Mutated Lightning Snake

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Original form: A roughly two-meter-long, pure-white snake with faint electrical flashes across its body. It was deeply wounded and listless when discovered in the market 5.
• After Stalactite Vein Milk: Its skin became whiter and jade-like 32.
• After evolution: Nearly three meters long, with finer white scales resembling individual jade plates. A continuous row of tiny downy feathers extended from head to tail, carrying faint sparks of lightning 40.
• At Bronze Rank: Seven meters long, retaining its white-jade appearance and capable of carrying a rider through the air 43.
• Later snake form: Had grown to sixteen meters long by the flight away from Scallion Ridge 67.
• Dragon egg: During dragon transformation, special power enveloped her body in an egg bearing blue-green and white dragon patterns. Jiang Ziliu associated the blue-green patterns with lightning and the white patterns with White Dragon power 121.
• Lightning Dragon form: An azure, five-clawed dragon with a deer’s antlers, an eagle’s eyes, a snake’s body, and a fish’s scales, resembling the divine dragons of Chinese legend. Her azure coloration represents lightning rather than the life attribute 122.

Personality

Initially terrified of captivity, the snake discharged electricity instinctively to defend itself. Its Mutated Spirituality nevertheless allowed it to recognize Jiang Ziliu’s goodwill: it restrained its current while he treated its wounds and subsequently accepted his contract 5 6.

It communicates desires through its connection with Jiang Ziliu, including asking permission to eat a defeated Slime. It also reliably guards him while he sleeps. Its recorded favorability rose from 67% shortly after contracting to 92% at Bronze Rank 6 7 18 32 43.

Water of Life subsequently raised her favorability to 99%, and she later reached 100% affinity. At that point, she possessed the highest spiritual intelligence among Jiang Ziliu’s three original beasts. After hearing his abbreviated account of the legendary Lady White, she became fond of the snake demon and readily accepted the same name 52 74.

Lady White values freedom and seeing the world more than pursuing absolute power. When offered different evolutionary paths, she preferred a smaller, freely mobile body and a life closer to a human’s over the immense size, food requirements, and possible prolonged sleep associated with the World Serpent path. These preferences led her to choose dragon transformation 102.

Abilities & Skills

Electromagnetic Manipulation

An SSS+ rank skill acquired through mutation. Initially, the snake lacked the knowledge needed to use it effectively; possessing the skill did not prevent its capture by a low-level beast tamer 6.

• Contract feedback: Jiang Ziliu selected this skill upon contracting the snake, gaining his own access to Electromagnetic Manipulation 6.
• Learning by observation: The snake could sense Jiang Ziliu’s electromagnetic control process and learn from his demonstrations 9 21.
• Electromagnetic Cannon: Accelerates iron ammunition into high-speed projectiles. After ten practice shots in the underground cavern, the snake could reliably hit wherever Jiang Ziliu directed 32.
• Biological magnetic-field detection: Developed a natural sensitivity to biological magnetic fields, allowing it to locate a concealed bandit. At the time, Jiang Ziliu did not know it possessed this application 36.
• Broader potential: Jiang Ziliu developed metal control, microwave heating, electromagnetic induction heating, and an Electromagnetic Barrier through his feedback version. These demonstrations are not all independently confirmed for the snake 35 40.
• Retention after dragon transformation: Unlike several original lightning-type abilities, Electromagnetic Manipulation remained a separately listed skill after Lady White became a Lightning Dragon 129.
• Demigod Rank advancement: Rose from SSS+ to Demigod Rank after her Lightning Dragon bloodline became complete through the Dragon Gate transformation 165.

Electromagnetic Cannon Performance

Electric Current Attack

Its native electrical attack improved from D+ after contracting to C− after the Soul-Cleansing Mushroom, then B− after evolution 6 10 40.

• Contact electrocution: Coiled around a Slime and killed it with a barrage of current 7.
• Ranged lightning: At Bronze Rank, could spit a lightning bolt approximately 100 meters 43.
• Electrical storm: Could generate chaotic lightning within 20 meters of itself. Every other living thing in that area was exposed to the strikes 43.
• Area suppression: Its electrical barrage helped incapacitate a poisoned elf during a coordinated ambush 50.
• Later advancement: Improved to B+ after Water of Life and A+ during Silver Rank cultivation. It remained listed at A+ immediately before dragon transformation 52 75 102.
• Dragon transformation: Her original lightning-type skills subsequently sublimated into Born Thunder God rather than remaining individually listed 129.

Lightning Divine Speed → Lightning Sky Skimming

Its original ground-movement skill evolved into aerial mobility 40.

• Lightning Divine Speed: Initially D rank, later D+; enabled rapid movement along the ground. Also called Lightning Godspeed during its first dungeon battle 6 7 10.
• Lightning Sky Skimming: B+ rank after evolution. The new feather growth enabled high-speed flight 40.
• Mounted flight: Upon reaching Bronze Rank, its increased size allowed it to carry Jiang Ziliu easily, although the electricity on its body made riding somewhat uncomfortable 43.
• Quiet movement: Could fly lightly near Jiang Ziliu while producing almost no disturbance, allowing her to remain concealed nearby and warn him of danger 63.
• A+ advancement: Reached A+ during her Silver Rank cultivation 75.
• Additional feedback skill: Jiang Ziliu later selected Lightning Sky Skimming as feedback from Lady White. Compared with flight derived from Electromagnetic Manipulation, it provided faster, steadier, more responsive movement while using roughly one-third to one-fifth as much Dark Energy over the same distance 75.
• Pressure limitation: An overwhelming presence encountered during the escape from Scallion Ridge terrified her so severely that she lost the ability to fly and fell. Jiang Ziliu recalled her into his Beast-Taming Space before she struck the ground 67.

Mutated Spirituality

An intelligence-enhancing skill that began at D−, rose to C− through a Soul-Cleansing Mushroom, and reached B− after evolution 6 10 40.

• Allowed it to understand the intent behind Jiang Ziliu’s medical treatment 6.
• Supported learning complex electromagnetic techniques from demonstrations 9 32.
• Could be improved using suitable soul-type resources 6.
• Reached B+ after consuming Water of Life 52.
• Further cultivation raised her intelligence to the level of a five- or six-year-old human child 69.
• Reached A rank during Silver Rank cultivation. By the time Jiang Ziliu named her Lady White, she possessed the highest spiritual intelligence among his three original contracted beasts 74 75.
• Remained listed at A rank immediately before her dragon transformation 102.

Physical Combat

• Stalactite Vein Milk increased its strength and constitution despite its inability to absorb the treasure’s earth-attribute medicinal power directly 32.
• At Bronze Rank, intimidated two enemy Lightning Snakes with higher-order life-form pressure, then killed them by biting them with superior physical strength 45.
• Its close-range strength remained weaker than its exceptional cannon firepower. Jiang Ziliu assessed its overall combat ability as upper Bronze Rank or potentially quasi-Silver Rank 43.

Aquatic Adaptation

• Already possessed some ability to survive underwater, although this capability was relatively weak 58.
• After investigating aquatic beasts at Base No. 23, Jiang Ziliu considered nurturing a dedicated aquatic skill so that she could operate on land, at sea, and in the air. The proposed underwater specialization was a cultivation goal rather than a confirmed advancement at that time 58.

Lightning Dragon Bloodline

Dragon transformation revealed that Lady White’s original snake body contained remnants of True Dragon, Lightning Dragon, White Dragon, and Jiaolong bloodlines. Her evolution ultimately developed the Lightning Dragon bloodline rather than the True Dragon bloodline Jiang Ziliu had hoped for 121 122.

• Divine dragon lineage: Her Lightning Dragon form belongs to the divine dragon race and stands above Jiaolong 122.
• Bloodline rank: The Lightning Dragon bloodline obtained through transformation was Demigod Rank 129.
• Complete bloodline: A later Dragon Gate transformation completed the bloodline and raised almost all her listed skills to Demigod Rank 165.

Born Thunder God

An SSS+ grade skill formed when her original lightning-type abilities sublimated during dragon transformation. Its description identifies Lady White as a born thunder god capable of freely controlling all lightning power 129.

The skill later advanced to Demigod Rank after the completion of her Lightning Dragon bloodline 165.

Other Dragon Skills

The SSS+ grades of her post-transformation skills indicated ultimate potential reaching the peak of Supreme Rank; the later Demigod Rank upgrades placed those skills above Supreme Rank 129 165.

History

Discovery and Contract

Jiang Ziliu found the injured snake in an open market at Base No. 12. Its uncertain mutation, serious wounds, and relatively mature mind made it an unattractive contract prospect. Probability Judgment nevertheless confirmed that it possessed an attack skill of at least SSS grade 5.

The seller initially demanded three million yuan, but Jiang Ziliu negotiated the price down to 8,000 yuan. He paid another 300 yuan for its insulating cage and spent 20,000 yuan on ingredients for wound medicine. After treatment brought its injuries close to recovery, the snake’s increased affinity allowed him to contract it smoothly as his second beast 5.

Guard Duty and Electromagnetic Training

During Jiang Ziliu’s early dungeon expeditions, the snake primarily protected him while the Azurite Rock Man handled most combat. It later kept watch during wilderness nights and guarded him while traveling through dangerous grasslands 12 18 19.

Jiang Ziliu initially devoted more resources to the Azurite Rock Man, but eventually designated the snake as his future main offensive beast. He studied electromagnetism to develop their shared skill and trained the snake’s cannon attacks while excavating an underground safe house 27 32.

Treasure Peaches and Evolution

Using Probability Judgment, Jiang Ziliu located a lightning-struck peach tree guarded by at least ten thousand Thunder Sparrows. The Azurite Rock Man stole its three treasure peaches under cover of night. One peach strengthened the snake to nine-star Black Iron Grade; the final peach later became an ingredient in its evolution potion 34 35 39.

The resulting evolution gave it feather growth, high-speed flight, and stronger native skills. After further growth through Elemental Crystals, it reached Bronze Rank and became Jiang Ziliu’s flying mount 40 42 43.

Battles Against Pursuers

During a wilderness ambush, the snake independently detected a bandit through his biological magnetic field. Its cannon attack cost him an arm, but its single-pellet ammunition limit prevented a follow-up shot as he escaped on his eagle 36.

Against the Blood Eye Adventure Group, it helped eliminate enemy beasts, guarded Jiang Ziliu, and used long-range cannon fire to finish tamers who survived his metal-spike attacks. It later helped capture an elven pursuer with an electrical area attack and carried the captive away 45 50.

Water of Life and the Journey Toward Chang’an

Among the captured elf’s possessions, Jiang Ziliu discovered SS-grade Water of Life. He gave one drop to the snake, raising it from one-star to six-star Bronze Rank in approximately two days. Its Electric Current Attack and Mutated Spirituality improved to B+, and its favorability reached 99% 52.

After leaving Lingyan Base, Jiang Ziliu traveled toward Chang’an Base under the protection of the snake and the Azurite Rock Man. The two beasts dispatched approaching exotic beasts as he traveled along the road. At Base No. 23, his investigation of aquatic beasts prompted plans to broaden the snake’s underwater capabilities 57 58.

Secluded Growth and Naming

During Jiang Ziliu’s secluded life in Base No. 6, all three of his original contracted beasts reached nine-star Bronze Rank. Subsequent cultivation brought the snake to two-star Silver Rank, although a relative shortage of lightning-attribute resources slowed its advancement compared with its companions 61 69.

The snake continued to serve as a nearby guard and flying mount. During the flight away from Scallion Ridge, an overwhelming presence forced her sixteen-meter body out of the sky, and Jiang Ziliu saved her by recalling her into his Beast-Taming Space 63 67.

Her affinity eventually reached 100%. After confirming that she was female, Jiang Ziliu named her Lady White and told her the story associated with the name. She liked both the legendary snake demon and her new name. Her complete affinity also contributed to the formation of the soul channels linking Jiang Ziliu to his original three beasts 74.

By four-star Silver Rank, her two principal lightning and movement skills had reached A+, while Mutated Spirituality reached A. Jiang Ziliu selected Lightning Sky Skimming as an additional feedback skill, gaining a more efficient means of flight 75.

Choosing Dragon Transformation

Lady White reached seven-star Silver Rank during Jiang Ziliu’s hidden-base cultivation and later attained nine-star Silver Rank. Jiang Ziliu delayed further evolution until his Silver Rank beasts approached the Gold Rank threshold 96 102.

When planning her evolution, he offered two broad directions: continuing along the snake lineage with lightning at its core, or transforming into a dragon. Lady White chose the latter because she wanted to travel freely and see the world without the enormous body and consumption associated with a World Serpent-like future. Jiang Ziliu initially planned to obtain Jiaolong blood essence for the evolution 102.

He later encountered a half-dragon void merchant selling true dragon blood contaminated with Dragon Death Baleful Intent. Probability Judgment indicated an 85.9% chance of successfully evolving Lady White with that blood. Forging Throne offered to remove the contamination, and Jiang Ziliu purchased the blood along with several kinds of SSS-grade Elemental Crystals 119.

Dragon Transformation

Jiang Ziliu devised a method of combining true dragon blood with Star-Eroding Rock Worm stomach lining. Forging Throne confirmed the approach and taught him how to process materials from powerful creatures. After ten days of preparation, he completed a Dragon Transformation Potion tailored to Lady White 121.

The potion offered different probabilities of developing the dragon bloodline remnants already present in her body 121.

Because advancement to Gold Rank had to occur in the natural environment, Jiang Ziliu began the process in a secluded underground cavern rather than inside his Beast-Taming Space. The potion enveloped Lady White in a dragon egg, and the transformation required an entire month. While waiting, Jiang Ziliu continued opening his Gold Rank Hidden Soul Stars 121.

When the egg broke, its shell dissolved into dragon power and returned to her body. Lady White emerged as a five-clawed azure Lightning Dragon. Although she did not obtain the hoped-for True Dragon bloodline, she had successfully transformed from a snake into a member of the divine dragon race 122.

Her race name changed to Lightning Dragon, her bloodline became Demigod Rank, and her original lightning abilities sublimated into Born Thunder God. Electromagnetic Manipulation remained, alongside the new Divine Beast Pressure, Dragon Blood Body, and True Dragon Soul skills 129.

Later Growth

During Jiang Ziliu’s subsequent secluded cultivation, his contracted beasts reached nine-star Gold Rank. Their evolved skills also improved the abilities he received through feedback 130.

Lady White later underwent a Dragon Gate transformation that completed her Lightning Dragon bloodline. This further elevated Electromagnetic Manipulation, Born Thunder God, Dragon Blood Body, and True Dragon Soul to Demigod Rank, while Divine Beast Pressure remained SSS+ 165.

Feeding & Cultivation

• Early maintenance diet: At least 10 kilograms of exotic-beast flesh or one D− lightning-attribute beast core per meal. Jiang Ziliu budgeted at least 500 yuan every seven days for basic feeding; this regimen maintained survival rather than promoting growth 6.
• Growth diet: Food prepared through potion-making methods contributed to its rapid early advancement 12.
• Electrical conditioning: Jiang Ziliu fed it large quantities of flesh and blood, then applied current below ten volts during the one-to-three-hour period after digestion. The process was uncomfortable but did not reduce its fondness for him 31.
• Later resources: Lightning Elemental Crystals supported its growth toward Bronze Rank. Two A-grade lightning Elemental Crystals recovered afterward were identified as suitable for further strengthening 42 43 46.
• Water of Life: One drop of the SS-grade treasure raised her five minor Bronze Rank tiers in approximately two days and improved her skills and favorability 52.
• Skill-centered cultivation: During Silver Rank development, Jiang Ziliu primarily advanced her by strengthening and evolving individual skills, in contrast with the bloodline-centered development of the Azurite Rock Man. A shortage of lightning resources relative to earth- and life-attribute resources limited her growth speed 69.
• Dragon Transformation Potion: Prepared using true dragon blood and a method incorporating Star-Eroding Rock Worm stomach lining. It activated or fused higher dragon bloodline remnants within her body and enabled her Gold Rank transformation 119 121.
• Post-transformation bloodline development: A later Dragon Gate transformation completed her Lightning Dragon bloodline and substantially raised her skill ranks 165.

Relationships

• Jiang Ziliu — Beast tamer, healer, and instructor. His treatment earned its trust; their contract gave him Electromagnetic Manipulation, and his demonstrations taught it how to exploit the skill. He later named her Lady White, gained Lightning Sky Skimming through feedback, and respected her preference for dragon transformation over the giant-serpent path 5 6 9 32 74 75 102.
• Azurite Rock Man / A Kun — Fellow contracted beast and combat partner. The Rock Man primarily handled scouting, concealment, and underground attacks, while the snake developed into the main ranged attacker and aerial support. Both later reached Gold Rank after undergoing major bloodline evolutions 27 33 45 102 129 130.
• Green-Skinned Shapeshifting Spirit / Thousand Faces — Fellow contracted beast. The three original beasts grew together during Jiang Ziliu’s periods of secluded cultivation and eventually all reached 100% affinity. Thousand Faces later evolved into a Little Life Fairy before Lady White’s dragon transformation 61 74 117 121.
• Forging Throne — Fellow contracted entity whose assistance supported Lady White’s dragon transformation. Forging Throne offered to remove Dragon Death Baleful Intent from the purchased true dragon blood and advised Jiang Ziliu on processing the materials used for her potion 119 121.

Continuity Notes

• The information panel lists the snake as three-star Black Iron during the Hidden Soul Stars sequence, despite an earlier five-star listing and a later return to five-star. No explanation for this discrepancy is provided 12 22 27.
• Mutated Lightning Snake, Lady White, and Lady White the Lightning Dragon refer to the same contracted beast at different points in her development. Her race name explicitly changed to Lightning Dragon after dragon transformation 74 129 165.
• Her Demigod Rank bloodline and skills are distinct from her personal life rank. Nine-star Gold Rank is the latest explicitly stated life level in the supplied account; the later complete-bloodline panel does not specify a new life rank 130 165.
• The azure color of her evolved dragon form denotes her lightning attribute, not the life attribute associated with another type of azure dragon 122.
