Chapter 944 - 613: Husbands’ Fifth Rebirth (Part 2)

Chapter 944: Chapter 613: Husbands’ Fifth Rebirth (Part 2)

The cost is that one of the couple has to enter the dream to battle the enemy, while the other stays awake and continues to fight in reality.

This isn’t some kind of split personality; rather, it’s something perhaps only couples can achieve — multitasking.

After checking the couple’s panel, Li Pu felt a sense of relief.

Because as of now, all the summoned beasts he could reincarnate had reached level 5.

The next task was simple: grinding related items and leveling them up to max.

Once maxed, the surplus items would mainly be used for leveling up Ah Hui.

He was determined to win the adventure team qualification competition in over two months.

After tidying up, Li Pu prepared to leave the training field.

"Huh?"

But he soon sensed one of his summoned beasts approaching.

And unexpectedly... it was Caocao.

Having not seen Caocao for almost a month, Li Pu’s first words were: "You’re still alive."

Honestly, he was quite surprised.

This guy’s ability to survive was beyond expectations.

[Caocao!]

Caocao: Summoner, I’ve missed you!

"You still remember to come back, now be honest, where have you been these days."

Caocao dove at him but was met with a kick from Li Pu.

[Ouch, hey Caocao!]

It rolled back.

[Caocao, Caocao, Caocao!]

Caocao: Ben Cao was on a secret journey!

Caocao pushed its deformed, sunken head with both hands to restore it.

Judging by its demeanor, it seemed like it was keeping a secret from Li Pu.

"Forget it, do as you wish."

"Just don’t cause any trouble for me."

Li Pu wasn’t really interested either.

It had said the same thing when it unified the underground gangs.

Probably found some new way of playing house again.

"By the way, come over here."

Just then, he thought of something and called Caocao over.

During the Hundred Races Town arena, he acquired two useful items,

from the Sea Urchin Eye, [Telekinesis Spirit Manual]: Immune to erosion effects, increases intelligence

and from the Crocodile Beast, [Gigantification]: Increases size when activated

[Telekinesis Spirit Manual] goes without saying, definitely meant to be merged with [Willpower].

He pressed Caocao’s head and got to work directly.

Buzz!

After a flash of light, its skill changed.

[Willpower]: Immune to fear/illusion technique/poison/slowing/imprisonment/curse/erosion/strong light blindness/mental attack effects, greatly increased strength, underwater breathing, slightly increased intelligence

"..."

Seeing the originally increased intelligence become slightly increased intelligence, Li Pu was somewhat speechless.

It seemed the rescue of Caocao was still a long journey.

Hopefully, this slight increase would make it mature and serious in the future, rather than become more sly and opportunistic.

But fortunately, after numerous enhancements and fusions, [Willpower] finally went from A-level to S-level.

Not that there was any major qualitative leap, mainly that it at least looked better.

As for the final [Gigantification], it actually left him a bit conflicted.

Creatures like Bu Bu gain little from physical size increase.

Only Caocao and the couple, who fight using physical bodies, can best utilize the advantages of [Gigantification].

But considering combat style and preview results, the couple’s compatibility with this skill isn’t high.

So Li Pu wondered if Caocao could have this skill.

But Caocao’s problem was obvious — it didn’t have available skill slots to learn this skill.

Thus, he decided to preview each skill one by one.

[Snailgrass]: Launches a power-increasing attack, action slows down during the process

↓

[Snailgrass]: Launches a power-increasing gigantified attack, action slows down during the process

This increase felt meaningless, because in combination with [Godzilla Force], [Snailgrass] already can gigantify.

[Entanglement]: Generates vines

↓

[Entanglement]: Generates gigantic vines

For vines, it’s also hardly significant.

Because if gigantic vines were desired, they could actually be woven together, which Caocao’s current control power could achieve.

If fused with [Gigantification], it would be stuck at the word "gigantic," losing its original finesse.

[Willpower] is even more needless to say, it’s a passive skill, incompatible with actively triggering [Gigantification].

Even if forcibly fused, transforming it into an active skill would lead to Li Pu being unable to borrow it.

[Small Fireball]: Releases a controllable Nether Blue Flame for attack, the flame can transform into healing nourishment for oneself

↓

[Small Fireball]: Releases a controllable gigantic Nether Blue Flame for attack

Another incompatible one is [Small Fireball], directly replacing its original healing effect.

This was Caocao’s only sustain survival skill.

And as for [Godzilla Force], originally Li Pu thought it would be the most likely to have high compatibility, he was disappointed.

If the originally gigantic Godzilla phantom became even bigger, it should be quite formidable, right?

Turns out he was wrong, the compatibility between the two skills was incredibly low, and the previewed result showed no change in effect text, and [Godzilla Force] even dropped from S-level to A-level.

"Is the only option to fuse this skill?"

Li Pu looked at Caocao’s last skill, [Hundred Mushroom Envoy].

This skill appeared initially outside the plan.

Add to that having Ah Hui specializing in Burst Soldier Style, it never got much attention.

But honestly, the summoned individual mushroom men had combat power exceeding Ah Hui’s skeletons or beast corpses.

Upon first obtaining [Gigantification], he previewed the fusion effect on Ah Hui.

Thinking if there were giant skeletons or beasts, they would be good too.

But later he discovered a pattern, which was that up until now, none of the S-level skills of summoned beasts had encountered any good fusion partners.

They either lowered the level or devoured effects or something like that.

It seemed S-level skills had reached their peak and couldn’t be further enhanced.

So neither S-level [Abyssal Servant] nor [Infernal Servant] were affected by [Gigantification].

"Hmm?"

However, during preview, Li Pu made a thrilling discovery.

[Hundred Mushroom Envoy (A)]: Temporarily summons mushroom men for collaborative combat

↓

[Giant Mushroom Envoy (S)]: Temporarily summons giant mushroom men for collaborative combat

"This is comfortable."

Two A-level skills could fuse into an S-level skill, meaning their compatibility was very high.

Since it was like that, he had nothing to hesitate about.

Buzz!

The light directly fused the two skills.

All there was to say was comfortable, very comfortable.

For those with OCD or perfectionist tendencies, this scenario would be satisfying.

All six skills of Caocao reached the peak S-level.

The only unsightly aspect was the still F-level grade, as failing reincarnation meant failing to raise the grade.

But that’s a minor thing, no need to care.

[Caocao!]

Caocao: Summoner, Ben Cao is different now!

After the fusion, Caocao lifted its arms and cheered.

"Come on, test the effect."

Li Pu eagerly wanted to see [Giant Mushroom Envoy].

[OK Caocao!]

Caocao nodded, then activated the skill.

Buzz!

Seven gigantic vortex-like beams of light appeared out of nowhere and flashed.

"So big...!"

Li Pu raised his head in amazement.

Judging by the height of these vortices, they rivaled the size of Caocao’s Godzilla phantom.

[Mush...Mush...da...!] x7

The heavy echoing voices emanated from the vortices, making Li Pu’s ears ache.

Just the volume alone seemed fitting for giant entities.

"Wait, wait..."

But originally still excited, Li Pu suddenly realized something.

He didn’t buy insurance, damn it!

The vortices were intangible, but the mushroom men they produced weren’t!

Bang! x7

Sure enough, seven big holes appeared in the ceiling.

"Damn it."

Li Pu covered his face.
