Chapter 547: Chapter 0547: Hidden (Third Update Request for Subscription)

Looking at Su Lu, his face calm and composed, Zi suddenly felt a chill spread throughout her body.

Could there be…yet another turn of events?

But according to the reports from the Strategic Analysis Department, along with millions of modelling studies carried out by the latest type of artificial intelligence, there were simply no Sixth Level Occupational Persons in the world currently.

At the Fifth Level, even the peak strength King of the Fish People faced a bitter end when surrounded by numerous foes of the same level.

How could Bai Jing possibly break through such a limitation?

Huang Minghao had an incredibly bad feeling.

He had painstakingly tricked Bai Ling, hoping to witness the pain and despair on Bai Jing’s face when he found himself abandoned and betrayed.

But who could have guessed… this man was cold-blooded, indifferent to everything.

All the behaviors he had shown before were nothing but deceits or performances.

Only now was his true nature revealed!

“Enough…”

Looking around, Su Lu abruptly declared, “All the Fifth Level foes who bear hostility towards me have been gathered by you all. Excellent! Let’s get started!”

He wanted to deal with this nuisance all at once, ensuring no ants could interfere with his ritual!

Han Fan’s face changed. His spiritual senses were issuing frantic warnings.

Although it seemed that they were surrounding Bai Jing,

In his perception, the positions of the hunter and the prey had swapped in an instant.

“President…hahaha…so this is the real you?”

With loud laughter, Han Fan waved his huge sleeves!

Boom!

A mountain materialised and crashed down from the void.

Like a comet colliding with Earth, the teaching building and statues were pulverised in a deafening blast and ensuing earthquake.

The gigantic mountain vanished as quickly as it had appeared, leaving behind a huge crater.

Zi watched this scene with gritted teeth.

An attack that could switch between reality and illusion was simply too terrifying.

Almost any base defence would not be able to withstand Han Fan’s move.

But she couldn’t concern herself with this now, she quickly prepared for the imminent battle.

If Spirit King could be taken down that easily, he wouldn’t have held the title of the world’s strongest for so long!

Telekinetic energy surged like a spider’s web, spreading out in all directions.

Then, at the bottom of the crater, Zi saw Bai Jing.

Through the real-time imagery of the mental link, Han Fan and Huang Minghao soon saw the same thing.

In the bottom of the gigantic pit,

a number of pale spiritual bodies manifested and combined into a large hand, providing a shield over Bai Jing’s head.

Even though a mountain had just come down upon him, the area surrounding him remained untouched, only ‘pressed’ deep into the ground by the tremendous force.

“Quick! The Spirit Extinguishing Gun!” Huang Minghao shouted.

As a master studying the Spirit World and Spiritual Bodies, how could Spirit King not have considered this?

As the order was given, each member of the Sky Network was armed with a strange-looking gun, trained on Su Lu and firing rune bullets.

Even in the Main World, these weapons could be considered marvels, and the bullets, made with alchemy, could inflict damage on spiritual bodies.

Thud! Thud!

In the storm of metal, the gigantic hand was torn apart, and the spiritual bodies disintegrated one after another.

“No…”

Looking at the scene unfolding before her, Bai Ling finally realized that the battle between the two sides would likely end without any prisoners taken.

Perhaps the only fate awaiting her uncle was death.

In that instant, her spirit completely collapsed, and she crumpled to the ground.

“Legend… the fall of a legend.”

Cheng Feng’s face was unnaturally flushed, and he looked at the scene unfolding before him with gleaming eyes.

But the next moment, he was disappointed.

In the telekinetic network share interface, after the giant hand crumbled, a huge Spirit was revealed. It opened its mouth wide, forming a door with a demonic face on the front. Even though the surface was pockmarked, it had managed to stand firm in the storm of metal.

“Why?”

A huge question spread among each of the attackers.

Why is the Spirit King so powerful?

Even after suffering such a terrifying attack, his aura did not diminish in the slightest.

Even the gaze he turned on his attackers was filled with a certain… pity?

“I’ve always believed… that the Spirit World is the mainstream of all mysteries! The Spirituality granted by the grand Spirit World is the foundation of all mysteries…”

The door with the demonic face slowly opened, and Su Lu walked out, his tone calm: “The Spirit World has multiple structures… At this point, I have only enslaved the Spirits of the first layer. These Spirits have increased in number only in the last decade or so. After all, without Spirituality to support them, even if a world harbors deep resentment, there would not be a ‘channel’ for it to manifest…”

“The second layer of the Spirit World reaches straight into the mind.”

He looked at Cheng Feng, then suddenly pointed at him.

In the Mental Realm, the Secret Realm that represented Cheng Feng shattered with a loud crash.

In reality, Cheng Feng let out a scream. Bulges of flesh started popping up beneath his skin, and tentacles grew out from below his waist.

“Mutation?”

“Has his curse been activated?”

“Mon… Monster!”

“Impossible… Does the third-generation enhanced Spirit Seal not work?”

Many cries of surprise rang out in the Mental Network.

“Kill him first.”

Huang Minghao certainly would not allow an Occupational Person to transform into a monster and wreak havoc in his team.

When Cheng Feng screamed and mutated, he fired several bullets into Cheng Feng’s head.

The specially-made bullets completely extinguished Cheng Feng’s Spirituality.

“He… can he control curses?”

Zi’s voice rang out in shock.

“This is not the Curse of the Ancient God, it’s merely the negative impact brought by the collapse of the mind. However, the effect seems to be quite similar…”

Su Lu calmly proclaimed, “To master the mind is to almost master everything… For example, I can influence you all with madness, forcing you to attack each other. Or I can gauge an Occupational Person’s strength. These are all basic operations.”

Han Fan’s eyes shone as he listened to Su Lu’s words.

The mysteries of the Spirit World, its multi-layered structure – these were all areas he had not yet explored. They seemed to contain the deepest mysteries of the world.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were now on opposing sides, and that Su Lu was a stingy man who would never teach his real skills, Han Fan might have even declared Su Lu his master on the spot.

“For instance… through the observation of the mind, I know that Tony and several foreign powerhouses are hidden among you.”

Su Lu stated calmly.

“What?” Zi’s face changed drastically, and she shot Huang Minghao a fierce glare. Almost immediately, she noticed several auras in the Mental Network growing and shifting dramatically…

“Truly the Spirit King. The ‘Cloak of the Soul’, the latest technology developed by our country, can fool even a fifth-level telekineticist, but it cannot deceive you.”

The figure of an ordinary member of Skyweb shimmered and changed into Thunder God Tony. He whistled, “To be honest, I didn’t want to be your enemy. But alas…”

In a sigh, his high tech combat blade surfaced, flickering with electric lights.

Han Fan took a deep breath, pulled out his hairpin, and turned it into a mage sword.

Both were formidable Transcendents with incredibly powerful single-target attacks. No Occupational Person could guarantee coming out unscathed from their combined onslaught.

“This time, Bai Jing is done for. As for the consequences of calling foreign reinforcements? No matter, I’ll just retire when I get back. What’s one more punishment?”

Huang Minghao’s expression twisted.

“Gill isn’t here, at least that’s a relief.”
