Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 217 Holy Scale Armor

 All the way to the west.

 At nightfall, Ji Xinghuo had already reached the west edge from the center of Juefeng Valley.

After setting up camp in a hidden crevice of a rock cliff, he and Qinghong had eaten food, and then he opened the interface of Wanxiang Xingpu.

  【Spiritual energy: 3474】

In addition to the contribution of the more than a thousand stone sickle mandrills, today on the way, two more stone sickle mandrill groups were wiped out. Together with the accumulation of the past few days, the spiritual energy has reached a new height.

 “It’s time to upgrade.”

  Ji Xinghuo carefully watched the interface information.

 Two interfaces, one is his own ability information, and the other is Qinghong’s.

 In fact, you don’t need to look too much, Ji Xinghuo also knows the progress of the superpower level. When he was free, he would open it and study for a while, which power should be upgraded, which power required how much spiritual energy, and which power had the best price/performance ratio. He didn’t know how many times he had calculated it.

 I simply calculated the spiritual energy required for upgrading and made a choice quickly.

 The first one is the Golden Scale Iron Spine!

This defensive ability has performed many meritorious deeds and can greatly improve the life-saving ability of oneself and Qinghong. Originally, it was not used much after it was upgraded to level four.

 But last time, when I fused the blood of the titanium-cobalt dragon, the golden scales and iron spine produced a chain effect, and the progress greatly increased.

 It is now Level 4 (4126/5477).

 With just over 1,300 points of spiritual energy, the Golden Scale Iron Spine can be upgraded to level five.

Today, when Qinghong rushed forward to fight the giant stone sickle, she relied on the powerful defense of the golden scales and iron spine, but she was still injured.

 The next step is to go to the Bloody Plateau, where you may have to face greater dangers and need stronger defense capabilities.

 Furthermore, Ji Xinghuo had a premonition.

 With the Golden Scale Iron Spine upgraded one more level, you should be able to advance!

"come over."

Ji Xinghuo waved to Qinghong, and it crawled over from the corner of the tent. Several wounds on its abdomen and back had healed, and the broken scales had grown back, but they had not fully grown. They would have to wait a few more days. The hardness of the scales will reach a high point.

He reached out and touched the new scales. They felt hard and cold, like iron.

 Spiritual energy begins to be invested.

 Golden scales and iron spines are obtained from the symbiosis of different species. Ji Xinghuo improves himself, and Qinghong will also change simultaneously.

 Suddenly, its eyes widened and it looked up at its master.

 As the spiritual source energy continues to be invested, the progress moves forward, the gold on the scales becomes darker and darker, and the lines become more and more obvious.

Scales also appeared on Ji Xinghuo's skin, shining with three colors of light.

soon.

 The progress of Golden Scale Iron Spine has reached [Level 4 (5477/5477)], it no longer changes, and the input of spiritual energy has stopped.

Ji Xinghuo felt the energy and blood surge inside his body, the titanium cobalt dragon's blood was boiling, and the scales outside his body were undergoing qualitative changes. In the body, the spine, which was already as hard as an alloy, began to harden to the bones outside the spine. Starting from the back, each bone became harder and harder.

 In the interface, the bones in the human body's shadow on the right glow.

 You can clearly see that a golden energy emanates from your spine and gradually spreads to your whole body.

"Well…"

Ji Xinghuo raised his hand. The scales on the back of his hand became larger and thicker, and the gaps between the scales became smaller. They were connected into pieces, like a gorgeous armor.

The roots of the scales grow thin stalks that penetrate deep into the flesh and are connected to the internal bones, like leaves growing from the trunk of a tree, forming a closely connected defense system.

 Skeletons are the support of the body.

 Every strengthening of the bones will lead to an increase in strength.

Ji Xinghuo clearly felt that his strength was improving step by step, and the progress of Titanium Cobalt Dragon Blood was also slowly advancing. As early as when they first fused, he discovered that there was a complementary relationship between the titanium cobalt dragon's blood and the golden scale iron spine. One was the core and the other was the shell, complementing each other.

At the same time, Qinghong's scales are also strengthening at the same time, but it does not have the blood of the titanium cobalt dragon, so the effect is not as strong.

  After a while.

Ji Xinghuo and Qinghong’s scales finally stopped changing and became stable again.

 The ability information in the interface has been updated.

 【Power: Holy Scale Armor (Level 5 1/27767)】

 “It’s really advanced!”

Ji Xinghuo's eyes were filled with surprise. His hunch was right, but there was something unexpected.

 Previously, the level of other abilities remained unchanged after advancement. For example, before and after "Ether Sensitivity" advanced to "Ether Affinity", it was level three.

 Golden Scale Iron Spine was upgraded to "Holy Scale Armor", but it reached level five.

 There seems to be no pattern.

Ji Xinghuo carefully felt the upgraded power. It was exactly as its name suggests. The scales were connected together as if wearing armor. The gaps between the scales were just dents, like patterns. In fact, they were almost completely closed. The thorns were Not going in.

"Holy scale armor..." He tried to remember for a while, making sure that he had not heard of it.

 It should be a power that has never appeared on earth, and it is not in the database.

However, at least it’s an overlimited ability!

To upgrade the Holy Scale Armor from level five to level six, it actually requires 27,767 points of spiritual energy, making it the most difficult ability for me to upgrade.

 Such a high demand, its power and potential are evident.

Ji Xinghuo didn't need to test it to know that his defense had skyrocketed. Not only could he resist physical attacks, he also had good resistance to energy damage.

 The strength has improved a lot as a result, and the bench press weight should now reach 18 tons!

 He pressed the back of his hand hard, and the scales only sank slightly and popped out again. They were extremely tough and had a rebound force. "This is?"

 Ji Xinghuo was a little unsure.

So he picked up the Lei Chi sword and hit his arm hard with the back of the knife. Sparks flew out of the scales, but they were intact, but the knife bounced back at a faster speed.

“It’s really a rebound!” Ji Xinghuo was greatly surprised.

 “Rebound” is a high-quality ability that can bounce back part of the force that hits you, and the effect is relatively limited.

 This is a passive ability. It sounds beautiful, but after all, it is an ability that is designed to take beatings. Only a few defensive aliens are willing to integrate it.

 And rebound is not immunity, it just weakens the blow.

Ji Xinghuo never thought about integrating "rebound". Unexpectedly, after the upgrade of Golden Scale Iron Spine, it actually came with this effect, which was an unexpected surprise.

 He looked at Qinghong.

This guy was still immersed in the state of strengthened scales, happily spinning around in the tent, turning back to lick his own scales.

"It's not over yet." Ji Xinghuo stretched out his hand and pressed it on its body, "Don't move."

 As he spoke, he continued to invest his spiritual energy.

This time, what was improved was the "Gravity Sudden Change". Qinghong immediately felt the change in herself, and she lay on her stomach without daring to move.

 The gravity mutation is (Level 1/347).

 Soon it was promoted to the third level and became (Level 3 1/1427).

The gravity mutation upgraded to the third level allows Qinghong to control the range of gravity changes to about five times. It can make itself lighter and its speed increase dramatically. It can also become heavier in an instant, and the explosion when attacking the enemy is heavier. Powerful lethality.

 Qinghong's eyes were full of happiness, eager for more improvement.

The remaining spiritual energy was enough to upgrade the gravity mutation to another level, but Ji Xinghuo was not prepared to do this, and instead upgraded it with a different ability.

 【Claw of the Sky (Level 1/239)】

 Since Qinghong Fusion’s ability, it has not been upgraded yet, but it has already shown its power.

That stone sickle giant mandrill has a basalt body, and its body is as hard as a rock, but it cannot withstand Qinghong's sharp claws, and it is only at the first level.

This shows the huge potential of Claw of the Sky.

  It is an overlimited ability after all!

Ji Xinghuo invested spiritual energy, and the Claw of the Sky became (Level 1/1459).

 He did not stop, and soon upgraded again, becoming [Claw of the Sky (Level 3 1/6869)].

 Qinghong rolled around happily, looking at Ji Xinghuo eagerly, wanting more.

"Gone."

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the interface and saw that there were only a few dozen points of spiritual energy left. It wasn't much anyway, so Qinghong was satisfied to invest all of it into the Claw of the Sky.

 “Go outside and try your strength.”

Ji Xinghuo got out of the tent, and Qinghong followed.

It revealed its true body, which was more than six meters long, standing upright, waving the sharp claws on its forelimbs, and suddenly condensed ten energy virtual blades, which were more solid and wider than before, and the length also increased by half, close to one meter six. Swallowing gray-white energy.

 “Give it a try.” Ji Xinghuo pointed at a boulder a hundred meters away.

Qinghong's figure flashed, her weight instantly became lighter, and she rushed to the boulder in the blink of an eye. She raised her claws and waved them quickly a few times.

There was a sharp sound, and gravel flew everywhere.

 The hard boulder was like tofu, being cut quickly by Qinghong's sky-splitting claws, and was reduced to half in the blink of an eye.

 The cuts on each side are very smooth, like the effect of a stone cutter.

  “That’s it.”

Ji Xinghuo nodded with satisfaction.

 The power of the Claw of the Sky is stronger than I expected. Not to mention rocks, even steel can cut off several layers. If today when fighting against the Stone Scythe Giant Mandrill, Qinghong would be able to kill it without having to take action even if the Claw of the Sky had level three.

Qinghong put away her sharp blade, shrunk her body, and ran back quickly to claim credit from Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo saw through its little thoughts at a glance.

"No, wait until next time." Ji Xinghuo smiled, "You have to work harder in battles from now on. The more enemies you kill, the faster I can strengthen you."

Qinghong tilted her head to think, and immediately understood, nodding excitedly.

Go back to the tent and rest.

 When entering the starry night, Ji Xinghuo woke up and got up to tidy up.

 There are 24.8 hours of night in the astral world. It is the beginning of the interlunar period and the length of the dark night is about 11 hours. He does not need to sleep for such a long time at all, as long as six or seven hours are enough. Qinghong's physical strength recovered faster. After sleeping for two or three hours and eating some food, she was immediately active again.

 “Let’s go.”

Ji Xinghuo quickly packed up the tent, jumped on Qinghong's back, and continued on his way.

 After dawn, he left Juefeng Valley.

In front of you is an endless forest, which still belongs to Qianfeng Yuanlin and the territory of Tianyu Royal Court.

Along the way, Ji Xinghuo stayed far away from the Hanging City of Yiren and did not bother with some local ethnic tribes.

 The further west you go, the higher the altitude becomes.

The density of the forest began to decrease, and the types of trees gradually changed from broad-leaved forests to coniferous forests. Originally, they were mostly flat basins, but the terrain became steeper. There were endless mountains on the horizon. The peaks were higher and higher, and the weather also changed. It's getting colder.

Finally, after more than a dozen astral queens, a huge continuous mountain range appeared in front of them. Looking to the horizon, one could see snow-capped peaks under the blue sky.

 The majestic plateau scenery made Ji Xinghuo's mood surge.

 The Bloody Plateau has arrived!
