Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 496: Chapter 281: The Hair Princess Race and the Artifact Race

As the vast expanse of white hair unfurled, Zhong Yi, who had drawn near, thought the woman looked a bit like a shedding poodle.

Zhong Yi released Hong Ji and Ice Glaze.

He then used All Things Exploration to inspect the white-haired woman who fought using her hair.

[Name]: Xie Liansi

[Race]: Hair Princess Race

[Level]: Second Level

[Bloodline]: Double Bun

[Contract]: Available for Contract

[Contractual Relationship]: Needle-tailed Scorpion

[Rule]: Piercing Rule

[Fate Grid]: Purple

Abilities

[Elemental Hair]: Fuses an element from the surrounding environment into her hair strands, enhancing their durability and imbuing them with the element’s properties.

[Slow Needle]: Whenever her hair strands injure an opponent, they apply a stackable slowing status effect. This slowing status affects not only the target’s body but also their mind, soul, and spirit.

[Hair Net Killing]: When her hair strands pierce a target’s body and make contact with their power source, she can borrow the target’s own power to strangle them.

Hair Princess Race, Double Bun Bloodline.

Zhong Yi had never heard of the Hair Princess Race before.

But through All Things Exploration, Zhong Yi learned that the Hair Princess Race’s Bloodline started at Single Bun and advanced to Double Bun, Piled-up Hairdo, and finally Crown.

If the Bloodline advanced again after reaching the Crown Level, a long hairpin made of Hair Crystal would appear on the bound crown of hair.

The young woman before him, Xie Liansi, was available for a Contract.

Furthermore, she had a Contracted Creature called the Needle-tailed Scorpion.

’This Needle-tailed Scorpion must be one of Xie Liansi’s trump cards.’

Who would have thought that hidden within thousands of meters of waterfall-like white hair was a highly venomous Needle-tailed Scorpion, like a hidden weapon?

A large amount of Earth Element had just poured into Xie Liansi’s hair, a result of her Elemental Hair Ability.

Elemental Hair didn’t just allow Xie Liansi’s hair to absorb the Earth Element.

In any environment, Xie Liansi could use the most concentrated element to strengthen her hair strands.

This made them more durable and imbued them with the properties of the absorbed element.

Hair strands that absorbed the Earth Element took on its thick, sturdy properties.

These hair strands could easily drill into rock and then suddenly burst out from underground at a different point.

In the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, one generally wouldn’t cause a huge commotion when fighting an enemy.

Because if one made too much of a commotion, other participants would see them as a threat and likely join forces to deal with them!

Out of fear of being ganged up on, Zhong Yi himself hadn’t dared to cause a major disturbance in the First Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm, not even at the very end.

The fact that Xie Liansi dared to do so showed that she was extremely confident in her strength.

In Zhong Yi’s opinion, Xie Liansi had every right to be confident!

Her Slow Needle Ability was equivalent to giving her another extremely special Rule in addition to her Piercing Rule.

In battle, Xie Liansi’s hair was bound to injure her opponents.

Opponents of the same Tier, in particular, would already find it difficult to defend against her hair’s attacks.

Once injured by these strands—even if it was just a graze that was treated immediately—the target would still be afflicted with a stackable slowing status.

Once this slowing status marked a target,

their reactions—body, mind, soul, and spirit—would continuously grow more sluggish.

Once the slowing status took effect and restricted an opponent’s mobility,

applying even more stacks of it would become much easier.

Just moments ago, while observing the one-on-two battle from a distance with his Wooden Gaze, Zhong Yi had noticed that Xie Liansi’s two opponents were moving rather slowly.

It turned out that before Zhong Yi even began observing with his Wooden Gaze, the two opponents had already been afflicted with who knows how many stacks of the slowing status.

Zhong Yi believed that Xie Liansi’s purple Fate Grid was not just due to her personal encounters and luck;

it was also inextricably linked to her Hair Net Killing Ability.

Once the pristine white hair burrowed into an enemy’s body, it would move about as if it were a living thing.

Against opponents far stronger than her, Xie Liansi couldn’t kill them with her own power alone.

However, thanks to her Piercing Rule, her hair could still manage to penetrate the body of an opponent of the same Tier.

Once the hair touched the opponent’s power source, these strands could connect to the target’s network of power.

It would then borrow the target’s power, combine it with her own, and use the hair to strangle the target.

This meant that as long as her hair touched the power core of an opponent of the same Tier, they would find it nearly impossible to escape her deadly grasp.

Anyone unaware of her abilities who failed to take precautions,

could very well be defeated, even if they were stronger than her overall.

After examining Xie Liansi’s data, Zhong Yi decided to use a Soul Taming Seed to form a Contract with her.

Based on his experience of contracting Luke with a Soul Taming Seed, he knew that once Xie Liansi formed the Contract,

her Bloodline would leap from Double Bun, bypass Piled-up Hairdo, and advance directly to the Crown Level.

At that point, Xie Liansi’s overall strength would be greatly enhanced compared to its current state.

At this moment, Hong Ji and Ice Glaze had already engaged Xie Liansi in battle.

Although Ice Glaze’s Tier and Quality had not increased, it had been continuously absorbing Energy from the Nine-tailed Celestial Fragrance Fox Tailbone.

Ice Glaze’s Bloodline had improved significantly, and its ability to utilize that Bloodline had grown stronger as well.
