Manipulation School Polluter

"Who goes there?!"

The sudden sound alerted the group, Xuanyuan Wuji drew his Gunlance, aiming it in the direction from which the sound came.

From the darkness, a tall figure wearing a hooded cloak slowly emerged.

"Who am I? I don't even know if I'm still human..."

"The Polluter?!" The expressions on their faces changed slightly.

In the Savage Wilderness, one of the most polluted worlds, it's not uncommon to find polluted Polluter. Without exception, those corrupted in the Savage Wilderness undergo severe physical mutations. If they can't withstand the mutations and die, that's one thing; but if they do survive, they often transform into terrifying monsters.

Although this person was concealed within a cloak, judging from their build, they were still largely human... Was the contamination recent, or was it just a bluff?

"Polluter, that's just a stigma you lot have forcibly branded on us!" The Cloaked Man sneered. "In my view, this is glorious evolution, a path for humanity to adapt to the environment and evolve to a higher level!"

As he spoke, he opened his arms, but what emerged from his cloak were not human hands, but curved, sharp claws!

As expected of Polluter!

Having just regained his human form, Mister Qin's body began to slowly swell again. He shielded his daughter behind him and said coldly, "Could it be that this Ants Attack City is also related to you?"

"It's not just about attacking the city," the Polluter sneered. "Do you think it's just a coincidence that the ants chose this place to build their nest?"

"You damned villain!" Xuanyuan Wuji cursed, "How dare you place such dangerous things on the outskirts of Lingyun City! Do you know how much damage these ants have caused?"

"Destruction?" The Polluter scoffed disdainfully. "No matter how much they wreak havoc, they are still native species of the Savage Wilderness, subject to natural selection! What are you humans? You build a city in the Savage Wilderness for nothing, hunt the creatures here, and plunder the resources! The destruction you cause is greater than that of ants; you are the real cancer!"

"There's no point in reasoning with the Polluter." Mister Qin, whose body was now covered in new white hair, said, "If we capture him and bring him back to Lingyun City, we'll definitely find out how to control the ant infestation!"

"I'll go first!" Lu Kui patted his stomach. "Catch him, then go back to Ling Yi and exchange him for something good to eat!"

As he spoke, he moved his feet, and a cloud of dust suddenly rose from the ground behind him. He charged toward the Polluter at a speed that was completely disproportionate to his enormous body!

"Don't try to steal my thunder, you fatso!" Almost simultaneously, Xuanyuan Wuji Gunlance at the Polluter. With a loud "bang," the bullet, imbued with vital energy, whistled out, instantly overtaking the charging Lu Kui and heading straight for the Polluter's face.

Meanwhile, Mister Qin on the other side was not idle either. He had transformed back into the form of White Hair Giant Beast, opened his mouth and let out a roar. The sound waves disturbed the air, forming visible ripples that enveloped the Polluter.

Faced with the combined attack of three masters, the Polluter merely sneered. With a flick of his claw, Xuanyuan Wuji's bullet stopped a meter in front of him, slowly swirling in mid-air!

"What?!"

Xuanyuan Wuji Wuji's pupils dilated in shock. This spear strike was imbued with vital energy and had activated a magical artifact skill, possessing the same power as the spear he had just used to kill the Cannon Ant. Yet, it had been blocked mid-air by the opponent?

At this moment, Lu Kui had already rushed forward, the qi attached to his Wolf Tooth Club dazzling under the Vital Energy Vision, and it looked like it was about to smash into the head of the Polluter.

Unexpectedly, the Polluter flicked his finger, and Xuanyuan Wuji's bullet suddenly turned around and shot towards Lu Kui!

Puff!

Lu Kui's internal energy couldn't withstand the power of the bullet; it pierced through his shoulder, sending him flying backward.

At this moment, Mister Qin, who had transformed into White Hair Giant Beast, rushed over and smashed his sharp claws down towards the top of the Polluter's head!

The Polluter raised its other claw and flicked it upwards, causing the ground to split open and a huge rock to fly up and hit the White Hair Giant Beast on the chin!

With a loud thud, the White Hair Giant Beast was sent flying backward, tumbling in mid-air before barely managing to land steadily, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of its mouth.

"You damned Polluter, how dare you hit my old man! I'll chop you up!" Xiao Qi angrily bared her teeth and claws, but was held tightly by Mister Qin's two small hands on the back of his neck.

A master of Manipulation School!

The three of them, without prior agreement, reached the same conclusion about the Polluter.

The so-called Manipulation School is a school of thought that is good at using energy to manipulate objects. The way this guy stopped the bullets and manipulated the boulder just now is a typical Manipulation School technique. And judging from the effort he put in, he was definitely a top-notch expert before he was corrupted!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, that hurts..." Lu Kui cried out, clutching the wound on his shoulder. "What a powerful bullet!"

"Of course!" Xuanyuan Wuji proudly raised his chin. "My bullets are not only imbued with vital energy, but also have multiple effects such as armor penetration and armor piercing. Let alone you, I can even penetrate a tank!"

"How dare you say that!" Lu Kui said indignantly. Mister Qin, who was nearby, shouted, "Don't fight amongst yourselves! This guy is extremely strong; we must work together to deal with him!"

"The Manipulation School, while possessing numerous attack methods, generally lack any special effects, and their own Combat Power is not particularly impressive..." Xuanyuan Wuji sneered, "As long as you're careful of his manipulated objects, you can take him down in close combat!"

The three exchanged a glance and set off together!

Lu Kui used his Qi to seal his wounds and unleashed his inner energy to attack again; Mister Qin's form changed once more, his hair becoming even bushier, and a bulge even appeared on his back, firmly protecting his daughter; as for Xuanyuan Wuji, he learned his lesson and stopped firing. Instead, he twisted the grip of his Gunlance, and a bayonet more than a foot long popped out from the muzzle. He then brandished the Gunlance like a spear and charged forward.

In the eyes of most Cultivators, the Manipulation School is a useless one.

While it can manipulate objects, which seems convenient, and launch Hidden Weapon for ranged attacks, its power is inferior to that of the Elemental School; it can control weapons for melee combat, but its toughness is not as great as that of the Martial Combat Faction; it can assist teammates, but its effectiveness is not as great as that of the Spell Faction.

It can be said that the Manipulation School is one that has a little bit of everything, but doesn't excel at anything.

Therefore, even if someone has the right talent, few people will specialize in Manipulation School; instead, they will often learn and combine abilities from other schools of thought.

But this Polluter's mastery of Manipulation School is so profound that it means his other abilities must be weak. No matter how strong a guy who specializes in Manipulation School is, he can't cause any trouble!

Sure enough, once they understood the opponent's tactics, the three experts found it much easier to deal with him. The Polluter kept manipulating boulders, trees, ant corpses, and other objects to attack the three, but they were either dodged or defeated. All his methods were neutralized, and in just a few rounds, the three had closed to within ten meters of him!

Once the Manipulation School get close, their lifeline is basically in their hands!

However, faced with such a desperate situation, the Polluter did not panic. A cold laugh came from under his hood, and he raised his claws and swung them at the three people who were constantly approaching!

Instantly, an invisible force field spread out, covering an area of tens of meters in radius!

The three who were sprinting at high speed suddenly felt a great force pressing down on them, as if their bodies had become a hundred times heavier in an instant. Their previous ease was gone, replaced by the feeling of being crushed by Mount Tai and struggling to move forward!

This is... The three looked around in surprise and found that not only themselves, but the surrounding land had sunk half a foot due to this force field, the corpses of ants were deeply embedded in the ground, and even the tall, simple anthill was cracking and collapsing under the heavy pressure!

Is this some kind of manipulation of gravity?!

The three looked at the Polluter in disbelief.

Thank you to the book-loving caterpillar for the 100 Origin Point Coin!
