Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)

At that time, Mu Yan would still have the opportunity to work with these companions!

Even after losing two battles in succession, Mu Yan did not look disappointed or sad at all.

She looked in Lin Yuan's direction and said earnestly to Liu Wencheng, "For my last challenge, I am going to pick Sequence #91, Miracle Lin Yuan!"

Mu Yan's words caused Liu Wencheng, the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, and the audience watching on Star Web to be stunned.

Soon, the audience started breathing heavier. They were very excited to see Lin Yuan summon feys to battle Mu Yan.

At first, the audience members all thought that they would have to wait for the other eight new members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence to issue their challenges in order to watch Lin Yuan fight.

This was because Lin Yuan was Sequence #91. Even if they defeated Lin Yuan, one would not be guaranteed a spot in the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Furthermore, everyone was well aware of Lin Yuan's powers. He had killed a Freedom Envoy. There was no way any of them stood any chance of winning against him!

Liu Wencheng had already announced that those who earned a spot in the Radiance Hundred Sequence would gain a high-quality Bronze fey that was tailored to their Willpower Rune. No one would be able to resist such temptation.

By doing this, Mu Yan had already given up on this opportunity. She would not be able to remain a part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence this year.

Liu Wencheng nodded. Each member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had three challenges to issue.

Mu Yan could have selected any member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Liu Wencheng did not understand why she wanted to select Lin Yuan.

"Mu Yan, are you sure you want to challenge Sequence #91 Miracle Lin Yuan? If you do, you will remain in the last ten ranks regardless of whether you defeat him. You will become the first member of the current Radiance Hundred Sequence to enter this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence selection!"

Mu Yan nodded seriously before saying resolutely to Liu Wencheng, "I didn't manage to increase my power sufficiently this year and failed to win my first two challenges. I am choosing Lin Yuan because he is my idol.

"Ever since he began battling on Star Web as Black, I have noticed and paid attention to him. I want to use this battle to see how large the gap is between my idol and me. I would like to fulfill my wish of battling my idol!"

If this had been said by a Star Web host, others would think that they were trying to take advantage of Lin Yuan's popularity. But none of them thought this when it came from Mu Yan's lips! She was a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and had the right to say such a thing.

Moreover, she had said what many people were thinking.

Lin Yuan stood up from the moment Mu Yan mentioned his name.

He stepped on the clouds and walked over to the arena. His footsteps were stable and did not try to act suave like Liu Hong had done.

However, the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence could not help but cheer to themselves.

Lin Yuan was surprised at being chosen. He had not expected someone to pick him for such a reason.

He could decide to go easy in the match so he could rally with Mu Yan. Alternatively, he could try and make the battle into a lesson that he used to give pointers to Mu Yan.

But he did not do so. He was going to show Mu Yan his real chops and not give her any opportunity to fight back. Otherwise, every other member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would end up picking him!

When Lin Yuan arrived at the arena, he followed the unspoken rule of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and did not summon his fey first because had the higher rank.

Mu Yan looked up into his eyes. She felt that this gentlemanly Lin Yuan was completely different from the Lin Yuan she had seen a year ago!

A year ago, he still had a youthful air about him. But now, he was composed and had a calm gaze. Although he still had the appearance of a young man, his entire demeanor had matured.

Mu Yan bowed to him before summoning the Ice Vein Frozen Bats for the third time and instructing them to fly toward Lin Yuan.

The charging Ice Vein Frozen Bats did not stop releasing cold aura and already had the abilities Frozen Shadow Collision and Ice Shadow Teeth loaded. As long as Lin Yuan was within the range of attack, the attacks would make contact with him.

Mu Yan immediately launched her strongest combat techniques. The Hot Ice Boiling Mouse created an area of hot ice in a one-meter radius around Mu Yan. Mu Yan was immediately surrounded by burning icy flames.

Lin Yuan gently lifted his hand, and the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom that was on the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box released a large plume of spores.

The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom's spores were very small, and it was impossible to see them with the naked eye.

The spores released by the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom were like its antenna.

The spores were carried by the wind, and the two Ice Vein Frozen Bats that were flying towards Lin Yuan were affected by Seeping Flames, Body-Penetrating Flames, and Thought-Separating Flames. Their bodies immediately started burning with fiery flames.

However, none of these three abilities targeted the target's body but their mind, spirit, and soul.

It was difficult to defend against such flames that targeted the cores that were the heart, brain, mind, spirit, and soul.

Even if they could extinguish the flames, the flames would absorb the energy within the target's heart and brain to reignite the fire.

Due to Thought-Separating Flames, the damage inflicted on the Ice Vein Frozen Bats' mind and soul would be extended and guided to reach Mu Yan.

The screeches of pain from within the icy flames halted quickly.

Lin Yuan gently raised his hand, and the smoke in front of Mu Yan dissipated, revealing the Hot Ice Boiling Mouse that had collapsed in a heap on the ground. Mu Yan had already vanished.

Given that this was a battle on Star Web, Mu Yan's body reappeared on her seat 30 seconds later.

Lin Yuan nodded at Liu Wencheng and strode back to Sequence #91's stone pillar.

The battle between Mu Yan and Wu Ting and Mu Yan and Liu Hong had left the audience's hearts pumping, and there were strategies used during the fights. Both sides had used their secret weapons to counter each other.

Since they were all exceptional spirit qi professionals, the details of the battle had all played out beautifully. Both battles were worthy of being used as case studies in the lessons of any school.

Compared to those battles, this battle with Lin Yuan was much simpler. All he had done was raise his hand. He had not even summoned any feys.

This was enough to burn up both of Mu Yan's Ice Vein Frozen Bats. Even Mu Yan had vanished.

No one was naive enough to think that the Hot Ice Boiling Mouse's flames had accidentally burned up Mu Yan.

Lin Yuan and Mu Yan's match could be described as strange. After the momentary shock, Tian Ningning scratched her head and chuckled wryly. She did not know how to begin writing about such a fight because she had no idea what she had just seen.

However, the draft needed to come out 20 minutes after the match. Tian Ningning could not wait until Lin Yuan was done with the Radiance Hundred Sequence reranking to call him and ask him about what had happened.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Ningning called Liu Hao.

Once Liu Hao picked up, Tian Ningning immediately said, "Big Brother Hao, did you happen to watch the match between Lord Lin Yuan and Mu Yan?

"I don't understand how Lord Lin Yuan managed to defeat Mu Yan. Are you able to contact a few high-class Creation Masters who can analyze the situation?"

Tian Ningning had anticipated that this task would not be easy. The difficulty came from being able to understand the techniques used by Lin Yuan and the others!

It was not just Lin Yuan. Liu Jie, Zong Ze, and the rest were all elites, and it would not be easy to see through their techniques!

However, not even the boldest person dared to make wild conjunctions.

As the manager of Star Web's reporters, Liu Hao needed to watch all the matches on Star Web.

Tian Ningning's phone call had come at the right time. Even if she had not called him, he would be calling her.

The smaller reporters could write the battle records as they saw fit and did not need to take responsibility for what they wrote. However, Star Web's official reporters needed to take responsibility for every single one of their words.

Liu Hao had been afraid that the rookie Tian Ningning would forget her duty.

But now that she called him, Liu Hao praised her to himself. He really liked principled people.

"Ningning, I was afraid of such a thing happening and invited a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master just for this. I will send him over to analyze the abilities displayed by Lin Yuan. You just continue to observe the next match."

Tian Ningning nodded. She was really looking forward to the analysis of Lin Yuan's abilities that the Class 4 Creation Master came up with.

This was partly because she needed to do her job but also because she was curious about Lin Yuan's abilities.

Given that even an experienced Star Web reporter like Tian Ningning felt this way, it was unsurprising that the audience in the commentators and hosts' live-streaming rooms had already filled the comment section with an endless stream of words. All of them were expressing their shock and amazement.

Lin Yuan's actions were akin to that of a sun deity who had descended from the heavens and could thus set fire to entities by just raising his hand.

He truly lived up to his title of 'Miracle'.

The battle that Mu Yan had triggered had left audiences with such overwhelming delight and astoundment!

Lin Yuan had not expected such a reaction at all.

The Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom had reached Suzerain/Myth II. It overwhelmed the two Ice Vein Frozen Bats in both quality and grade. So it was only to be expected that it would be able to kill them instantaneously.

Lin Yuan had nurtured the Sky-Questioning Flaming Heart Mushroom with only the best methods from the moment it was spirit locked by Morbius. It would be difficult for even other Suzerain/Myth II feys to stand toe-to-toe with it.

Lin Yuan had killed Mu Yan instantaneously because he understood her wishes. Since she wanted to see how large the gap between them was, he would show it to her. It would be much better to show her the truth than to lie to her!

Tian Ningning and the rest did not understand Lin Yuan's methods, but some of the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had guessed what Lin Yuan did.

There were a few feys that were very sensitive to the aura of vitality and elemental energy. When Lin Yuan raised his hand, he had released an aura of vitality.

This aura had been carried by the wind and spread out in all directions. It was very similar to the spores released by fungi-species fey.

It was this aura that had injected the two Ice Vein Frozen Bats and caused them to be set on fire.

Not even Liu Jie had witnessed this move before, much less Xia Qing, Zong Ze, and the rest.

All of them had their own secret weapons. This was what made these battles interesting!

Liu Jie and Xia Qing, who were Sequence #1 and Sequence #2 respectively, knew that they were about to be called to battle soon.

Once it reached Lin Yuan's turn, he would choose to challenge both of them.

They knew that Lin Yuan's goal was Sequence #1 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Both Liu Jie and Xia Qing were looking forward to battling Lin Yuan.

Xia Qing turned to Liu Jie, who was sitting next to her, and said with a grin, "Big Brother Liu, I am glad I gave up the spot of Sequence #1 to you last time. It gave me the chance to be the first to battle Lin Tuan.

"I know that you are stronger than me now. I followed the Spirit Guards while they went around to places that have been overtaken by carcinoma feys, so I am well aware of the might of a Myth Breed carcinoma fey.

"I will do my best to force Lin Yuan to reveal as many of his secret weapons as I can. The highlight of the Radiance Hundred Sequence reranking will be the battle between you and Lin Yuan!"

Liu Jie looked deeply into Xia Qing's eyes. He did not agree with what she said about giving up the spot of Sequence #1 to him.

Last year, he had already taken control of more than 20 insect-species carcinoma feys, and they had all reached Diamond grade at least. In a fight between him and Xia Qing, he stood a higher chance of winning.

After all, she had a limited number of feys. Some of his carcinoma feys' abilities could target her feys specifically.

However, Liu Jie was very interested in what Xia Qing said about forcing Lin Yuan to reveal as many of his secret weapons as possible.

Lin Yuan would only use feys that were Myth III and below during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. There was no way he would use secret weapons that were beyond the power of the younger generation.

He was much too mysterious. Although Liu Jie was extremely close to Lin Yuan, he had no idea how deep the well of Lin Yuan's power went.

Liu Jie only had one objective for this battle, which was to prove himself. He wanted to prove that after his two years of growth, he finally deserved the duty of being Lin Yuan's retainer. Liu Jie had never stopped working hard with this goal in mind.

When Elegance took control of the insect-species carcinoma feys, Liu Jie had to endure the vicious attacks of the insect-species carcinoma feys before the psychotoxins came into effect and took control of the insect-species carcinoma feys' spiritual energy and soul.

Liu Jie had only managed to grit his teeth and push on to become the main world's true Heart of Insect Swarm because he never lost sight of this goal.
