Chapter 71: Don

How is this possible!! x2

Reinhardt and Urian, hiding in the shadows, screamed inwardly, unable to believe what they were seeing.

This fireball wasn’t some “Great Fireball Technique”—a laughable skill that couldn’t even kill a background genin.

It was a magic scroll Urian had exchanged for from the Main God, costing him two B-rank side plotlines, capable of instantly releasing three casts of the high-tier fire spell 【Merciless Sun】.

The spell’s power was terrifying; Urian had once used it to instantly kill a third-rank gene-lock warrior and a Juqing boss.

And just now, to ensure a hit on Wu Xian, he’d additionally used a short-term spatial confinement item, and activated his cosmos and psychic energy for sensory interference…

To be honest, Urian had considered the possibility that Wu Xian might withstand 【Merciless Sun】, but never in such an absurd manner.

Too strong!

This Zhongzhou team’s Lunhuizhe is far stronger than expected.

By the way, what bloodline and skills did he exchange for?

In close combat, he crushes Reinhardt; his psychic energy seems equal to mine; and that control over 【Merciless Sun】—he must be either an elemental mage or a telekinetic, at least B-rank, possibly higher.

And that black battle armor and silver staff—heavy weapons, not ordinary gear; at least B-rank…

Damn it! How many reward points did this cost? Even a breeder doesn’t go this rich!

“What the hell is this?! What is this thing?!”

A familiar curse came from the side; Urian turned his head.

Beneath Reinhardt’s feet, large, incomprehensible blue orbs had suddenly appeared—seemingly runes—now writhing like living things, wrapping around Reinhardt’s body.

The same thing had happened to him: blue runes crawled over his limbs and torso, while an invisible force bound his entire body, leaving no room to dodge or hide.

What skill is this? And… how rich is this guy?!

Letting out a furious growl, Urian unleashed his full cosmos power, trying to break free from the binding.

But the next second, blinding flames surged toward him from ahead.

…

Two flowers bloom, each on its own branch.

While Wu Xian was grinding the two breeders into the ground, another battlefield over ten kilometers away was rapidly escalating into a fever pitch.

Two Lunhui teams clashed fiercely, deploying endless tactics; soon, the battle’s shockwave spread far beyond the confines of a small forest.

As for who held the upper hand now… no need to ask—it was Zhongzhou Team, of course!

But to be fair, no exaggeration.

Though India Team’s opening in this horror film was disastrous, getting crushed repeatedly by the supposedly weakest West Sea Team, their members’ baseline quality was actually quite strong.

As in the original, this team had two members who had unlocked gene locks.

The captain, Shiva Gantian, aside for now, the other one—Aroth, the “Jackal Doctor”—was born into a Western assassin clan, with combat experience far beyond ordinary people; even without any enhancements, he was a formidable warrior.

In the original, he had even temporarily suppressed Zheng Zha, who had unlocked a second-rank gene lock, using only a B-rank werewolf bloodline and a berserk skill.

Though Zheng Zha at that time was the laughingstock of his rank, even the weakest second-rank was still second-rank—Aroth’s combat prowess could not be denied.

As for the remaining India Team members who hadn’t unlocked gene locks, none were ordinary.

For example, Imani, who had enhanced with the Hu Yu Di bloodline, could mobilize eighty percent of his total muscle strength, effectively halfway into second-rank gene lock—high HP, high defense, and devastating attack power, a perfect tank.

A man named Lamb specialized in using psychic energy to control flying needles; with support from a psychic user, he could perform ultra-long-range attacks, functioning as an unconventional sniper.

In the original’s “The Mummy” team battle, Lingdian died at his hands.

Also, two Arabs: one excelled in curved blades with exceptional close combat ability, the other was the hawk-nosed, bearded man in powered armor.

He had exchanged for a semi-mechanical enhancement, equipped with numerous tech weapons—including laser eyes, micro rockets, and more—essentially a cheap knockoff Iron Man.

Thus, combined with Xuenai, the psychic controller, and the veiled woman—who had died to Gaya and was originally meant to protect Xuenai—India Team’s roster was nearly complete, lacking only a competent spellcaster.

Under normal circumstances, unless the Divine or Demon teams intervened, most team battles would see India Team maneuvering with discipline, avoiding total annihilation.

But unfortunately, as always, their luck was terrible: the two Lunhui teams they faced this time were both utterly abnormal.

The breeder team doesn’t need mentioning; Zhongzhou Team, because of Wu Xian’s cheat status, had every veteran unlocked at least a first-rank gene lock, enhanced with B-rank bloodlines, plus a slew of high-tier skills and gear…

This was a level of support even early Demon Team might not have had.

Honestly, if this couldn’t crush an India Team that had lost its psychic user, Wu Xian would just give up on these useless fools and find a chance to switch to Demon or Divine Team instead.

“Ding ding ding ding ding ding——————!!!”

An axe blazing with red flames blurred into afterimages, descending from all directions, yet all were blocked by a gentle golden glow, producing metallic clangs.

The source of that golden light was the Buddha wheel behind Shiva Gantian, India Team’s captain.

As the second-strongest fighter in Zhongzhou Team after Wu Xian, Zheng Zha never held back in battle; he immediately targeted India Team’s strongest member—Shiva Gantian.

With his second-rank gene lock activated, Zheng Zha unleashed his full strength at once, triggering the Crimson Flame skill, aiming to obliterate the enemy’s top fighter in an instant before aiding his teammates to subdue the rest.

Good idea—but execution was far from easy.

Shiva Gantian, though he’d foolishly purchased an A-rank growth item—the two-headed cobra—temporarily preventing him from fully utilizing its power.

But he was still a second-rank gene-lock user with a proper energy circulation system.

Even if he couldn’t match Zheng Zha in direct combat, his Buddha wheel’s defense allowed him to barely hold his ground.

Yet with the golden glow on the Buddha wheel growing dimmer, how long this stalemate could last was uncertain.

Aside from Zheng Zha’s grueling battle against the turtle shell, the other battlefields were steadily favorable.
