My Power is Upgrading Everything (Rewrite)

--- Chapter 54 ---

The Dragon Auction Event ended successfully, there were a lot of surprises here and there, but the representatives from each faction were clearly impressed. From the services when coming to Java Island for the first time until the last day, when the Auction grandly was held.

When the representatives returned to their factions, Dragon Nest's assets over Rune Stones would explode and become a hot topic for years. After all, How could Spirit Masters not be excited, knowing there was a way to store Spirit Ring into an object?

Of course, greed and jealousy over Dragon Nest's ability to create Rune Stone will appear. It's bound to happen, but Huo Yuhao has prepared everything for six years. Java Island might look like an ordinary island with several ships anchored. Yet, several 100.000 years old Oceanic Spirit Beasts lived around it, a little-known fact because only higher-ups knew about this matter.

The day representatives stepped out of Java Island, Huo Yuhao expected some chaos to happen sooner or later. And he was right because Giana told him that several Evil Spirit Masters from Holy Ghost Church surrounded the coastal area.

...

...

At the Auction's treasury, Huo Yuhao stood at the entrance and saw many things stacked in this room. He leaned on the nearest because the Event earned more than he expected, meaning the bidders couldn't see through his scam.

"There is a reason why I don't allow Gold Coins as the currency because they mean nothing. Meanwhile, treasures like this have more value." Huo Yuhao commented while picking a familiar-looking device.

[Type: Defensive Tool]

[Grade: S+]

[Description: Hongchen's Blessing is a Class 9 automatic defensive soul guidance tool with its defensive effect equal to the "strongest." attack unleashed by the user with all of their Spirit Energy without initiating any Spirit Skills. And It depleted 1/5th of the user's energy and formed an invincible barrier with defensive power up to 3 times the user's cultivation]

[Warning, Hong Chen's Blessing needs to get recharged after each usage. By cultivating/absorbing the spirit energy in the air, the user could charge the device "full." within three days passively or a whole day by doing it manually]

"Huh, I don't expect to get this thing here." Huo Yuhao stared at the floating red orb on his palm. Hongchen's Blessing possessed complex spirit arrays inside it, but he could easily decode it compared to Primordial Runes. "I don't know if this was a good thing or not for my plan."

'Well, everything was fucked up when I arrived in this world anyway." He added while storing the Hongchen's Blessing in his inventory.

Huo Yuhao swept over the treasury and picked the "impressive." items he could experiment with later. He had a fair share of curiosity about Star Essence because the liquid could second awaken one's martial soul, even with the low odds of that happening.

[Name: Star Essence]

[Type: Heaven and Earth's Treasure]

[Grade: S+]

[Description: Star Essence was a unique liquid from a meteorite landing on the Star Luo Empire years ago, which Xu Clan had been consuming through many generations, causing a mutation and a second awakening of their inherent Martial Soul, Star Crown]

[Star Essence's real name is Divine Water. It has the effect of drawing out one's potential, but is also "extremely." poisonous after consumption] Evo added, which left Huo Yuhao speechless.

"No fucking way!" Huo Yuhao slowly looked down at several vials filled with Star Essence. He was speechless because Douluo Dalu's universe possessed so many things, and Divine Water was one thing he didn't even know.

"No wonder the Star Luo Princes seemed unsure about the percentage. Her ancestors probably killed themselves until that "one." guy survived and passed the Star Crown Martial Soul to Star Lou Empire's royalty."

Yawn~

"Are you done?" Huo Yun'er yawned while walking into the Auction's treasury. She and Liu Mei have been waiting for Huo Yuhao outside.

Huo Yuhao smiled weakly and answered, "Pretty much. We can give the rest of these resources to the Researcher, Craftmaster, and Medicine Hall."

Huo Yun'er nodded and scanned through the treasury, finding nothing that could amuse her. The Luck Qi within those rare medicines and materials is minuscule. There is also a good amount of Spirit Bones, but none are good enough for her and Hao'er. "Oh, someone is brave enough to return to the Douluo Continent immediately." She suddenly commented because her vision saw something.

"From what faction?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

The foxy mother pondered for a good one minute because she couldn't remember any insignificant beings that didn't associate with her beloved son. "Body Sect, was it?" She tilted her head in confusion.

Huo Yuhao was amused and chuckled, "Oh? It's going to be interesting."

At the Melati Hotel. Every faction's representative gathered to discuss the way back home because, even though Dragon Nest would provide them with transportation to the Douluo Continent, no one would protect them when they stepped on the beach.

Yan Shozhe and Sin Lin'er, as the representatives from the righteous Shrek Academy, obviously became the center of attention and asked to protect them.

The Shrek Academy's Dean sighed and spoke naturally, "I've said it already. All of you can stay at Java Island until everything calms down because we can't protect everyone at once."

"B-But we had to return immediately to spread this precious information about Dragon Nest. The news about Rune Stones alone would shock the entire continent in chaos." Someone in the crowd desperately replied.

"What's more important? Your life or the news?" Sin Lin'er was annoyed. "Don't be a fool and think about it deeply because being dead won't help you. Please understand that Dragon Nest's secrets aren't everything."

Everyone was quiet when listening to Sin Ling'er, even Jing Hongchen and representatives from other Empires. Liu Mei clapped her hand and walked into the Melati Hotel's lounge room.

"Well said." The Dragon Nest's Secretary commented while looking at them. "Have you noticed that Body Sect's representatives have already gone from Java Island?"

"Huh??"

"What? Where are they?"

'Those maniacs... Hehe, it's fine because 50 Black Rune Stones will be moved to the virtuous hall later.' Jing Hongchen realized Body Sect's representatives had left Java Island when they walked back to the Melati Hotel.

Liu Mei smiled and declared calmly, "I have received an order from higher-ups of Dragon Nest. For the safety of our Dragon Auction Event's first guest, I'll be the one who escorts you back to the Douluo Continent."

"Eh?" They are genuinely surprised.

Jing Hongchen frowned inside because Liu Mei's existence would ruin his plan. He wanted to meddle with her declaration, but Yan Shaozhe and several other representatives agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Mommy~!!"

"Woah, what a lifesaver."

"I could finally live longer."

"These fools..." Jing Hongchen silently cursed while massaging his temple.

...

...

Every representative walked to the dock and filled up a Yacht provided by Java Island. "Let's go." Liu Mei commanded while summoning a massive katana out of thin air. It has a "Slay." character carved on the beginning of the blade.

As the Yacht moved from the dock because of Giana's control over the mechanism inside, everyone watched Liu Mei with an awed look because her presence became more prominent. And ghost-like armor made of pure lightning covered her body.

"U-Um, Ma'am." A young man walked to Liu Mei with a hopeful look. "May I ask something?"

Liu Mei used Universal Breathing Technique to ignite her Spirit Circuits and moved her gaze to the young man. Her eyes shone coldly because of the effect, making him terrified.

"What's it?" She returned naturally.

The young man stuttered, "P-P-P..."

"Huh?"

"PLEASE STEP ON ME!!" He shouted with all his might, leaving everyone stunned on the spot. A complete silence happened on the ship deck, besides the sea wind noise.

...

Liu Mei couldn't help but giggle when hearing such an absurd yet familiar request because people often did this in the Dragon Nest's base. Queen of Thunder's title might sound menacing, but that also attracts some strange guys.

"Sorry, boy. You're far from my ideal type, and I already have someone else in mind to become my partner." She answered with a kind yet cold tone. "As for stepping on you? Why Don't you jump out of the ship and die?"

"I-I see, then sorry for bothering you." The young man blinked his eyes in disbelief and turned around because he couldn't die here yet. He sighed but received kind encouragement from some of Liu Mei's followers in the crowds.

"What the fuck just happened!?" Yan Shaozhe shouted while looking at Liu Mei.

Sin Lin'er sighed and whispered, "Boys."

Jing Hongchen wiped his monocule clean with a handkerchief and ignored the scenery on the deck. He watched the sky and sea meticulously, noticing some people. And his lips curved when realizing Evil Spirit Masters had surrounded the Yacht.

"KEKEKE!"

"THE INFORMATION IS RIGHT. THERE ARE SOME BIG FISHES HERE~!"

Several black-hooded Spirit Masters appeared out of thin air and surrounded the Yacht. Liu Mei grasped the handle of her katana and whistled casually. An enormous silhouette descended from the sunny sky.

"Slay All Evils." The calm voice of Liu Mei echoed in the area.

"Come, Wyvern."

BOOM!

ROAR!

A Crimson-Scaled Wyvern appeared and caused a storm that swept the Evil Spirit Masters away from the Yacht. Liu Mei pulled the katana and summoned her spirit rings, creating a vast domain of lightning above the ocean and below the sky.

"W-What kind of power is this?" They shivered when looking at the domain of lightning. Liu Mei floated with an enormous demonic-looking arm beside her body.

"Kill her!" The Evil Spirit Masters' leader shouted and released his cultivation realm too. He was also a Title Douluo with an odd Spirit Rings configuration, but Liu Mei doesn't even bat an eye.

Over 70 people with cultivation over Spirit Sage and Spirit Douluo Realms rushed to Liu Mei. There is also one Title Douluo, under the Evil Spirit Master's leader, coming toward her with a menacing-looking scythe.

SWOOSH!

"Crane Style: Drifted through the darkness." Liu Mei's silhouette suddenly trembled like buzzing lightning, and her katana barely moved from its spot. The Wyvern roared, and one spark caught everyone's attention.

One purple lightning spark appeared and clashed with the air, followed by another. And another one. It caused a rapid reaction and created a bright flash in the area.

SWOOSH! BOOM!

An extreme thunderclap manifested from Liu Mei's act, leaving burned ashes in the air. Her katana was moving too fast for one's eyes to see and slashed everything around her into a bunch of ashes.

"She used extreme friction... And burned everything like a divine judgment from the sky." Someone said with a horrified tone.

"The Queen of Thunder."

COUGH!

The leader of the Evil Spirit Master coughed a mouthful of blood and stared at Liu Mei with a terrified expression. This woman is a monster.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to introduce myself." Liu Mei slowly grinned like a mad woman. "My name is Liu Mei. The 2nd ranked Higher-ups of the Dragon Nest."

"Y-You! NO WAY!" Everyone, including the Evil Spirit Master's leader, finally realizes Liu Mei's real identity. Some people even cursed themselves for not connecting the dots sooner.

The Queen of Thunder chuckled and added, "You might have heard about my brother Liu Beng. He's such an adorable boy, right~?"

Those words sent shivers and fear to people who knew about Liu Beng's feats two years ago. The Dragon Nest's Demon Wind Douluo and Liu Mei actually called him an "Adorable boy." And It showed that she was more powerful than the former.

The Evil Spirit Master gritted his teeth because he literally was left with no choice in this situation. He summoned a dark spear and called upon the Dark Moon in the sky, shining the area with destruction rays.

"Bright Phoenix..." Yan Shaozhe activated ]Bright Phoenix Martial Soul and created a holy barrier around the representatives. He stared at Liu Mei and hoped she could finish this fight sooner because everyone would get injured at this rate.

"SO WHAT IF YOU'RE THE SECOND-RANKED?!!!"

"I'LL TAKE ALL OF YOU HERE WITH ME!" The Evil Spirit Master's Leader shouted while stabbing himself in the chest with the dark spear, causing the dark moon to swallow everything around it.

Liu Mei sighed in disappointment and walked past the Evil Spirit Master, leaving faint electricity in the air. She sheathed her katana back and whispered, "Torn to Oblivion."

BOOOOOM!

A purple pillar of lightning swallowed the dark moon and the Evil Spirit Master's leader into nothingness. And Liu Mei returned to the Yacht while undoing her martial soul.

"Don't stare at me like that." She said casually, like fighting Evil Spirit Masters was a daily chore for her. "That wasn't even enough to warm me up."

From that day, Liu Mei gained another title from the people of the Douluo Continent. Lightning Goddess
