Chapter 1410: Chapter 681: Force devil cicada!_2

Duan Tu, the person in charge of the Second World combat division, had been paying close attention to Yan Luo’s duel, and the feedback from the audience naturally reached Duan Tu’s ears first.

Duan Tu felt wronged by such statements in his heart.

He did initially intend to limit Yan Luo’s advancement to the Hall Stage, but the Eternal Mother Yongle had since educated Duan Tu, making him completely abandon the idea.

It was merely to make Yan Luo’s victory not so easy that the third duel’s opponent was arranged to be the strongest out of the five duels.

Even stronger than the one arranged for the last duel.

Duan Tu was already somewhat regretful of his arrangements, but what he regretted was not making the third opponent for Yan Luo too strong, but rather that the opponents he arranged for the first two were slightly too weak!

After confirming that all Yan Luo had displayed was due to the contract with a Heavenly Disaster Level Ghost Series Summoning Beast, Duan Tu was no longer optimistic about Yang Shi at all.

Faced with such a formidable opponent as Yang Shi, Fang Mu waved his hand with a flourish, summoning a group of dead creatures at the same time.

Fusion Tyrant, Restrained Heart Maggot Girl, Ritual Cemetery Three Treasures, Undead Domain, Secret Walker–Seven previously revealed dead creatures were all summoned by Fang Mu.

After the seven dead creatures were summoned, Fang Mu waved his hand again, calling forth the Light and Dark Devourer that had never been publicly revealed before.

After being summoned, the Light and Dark Devourer kept absorbing the light on the field, darkening the environment around Fang Mu.

The Light and Dark Devourer in front kept posing in bizarre manners, appearing utterly vicious and horrifying.

The audience sitting behind Fang Mu could see the giant evil mouth growing on the back of Light and Dark Devourer’s brain, which was undoubtedly even more ferocious and eerie.

“Damn, Yan Luo still has unsummoned dead creatures! There are already as many as eight summoned now! Although Yang Shi has two Diamond Level pinnacle Insect Beasts, if Yan Luo employs a zerg rush strategy, it’s not necessarily true that he can’t win!”

While summoning Guardian Beasts, Fang Mu was also using the Innate Divine Ability [Eye of Omniscience] of Fool’s Shadow to probe Yang Shi’s two Guardian Beasts.

[Beast Name]: Force Demon Cicada

[Beast Species]: Cicada Family / Long-spined Cicada Genus

[Beast Level]: Diamond (10/10)

[Beast Element]: Metal

[Beast Potential]: Diamond

[Beast Quality]: Legendary

Skills:

[Cicada Sound]: Spend a small amount of energy to make cicada sounds for an extended time, which have a certain deterrent effect on the living beings around, and the cicada sound itself can enhance its own energy recovery ability.

[Power Demon Crystal Wing]: Crystallize the wings on the back so that it cannot fly, but the crystallized wings on the back can deflect in front to resist external force attacks.

[Earth Spike Assault]: Mobilize the surrounding Earth Element Energy to harden, forming earth spikes with a piercing effect to attack the target in succession.

[Adhesive Acid]: Spew out highly adhesive acid, which clings to the flesh when it lands on a target, continuously corroding the target’s flesh and cannot be removed by Elemental Energy due to its strong corrosive nature.

[Force Demon Strangler]: Unfurl insect limbs to hold the target, firmly restrain them with the thorns on the limbs, and crush the target using strong Earth Element pulses.

Exclusive Traits:

[Fortified Insect Armor]: Increase the sturdiness of its own insect armor, specialize the armor so that the spines formed at the ends of the insect armor become sharper, and can accelerate the repair of the insect armor by secreting insect protein when the insect armor is damaged.

[Poisonous Energy Recovery]: When attacking a living creature’s body with poison, the Life Energy consumed by the poison corroding the living creature will be converted into insect protein and Recover Energy, reverting back to itself.

[Second Bug Stage]: Continuously stimulate its own ferocity in battle, and when it reaches a certain degree, it will enter the Second Bug Stage. In the Second Bug Stage, all of its dimensions will gain a significant boost for a short time.

…

[Beast Name]: Red Curse Spider

[Beast Species]: Orb-weaver family/Kou Spider genus

[Beast Level]: Diamond Level Ten out of Ten

[Beast Element]: Metal

[Beast Potential]: Diamond

[Beast Quality]: Legendary

Skill:

[Sticky Spider Web]: The spider web spit out by itself has ultra-high stickiness, which, upon contact with non-blessed targets, will cause those targets to fall into a Red Curse state.

[Spider Kiss Blessing]: Bless a specified target, allowing the blessed target to delay the loss of Life Energy when taking damage, retaining Life Energy within their body for a short period and slowing its depletion.

[Penetrating Red Thread]: Pulls out a specialized spider silk thread from its abdomen with strong piercing and stickiness. This thread can be wrapped around the bodies of allied insect creatures and turned into highly defensive Insect Armor at any time. When attacking enemy targets, the silk has the effect of breaking defenses and instantly applies three layers of Red Curse status to the target.

[Red Curse Strangler]: Each layer of Red Curse status can quickly induce weakness and paralysis effects in the target. When reaching three layers of Red Curse, the target enters a Vulnerable State, and ensuing attacks will inflict triple the original damage.

[Instant Web Sting]: The creature can instantly move to any part of the spider web to sting the beings on the web. Each sting grants the target two layers of Red Curse status.

Exclusive Traits:

[Silk Gland Amplification]: Expand the capacity of its own silk gland to spit out more spider silk and increase the secretion speed of the silk gland.

[Curse Intensification]: When its energy is abundant, sacrificing a part of its own energy to enhance the impact of the curse on the target.

[Terrifying Spider Pattern]: Infuses itself into the spider web being spit out, turning the web into a tool that spreads fear, inducing a state of dread in nearby creatures, confusing their vision, and causing them to experience terrifying illusions.

From Yang Shi’s cultivation of these two insect Guardian Beasts, it’s evident that he provided them with the most premium cultivating conditions.

If Yang Shi, besides his Destiny Guardian Beast, has only contracted these two Guardian Beasts, then he is taking the most orthodox route for a young Beast Master.

Under contracts with only two main battle Mystic Beasts, he aims to comprehend as many Mysterious Patterns as possible.

Fang Mu’s brothers and sisters all follow this path, which, from a long-term perspective, maximizes the potential of a Beast Master.

However, in a confrontation between two Beast Masters, this approach makes it very easy to reveal one’s hand completely.

From the data, Yang Shi’s two Guardian Beasts appear formidable. Fang Mu is definitely in for a tough battle!

Just then, Fang Mu hears his newly matched opponent say.

“You’re indeed not bad for the under-twenty age group, but if you were in the twenty-to-thirty bracket, you really wouldn’t amount to much.”

“There are many stronger than you. I can just barely rank in the upper tier within the twenty-to-thirty age group, but you will not be my match!”

Upon hearing the square-faced youth’s words, Fang Mu is taken aback, his face showing a look of surprise.

Fang Mu can sense the hostility the square-faced youth harbors against him, although Fang Mu does not recall having met this young man before.

This is the first time Fang Mu hears someone in a public setting so directly assigning him to the upper echelon, which is somewhat arrogant.

Even those whose strength truly reaches the pinnacle rarely boast about themselves in this manner.

As someone who is already accustomed to the exhibition match format in the Second World, plus Fang Mu’s understanding of fan circles from his past life,

If this youth named Yang Shi wins this confrontation, all is well. But if he loses to Fang Mu, he will likely find it difficult to stand firm amidst public opinion in the future!

However, Yang Shi, who is standing across from Fang Mu, clearly has yet to realize the severity of the issue and is looking down on Fang Mu somewhat condescendingly.

But the voices rising from the audience quickly shattered the composure of the strong that Yang Shi had set up!
