Free Web NovelRed Jade's mentality was greatly affected by Mingxi's severe injury; besides a strong desire to rapidly increase its strength, it also developed a strong need for its own characteristic growth.
Therefore, among the Ghost Nightmares it obtained, there were a full 14 Characteristic Prime Crystals, a number that, if placed in the real world, could cause a major Earthquake in the Alliance.
Among its four characteristics, Knight's Code was the first to be raised to SSS+, using 3 Prime Crystals.
The characteristic «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» function became: when the loyal King encounters a life-threatening danger, it automatically activates to bear all damage, and in this state, its defense is 500% of the original.
But Red Jade was not satisfied.
What good is increasing its defensive ability?
The King could forcefully interrupt Knight's Code with a single thought; it didn't need that!
So, feigning not seeing the hesitant Mingxi, it stubbornly used all remaining Prime Crystals to enhance Knight's Code.
SSS+ is already the highest level characteristic?
No, that's not right.
It knew that SSS+ was merely a threshold for characteristic levels.
Because among Transcendent creatures, there still exists a hidden characteristic level, called—
“Supreme Level.”
Which is to say, Supreme Characteristics.
“Master, this Supreme Characteristic is not awakened; only when an existing characteristic evolves to the peak of SSS+, and then undergoes its own tempering and receives fortuitous encounters—in short, a combination of accumulated experience and dumb luck—is there a slim hope of breaking through to a Supreme Characteristic.”
That is to say, all Supreme Characteristics evolve from ordinary characteristics.
No characteristic is born Supreme.
Only then did Mingxi understand the reason for Red Jade's stubbornness.
It wanted Knight's Code to break through to Supreme, even with bottomless consumption and slim hope.
“Characteristic Prime Crystals are 100% successful in raising the level of ordinary characteristics, but whether they can make an ordinary characteristic break through to the Supreme Level, I am not sure.”
Fortunately, hard work pays off.
When 12 Characteristic Prime Crystals were consumed, Red Jade succeeded.
When Knight's Code transformed into a Supreme Level, it seemed to evolve; purple energy swirled around it, the corker condensed from the power of the contract around its neck turned red-gold, three golden badges appeared on its right side, and the two attached ribbons on its left side also transformed into two living flame ribbons.
A terrifying power stirred.
【Characteristic: Supreme · Knight's Code
Unlocked Badges: Guardian, Valor, Sacrifice;
Guardian Badge: When the King encounters a life-threatening danger, it automatically activates to bear all damage, and in this state, its defense is 800% of the original;
Valor Badge: When the King refuses the Guardian state, the Valor Badge can be actively activated to absorb 60% of the damage the King takes, while granting the King 100% of its own energy value as defense;
Sacrifice Badge: When the King refuses the Guardian state, the Sacrifice Badge can be actively activated to absorb 80% of the damage the King takes, while burning its own lifespan to grant the King an absolute defense Barrier until the crisis is resolved or the lifespan is exhausted;
Note: Once activated, the Sacrifice Badge will no longer be restricted by any contract rules; use with caution.】
Supreme Characteristics have no level distinction; they only awaken different indicators based on the characteristic.
The indicators for Supreme · Knight's Code are the badges.
Mingxi sighed.
Red Jade's characteristic indeed became stronger, and it was ridiculously strong.
As long as Red Jade didn't die, Mingxi would absolutely not die.
But due to the special nature of the Sacrifice Badge, it also made her lose her initiative.
She truly didn't need her pet to sacrifice for her, and by burning its lifespan at that!
However, Red Jade's racial genes determined its unyielding personality.
Mingxi could only try to guide it, making it promise not to activate the Sacrifice Badge unless absolutely necessary!
Red Jade did give her a promise.
But Mingxi didn't think this promise would have much effect; Red Jade's spirit of guardianship was ingrained in its bones, and once she encountered danger, its string of rationality would instantly snap.
So, all Mingxi could do was to become stronger herself, to make Red Jade believe that no matter how strong the opponent, they couldn't harm her.
The remaining two Characteristic Prime Crystals were used by Red Jade on the King's Bedroom, raising it to C-, making its internal space larger and more exquisite.
Finally, there was Black Pearl, which showed the most obvious changes.
It completely transformed its appearance.
Still in a youthful form, but its physique was noticeably more robust.
Eight-pack abs, a lean waist, a V-cut, plus a handsome face that could be sweet or cool; aside from not having long legs, the youth was simply the ultimate 'milk wolf' type.
However, its black hair had turned into a black mist state; it still felt soft and smooth to the touch, but it looked like an ethereal, Float Ghost-type mist, and it was very long, capable of spreading out like a world. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
At the same time, a bracelet-like ornament appeared on its right arm.
It was three fingers wide, gleaming gold, intricately carved with patterns, and on the outermost side, a walnut-sized Black Pearl was embedded.
The Black Pearl was not translucent; instead, it was a dense darkness, as if it contained a large amount of energy internally, looking somewhat like a dark energy crystal at first glance.
In fact, the Black Pearl on this armlet was indeed a type of energy crystal, but as a companion to a Transcendent creature, it certainly couldn't be an ordinary energy crystal.
Instead, it was a recyclable energy companion crystal.
It stored energy equal to Black Pearl's total energy value, and it would automatically replenish when Black Pearl's energy consumption reached 80%.
The energy consumed by the black crystal would also recover and replenish over time.
This was equivalent to Black Pearl having its own charging bug, greatly enhancing its endurance in battle.
The fish tail showed little change; only the feeling of those three-dimensional fish scales became more dangerously cold, but where one could originally see tiny mermaids inside when looking closely, they were now all invisible.
The scales had completely blackened.
Black Pearl was previously A'tinos in an incomplete state, but now it was not.
