Chapter 352: Chapter 209: The One-Shotted Genius

The Virtual Source Network is the medium that connects various worlds in another dimension.

In the Virtual Source Network, the clans favored by the Nine Great Ecosystems remained aloof and transcendent.

This was evident from the nine Holy Cities towering within the Virtual Source Network, each representing its respective ecosystem.

The various clans of the Nine Great Ecosystems each had different attitudes toward outsiders.

Some ecosystems were high-profile and aggressive.

Others were reserved, peaceful, and unconcerned with worldly affairs.

The public documents on the Virtual Source Network contained no information about the Nine Great Ecosystems or the clans belonging to them.

However, some information about the ecosystems still circulated on the Virtual Source Network.

Among them, the Ancient Beast Ecology’s attitude toward outsiders was extremely aggressive, and the Ancient Beast Race of the Fierce Beast was one of its clans.

It was renowned among the factions of the Nine Great Ecosystems, and members of the Ancient Beast Race of the Fierce Beast had left a vivid mark on many battlefields.

Zhong Yi was unaware of all this, but he was still shocked by Huo Rui’s outstanding abilities.

’Huo Rui has a Second Transformation Beast Soul Bloodline. It’s obvious her Bloodline has already been enhanced once.’

’The higher a clan’s Bloodline level, the harder it is to enhance it.’

’For Huo Rui to have enhanced her Bloodline strength once while still at the First Level...’

’...it means she must possess extremely high Talent within her clan.’

’And she must be highly valued in this clan called the Ancient Beast Race of the Fierce Beast.’

’Otherwise, she wouldn’t have an orange Fate Grid.’

’Huo Rui has mastered a complete Rule. The Sound Strike Beast Ability is a product of the Fierce Beast’s Bloodline combined with the Sound Transformation Rule.’

’Whenever Huo Rui emits overlapping sounds from her Bloodline, by consuming a small portion of her own Beast Soul...’

’...the Ancient Beast Soul and the Bloodline sounds will transform into smaller Fierce Beasts.’

’These small Fierce Beasts are like avatars of Huo Rui, capable of hunting nearby targets on their own.’

’When Huo Rui fuses the Beast Soul born from her Bloodline with the environment beneath her feet, the area fused with the Beast Soul will transform into a domain called the Earth-bound Beast Realm.’

’Huo Rui can absorb Energy from this domain to replenish her own, and she can also continuously accumulate environmental Energy within her Beast Soul.’

’The Earth-bound Beast Realm Ability can synergize with both Sound Strike Beast and Fierce Beast Descent.’

’The small Fierce Beasts created through Sound Strike Beast can move freely within the area covered by the Earth-bound Beast Realm.’

’This greatly increases the attack range of these small Fierce Beasts.’

’As for the Fierce Beast Descent Ability, it’s equivalent to a burst-type offensive measure.’

’By continuously absorbing environmental Energy with the Earth-bound Beast Realm, she accumulates it in her Beast Soul.’

’Once the Energy in her Beast Soul reaches a certain level, Huo Rui can burn her own Bloodline to transform the Beast Soul—which normally exists like a spirit behind her—into a real Fierce Beast.’

’In addition to these three offensive Abilities, Huo Rui also has a Defense Type Ability.’

’The Heroic Soul Protection Ability is like equipping Huo Rui with an invincible shield.’

’Only when an attack exceeds the upper limit of what her Beast Soul can withstand will Huo Rui take damage.’

’Any attack that doesn’t exceed the Beast Soul’s threshold cannot harm her.’

’Since everyone is at the First Level, without an excellent burst-damage technique, one doesn’t even have the right to injure Huo Rui.’

Such a Bloodline left Zhong Yi utterly shocked!

’From the perspectives of offense, defense, and combat flexibility, the Ancient Beast Race of the Fierce Beast is truly impeccable.’

’Unfortunately, in a Soul of Battle duel within the Virtual Source Network, I can’t form a Contract with my opponent using the Soul Taming Seed.’

In his previous battles, Zhong Yi had always been the one on the offensive.

But now, relying on his five available Guardian Beasts and without using his Order Beast, Resurrection Celestial Lord, he most likely couldn’t defeat Huo Rui.

’Hong Ji does have the ability for Tier Jumping combat, but compared to burst-type techniques, her strength lies in her excellent sustained combat capability.’

’She can replenish her own energy during battle by consuming the corpses of her enemies.’

’The materials inside her body are basically Hong Ji’s mobile armory.’

’Using Hong Ji’s burst attack—a continuous bombardment with previously absorbed materials—would probably have a hard time breaking through Huo Rui’s defense.’

’And as for Lan Po and Ice Glaze, their burst techniques are inferior to Hong Ji’s.’

’In a Soul of Battle duel, I can’t count on the Endless Wood Demon.’

’Once Huo Rui uses her Sound Transformation Rule and Sound Strike Beast to summon multiple Fierce Beasts, it will be difficult for me to protect myself with just the Rejection Crystal Bee.’

’So far, my Rejection Crystal Bee has only produced six sub-bees.’

Zhong Yi’s Ranking Competition had reached its fifth match. One more win and he would be rated as a C Level Talent.

He would be able to enjoy up to sixty free uses of the Energy Transmission Platform per year.

If for no other reason, just for the benefit of three hundred Divine Origin Value, Zhong Yi had to win!

’To defeat Huo Rui, I need to rely on the damage accumulated by Resurrection Celestial Lord within its Exclusive Trait, Withered Oasis, to instantly kill my opponent.’

After summoning Hong Ji and Lan Po, Zhong Yi immediately issued orders to both of them.

’Huo Rui will definitely use her Earth-bound Beast Realm Ability. After using it, she won’t be able to move and will be a stationary damage dealer.’

’I’ll have Hong Ji and Lan Po tie Huo Rui down to further restrict her movement.’

’This will allow Resurrection Celestial Lord to land the damage accumulated in Withered Oasis stably and accurately on Huo Rui.’

Zhong Yi had no intention of making small talk with Huo Rui, but she unhurriedly took the initiative to communicate with him.
