137: Strategic weapons can be used, but they cannot be absent.

Through inquiries with Nether One, Lin Chuan had already learned that their desire to advance to King Rank was not as simple as mere mutualDevour or slaughter.

Every King-level Nether Beast or Nether Spirit almost corresponds to a King Rank fallen, or at least one with King Rank Potential.

However, after a King Rank Demon Beast falls, it doesn't mean it can directly become a King-level Nether Beast; instead, it must start from Monarch Rank Peak and then undergo another King Rank advancement process.

Among these, it's not 100% successful. But even so, it's much better than having no potential.

If a Yao Beast's potential didn't reach King Rank during its life, its Nether Spirit after death would also find it difficult to advance to King Rank.

This damn bloodline theory, even after death, there are still distinctions.

Difficult, at least it means there's still a chance.

First, various battles and slaughters are inevitable.

Any creature grows fastest in battle.

Lin Chuan is an exception; he cheats.

Secondly, the most important thing is to devour a king-rank soul pearl.

Devouring a king-rank soul pearl signifies having the qualification to advance to King Rank; the rest depends entirely on one's own fighting.

Even Old Hei's Nether Domain Space, if a king-rank soul pearl is thrown in, can only yield a Monarch-level Nether Beast with King Rank Potential at its Peak.

"A king-rank soul pearl, I wonder how much military merit it costs!"

Lin Chuan sighed.

King-level Nether Beasts battling Beast Tamers of the same rank can at least exert a five-fold advantage, and it's not as simple as mere addition.

Even five against one, you might not be able to touch the opponent, yet the opponent can instantly kill any one of your King Rank, breaking them down one by one.

Therefore, hunting King Rank is by no means easy.

Lin Chuan even suspected that within Yu Ming Academy and Yu Ming Army, it might be possible to exchange for monarch-rank soul orbs at most. King Rank are simply too difficult to kill.

Thinking about these now is useless. For now, the plan is to accumulate military merit, and mass-produce more Monarch Rank. Even if there are no King Rank temporarily, at least safety is not an issue.

At this rate, ten Monarch-rank Spirit can be produced in a day.

Lin Chuan's goal is at least a hundred... a week later.

"Lin Chuan, I succeeded!"

Xia Siye's face was full of excitement.

Just now, he finally instantly killed an Elite Rank Peak defensive Nether Beast with one move.

This indicates that his strength has reached the Peak of this stage.

Killing more Elite Rank Nether Beasts will not bring further improvement.

And he was only Silver Six-star, originally deliberately slowing down his star advancement to accumulate as many passives as possible, which now seemed a bit ridiculous.

It was said that after Long Chenhao's injuries healed, he pushed hard and had already reached Nine-star Peak, ready to advance to Diamond at any time.

However, Xia Siye didn't care. Being able to max out his Elite Rank passives was enough for him; he originally thought it would take at least one to two years.

But he got it done in just over a week.

"Old Xia, congratulations! Truly, peerless among your peers!"

Lin Chuan was also happy for his roommate.

This past week, besides killing monsters to stack passives, Xia Siye either rested or picked up soul orbs.

In fact, he spent even more time picking up soul orbs.

If it weren't for the assistance of the Shadow Clone, Xia Siye would probably have died from exhaustion.

"Damn, do I have the right to say 'peerless among my peers' in front of you?"

Xia Siye said with a wry smile.

"Of course you do. After all, big brother is already Diamond, and you're only Silver, haha..."

"Damn!"

Peerless among his peers, Xia Siye certainly had the right to claim.

If Long Chenhao and Xia Siye were to duel, Long Chenhao would definitely be the one to die.

With his current attack intensity, a Diamond Peak Beast Tamer relying solely on his own physique wouldn't be able to withstand it.

If Lin Chuan didn't have Old Hei's [Loyal Protection of Master], he wouldn't be able to withstand it either.

"Since you've had enough of Elite Rank, let's change places."

Saying that, Lin Chuan had Old Hei charge towards the Commander Rank territory.

In the past few days, as Old Hei kept changing locations, they had gotten closer and closer to the Commander Rank territory.

Xia Siye: ???

"You're not kidding, are you?" Xia Siye exclaimed.

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Little Ling's [advancement fruit] is still a bit short, and it can only be improved by killing Commander Rank.

"No, Commander Rank, I really can't fight them."

Xia Siye said helplessly.

Is everyone as abnormal as you?

"It's fine, just like before, when they're severely injured, you just finish them off.

Old Xia, this is your only chance, there won't be such a good thing next time."

Lin Chuan said with a smile.

He could still help Xia Siye out now, but later, the two would definitely have to act separately.

No choice, Lin Chuan's rank was too high, and the places he went to were inaccessible to Xia Siye.

Lin Chuan also had too many secrets; with one more person, he couldn't act freely.

Moreover, after Xia Siye returns this time, he will definitely plan to advance to Diamond first, and he probably won't enter the Nether Domain Space for a while.

"Then I'll accompany you, even if it costs my life."

Xia Siye also became resolute.

It's just Commander Rank, even though he hadn't killed one, he had at least seen Lin Chuan kill them.

If one strike isn't enough, then a few more... "Let's agree beforehand, in Commander Rank territory, don't you..."

Xia Siye hadn't finished speaking.

He heard two "sizzle..." sounds.

Lin Chuan had already sprayed out his specially formulated mosquito repellent.

"Damn! You can just say you want me dead!"

Xia Siye was almost frantic, already anticipating the scene that was about to unfold.

Dozens of Commander-rank Nether Beasts, like a steel torrent, came crashing over.

The smallest ones were over twenty meters in size.

However, compared to Old Hei's five-hundred-meter size, they weren't even considered little brothers; they were not on the same magnitude.

Dozens of Nether Beasts surrounded Old Hei, attacking ferociously.

Old Hei was as solid as a rock, unmoving, and Little Ling had long since equipped him with Sword Armor.

"Lin Chuan, why don't I go scout instead, to prevent Monarch Rank from being drawn over."

Xia Siye naturally wasn't worried about these Commander Rank; he was worried about Monarch Rank.

After all, when they were in Elite Rank territory, some Commander Rank were drawn over. Now that they're in Commander Rank territory, it's very easy to attract Monarch Rank!

"No need, you can rest assured with my actions! There's a Commander Rank almost dead over there, hurry up and finish it off!"

Lin Chuan urged.

"..."

Xia Siye had no choice but to pray that nothing would really happen.

In fact, Xia Siye's worries had already come true.

The day before yesterday, a Monarch-level Nether Beast had already been attracted within a 20-kilometer radius, just a step away from Old Hei.

However, subsequently, this Monarch-level Nether Beast faced a brutal and inhumane beating from over a dozen Monarch Rank humanoid Nether Spirits. In less than a minute, it was directly blown apart, leaving behind a Monarch Rank soul orb.

Currently, Lin Chuan's Monarch-rank Spirit already numbered over eighty, divided into ten small teams, with Nether One to Nether Ten as team leaders. The ten small teams were dispersed within a twenty to fifty-kilometer radius of Lin Chuan, scouting for enemy situations, primarily to prevent Monarch Rank from breaking through.

Lin Chuan's goal was for each team to have at least ten members. They would hunt freely, mainly targeting Monarch-level Nether Beasts. The soul orb acquired by the team did not need to be handed over but could be consumed on the spot, prioritizing the team leader. Lin Chuan was now preparing to create King-rank Nether Spirit.

Once successful, his strength would completely ascend to a new level.

King Rank are strategic weapons.

They can be unused, but they cannot be absent.

Who made him a mere Diamond, constantly coveted by various Diamond Rank and King Rank!
