Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

About an hour later, the second round of bladder contention between Akad and Vincent ended, followed immediately by the third round. Seeing Vincent so angry that he was hopping mad, Wen Yu also smiled and shook his head.

Some people just don’t care about the fame and fortune of the sequence, and Akad belongs to this type. Of course, a bigger possibility is that Akad knows himself well, knowing that it’s hard to get the rewards of being in the top ten sequences, so he decisively chooses to let off steam.

Either way, it’s still within the rules. After three consecutive challenges, Vincent was left deflated, while Akad finally felt relieved, squatting in the box waiting for others’ battles.

It seems Akad’s Sequence Number 56 should not change anymore.

So, everything finally returned to normal.

...

After Akad and Vincent’s bladder contention ended, the experts affiliated with the military also began to move. Mu Bai, Vila, and Wang Yuwei, who were in the lower circle of the sequence, jointly made an effort and quickly reached the sequence teens. As of now, apart from Wen Yu, Tang Haofei, Walter, and Carmille, everyone in the top twenty sequences are all from Yanjing.

When the power has developed to its extreme, the benefits are frightening. With billions of professionists, they can flip through the entire Earth dozens of times a day. Almost all treasure lands appearing on Earth, Yanjing has the capacity to develop and explore, which is the advantage of the power compared to individual—Wen Yu cannot have so much energy to explore treasure lands, nor enough manpower, and the items Wen Yu needs do not appear often enough in treasure lands, but Yanjing is different. A single Esoteric Level skill scroll is enough to create a super expert, and with various technologies at hand, mass-producing experts is rather easy for Yanjing, but producing a super expert is very difficult. Like Lin Haifeng, as a leader, he can’t possibly take all benefits for himself, right? So Lin Haifeng and his followers will easily hit a strength barrier.

Yanjing and Wen Yu, Tang Haofei and the likes are basically on two different paths, and there is no comparison between the two. In fact, Wen Yu often ponders another question, if he were not a reborner, if he weren’t being manipulated by players behind the scene, would his development speed now be much slower than the powerful experts affiliated with Yanjing...

The answer should be obvious—intelligence, manpower, proper skill system design, the various skill items in Yanjing’s treasure house, and strong technological support behind the scenes, these things can greatly enhance professionists, just like now, Lin Haifeng only shows part of Yanjing’s strength, and that’s enough to dominate almost the entire Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, and regular Independents can never reach this height.

Just as Wen Yu was contemplating these issues, another familiar face appeared on the stage.

Golden Armor’s voice sounded in their ears.

”Sequence Nineteen has applied to challenge Sequence Eight, starting now.”

As the teleportation light flashed, a slender woman wearing leather and holding a black longsword, along with Wen Yu’s old acquaintance, Carmille, both appeared on the stage.

”Yanjing, Vila.”

”Carmille.”

After the simple name announcement, a burst of whistling suddenly erupted from the box above—the truth is, these two women are the only females in the entire sequence.

Vila cast a charming glance at the box where the Yanjing experts were, looking relaxed and carefree.

According to pre-battle intelligence, Sequence Number 8, Carmille, is definitely among the most lackluster of the top ten sequences—even if her skill system is somewhat eccentric, Vila still did not take Carmille seriously. However, Carmille seemed a bit nervous, automatically filtering out the whistles from the box, and quickly extracting a scroll from her space ring.

”Be careful.”

Carmille was genial, giving a simple reminder to Vila, who appeared unguarded, then quickly tore the scroll open.

Accompanied by wild roars, a blue light emerged from the place where the scroll shattered. Then, a giant ape, only two meters tall, wielding an object neither quite metal nor wood, leaped out from the blue light and charged towards Vila.

”This woman’s skill system is interesting, isn’t it? Is she sealing creatures in the scroll, or creating a clone body?”

”It’s merely creating a clone body, with 80% of the original power, but the initial preparation takes a long time, and the greater the strength gap, the longer Carmille needs to depict.”

Faced with Tang Haofei’s question, Wen Yu, who was familiar with Carmille, provided an answer, while also commenting on the battle between these two women.

”That Vila is indeed impressive, overall not inferior to the top tier of Yanjing’s experts, but Carmille, these years have really seen her fall far behind...”

”Don’t say that; what if she has some trump card?”

”I know her trump card, it’s nothing more than an Amalgamated Willpower Entity of a forest. I’ve observed that forest’s willpower entity before, and its power is still insufficient.”

In the past few years, as Wen Yu probed thoroughly into the existing experts on Earth, it naturally included Spirit, the Amalgamated Willpower Entity of the forest. After observing from afar several times, Wen Yu roughly estimated Spirit’s power— Willpower entities’ power indeed dominates conventional life forms, but this is not absolute; Spirit’s flaws are too glaring.

Its body is inconvenient to move, the tribes expand slowly, perhaps six or seven years ago, Spirit’s power could be considered top-notch at the time, but now, it’s been outpaced too much by Luo Luo, who is also an Amalgamated Willpower Entity, not to mention being somewhat inferior to Yanjing’s top-tier experts.

The battle on stage went just as Wen Yu predicted—Carmille’s summoned giant ape was reduced to a puddle of ink by Vila’s three punches and kicks, whereupon, Carmille summoned a light blue unicorn, who would have thought that Vila merely swung her sword simply, and the black flame trailing the Sword Light instantly incinerated the unicorn, turning it into a pile of ash.

In the end, Carmille reluctantly took out another scroll. As the scroll was unfurled, countless trees began to grow and sway, turning the entire stage into a forest in just an instant.

The towering trees blocked the view from outside, but the continuous ”boom” sounds from within confirmed the fight was ongoing, until the earth shattered, black flames erupted from the cracks, instantly turning the forest into scorched earth. Only then did Carmille, pale-faced, shout ”I surrender,” while Vila remained with an air of tranquility.

This battle was far from probing the true strength limit of Yanjing’s top-tier experts.

Neither woman’s battle had just ended when Golden Armor’s voice rang out once more.

”Sequence Number Four has applied to challenge Sequence Number Three. The battle begins now!”
