Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 857
Chapter 857: The Last Battle
Everyone had noticed that Gu Lang had returned after completing the Arts Stage.
The disciples of veteran and top factions who were participating in the Martial Arts Stage let out sighs of relief when they saw Gu Lang.
Gu Lang’s participation in the Arts Stage was bad news for the other participants of that stage but a blessing to the participants of the Martial Arts Stage.
Lin Yuan looked at Gu Lang and thought, Long Tao should also be out soon.
When they had been chatting, Long Tao had told Lin Yuan what his secret weapon as a Creation Master was. It was the Dragon Gall Three-Leafed Insect that he had contracted when he was young.
After consuming the gallbladder of a dragon-species fey, the Dragon Gall Three-Leafed would secrete oil that could increase the speed of spirit fluid concoction but could not increase the homogeneity of the spiritual ingredients.
The Dragon Gall Three-Leafed Insect was a great asset in such competitions.
Long Tao was already a pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master, but he could not compete with Gu Lang even with the Dragon Gall Three-Leafed Insect.
It was clear how strong Gu Lang was, evidence of the level that Class 4 Creation Masters were at.
Lin Yuan felt a stone of pressure land on his shoulders when he remembered that he was going to compete against Zong Ze’s Creation Master powers later.
He knew that given his Creation Master powers, he would not be able to compete with a Creation Master even with Genius helping him in various ways.
As such, he would just have to try his luck to see if he would be able to pick a topic that was suitable for him.
Du Shuo had already summoned his feys on the Martial Stage, which were the Diamond VII/Fantasy II Radium Sea Lion and Diamond III/Fantasy I Dragon Horned Blowfish.
Du Shuo had definitely contracted more than two feys, but any fey below Diamond grade would immediately be infected by the sticky fluid that the Hypha Tapeworm released.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Radium Sea Lion and Dragon Horned Blowfish and immediately knew why Du Shuo had the courage to take on Liu Jie in a fight.
Du Shuo had also used the Starlight Intelligent Dark Clouds’ pollen to roll grades as it was impossible for someone his age to become an A-rank spirit qi professional.
The Radium Sea Lion lived up to its name and spent its day eating radium, which even Myth Breed feys could not make a scratch on.
It took a long time to absorb the radium to increase its defense.
Although the Radium Sea Lion was a power offense-type fey, it had a light layer of radium on its skin that provided it with greater defense than the other feys of the same grade had.
Lin Yuan was more familiar with the Dragon Horned Blowfish.
If the Dragon Horned Blowfish could evolve to Myth Breed and unlock its ancient-whale bloodline, there was a high chance that it could evolve into the Jade-Gray Whale.
Three laws on the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen’s skirt came from Jade-Gray Whales.
The Diamond VII/Fantasy II Radium Sea Lion was undoubtedly stronger than the Diamond III/Fantasy II Dragon Horned Blowfish.
However, Du Shuo would be relying on the Dragon Horned Blowfish’s exclusive skill.
[Protection of Water]: By sacrificing its horn, the power of the bloodline within can call to water elements to create a protective layer that will protect a target from spiritual and soul attacks.
While the Protection of Water was in effect, Du Shuo would not have to worry about the Dead Soul Demon Insect’s threat and could use brute strength to fight against the insect colony.
When Lin Yuan was using True Data to check, Du Shuo loudly ordered, “Dragon Horned Blowfish, use Protection of Water!”
The slightly gray Dragon Horned Blowfish turned into the color of the ocean, and its large horn turned from dark brown to brilliant gold.
Two gold and blue shields appeared around the horn, and one of the shields flew over to cover the Radium Sea Lion that was charging toward the insect colony while the other shield sheltered the Dragon Horned Blowfish and Du Shuo.
The Dragon Horned Blowfish focused on activating the Protection of Water, and Du Shuo started instructing the Radium Sea Lion during the battle.
At that moment, the Orchid Petal Knife Mantis that was initially on Liu Jie’s shoulder landed on his palm.
The Dead Soul Demon Insect turned into a shadow of a soul and vanished without a trace from the Orchid Petal Knife Mantis’ body and went into either one of the Blade Worms or Shield Ladybugs.
Liu Jie gave a thumbs-up and said to the Dimensional Light Moth, “Dimensional Light Moth, spit out all the Shield Ladybugs in your stomach.”
The Dimensional Light Moth flew in front of the Blade Worms and Shield Ladybugs and contracted its abdomen once before releasing 10 Shield Ladybugs.
The Dimensional Light Moth contracted its abdomen ten times in total, and 100 Shield Ladybugs immediately surrounded the charging Radium Sea Lion, which halted its steps.
This development stunned Du Shuo, who felt that this method of defending using an insect colony seemed familiar.
There were now a total of 135 Shield Ladybugs.
He had no idea where these Shield Ladybugs came from.
Although Liu Jie was not a Creation Master and did not know how Protection of Water worked, he had already ambushed the Radium Sea Lion using the Dead Soul Demon Insect.
The ambush had not been successful due to the Radium Sea Lion’s protective layer.
Liu Jie looked crestfallen when he saw this.
If the Dead Soul Demon Insect’s attack was unsuccessful, Liu Jie would have to summon more insect-species carcinoma feys or even the Insect Queen in order to defeat Du Shuo.
But with his abundance of combat experience, Liu Jie had noticed that a small portion of the Dragon Horned Blowfish’s horn had turned into powder.
Liu Jie smiled behind his mask and circulated the spiritual power in his body before issuing a final order to the insect colony, “Hypha Tapeworm, use Double Parasite. Dead Soul Demon Insect, use Demon Soul Training and Exploding Dead Soul Bullets.”
After Liu Jie issued his order, one of the Blade Worm’s bodies expanded, and the black hypha started to move wildly while intermittent soul shadows appeared around it.
The Blade Worm that was transforming charged toward the Radium Sea Lion and exploded right before it made contact with the Radium Sea Lion.
