Chapter 115: A Massacre, Killing a Class-7 Direbeast Again
“Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees[1]!”
The ordinary-looking wood grew rapidly as Gene Arcana rushed into it.
It extended from one meter to ten, and from ten to a hundred...
Vines started to grow out of the ground, and climbed in all directions.
In just a few breaths, this scarlet wood the size of the palm of a hand had turned into a scarlet forest covering a radius of hundreds of meters.
The winding vines now looked like blood dragons and the rhizomes made one think of blood pythons.
Countless Direbeasts were shrouded in the scarlet forest. They were now in trouble. Scarlet vines shot out. What followed next was a series of pitter-patter sound. The vines pierced and killed all Direbeasts at once.
All the Direbeasts in the area were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
“So awesome!”
“Is this a Wood-type Arcana?”
“L—Ling Jiu has Wood-type arcana?”
It stunned the trainees, including Zhou Ji, Christopher and Hirano Hatake, to see Ling Jiu’s performance.
Ling Jiu had previously shown his ability to control metal, which had shocked them beyond words. And now he was showing yet another ability: the Wood-type Arcana. Was he a monster?
“The Wood-type Arcana is also pretty potent!”
After slaughtering the Direbeasts in this area, Ling Jiu teleported the scarlet forest to another area and continued his killing spree.
“Now I understand! Wood Release is powerful, but what’s really powerful is a Jinchūriki[2]’s body in perfect Sennin [3]mode with a large amount of Chakra[4]!” Ling Jiu murmured to himself.
Creating a vine forest had cost him a massive amount of Gene Arcana. This meant that he, who possessed the Ten thousandfold Gene Arcana, could do so as he wished. If it were other arcanists, their Gene Arcana would be exhausted a long time ago.
So, the same arcana in different arcanists would produce a different level of strength.
For example, Yamato[5] could only use Wood Release to build houses and do reforestation. But it became an almighty set of skills in the hands of Senju Hashirama[6].
“One more time: Water Release[7]!”
Ling Jiu retrieved the scarlet wood, took out a blue water ball, and then injected his Gene Arcana into it.
The water ball expanded rapidly from a pomelo size into a giant water ball of tens of cubic meters.
“Water Release: Thundering Water Spikes[8]!”
As Ling Jiu roared quietly, water spikes extended out from the water ball and danced around Ling Jiu.
“Go!”
Ling Jiu pointed a finger in the air.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH...
Hundreds of blue spikes pierced through the air as they formed a barrage of arrows.
THWAP! THWAP! THWAP...
In terms of penetrating power alone, water spikes were definitely not as good as metal and wooden spears. But this type of water was terribly corrosive and even worse than aqua regia.
Whether it was the Class-5 or the Class-6 Direbeasts, the blue spikes pierced through and killed them all equally effortlessly.
“This time it is a Water Manipulation!”
“How many arcana does this guy have?”
“He has shown Earth, Gravity, Tungsten Form, Metal, Wood, Water Manipulations, and a phantom-like arcana!”
“In other words, he has seven arcana? Are you kidding me? How can a person have so many arcana? Could it be...”
“A brand new arcana has surfaced worldwide this year. If I’m not mistaken, Ling Jiu’s ability should also belong to this new arcana!”
“You mean Arcana Replication?”
“That is right.”
“I can’t believe that he has Arcana Replication!”
Listening to the trainees’ discussions, the faces of Zhou Ji, Christopher Adam, and Hirano Hatake looked grave. They had never expected that Ling Jiu had this arcana.
This was so unfair!
What disgusted them was that who knows, one day, Ling Jiu would replicate their arcana that they had been proud of all this while.
And then Ling Jiu would use their arcana to kill Direbeasts and dominate the rankings.
“Bugger!”
Christopher clenched his fists. “Replicate my arcana? No way! Not a chance! He is already perfect now. If he replicates my arcana, wouldn’t he become even more perfect, stronger, and more terrifying?”
Hirano Hatake’s face was grim as if he had swallowed a dead fly. He vowed he would not let Ling Jiu replicate his arcana.
“Ling Jiu has Arcana Replication?”
Yang Ling-er and Ai Yuhe glanced at each other and saw a sense of shock in each other’s eyes. “I used to wonder why he had so many arcana, but now I finally know why. He is really OP!”
Ai Yuhe looked at Yang Ling-er. “Besides, if I’m not mistaken, he must have secretly replicated your Five-Element Manipulation!”
“I am more than happy if he has done that!”
Yang Ling-er broke out in a bright smile.
“You are beyond fixing, Ling-er!”
Ai Yuhe rolled her eyes. “Since you found your brother, you have completely lost yourself!”
“I am happy now, Sister Ai!”
...
Ling Jiu moved from one place to the next, slaughtering the Direbeasts relentlessly.
When others needed rest to continue fighting, Ling Jiu never needed one.
His madness finally attracted the Class-7 Direbeasts’ attention.
If Ling Jiu was allowed to kill at such a speed, he would wipe out all the Direbeasts soon, and the beast tide would fall apart.
This must not be allowed to happen.
Five Class-7 Direbeasts faded into five beams of light as they charged at Ling Jiu.
“Stop it, you beasts!”
Four trainers burst out of the training camp at once to meet four of the Class-7 Direbeasts. Only one was free to attack Ling Jiu.
“Ling Jiu!”
Yang Ling-er’s pretty face changed.
“Fret not. I will help him!”
Ai Yuhe lunged out in a flash, coming in front of Ling Jiu in just a few spatial jumps. “Let’s join hand to kill this beast, Ling Jiu!”
“OK!”
Ling Jiu nodded.
This was a giant tiger with a body length of over 40 meters and a height of seven or eight stories. It was snow white and had a pair of golden wings on its back. It was the Goldwing Holy Light Tiger.
The Goldwing Holy Light Tiger had inherited all the strengths of Tiger-type Direbeasts—incredible speed, amazing agility and infinite power.
Besides, the Goldwing Holy Light Tiger also had a pair of wings, adding to its already powerful body. In terms of combat strength, it was outstanding among the Class-7 Direbeasts.
“Kill!”
Ling Jiu took out a silver bar and turned it into a longsword to meet the Goldwing Holy Light Tiger.
ROAR!
The Goldwing Holy Light Tiger roared and raised its enormous claws to attack Ling Jiu. It was fast and ruthless, coming above Ling Jiu in the blink of an eye.
Just when its tiger claws were about to strike on Ling Jiu’s body, it suddenly froze in place in the air.
“This is the time!”
Ling Jiu teleported himself in front of the Goldwing Holy Light Tiger and stabbed the long sword in his hand down.
As the long sword penetrated the Goldwing Holy Light Tiger’s eye, Ling Jiu decisively performed a Tungsten Form. His strength spiked 200 times as he hit the sword’s hilt with a punch.
The entire longsword went into the Direbeast’s eye.
ROAR!
