145: Annihilation
Appearing along with it was an incredibly powerful aura; He Liangshu's hair on his forehead moved without wind, blowing his bangs upwards.
Another King Beast appeared; one could only say that this was truly a scion of a Liuguang City aristocratic family. How could someone from the Lower City compare to others?
Luo Chen sighed softly. This was the first time he wanted to proactively do something; this world shouldn't be like this.
Those ordinary people without resources, despite having talent, had no way to obtain suitable Beasts, thus being unable to fully utilize their talents.
Moreover, it wasn't something that effort alone could solve. Aristocratic families had already monopolized too many resources.
Perhaps State Elder Zhuang Sheng wanted to change this situation, which was why he published most of his ordinary Beast evolution information.
As for some rare Evolution Paths not being published, Luo Chen also had a faint guess.
With most resources monopolized by aristocratic families, even if published, those ordinary Beast Masters would have no way to obtain the corresponding resources for evolution. Even if published, it would only further strengthen the power of the great aristocratic families.
While Luo Chen was still pondering in his mind, He Liangshu, on the battlefield, looked at Streaming Fire and the Ice Flame True Body coming towards him and let out a sinister laugh.
"Lower City dweller, let me show you my talent."
His hands reached out towards his two Beasts respectively, and then fragmented light shimmered into existence from their bodies.
The exhausted Three-Eyed Armor Lion King's body grew even larger, suddenly almost matching the nearly twenty-meter tall Ice Flame True Body.
Not only that, its combat power received a huge boost, even able to suppress the Ice Flame True Body in return.
And the unconscious Jade Scale Two-Headed Snake also slowly woke up from its spot. Between its two heads, there was a faint trend of a third head appearing, and shallow white patterns appeared on the jade scales on its body.
The aura on its body was also vastly different from before. Wind began to flow around its body, blowing the surrounding ice-blue flames that had gathered towards it away.
In a short amount of time, the auras of the two Beasts underwent tremendous changes.
Their previous performance was at the King-Ranked Beast two-star State, but now they could completely reach four stars. One had to admit that this kind of improvement was terrifying.
According to Luo Chen's deduction, He Liangshu's talent must be the ability to temporarily boost a Beast's combat power.
Actually, Luo Yang wasn't impossible to win against; as long as he dragged on for enough time, waiting for this State's buff to pass, and then counterattack, his chances of winning were still very high.
However, the difficulty lay in whether Luo Yang could truly endure the duration of this State while facing the attacks of three Beasts.
Luo Chen, watching from the audience seats, looked at the third pine-Type Beast behind He Liangshu.
"race: Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine
Rank: King Beast Three Stars
Type: Wood Type, Mental Type
State: Silent
Aptitude: Excellent
Skills: 1. Agile Barrier (Profound Tier): The Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine summons a barrier covering a large area in the target region.
2. Crane Spirit (Earth Tier): The Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine can absorb the mental energy of a large number of killed crane-Type Beasts to nurture a Crane Spirit, which possesses independent Skills (related to the Skills of the crane-Type Beasts it devoured).
3. Myriad Pine Needles (Profound Tier): Launches pine needles to strike the target.
4. Spirit Gathering (Profound Tier): Gathers spiritual energy within a certain range around itself.
5. Spirit Infusion (Earth Tier): The Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine infuses a large amount of spiritual energy into the target's body, temporarily increasing its combat power.
6. Old Tree Roots (Earth Tier): The Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine's root system is extremely vast and complex, capable of spreading over a very large area and attacking at any time by breaking through the earth.
Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked."
The description of the Skill "Crane Spirit" was a bit strange? A hint of curiosity arose in Luo Chen's heart.
However, his curiosity was satisfied the next second.
Because on the sturdy branches of the Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine, a long-bodied white crane suddenly appeared.
As soon as it appeared, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky, then radiated bright light all around, practically transforming into a small sun, plummeting towards Streaming Fire.
Although it was a Spirit Crane summoned as a summon, and might not even possess its own intelligence, the power of its attack was not weaker than that of the other two Beasts at all.
Alright, now Luo Yang and Streaming Fire faced the situation of being attacked by four Beasts.
Even Luo Yang's brows furrowed unconsciously. This Beast Master from Liuguang City was truly tricky; it seemed that without showing some real Skill, it would be truly difficult to win.
Luo Yang's eyes closed slightly, and he murmured softly, "You're not the only one with Beast Master talent."
When his eyes opened again, they were covered by two clusters of ice-blue flames, and then the ice-colored flames spread out from his body to the surrounding area.
Luo Yang's Domain of Ice and Fire unfolded based on Streaming Fire's Skill.
The surrounding ice-blue flames became even more numerous, and a phantom Ice Flame True Body gradually formed behind Luo Yang.
At the same time, the Ice Domain Streaming Fire in the sky became even denser, raining down and often causing considerable damage.
On the other side, as the Crane Spirit gradually approached, Flowing Flame Bullets continuously condensed around Streaming Fire, and substantial-looking blue flames also appeared on its body and claws. Then, it first crouched down, then leaped high, pouncing towards the falling Crane Spirit.
"Bang!"
After a huge explosion, Streaming Fire flew backward, sliding a long distance on the ground.
However, the Spirit Crane also looked somewhat miserable, with half of its wings torn off.
To say it was miserable seemed a bit off, because it wasn't a physical entity after all. When a beam of green light from the Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine hit it, its wings reattached and returned to an undamaged State.
Streaming Fire got up from the ground, a hint of speechlessness in its eyes.
Enough time had already passed; its third Ice Flame True Body also appeared, and two humanoid Ice Flame True Bodies beside Luo Yang were entangled in a fight with the Jade Scale Two-Headed Snake.
"Screech!"
A piercing sound came from beneath the ground. Thick tree roots, like tentacles, broke through the earth, and two three to four-meter thick tree roots swept towards Luo Yang and Streaming Fire respectively.
Caught off guard, they could only hastily dodge.
Where the tree roots struck, the ice on the ground shattered, dust flew, leaving indentations two to three meters deep.
Before they could rest, not only did the thick tree roots that had just fallen return, but another two tree roots emerged from the ground.
Luo Yang and Streaming Fire could only constantly dodge, and the Ice Flame True Bodies also abandoned their opponents and came towards them.
This frantic dodging made Luo Yang feel a surge of frustration. He suddenly stopped, looking at the tree roots striking from different directions.
His two eyes suddenly changed color, one becoming pure white, the other pure black.
A Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol pattern extended from his feet, then continuously expanded.
Luo Yang clasped his hands together horizontally, then rotated them up and down, and the Yin-Yang symbol beneath his feet also spun rapidly. As the rotation speed increased,
the black and white areas beneath his feet seemed to merge and blend together, becoming a dead gray.
The area covered by gray became larger. Luo Yang raised his hands, and a hazy gray mist spread out from the symbol beneath his feet, meeting the two tree roots.
Under the gaze of countless spectators, there was no sound when the two met, but in the eyes of the audience, it was more shocking than any sound.
Those tree roots were lightly 'devoured' by the gray mist. To say devoured wasn't entirely accurate, because besides the point of contact, the further parts of the tree roots were annihilated into powder.
It was as if they had been shredded by a shredder.
However, this was not the end. Luo Yang looked at the other two Beasts and slowly took a step.
As he moved, the hazy gray disc, with a diameter of over ten meters, also moved with him, and a dense gray aura writhed menacingly behind his back, making him seem like a world-destroying Demon Lord.
He first looked at the Three-Eyed Armor Lion King, then at the Jade Scale Two-Headed Snake, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
He spread his hands, a small Tai Chi ring appearing in each, and then he threw his hands towards the two Beasts respectively.
The Tai Chi rings then enveloped the bodies of the two Beasts.
This move from Luo Yang made the two Beasts, who had noticed the commotion, incredibly frightened. They bolted away, trying to escape.
And the rings pursued them relentlessly.
Luo Yang threw out the two Tai Chi rings and no longer paid attention, instead fixing his gaze on He Liangshu.
His body floated up from the ground, closely followed by the large gray ring beneath his feet, and his target was clearly He Liangshu and the Crane Spirit Green Tough Pine behind him.
During this, the Crane Spirit tried to stop him, but after coming into contact with the black mist, it was directly annihilated, with no possibility of recovery.
He Liangshu looked at Luo Yang, who was now like a Demon Lord, killing anyone in his path, a hint of terror in his eyes. Who could tell him what was going on with this boy from the Lower City?
How could he achieve such an effect without his Beast attacking? If this was his talent, then it was too abnormal.
Although he wanted to surrender, as a Middle City dweller and a member of the He family, his pride would not allow him to do so.
So, the Myriad Pine Needles from the pine tree behind him shot towards Luo Yang, and simultaneously, a dozen tree roots instantly emerged from underground. At this point, He Liangshu had used all his methods.
"It's useless."
Luo Yang sighed softly, as if feeling pity for He Liangshu.
Then, behind him, two butterfly wings, one black and one white, appeared.
He took a step, directly bypassing all the Skills unleashed by He Liangshu's Beast, and appeared right in front of He Liangshu.
Looking directly into He Liangshu's disbelieving eyes, he gently raised his right hand in front of him,
and then Luo Yang softly uttered two words, which echoed throughout the now silent venue,
"Annihilation."
