Chapter 78 - Challenge! Gu Worm Upgrades!
Chapter 78: Challenge! Gu Worm Upgrades!
Rank 88!
Fang Yuan could not believe it. Bai Yao could actually get this rank on the Prodigy Roll.
In Jiuzhou, the Gu Demon Sect and Gu Immortal Sect were both affiliated to the Southern Yan Shen Empire.
In the entire Yan Shen Empire, there were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand sects, and there were at least tens of millions of young Gu masters.
It was not easy to come out on top of so many people.
Not to mention being among the top hundred people.
In the entire Prodigy Roll, from top to bottom, the realms were all from high to low.
Only Bai Yao was like his first senior, an existence that could fight against enemies of higher realms.
When he fought with Bai Yao, she was only at the third layer of the Enlightenment Realm.
It seemed that she had made a breakthrough and challenged The Prodigy Roll once when she went back.
Fang Yuan was a little restless.
If even Bai Yao could fight up to the 88th place, what kind of result could he get?
Fang Yuan could not help but feel a desire to fight.
He directly ignored Wen Tailai, who was at last place, and raised his hand to point at a certain spot on the scroll.
“I want to challenge him!”
Vice City Lord Xu could not help but be surprised when he saw it. “Fang my friend, aren’t you going to start with the last place first? After all, this is your first challenge and you still don’t know the strength of the other prodigies.”
Fang Yuan insisted, “I’ll pass, I just need to beat him.”
The City Lord clapped his hands and laughed loudly. “Since that’s the case, I’ll personally register your name in the register. Please.”
“Senior, be careful.”
Li Tongzhou reminded him, “If you cannot win, you must admit defeat early, or you will really die inside.”
“Don’t worry.”
Fang Yuan followed the City Lord into the hall and used the relevant Gu worms to test his age.
The result came out very quickly.
He was 21 years old, meeting the requirements of the challenge.
Under the City Lord’s guidance, Fang Yuan stepped into a dark room.
Next, the City Lord released the Phantom Gu. Fang Yuan did not know how it was operated, but the surrounding black Qi gradually gathered, forming a human figure whose face could not be seen clearly.
“Young friend, if you are ready, let me know.”
“Go ahead.”
Fang Yuan felt an even more pressing pressure from the other party than from Bai Yao. This was definitely a difficult opponent.
The City Lord crushed a medicinal pill and scattered it in this space. After giving a few more instructions, he left.
He reminded Fang Yuan that this shadow could simulate more than 90% of the original owner’s strength.
Whether it was the Gu worm used or the ability, they could all be perfectly replicated.
Of course, it was limited to the things that the original owner displayed when challenging the Prodigy Roll. As for whether there were other trump cards in reality, no one knew.
Maybe there was someone who liked to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger.
The space suddenly emitted a bloody smell.
Fang Yuan knew that this was the pill that the City Lord threw out earlier, activating the fierceness of the Phantom Gu.
Suddenly, the shadow moved.
Fang Yuan also moved.
In an instant, the Phantom Step ability was added to his body, and his speed was pushed to the limit.
But the other party was still faster than him.
In the darkness, an unknown sharp blade the color of blood ruthlessly swept over.
Clang!
Fang Yuan held the worm manipulation rod in his hand at the critical moment and used the nine turns rod technique, along with liquid spirit essence and Bloodthirsty’s power, to block this fatal blow.
However, he did not expect that he was still forced to retreat several steps by this force.
The blood in Fang Yuan’s chest surged, and finally, he could not hold it in any longer and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“How is this possible…”
This was the first time he was still at a disadvantage in terms of power after using all his strength.
With over a hundred times of strength, even if he fought back hastily, and even if the opponent’s realm was a few levels higher than his, there should be something else.
Unless, this person also had the ability to increase his strength!
Fang Yuan quickly made a decision.
He could not fight head-on!
He immediately released the Golden Silkworm Gu and Bloodthirsty Gu in an attempt to disrupt the opponent’s attacking rhythm.
In the end, the shadow also released two Gu worms.
Each of them was taller than a person. One was like a mantis, while the other was like a combination of a spider and a scorpion.
[Shadow Saber Mantis]: Offensive type Gu worm, extremely fast, loves to cut the target in half.
[Ghost-faced Scorpion Spider]: Offensive type Gu worm, possesses extremely potent venom, the victim has no chance of survival.
“Fuck!”
Fang Yuan found it hard to believe. “Rank four Gu worms?”
The giant body was the characteristic of a rank four Gu worm.
The Devourer Mother Gu he encountered in the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm was also a rank four Gu worm.
When a Gu worm reached rank four, it could fight side by side with the Gu master.
Gu masters at this stage did not only use the ability provided by the Gu worm to control the enemy.
The difference in the use of different types of Gu worms would be magnified further, showing in battle.
Even if they were purely supporting type Gu masters, they could still provide crucial help to battle type Gu masters in group battles.
This person in front of him actually had two rank four Gu worms?
He did not have a single rank four Gu worm.
The situation on the battlefield instantly changed from one on one to one on three.
Fang Yuan’s cultivation level was already low, so he was at a huge disadvantage, not to mention that he had less to fight with.
Swoosh!
The Shadow Saber Mantis turned into a black shadow and attacked first.
Fang Yuan did not even think about it and immediately retreated to dodge the attack.
The Bloodthirsty Gu split into thousands of worms and surrounded the human figure, but the effect was not great.
On the other side, the Golden Silkworm Gu was also trying its best to avoid the venom of the Ghost-faced Scorpion Spider. It was obvious that as the king of venomous Gu, it did not dare to touch the venom of higher rank Gu worms.
“No!”
If he fought like this, he would definitely lose.
But to give up just like that?
He was unwilling to give up no matter what.
“This replica does not seem to have intelligence.”
Fang Yuan’s greatest advantage was his attentiveness. This advantage had helped him countless times.
Without intelligence, it meant that the other party would not be flexible.
Before they completely dealt with the obstacles in front of them, they would not come looking for him.
He would not rest until he did something.
Fang Yuan took out the Inheritance Gu he had obtained from the stone gambling earlier and used it in this critical moment of the battle!
Boom!
In an instant, a majestic body of energy rushed into his body!
But there were three opponents on the battlefield. Just the Golden Silkworm Gu and Bloodthirsty Gu were not enough to stop them.
“White Jade Gu!”
Fang Yuan endured the immense pain and shouted.
The worm manipulation rod shook violently, and the White Jade Gu seemed to sense its master’s mood. It immediately abandoned its weapon and jumped to the top of the rod.
The Shadow Saber Mantis’s attack arrived as expected.
Compared to its opponent, the White Jade Gu was as insignificant as an ant.
However, it still raised its limbs to block the attack. It did not have the slightest intention of retreating as it stood horizontally in front of Fang Yuan.
The Shadow Saber Mantis immediately changed its target and attacked with an unusually sharp slash.
The consequence of a mantis trying to stop a chariot was obvious.
The White Jade Gu was sent flying dozens of meters away along with its rod, crashing into a wall in the darkness with a dull thud.
However, the White Jade Gu itself had rank three strength and was a pure defensive Gu worm. Taking this attack from the Shadow Saber Mantis, which was known for its speed, was not a big deal.
It was just that the difference in size was too big, so it was at a disadvantage.
The White Jade Gu slowly walked out of the darkness again, making provocative moves towards the Shadow Saber Mantis.
The Shadow Saber Mantis could not ignore it, and it abandoned Fang Yuan to fight with it.
But with one of them distracted, there were two other threats.
Fang Yuan’s body was filled with countless streams of energy, unable to move at all.
But at this moment, a series of sounds rang out one after another.
[Ding! Your Bloodthirsty Gu saw that the White Jade Gu was not afraid of death and was greatly motivated. It has decided to feed its blood essence to the bloodthirsty worm group (larvae)]
[Your bloodthirsty worm group has evolved! The number has doubled! All abilities have increased by 100%!]
[Ding! Your Golden Silkworm Gu is unwilling to lag behind. It forcefully swallowed the venom of the Ghost-faced Scorpion Spider and fused it with its own body. Quality has successfully increased!]
[Your Golden Silkworm Gu has been upgraded to Silver quality.. Its toxicity and vitality have been greatly increased!]
