Chapter 137 Little White
A clear mental connection was established instantly.
At the same time, strange changes began to occur in Bai Xi.
Its size shrank rapidly at a visible speed, and its powerful aura also quickly subsided and diminished.
In the blink of an eye, the enormous creature that was originally fifty meters long had transformed into a small white dragon that was only a little over three meters long, as thick as an arm, covered in snow-white scales, with a small horn on its head, and even looked somewhat delicate and cute.
Its level was also reset to zero, and it became Lin Tian's mount.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the pet [Bai Xi]!]
The system notification sounded in Lin Tian's mind.
Lin Tian looked at the shrunken white dragon before him; the tiny horn on its head gave it a somewhat childish appearance.
The once majestic dragon eyes now held a hint of bewilderment and innocence, making it look more like a delicate and fragile work of art than the awe-inspiring dragon that had just stirred the waters.
He shook his head helplessly, his expectation of "riding a cool dragon and soaring through the sky" immediately dashed.
"I was hoping you could be my mount, but now you've become so tiny, I can't ride you anymore..." He reached out and touched the little white dragon's cool scales; the texture was delicate, though.
"Looks like I'll have to level you up first."
The little white dragon seemed to understand his words, letting out a soft "woof" and rubbing its head against Lin Tian's wrist, conveying a vague, slightly aggrieved sense of intimacy.
Lin Tian thought for a moment, looked at its snow-white fur, and casually said, "From now on, you'll be called 'Little White'."
Upon hearing this, the little white dragon (Bai Xi) showed a hint of extremely human helplessness in its eyes, but in the end it still obediently nodded at the dragon head that now looked small and exquisite.
[Ding! Your pet "Little White" has been successfully named!]
The moment the system notification sounded, Lin Tian looked at its only response, a nod, and couldn't help but cover his forehead, laughing and crying at the same time: "Well, now it can't even speak properly."
He casually opened Xiaobai's attribute panel and began to examine it carefully:
【noob】
Rank: SS
Race: Flood Dragon
Rating: 0
Talent: [Frost Lord]
Ice Affinity: Master the essence of ice, increasing the damage of all ice skills by 100%, while reducing mana cost and cooldown by 50%.
Extreme Cold Burst: When actively activated, enters the "Extreme Cold Burst" state for 30 seconds. In this state, the damage of ice-type skills is increased by an additional 120%, mana cost is reduced by 70%, and cooldown time is greatly reduced by 80%. Cooldown time: 24 hours.
"It's actually an SS-grade talent, and a pure numerical amplification type at that!" Lin Tian's eyes lit up, and he nodded in satisfaction.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this trip to the hidden instance was worthwhile.
"That Shen Qi sold me this address for 10 gold coins, that's a steal! Just for getting Xiao Bai, even if he asked for 100 gold coins, I definitely wouldn't lose money!"
Moreover, the gains from this trip go far beyond that:
The backpack was filled with a large amount of new high-level equipment and rare materials, and the level was increased to 21. Celia also leveled up to 20.
Especially since the dungeon was densely populated with monsters, he was able to harvest a massive amount of upgrade points and Dominator Power in a short period of time, far more efficiently than in the wild.
"It's time to go out." Lin Tian didn't delay any longer. With a thought, he put the shrunken Little White back into his pet space.
The little guy seemed a bit unaccustomed to it, and after twisting around, it turned into white light and disappeared.
Then, he summoned the [Blazing White Tiger], and lightly leaped onto its back while holding Celia.
With a low roar, the white tiger's four hooves pounded the flames, carrying the two of them as it transformed into a streak of light and burst out of the Tidal Cavern dungeon entrance.
......
They returned to the outskirts of Luoxia City.
He did not return to the city immediately, but instead rode on the white tiger.
This area is already a level 20 monster zone, where you can occasionally see the figures of [Thorn Cheetah] or [Corrupted Treant] flashing through the trees.
"Since we're already out, let's clear out some monsters nearby and see if we can find a map with a higher monster density."
Lin Tian thought to himself, "I still don't have enough upgrade points. I need to save up 100,000 points as soon as possible and see what kind of crazy effects will be unlocked if I upgrade my S-level skill to SSS-level or higher."
As he controlled the white tiger to move slowly forward, using his skills to easily clear out the nearby monsters, he also glanced at a few pieces of equipment and skill books that he had hastily collected in the dungeon and hadn't had time to examine closely.
Three A-grade equipment items: the Tide Staff, the Rock Helmet, and the Mighty Guardian Belt, along with an A-grade skill book: Dark Current Assault.
Lin Tian then upgraded all three pieces of equipment to S grade, and the skill book to SS grade.
After all, skills can be used continuously, while equipment is only used temporarily. Given Lin Tian's leveling speed, his equipment is updated and replaced relatively quickly.
[Ding! Consumed 1000 upgrade points, [Tidal Staff] A→S.]
[Ding! 1000 upgrade points consumed, [Rockstone Helmet] A→S.]
[Ding! 1000 upgrade points consumed, [Mighty Guardian Belt] A→S.]
[Ding! 1000 upgrade points consumed, [Skill Book: Dark Current Assault] A→S.]
[Ding! 10000 upgrade points consumed, [Skill Book: Dark Current Assault] S→SS.]
A series of system notifications sounded, and the upgrade points instantly decreased by 14000 points. [Current remaining upgrade points: 26241]
But that wasn't all. Lin Tian took a deep breath and continued to use—No Consumption Boost!
[Ding! Using a cost-free upgrade, [Tidal Staff] S→SS.]
[Ding! Using a no-cost upgrade, [Rockstone Helmet] S→SS.]
[Ding! Using a cost-free upgrade, [Mighty Guardian Belt] S→SS.]
[Ding! Using the skill book "Dark Current Assault" without any cost, [Skill Book: Dark Current Assault] SS→SSS.]
Lin Tian then checked the latest information regarding the upgrades to the three pieces of equipment and the skill book:
Tide Staff
Rank: SS
Level requirement: 25
Attributes: Intelligence +580, Spirit +450, Magic Attack +680
Effect 1: Tidal Resonance: Increases water attribute skill damage by 50%, and has a 20% chance to trigger "Tidal Surge" when using a water attribute skill, reducing the cooldown of that skill by 30%.
Effect 2: Tidecaller: The active skill [Summon Tidal Elemental] is enhanced. The summoned creature is promoted to "Elite Tidal Elemental," with significantly increased attributes and an extended duration of 90 seconds. It also gains new skills [Tidal Shield] and [Raging Torrent Impact]. Cooldown time is reduced to 4 minutes.
Effect 3: Water Affinity: When in a water environment, all skill mana costs are reduced by 15%, movement speed is increased by 20%, and fire damage taken is reduced by 10%.
Description: The staff is crafted from deep-sea blue crystal, with a jewel embedded at its tip that seems to seal within a miniature ocean, where the power of the tides circulates endlessly. When held, one can hear the faint sound of ocean waves, bringing a sense of tranquility.
