2685 Time for Lin Yuan to Make His Move!
The battle between Lin Yuan and Mu Yan led to a torrent of comments on Star Web. The surge of comments centered around Lin Yuan did not stop even when the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were battling.
Lin Yuan had not demonstrated such abilities during his fight with the Freedom Federation envoy group. At that time, he had pulled out all the stops and used all of his secret weapons.
This meant that Lin Yuan had prepared such a powerful secret weapon in the past year.
More importantly, as more and more high-class Creation Masters offered their expertise and analysis, Lin Yuan’s method was peeled apart, and it could be confirmed that he was using a fungi-species fey that could release spores and that he had become an A-rank spirit qi professional at just 19 years of age.
Spirit qi professionals who achieved A-rank before they reached 30 years old were considered bona fide geniuses!
Lin Yuan’s current power already exceeded the comprehension of those around him.
If one could be called a genius by becoming an A-rank spirit qi professional before one reached 30 years old, what did that make Lin Yuan? A monster among geniuses?
For the next 20 matches, none of the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence chose to challenge Lin Yuan.
This was not because none of them wanted to challenge their idol as a means of showing respect to him, like Mu Yan did. But after they understood Lin Yuan’s power, the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had to consider one thing. Did they have the right to show respect to Lin Yuan?
After last year’s thrilling Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, Mu Yan and every other member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence began viewing Lin Yuan as their idol. This even applied to Gao Feng, who was Lin Yuan’s good friend.
Lin Yuan’s leadership skills, execution skills, and control over the sea of flowers had been the picture of brilliant elegance. It had been so splendid that no one who witnessed it could forget about it.
Given that these members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had been selected from their combined abilities and had not single-mindedly fought for power, only three of them made it into the top 80 ranks.
As the manager of Radiance Sacred Hall, Liu Wencheng had anticipated this!
They had changed the format of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. It no longer just tested their power and character. Thus, the newly selected members were weaker than previous generations when it came to power.
However, given that they managed to make it into the Radiance Hundred Sequence, they were all worth nurturing.
The members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence could only retain their position for a decade at the most. Alternatively, they would have to step down once they reached 30 years old.
In less than ten years, the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would all meet the criteria of the new format. This would allow the Radiance Federation to nurture a generation of more well-rounded leaders.
In the face of the calamity that was the dead spirits crisis, everything became centered around stopping the dead spirits.
The Radiance Federation could afford to wait for ten years.
At this moment, a giant dragon lizard that was three-stories tall snapped the neck of a purple-maned lion with one bite. This put the end to a bloody battle.
“Sequence #92 Violent Lizard Zheng Dui has won and will rise to the rank Sequence #76! The original Sequence #76 Beast Army Lu Huai will become Sequence #92. The challenges will continue as per the rules.”
Lu Huai looked at Zheng Dui, who had just defeated him with frustration. Zheng Dui’s fey had completely countered him and had annoyingly hit all of his weak points. Even after using his entire beast army, he had only managed to kill two lizard dragons and had not managed to take down this giant lizard dragon.
Although he had fallen to Sequence #92, he could still issue challenges as the original Sequence #76.
Lu Huai had already selected his targets and would not have a problem making it into the top 70 ranks.
Zheng Dui could counter him, but there were also others who could counter Zheng Dui. Zheng Dui might technically be Sequence #76 now, but there was always a chance of someone pushing him out of that position.
During the yearly Radiance Hundred Sequence selections, many members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence forcefully climbed the ranks, even if it meant that they had to reveal their secret weapons.
This was not just so they could secure glory for themselves but also because they hoped that this would save them from elimination in next year’s Radiance Hundred Sequence.
All of them had started as rookies and slowly grown step by step. When they were rookies, they had also eliminated veterans. Now that they were the veterans, they did not dare to underestimate the rookies.
When Zheng Dui and Lu Huai returned to their seats, all of the audience on Star Web, the reporters and commentators who had experience with such large-scale events held their breaths.
Now, it was time for Lin Yuan to pick his opponents!
All of them were looking forward to this.
Liu Wencheng fixed his fiery gaze on Liu Wencheng and raised his hand before exclaiming,
“Next, Sequence #91 Miracle Lin Yuan will pick his opponents. Lin Yuan, who will you be challenging?”
Lin Yuan stood up from his seat a second time.
He turned to look toward Long Tao, Xia Qing, and Liu Jie.
Since he was going to raise the spirits of the citizens of the Radiance Federation, he had to put on a good show in these next three matches.
While Mu Yan and the rest had been stunned by Lin Yuan during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and began viewing him as their goal, this was the way that Lin Yuan viewed Long Tao!
When Lin Yuan first left the small area that was the Xia Region, he went to the more developed area, which was Redbud City. But he did not stay there for long before he headed to the Royal Capital.
The battle between Long Tao and the tea attendants demonstrated how truly epic the world of feys could be and showed Lin Yuan the power of the upper echelon of the younger generation!
This had left a visceral impression on Lin Yuan.
Now, Lin Yuan also wanted to do the same.
During the last Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, Long Tao had placed second. However, Xia Qing had given up her position of Sequence #1 to Liu Jie before defeating Long Tao, causing him to eventually take the position of Sequence #5.
Lin Yuan looked at Liu Wencheng and said loudly, “I would like to challenge Sequence #5, Vast Sea Long Tao.”
Long Tao stood up when he heard Lin Yuan call out his name. It was an honor to be selected by Lin Yuan.
Long Tao assumed that Lin Yuan would pick Liu Jie or Xia Qing first.
Long Tao had become Iron Prison’s disciple. Iron Prison’s disciplining of Long Tao was extremely strict.
It was just a shame that Long Tao had only contracted five feys, so his path had already been set.
After contracting the fey with the barren bloodline, Long Tao could not contract any more feys.
Hence, his only secret weapon was his fey with the barren bloodline.
Long Tao had the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus, two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes, Wave Halberd Killer Whale, and the Reef Sturgeon that he rarely used. He had used the water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls he obtained from Lin Yuan to evolve these five feys’ bloodlines before he evolved them to Myth Breed.
Long Tao had only attained his current achievements and power because of Lin Yuan.
Despite knowing that he could not defeat Lin Yuan, Long Tao was going to give his all in this fight.
Long Tao walked over to the arena. After glancing at Lin Yuan in the distance, Long Tao was momentarily silent but did not summon his feys.
The Reef Sturgeon was akin to a moving fortress in battle. Long Tao just needed to climb aboard the Reef Sturgeon’s back, and it would be able to defend him.
Lin Yuan had not selected him because he wanted to defeat him. Rather, it was so they could put on a show.
Thus, there was no way that Lin Yuan would attack him directly.
Long Tao did not intend to use the Reef Sturgeon in this battle.
The two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes were skilled at attacking and controlling a large area. After they evolved to Myth Breed, one of them became more skilled at attacking while the other became more skilled at controlling. When these two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes worked alongside the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus, they would create a territory of water.
As for the Wave Halberd Killer Whale, it was the core of Long Tao’s five feys. Its abilities and exclusive skills could condense the energy from the other four feys to roll grades to do combat.
Whenever Dragon Gate Guild Club fought against powerful opponents during large tournaments and Star Web battles, Long Tao always used the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.
However, that was because Long Tao did not want to reveal the fey with the barren bloodline that he had contracted.
It required a large amount of energy to use the fey with the barren bloodline that Long Tao had contracted. If Long Tao used the Wave Halberd Killer Whale to attack Lin Yuan, he would not have enough energy left in his body to use his fey with the barren bloodline.
Thus, for this battle, Long Tao only summoned the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus and two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfish.
The Myth Breed Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus was now longer than 800 meters. The main-dragon-species bloodline in its body had been fully activated. Thus, its dragon might had transformed completely.
As a terrifying-dragon-species fey, every part of the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus was a powerful and deadly weapon.
The two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes floated in the sky, and their tentacles, which were almost 100 meters long, hung down from their caps, releasing a light shower of misty rain.
The Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus roared. In an instant, the sea gathered around the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus.
Lin Yuan did not rush to summon his feys. Instead, he used True Data to check on the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus.
[Fey Name]: Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus
[Fey Species]: Mosasaurus species/Emperor Dragon genus
[Fey Grade]: Suzerain (7/10)
[Fey Type]: Water
[Fey Quality]: Myth II
Abilities:
[Whirl Flow]: Stir up the water region and cause extreme suction flow in the water.
[Eight Dragon Shadows]: The dragon shadow moved and transformed into eight dragon shadows. Each dragon shadow possess 60% of the original body’s attributes.
[Sea Bite]: Control the flow of the sea to form a bite. The biting force is equivalent to the biting force of the original body.
[Sea Emperor’s Dragon Breath]: Shoot out a destructive breath that belongs to the emperor dragons.
[Wrath of the Ocean]: Utilize all of the innate energy within the ocean to conduct a devastating tremor. The extreme tremor within the water has the power to destroy everything within the sea region.
[Water World Block]: Condense the water-elemental energy in the territory of water created, causing the water-elemental energy to lose its attributes. An enclosed elemental space will be created, and it will block out all external energy. It can also be used to seal in the target.
[Barren Ancient Dragon Might]: The dragon might will solidify and form an entity with half the power of the main body. This entity will be able to deter and intimidate targets to a certain extent. The affected target will experience intensified elemental damage and lose its fighting spirit temporarily.
Exclusive Skill:
[Water Overseer]: Delicate control when using the power of water and can control the flow of water.
[Extremity of Sea]: Gather water elements and form rivers. Allow the rivers to flow into the sea and control a portion of the sea region.
[Reverse Rolling Sea Pressure]: With its body as the base, all of the water produced will irrigate the base before the solid territory of water will crash onto the target to restrict its movements and destroy its body. The ability can only be negated by elemental abilities of the same type. Other types of elemental energy will be absorbed by the water-elemental energy.
Now, Lin Yuan had a certain degree of understanding of the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus’ power.
Zhou Luo had also contracted the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus, but he had obtained it from Coiling Dragon’s Valley.
Zhou Luo’s Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus had not reached Suzerain/Myth and was only Diamond/Fantasy.
Zhou Luo had almost died alongside Lin Yuan and Liu Jie in the evolving water world dimensional rift. If it was not for him, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie might have been stuck there forever. Thus, since then, Lin Yuan always took good care of Zhou Luo and provided him with the best resources.
Thus, Zhou Luo’s Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus’ abilities were even more excellent than Long Tao’s Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus.
Luckily, Long Tao had used water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to activate the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus’ bloodline before he evolved it to Myth Breed. This allowed the Sea King Chalk Mosasaurus to manifest strong abilities such as Barren Ancient Dragon Might and Reverse Rolling Sea Pressure.
Lin Yuan did not check on the two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes because he had already done so in the past.
The two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes had decent controlling and attacking abilities, which were precious to Fantasy Breed feys. But for Myth Breed feys, functional abilities were the most important!
Long Tao’s two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes lacked functional abilities and could not be considered the top tier of feys.
Long Tao had discussed his feys with Lin Yuan in the past.
Because he had contracted his fey when he was very young, he was now unable to match up to Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest.
Nonetheless, he had no choice but to accept this. There was nothing he could do to change his circumstances.
Otherwise, he would not have contracted the Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes and Reef Sturgeon.
When Lin Yuan saw that Long Tao had not summoned the Wave Halberd Killer Whale, he knew that Long Tao had successfully nurtured his fey with the barren bloodline and that he intended to use it during this battle.
Lin Yuan smiled and raised his hand, summoning Blackie.
The dragon-species feys that Long Tao had contracted were famous. He was the only member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who only contracted feys with the dragon-species bloodline.
But when it came to feys with the dragon-species bloodline, Lin Yuan did not fear any other member of the younger generation!
When Lin Yuan evolved Blackie to Myth Breed, it had become a clawed-dragon-species/five-clawed-dragon genus dragon!
