49: Chapter 49 Tearing the Chimera Apart

"Fara, take it down!"

"As you command, My Master!" Fara roared, his voice making the surrounding air hum.

Immediately after, the golden light on Fara's body exploded, illuminating the dark red plaza with blinding radiance.

Fang Chuan stared at the Divine Domain panel before him, a thought stirring in his mind.

"War Cry, activate!"

"Unparalleled, activate!"

"Chaotic Cloak Fist Technique, activate!"

Fara activated three skills in succession, and all his attributes skyrocketed by 230 percent!

His already massive body expanded further, his muscles bulging high like rocks, and a layer of dark golden luster flowed across the surface of his skin.

Yi, in the sky, wasn't idle either. Spreading his wings of light, his passive skill triggered, instantly granting Fara a 50 percent attack speed boost.

Fara's combat power surged upward rapidly.

1.65 million.

2 million.

3 million.

3.8 million!

And the numbers wouldn't stop; they kept jumping by over 20,000 every second.

The Chimera was no pushover either. Sensing the lethal threat radiating from Fara, it raised all three heads simultaneously and let out an earth-shattering roar.

"Roar!"

Immediately after, the Chimera decided to strike first. The goat head in the middle crackled with purple lightning, the lion head on the left spewed flames, and the cheetah head on the right spat out green toxic mist.

The three types of energy merged in mid-air, forming a tri-elemental breath attack over ten meters in diameter, which blasted directly toward Fara's face.

This breath attack was incredibly powerful; wherever it passed, the black metal bricks on the ground were melted into pools of molten iron.

Facing this earth-shattering attack, Fara didn't dodge at all. He let out an angry shout, exerted force with his right leg, and kicked a massive boulder weighing several tons beside him.

"Boom!"

The boulder flew out like a cannonball, smashing heavily into the tri-elemental breath. The two forces collided, exploding instantly. The entire plaza shook violently, and a violent energy shockwave spread outward.

Dust filled the sky, obscuring vision.

Zhang Chao and Liu Ruyan were pushed back repeatedly by the shockwave; if not for the Tyrant Follower in front blocking it, they likely would have been sent flying.

"Holy crap! That's way too loud!" Zhang Chao shouted, covering his ears.

Liu Ruyan couldn't see anything and could only hear the Chimera's roars and Fara's bellows from within the dust.

Only Fang Chuan, as the Divine Lord, had his vision unobstructed, clearly observing the battle situation inside.

Outside the arena, in the main control hall.

Everyone stood up.

General Luo Yi stared at the big screen, his fists clenched tightly. "Quick! Keep a close watch on Fara's data! Don't miss a single second!" General Luo Yi ordered loudly.

A row of technicians nearby tapped rapidly on their keyboards.

"Report! Fara's combat power has exceeded 4 million!"

"Report! Fara's physical attack and magic attack are still rising!"

The contempt on the face of Head of the Lu Family, Lu Mengshan, had long vanished, replaced by a livid expression.

He had originally thought Fang Chuan was an ignorant fool, and that provoking an level 80 boss was pure suicide.

Yet now, Fang Chuan's follower had actually erupted with such terrifying combat power!

"This is impossible! How could an F-grade piece of trash cultivate such a monster!" Head of the Lu Family gritted his teeth, feeling a wave of irritation.

His grandson, Lu Hai, was an SSS-grade genius, cultivated by the Lu Family with all their resources. This joint exam's first place had to be Lu Hai's; it concerned the Lu Family's status in Qinghe City.

But now this Fang Chuan had suddenly appeared; if he really took first place, where would the Lu Family's face be?

Qin Yue, head of the Qin Family, laughed out loud nearby. "Oh my, Old Lu, didn't you just say this kid was ignorant? What do you say now? His combat power is the real deal!" Qin Yue didn't hesitate to kick him while he was down.

Lin Hongyuan, head of the Lin family, adjusted his glasses and began to calculate. He thought: This kid has some skills. This follower's skill configuration is too perfect. If we could recruit him to our Lin family to be a helper for Xiaoxiao, the Lin family's strength would definitely rise to another level.

Mayor Li Zhenhua slapped his thigh and shouted, "Good! This kid has guts! That's how you should fight!"

Principal Yao Guishan of No. 1 High School was already overjoyed. He held his thermos, took a big gulp of goji berry water, and turned to Head Teacher Chen Xingyue, saying, "Little Yue, look at this, this is our No. 1 High School's good student! This momentum, this strength, who can compare?"

Head Teacher Chen Xingyue was also full of excitement and nodded repeatedly, "The principal is right; Fang Chuan is usually low-key, but he never drops the ball at critical moments!"

Principal Xiao Mi of No. 3 High School rolled his eyes while listening, silently cursing Yao Guishan for being shameless. He snorted coldly and said, "Principal Yao, don't get happy too soon. This Chimera is a peak Gold-grade boss; high combat power doesn't guarantee a win. Any one of its negative status skills would be enough to give this golden-armored giant a headache."

Principal Yao Guishan glanced sideways at Principal Xiao Mi, curled his lips, and said, "You're just sour grapes because you can't have it. Just keep your eyes peeled and watch how our Fang Chuan rubs this monster into the ground!"

Inside the arena, the dust hadn't yet dissipated, but Fara had already pushed through the aftermath of the explosion and charged directly in front of the Chimera. Close-quarters combat—this was Fara's favorite way to fight! Fang Chuan watched the combat power still rising on the panel, feeling very steady. He knew that Fara was guaranteed to win this battle.

As the dust just began to clear, Fara's massive body had already slammed in front of the Chimera.

The Chimera hadn't reacted at all; while its massive size wasn't at a disadvantage before Fara, it was far too slow. Fara now had a 50 percent attack speed buff, moving as fast as a golden lightning bolt.

"Bang!"

Fara punched the Chimera's left lion head directly. This punch was incredibly powerful, knocking the lion head backward, causing a large chunk of golden mane to fall off, and making it spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with sparks.

The Chimera let out a miserable shriek in pain; the goat head in the middle immediately turned, purple electric arcs danced wildly on its horns, and a thick bolt of lightning struck Fara's chest directly.

"Zzzzt!"

Sparks flew everywhere, and Fara's chest was scorched black.

But with Unparalleled activated, Fara had 60 percent damage reduction; this attack was at most a minor injury for him.

Sure enough, after being struck by the lightning, Fara didn't even take a step back. He raised his hand, wiped the scorched ash from his chest, and his eyes became even more ferocious.

"Is that all you've got? It's not even enough to scratch an itch!" Fara roared, grabbing the two long black horns on the goat head with both hands.

The Chimera's goat head struggled desperately, and purple electric arcs traveled along the horns to Fara's arms, making his arm muscles twitch uncontrollably. But Fara held on tight, stomping his feet hard into the black metal floor, and forcefully forced the Chimera's head downward.

The cheetah head on the right saw the situation was wrong, opened its fang-filled mouth, and bit toward Fara's neck. The cheetah head was extremely fast, carrying a foul, toxic wind.

Fara snorted coldly, his left hand still gripping the goat horn, while his right arm muscles instantly expanded, gathering the terrifying power stacked by the Chaotic Cloak Fist Technique, and he threw a backhand heavy punch, smashing it hard into the cheetah's lower jaw!

"Snap!"

This strike directly knocked the cheetah head sideways, sending a few bloody fangs flying into the air.

Taking this opportunity, Fara made a fist with his right hand and smashed it down toward the goat head's eye.

"Squish!"

With a muffled sound, one of the goat head's eyes was brutally exploded by Fara, splashing purple liquid all over his face.

"Roar!" The Chimera let out a heart-wrenching shriek, all three heads shaking wildly, its massive body backing away desperately, trying to break free from Fara's control.

But how would Fara give it a chance? The passive effect of the Chaotic Cloak Fist Technique kept stacking, and Fara's current attack power was significantly higher than when the fight started. He lunged forward, riding directly onto the Chimera's neck.

"Get down here!" Fara roared, clutching the two crystal-clear goat horns tightly with both hands, exerting force from his waist, and pulled upward.

"Crack!"

Two teeth-gritting sounds of bone cracking rang out.

Those two incredibly hard goat horns were actually ripped out by the roots by Fara! Blood sprayed out like a fountain from the top of the goat head, dyeing Fara into a blood-soaked figure.

Outside the arena, in the main control hall.

The technicians' keyboards clattered loudly, the sound loud enough to be heard throughout the hall.

"Report! Fara's combat power has exceeded 5 million! Currently, his comprehensive combat power has reached 5.2 million!"

"Report! The Chimera's vital signs have dropped significantly; the goat head in the middle has lost combat capability!"

General Luo Yi listened to the report, pacing back and forth in excitement. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Good! Well fought! It's one thing that this Five-star Believer has strong combat power, but he's actually a rare follower who can buff combat power, and his combat power keeps skyrocketing over time. This is simply a war machine!"

General Luo Yi became more excited the more he watched; from the start of the battle until now, Fara had used four skills, three of which were combat power buffs and one was an armor-piercing skill—he could be considered a very excellent assault-type Five-star Believer.

A technician nearby stared at Yi on the screen, frowning, and said, "General Luo Yi, it's just that the skills of this Five-star Believer in the air are not clear yet. It is temporarily speculated to be a domain-type buff skill, but there is no corresponding record in the database, so it cannot be compared for now."

General Luo Yi waved his hand, not caring at all, and said, "It doesn't matter, this boss is about to die. As long as he wins, who cares what the skill is! This kid Fang Chuan has really given me a huge surprise!"

Head of the Lu Family, Lu Mengshan, sat in his chair, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He watched the Chimera being beaten by Fara on the screen, his heart twitching. This was an level 80 boss! Even if Lu Hai encountered it, he would have to be very careful and kite it for a long time, and he wouldn't necessarily be able to win. Yet Fang Chuan's follower actually went up to engage in hand-to-hand combat and beat the monster until it had no power to fight back!

"Impossible... absolutely impossible. Where on earth did this kid's follower pop out from?" Head of the Lu Family kept muttering.

Principal Yao Guishan leaned over at this moment, smiling and saying, "Old Lu, did you see clearly? This is called strength! What is called crushing? This is called crushing! If your Little Hai encountered this monster, he would probably have to take a detour, right?"

Head of the Lu Family, Lu Mengshan, was so angry he stood up abruptly, pointed at Principal Yao Guishan, and said, "Principal Yao Guishan, stop with the sarcasm! This is just the beginning; there are stronger monsters ahead! I don't believe he can keep being this lucky!"
