Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 380 Various Resources
After the main god's strengthening beam disappeared, Xu Feng closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

One after another, tangible and intangible objects appeared and disappeared around him, each radiating a terrifying pressure. Ordinary members of the East Sea Team had to return to their rooms to avoid the energy fluctuations emitted by those fantastical constructs.

When Xu Feng opened his eyes, Xiangzi asked curiously:
"How does it feel to upgrade the Illusion Technique skill to Double A rank?"

Shoko, Mei, and Zhao Yingkong were much stronger than the others. The three of them stayed in the square, experiencing the gap between themselves and the strongest member of the East Sea team.

Xiangzi knew that the Reality Materialization Fantasy Technique was Xu Feng's core skill.

"From the perspective of a single illusion, a double A-level illusion technique is not much stronger than an A-level skill. The main improvements are reduced consumption, extended duration of the illusion, and increased realism. However, these minor improvements can allow the illusion technique to develop some abilities."

Xu Feng explained in detail: "The effects of the fantasy constructs persist even after the fantasy constructs disappear. The firearms manufactured in the fantasy construct's workshop remain firearms even after the workshop disappears; they do not become scrap metal."

"After being upgraded from A-rank to double A-rank, the influence of this fantasy construct has been elevated to another level. For example, Gatanothor's black mist has the ability to corrode monsters and turn them into ancient monsters. The black mist I created in my fantasy also has this ability, and the ancient monsters that are ultimately affected can theoretically be transformed into black mist."

"Fantasy transforming into reality... In theory, this method can produce many items."

After Xu Feng upgraded his Reality Concretization Fantasy Technique to Double A level, he had many development directions in mind, but what he valued most was this production capability.

This will allow his cultivation speed to increase again.

Having a high enough foundation is more important than any fancy skills.

"Essentially, isn't this transformation between fantasy and reality a special kind of energy transformation?"

After spending a day in the solar flare, Zhao Yingkong pondered: "By synthesizing special energy from ordinary energy, just like cultivation, we can transform the substances in nature into our own use. However, the speed is much faster than normal cultivation."

Xu Feng nodded: "More or less."

"I'm only just starting to enhance it now. The upper limit of the double A-level Illusion Technique should be higher than we guessed. This skill will take some time to develop. We'll go back to the Ultraman Tiga world together for three months later."

"You also need time to develop your potential."

Xu Feng explained, "Although I helped you intercept Gatanothor's core energy, you haven't yet fully mastered that ability."

Xiangzi's avatar acquired the light gene of the stone giant and the dark essence of Gatanothor.

Mei's nascent world contained the spacetime realm of the golden dragon Goldras.

Zhao Yingkong also extracted some of Gatanothor's energy to solidify her foundation.

All three of them have made significant improvements this time, especially Xiangzi. If she can perfectly develop the ability to merge her external avatars, her strength may even rival that of Xu Feng.

Tiga world.

On their return trip, Xu Feng, Xiangzi, and Mei brought along not only Zao Ren but also their respective pets.

The tree, dog, and bird that Xu Feng prepared before entering the world of "The Hobbit" were very weak, not even as good as cannon fodder. When entering the reincarnation world, Xu Feng was too lazy to bring these pets.

However, there are many good things in this reincarnation world of Ultraman Tiga, and those good things are very suitable for improving the strength of these pets. For example, the stone statue of the ancient hunting dog Gedi is very suitable for Shoko's big yellow dog to fuse with.

I brought them with me when I returned to the cycle of reincarnation this time.

The big yellow dog's improvement went smoothly. It was easier for it to integrate the genes of the ancient hunting dog than for Xiangzi to become a giant of light. After becoming an ancient hunting dog, the big yellow dog could transform into a giant about fifty meters tall at Xiangzi's command.

The ancient hound's fighting power is much stronger than it was shown in the TV series—in the TV series, this hound only appeared to stop its corrupt master and did not use any killing moves at all.

Transforming into an ancient hunting dog, Big Yellow possesses abilities such as ultra-long-range tracking, super sonic attacks, powerful biting and swallowing capabilities, as well as light energy absorption and storage... When this little guy fights seriously, he can destroy a small mountain with a single blow.

Its greatest strength is not combat, but perception.

This ancient hound doesn't track with its sense of smell in the conventional sense, but rather with its energy attribute. It can easily distinguish various different energies, such as light, darkness, lightning, and fire. Each of these different energies carries a different aura in its perception.

Ordinary extraordinary beings cannot hide from its nose.

The only problem is that, like Ultraman, its battle time is limited; if it stays on Earth for a period of time, the timer on its chest will flash red.

Fortunately, when fighting alongside Xiangzi, Dahuang doesn't need to worry too much about this issue. Xiangzi's avatar can replenish its light energy at any time, greatly extending Dahuang's combat duration.

Mei's pet also received a significant boost.

In this world, there exists a gas called Zelda that can mutate ordinary creatures into monsters. It transformed a pet parrot into a giant monster, and then, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the monster transformed into a huge golden bird that flew into the universe.

The monster that the parrot transformed into wasn't strong; its basic physical attributes were even inferior to the mass-produced ancient elite soldier Zoga of Gatanothor. In "Ultraman Tiga," it was practically a bottom-tier monster. But what Xu Feng valued was its ability to undergo a rebirth.

Zelda no longer exists in this world.

However, Xu Feng gleaned the method of manufacturing this special substance from the past and then used it on Mei's pet crow.

Of course, before modifying Mei's pet crow, Xu Feng also conducted many experiments on ordinary creatures in this world, from completely simulating the birth process of the strange bird Sira to gradually improving the experimental procedures, and finally developing a surgical procedure that allows one to perfectly integrate Zelda gas while lying in the experimental chamber.

The so-called 'experimental chamber' is actually an 'acupoint' near the sun where a large amount of solar energy is gathered.

These 'acupoints' can provide the experimental subjects inside with an enormous amount of solar energy, allowing the people or objects undergoing the experiment to reach their most perfect state.

In the end, the little crow also mastered the ability to transform, and could transform into a giant bird nearly 100 meters tall.

Yes, the Zildar potion developed by Xu Feng is even more effective than the original. After all, one was just an experimental accident, while the other was an experiment with all conditions in place.

This pet is even more powerful in combat than the ancient hound.

When it spreads its wings, it can create a giant, ultra-high-temperature fireball with a radius of thousands of meters; when it flaps its wings, it can radiate flames powerful enough to melt all ordinary matter; it can also release beams of light in its behemoth form.

—The Yata Mirror fused within this crow was further enhanced after Xu Feng upgraded his Illusion Technique to Double A Rank. Moreover, the Sun Crow's mobility far surpasses that of the monster bird Sira in the story, reaching speeds of dozens of times the speed of sound in atmospheric conditions and even transforming into a beam of light moving at near-light speed in space.

While modifying the Sun Raven, Xu Feng discovered that the application value of Zelda Gas was even greater than expected. This substance could affect not only birds, but also most other organisms.

After its development, this special drug's specific function is to stimulate latent genes, allowing individuals to mutate and develop corresponding abilities based on their inner obsessions, ultimately guiding them to transform from chaotic genes.

During these three months, Xu Feng conducted experiments on vampires in the world of "Ultraman Tiga".

Zildar gas can also give vampires a kind of atavistic enhancement. Three vampires, with the help of the dark energy he provided, easily transformed into the behemoth form of the vampire god Shuranos and mastered several superpowers such as controlling darkness.

Most of the ordinary members of the East Sea Team have enhanced their vampire bloodline. With the help of the Zildar potion, their bloodline can be raised to another level.

Furthermore, most members of the East Sea team enhanced the incomplete Reality Marble, Beast King's Nest. The Zildar Gas could also affect the Beast Factors fused within Beast King's Nest, transforming the incomplete Reality Marble into a true Reality Marble.

Xu Feng felt that this improvement was worthwhile for the D-level side quests and 1000 reward points that his subordinates in the East China Sea team had contributed to him.

To allow the main god to undergo the same level of enhancement, it would require at least twenty times the effort.

Xu Feng's own pet, the tree-man, did not undergo any bloodline-level modification.

Xu Feng merely imagined a stronger, more powerful tree spirit, and used it to help the pet develop rapidly, much like transferring power to it.

This kind of development speed is no different from cheating... The energy absorbed by a cultivator who is close to the immortal realm is not even in the same league as the energy absorbed by a cultivator who is only at the Golden Core realm. If the latter cultivates at the same level as the former, the cultivation speed will naturally be extremely exaggerated.

"Even I'm a little envious of how fast this tree-man is growing!" Xiangzi stared at the towering tree that stood near the sun, tens of thousands of meters tall.

This giant tree can transform into a colossal tree-man to fight at any time.

"It's just accumulating energy. The reason it's been growing in size all this time is because its cultivation level can't support the energy, so it can only increase its capacity by making its body bigger."

It is much easier for plants to grow larger than for animals.

Even ordinary plants can reach an exaggerated size... Theoretically, an entire bamboo forest can be considered a single individual.

"Light and darkness... seem irreconcilable!"

Xiangzi gathered energy of different attributes in his two hands, and the two types of energy were clearly distinct.

"I still can't understand how Tiga transformed from a dark giant into a giant of light... Perhaps, the so-called light and darkness refer to something else, such as transforming from chaos and evil into justice."

"The light and darkness in the world of Ultraman Tiga have some similarities to the light and darkness referred to by the Force, but they are not the same in essence."

"In Star Wars, the light and dark forces seem to be opposites, but they are rooted in the same source. It is not very complicated to use these two energies in a unified way, so the Celestials could do this after mastering the Tai Chi Sword."

"Alas, if this externalized body did not have the Fibroprimal body to harmonize the two attributes of energy, it would have turned into a firework by now."

Xiangzi felt she was in a predicament; she had immense potential, but she was simply unable to realize it.

Limited by this predicament, she will have to enhance both light and darkness simultaneously when she ascends in the future. If the two become unbalanced, her body will suffer serious problems.

Currently, her main cultivation method has become Grade A Tai Chi.

The cultivation speed has slowed down considerably.

Of course, her current strength is not weak.

The energy of the light attribute grants her considerable defensive power; even a low-yield nuclear explosion can become her power source.

It can also be immune to most evil spells, and even mental attacks can be kept clear by the lotus platform composed of the light in the hearts of countless people.

The dark attribute greatly enhances her telekinetic abilities.

Having merged with the power of darkness, she seemed to have taken a shortcut to cultivate the eighth contemplation of the "Sixteen Contemplations of Pure Land Sutra." This shortcut itself could not allow her to obtain the spiritual light that the 'Buddha statue' should have, but she had already strengthened her mental power, which made her not need the inherent ability given by the eighth contemplation.

Now her telekinesis can easily flatten an island... This is a crude and skillless use; if she adds some technique, the destructive power of her telekinesis will be even more terrifying.

"The A-level martial art Tai Chi Sword can harmonize the energies of light and darkness. Higher-level techniques or skills can naturally harmonize your current situation."

Xu Feng analyzed, "If we simply utilize the energy of the two attributes of light and darkness, there are ways to apply them in this world."

"The essence of the Magus dynamic system is that the annihilation of protons and antiprotons generates energy. The new Magus dynamic system can also allow positive ions and antiions to react. We can refer to these designs to develop a power system that utilizes light energy and dark energy."

In the interstellar era, the biggest difference between power systems and attack systems lies in controllability.

"But the difference between light and dark energy is much greater than the difference between matter and antimatter!" Xiangzi recalled the information he had obtained from the dream world.

She naturally attempted to utilize these two different types of energy through the Magus power system.

"The so-called light and darkness are getting closer..."

For a moment, Xiangzi couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

"Closer to 'nothing'."

Xu Feng said softly, "Actually, the biggest problem is that you don't have enough control, so you need some external assistance."

He pulled a ring out of the Tun Tun factory.

"The One Ring obtained in The Hobbit world can help you control energy."
