Chapter 640: Chapter 402: The Second War Pet_2

Ji Xinghuo opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface, his gaze falling on the information of the You Hui spirit body, each of its eight abilities accompanied by an upgrade progress bar, signifying that he could invest Spiritual Origin Ability to upgrade it.

"Let’s give it a try."

He selected "Dark Energy Vortex Field," the ability closest to an upgrade.

[Ability: Dark Energy Vortex Field (Third Level 14652/16699)]

However, there was no response.

Ji Xinghuo immediately realized what to do, allowing the You Hui spirit body to rest in the palm of his hand to make physical contact.

As expected, the progress on the ability began to rise.

The coiled You Hui spirit body, emanating a dim, ghostly light.

It stretched itself out on his palm, revealing its true form, its upper body a rough humanoid outline with indistinct features, save for a pair of arms, its lower body a black vortex, with dark energy continuously flowing around it.

Its slender, blue eyes looked towards Ji Xinghuo, displaying confusion and astonishment, before realizing it was being strengthened.

The speed of this enhancement was millions of times faster than its past practice of absorbing dark energy!

Excited, it began to tremble, twisting and turning, as if it were dancing.

Soon.

Ji Xinghuo invested over 2000 points of Spiritual Origin Ability, upgrading Dark Energy Vortex Field to Fourth Level, becoming (Fourth Level 1/66629).

This ability had quite the reputation!

The motion of the entire universe is driven by dark energy, which always appears in a vortex form; thus, galaxies have a spiral structure.

The Dark Energy Vortex Field simulates this, exploding with negative pressure in an instant, propelling everything within the vortex and effectively exerting a pulling force that drags objects along the spiral toward the center while also impeding the performance of Star Power and other abilities.

It’s an extremely rare control ability, virtually impossible to be immune to.

In the rapidly changing chaos of battle, if one is forcefully controlled for a few seconds, unable to move, and their ability use is interfered with and blocked, it would be akin to awaiting death.

The higher the rank of the Mutant, the more difficult it is to control them.

Therefore, although Dark Energy Vortex Field is just a Transcendent Ability, in Ji Xinghuo’s view, it is stronger than a Star Fall Ability.

The only drawback is that its range is too small.

At Third Level, the diameter of the Dark Energy Vortex Field was around ten meters.

Ji Xinghuo let the You Hui spirit body release one and found that after upgrading to Fourth Level, the range of Dark Energy Vortex Field had only expanded to fifteen meters.

In battles between Legendary and Heavenly Kings, where the battlefield ranges from hundreds to tens of thousands of meters, a fifteen-meter radius is simply too small.

But if it’s a melee fight, its importance increases significantly!

"Dark Energy Vortex Field needs 66629 Spiritual Origin Ability to upgrade to Fifth Level, which is quite a lot." After considering it, Ji Xinghuo decided not to upgrade for now.

The other abilities that were close to upgrading were higher priority.

[Ability: Shadow Invisible (Second Level 7501/12911)]

[Ability: High Energy Beam (Third Level 2320/6569)]

Shadow Invisible is a Star Fall Ability, Ji Xinghuo invested over five thousand Spiritual Origin Ability, upgrading it to (Third Level 1/48311), enhancing the stealth capabilities of the You Hui spirit body, especially within the Dark Domain, making it even harder to detect.

High Energy Beam also upgraded to (Fourth Level 1/19609), with further reach, faster release, and greater power.

Ji Xinghuo upgraded three abilities for the You Hui spirit body in a row, and it was ecstatic with the rocket-like enhancement, jumping for joy.

With just a small demonstration, the You Hui spirit body was completely subdued.

It joyfully floated up, circling around Ji Xinghuo, then landed back on his palm, twisting its body to indicate it wanted more.

Qing Hong, witnessing this scene, also emerged and leaped out, baring its teeth at the You Hui spirit body, issuing a low growl.

The two War Pets faced off for a few seconds, looking as if they were about to start fighting.

Ji Xinghuo hastily intervened.

He grabbed Qing Hong by the neck, causing it to Shrink, and tossed it back into his pocket, then issued a command for the You Hui spirit body to stay still.

His Spiritual Origin Ability had other uses; for the time being, he wouldn’t enhance his War Pets further.

"From now on, you’ll be called ’Jiu You’."

For easier communication, Ji Xinghuo gave the You Hui spirit body a name. Jiu You spun around to show its understanding and then transformed into a spectral light that fell into Ji Xinghuo’s left eye, hiding inside the Supreme Dark Magic Ball.

Ji Xinghuo was very satisfied with Jiu You’s performance. As his second War Pet, both its strength and potential were more than adequate.

After fusing several Alien Species with Jiu You to perfect its abilities and make up for any weaknesses, its combat power would soon surpass that of Qing Hong.

He thought of the Battle Pet System of Canghuo Gui as well.

Using Qing Hong as the core, with Jiu You performing a Star Realm Jump together, one would lure the enemy in the open while the other would ambush and control from the shadows, working in perfect cooperation.

"This system still lacks a powerful output War Pet," Ji Xinghuo pondered, "Canghuo Gui uses three Double-headed Flying Dragons for long-range attacks which obviously isn’t enough. I can’t find any War Pets with extremely strong offensive powers..."

"I’ll have to do it myself."

Ji Xinghuo felt the Supreme Dark Magic Ball in his left eye.

It had one last function, one of the strongest burst Abilities, called "Destructive Wave"!

The Supreme Dark Magic Ball would immediately drain all Star Power and Spiritual Energy, exploding in an instant and causing the surrounding Dark Energy and Dark Matter to collide like a chain reaction, resulting in a large-scale energy burst.

The stronger the Star Power, the more deadly and extensive the Destructive Wave.

This move was like self-destruction.

However, the Supreme Dark Magic Ball would protect its user from harm, but after draining all the Star Power and Spiritual Energy, one’s strength would greatly decrease, making it hard to protect oneself.

If the enemy didn’t die in the Destructive Wave, one would be in dire straits.

Therefore, it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Ji Xinghuo marveled endlessly. A Treasure of the Apocalypse Five Stars level had elevated his strength to another level. Ordinary Sixth Rank powerhouses or Heavenly Kings were no longer his match.

But there was also a hidden danger.

The Supreme Dark Magic Ball was too precious to be exposed lightly.

Especially in the True Dragon Dynasty, those Dragon Kings would surely recognize the Supreme Dark Magic Ball. The fall of the You Hui Clan was no secret in the Dynasty, and could be publicly accessed. Even a One Star-level Supreme Dark Magic Ball might attract trouble.

"Before I advance to Shepherd Star Saint, the Supreme Dark Magic Ball can only be my trump card, not to be used lightly."

Ji Xinghuo made up his mind.

"However, if Jiu You can change its appearance and occasionally join Qing Hong in combat, there should be no problem," he thought.

He had already figured out how to strengthen Jiu You and which Alien Species to fuse.

Looking around.

Ji Xinghuo confirmed there was nothing else in the laboratory of the You Hui Clan worth his attention and left in flight.

"Bi Fengyu and those two..."

He looked in the direction of the ruins where Jiu You, returning before, had been attacking Bi Fengyu and the other two.

Its sudden cessation of the attack had already made Bi Fengyu suspicious.

Ji Xinghuo hadn’t removed the Dark Domain, still enveloping the entire city ruins, but after controlling the Supreme Dark Magic Ball, the Dark Domain no longer suppressed his Electromagnetic Induction, restoring his sensing range to 15 kilometers.

At this moment, Bi Fengyu, pursuing Jiu You, had reached nearby, only a little over three kilometers away, searching for its tracks.

Of course, they were also searching for the Supreme Dark Magic Ball.

The best method of keeping a secret in the world is always through silencing.

Ji Xinghuo shook his head; Bi Fengyu was a decent person, at least he behaved very well in front of him. He was worth befriending, there was no need to be ruthless. Moreover, Bi Fengyu didn’t know that he had obtained the Supreme Dark Magic Ball.

"Jiu You."

He called out softly, and Jiu You flew out from his left eye.

"Go attack them, but don’t be too harsh and actually kill them. Keep up the disguise, don’t let it be seen through," he instructed.

Ji Xinghuo pointed in the direction of Bi Fengyu, but Jiu You didn’t need his guidance as it could immediately locate the target within the Dark Domain.

It merged into the shadows and darted quickly.

A few minutes later.

Jiu You returned to Ji Xinghuo’s side, and in another place, Bi Fengyu was fleeing with the Bredaso sisters in a sorry state.

He himself was unharmed, but the sisters were grievously injured. Even though they had taken precautions, in their third encounter, they still couldn’t withstand Jiu You, which had just been empowered with three new Abilities by Ji Xinghuo, and their bodies were pierced by the High Energy Beam.

If it wasn’t for Jiu You heeding Ji Xinghuo’s command not to kill, they would have been dead already.

Ji Xinghuo followed them from a distance.

Only after confirming that Bi Fengyu was leading the wounded out of the ruins did he turn back to continue hunting Shadow Eaters.
