Chapter 543: Chapter 255: Sharing the Spoils, Quick Battle, 10 Fearless Volcanoes

At this thought, the corners of Lin Feng’s mouth lifted slightly. With Ling Yi at his side, he selected another of Qin Hu’s Genetic Warriors.

After the warrior absorbed the Mental Energy Ball and left the area, sixty-eight Trial Takers remained in the Mental Realm World.

"Let’s go. On to the next one. We need to pick up the pace!"

Lin Feng said calmly, leading everyone away.

......

For the next few days, similar scenes played out continuously across the Mental Realm World.

Three days later, after the group had killed the fortieth King Spine Zerg with the Unyielding Realm, only thirty Genetic Warriors remained.

The soldiers under Qin Hu, including himself and seven others, had become the trial’s core combat force.

In the course of those forty kills, he had contributed significantly, managing to break through the King Spine Zergs’ defenses on several occasions. The Tiger-toothed Chainsaw Sword in his hand had already shattered multiple times.

Lin Feng’s Genetic Combat Team had also sent off eleven members to absorb Energy Balls and leave the Mental Realm World, leaving twenty-three members remaining.

The thirty remaining active volcanoes were all situated in the inner region of the Mental Realm World. They formed two groups: an outer ring of twenty volcanoes embodying the Unyielding Realm, and an inner circle of ten volcanoes, each nearly two thousand meters tall.

Even without needing to see them, everyone could clearly feel that the aura emanating from the ten inner volcanoes was worlds apart from the Unyielding Realm of the outer ones.

"That is the Spine Zerg Race’s most powerful group Mental Realm: the Fearless, representing the courage of swarm warfare!"

Before anyone could ask, Ling Yi began to explain:

"These ten Fearless Volcanoes should be the final challenge of this trial."

Lin Feng’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Do you know the specific effects of the Fearless Realm?"

Ling Yi nodded.

"Fearless means to be without fear. It’s a morale buff the Spine Zerg Race receives when they begin a death charge."

"When a King Spine Zerg attacks, it releases the Fearless Realm. Every other King Spine Zerg that answers this call provides a 5% bonus to all attributes for each other."

"So, the more King Spine Zergs that gather in the cluster, the higher the bonus from the Fearless Realm. Its range is over a one-kilometer radius, and if you gather twenty of them, it can provide a 100% bonus to all attributes..."

"Including Life Force, Physical Strength, and Spiritual Power!"

"However, a situation like that is rare. It’s difficult to get them to gather unless they are called by a Tier Four Spine King."

"After all, there’s inherent competition between high-tier beings of the same race. Plus, the King Spine Zergs with the Unyielding Realm are naturally sedentary, while the rare few with the Slaughter Realm are basically universally despised lunatics."

As he spoke, Ling Yi’s tone shifted, and he turned to the forty remaining Genetic Warriors.

"But that’s just for King Spine Zergs. As Genetic Warriors who have retained your sanity, I think you all have a much clearer idea of the potential impact of the Fearless Realm."

"If used properly, this ability can be even more powerful than the resurrection effect of the Unyielding Realm!"

"This is a tangible power-up. Especially when hunting a High-tier Zerg, you only need twenty Genetic Warriors who have mastered Realm Power to give all members a 100% boost to all their abilities!"

"Of course, there probably isn’t any High-tier Zerg that would require twenty Tier Three Powerhouses to take down. But in large-scale military operations, especially something like the defense of the Capital, this Mental Realm of Fearless Charge becomes critically important."

"A Tier Three Genetic Warrior can provide about a 5% boost, while a Tier Two Peak Warrior who has mastered the Unyielding Realm can provide at least a 2% boost."

"Moreover, Genetic Warriors are much smaller. Even if their Fearless Realm only covers a radius of one or two hundred meters, it could still fit hundreds of Genetic Warriors!"

After Ling Yi finished, everyone present was deeply tempted. This was especially true for Qin Hu, who had been silent until now. He walked directly up to Lin Feng, the intention in his eyes unmistakable.

Lin Feng nodded, not even waiting for Qin Hu to speak before making a promise:

"First, we’ll take care of the remaining twenty Unyielding Volcanoes. After that, we’ll choose the strongest among you to challenge the final ten Fearless Volcanoes."

"You all should prepare yourselves in advance."

Hearing Lin Feng’s proposed plan, Qin Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. ’To him, the thirty men under his command have already successfully mastered the Unyielding Realm and can pass the trial to leave this place... but what’s most needed now is a leader who can bring them all together and forge them into a single, cohesive force.’

The emergence of the Fearless Realm clearly filled Qin Hu’s most pressing need.

Besides, there was the 2% boost to all Attributes. With the current thirty-six Peak Genetic Warriors, that would translate to a massive 72% buff!

It was like having a super aura in a group battle, giving every teammate a buff of over 70%.

Combined with the resurrection effect of the Unyielding Realm, Qin Hu was completely confident that under the buff of these various Mental Realms, he could lead his team of Tier Two Peak warriors to kill a Tier Three Early Stage Mother Empress!

Therefore, no matter what, he had to absorb the Mental Realm Energy Ball from one of the last ten Fearless Volcanoes.

Otherwise, all the Unyielding Realms they had acquired would be wasted on pure defense, unable to be consolidated into a single force for taking the offensive.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had no intention of taking it all for himself.

’The main reason is that the Genetic Combat Team’s role in the Salvation Army isn’t as the primary fighting force. Their development ceiling, along with the instability of their Zerg Race hybrid genes, destined them to be an unpredictable element. Considering all this, the Genetic Warriors under my command have always been treated as an experimental observation project.’
