Chapter 190: Black’s Terrifying Talent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During the past few days, Lin Yuan had been climbing the Star Tower. He had already fought from the 80th floor to the 100th floor, and if he went any further, he would take part in the promotion duel.

When climbing from the 80th floor to the 100th floor, all of Lin Yuan’s opponents possessed Gold feys. After the 90th floor, Lin Yuan had encountered plenty of spirit qi professionals that possessed two Gold feys. However, the grade of the Gold feys wasn’t considered high.

Nonetheless, when Lin Yuan used the Gold/Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee, these duels weren’t that difficult to win. In fact, even though Chimey had become a Fantasy Breed and obtained the new exclusive skill Radiant Body, Lin Yuan hadn’t used it until now.

During the climb from the 80th floor to the 100th floor, the strongest Gold fey Lin Yuan had encountered was only a Gold VII/Flawless fey. The Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s grade might be Gold I, but its quality was Legend.

The Gold I/Legend Acid Corrosion Queen Bee’s actual strength was actually superior to Gold VII/Flawless feys. Furthermore, the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee was an assassin that hid in the sea of flowers, allowing it to land sneak attacks.

Lin Yuan had also encountered a spirit qi professional that had been live-streaming when fighting in the Star Tower. The live streamer had been none other than the spirit qi professional that possessed the Gold VII/Flawless fey. Therefore, it was also the first time Lin Yuan’s Acid Corrosion Queen Bee appeared in the Star Web netizens’ eyes.

This had also solved the mystery as to how Lin Yuan had instantly killed that feminine man’s two feys. The case of the two blood flowers that had blossomed in the sea of flowers had finally been cracked.

On the Star Web, Lin Yuan’s popularity was simply through the roof. At the same time, some questions were brought up in the Star Web.

Isn’t Black a healing-type spirit qi professional?

Why haven’t we seen Black using a healing-type fey?

When in combat, he actually became a combat-class spirit qi professional?

Had it not been for Red Thorn’s appearance that had immediately proved Black’s identity, even if Black’s fans and fan leader Liu Lang insisted, not many would believe that Lin Yuan was Black.

That was because Lin Yuan had never used any healing-type fey. He had been using combat-class feys to climb the tower, so everyone found the same problem—Lin Yuan’s talent.

A spirit qi professional’s talent was always viewed with different levels.

Most of the spirit qi professionals would be compatible with one species and one type of fey, like defense-type/beetle-species feys. Of course, there was also a difference in strength. For example, if a spirit qi professional was compatible with power offense-type/tiger-species feys, while the other was compatible with power offense-type/goat-species feys. The strength difference would be easier to differentiate.

Tiger-species feys did have stronger combat strength than goat-species feys when at the same grade. The law of nature determined such superiority. In the natural world, tigers would definitely eat goats.

Of course, such superiority would only exist when the grade was equivalent. However, not all tiger-species feys were able to defeat goat-species feys of the same grade. There were also some rare feys among the goat-species feys,

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope that Lin Yuan had nurtured was such an example. It was able to fly with the use of wind elements, making it extremely fast. Therefore, regular tiger-species feys might not be able to defeat the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope.

However, ordinary folks with a poor family background who were compatible with power offense-type/tiger-species feys might wish that they were compatible with power offense-type/goat-species feys. Tiger-species feys weren’t as common, and if one wasn’t from a prestigious family, they wouldn’t be able to afford a tiger-species fey. In addition, when evolving tiger-species feys, more precious spiritual ingredients were required.

For people like Chu Ci, who was compatible with all defense-type feys, her talent was considered top-notch in the entire Radiance Federation. As a defense-type spirit qi professional, Chu Ci wouldn’t be restricted by her talent when choosing defense-type feys and could choose them freely according to her desired combination. This way, it would allow her contracted feys to form a flawless combat style that was suitable for her.

When combat-class spirit qi professionals dueled, the fey’s individual strength was one factor. When fighting against a lower-ranked opponent, one could use the difference in grade to suppress the opponent and win. But when fighting against an evenly matched opponent, the combination and coordination of the feys would be the crucial factor.

Black had far too many combinations when using feys in combat, and there wasn’t a regular rhythm. Thus, the people on Star Web had started guessing Black’s talent.

No matter how they discussed it, they couldn’t find a definite answer. They were plenty of low-ranked Scholars and Fey Observers that conducted an analysis of feys Black had used in duels. They then published their own articles based on their opinions.

Unexpectedly, when they published their articles, Star Web’s netizens flamed those Scholars and Fey Observers. Based on Black’s summoned feys, apart from defense-type feys, he had already used almost every other type of feys.

In fact, people were speculating about Lin Yuan like this largely because of Chimey. Back when Lin Yuan had contracted Chimey, it had been a Sound Bird that couldn’t even be considered a fey and naturally didn’t have any types.

Chimey was like the Usneas, which were also a kind of production-type fey without any combat-class types. But when Lin Yuan had evolved Chimey, its combat-class capability had awakened.

The matter about Black’s talent was in constant debate, and ultimately, a Class 4 Scholar published an article based on Black’s talent.

A Class 4 Scholar was already considered the pinnacle of the Radiance Federation’s knowledge world. Thus, when this Class 4 Scholar published this article about Lin Yuan’s talent, this guessing game came to an end.

The Class 4 Scholar’s article might have calmed down the commotion, but it made everyone feel more terrified of Black’s talent, or it should be his wealth.

That Class 4 Scholar gave a final verdict by using the appearance of different feys during the Star Tower’s duels. The quality of Black’s feys should be extremely high, and source-type lifeforms were also in his arsenal. The Class 4 Scholar also stated that Black would still be the Radiance Federation’s top prodigy, even if the source-type lifeforms were out of the picture.

Finally, the Class 4 Scholar teased a little in his conclusion, guessing that Black’s feys were all source-type lifeforms.

Of course, everyone treated that part as a joke. Putting aside the rarity of source-type lifeforms, the harsh requirements to form the contract would already cause plenty of people to get stuck.

However, the fact that Black possessed source-type lifeforms was basically the Class 4 Scholar’s inarguable verdict.

Now that Lin Yuan was at the Star Tower’s 100th floor, he would need to fight in the promotion duel if he continued fighting the duels. He was already rather tired now, so he wasn’t in a hurry to fight in the promotion duel. Instead, he opened up his personal information card.

Name: Black

Gender: Male

Height: 178cm

Weight: 61kg

Star Tower Floor: 100th Floor

Spirit Qi Occupation: Healing-Type Professional

Occupation Rank: C-Rank

Contracted Feys:

Morbius (Bronze X/Legend)

Thousand Questions Beast (Bronze I/Legend)

Twilight Starbird (Silver I/Fantasy I)

Red Thorn (Bronze V/Epic)

Acid Corrosion Queen Bee (Gold I/Legend)

Duel Record: Duels: 100, Wins: 100, Losses: 0, Highest Floor: 100

When looking at the 100% win rate and recalling how he had climbed up the 100 floors, one floor at a time, Lin Yuan felt deeply that he had obtained something called growth.

From the first duel until now, Lin Yuan and his contracted feys had much better teamwork than in the beginning. At the same time, he had a clearer understanding of his fey’s abilities.

Lin Yuan had transformed from a combat newbie into a combat veteran who had his own attitude and perspective. His timing and opportunity to use the abilities would become more proficient with constant duels. But even now, Lin Yuan understood that he still had more room to grow.

Lin Yuan knew that from the start of the promotion duel in the Celestial Stairway, he would encounter significantly stronger opponents than the opponents he had met previously.

When climbing the Star Tower, every 10 floors would be considered a small segment, and every 20 floors would be considered a major segment. But when climbing the Celestial Stairway, the opponents might have just declined from the top. An unlucky Celestial Stairway 5-star expert might even fall down to the promotion duel and had to restart all over again.

Therefore, Lin Yuan understood that the next few duels weren’t going to be easy. His consecutive victories might also be stopped.

Lin Yuan wasn’t really worried about his consecutive victories, as he had never imagined he would be able to win 100 duels consecutively and reach the Celestial Stairway.

Lin Yuan felt that when fighting in the Star Web, one should constantly be amending their combat style and temper their combat skill. Therefore, an evenly matched duel was much more precious than a one-sided duel.

As of now, Lin Yuan had yet to feel that he had fought a duel that was considered evenly matched. He was in need of such a duel in order to squeeze out his and his contracted partners’ potential in battle.

Only by failing would Lin Yuan be able to understand what he was lacking.

In fact, after the 100 duels, Lin Yuan had already noticed a weakness he had when commanding the feys in combat.

When fighting in the Star Tower, there were two methods to achieve victory. The first was to kill the spirit qi professional, and the second was to kill all of the opponent’s feys.

Only by achieving either one of the conditions would the duel end.

Lin Yuan had also encountered danger before, and if Red Thorn hadn’t helped him, he would have been killed by the opponent’s sneak attack and lost that duel.

Of course, even though Red Thorn had suffered grave injuries to block the attack, the impact had still smashed Lin Yuan’s left shoulder bone. Only after such an injury appeared did Lin Yuan understand the importance of survivability for a combat-class spirit qi professional.

This allowed Lin Yuan to have an accurate objective and direction as to his next contracted fey. Lin Yuan wanted to form a contract with a fey that could protect him. Unfortunately, Lin Yuan wasn’t compatible with defense-type feys.

As such, Lin Yuan could only choose to imitate Xin Ying, whose contracted fey had awakened the exclusive skill, Transformation Possession. Otherwise, he would need to contract a source-type lifeform that could protect him.
