Chapter 669: Grape’s Upgrade

"Usually, this kind of situation doesn’t happen."

"Our human race’s luck isn’t that short," Xu Fan said with a smile.

Even if it’s just the little National Master getting serious and using guerrilla tactics, the beast race would have a hard time dealing with it.

And those main characters, once they grow up, should be able to handle this level of crisis.

But he likes to plan thoroughly, making sure there’s a clear way out.

"Master, do you think Feiyu and Wujie can grow to the level of the Golden Winged Roc?" Wang Xiangchi sent a message.

With Han Feiyu around, some things couldn’t be said out loud.

"They should be able to, but right now, they don’t seem to have that potential," Xu Fan replied.

Compared to the destined main character he once taught, that little spider, they do have some potential.

As for the other main characters, their lucky breaks probably haven’t come yet.

Like Han Feiyu, for now, it seems he could at most fight on par with an invincible respected elder, but that’s without spending any money.

To reach the invincible realm, they probably still have a way to go.

Half a month later, the Giant Ship landed in its designated parking spot.

Xu Fan immediately went to find avatar number two.

"So, what’s up this time?" avatar number two asked.

He knew that when the main body had that look, it meant there was big work to be done.

"Go to the Elder Council headquarters and help Number One fix the Ten Thousand Star Ship."

Xu Fan explained the situation.

"Alright, let’s go. There’s not much happening lately anyway," avatar number two said.

"Thanks for the hard work. I’ll have Grape design a few more virtual games for you in the future," Xu Fan offered.

"That sounds good," avatar number two replied with a smile.

"Get things ready and we’ll leave tomorrow."

"I’ll upgrade Grape first so he can come and help you too."

After saying this, Xu Fan went to the underground space where Grape’s body was.

"Next time, change into a five-pointed star; this round shape is too boring," Xu Fan said to Grape’s body.

"Understood, Master," Grape replied, sounding excited, knowing he was about to be upgraded.

"Take your time."

Xu Fan smiled as he laid out the spirit ore materials for Grape’s upgrade.

"Heavenly Treasure Crystal Stone, Dragon Brain Crystal, Celestial Soul Jade, Spiritual Iridium Steel,…"

Xu Fan carefully refined these rare celestial treasures, integrating them one by one into Grape’s body.

This refining process took half a month.

One day, as usual, the Hidden Spirit Sect was busy with cultivation and mission tasks.

Suddenly, thick dark clouds enveloped the entire Hidden Spirit Island.

Flashes of thunder raced through the clouds, signaling the formation of a celestial tool.

"Six Treasure Thunder Calamity, not bad," Xu Fan nodded and said.

Faced with the sudden phenomenon, the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples merely glanced up and then continued with their tasks.

After so many years, they had grown accustomed to the periodic appearance of celestial tool thunder calamities.

However, this thunder calamity was indeed more powerful than usual.

"Master, should we activate the Formation to collect the thunder calamity energy?" Grape asked.

"Normally, absorbing it might overwhelm some celestial tools, but you should absorb this Six Treasure Thunder Calamity entirely."

"Ordinary celestial tools can only last that long in their lifetime; you need to advance in the future," Xu Fan remarked, looking at the Six Treasure Thunder Calamity in the sky.

"Understood, Master."

At that moment, a red heart appeared above the Hidden Spirit Sect, facing the thunder calamity and illuminating the entire sect.

"What a familiar feeling," Xu Fan said as he glanced at the red heart.

The six bolts of thunder calamity struck down in sequence, and Grape’s entity offered no resistance, accepting it all effortlessly.

He even had the capacity to report back to Xu Fan while maintaining the daily operations of the entire Hidden Spirit Island.

As the last bolt of thunder calamity struck down, Grape’s entity radiated a celestial energy, which then absorbed completely into himself with no leakage at all.

After Grape successfully advanced, the red heart, too, hid deep within Hidden Spirit Island.

"Grape, how do you feel after upgrading to a celestial tool?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"Computing power is limitless, and…"

A sphere appeared before Xu Fan, in which two laws were evolving.

"I can slightly alter the wide road laws within a certain range."

Grape’s words made Xu Fan excited.

"Can you accelerate time?"

"Yes, but it requires Time-type Spiritual Treasures containing time laws."

"Using only the energy from the body for time acceleration consumes too much," Grape replied.

"Can you use these?" Xu Fan asked, pulling out the Time-type Spiritual Treasures he had collected that contained the wide road of time.

A red light scanned them.

"Master, these can only accelerate by 230 years," Grape’s voice echoed.

"That’s enough; I collected them accidentally and didn’t expect them to provide such years of acceleration."

"Is the heavens finally thinking of me?" Xu Fan exclaimed with excitement.

"Master, do we need to accelerate now?" Grape asked.

"Let’s hold off on that for now. I want to collect a few more Time-type Spiritual Treasures first," Xu Fan thought aloud.

If possible, he wanted to advance to the Great Ascension stage in one go and then suppress the beast race with a wave of his hand.

After he advanced to a Great Ascension Master, even if the Golden Winged Roc’s avatar descended to this world, Xu Fan would not be afraid.

"Let’s control ourselves for now; ascending to the Immortal Realm alone is too lonely. At least I’ll wait until Xu Gang and the others can ascend," Xu Fan considered this point.

"Understood, Master," Grape replied.

"First, send an avatar to the Elder Council headquarters to help Number One and Number Two complete their tasks," Xu Fan instructed.

Various properties of spiritual energy gathered before Xu Fan, transforming into a ten-year-old little boy.

"No need for a puppet anymore?" Xu Fan asked curiously.

"From now on, avatars won’t require a puppet, except during battles," Grape replied.

Xu Fan pinched the little boy’s cheek and found him no different from an ordinary child.

"You’ve simulated this avatar wonderfully," Xu Fan praised.

"It took so many of your resources, so it should have at least this much functionality," Grape said with joy in his tone.

Xu Fan nodded, approving of Grape’s efforts.

Over the Ten Thousand-Mile Giant Lake, Xu Fan, Wang Yulun, and Star were peacefully fishing.

"Uncle Xu, that celestial tool with intelligence you have is impressive," Star said calmly.

"Of course, I pay the most attention to Grape," Xu Fan smiled.

"I’ll give you a drop of blood; can I eat Grape?" Star asked, still calm.

"No, Grape is very useful to Uncle Xu."

"If you like, I’ll help you find a celestial tool similar to Grape in the future," Xu Fan said gently.

"Master, just now, I felt a moment of being controlled," Grape’s voice reached Xu Fan’s mind, with a hint of fear.

"I can eat meat and even magical treasures," Star said with sparkling eyes, looking at Xu Fan.
