Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 873: Snake Change Medusa

The veteran and top factions’ disciples that were initially scared for Lin Yuan were now in shock.

“Oh my God! Is Lin Yuan a fey in human form? How can he blast away such a huge lava tiger while remaining unscathed? Although Lord Zuo Ming’s barrier blocks the full heat of the flames, the Life-Changing Fire Beast is still a Diamond X/Fantasy III source-type lifeform. Moreover, Lord Zong Ze was the one who evolved the Source Fire into this Life-Changing Fire Beast.”

A chain of gasps was let out from the area outside the Midnight Palace, the most concentrated sounds coming from the cluster of female disciples who were standing around Sheng Yin.

All the young female disciples selected to attend the Guard Ye Banquet were princesses in their own right. They had all proven themselves better than their male counterpart disciples, and their families had invested a lot into them.

Although they had no shortage of male suitors, they were always more attracted by men that were more outstanding than themselves.

The eyes of everyone outside the Midnight Palace were fixed on the Martial Stage.

Regardless of their background, the two finalists of the Martial Arts Stage were seen as more powerful than the winners of the Arts Stage and Martial Stage.

Both Lin Yuan and Zong Ze had above-average looks and unique charms.

With his crimson half-armor, cold countenance, and obsession for battle, Zong Ze was full of wild savagery.

Lin Yuan was normally calm, but his occasional radiant smile was bright enough to blind. Moreover, he had a refreshing and natural aura that made the 24- and 25-year-old women want to reach out to pat him.

“Sister Sheng Yin, I can’t believe Lord Zong Ze is at a disadvantage right from the start.”

Sheng Yin immediately replied, “This isn’t proof of anything because they’re still feeling each other out. Zong Ze is definitely more powerful than this.”

In spite of her high-pitched voice, she sounded firm.

She thought back to two years ago when Gu Lang had invited her to a Class 3 marsh dimensional rift to help out as a healing-type spirit qi professional.

Before the mission had started, Sheng Yin had already been aware that the goal was to capture the Snake Change Medusa.

No matter how high the Snake Change Medusa’s grade evolved to, it would remain as a dimensional lifeform with a half-human form.

Normally, spirit qi professionals could not form contracts with dimensional lifeforms unless the dimensional lifeform had undergone a special mutation.

The Snake Change Medusa was a dimensional lifeform that spirit qi professionals could contract.

After mutating, the Snake Change Medusa turned into a snake and looked like any other snake-species fey. But since it had the powers of Medusa, it was extremely powerful and rare.

Gu Lang had been extremely interested in the Snake Change Medusa at that time. However, he did not expect its bloodline to be exceptionally powerful. Before it evolved, it had already reached Suzerain.

After evolving, the Snake Change Medusa would no longer be a dimensional lifeform. Thus, it would not be repelled by the dimensional rift or cause the dimensional rift to evolve.

Since it had been two years ago, she had been completely overwhelmed by the power of the Suzerain Snake Change Medusa.

Back then, Sheng Yin had seen a deadly fire.

Thousands of columns of flames had risen toward the sky as blinding crimson light flashed intermittently. The Suzerain Snake Change Medusa had been burnt almost to ashes and was finally stored away by Gu Lang in a fey storage box.

That was the first time that Sheng Yin had been dumbfounded by the power of someone around her age.

Ever since that time, Zong Ze had become Sheng Yin’s idol.

Nonetheless, not even Sheng Yin knew what secret weapon Lin Yuan possessed that gave him strong fire resistance.

Although Zong Ze had not used his full strength, the heat of the Diamond X/Fantasy III

Life-Changing Fire Beast’s flames were not to be looked down upon.

These flames would be able to incinerate any fey below Diamond/Fantasy. Even feys of the same level as the Life-Changing Fire Beast would not be able to escape unscathed.

As a Creation Master, Sheng Yin was certain that Lin Yuan was not a fey, nor did he have the bloodline of a fey. This was because she could not detect any fey aura or beast patterns from him.

He was a regular human spirit qi professional. This proved that the power he was wielding all came from the feys he had contracted.

One of Lin Yuan’s feys must have enabled him to have such strong resistance against fire.

Their brief interaction did not allow Sheng Yin to study him carefully enough.

A young girl’s voice sounded out from near Sheng Yin’s ear, “Sister Sheng Yin, I’m declaring that henceforth, Lin Yuan shall be my darling! His cartwheel was too cool!”

At that moment, Sheng Yin inhaled sharply and noticed why something had seemed to be off.

Although his strong resistance to fire was due to his fey, the fighting strategies and combat skills were all of his own.

Could this young man be a martial arts genius?

During the Spirit Qi Awakening era, it was a complete waste of time to train in combat skills and fighting strategies.

The noise from the crowd had reached a crescendo, yet Lin Yuan and Zong Ze looked to be completely unaffected.

Despite being affected by his bad luck, which caused him to become a battle fanatic, Zong Ze remained clear-headed.

In fact, his mind became even more active while he was fighting.

He had attacked Lin Yuan because he knew that the latter would be able to handle it. However, he had not anticipated that Lin Yuan would receive the attack in such a manner and even launch a counterattack.

Zong Ze really liked the feeling of being around Lin Yuan and the fragrance that seemed to follow Lin Yuan.

Additionally, with his love of battle, Zong Ze felt that being able to spar with Lin Yuan was a blessing from heaven.

As such, Zong Ze’s focus intensified, and he said to Lin Yuan, “Since you don’t think my flames are strong enough, the real blaze is about to light up!”
