64: [Ape E] Upgrade!

A golden circle formed by Light unfolded at Jia Gu Yi Yan's feet.

Brilliant, dazzling white-gold Light enveloped Jia Gu Yi Yan's entire body, gradually outlining and solidifying into armor.

The breastplate seemed to extend to both sides, spreading all the way to his back.

The armguards connected to the gauntlets, while the shoulder pads on both sides were simple circles.

A faceplate covered his entire face, with eye slits like car headlights, glowing red, and the corners of his eyes extending to both sides of the headpiece.

“Is this the First Generation’s Light Armor?!”

Jia Gu Yi Yan felt this entirely different power, his hands collided, and golden Light ignited from his eyes.

The power of Light was heavier and tougher than Fire Finch.

And Fire Finch was lighter and more explosive than Light.

“Impossible, this is impossible!”

“Even if you have Light Armor, your stamina is exhausted; you’re already at the end of your rope!”

“Even if you summon Light Armor, how long can you fight?!”

The Black-Haired Monster roared and charged at Jia Gu Yi Yan.

It seemed unwilling to believe the reality before its eyes.

Jia Gu Yi Yan clenched his fists, and facing the Black-Haired Monster’s attack, he dodged to the side.

However…

He was hit squarely in the chest, falling to the ground with a clang, rolling once before straightening up.

Having adapted to Fire Finch’s speed, Jia Gu Yi Yan was temporarily unable to adapt to Light’s speed, which was why he was hit so easily.

But…

It didn’t seem to hurt much.

Light’s defense was much higher than Fire Finch’s.

When controlling Fire Finch, Jia Gu Yi Yan basically dared not take damage, relying on Fire Finch’s extreme speed to dodge attacks.

Then he would use Fire Finch’s high burst damage output.

As for Light, it seemed he would need to switch to a different operational logic.

Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at the charging Black-Haired Monster in front of him, his left hand quickly swept over the card holder, pulling out a card.

“Light Shadow Sword F.”

Click!

Golden Light continuously extended in Jia Gu Yi Yan’s hand, transforming into a white-gold Light Shadow Sword, which Jia Gu Yi Yan held in his palm.

Although Jia Gu Yi Yan was more skilled with a saber.

However, what the First Generation passed down to him also included the Light Shadow Sword Technique.

Holding the Light Shadow Sword now, he only felt as if the Light Shadow Sword had become an extension of his arm.

Clang!

The blade collided with the fist, and a sharp gust of wind erupted from the point of impact.

Mind’s Eye, open!

Mind’s Eye unfolded in an instant.

Feeling Light’s defensive power, Jia Gu Yi Yan was not afraid of close combat now.

In the world within Mind’s Eye, every tremor of the Black-Haired Monster’s fur, every rustle stirred by the strong wind, was incredibly clear.

Everything began to slow down.

Fists swung out, wind pressure assailed.

Blades swung out, golden Light exploded.

Basic Breathing Technique circulated.

Shining Form!

Bang, bang, bang!

Clang, clang, clang!

Golden Light and black Light continuously collided and intertwined, with either dull or crisp collision sounds ringing endlessly.

Cracks continuously spread across the ground under the wind pressure.

Shards of rock flew, accompanied by exploding impacts, splashing around, and even embedding deeply into the concrete walls.

[Mind’s Eye (Beginner) Proficiency +1]

[Mind’s Eye (Beginner)] Proficiency: 10/10

[Mind’s Eye (Beginner) → Mind’s Eye (Mastery)]

As Mind’s Eye improved, everything around him slowed down again.

Jia Gu Yi Yan also seized the opportunity, his Mind’s Eye firmly locking onto the movements of the Black-Haired Monster in front of him.

Holding the sword hilt with both hands, golden Light continuously poured into the Light Shadow Sword from his hands, forming a spiral of Light.

Thrust!

As the thrust was executed, the Black-Haired Monster also roared, and its right fist, gripping Ape E, powerfully struck out.

In an instant, the blade and the fist clashed heavily.

The carapace on the fist was finally cut open, and blood flowed out along the cracked fissure.

Jia Gu Yi Yan took the opportunity to pursue and strike again, but the Black-Haired Monster was unwilling to give Jia Gu Yi Yan another chance at this moment.

It retreated, stepping back onto the ground.

While rapidly creating distance, countless thick tree roots surged from the ground, reaching towards Jia Gu Yi Yan.

Fire overcomes wood.

But Jia Gu Yi Yan was currently using Light, and Fire Finch’s power was already exhausted, making it impossible to use in a short time.

However…

“You’ve been fighting for so long; your strength must have been greatly consumed.”

“Now, even without fire, I can defeat you!”

Jia Gu Yi Yan pulled out a card and aimed it at the card slot on the Light Shadow Sword’s guard.

“Equipment Upgrade E!”

Click!!

As the card was inserted, the Light Shadow Sword glowed with dazzling golden Light.

The blade widened slightly, the guard expanded to both sides, and the hilt continuously extended, transforming into a long spear shaft.

[Light Shadow Sword F → Light Shadow Gun E!]

Gripping the spear shaft tightly, a powerful force surged from within the Light Shadow Gun, and then, he thrust it out fiercely!

In an instant, the surging tree roots turned into a sky full of shattered debris!

Jia Gu Yi Yan circulated the Basic Breathing Technique, and dazzling golden Light illuminated his legs, then he leaped up, breaking through the sky full of debris, his long spear pointing directly at the Black-Haired Monster.

“Damn it, don’t even think about it!”

The Black-Haired Monster, who had pulled away, clearly hadn’t expected Jia Gu Yi Yan to catch up so quickly.

While roaring in anger, it swung its arm.

Clang, clang, clang!

The spear tip and the fist continuously collided, and the cracks on the fist grew more numerous.

Mind’s Eye was constantly active, capturing the Black-Haired Monster’s flaws, and holding the spear with both hands, he thrust it out heavily.

The Black-Haired Monster quickly threw a punch.

The force of the punch and the spear’s radiance tore at each other, and the spear tip grazed the Black-Haired Monster’s fist, grinding out dazzling golden sparks as it thrust towards the monster’s neck.

Swish!!

Under the ear-splitting friction, the spear tip got closer and closer to the monster.

Looking at the continuously enlarging spear tip in its vision, the monster desperately swung its other fist.

Clang!

With a crisp clang, the fist and the spear tip collided.

Under the force of the fist, the spear tip’s trajectory slid to the side, and then, it pierced the monster’s shoulder.

Boom!

Under the immense force, the Black-Haired Monster slammed heavily into the ground, rolling and plowing a deep furrow.

The Black-Haired Monster couldn’t believe what was happening, and looking at Jia Gu Yi Yan who was approaching again, it slammed its fists into the ground.

In an instant, a thick tree root shot out from the ground, aiming at Jia Gu Yi Yan.

Jia Gu Yi Yan rolled and landed on the tree root, pulling out a card.

“Light Shadow Thorn F!”

Click!

As Light Shadow Thorn was inserted into the card slot, Jia Gu Yi Yan sped along the tree root, staring at the Black-Haired Monster on the ground.

Golden Light continuously gathered at the tip of the Light Shadow Gun, and countless golden spear shadows condensed around the Light Shadow Gun.

Jia Gu Yi Yan held the spear, like throwing a javelin, and from above, he hurled the long spear at the Black-Haired Monster on the ground.

In an instant, countless golden spear shadows swept towards the ground together, shooting towards the monster embedded in the ground!

“Don’t you dare, don’t you dare, don’t you dare, don’t you dare, don’t you dare!!!”

The Black-Haired Monster straightened its body, facing the sky full of golden spear shadows, and clenched its fists.

Ape E also surged with countless black Lights, coiling around the Black-Haired Monster’s body, and as the Black-Haired Monster punched out repeatedly, countless afterimages of fists linked together.

And Ape E seemed to have its true power activated.

It actually transformed into countless black Lights, merging into the Black-Haired Monster’s body.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!

In an instant, countless collision sounds rang out, and shattered golden spears, accompanied by terrifying wind pressure, tore through the surroundings.

“Ape E!”

“Adaptation 90%!”

“Monster Upgrade!”
