161: Chapter 161 I assessed my abilities and felt I could do it.
Outside the building.
The Holy Jade King Dragon was summoned, and golden light filled the sky as the Domain, Land of Gold and Jade, expanded, enveloping the precarious building. The outer walls were instantly plated in a layer of gold.
Seeing Pan Xuan preparing to strike, the fire dragon beneath Xie Heng's feet suddenly shuddered. Violent Fire Elements continuously gathered toward the fire dragon, charging up for the upcoming attack.
Just then, a sudden change occurred.
The rock elements between heaven and earth were mobilized, and a continuous stream of energy surged from the ground, ignoring the Domain's Seal to rush into the building.
Yue Yun's health bar, which had dropped by three-quarters, suddenly shuddered.
The illusory health bar underwent a drastic change; its six-meter length instantly stretched and expanded tenfold, reaching a terrifying scale of sixty meters, and the depleted health was fully restored in an instant.
Pan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
"Are you kidding me?"
Xie Heng's jaw nearly dropped in surprise.
He had naturally heard of Yue Yun's uniqueness and had seen the battle videos from the competition, but he had still prepared far too little.
He hadn't expected Yue Yun's health to far exceed what it once was. Relying on the ultimate move known as Thousand Army Parting, he could reach such a terrifying level. It was simply unheard of!
It wasn't just Xie Heng who was surprised.
The other officers from the Administration Bureau were also dumbfounded, and even the Beast Tamers with contracted exotic beasts were stunned.
Their movements involuntarily slowed, their attention drawn to the sixty-meter health bar that had suddenly appeared and was suspended in the sky.
Whoosh!
A figure leapt out from the third-floor window.
The figure was surrounded by black energy. Dense dark power had already occupied every inch of its flesh, providing a strength that allowed it to land steadily after jumping from the third floor, continuing to run outward at extreme speed as if nothing had happened.
"A human?"
"No, it looks like a person whose Physical Body has been possessed by a Pet Beast of the Ghost Species!"
Relying on his Mental Energy as a Six-Star Beast Tamer, Xie Heng immediately sensed the state of the figure. Then, using the physical enhancement brought by his Contract Power, he saw the opponent's situation clearly.
Boss Zhao's eyes were vacant and overtaken by a grayish-white hue, and his body looked as if it had been sliced open by some weapon with sharp force.
Clearly, he had long since lost his life.
The wounds that sliced open the body were clean and neat, held together only by that massive dark power, and it was only through the manipulation of that dark power that he could burst forth with non-human speed.
Bang!
The next second after everyone saw Boss Zhao's corpse, the third-floor wall was forcibly smashed open. An ancient and majestic Terracotta Warrior leapt out, wielding a blood-stained three-pronged halberd in pursuit.
The Divine General, Yue Yun's Incarnation, held the three-pronged halberd and charged across the ground like a war chariot. The golden light of his Super Armor was enough to crush everything in its path.
Actually, Yue Yun was also quite puzzled.
Logically, when a Beast Tamer dies, the contracted Pet Beasts or exotic beasts should suffer mental trauma due to the collapse of the Soul space.
After Boss Zhao was finished off by his blade, the Ghostly Exotic Beast hadn't suffered any mental damage. Instead, it immediately occupied Boss Zhao's corpse and began to flee.
Is this a unique trait of the Ghost Species?
Yue Yun made a bold guess in his heart.
Feeling that surging Aura getting closer and closer, the Ghostly Exotic Beast occupying Boss Zhao's corpse was filled with horror.
The Ghostly Exotic Beast squeezed the remaining Contract Power from the corpse, releasing a skill to increase its speed, pulling out one afterimage after another amidst the surging dark power.
These afterimages blocked Yue Yun's path and suddenly exploded with a bang, the powerful impact tearing through the earth and sending dust flying.
The sixty-meter-long health bar shuddered imperceptibly.
The explosion of the afterimages only chipped away a tiny sliver of health. The Divine General that Yue Yun had transformed into was like a war chariot, standing firm amidst the explosions and resolutely crushing toward the enemy at high speed.
Bang, bang, bang!
The afterimages exploded continuously like ignited firecrackers.
Before the Ghostly Exotic Beast could even feel happy, it saw that the Divine General, Yue Yun's Incarnation, was covered in the golden light unique to Super Armor.
Seeing the distance closing, the Divine General leapt high, swung the three-pronged halberd forward, and easily cleared nearly thirty meters.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The Ghostly Exotic Beast almost pissed itself in fear.
The Divine General not only possessed the defensive power provided by his armor but also an unparalleled amount of health and the god-tier skill of Super Armor that everyone dreamed of, which ignored control effects.
Not only that, but even his mobility was so terrifying!
The Ghostly Exotic Beast wanted to try its old trick again, but the Divine General gave it no chance, striking it down with a slash from a distance.
Boss Zhao's corpse was nearly shattered, yet it was forcibly held together by the dark power that had occupied every inch of its flesh.
The threat of death was rapidly magnifying.
The Ghostly Exotic Beast felt a surge of panic for no reason. Regardless of the impact of losing Boss Zhao's corpse, it withdrew the dark power controlling the body and pulled away.
No matter how powerful the Divine General was, his attacks were physical.
The Ghostly Exotic Beast just happened to be immune to physical attacks!
However, while the ideal was beautiful, reality was harsh.
The Divine General thrust the Evil Qi-laden three-pronged halberd forward. His indomitable Aura tore through the dark power and pierced directly into Boss Zhao's already dilapidated corpse.
Breaking Thousand Armies!
Boundless rock elements flooded into Boss Zhao's corpse, as if Mount Tai were pressing down with infinite majesty, bringing a peculiar Seal ability that trapped the Ghostly Exotic Beast inside the body.
The Ghostly Exotic Beast was dumbfounded.
It hadn't occupied Boss Zhao's corpse out of sentiment, but rather to use its Talent to maintain the Soul space Boss Zhao had established, delaying the mental damage caused by the space's collapse.
Who would have thought the Divine General actually possessed a Seal ability!
The Divine General pulled out the three-pronged halberd with a front kick. Boss Zhao's corpse and the Ghostly Exotic Beast Sealed within seemed to be filled with heavy rock elements, suppressed and unable to resist.
Divine Dragon Tail Swipe!
The Evil Qi-laden three-pronged halberd, shrouded in rock elements, erupted with a heavy and powerful horizontal slash, tearing through the air.
The heavy and sharp slash pulverized Boss Zhao's corpse. The Ghostly Exotic Beast Sealed inside was also severely injured; its dark power was forcibly torn apart, and its once strong Aura instantly withered.
The thick, almost physical black mist dissipated, unable to form a twisted, blurry humanoid silhouette. All that remained was a single eye, condensed from pure malice, still flickering with a red light.
This single eye was the size of a fist and was the core of the Ghost Species Pet Beast; it would only perish if this was destroyed.
Stomp!
The Divine General raised his foot and stepped on the single eye.
The Divine General's towering figure dissipated in golden flames, revealing Yue Yun's figure with Miao Sang perched on his shoulder, his Aura perfectly fine.
"Falling into my hands, you're in for some real suffering!"
He grinningly picked up the single eye. The red light it emitted flickered rapidly as if pleading for mercy, but it was completely ignored.
When Pan Xuan walked over slowly, he happened to see Yue Yun holding that single eye in one hand and a rock he had picked up from somewhere in the other, frantically rubbing the two together.
Pan Xuan's face darkened at the sight.
"What are you doing?"
"I wanted to see if a Ghost Core feels pain."
Yue Yun tossed the rock away and threw the Ghostly Exotic Beast's single eye to Pan Xuan, sticking his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened.
After confirming that Yue Yun was unharmed, Pan Xuan breathed a complete sigh of relief and gave a pointed reminder.
"Act within your means!"
"I did gauge my strength, and I think I can do it!"
