Chapter 2691 Destined Battle!

Chapter 2691 Destined Battle!

Lin Yuan never underestimated his feys or overestimated his opponents.

He had internally rebuked Xia Qing's words because he understood Liu Jie.

The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom could release hundreds of thousands of spores into the air. As long as five spores made it into the body of a Diamond insect, the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom would be able to trigger its ability.

However, high-level insect-species carcinoma feys multiplied into an army much faster than was expected by the average person. This especially applied to an army created by multiple insect-species carcinoma feys.

With the neverending waves of insect armies charging at him, it would be difficult for Lin Yuan to use the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom to take control of the vast number of insects within a short span of time.

There were some insect-species carcinoma feys that could even consume the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's spores.

The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom used the effects of Thought-Separating Flames to affect the spirit, mind, and soul of entities and the main body or the body contracted to the entities.

However, the insect army produced by the insect-species carcinoma feys did not possess much intelligent thought and only knew how to follow the mother insect's orders to kill and feed. If they were subjected to the torture of the spirit, soul, and mind, they would follow the mother insect's orders and their innate genetic instincts. Thus, the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom would not be able to trace the link back to the mother insect. Lin Yuan already tested this on Liu Jie when the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom evolved to Myth Breed.

Xia Qing had said this partially because she was slightly indignant and partially because she truly felt that the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's abilities were very strong.

But in the upcoming battle, Lin Yuan would correct Xia Qing's thinking and show her that she had misunderstood.

There was a plethora of variations to fey abilities. It could not be said that one singular ability was better than all the rest. Lin Yuan was able to save himself from being unexpectedly tripped up because he always kept this in mind.

Lin Yuan had already used two of his three challenges. This next battle would be his last challenge for the Radiance Hundred Sequence reranking.

Star Web was a cacophony of activity because of Lin Yuan's three battles.

Lin Yuan had won his battle against Mu Yan in an extremely bizarre and startling manner.

This battle caused those who had been looking forward to watching Lin Yuan to raise their anticipation to the maximum, and those who had not been looking forward to watching him to also become excited.

Star Web returned to the same state as before the dead spirits crisis began.

As Lin Yuan's exclusive reporter, Tian Ningning continuously asked the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master, whom Liu Hao had sent to assist her in writing her draft and updating the duel record.

However, even the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master could not make an accurate assessment of Lin Yuan's fey.

The second battle had been between Lin Yuan and Long Tao.

When Lin Yuan fought as Black on Star Web, he had encountered opponents from the Dragon Gate Guild Club. Long Tao even publicly invited Black to join the Dragon Gate Guild Club. This formed an invisible link between Long Tao and Black.

Later, due to the incident involving Long Tao, Black, and the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence working together to fend off the wave of demons, it became public knowledge that Long Tao and Black were friends.

Long Tao's power had been dazzling ever since he made it into the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

He managed to overwhelm opponents time and time again to climb the ranks into the top ten of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Once he became Sequence #3 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, he began receiving many challenges annually. However, there were very few people who could defeat him in battle.

Even if his feys were countered and he lost one or two abilities, he would be able to climb back up later.

It could be said that Long Tao was the standard for the Radiance Hundred Sequence reranking.

The battle between Long Tao and Lin Yuan was highly anticipated by the Star Web audience and Long Tao had even summoned one of the legendary feys with the Barren bloodline.

In the Victory Fish's first public appearance, it was defeated by Lin Yuan with just one main-dragon-species fey.

It was obvious that Lin Yuan had not utilized his full capabilities in the battle against Long Tao.

It was assumed that Lin Yuan would continue using the main-dragon-species fey in the battle against Xia Qing. After all, after each battle on Star Web, both spirit qi professionals and feys were fully healed.

Yet, Lin Yuan did not send out the main-dragon-species fey again. Instead, he summoned the bird that could transform into a sun that he had used in the battle against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

After the battle against the Freedom Federation envoy group, the bird had become a celebrity and was a household name.

This was because the sparrow's beauty was eye-catching, and its voice was literally music to the ears.

Furthermore, this sparrow's power was undeniably fearsome. No one had heard of the ability to harness to sun.

Moreover, this sparrow turned out to be the most popular idol on Star Web, Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess!

Previously, only a few people successfully guessed Chimey's true identity. Most were unaware of it.

The battle between Chimey and Xia Qing had utterly stirred up the audience on Star Web. This especially applied to Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess' fans.

[Beach]: I finally know why Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess has been absent all this time. Lord Lin Yuan was probably in seclusion and evolving her power!

[Look at Your Bearish Appearance]: Ah! I haven't heard Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess sing in so long. It was such a blessing to be able to hear her sing during the match!

[Magic Mini Jie]: Will she continue to livestream after this match? When will she hold a fan meeting? I want her signature as a keepsake!

Aside from Chimey, most of the conversation surrounded Lin Yuan and Xia Qing.

Xia Qing had never summoned the Misfortune Fighter publicly in the past.

It was likely that only Lin Yuan could withstand and eventually defeat Xia Qing, who had the outstanding Misfortune Fighter and its ability to turn the entire arena of clouds into flames.

However, the method by which Lin Yuan defeated Xia Qing took Star Web's audience by surprise.

It was similar to the method by which Lin Yuan had defeated Mu Yan.

Before this, there were some people who felt that Mu Yan had lost because she was weak.

Due to the new format of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, many powerful members of the younger generation ended up being swallowed by the sea of alien beasts before they had the chance to exhibit their strength. Some of them included members of the previous generation of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

This inevitably led to some doubting the fairness of the new selection format.

After Mu Yan lost, even more people used her as evidence for their suspicions. They felt that if she was weak enough to be beaten by a mere wave of Lin Yuan's hand, she did not deserve to stand as a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. It went without saying that such naysayers were emboldened by the fact that she had not won a single one of her three challenges.

But now that Lin Yuan had used a similar method to defeat Xia Qing, some of the finger-pointing at Mu Yan eased.

After all, she did manage to go a few rounds with the other two members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence she challenged.

If they said Mu Yan didn't deserve a spot in the Radiance Hundred Sequence because Lin Yuan beat her with a technique, it would be like saying Xia Qing, who was Sequence #1 for a long time, didn't deserve it either.

All of the commentators and hosts on Star Web were enthusiastically expressing their opinions on the battles. All of them had different styles. A few were conservative, while others took greater leaps in logic. But they were all trying their best to explain the exhilarating battles.

It was not long before the attention of the entire Star Web shifted from the battle between Lin Yuan and Xia Qing to the one between Lin Yuan and Liu Jie.

Liu Jie stood up at the instant that Lin Yuan said his name.

From the outside, Liu Jie looked extremely calm. But people like Bai Hao and Wang Zhong, who knew him, were aware that he could not be more excited. This was because Liu Jie always balled his right fist when he was excited. He never did so at other times.

Bai Hao and Wang Zhong were not just Liu Jie's previous teammates but were also his close friends.

Both of them knew that he was Lin Yuan's retainer and that Lin Yuan had saved Liu Jie from the mud.

Liu Jie had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.

However, he was not trying to use his battle to prove himself but to report to Lin Yuan and show him how he had grown.

Liu Jie was under extreme pressure, and Wang Zhong and Bai Hao could tell. But at the same time, they knew that this stress could not be changed by Liu Jie himself because it came from Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan's rapid growth placed unimaginable pressure on Liu Jie. This would happen regardless of who Lin Yuan's retainer was.

Luckily, Liu Jie also had his own opportunities. These opportunities allowed him to have the chance to report to Lin Yuan.

Bai Hao and Wang Zhong cheered Liu Jie on internally.

The last time that Liu Jie had demonstrated his power was last year during the fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Neither Bai Hao nor Wang Zhong knew how far Liu Jie had grown in the past year.

Lin Yuan and Liu Jie locked eyes, and a smile immediately spread across Lin Yuan's face.

Just like Liu Jie, Lin Yuan had also been looking forward to this fight for a long time. He also wanted to see how ferocious Liu Jie could be when he unleashed his full power.

Night Leaning Moon was the one who had come up with the 'final weapon' plan for Liu Jie, but Lin Yuan was the one who had materialized it.

Without Lin Yuan, Elegance would not have gained the Blade Queen Bee's psychotoxins and mutated. Liu Jie would also not have obtained the Firefly Demon Fetuses that transformed the insect-species carcinoma feys into fairies.

Lin Yuan had one fey that was very suited to battle against Liu Jie, and that was Source Sand!

After Lin Yuan conquered the subterranean world, the metal spiritual ingredients he obtained had enabled him to comprehensively evolve the Suzerain/Myth Source Sand.

Liu Jie walked down from the stone pillar. In front of all of the citizens of the Radiance Federation, Liu Jie stood in front of Lin Yuan and performed the rites of a retainer.

Immediately after this, Liu Jie summoned Elegance with a wave of his hand.

The Dimensional Light Moth that was close to becoming a four-winged fairy also appeared next to Elegance.

The Dimensional Light Moth was the fortress that stored Liu Jie's insect army.

Only a few of the carcinoma feys controlled by Elegance were stored within it. Most of them were stored within the Dimensional Light Moth.

Given that Liu Jie's intention was to show Lin Yuan how he had improved, he was in no rush to summon the insect army to attack Lin Yuan.

Instead, he instructed the Dimensional Light Moth to release a veteran fight, the Hypha Tapeworm.

Previously, the Hypha Tapeworm was a Diamond X/Legend insect-species carcinoma fey.

Liu Jie could continuously raise the grades of the insect-species carcinoma feys he controlled but not Elegance. Otherwise, Elegance would lose control over the insect-species carcinoma feys.

Liu Jie felt slightly conflicted about the Hypha Tapeworm, but he eventually used the Firefly Demon Fetus to transform it into a fairy.

Of all of his insect-species carcinoma feys, the Hypha Tapeworm was the most suited to set the stage for his combat. When the Hypha Tapeworm set the stage, it would enable the other insect-species carcinoma feys to utilize their powers to the greatest extent.

When Liu Jie had been hesitating about whether to transform the Hypha Tapeworm into a fairy, he had discussed his concerns with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan used True Data and started reading the Hypha Tapeworm's information.

[Fey Name]: Hypha Tapeworm (Fairy)

[Fey Species]: Fairy-species/fairy-genus

[Fey Grade]: Suzerain (10/10)

[Fey Type]: Insect/Dark

[Fey Quality]: Myth II

Abilities:

[Fluid Hypha]: A sticky fluid will be produced that can cover an area. The bacteria pockets in the sticky fluid will break apart quickly to form webs of hypha.

[Long Body Split]: The Hypha Tapeworm will tunnel into the Fluid Hypha and start to split itself. Each split section can be planted in any small insect.

[Degeneration Control]: Flesh that is dead due to bacterial infection will be covered in bacteria pockets that contain vicious poison. When the bacteria covers a degenerating surface, the tapeworms that have been created from the split sections can enter the dead host to control it.

[Decaying Bacteria]: The bodies of the hosts being manipulated will be covered in strong corrosive bacteria that will spread to the cells of healthy flesh that it comes into contact with and cause the cells of the healthy flesh to start to decay.

[Degenerating Body Integration]: When a degenerating body is damaged, the ladybugs that are produced will sacrifice their body as nutrients to feed and integrate the bacteria. The tapeworms produced from the split sections will control the degenerated body.

[Double Parasite]: When in the presence of other parasitic-type lifeforms and insects, the degenerating body, bacteria, and tapeworms formed from split sections can be sacrificed to increase the parasitic-type lifeform's power. If the parasitic-type lifeform is injured, it can draw energy from the sacrificed entities to heal itself.

[Decaying Camp Fungal Territory]: Whenever an insect-species lifeform dies in the territory of fungi, the territory of fungi will absorb the insect-species lifeform before breaking them down into their components and turning them into nutrients for the territory of fungi. This will create an environment where insect-species lifeforms can take shelter.

Exclusive Skill:

[Degenerating Body's Reproduction]: The bacteria will alter the reproductive and gender cells in the degenerating body to allow the degenerating body to produce new creatures by splitting its sections.

[Resilient Corded Body]: The Hypha Tapeworm's split bodies and ability to produce hypha will be strengthened. Splitting the body excessively will not affect the main body's resilience. The split bodies are able to produce hypha.

[Sacrificing Hypha Provision]: The hypha colonies produced by the split bodies will be sacrificed and turned into nutrients that will feed the insect-species lifeforms in contact with the hypha. This will help the insect-species targets in combat, and the insect-species targets being controlled by the split bodies will also be strengthened.
