Chapter 86: The True Master!

"Captain, what is Qin Ye's background?"

At this moment, Yuan Wei of the Daxia 5S Squad, upon seeing the massive changes on the leaderboard, couldn't help but frown and ask.

"Is he that black-robed Mage with the unusual aura that Lan Ya mentioned?" Bai Fei hurriedly chimed in.

Lan Ya watched the red dot on the map that had remained stationary, and then watched as other green dots were continuously devoured by a newly appeared red dot.

In less than two minutes, almost all the green dots on the map had disappeared, and finally, a single red dot of light appeared once more.

At this very moment, in the entire Peak Secret Realm, besides the four-person squad from Tianhua No. 3 Middle School led by He Muxue, only Zhou Chu and Qin Ye remained.

Furthermore, above the two red dots, the names of the candidates they represented appeared.

Because the Tianhua No. 3 Middle School candidate squad was relatively far from the forest, they avoided the slaughter caused by Qin Ye, who had suddenly exerted his strength from behind.

At this moment, outside the Peak Secret Realm, amidst the incessantly flickering light, the defeated candidates were being teleported out of the Secret Realm one after another.

From their expressions, there was frustration, confusion, and even fear.

Seeing the red dot representing Qin Ye getting closer and closer to the red dot representing Zhou Chu, a trace of anticipation couldn't help but rise in Lan Ya's heart.

Although she had failed to kill Zhou Chu, perhaps Qin Ye could do it.

Lan Ya had originally thought that their S Genius Squad was the most powerful existence in the First Tier, but she hadn't expected that there would always be someone even better.

As for Zhou Chu, she only found out after leaving the Secret Realm that the other party was actually just a candidate who had bound an F-rank Soul Profession.

Recalling how she, an S-rank, had been beaten to death by an F-rank with just two punches, she felt extremely frustrated.

Needless to say, for an F-rank candidate to be able to take two of her sword strikes, he must have had some sort of reliance.

Therefore, in Lan Ya's view, Zhou Chu was nothing more than a tag-along in his squad.

Not only was his strength weak, but he could only do menial tasks like looting corpses and picking up items.

She really didn't know how such a person, who was just making up the numbers, could reach level 15 and get into the First Tier.

A thick sense of frustration couldn't help but well up in her heart, but it didn't affect Lan Ya's mood to watch a good show in the slightest.

It was clear now that Zhou Chu's teammates had all been killed by this person named Qin Ye, and it would be his turn to be sent out of the Secret Realm next.

Qin Ye 142: Zhou Chu 328.

Zhou Chu still held the greatest advantage.

But this was only temporary; soon, this situation would be rewritten.

Lan Ya narrowed her eyes, arms crossed, already prepared to look forward to the moment Zhou Chu was sent out of the Secret Realm.

Inside the Peak Secret Realm.

Just after Zhou Chu had finished looting the battlefield, he once again received notifications that his contracted servants were being continuously killed.

At the same time, Zhou Chu discovered on the map that the green dots that had previously gathered toward him were all gone; instead, a new red dot was rapidly approaching his location.

Just as Zhou Chu was feeling somewhat surprised, a sudden, intense Calamity Aura surged into the forest.

It caused the already dim light to become even colder and darker.

Feeling this familiar and sinister Calamity Aura, Zhou Chu finally realized that the aura he had previously sensed from Qin Ye was exactly this.

"It's a Calamity Source Seed!"

At the same moment, Gadi in the Hero Tomb also sensed it, and his voice immediately resounded in Zhou Chu's mind.

Sure enough, the Calamity Source Seed had indeed been obtained by Qin Ye.

"Master, this Soul Professional has already completed a soul sacrifice with the Calamity Source Seed."

"The Calamity Source Seed has taken root and sprouted within this body; they have already become one!"

Gadi's voice warned in Zhou Chu's mind once again.

"Is there no way to reverse it?" Zhou Chu frowned and couldn't help but ask.

Gadi paused before saying, "No. The Calamity Source Seed loves the origin of desire most. The stronger the host's desire, the more Calamity Power it can convert."

"The only way to get rid of the Calamity Source Seed now is to kill him, and the host will die along with it!"

Hearing Gadi's words, Zhou Chu's heart sank.

The Calamity Source Seed was born in the Abyss and was known as the Seed of Evil.

Wherever it grew, it would bring disaster and destruction.

It was not only the power source for the Calamity Forces but also the gathering point for the Calamity Forces.

Possessing the power of the Calamity Source Seed was like obtaining a terrifying power strong enough to destroy everything beautiful in this world.

Presumably, Qin Ye, having combined with the Calamity Source Seed, had seen his strength greatly improved at this moment.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have sent almost all the candidates out of the Secret Realm in just two or three minutes.

Qin Ye, who had originally bound an S-rank Soul Profession, reached a level of strength unknown now that he had the blessing of the Calamity Source Seed.

Perhaps...

There was still a gap compared to his own three god-level servants.

No matter to what level Qin Ye had improved, a god-level was still the boss in front of an SSS-level.

At this time, that intense Calamity Aura surged toward Zhou Chu even more violently, as if to swallow everything whole.

In the darkness, a black figure appeared within the Calamity Mist.

Streams of scorching black flames continuously erupted from his palms; the moment the vegetation in the forest touched these black flames, it immediately withered and turned into pitch-black charcoal.

Qin Ye was approaching slowly with unhurried steps.

Wherever he passed, he left behind a trail of blackness and death.

More than a dozen contracted servants roared and charged forward; Qin Ye waved his staff again, and the Calamity Fire instantly swallowed them, and before long, they were all wailing as they turned into black charcoal.

"Zhou Chu, you must die today!"

Qin Ye pointed his staff at Zhou Chu and said in a cold and sinister tone.

"Oh? Who gave you the courage?" Zhou Chu couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth as he said, "Is it just because you signed a contract with the Calamity Source Seed?"

Qin Ye immediately let out a sinister laugh and said, "So what? The me of today is no longer what I was!"

"I know you are strong! But I am no longer that weak S-Grade Blazing Flame Mage from before."

"Now I have awakened as an SSS-level Calamity Mage."

"I am already the one and only SSS-level in this world; I am the true master!"

"Submit to me, otherwise my Calamity Fire will burn you into charcoal!"

Having said that, black flames began to burn violently on Qin Ye's palm once again.

Zhou Chu couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment.

He truly had not expected that after the Calamity Source Seed took up residence in his body, it would actually cause his Soul Profession to awaken.

And it even jumped up two levels, advancing from the previous S-Grade to SSS-level.

If not for Zhou Chu, Qin Ye would indeed be the existence with the highest Soul Profession rank and the greatest strength in this world right now.

Although SSS-level can already be considered the peak, there is still the God-level that transcends the peak.

Of course, this is only within Qin Ye's understanding, where SSS-level is already considered a god in this world.

But what he does not know is that the God-level truly exists, and although there is only a one-rank difference from SSS-level, the actual gap is a hundred and eight thousand miles.

Qin Ye had originally thought that Zhou Chu would feel afraid upon hearing that he had awakened to become an SSS-level.

But on the contrary, at this moment, Zhou Chu not only lacked the slightest bit of fear, but his eyes were instead full of mockery.

"Qin Ye, oh Qin Ye, you are just like your master Luo Dachun, both of you are nothing but slaves kidnapped by desire!"

"Self-righteous, thinking you have obtained some incredible power, and thus wanting to do whatever you please!"

"Today I will let you witness what a true master is!"

As soon as his voice fell, a phantom flashed beside Zhou Chu; Gadi was summoned by him from the Hero Tomb, and at the same time, he vanished into the void in an instant.
