Chapter 362 - 214: Silver Shuttle Nightmare Cat

Chapter 362: Chapter 214: Silver Shuttle Nightmare Cat

By now, Zhong Yi had already used All Things Exploration to inspect Lan Po’s data.

[Guardian Beast Name]: Silver Shuttle Nightmare Cat

[Guardian Beast Species]: Viverridae/Spirit Cat Species

[Guardian Beast Level]: Extraordinary Level (1/10)

[Guardian Beast Type]: Spiritual Element

[Guardian Beast Quality]: Gold Quality

Skills:

[Weaving Dreams]: By releasing a Spiritual Force Field, it can influence a target’s mind and memories. It then weaves a carefully arranged dream based on the target’s experiences. Upon waking, the target will mistake the events of the dream for reality.

[Echo]: Enhances the effect of dreams on creatures. If a target is already under the effect of Weaving Dreams, activating Echo allows it to overcome the target’s Spiritual Defense Ability.

Exclusive Traits:

[Dream Silver Shuttle]: For every ten complete dreams it devours, it condenses one Dream Silver Shuttle, with its quality based on the dreams. Using a Dream Silver Shuttle to weave a dream greatly increases the success rate of Weaving Dreams. When facing Spiritual Attacks or Spiritual Curses, a Dream Silver Shuttle can be consumed to defend a designated target.

[Successor Nightmare]: This Exclusive Trait can only be triggered when a target begins to doubt what is a dream and what is reality. Whenever the target tries to distinguish between the two, they will fall into a Nightmare state. This confuses their Spiritual Power and impairs their ability to tell dream from reality. Once triggered, the Nightmare can infect and spread to surrounding targets.

[Nightmare Link]: Allows it to connect with all targets affected by Nightmare, enabling it to cast the Skill of Weaving Dreams on them from a great distance. If a target is simultaneously under the effects of both Nightmare and Weaving Dreams, it can absorb the target’s Spiritual Power and convert it into Dream Silver Shuttles.

Lan Po’s Bloodline had evolved from the Silver Shuttle Dream Weaving Cat to the Silver Shuttle Nightmare Cat.

Just from its Bloodline, it was clear that Lan Po’s Evolution was more focused on offensive capabilities.

Zhong Yi had originally treated Lan Po as a utility-type Guardian Beast.

But inside the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, Lan Po had already proven its combat value to Zhong Yi.

Lan Po could easily be used as a scout-type Guardian Beast by spreading its Nightmare.

It might even have a greater scouting range than a typical scout-type Guardian Beast.

Ordinary scout-type Guardian Beasts rely on powerful reconnaissance abilities, usually possessing scouting methods like the Wooden Eye condensed by the Endless Wood Demon.

But Lan Po’s method of scouting was more like the spread of a plague: first, it would use Weaving Dreams to select a target to serve as the primary host.

Then, as the host moved freely, it would infect other creatures, allowing Lan Po to determine the locations of all infected targets.

This ability was somewhat limited against a single target, but it was exceptionally effective on a large battlefield.

All of Lan Po’s abilities stemmed from its Basic Skill, Weaving Dreams.

Weaving Dreams carefully crafts a dream for the target, then uses that dream to influence reality.

The skill Lan Po obtained upon advancing to the Extraordinary Tier was called Echo, and its effect was to enhance the influence of dreams on creatures.

This not only enhanced Lan Po’s Basic Skill, Weaving Dreams, but also boosted its other dream-related Skills and Exclusive Traits.

In addition to enhancing its dream-related abilities, the Skill Echo also possessed the effect of breaking through a target’s Spiritual Defense.

However, Echo didn’t break through a target’s Spiritual Defense by being actively cast.

Instead, it activated automatically when a target used its Spiritual Power to resist Weaving Dreams. This made it difficult for the target to escape the dream, ensuring the Nightmare could spread successfully.

If a target’s Spiritual Defense Ability were too strong and they immediately broke free from the influence of the Skill of Weaving Dreams, then Lan Po would be unable to successfully activate its Exclusive Trait, Successor Nightmare.

The Exclusive Trait Lan Po gained by reaching Gold Quality was called Nightmare Link. It allowed Lan Po to connect with all targets affected by Nightmare.

Once connected, Lan Po could use its Basic Skill, Weaving Dreams, to directly create dreams for Nightmare-affected targets, even from a great distance.

This turned the affected target into a new host for spreading the Nightmare.

Once a target was under the effects of both Weaving Dreams and Nightmare, Lan Po could then absorb their Spiritual Power to condense Dream Silver Shuttles.

Dream Silver Shuttles were consumables that Lan Po used to enhance its skill effects and maintain the dream’s continuous influence over a target.

Previously, in the First Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, Lan Po had consumed five whole Dream Silver Shuttles.

Normally, Lan Po could continuously create Dream Silver Shuttles by absorbing the dreams of Sleeping Dream Moths.

The rate at which it created Dream Silver Shuttles wasn’t slow.

But on the battlefield, there were no complete dreams for Lan Po to devour.

In a prolonged battle, the Dream Silver Shuttles Lan Po had created would eventually run out.

The Exclusive Trait, Nightmare Link, gave Lan Po the opportunity to create Dream Silver Shuttles mid-battle by using its opponents’ Spiritual Power.

’On a large battlefield, Lan Po’s strategic value isn’t that much less than Hong Ji’s.’

Lan Po could sense Zhong Yi’s satisfaction, and it happily placed a small paw on his shoulder.

It rubbed its cheek against Zhong Yi’s neck, letting out a contented purr.

After upgrading Lan Po, Zhong Yi didn’t move on to strengthening his other Guardian Beasts.

Currently, Zhong Yi was in dire need of a trustworthy and competent manager, both in the real world and on the Virtual Source Network.

Zhong Yi had established Soul Soil on the Virtual Source Network, but he hadn’t started recruiting members on a large scale.

Instead, he chose to go through Taya to use the Lion Heart Association’s internal channels for trading resources.
