212: Chapter 212 Slaying the Azure Dragon, Making a Huge Profit!

In an instant, a wave of enlightenment washed over Chu Xuan.

At this moment, Chu Xuan felt as if he had become the Soul of this fighter jet.

Just by sitting in the cockpit, Chu Xuan already understood every performance metric of the fighter jet perfectly.

It wasn't just the cold data of the aircraft's parameters.

Every control device and every mechanical part felt like an extension of his own body.

This mysterious and profound sensation was truly wonderful.

Looking at the White Falcon darting about now, Chu Xuan felt it was like a playful brat waiting to be disciplined by an adult.

As Chu Xuan took control of the fighter jet again, he found he could command it as easily as his own limbs; the cold sensation of operating machinery was gone.

Chu Xuan adjusted the direction.

The fighter jet no longer chose to stay far away from the White Falcon to fight, instead remaining at a distance of over fifty meters while maneuvering and circling in the sky.

“What are you trying to Steal?”

Chu Xuan sneered.

He had long known that Azure Dragon possessed the Transcendent Skill, Steal, but it was only something the other had copied.

However, skills that did not belong to one's own sequence could only be leveled up to Rank 3 at most.

According to Chu Xuan's knowledge, the maximum range of a Rank 3 Steal skill was thirty meters.

None of Azure Dragon's trump cards were secrets to Chu Xuan.

Suddenly, the fighter jet pulled away to over a hundred meters and fired a Dogfight Missile.

The White Falcon seemed to have been on guard, wanting to exhaust the missiles mounted on the fighter jet; at this moment, it dodged once more using its superior maneuverability.

But the Dogfight Missile followed it like a shadow; no matter how the White Falcon banked or dove, it remained firmly locked on.

“Now!”

Chu Xuan's eyes were cold and sharp. Seizing the opportunity, he piloted the fighter jet into a dive while simultaneously...

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of violent roars exploded.

The 23mm Twin-barrel Autocannon on the fighter's belly suddenly spat fire, unleashing nearly two hundred rounds in an instant.

The White Falcon didn't even have time to turn into flames before the dense barrage of bullets rained down on it. Its entire body was blasted backward by the autocannon rounds, erupting in dazzling sparks and thick smoke.

Every single bullet hit its mark!

At the same time, the Dogfight Missile detonated with a boom.

The White Falcon's body trembled, feathers flying as its pristine white wings were scorched black.

Boom! Boom!

In an instant, another Dogfight Missile roared in, exploding against the White Falcon like an inseparable shadow.

Amidst the massive flames and smoke, a charred figure tumbled downward, flapping its wings in a desperate attempt to fly again.

Immediately following was a PL-12 Missile, trailing a plume of fire as it streaked through the rain clouds and roared toward its target, striking the charred body with unerring precision.

BOOM—!!

A massive fireball bloomed in the sky. The shockwave tore through layers of rain, sending countless feathers mixed with fragments of flesh and blood flying in all directions.

As for the White Falcon, it was now a scorched mass, no longer resembling a bird of prey nor having any human form. Still trailing billowing black smoke, it spiraled down from an altitude of nearly three hundred meters toward a patch of wasteland below.

High in the sky, Chu Xuan piloted the fighter jet. Through the infrared imaging of the targeting System, he saw a high-heat mass that barely retained a human shape lying motionless in a crater below.

“Is he dead? [Future Tang Zheng] seemed to have said that the rewards for killing Azure Dragon wouldn't be worse than slaying a Specter of the same Rank, yet no rewards have appeared yet...”

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed. He knew well how insidious Azure Dragon was; he couldn't afford to let his guard down at any time.

Even if the opponent had been reduced to a pile of mush.

“I'll give you two more for good measure!” Confirming the target's position, Chu Xuan pressed the ground-attack button.

Swoosh—! Swoosh—!

The last two Air-to-ground Missiles fell like meteors, slamming into the crater below one after another. The massive explosions expanded the newly formed hole and plowed through the surrounding ground.

Flames shot into the sky, but they weren't the unique crimson fire; they were the flames of an explosion.

While thick smoke was still billowing below, Chu Xuan finally received a System notification.

[You have killed World Traitor · Azure Dragon!]

[Your spirituality value +1500]

[Current spirituality value: 2334]

He's finally dead!!

Still in the fighter jet, Chu Xuan's eyes blazed with light as he clenched his fist tightly.

In the next moment, Chu Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After dying many times in dreams and repeatedly failing to escape Haicheng, even when he had given Tang Zheng 1000 points of spirituality value in the dream to activate the Fighting God State, he had still been no match for his opponent.

Azure Dragon's various abilities were endless. Even with the ability to preview the future in dreams and communicate with [Future Tang Zheng], in the early stages, he couldn't even figure out the other's identity.

He had been in a passive position the entire time.

Azure Dragon's death in reality was quite pathetic.

But in the dreams, Chu Xuan had suffered countless setbacks. Now that he had finally taken his revenge, he felt immensely refreshed, having at last eliminated this scourge.

Meanwhile, the System rewards continued!

[Detected that you have killed a World Traitor for the first time. Extra reward: 500 spirituality value! You may choose one of the following three rewards:]

1. health points limit permanently increased by 50 points.

2. spirituality value limit permanently increased by 100 points.

3. Base Neural Reaction Speed permanently increased by one percent (Note: No Rank or tier restrictions).

Seeing these rewards, the corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up, and his eyes sparkled.

I've made a profit!

A huge profit!

This time, he had spent a large amount of spirituality value, skill points, and jiyue crystals. Now, not only had he recouped all his costs, but he had also made quite a bit more; it was simply a massive haul.

[Please choose within ten seconds; exceeding the time limit will be considered a forfeiture. Countdown starting...]

[Ten!]

[Nine!]

[...]

After a brief thought, Chu Xuan chose the third option.

For the first reward, health points could be increased later by raising stamina.

For the second reward, the spirituality value limit would also increase with Rank and spirit attribute improvements. Furthermore, he now had the spirit Pearl, which could store up to 1000 points of spirituality value, making an increase in the limit optional for him now.

On the contrary, for the third reward, Chu Xuan had already noticed from his previous experience with allocating points that increasing the agility attribute also improved Neural Reaction Speed somewhat, but this reward offered a permanent percentage increase.

This alone was worth paying more attention to.

Especially since there was a "Note" at the end.

No Rank or tier restrictions?

Then there was no need to think further; he had to choose this!

[Your base Neural Reaction Speed has been permanently increased by one percent.]

As this System notification appeared, Chu Xuan felt as if a nerve in his brain had suddenly tightened, like a wound-up spring.

Then it returned to normal, as if nothing had changed.

But Chu Xuan faintly felt that, compared to before, his vision seemed clearer and more transparent now.

There was no time to feel how his body differed from before, because the System rewards weren't over yet!

[Recovered a portion of the True Authority "Assimilation (Incomplete)" from the Lord of All Spirits. Extra reward: rule fragment X1.]

[Recovered the Talent skills "Copy" and "Hunting." Extra reward: rule fragment X2]
