241: Chapter 241 Power Fusion! The Second Stage of the Heavenly Dao-Level Sword Puppet?

General Protector Zhang Haotian sighed in his heart.

With a heavy heart, he looked back at the experience notification after the latest kill.

Just one glance, and his eyes bulged out.

"Team member [Zhang Jian] killed the planet-level tier 3 BOSS monster [Dark Annihilation Treant Lord]."

"Based on team contribution distribution, you have gained 10.692 billion experience points."

"Level-gap bonus effect activated, you gained an additional 32.076 billion experience points."

"Under the effect of team member [Zhang Jian]'s [Experience Torrent] skill, you gained an additional 10.10394 billion experience points."

"Team member [Zhang Jian]'s [Experience Torrent] specified effect activated, you gained an additional 12.35602788 trillion experience points."

"Under team member [Zhang Jian]'s [Experience Torrent] max-level trait, you gained an additional 24.73226364 trillion experience points."

Seeing the first two notifications, General Protector Zhang Haotian was still a bit puzzled.

The base experience was clearly higher than before.

It was normal for a tier 3 BOSS to be much higher than a tier 1 normal monster.

He hadn't seen the last few lines clearly at first.

He thought it had changed from a few hundred million to over a billion.

But when he looked closer...

Trillion!

Wasn't this a unit above hundred million?

Did it represent "trillion"?

He couldn't believe it.

Was he hallucinating?

He blinked and looked at Zhang Jian.

As if saying...

"Didn't you just say the experience was normal?"

"Turning around and cheating immediately, you call that normal?"

Beside him, Xuan Jizi saw his stunned expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"Stunned, aren't you?"

Yun Haiyao also said gently, "Now you know why it's said that having Zhang Jian carry you is an opportunity that money can't buy, right?"

General Protector Zhang Haotian was instantly overwhelmed by huge happiness.

It really was a trillion!

Just now, the kill of a single planet-level tier 3 BOSS, relying on Zhang Jian's entry specified effect, brought him over 37 trillion in experience!

He calculated silently.

Ever since he reached the third job change Rank 95 and became a General Protector, it had taken a full two and a half years to reach Rank 97 and save up a little experience.

Cumulatively, it wasn't even 20 billion.

And this 37 trillion was over 1,800 times 20 billion!

In other words, if he relied on his own accumulation to get this much experience, it would take over 4,600 years!

General Protector Zhang Haotian couldn't help but gasp.

Did the big shot's casual strike surpass his own efforts of several lifetimes?

He couldn't help but think of an idiom: "When one person attains the Dao, their pets and chickens ascend to heaven."

Before, he thought this term applied quite well to himself. As a General Protector, all his relatives and friends naturally prospered, even without him engaging in nepotism.

Now it seemed, he was the chicken or pet!

His gratitude towards Zhang Jian was indescribable.

Subconsciously, his knees went weak, and he was about to kneel, but was stopped by a look from Zhang Jian.

"Don't waste time!"

"Upgrade the Sword Puppet and see if it's useful."

If anyone else had spoken to him in such a cold tone, General Protector Zhang Haotian would have been furious.

But with Zhang Jian saying it, he subconsciously stood at attention and said respectfully, "Yes!"

"You consumed 27.78 billion experience points to upgrade [Heavenly Dao Sword Soul] to Rank 71."

"You consumed 29.9825 billion experience points to upgrade [Heavenly Dao Sword Soul] to Rank 72."

...

"You consumed 50.6425 billion experience points to upgrade [Heavenly Dao Sword Soul] to Rank 80."

"You consumed 89.9325 billion experience points to upgrade [Heavenly Dao Sword Soul] to Rank 90."

Streaks of golden light kept floating up.

General Protector Zhang Haotian's eyes became increasingly excited.

The experience consumption that once made his heart race now felt like nothing.

Over 10 billion experience points were lost continuously, but the unit on the panel remained unmoved.

Until...

"You consumed 141.57 billion experience points to upgrade [Heavenly Dao Sword Soul] to Rank 99."

It was max Rank!

General Protector Zhang Haotian took a deep breath.

He glanced at the panel; there was still a reserve of 35 trillion in experience.

The massive consumption just now had only reduced it by a little over 2 trillion.

Suppressing his excitement, he followed Zhang Jian's instructions and first took a screenshot of the upgraded Sword Puppet's attributes and posted it in the team channel.

[Invincible Sword Puppet] (All-rounder)

Quality: Heavenly Dao-Grade

Rank: 99

Health: 10 billion

Attack: 100 million

Defense: 50 million

Skills: All-around Enhancement (LV99), Heavenly Dao Sword Soul (LV10), Heavenly Dao Sword Spirit (LV10)

Equippable: Empty [Main Weapon], Empty [Sub Weapon]

Hiss!

The Sword Puppet's attributes made Xuan Jizi hiss through his teeth.

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

Zhang Jian, however, looked calm.

"No matter how high the basic attributes are, they won't be very effective under the suppression of planet-level strength."

His words made Xuan Jizi straighten up.

That's right.

Such attributes could at most withstand a bit more and attack a bit higher.

But to say it could crush planet-level monsters, that was still not possible.

General Protector Zhang Haotian heard this and his expression dimmed.

Could it be that he could only hug the big shot's thigh and couldn't provide help to the team?

Just as General Protector Zhang Haotian was struggling, Xuan Jizi reminded him from the side, "I remember the Sword Puppet can be upgraded to 10 Ranks higher than oneself. Why don't you try upgrading it further?"

General Protector Zhang Haotian's eyes lit up.

However, when he performed the operation, he unexpectedly received a notification.

"Your Puppet is of Heavenly Dao-Grade and has currently reached the planet-level strength standard. Please choose whether to use the conventional upgrade method, or consume the corresponding Materials to perform a Fusion, which will allow it to enter the planet-level strength upgrade sequence."

"Conventional upgrade method consumption:"

"Experience consumption: 141.57 billion / 35.876535622535 trillion"

"Fusion method consumption:"

"Experience consumption: 14.1573 trillion / 35.876535622535 trillion."

"star core fragment consumption: 10 / 0."

This situation surprised everyone.

Xuan Jizi muttered that when he upgraded his, it was clearly just a matter of consuming experience.

Why was there an extra optional choice?

But Zhang Jian understood the reason in an instant.

The one he refined for Xuan Jizi before was only epic-grade, and after Rank 99, it was just a conventional strength upgrade.

But the one refined for General Protector Zhang Haotian was Heavenly Dao-Grade.

Not only did it have basic attribute bonuses from normal upgrades, but after Rank 99, it reached the requirement of 20,000 total attribute points, counting as quasi-planet-level.

It was normal for the upgrade conditions to be different.

And, Zhang Jian had another guess in his heart.

If Fusion required star core fragments, would upgrading the Sword Puppet after Rank 99 also allow it to directly increase its destructive power by a corresponding proportion, like Xuan Jizi and the others?

His eyes changed instantly.

If that were the case, the nature of the Sword Puppet would be completely different!

He couldn't wait to experiment immediately.

Coincidentally, General Protector Zhang Haotian had no stock of star core fragments.

Zhang Jian suggested that everyone pool some together to help General Protector Zhang Haotian's Sword Puppet advance first.

If it were anyone else, Xuan Jizi and the others would definitely not be interested in this proposal.

Such precious strategic resources were hard-earned, only a few pieces gathered after a foray, why should they help others first?

But with Zhang Jian saying so, they had no objections.

Without Zhang Jian, they wouldn't have their current strength, let alone the possibility of stepping out of the Water Blue Planet and facing the Universe in the future.

Whatever the big shot said, went!

The Sword Puppets Zhang Jian refined before, whether attack or defense type, all possessed multiple skill slots, and learning wasn't very restricted.

But this Heavenly Dao-Grade one only had three learnable skill positions.

And everyone already knew what to learn.

...

Starting this month, a minimum of two updates per day, hope everyone supports!
