94: Void Claw Beast

[Selection confirmed! Obtained Hextech · Qualitative Change: Prismatic Tier]

[Prismatic Rune randomly generated successfully!]

[Current Rune effect: Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation — — Dealing a physical attack increases Spell Attack by 50, dealing a spell attack increases Physical Attack by 50. Stacks can be added infinitely, but have a 10-second duration.]

A gentle yet majestic power instantly surged into his limbs and bones; his physical body and spiritual power blended together, and his offensive and defensive systems quietly underwent a qualitative change.

The moment Lin Yan saw the Prismatic Tier Hextech Physical-Magic Dual Cultivation, his heart was filled with ecstasy once again.

Physical attacks could stack Spell Attack; although he did not have any Spell Attack bonuses, he had Magic to Physical Conversion, which converted all Spell Attack into Physical Attack and provided a 15% boost.

With the two working in tandem, the concept of a tank no longer existed for him in this Dungeon; his attack power would only increase infinitely, and no monster, no matter how tanky, could withstand it.

With the two Hextechs working together, Lin Yan could clearly perceive that his physical and spell powers were no longer separated and began to complement each other.

Just as he was digesting his brand-new abilities, the Dungeon notification sound rang out again, breaking the brief calm in the arena.

[First round of Reincarnation monsters finished spawning!]

Boom, boom, boom — —!!

The void rifts on the eight high walls exploded open simultaneously!

A swarming tide of monsters, accompanied by violent and bloodthirsty roars, poured out frantically from the dark rifts!

Wen Xiaoyou, standing to the side, panicked instantly upon seeing this formation.

She clumsily dodged the charging monsters with hands and feet, her small face full of panic, shouting loudly while dodging: "Save me!"

In her panic, she couldn't care about anything else; she ran quickly in small steps to hide behind Lin Yan, clutching tightly behind him, daring only to peek out half her head, looking timidly at the surging monster tide ahead.

Lin Yan's expression turned stern; he stopped being distracted, gripped his battle axe tightly in his hand, and activated Blood Qi Perception.

[Spell Attack: 10,000]

[Physical Defense: 12,000]

[Spell Defense: 12,000]

[Speed: 2,000]

[Type: Special Monster, possesses skills: 1. Void Rend — — Rends the surrounding void, condensing void energy onto its sharp claws, dealing 20,000 full physical damage to the target and a ten-meter radius around them. Subsequent attacks carry the Void Rend effect, increasing damage by 20%, decreasing the target's defense by 30% for 8 seconds, while the wound is eroded by void energy, causing a loss of 2,000 HP per second. This bleeding effect cannot be completely cleared by conventional healing and lasts for 10 seconds.]

[2. Reincarnation Resurrection — — When HP reaches zero and death is determined, the power of reincarnation is triggered, instantly reshaping the physical body. After resurrection, it recovers 60% of max HP, clears all negative status effects on itself, and temporarily increases all attributes by 20%, damage by 20%, and damage reduction by 20%. Upon resurrection, it instantly unleashes a Void Shock, dealing spell damage to all enemies within 10 meters and forcing a knockback. Can only be triggered once.]

Their bodies were pitch black, muscles knotted, standing two meters tall, with agile and violent physiques.

They were covered in dense, hard, dark purple scales that resisted pressure, slashing, and elemental damage; weapons of ordinary geniuses would only spark when striking them.

Their limbs were long and sharp, and their palms grew five black, curved Void Rending claws. The claw tips tore through space and carried a faint spatial cutting effect, capable of directly tearing apart the physical armor of ordinary Awakened.

The most fatal part was — — these monsters were born in the depths of spacetime turbulence, possessing innate spatial concealment and instantaneous assault characteristics!

Extremely fast speed, extremely high burst, extremely hard body, and tricky combat style!

If an ordinary top genius were to face this wave of monsters alone, they would be instantly engaged in close-quarters combat, have their armor torn, and be crushed to death!

Dozens of Void Rending Claw Beasts appeared simultaneously, their crimson, fierce eyes locked tightly onto the two figures in the arena, foul-smelling saliva dripping from their mouths, and violent killing intent filling the entire octagonal arena!

The series of terrifying attributes scanned by Blood Qi Perception caused even Lin Yan, whose physical body now suppressed other geniuses, to have a look of gravity flash in his eyes.

A single level 25 Reincarnation · Void Rending Claw Beast had attack, defense, and HP that completely broke the cognitive limits of ordinary Contestants.

A massive 250,000 HP, 10,000 attack power, 12,000 dual defense, combined with area-of-effect Rend, percentage-based armor penetration, incurable void bleeding, and even an insane passive that revives and buffs them upon first death.

These were not trial mobs at all; these were Reincarnation monsters that each possessed the standard of an elite BOSS!

And right now, over thirty of them had spawned in the arena at the same time!

Over thirty Void Rending Claw Beasts surrounded the arena from all eight sides, their murderous intent locking down the entire octagonal arena!

If any other top genius from the leaderboard were here alone, they wouldn't need many; if three of them got close at the same time, it would be enough to instantly kill and crush them, leaving no room for struggle.

"Roar — —!!"

A deafening, violent bestial roar exploded!

The thirty-plus Void Rending Claw Beasts kicked off the ground, their black claws tearing through the air, their bodies wreathed in faint black void mist, their forms flickering in and out of existence as they activated spatial instant-movement, surrounding and assaulting from all directions!

Space distorted slightly, and trails of black shadows flickered and shifted, almost evading detection by the naked eye.

The cold, sharp light of their claws, carrying the terrifying force to Rend everything, lunged straight at Lin Yan!

Wen Xiaoyou behind him was already scared pale, shrinking tightly behind Lin Yan, her small hands clutching his clothes, not even daring to raise her head.

Lin Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and used all his items.

Strength Amplification Scroll used!

Agility Amplification Scroll used!

Defense Amplification Scroll used!

Berserk Potion!

Special-Grade Strength Potion!

Drank the Slow-Release HP Potion in advance!

...

Physical Body Dominance fully activated, holding the pitch-black battle axe to meet them head-on!

Swish — —!

The battle axe slashed with full force, a fierce, brute power erupting suddenly!

Clang!!

An ear-piercing, massive metallic clash exploded!

Sparks exploded across the sky!

This heavy strike, fully charged, slashed onto the dark purple scales of the Void Rending Claw Beast, and there wasn't even a mark!

- 682

Scratched!

The first attack dealt less than 1,000 damage.

The massive, solid defense completely locked down his current base output!

At the same time, the Void Rending Claw Beast that had been struck had its ferocity completely ignited; instead of retreating, it advanced, its black claws bringing down the power of a ten-meter radius Void Rend!

Void Rend skill triggered!

Boom!

A void shockwave exploded, and black energy swept in all directions.

Even with Lin Yan's Physical Body Dominance resisting it, his body jolted violently.

[You have received Void Rend damage!]

[Defense reduced by 30%, lasting 8 seconds!]

[Void Erosion Bleeding triggered, losing 2,000 HP per second!]

His HP instantly dropped by a chunk, and the damage numbers from the continuous bleeding kept popping up!

What was even more terrifying was that the remaining monsters around him had already closed in, surrounding and killing him layer by layer, their claws continuously smashing onto his Tyrant Armor.

Bang, bang, bang!

The continuous heavy blows made Lin Yan's arms numb, his blood qi roiling, and he was struggling extremely hard!

If he didn't have the brand-new Prismatic talent buff, with his current base output, trying to grind to death this batch of Reincarnation monsters that had resurrection, self-healing, and super-high defense would simply be a pipe dream.
