Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

How could these skills combined be so abnormal? Xu Jiawei felt disgusted with herself.

She couldn't understand it unless she fought herself. After fighting like this, she was furious. She cursed and fought at the same time. At this moment, she finally empathized with the priests she had killed. This was probably the only time she empathized with those priests.

Fortunately, the puppet's skill release speed is very slow, basically taking about two seconds, so it wasn't disgusting enough to make me feel that disgusted.

Xu Jiawei instantly used Photon Meteor, which slammed into the puppet. Golden flames exploded from the puppet, burning away the puppet which had very little health left. Xu Jiawei did not stop, and immediately had Xiao Fen activate her domain to cover the entire space.

She is well aware of her weaknesses and knows that dealing with mycelial regeneration is easy; she just needs a wide-range skill to eliminate all the regenerating spores. Little Pink is perfect for this task, as its area of ​​effect deals continuous damage and leaves no place untouched. Other wide-range skills will also have gaps, so it's better for Little Pink to do it.

However, Xu Jiawei herself did not relax. She looked around warily until she heard the mechanical voice of the remnant soul, at which point she breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that it was over.

"Congratulations on clearing level 8. Level 9 will begin in half an hour."

Xu Jiawei was slightly taken aback. Finally, she had time to rest. She was exhausted after passing through eight levels in a row, not to mention that she had been running for her life the whole time.

Xu Jiawei poured herself a bottle of stamina potion to restore her condition, then drank a bottle of mental potion before sitting down on the ground.

The final level gave a half-hour break. In the first eight levels, even when facing their own puppets, there was no time to rest, which proves that the final level is definitely difficult, hence the ample break time.

Xu Jiawei closed her eyes to rest, and soon half an hour passed before she opened them.

"The ninth trial is about to begin," came the voice of the remnant soul.

Whether it was Xu Jiawei's imagination or not, her voice, which originally sounded like a machine's remnant, now seemed to have a hint of emotion.

Xu Jiawei focused her gaze on the remnant soul, and then was surprised to find that the remnant soul was also looking at her, and seemed to be raising an almost imperceptible smile.

Xu Jiawei was certain she hadn't misread anything; it was as if the remnant soul had come back to life.

Xu Jiawei hadn't recovered from the fact that the remnant soul had laughed like a machine when she saw the remnant soul walk off the stage after speaking, draw out a giant sword about 1.5 meters long, and slowly raise it above its head.

"Defeat me, the final challenge."

Xu Jiawei was prepared for this, since the eighth level was essentially fighting herself. What kind of difficulty would be worthy of the ninth level? Only Vulcan himself could handle it.

The system's voice then rang out.

[Ding! Player has encountered a level 74 boss, Vulcan's Shadow (boss level is related to player level.)]

Xu Jiawei was taken aback, then couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Oh, system, you're still alive."

[Ding, the magnetic field here is unusual, making it difficult for the system to enter.] The system couldn't help but explain. Seeing that it had been disconnected again, it immediately expended energy to break through the magnetic field here, fearing that something might happen to Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei seemed to be deep in thought, as if the system was paying more and more attention to her.

This is a good thing. Although she is being targeted by the Dark God, she is also being watched by the system, so at least she won't die inexplicably.

However, for now, let's clear the final level. The remnant soul's expression became more lively, as if the God of Fire had regained consciousness and stood in front of Xu Jiawei.

Even though it's a god, if its level is the same as mine, it's not impossible to fight it.

Previously, Xu Jiawei had always challenged opponents of higher levels. Now, she has the opportunity to compete against someone of the same level, who is also very strong. This is an excellent experience for her.

She dodged the attack, but the giant blade struck the ground, cracking it open. The power was immense; it seemed she couldn't fight it head-on.

Xu Jiawei used ranged skills directly, first using Parasitic Spores to control the enemy, and then immediately using Photon Meteor, but the damage from Photon Meteor was negligible.

As expected, this Vulcan is resistant to light-type skills. Xu Jiawei narrowed her eyes. It seems she can't use light-type skills anymore. So, apart from parasitic spores, she doesn't seem to have any other attack skills.

No, there's more. Besides skills, she also has talents. She can use her talents to deal damage. She tried to plant mushrooms on the remnant soul, but the mushrooms withered as soon as they grew.

It seemed that this remnant soul was very familiar with this move and knew how to deal with it. When Xu Jiawei saw that this move was not working, she directly planted destruction mushrooms on the ground and used this large-scale mushroom skill.

After planting the mushrooms, Vulcan immediately began clearing them from the ground. He seemed to frown; this skill was too annoying.

With a single swing of his longsword, a large patch of mushrooms vanished. Xu Jiawei immediately caused the mushrooms to explode, and then continued planting more mushrooms.

The so-called "no harm from smoke" principle proved true; the explosion did not cause him any injury.

Xu Jiawei did not lose heart and kept planting mushrooms. This time, she did not detonate the mushrooms, but instead used the Spirit Attachment Technique, a skill she had not used for a long time.

The Destruction Mushrooms grew arms and legs and rushed towards the smoke and dust. They were very fast and pounced on Vulcan together. Vulcan swung his giant sword, and the Destruction Mushrooms jumped up to dodge.

Vulcan seemed to have not expected these mushrooms to be so fast. Seeing that he had not eliminated the mushrooms with one attack, he immediately retreated.

The mushrooms gave chase, and the distance between Vulcan and the mushrooms closed. Suddenly, the remnant soul of Vulcan raised his hand, and a golden fireball condensed in his palm, which he smashed towards the mushrooms of destruction.

With a loud "boom," the fireball collided with the mushroom, which emitted a dazzling light and then exploded, without causing any damage to the Vulcan.

After dealing with the mushrooms, the remnant soul of the Vulcan immediately changed direction and flew towards Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei's third wave of mushrooms also sprouted, and she charged towards Vulcan with her short legs. Xu Jiawei couldn't help but think to herself, "Summoners are so much more comfortable. I don't even have to fight them myself."

And then there's Vulcan. He truly lives up to his reputation as a god. Even at only level 74, he's incredibly strong. This is the first time she's encountered someone of the same level who can fight her to a standstill.

Previously, I had fought her to a standstill, and I was at least 10 levels higher than her.

However, fighting the Vulcan is not as disgusting as fighting his own puppet, because the Vulcan's skills are too straightforward and honest. Although strong, they are not this abnormal.

Vulcan was unable to get close to Xu Jiawei, so Xu Jiawei just kept attacking him from a distance, and also used parasitic spores to sneak up on him and slow him down.

Soon, Vulcan was wounded; it was left by a Destruction Mushroom that had broken through his defenses and smashed into him.

After being injured, Vulcan unleashed another skill, but it was blocked by an explosion.

More mushrooms broke through the defenses, and explosions were heard. Xu Jiawei immediately used parasitic spores to attack, killing 10 parasitic spores in one second.

Vulcan's life rapidly declined. After being parasitized by parasitic spores, mushrooms were just about to grow when flames erupted from Vulcan's body, burning the parasitic spores to ashes.

Xu Jiawei almost forgot that flames are the bane of mushrooms. The parasitic spores were burned away instantly, so it seems that continuous damage is no longer effective.
