Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

However, the inability to use the Light attribute was like cutting off her own arm. This trial made her realize that she had too few mushroom-type attack skills. Only Parasitic Spore had attack power, and most of the others were support skills.

The parasitic spores landed on the puppet, and the puppet was covered in mushrooms. Its speed also slowed down, and soon the puppet collapsed completely.

Immediately afterwards, the remnant soul's emotionless voice rang out, "Congratulations on clearing the first level. The second level is about to begin."

Seeing that the second level was about to begin, Xu Jiawei immediately asked, "Senior, how many levels are there in total?" If there were dozens or hundreds of levels, that would be terrible. Even if her body could handle it, her mind wouldn't be able to.

The remnant soul seemed to be stuck, taking a long time to respond: "There are nine levels in total. You can get a reward after passing all nine levels."

This doesn't seem to be a remnant soul, but rather like a pre-programmed sequence. In any case, this remnant soul gives Xu Jiawei a sense of inhumanity.

The second challenge began immediately. The doll that Xu Jiawei had damaged was quickly reassembled, and after a fiery red pattern flashed across its body, it became brand new again.

Xu Jiawei exclaimed that the puppet was quite good, as it could be reused.

The puppet rushed towards Xu Jiawei's face at lightning speed, seemingly faster and even stronger.

Its level directly increased to level 55. Xu Jiawei was prepared, because logically speaking, the difficulty of clearing levels would only increase, and the puppet becoming faster and stronger was within her expectations.

Although the puppets became stronger, not by much, Xu Jiawei used the same method to eliminate them.

"Congratulations on passing level 2. Level 3 is about to begin."

Xu Jiawei hadn't even caught her breath when the third level began immediately. This time, the puppet leveled up to 60. The puppet's strange movements were now making Xu Jiawei feel a bit troubled. If the puppet's level continued to increase, wouldn't she have to face a puppet that was over level 80?

Thinking about this now is just asking for trouble; let's deal with the immediate problem first.

......

Destroying the puppet quickly unlocked the fourth level. Continuing forward, Xu Jiawei hadn't had a moment's rest after so many intense battles. As soon as a puppet was destroyed, it would be repaired and the next level would begin.

By the sixth level, the puppet's level was higher than Xu Jiawei's, making it somewhat difficult for her to deal with. She could still persevere, but the intense battle left her physically and mentally exhausted. Just seeing the puppet made her feel physically and mentally drained.

After the seventh level, Xu Jiawei was sweating profusely and panting heavily.

When the remnant soul announced the start of the eighth level, Xu Jiawei looked at the puppet in surprise. This time, the puppet didn't move. Did the eighth level have a new move?

The space to her left lit up, and a puppet dressed very similarly to her appeared in her field of vision. Xu Jiawei was about to burst out laughing. Was she going to have to fight herself again in this level?

Wait, why did she say "again"? It seems like we've experienced this before. Is this puppet also imitating her moves? But now she's exhausted, how could she possibly defeat "herself"?

Needless to say, his own skills are incredibly overpowered. But can he really win now?

Seeing the puppet attacking her, Xu Jiawei immediately dodged. Only now did Xu Jiawei realize how disgusting her skills were when combined. She had never known before, only that she was not strong enough.

Now that she's faced it herself, she's about to vomit from disgust. It's indestructible, truly indestructible. Its recovery ability is simply insane, and its mana seems to have no limit. She finally managed to unleash a burst of power, intending to kill it instantly, but its invincible body immediately triggered.

Fortunately, the puppet's skill casting speed was not as fast as hers. She was currently at a god-level speed, and no matter how strong the puppet was, it would never exceed the god-level. Therefore, its casting speed was much slower than Xu Jiawei's.

This gave Xu Jiawei an advantage, allowing her to unleash the puppet's golden body first. Once the puppet activated its golden body, it instantly initiated the Light Sacrifice.

Xu Jiawei was shocked, surprised, and a little bewildered: "Holy crap! They even learned this trick?"

The self-destructing truck rushed up, and Xu Jiawei used the one-time shield given to her by Bai Yu without hesitation. Then, she looked warily at the puppet that was releasing the Light Sacrifice again. Xu Jiawei could only run away as fast as she could, trying to delay as long as possible and exhaust the puppet's golden body. That would be her biggest advantage.

Moreover, her golden body had already been used up in the trap passage, so what use was it now?

In other words, now that she is in her half-finished form, she has no chance of winning against her fully formed form. But Xu Jiawei suddenly thought of something. She was able to take out the equipment that Bai Yu gave her for defense, but the puppet couldn't. Does that mean that the puppet cannot replicate equipment?

Not bad. This puppet ability doesn't seem as powerful as the previous copying ability. However, what Xu Jiawei didn't know was that the previous copying technique was powerful because her level was low. If she went now, the mirror monster would only be able to copy half of her if she succeeded.

It's already good that the puppet can replicate Xu Jiawei's appearance 80% accurately. Now she can consider fighting the puppet with props. Xu Jiawei directly took out her weapon and then slashed at it. Rainbow, the support mushroom, Little Pink, and the red earthworm helped her, while Little Gray cheered from the side.

The puppeteer couldn't replicate the pets, but this self-destruct skill was something that only Rainbow could withstand for a while; the other pets couldn't last a single round. Now, Rainbow was simply relying on her immortality to tough it out, and Xu Jiawei could only pray that time would pass quickly.

The first invincibility effect has finally worn off. Xu Jiawei just needs to repeat the operation to trigger the invincibility again. The bad news is, there are still two more invincibility attempts.

Xu Jiawei could only complain from the side: "This is too disgusting, how can anyone live like this?" Xu Jiawei was disgusted by this recovery ability and damage immunity. How could it be so disgusting? She seemed to have forgotten who this puppet was imitating.

Even if Xu Jiawei realized that it was imitating her, it didn't stop her from cursing that it was disgusting.

This skill is good when it's on herself, but if it's on someone else, Xu Jiawei will just curse and say it's disgusting. That's right, she's that hypocritical. So what if she's hypocritical about herself?

After finally forcing out all three instances of her invincibility, Rainbow had used her immortality countless times. Xu Jiawei's survival was largely thanks to Rainbow's immortality.

Xu Jiawei hoped that the final golden body would end quickly. With her prayers, the golden body ended, and she immediately used a high-burst skill again, hitting the puppet. The puppet paused for a moment, and then turned into a wisp of smoke.

It was finally over, and she relaxed.

Wait a minute! Why hasn't the remnant soul announced the completion of the trial yet? Could it be that the puppet hasn't been killed yet?

Xu Jiawei suddenly remembered her other life-saving skill: mycelial regeneration. Could it be that this guy has actually come back to life?

She immediately became alert to her surroundings. Suddenly, a figure rushed towards her from a distance. Xu Jiawei dodged it immediately. She couldn't believe that it could actually come back to life. How disgusting!
