Monster Paradise - Chapter 1518

Chapter 1518: That Purple-haired Girl Is Pretty Good

After successfully elevating to fourth rank, to avoid attracting even more attention, Lin Huang kept his sights on third-rank heavenly god-level prisoners as his hunting targets from beginning to end.

After all, there were only a few like Stitch, who contained large quantities of Rule Bending Power inside their inner worlds. The majority of the third-rank prisoners he had slain only allowed him to plunder fifteen thousand to twenty thousand types of rules.

As the domains of the Heavenly God prisoners were far away from each other, most of his time was spent on traveling, and the number of Heavenly God prisoners he killed every day was usually between twelve and fifteen.

At this rate of plundering, it took him a whole week before he managed to obtain enough rules to advance to fifth-rank true god-level.

As he was limited by the distance between the domains of the Heavenly God prisoners and was also unable to use Space Rule and sequence to teleport—coupled with the fact that his hunting targets were still third-rank heavenly god-level prisoners—his killing efficiency did not increase by much after his combat level had advanced.

The Heavenly God team leaders outside the secret territory saw that he was becoming more adept at hunting.

It was just that after numerous times, they did not feel surprised anymore.

Several Heavenly God team leaders were even discussing why Lin Huang was not challenging more difficult targets.

“I thought that after Xiu Mu familiarized himself with hunting third-rank Heavenly God prisoners, he would continue challenging himself and try hunting fourth-ranks. But it’s been a week, and he seems to have no intention of trying at all.”

“I don’t really understand either. Why did he give up on challenging fourth ranks straight away? Looking at the character he’s displayed previously, it shouldn’t be like this.”

“Maybe he feels that hunting third-ranks is a more efficient way to obtain points, in order to secure first place on the Gold Leaderboard. After all, the prize for first place on the Gold Leaderboard is still a fairly tempting prospect.”

“I don’t think that he’s the kind of person who gives up a challenge for points and rankings. Moreover, he still has a clear advantage in points. Even if he delays for two or three days, he’s still unlikely to be overtaken by the person in second place. Spending half a day to attempt this challenge once won’t affect his ranking at all. There has to be another reason for him not to challenge the fourth-ranks.”

“Why are you guys complicating things so much? Perhaps he just feels that he isn’t strong enough to challenge fourth-ranks and has simply given up.”

There were even people who directed their questions straight at Buried Heaven, enquiring as to what Lin Huang’s true abilities were.

Buried Heaven only smiled and responded with, “I’m not sure either.”

The Heavenly God team leaders were tired of watching Lin Huang hunt, so they finally began shifting their attention to other trial participants.

Many of the trial participants were completely oblivious to the fact that although the trial had already progressed to one-third of the way through, they were finally being noticed for the first time.

However, in comparison with Lin Huang, the others’ performances were not as satisfactory.

Most of them hunted ninth-rank True Gods, and there were basically no highlights; the Heavenly God team leaders nearly fell asleep while watching.

Although several top-tier hunters were hunting first or second-rank Heavenly Gods, their battles were extremely difficult. The shortest battle still took more than two hours to complete; the longest battle even lasted for a full day and night.

If this had been in the past, no matter how long these battles lasted, they were still marvelous in the eyes of the Heavenly God team leaders.

After all, True Gods crossing levels to hunt Heavenly Gods was an extraordinary feat in itself.

However, this time the Heavenly God team leaders were frowning while watching.

After witnessing Lin Huang’s crushing successes, there was a clear sense of contrast, and this group of top-tier hunters was a lot weaker compared to Xiu Mu.

Lin Huang hunted down third-rank Heavenly Gods as smoothly as moving clouds and flowing water. Not a single unnecessary move was made throughout the entire process. Moreover, one battle lasted for half an hour at most, and he could complete a hunt in approximately twenty minutes most of the time.

In comparison, the hunts of other top-tier powerhouses were a lot more awkward.

Of course, there were a few trial participants below the top-tier levels who drew attention as well.

An example was Bloody.

Amongst the True God hunters, Blood could be regarded as one of those with the lowest combat level.

This was because, in order to showcase the strength of their younger generation, the trial participants sent by the major organizations to take part in the secret territory hunt each time were essentially their strongest geniuses.

Those at virtual god-level were basically all Virtual Gods rank-9. Those at true god-level were basically all at ninth-rank as well.

Bloody was the only eighth-rank participant among the True Gods.

Originally, the Nephilic Judges were quite reluctant to give the slot to Bloody, because if she did not perform well, she would bring shame to the Nephilic Judge Tribe.

It was Kylie who strongly contested this, saying that if they did not allow Bloody to participate, she would not take part either.

Only then did the Nephilic Judge Tribe give Bloody a slot.

Bloody was not considered strong among the many True God geniuses since she was only at class-4.5 Pseudo-supreme God-level, whereas there were at least dozens of participants who were Supreme God rank-5s.

However, her performance was very outstanding, even comparable to that of several top-tier powerhouses.

After entering the secret prisoner territory, she did not immediately proceed to hunt down ninth-rank True Gods. Instead, she turned to the eighth-rank prisoner domains and spent a whole two days controlling more than ten eighth-rank prisoners. On the third day, she finally brought along more than ten of these eighth-rank parasitic bodies and began attacking ninth-rank prisoners.

While she was besieged by a group of eighth ranks, she then searched for an opening to parasitize them.

After that, she took three days to control ten ninth-rank prisoners before leading the group to slaughter their way into the domains of first-rank Heavenly Gods.

In the past five days, she had already defeated seven first-rank Heavenly Gods.

She had also succeeded in controlling two of them.

What the Heavenly God team leaders in the outer world did not know was that Bloody actually could control all seven of them but she intentionally acted three times as if she had failed at controlling them, just to reveal the limits of her parasitic power to avoid others being afraid of the consequences.

Even the team leader of Nephilic Judge Tribe bought it. This was because their impression of Bloody was that her abilities had always been poor, and Kylie was always protecting her. Her performance this time had already exceeded their expectations by leaps and bounds.

There were even a few Heavenly God team leaders who began to discuss Bloody.

“That purple-haired girl from the Nephilic Judge Tribe is pretty good. Although her combat strength is a bit weak, she’s actually mastered god sequence chains, and it’s a control-type god sequence chain which can control first-rank Heavenly Gods!”

“The limitations of this power are a bit too low. It’s reached its limits after controlling only two first-rank Heavenly Gods. It’s rather a pity…”

“This type of control power is generally related to psychic strength. Although it can only control two first-rank Heavenly Gods now, it still has the potential to be strengthened further. After all, this girl’s combat level is only at eighth-rank true god-level. When she elevates to heavenly god-level, her spirit strength will also undergo a round of transformation, and her psychic strength will greatly increase then. Being able to control ten Heavenly God puppets is far stronger than average Heavenly Gods of the same rank.”

Evidently, Bloody’s acting skills had successfully fooled all the Heavenly God team leaders who were watching the battle through the screen.

In fact, if it were not that she had to meet up with Lin Huang, based on Bloody’s cautious habits, she would definitely have given up on trying to enter the Heavenly God domain to hunt. She would have continued keeping a low profile to prevent herself from being noticed.

She had entered the Heavenly God domain because from the beginning, she had discussed the matter with Lin Huang and agreed to meet him there.

Moreover, the meeting point that she and Kylie had decided upon was also in the Heavenly God domain.
