Artifact! Haha, wahaha! Luckily, the enemies aren’t heroes, sorry, your cannon fodder boarding battle is ineffective!
Of course, even if it was effective, I wouldn’t be afraid, I’d like to try out the Jade Dragon’s Plasma Cannon!
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre is requesting to use the Divine Artifact "Curse Armor" effect. Use it now? Or delay?
Of course, delay! Use it when the big boss comes out! Since they’re assaulting Selvia, it means their storm offensive might not be working!
Sure enough, just as Da Fei was calmly killing the monster fish, viewing the whole situation, the hurricane wall pressing down unable to advance any further, the rotating speed within the lightning and thunder began to slow down, the lightning net on the Storm Tower above the lightning rod transformed from a flower of electricity back to a lightning net.
It worked! Selvia successfully replicated the miracle of the Angel Brother!
Despite the infinite joy, Da Fei felt endless regret, the current electricity storage 2153/2500, just a little bit more to upgrade!
This was actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an upgrade! Where would you find a chance to be struck by lightning so frequently in normal times? Even with a lightning rod, it’s rare to encounter one thunderstorm every one or two months!
But it’s fine not to upgrade, even advancing 1 more level would only add another tens of thousands of durability, which doesn’t matter much to the Jade Dragon’s 400,000 basic durability. Just treat it as ammunition to deal with the final boss.
Finally, the storm weakened, the dark clouds collapsed, and strands of silver moonlight pierced through the cracks dispelling the boundless darkness, leaving only the Sea Demon’s song and the boarder fish in their last futile struggle.
Haha, wahaha! Come! The final showdown begins, Siren Sea Demon, reveal yourself, let’s have another glorious battle! (To be continued.
