Chapter 146: Soul Fusion Three-Day Talent, Mighty Lion Falls!

Town-zone Spirit Beast cannot be killed…

No wonder the requirement to obtain Advanced Resources is to defeat the corresponding Town-zone Spirit Beast.

Qin Chuan's mind instantly flashed with this thought, but as the Great Rapid Freeze Bird let out a fierce cry and swooped down at the four Spirit Beasts, he quickly suppressed his thoughts.

Now is not the time to think about that.

"Shui Hua!"

"Woof!!!"

Shui Hua's flowing water crown atop its head burst with azure light, and the moment the Starlight Equipment activated, it let out a fierce bark.

The significant attribute control caused the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's blood to momentarily stagnate, and its preparatory attack motion also became somewhat distorted.

Effective!

Qin Chuan and Yue Li felt a surge of joy, and the other three Spirit Beasts each took action at that moment.

Bright firelight entwined with the raging wind, the rising heat wave even visibly showed signs of melting the surrounding snow plains; Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong cooperated seamlessly, and before the Great Rapid Freeze Bird could react, a flame tornado engulfed its massive body.

On the other side, Ice Cream slowly raised the Frost Hilt Slashing Horse.

A faint glow already covered Qin Chuan's body, the blessing of fortune brought by the Second Day's Gift of Prayer Command; this blessing applies not only to him but also to Shui Hua and Ice Cream.

Next, Ice Cream's every strike will trigger a critical hit, gaining an 84% attack boost.

"Ga——"

The Great Rapid Freeze Bird let out a cry entwined with anger, its body instantly emanating an extreme, terrifying subzero temperature; the fire tornado enveloping it was instantly frozen, and that terrifying ice power froze the storm together with the flames.

Flapping its wings to shatter the surrounding ice, it reappeared almost unscathed, first glancing at Ice Cream, which gave it a faint sense of danger.

Kill this one first!

The Great Rapid Freeze Bird's eyes turned cold, and it instantly lunged at Ice Cream, its pair of razor-sharp giant claws flowing with icy blue light, viciously grabbing at Ice Cream.

"Crack——"

Accompanied by a slight ice-cracking sound, Ice Cream instantly shattered into flying snow, its azure snow gauze robe turning into a chilling thin frost, spreading from the point of contact with the claws gradually over the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's body.

【Frost Freeze】, activated!

"Ying!!!"

The reappeared Ice Cream split into two; the clone rushed toward the surge Shui Hua flung, while the main body, at the moment the clone shattered, unleashed a limit-breaking slash.

Total damage bonus, 488%!

The slanting blade gleamed white as snow, cold as frost, like a waning moon hanging in the sky; in an instant it came down heavily on the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's abdomen, emitting a grating sound.

In the next instant, Ice Cream's form shattered again; water, fire, and wind powers came from different angles, and in a flash devoured the Great Rapid Freeze Bird!

Different attribute powers overwhelmed each other, the energy storm they kicked up swept up the surrounding frost and snow, blanketing the entire battlefield in chaos.

"Ga!!!"

Two seconds later, the Frost Freeze effect wore off; the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's voice suddenly turned furious as it violently flapped its wings, kicking up a freezing wind that swept everything away, revealing its massive body once more.

On its chest and abdomen, a wound several meters long rolled over, looking exceptionally gruesome.

Under the excruciating pain, the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's power surged further; a single feather at the center of its crown instantly burst with bright light.

【Rapid Freeze (Starlight 10th Level): Attribute Might increased 30%, Attribute Control increased 45%】

With the activation of the Starlight Equipment, the Great Rapid Freeze Bird flapped its wings and soared tens of meters into the sky.

In the next instant, an icy blue breath like a heavy cannon bombarded downward, leaving ice traces even in the void along its path.

The four Spirit Beasts scrambled to dodge, and after barely waiting for the breath to end, countless ice crystal spears rained down from the heavens like an apocalypse.

Qin Chuan's expression changed; without hesitation he pulled Yue Li and retreated from the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's territory.

The ice crystal spears in midair instantly froze, then vanished; the Great Rapid Freeze Bird's chest wound returned to normal, its gaze sweeping over the two persons and four beasts before it turned and flew back to the Snow Mountain Peak.

Four characters appeared before the two of them.

【Challenge Failed】

——

"Lord Ailikete~ One day not seeing, I miss you dearly."

Today's Songban Guizhi still bore that signature squinty-eyed smile, but his words and deeds were like those of a Western gentleman, completely different from yesterday.

Looking at Songban Zhigu standing before him again, Lord Ailikete's expression was cold.

Behind him, besides yesterday's Senhuā Lu, there were two additional Elite Tier Lv30 Spirit Beasts.

These two Spirit Beasts were the wild Elite Tier that Senhuā Lu defeated under the blessings of the First and Second Day's Gift of Spirit Ascension; he had maxed out their level in his hands, making them temporarily usable power.

Under the blessings of the First and Second Day's Gift of Spirit Ascension, the three Spirit Beasts theoretically could match Songban Zhigu's fused Spirit Beast in battle.

"Songban Zhigu, today I won't give you the chance to teleport away." Uttering each word, Lord Ailikete instantly activated the Second Day's Gift of Spirit Ascension.

The three Spirit Beasts surged forward as their racial values climbed rapidly, rushing at Songban Zhigu.

"Ya lie ya lie~" Songban Zhigu's smile grew a bit more helpless, his narrowed eyes opening a slit as a chilly light flashed, "This is hardly gentlemanly at all."

"Go, children~"

At Songban Zhigu's point, his three Spirit Beasts instantly met Lord Ailikete's Spirit Beasts, engaging in a melee.

Though they lacked racial advantage and initially fell into disadvantage quickly in battle, as they gradually converged the three battle circles into one, the situation suddenly reversed.

Watching the three Spirit Beasts move as if guided by a single consciousness, cooperating flawlessly and handling the stronger opponent with ease, Lord Ailikete's pupils contracted sharply.

And on Songban Zhigu's face grew an ever more radiant smile.

"Lord Ailikete, I see your doubt." He placed one hand before his chest and the other behind his back, performing a standard Western noble salute, "Now, please allow me, Songban Zhigu, to clear up your confusion."

"Soul Fusion First Day's Gift effect: when contracted Spirit Beasts are in joint combat, all gain a racial value boost equal to the number of engaged Spirit Beasts times 5%, and battle synergy greatly increases."

"You..." Lord Ailikete's pupils narrowed slightly as he bellowed, "Scatter!"

"Too slow!" Songban Zhigu snapped his fingers; the three Spirit Beasts instantly turned into the fusion monster that appeared yesterday, instantly killing one Spirit Beast before striking at the other two.

"Soul Fusion Second Day's Gift effect: fuse all contracted Spirit Beasts into a fused Spirit Beast whose racial value equals the sum of the original Spirit Beasts' racial values, lasting 5 minutes, usable once per entry into the Dream World."

Watching the second and third Spirit Beasts fall one after another into the Fused Spirit Beast's hand, Eric's expression quickly turned pale, "Why…"

Pfft~

Before he could finish speaking, the Fused Spirit Beast's sharp bone spur pierced his chest.

Matsuzaka Yoshiki opened their eyes filled with madness, the corners of the mouth curling into a savage arc.

Why?

Because you, who possess the Spirit-Ascending Talent, have always been my prey!

Soul Fusion Third Talent Effect, activate!

【After killing a player, take one effect of the player's talent as your own additional talent effect; only one additional talent effect is retained; usable once every seven entries into the Dream World】
