Chapter 2663 Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly!
Liu Jie had worked harder than anyone else this past year. He spent most of his time evolving his insect-species carcinoma feys.
He could tell that his personality had changed. He was now more bloodthirsty and apathetic.
But at thiat moment, he felt as though he had regained his original self.
His companions were his strongest source of warmth and strength, and Lin Yuan and Wen Yu were his most important companions.
Liu Jie badly missed the carefree time they spent together in the Return from Faraway Mansion.
When this thought struck him, Liu Jie was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
Perhaps he was the only one who saw that time as carefree. Even then, Lin Yuan had been silently increasing his power.
After the wave of warmth passed over him, Liu Jie suddenly felt the spirit qi in his body begin to surge and densify.
Liu Jie entered a mystical and mysterious state.
His hand dropped the plate of roasted meat that it had been holding. The meat fell to the ground and dirtied the previously clean floor.
With the Mother of Bloodbath's power, it could have easily picked up the plate when Liu Jie dropped it. But it did not do so.
Instead, the Mother of Bloodbath suppressed its aura as it was afraid of getting in the way of Liu Jie promoting his spirit qi professional rank.
Lin Yuan and Wen Yu had blissful expressions. Both of them had been looking forward to Liu Jie promoting his spirit qi professional rank.
Once Liu Jie's spirit qi professional rank was raised, Elegance's power would also increase. It would evolve from Diamond X/
Fantasy V to Suzerain/Myth and gain another ability.
This meant that it would be able to produce another kind of insect. The new exclusive skill would allow all the insects it already controlled to become stronger.
Moreover, when Elegance became stronger, its control over insect-species carcinoma feys would also be strengthened!
The insect-species carcinoma feys that Liu Jie had transformed through the Firefly Demon Fetuses and regular insect-species carcinoma feys would all become more powerful.
The increase in the carcinoma feys' powers would be the equivalent to the difference between a Class 4 dimensional rift and a Class 5 dimensional rift. It was a difference that only those who had experienced it could fully comprehend!
Liu Jie's spirit qi professional promotion increased his power in a much more well-rounded manner than Lin Yuan's had.
Lin Yuan's power was more geared towards the functions of his feys.
Lin Yuan did not focus on power when he contracted feys. Rather, he prioritized their functions.
But in terms of pure power, Liu Jie was ahead of Lin Yuan.
It could be said that it was unlikely that anyone in the world could compete with Liu Jie in terms of power!
The title 'Fifth Day Disaster' was not an exaggeration!
The Mother of Bloodbath, Lin Yuan, and Wen Yu tiptoed upstairs while trying to impact their environment as little as possible.
The process of a B-rank spirit qi professional evolving to A-rank took some time.
When Liu Jie was done, he would call out to Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and the Mother of Bloodbath.
Once he returned to his room, Lin Yuan took out the Thoughts Letter Paper and communicated with Bai Qinghuan.
When he confirmed that everything was going well with Bai Qinghuan's building of the base, he contacted the Samsara Realm Dictators stationed in the dimensional worlds.
The dimensional lifeforms had been assigned to different dimensional lifeforms as troops. The Samsara Realm Dictators were the generals who led their army of dimensional lifeforms to battle against the dead spirits.
Every Samsara Realm Dictator had been given a Thoughts Letter Paper. They normally used it to send reports and communicate with Lin Yuan. This made it easier for Lin Yuan to gain an understanding of how the war against the dead spirits was progressing.
If Lin Yuan wanted to work, he would have endless options of tasks to work on.
In the past, Lin Yuan would have tried his best to do everything himself. But now, he had learned to delegate tasks to others.
Su Yiren, Luo Lan, and Yin Lin were helping Lin Yuan to keep an eye on the dimensional lifeforms and the war against the dead spirits. If any issue cropped up, the three of them would immediately alert Lin Yuan.
Regardless of whether Lin Yuan had the ability to handle all these tasks himself, it was very time and energy-consuming to balance everything on his plate!
The dead spirits crisis did not help only Lin Yuan to grow. Every member of the Astronomical Parliament was also doing their best to improve.
Just as Lin Yuan was done being updated on the dimensional lifeform progress in taking on the dead spirits crisis, someone knocked on his door.
Lin Yuan knew that the only person who could be knocking on his door now was Liu Jie, who had successfully promoted his spirit qi professional rank!
Immediately when he opened his door, Lin Yuan was greeted by the excited Liu Jie, "Lin Yuan, my Elegance can finally evolve its grade!"
Liu Jie had been a pinnacle B-rank spirit qi professional for longer than Lin Yuan and Wen Yu combined. Thus, he felt extremely anxious to be able to evolve his feys' grades.
"Big Brother Liu, Elegance should be able to evolve to Myth Breed anytime, right? Why don't we evolve Elegance first! We'll eat after that. There are many new restaurants in the Royal Capital.
"Long Tao told me about a few that Zhao Xiaochun has praised. When you're done evolving Elegance, your insect-species carcinoma feys and fairies will need to be evolved. Let's properly increase your power before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection!"
Liu Jie shook his head. "I'm in no rush to increase my power. If the grade is stuck, I won't be able to improve by much, anyway. The chicken drumsticks soaking in abalone juices that I have cooking on the stove has reached a boil. I can make a few more dishes, too.
"You, Wen Yu, and the Mother of Bloodbath haven't had my cooking in some time. I can use this opportunity to show you my new skills! We'll eat, chat, and have a much more comfortable time than if we go out to a restaurant!"
Lin Yuan did not try to force Liu Jie.
What Liu Jie said had been right. Regardless of how anxious he was to increase its power, there was no need to do it right this moment.
There were still a few days to go before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection took place. This was enough time for Liu Jie to increase the overall power of his feys!
"Big Brother Liu, we shall trouble you then. Frankly, none of the chefs in the restaurants mentioned by Zhao Xiaochun can ever hold a candle to your skills!"
Although Lin Yuan was not completely insensitive and possessed a certain emotional quotient, he was not the type to overcompliment others. He only said those things about Liu Jie because this was how he truly felt!
Lin Yuan had tasted many famous Royal Capital restaurants and even experienced a confrontation in the Spirit Food Pavilion.
None of the chefs from Kitchen Fragrance Palace who had been taught some of Kitchen Fragrance Pavilion's skills could compete with Liu Jie.
The only one who could stand toe-to-toe with Liu Jie was Zong Ze, who had received full knowledge of all of Kitchen Fragrance Palace's skills!
If Liu Jie was not a spirit qi professional but instead decided to open a restaurant, it would definitely be just as famous as Spirit Food Pavilion!
Liu Jie was not the type to show off, but he liked it when Lin Yuan and Wen Yu complimented his culinary skills.
He did not cook just to fill the stomachs of his companions. Instead, he wanted to bring them happiness.
"Lin Yuan, I have a fair amount of ingredients left. The Mother of Bloodbath is a bottomless pit, and Wen Yu also has a large appetite. I will use a secret recipe to cook a 25-kilogram grouper and ribs marinated in seafood and winter bamboo duck soup.
"Let's have a real feast tonight! We can evolve Elegance when we're done eating! I have prepared the genetic model needed to complete the Diamond abilities."
Liu Jie took out a dragonfly with six-colored wings and a long tail.
This insect-species fey was not foreign to Lin Yuan at all because he was the one who recommended the Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly to Liu Jie.
Ever since the Cage of Brahma Insects discovered that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple, they showed Lin Yuan every special insect-species fey they nurtured. This was their way of currying favor with him.
Lin Yuan did not turn down their gestures, and they eventually presented him with a pleasant surprise.
The Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly did not have combat abilities, but it was a superior support-type fey.
The Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly could increase the strength, speed, defense, and elemental energy of several insect-species feys. This meant that it had strengthening effects on both the interior and exterior aspects of feys.
It could strengthen feys who relied on their bodies for battle, like the Execution Blade Insect and Shield Ladybugs. It could also benefit feys who depended on elemental abilities in combat, such as the Flowing Plasma Electricity Insect and the Electromagnetic Chrysalis. Additionally, it could enhance the performance of feys that utilized elemental powers for scouting, like the Lonely Night Hurricane Moth.
Liu Jie was always very serious in his selection of the feys that would become part of Elegance's genetic model.
Ever since Lin Yuan helped Liu Jie to obtain the Hurricane Owlet Moth, Liu Jie began using Elegance to take control of insect-species carcinoma feys. He stopped considering any other type of insect-species feys.
However, the fey that would be used to complete Elegance's Diamond genetic model also ended up coming from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled at Liu Jie and said, "Big Brother Liu, that is a great decision. The Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly is very suitable for you. It will not only be able to support Elegance's army of insects.
"Still, it can also support armies of carcinoma feys and insects, such as the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle that relies on its body for battle."
Liu Jie summoned Elegance.
Elegance gave Liu Jie a peck on his cheek before it hid behind him.
Elegance had not seen Lin Yuan in some time. Although it was still familiar with Lin Yuan, it felt shy after seeing him again after such a long time.
Liu Jie gave the Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly to Elegance.
"Elegance, this is the fey for your Diamond genetic model. You need to complete your abilities first before you can evolve to Myth Breed!"
Elegance held the Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly to its chest, and it sunk into its body.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Elegance.
[Fey Name]: Insect Queen
[Fey Species]: Insect-species/fairy-species
[Fey Grade]: Diamond (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Source/Spiritual
[Fey Quality]: Fantasy V
Abilities:
[Execution Blade Insect]: Eight hooked insect legs will grow out of the body. The sense of taste, smell, and mouth will be degraded. The insect legs have extremely strong sensing ability. The hooked legs' sharp end has mouths connected to the inner organs. When the legs pierce a target, the mouths will emerge and break through anything hard within the target's body.
[Vibrating Armor Ladybug]: Its back will open and have a strong defense against attacks. Its back will also start to vibrate violently and reflect physical attacks. If targeted by elemental attacks, the vibrating back would be able to dodge a portion of the elemental damage.
[Flowing Plasma Electricity Insect]: The insect will spit out large amounts of plasma that will start to flow. The flowing plasma will have strong paralyzing effects. It will cause long-lasting electric-related damage to the target.
[Electromagnetic Chrysalis]: In a chrysalis state, it will be able to speed up the plasma accumulation rate. The plasma will be quickly released. In the moth state, it can use plasma to manipulate electromagnetic fields and control targets from a distance away.
[Lonely Night Hurricane Moth]: Flapping its wings can generate strong winds that it can manipulate to attack a target. Its wings will produce special scale powder that perfectly blends with the night or camouflage in the day.
[Six Treasures Cloud Dragonfly]: It can boost other insect-species lifeforms and increase their speed, strength, defense, as well as storage of energy. When it is necessary, it can become a shield and take on a deadly attack on behalf of one of the feys it has boosted.
Exclusive Skill:
[Blast Recovery]: The Insect Queen will select a portion of the insects it produced and explode them. The explosion timings can be adjusted based on the positions of the insects. After the blast, the Insect Queen will regain some of the protein and spiritual power.
[Swarm Frenzy]: When the insect swarm is in a frenzied state, its speed will skyrocket. In the frenzied state, the insect swarm will be bloodthirsty and be able to replenish their vitality using the blood within the target.
Lin Yuan saw that Elegance now had a sixth ability!
"Big Brother Liu, Elegance will need to pick another insect-species fey for its new genetic model once it evolves to Myth Breed. I will get in contact with the Cage of Brahma Insects and other human federations to gather all precious and special insect-species feys. You can pick the most suitable one out of them!
"Judging from your current situation, you are done choosing all the insect-species carcinoma feys to be turned into fairies by the Firefly Demon Fetuses. Since you have made this decision, you should be done picking the direction for Elegance's abilities!"
Liu Jie nodded seriously.
Liu Jie had experienced a period of feeling lost. It was Lin Yuan who gave Liu Jie the chance and courage to persevere in his journey.
As he continued to grow, Liu Jie became more aware of the importance of staying strong in his decisions.
He already had a clear plan for his future development.
If Lin Yuan helped him collect all the precious insect-species feys in the world, he would be able to find what he needed!
Lin Yuan had just witnessed Wen Yu's improvement. Now, he was witnessing Liu Jie's increase in power.
He genuinely loved the feeling of watching his companions improve!
