Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Frost and Discharge

TL: Etude

Seeing the system prompt, Lin Hao’s eyes showed a hint of surprise and delight.

The next upgrade required nine million evolution points, but he still had five million evolution points remaining!

He was now fully able to meet the upgrade conditions!

“Level fifty-five, another gift pack to claim!”

“And it should bring me closer to becoming a flood dragon.”

“Maybe at level fifty-five, I’ll directly transform into a flood dragon!”

Thinking this, Lin Hao’s eyes shone with joy.

“First, let’s claim all the task rewards!”

Calming himself down, Lin Hao directly brought up the system’s task panel, clearly seeing two tasks emitting a golden glow.

It was obvious that the tasks were completely marked as finished.

Super difficult task: Devour a level 6 Ice Crystal Water Snake.

Super difficult task: Devour a level 6 Mutant Sea Eel King.

“Great, time to claim the rewards.”

This time, he didn’t return to the Hualong Pond to slowly claim the rewards, but instead, claimed them directly!

Congratulations to the host for acquiring the abilities Frost and Discharge.

Soon, with two clusters of light entering his body, Lin Hao faintly felt like something had been added to his body.

Frost: Sprays a stream of icy energy, causing freezing and frostbite effects. (Note: Flames on the body will reduce the frost effect by thirty percent. In snowy environments, the effect is increased by twenty percent). Additionally, the user has a certain immunity to frost energy.

Discharge: The body releases a strong electric current, with a certain immunity to electricity.

“They are both purple-quality skills!?”

“Not bad at all!”

Seeing the skill descriptions, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

He was in dire need of new skills, as his current attack methods were too limited. He could only release golden flames to cover his body and then engage in melee combat, at most spewing crimson flames.

But now, he could breathe frost and release electric currents!

“However, the note says flames on the body will reduce the frost effect by thirty percent.”

“So, in the state of the Golden Flame Body, spraying this icy energy will have a reduced effect.”

Seeing this, Lin Hao frowned slightly.

“Wait a minute!”

At that moment, Lin Hao seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up!

Frost Horns!

The Frost Horns were a pair of ice crystal-like horns, very sharp, that could actively turn the entire body into a frost state for a short period (during which fire abilities could not be used).

Carefully examining this ability, it allowed the whole body to transform into a frost state when activated!

“I haven’t used this ability yet.”

“When transformed into a frost state, will the frost ability be enhanced too!?”

Thinking this, Lin Hao became even more excited.

After calming down, he deactivated the Golden Flame Body state.

“Let’s try Discharge first!”

As he willed it, intense currents surged through his entire body in an instant!

Crackle!

Thick arcs of electricity continuously flickered across Lin Hao’s body!

The surrounding reefs were shattered by the electric energy Lin Hao released from his body.

“It seems pretty strong!”

“It’s a pity I can’t directly shoot out lightning energy!”

Watching the arcs of electricity emanating from his body, Lin Hao felt a surge of excitement.

“Discharge and Golden Flame Body should be able to be used simultaneously, right?”

With this thought, he willed the golden flames to continue erupting from his body.

Golden flames and thick electric arcs simultaneously enveloped his form!

“It really works!”

“But it consumes a lot of energy.”

These two skills had no cooldown, but continuously using them placed a considerable strain on his body.

“Now let’s try this.”

After ceasing the release of flames and electricity, Lin Hao willed it and for the first time actively used the ability granted by the Frost Horns.

In an instant, his entire body began to be covered by a layer of white frost at a speed visible to the naked eye!

An extremely cold temperature emanated from his body.

The seawater, which had become intensely hot due to the golden flames, turned cold again in a brief moment.

“Even the scales seem to have turned into frost.”

Looking at his body, he saw that it was covered entirely in frost!

Previously, this state seemed useless, so even though he had the Frost Horns for a while, Lin Hao had never used this ability before. “Let’s test it out.”

At this moment, he opened his mouth and shot a powerful blast of frost energy at the area in front of him!

The seabed rocks in that area were instantly frozen!

The surrounding seawater was also frozen in place.

“It seems quite effective. This frost state is like transforming into something else.”

Lin Hao couldn’t help but marvel at this new state.

Wait a minute!

There was also the reward for devouring the level 7 Lava Beast, which seemed to be a blood flame form, another transformative ability.

He just wasn’t sure how much of an enhancement it would bring.

“In the frost state, stamina is still consumed, but the rate of consumption is slow.”

“If there’s no fighting, maintaining this state for an entire day is no problem.”

As he felt the state of his body, Lin Hao muttered to himself.

Now, the two tasks on the task list were successfully completed.

Next, he could search for mutant salmon.

Devouring a hundred mutant salmon would also grant an experience chest!

“Huh?”

As Lin Hao turned and swam forward, he noticed a large, pitch-black hole in the seabed area ahead!

“What is this?”

Seeing this, Lin Hao was a bit surprised.

In front of the large hole, he could clearly see many enormous skeletons.

The bones of mutant creatures!

“Wait… could it be that these two mutant creatures were fighting over this ‘territory’?”

Lin Hao was curious.

He looked towards the dark hole. It sloped downwards, seemingly leading to the depths of the earth.

With his night vision, Lin Hao saw that it appeared to be a long passage!

Inside the passage, he could see numerous bones.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Hao swam directly in.

No wonder these two mutant creatures fought here for so long; it turned out there was a passage like this.

“Could they have been fighting over the ownership of this place?”

Thinking this, Lin Hao’s curiosity grew.

His strength had increased significantly, and with the ability to teleport, he felt confident despite the eeriness of the place.

“This is…”
