C27 The Wild Beast Died

The rage within Wild Beast surged, causing his entire frame to quiver uncontrollably.

In an instant, his body sprouted a thick coat of silver fur.

Soon, he was enveloped in hair, his form expanding in size.

He crouched to the ground, his hands morphing into razor-sharp claws.

With a piercing gaze fixed on Lin Luo, Wild Beast unleashed a thunderous roar.

No longer human, he had transformed into a mutant beast.

The spectators in the stands watched Wild Beast's transformation with grave expressions.

What had begun as a simple duel had escalated with the emergence of a Strengthening Faculty ability—Biogenic Reworking.

The fight was getting interesting.

Wild Beast launched into action, his body now enhanced with the Wind Wolf gene, granting him the creature's blistering speed.

In a flash, a silver streak materialized before Lin Luo, and claws gleaming with a chilling light lashed out at his chest.

Lin Luo, drawing on his potent chakura for heightened senses, narrowly evaded the strike.

Yet, his chest bore a fresh, crimson slash.

Savoring his successful hit, Wild Beast licked the blood from his claws, intent on reducing Lin Luo to shreds.

With each silver blur that swept by, Lin Luo's wounds multiplied.

The tide of battle shifted rapidly; no one had anticipated Wild Beast's possession of Biogenic Reworking abilities.

Such power was surely enough to propel him to Beginner Level.

This time, no murmurs of discontent rose from the grandstand.

To the onlookers, a Beginner Level's might was a certain victory over a Rookie Level.

Victory seemed assured for the Beginner Level.

In the Academy Team's training room of the City of Fire's southern sector, Avila watched Lin Luo's pummeling with growing irritation.

She turned to Inno and demanded, "What's the deal with this so-called Fearless Expert? How can he be so feeble?"

After a pause, Inno replied, "So you've noticed Fearless Expert's weakness at last."

"In the entire Elite Level, you're the only one who would issue a challenge to someone at Rookie Level."

Inno harbored his own uncertainties.

Lilith, though new to the War Net, had already demonstrated strength at the Beginner Level.

The Fearless Expert had triumphed over Lilith, yet he seemed to be no match for the Wild Beast. Why was that?

In the northern reaches of Osul City, Jaina's brow creased with concern. It was puzzling to her how a master capable of unleashing Spiritual Energy could be so thoroughly dominated by an adversary from the Biogenic Reworking Faculty. What was happening with this Fearless Expert? And why wasn't he mounting a counterattack?

Meanwhile, in the arena, the Wild Beast continued his relentless assault on Lin Luo. Despite this, a sense of urgency began to gnaw at him. He had been hammering away at the Fearless Expert for a solid ten minutes—why hadn't he fallen? What made this Fearless Expert so incredibly resilient?

Lin Luo, for his part, was busy tracking the Wild Beast's movements through the chakura dispersed in the air. His body was streaked with blood, yet he had skillfully evaded any life-threatening blows. Moreover, thanks to the regenerative properties of the Intercolumnar Cells, many of his wounds were already healing.

After a grueling ten minutes of adjustment, Lin Luo had caught up to the Wild Beast's pace. A thrill of excitement surged through him. Since the integration of the Intercolumnar Cells, Lin Luo felt his strength growing daily. The extent of his newfound power was still a mystery to him.

Now facing the Wild Beast, a creature endowed with the Biogenic Reworking Faculty's powers, Lin Luo was ready to test his limits. It was time to strike back. He launched a swift punch, having pinpointed the Wild Beast's location. His fist was bound to connect.

The Wild Beast, spotting Lin Luo's retaliation, felt a surge of exhilaration. A glint of bloodlust flickered in his eyes. He dismissed the incoming attack as too sluggish to be a threat, his form shimmering into a blur of silver as he shifted positions, seeking the perfect moment to deliver a decisive blow to Lin Luo.

But in a heartbeat, everything changed.

Lin Luo's fist materialized right in front of the Wild Beast. Time itself seemed to pause—the Wild Beast hung suspended in midair.

And in the blink of an eye, the Wild Beast was shattered to pieces.

Lin Luo had vanquished the creature of the Biogenic Reworking Faculty with a single, explosive strike.
