One Against Two! Slaughtering Two Rare-Tier Powerhouses!

Zhang Tao actually lost?!

Everyone present stared dumbfounded at the massive chasm blasted out by the shockwave, then looked up at Zhang Tao, who was embedded in a tree trunk at the end of the chasm.

Zhang Tao!

A rare level of powerhouse!

He was actually defeated instantly by a single elbow strike from a newcomer who had just joined the team from Earth.

What kind of evolution joke is this?!

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Qingxian, who had consistently won more than he lost against Zhang Tao, was the first to recover from his shock, his face filled with existential doubt as he said:

"Monster!"

"That Lin Zichen is a fucking monster!"

"I don't believe he's from Earthling!"

As the team's number one player, Zhao Qingxian could not accept the fact that Lin Zichen could instantly Zhang Tao with one strike.

Because Zhang Tao was instantly defeated, it meant that someone of similar strength would also be instantly defeated.

He couldn't accept the fact that he could be instantly defeated by a newcomer.

This severely damaged his evolutionary dignity.

We're all top-tier geniuses, and you're only 19 years old. What makes you think you can easily outperform us?

This is not chemistry at all!

While Zhao Qingxian was in a state of mental breakdown.

Luo Qianxue, who is an Exotic Human, also looked completely bewildered.

She has always believed that she is the most talented person in the team, without exception.

As long as I continue to grow step by step, I will eventually become the number one player in the team.

Moreover, he was the number one player who absolutely crushed his opponent.

Because of this, she always harbored an arrogance that looked down on everything in the world.

She thought it didn't matter how bad her interpersonal relationships were.

As long as you become strong in the future, you can have good relationships with anyone.

At least on the surface, that's the case.

No more being subjected to daily gossip.

But Lin Zichen's performance today shattered her pride, leaving her unable to maintain it.

She truly understands the saying, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

But what she couldn't understand was, what made Lin Zichen so strong?

What makes him think he can?!

Could it be... that he's not from Earthling either?

Luo Qianxue suddenly thought of this and felt a slight touch in her heart, a sense of warmth like meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land.

On the other side.

A conference room in the city center.

Qin Chuan was discussing an extremely important piece of news with many of the city's leaders.

It was a message brought back at the cost of two Epic- level powerhouses.

What are your thoughts on the news about ancient Ruins appearing in the Extreme Ice Abyss?

Qin Chuan looked around at the leaders and asked.

Sitting next to her, Shangguan Yuehua thought for a moment and then said, "The Abyss is too dangerous a Life Forbidden Zone. I think we should ignore this news and prioritize stability."

"City Lord Shangguan, I think what you said is not quite right."

A leader with a goatee stroked his graying beard and objected, "This information was obtained at the cost of two generals' lives. If we don't try to get in, wouldn't their sacrifices have been in vain?"

"Furthermore, the Ruins in the Abyss contain evolutionary resources beyond our imagination. Many mythical -Mythical Tier powerhouses were born from the Abyss Ruins. Now that we are at a disadvantage against the Origin Land, we must take this risk in order to create more Mythical Tier powerhouses."

At this point, the leader with the goatee turned to the others present and asked, "Do you all think we should take this risk?"

No one immediately expressed their opinion; instead, they looked at each other to see what others would say.

Soon, Bai Wubian, who was also Deputy City Lord like Shangguan Yuehua, was the first to speak up, "I think Chief Instructor Chen is right. Our situation is not clear right now. So-called stability is just a slow death. If we want to turn the tide, we have to embrace the risks."

Once one person steps forward to express their opinion, a second, third, and fourth person will immediately follow suit.

"I support Chief Instructor Chen and City Lord Bai. Our current situation is too difficult. We must find a breakthrough to change this status quo, otherwise our demise is just a countdown."

"We have far too few Mythical Tier powerhouses on Earth. They are all Ancient Immortal Master whose deaths are a loss. We urgently need new Mythical Tier powerhouses to emerge and give everyone a boost of confidence."

"To be fair, it's true. Although the Ruins in the Abyss are extremely dangerous, even Legendary Tier experts would face a near-death experience if they entered. However, even a near-death experience still offers a chance of survival, while a cautious approach would truly mean no hope of survival at all, merely prolonging one's life for a few more moments."

"..."

Two-thirds of the leaders who expressed their opinions all chose to take the risk.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan, the City Lord, made the decision. "Since most people feel it's necessary to take this risk, let's take it. In the time before the Ruins open, let's all discuss and formulate a concrete plan."

Having been stuck at the Legendary Tier for hundreds of years, he was almost driven mad by his desire to attain the Mythical Tier.

If the previous statement indicated a lack of support, he would try to change the outcome to support.

"City Lord, something terrible has happened!"

Suddenly, a strikingly beautiful female general rushed in.

Qin Chuan, thinking something bad had happened, frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"

The female general exclaimed excitedly, "That newcomer named Lin Zichen in the team of Exotic Human Tier geniuses actually killed Zhang Tao, who had evolved to the Rare Tier, in a single, instantaneous strike!"

What?!

After hearing the female general's words, all the leaders in the conference room were stunned for a moment, thinking they had misheard.

A newcomer who just joined the team of Exotic Human Tier geniuses instantly defeated Zhang Tao, who had evolved to the Rare Tier?

How is that possible?

Is something wrong?

The leaders didn't believe it was true; one or two of them were skeptical.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at the scene!"

Qin Chuan stood up, uttered those words, and then vanished from the conference room in a flash.

Seeing this, the other leaders all followed suit.

A spacious clearing in the woods.

As everyone gradually recovered from their shock, they all turned to look at Lin Zichen, their eyes filled with disbelief as if he were a monster.

Even now, they still feel it's incredibly unreal.

It's hard to believe that such an extraordinary fellow human being as Lin Zichen exists in this world.

In all their years of life, this was the first time they had ever seen Earthling with an evolutionary talent even more exaggerated than that of the Exotic Human.

It's like a dream.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out.

The towering tree at the end of the ravine exploded.

Zhang Tao, who was stuck in the tree trunk, leaped out from the wood chips like the Monkey King being born, and landed with a thud in front of everyone.

Even though he has transformed into a three-meter giant, he has only lost one arm and has not completely lost his fighting ability; he can still put up a fight.

"Can he still stand up...?" Lin Zichen looked at Zhang Tao not far ahead and felt a little surprised.

He had used at least 50% of his strength in that elbow strike, thinking that it would severely injure Zhang Tao, this newly promoted Rare Tier expert, and prevent him from ever getting up again.

But now it seems he overestimated himself somewhat.

Or perhaps, they underestimated the strength of the newly promoted Rare Tier powerhouse.

"I underestimated you just now, let's try again!"

Zhang Tao, his eyes bloodshot, looked at Lin Zichen and shouted.

Then, with a heavy heart, he sacrificed a large amount of his Essence Blood to feed the Exotic Beast genes within his body, causing his enormous body to mutate further.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

A sound like a hard object breaking flesh rang out.

Zhang Tao's body grew even larger, reaching nearly four meters in height, and a row of bone spurs exuding an aura of death sprouted from his back, transforming him into a humanoid monster.

"Such a powerful aura! This is almost at the peak of the Tier 1 of Rare!"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Zhang Tao, instructor Lan Tianbai's face was full of surprise.

He never dreamed that Zhang Tao, who had just evolved into Rare Tier creature, could actually unleash the strength of Rare- Tier 1 Great Perfection cultivator. This evolutionary talent was truly exaggerated.

Zhao Qingxian was equally surprised; his face was filled with an expression of utter disbelief.

He always felt that he was a few points stronger than Zhang Tao.

But in retrospect, he realized he was completely wrong.

He knew very well that, having just evolved into Rare Tier creature, he was unable to unleash the power of a Rare Tier 1 Great Perfection cultivator.

But Zhang Tao, standing before us, is capable of doing just that.

This was a huge blow to him, and he found it hard to accept.

"Buzz--!"

A piercing whistling sound exploded through the air.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Zhang Tao, transformed into a monster, rushed towards Lin Zichen at lightning speed, like a demon god from hell, exuding a terrifying aura of death.

"Lin Zi, watch out!"

Shen Qinghan called out with deep concern.

Seeing Zhang Tao's terrifying and chilling aura, even with all her confidence in Lin Zichen, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Lin Zichen didn't speak, but silently mobilized 80% of his internal energy and gathered it all into his right fist, which was ready to be unleashed.

The next second!

A loud "bang" was heard.

A figure nearly four meters tall was sent flying backward at high speed, crashing into a hill more than ten meters high with a loud bang, sending up a cloud of dust that formed a mushroom cloud.

Everyone who witnessed this scene gaped, their mouths agape, their eyes wide, utterly dumbfounded.

Even a Rare Tier 1 Great Perfection cultivator can be instantly defeated?

No!

Just what kind of monster is Lin Zichen?

How could he possibly do that?!

"Boom--!"

The hill, more than ten meters high, exploded with a deafening roar.

Zhang Tao, transformed into a monster, leaped out again like a tenacious cockroach, landing with a thud in front of everyone.

This time, however, it wasn't just a matter of losing an arm.

Instead, half of his body collapsed, and he was gasping for breath, severely injured.

Although the injury was extremely severe, the cells at the wound site were repairing themselves very quickly, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it wouldn't be long before they were fully recovered.

"Even using eighty percent of your vital energy, you couldn't seriously injure him to the point where he couldn't stand up?"

"This Exotic Human Tier genius Zhang Tao truly possesses exceptional physical talent..."

Lin Zichen thought to himself that he had a very high opinion of Zhang Tao.

Having lived as a human for nineteen years, this was the first time he had encountered an opponent with such a powerful physical body.

"Lin Zichen, I admit defeat. I really can't beat you."

Zhang Tao, panting, reluctantly conceded defeat.

He can afford to fight, and he can afford to lose.

If you're not as skilled as someone else, you're not as skilled; there's no point in arguing about it.

Seeing Zhang Tao admit defeat, the other Exotic Human Tier geniuses around him all looked visibly shaken.

In just one day, the entire team of Exotic Human Tier geniuses underwent a dramatic transformation.

This is so sudden.

No one was prepared for this at all.

Just then...

Lan Tianbai, the instructor, looked at Zhao Qingxian, who was still questioning his life not far away, and shouted to him, "Qian, you and Zhang Tao go together, two against one, to test how strong Zichen is."

"Ah?"

Zhao Qingxian was startled by the sound.

Having always been so strong that I had no friends, I've now fallen so low as to be a testing tool for a newcomer. Is it really necessary to trample on the dignity of the former number one player in the team?

That's what I was thinking.

But soon, Zhao Qingxian had a sudden idea and sacrificed a large amount of his Essence Blood to feed the Exotic Beast genes in his body.

The next moment, his body was covered with golden hair, his dark eyes gleamed with golden light, and the strength of his blood and spirit both rose to a level close to Rare Great Perfection of the Tier 1.

It's only close, not quite there yet.

Compared to Zhang Tao, his strength is still a little lacking.

"Ah-Xian, let's go!"

Seeing that Zhao Qingxian had fully activated the Exotic Beast genes in his body, Zhang Tao immediately shouted at him.

He refused to believe that he and Zhao Qingxian, working together, could lose to Lin Zichen.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingxian did not hesitate for a moment.

He immediately exerted force with his feet and followed Zhang Tao's footsteps, charging fiercely towards Lin Zichen.

Facing the two charging towards him, Lin Zichen rarely smiled, a faint smile playing on his lips, "All along, I've only been showing off my physical strength. It's time to do something different."

The instant he finished speaking, a thought struck him, and he activated the [Higher Spirit] effect to its maximum.

The next second, with another thought, he used [Lord of the Forest] to awaken all the plants within a kilometer radius.

"Boom--!"

Under the influence of the [Lord of the Forest].

Countless towering trees, their trunks blocking out the sky, rose from the ground and surged toward the open space where the group was located at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, a huge Tree Cage formed around the open space, trapping everyone present.

At the same time, countless thick Crimson Vine burst from the ground, instantly soaring into the sky and weaving a large net that sealed the top of the Tree Cage, making it impossible for anyone Tree Cage to escape.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.

The next second, Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao, who were rushing towards Lin Zichen, were instantly wrapped up by dozens of thick Crimson Vine before they could react, and were pulled into the air, unable to move.

Everyone in the Tree Cage was stunned by what they saw.

Lan Tianbai was the first to react, his blood surging as he shouted:

"Enemy attack!!!"

"The Divine Plant Cult has infiltrated the city and launched a sudden attack! Everyone prepare for a desperate battle!!!"

"..."

"How is that possible!"

"This is the most important City No. 1. How could the Divine Plant Cult possibly infiltrate it!"

At that moment, the unsuspecting crowd, upon seeing the Crimson Vine covering the ground, all cried out in terror, believing that the Divine Plant Cult, which had been lurking in the city for a long time, had suddenly launched an attack on them.
