Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 238: Chapter 236: Massive Explosion, Destructive Dragon Flame

“Boom!”

A violent explosion echoed from a corner of the wasteland.

Lin You looked on in shock at the rhino demon in front of him that had been killed by the self-destruction skill of the Immortal Flower.

This was the second wave of demons he encountered after entering the Secret Realm.

He thought it would be another tough battle.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the rhino herd rushed into the Death Flower Sea, stepping on a patch of Immortal Flowers, it immediately triggered a series of violent explosions, directly killing dozens of rhinos charging at the front.

The self-destruction skill attached to the A-level Secret Treasure.

Terrifying!

Taking this opportunity, Lin You ordered the plants to surround the chaotic rhino herd and launched a carpet bombing.

In less than five minutes, he successfully annihilated all the rhinos and created hundreds of new Immortal Flowers.

“Very good! Keep moving forward!”

Looking at the mighty plant army in front of him, Lin You waved his hand and once again marched deeper into the wasteland.

At the same time.

In another Secret Realm space.

A young man with a stern face was commanding a group of mechanical species to exterminate a large group of venomous scorpions in front of him.

The difficulty level of the Secret Realm he was in was also SSS-level, just like Lin You’s!

And very strangely.

This person’s mechanical species were noticeably different from other mechanical lords’ species.

For instance, there were turtle turrets with wings, mechanical hunting dogs with flame thrusters, and even war mechas equipped with giant sword shields.

These things weren’t originally part of these species.

But now they were perfectly integrated with these species, forming these uniquely functional mechanical species.

Then, under the young man’s commands, they bombarded the venomous scorpion group ahead relentlessly.

In just a few minutes, the large group of Tier Seven venomous scorpions was completely wiped out, leaving none.

“Alright, regroup.”

With the young man’s shout, the mechanical species ceased their attacks and quickly gathered around him.

The young man pondered for a moment, took a peculiar toolbox from his personal space, and squatted next to one of the jet hunting dogs.

When the toolbox opened, it surprisingly floated out spanners and many mechanical parts.

Under the young man’s rapid operation, he began dismantling the flame thruster from the mechanical hunting dog and reassembling it into a front-mounted flamethrower.

The mechanical hunting dog’s Agility Attribute decreased accordingly, while its Spiritual Attribute increased, and its attack capability was enhanced.

If Lin You were here, he would undoubtedly be astonished and shocked.

Because this person was just like him.

He possessed the ability to enhance and modify species!

Moreover, it was an ability exclusively for mechanical species’ mechanical modifications!

This person.

Was none other.

Than Wen Yanming, the mechanical lord who had recently climbed to the top of the rankings!

Perhaps because it was near the end of the month and the leaderboard and Secret Realm attempts were about to reset, these geniuses who had been gathering power for over half a month finally started making their moves.

Besides Wen Yanming, other lords also began their efforts, attempting high-difficulty Secret Realms during these last few days, making the entire leaderboard busier than usual.

“Whoa! It changed, the leaderboard changed again!”

“Look quickly! There’s another guy in the top ten who cleared SSS-level difficulty!”

“Damn! In just a little while, the top hundred are all S-level difficulty?”

“Another SSS-level appeared! Incredible!”

“The first place Wen Yanming has been surpassed!”

“Have these big shots all gone crazy? Why are they all crowding today to hit the leaderboard?”

The lords talked among themselves, all gathered around the leaderboard monument, watching the constantly changing rankings.

Every shift in the top ten caused a wave of exclamations.

In just half a morning, the names on the leaderboard changed batch after batch, and the top ten were all covered by SSS-level difficulty scores.

Especially the top three lords, all reaching scores above 890, just a step away from SSS!

In the crowd.

Meng Jian stood with his team, also watching the leaderboard changes, each wearing a look of amazement.

“These people are too strong, the SSS-level Secret Realm, demon attributes are boosted by 90%!”

“Exactly, even with the five of us combined, we just barely cleared B-level, truly abnormal.”

“Really, comparing yourself to others can be infuriating. If I could also clear an SSS-level Secret Realm, I’d probably have struck it rich by now.”

“Dream on, you. Even getting through an A-level would be good.”

“Haha, right, we can’t compare with these big shots. Don’t you agree, Meng Jian?”

One teammate said, patting Meng Jian’s shoulder, asking.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Meng Jian’s eyes were wide open, staring in shock at the leaderboard.

Because just now, the board changed again.

Two golden names appeared on the leaderboard with a majestic presence!

First place: Lin You [Plant Type] SSS-level 999

Second place: Wen Yanming [Mechanical Type] SSS-level 990

Third place: Mu Wenyuan [Humanoid Type] SS-level 898

Fourth place: Sun Daoting [Undead Type] SS-level 895

…

SSS-level difficulty!

And there were two!!

But what shocked Meng Jian the most was the name at the top.

Lin You!

Wasn’t this the name of that newcomer he chatted with yesterday? And both were Plant Types!

Could it be the same person??

Not just him, but even the other lords around were stunned by this sudden leaderboard change, causing a commotion.

“Holy crap! What’s going on? How come there suddenly popped up two SSS-level ratings?”

“And both are near the 1000 rating!”

“That’s just too intense!”

“I know Wen Yanming, he seems to have a mechanical improvement ability, extremely powerful, but where did this Lin You come from? How can his rating surpass Wen Yanming?”

“SSS difficulty, the demon attributes must have doubled, right? Plus, there’s a Tier Eight leader demon after that!”

“Is this really something a human can handle?”

The lords discussed endlessly, speculating about Lin You’s identity or shocked by the sudden emergence of two SSS-level ratings.

It even attracted other surrounding lords, stirring up a wave of discussion.

Meanwhile.

Inside the secret realm space, in front of a huge cave.

Lin You was shocked to see a dragon corpse not far away.

Where his eyes reached, almost all the land was scorched and littered with debris.

These were all left from his recent battle with the dragon.

He never expected, in this highest difficulty secret realm, to face a pure-blood dragon leader demon.

With almost full attributes, not to mention overpowered skills.

His species suffered more than half losses, and a significant portion was burned to death by the leader demon’s dragon flame.

It truly counts as a heavy loss.

Fortunately, his royal family species were resilient enough, ultimately managing to kill the dragon, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Right after, several prompts sounded.

[Congratulations, you successfully eradicated the Tier Seven SSS-level secret realm, obtaining Tier Seven Territory Essence x1]

[Secret realm clearance successful, evaluating difficulty…]

[Evaluation complete, difficulty rating: 999]

[Congratulations, you have successfully reached the top of the secret realm personal rating leaderboard (Tier Seven), current rank: 1]

Just as he predicted.

The actual difficulty of the secret realm was higher than the initial evaluation difficulty.

Higher by a full 9 points.

Just one point short of reaching the highest value of 1000!

It even put him directly at the top of the personal rating leaderboard.

But this award-less leaderboard meant little to Lin You.

What he cared about was the reward after clearing the secret realm.

After all, he had worked hard and lost so many species, there ought to be something good to compensate for the loss, right?

As he was pondering, the dragon corpse in the distance quickly dispersed, gradually condensing into four golden glowing objects outside the cave.

Indeed!

There were four!

Two more than when he cleared the A-level.

Lin You was overjoyed, knowing the chances of getting treasure after clearing a secret realm were extremely low, and from what he’d heard from those lords, not every ten attempts would yield a treasure.

Yet he got treasures twice in a row!

And this time it’s SSS-level!

So he dared not hesitate, swiftly leaving the team to reach those objects.

Upon looking, there were two familiar objects, the secret realm’s guaranteed experience ball, and a light cluster that looked a lot like the Natural Origin.

No need to elaborate on the experience ball—giving 100 experience points to Tier Seven species—it’s bound to drop after clearing the secret realm.

The light cluster, for its part, suddenly transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body as Lin You approached.

He quickly opened his personal space to look.

Finding that the progress on the Natural Origin indeed changed from 0% to 0.5%.

That is to say, if he wanted to successfully activate the Natural Origin, he would need to kill at least 200 Tier Eight leader demons.

This is by no means a small number.

Unsure if killing Tier Seven or Nine leader demons would yield the same progress.

Considering the stingy nature of this system, probably not.

The progress for Tier Seven leader demons must be around 0.2%.

Putting the thought aside, Lin You continued to look at the other two objects.

A token and a red crystal wrapped in flames.

“Species Token!”

Lin You was taken aback, his gaze instantly drawn to the token, picking it up directly.

[Species Token: Bronze Giant Dragon (Beast Type)]

[Species Level: Tier Seven]

[Introduction: Use to unlock the Beast Type flying species “Bronze Giant Dragon.”]

[Usage Requirements: Tier Seven territory, 25000 magic energy]

It was actually the same species as the leader demon he had killed!

Lin You was extremely excited.

Dragon-type flying species, while not a rare species, are an extremely valuable existence among ordinary species.

Their worth definitely overshadowed the succubus species he sold earlier, possibly even exceeded.

After all, everyone has the dream of becoming a Dragon Knight.

Especially those Beast Type lords, who would absolutely not miss the opportunity to obtain this powerful species.

Happily taking the token, Lin You then looked at the last crystal, uncontrollably swallowing hard.

He never thought he’d find treasures twice in a row.

Wondering if it was due to him challenging higher difficulty.

Thinking that this is likely an SSS-level treasure, he couldn’t help but breathe rapidly, then reached out with trembling hands, slowly picking up the crystal.

[Species Secret Treasure: Destructive Dragon Flame]

[Treasure Type: Special]

[Secret Treasure Level: SSS-level]

[Treasure Effect: Adds dragon flame to species’ attacks, ignoring 40% of enemy defense, with added continuous burning effect, while reducing attacked enemy’s all attributes by 4%, usable by fire element species.]

[Introduction: A treasure used to enhance species, can be used in the species base, only strengthens one type of species.]
