Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 561: Chapter 555: Leaving Seclusion, Tournament Begins

”Boom!!”

A violent roar resounded through a stone forest, shaking the surrounding air intensely.

Lin You, drenched in sweat, stood on a piece of open ground, looking at the massive boulder shattered into countless pieces in the distance, and the Tier Ten practice dummy crushed below it, feeling overjoyed.

After more than ten days of practice, he finally managed to freely change the form of his spiritual power to manipulate objects for battle.

In this world now, he could be considered a combination of a Spirit Master, Wood Element Superpower, and Spiritual Ability — three major professions.

This was all thanks to the rich diversity of the Plant Type Species Skills.

And after several days of extreme battle training, his combat awareness had also greatly improved.

Because dying here wouldn’t mean real death, he always simulated opponents with nine Divine Fragments for practice.

Finally, today, using various methods and the explosive power of the Offensive and Defensive Conversion Set, he defeated it, and that too without deploying any species, which wasn’t easy.

”Phew—”

Lin You let out a long breath and collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.

He felt completely drained, and even the slightest movement threatened to fall him apart.

These opponents with nine Divine Fragments were really formidable.

However, fortunately, shortly after the battle ended, a strong life aura suddenly surged around him, enveloping him instantly, and his injuries were visibly recovering at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.

Even the bloodstains on his body disappeared, and in no time, he was back to his peak condition.

”Haha, I defeated an A-level Lord Demon!”

At this moment, a joyful shout came from afar from the Little Mushroom Demon.

Amidst a mushroom jungle full of deep craters, the Mushroom Demon King, covered in injuries, was jumping up and down on the corpse of a gigantic dinosaur, with a strong sense of boasting in its words.

An A-level Lord Demon is equivalent to a Lord with full attributes and about seven Divine Fragments of power.

One must know.

During this period, the Faith Fruits accumulated by Lin You hadn’t been absorbed yet; the average basic attributes of all the Royal Family members were only over 60,000.

Counting the Divine Fragments and the Lingxi’s Aura boost, they barely reached 120,000.

Being able to defeat a Lord Demon with attributes exceeding 160,000 showcased the terror of their skills.

Especially since the Little Mushroom Demon also had a double explosion power boost, although it was only an 80% power increase, combined with the carpet bombing power of the Tier Ten Ancestor of Ten Thousand Poisons, it was extremely exaggerated.

Not even Rare Species could have such abnormal skills.

Sure enough.

Soon, apart from the opponent selected for Cyan Gang’s Shadowless being too strong, forcing him to retreat, the other Royal Family members successfully defeated the A-level Lord Demons before them and began challenging S-level ones.

Lin You was confident that after this retreat when he absorbed the nearly 10,000 Faith Fruits accumulated over 30 days,

his Royal Family members would have no issue single-handedly challenging SS-level Lord Demons.

Even Royal Family members like Lingxi, Cyan Rattan, Shadowless, and Big Cannon with top-level explosive abilities wouldn’t fall into a disadvantage challenging the highest SSS-level.

If the Little Mushroom Demon weren’t so playful, it might achieve the same.

Indeed, this Space-Time Ferry truly provided Lin You an immense opportunity to boost his strength, suddenly filling him with confidence for the upcoming Origin Conference.

”Great! Half a month remains, I must try to enhance other aspects!”

Just like that.

After resting, Lin You returned to the stone forest to continue honing his combat skills.

The space within the Space-Time Ferry was once again filled with the sounds of intense battling.

...

In the blink of an eye.

Three days passed in the outside world.

After several days of preparation, the annual Origin Conference, watched by all, finally officially began.

Early in the morning, innumerable powerhouses at various levels received the notification and set out toward the direction of the World Tree.

Unbeknownst to them, in the entire central city, massive Floating Platforms had already been erected in the sky, encircling the World Tree’s trunk in a circle.

In each direction, signs indicating Tier Six to Tier Eleven were set up, clearly distinguishing them all.

And in each level zone, there were precisely one hundred platforms wrapped in transparent light curtains, staggered at varying heights, resembling arenas for combat.

Around the edges were spacious stands.

At a glance, it was a sea of humanity.

All were powerhouses from various forces, and bystanders specifically there for the spectacle.

Figures arriving on flying mounts intertwined in the air, circling the World Tree back and forth, with continuous shouts echoing.

It was as if they were heading to an epic, grand gathering.

”Is the Origin Conference held here?”

Lin You, riding a Jade Green Dragon in the air, was entranced by the magnificent scene unfolding before him.

When.

Could the World Tree in his territory also appear in such grandeur?

Not daring to waste time, he immediately followed the guidance, holding the conference Token to enter the field representing Tier Ten.

”Brother You! Over here!”

Just after passing through the entrance, Li Ke, who had been watching the entrance directions, immediately spotted him, waving vigorously while shouting.

```

It seems this guy left the Space-Time Ferry before him and arrived early to claim his spot here.

Lin You didn’t think much, and with a spin in the air, he flipped off the back of the Jade Dragon King and landed steadily on the viewing platform where Li Ke was.

”Brother You, you finally came out. I thought you were going to miss it.” Li Ke hurriedly came forward to say.

Behind him, a graceful and dignified woman stood quietly, her serene gaze silently assessing him.

Great Emperor!

Lin You was shocked; he didn’t expect an Emperor-level figure to appear at the Tier Ten venue.

”Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is my mother. Mother, this is Lin You, the person I told you about.”

Seeing Lin You’s expression, Li Ke realized it and immediately introduced him.

Upon hearing this, Lin You suddenly understood and quickly stepped forward to bow to the woman.

”Greetings, Xiang Yue Emperor.”

”No need for formalities.” Xiang Yue Emperor smiled slightly, her smile like a plum blossom in March, expressing warmth with a touch of mature charm.

”I’ve often heard Ke’er mention you. Has he caused you much trouble lately?”

A mother knows her son best, and it’s clear the Xiang Yue Emperor was well aware of her son’s behavior, with her words reflecting a hint of resignation.

”Mother, what kind of person do you take me for? Am I the kind to casually cause trouble for others?” Li Ke protested immediately, arguing back.

”Indeed, Li Ke has helped me a lot during this time.” Lin You nodded quietly.

If it weren’t for Li Ke, he would have had to spend much more effort gathering information, which saved him a lot of time.

”See, even Brother You says so.”

Feeling validated by Lin You, Li Ke instantly raised his head with a proud expression.

As if to say, your son has matured and is no longer the reckless troublemaker he once was.

Xiang Yue Emperor didn’t speak, instead, she smiled deeply, while discreetly evaluating Lin You, feeling slightly surprised.

She knew very well her son’s temperament.

He wouldn’t easily become close to someone he didn’t respect, let alone call them brother.

Which meant, he truly recognized Lin You, admitting Lin You was stronger, thus lowering his stance.

For an Emperor’s Son to lower his stance, it spoke volumes about Lin You’s extraordinary nature.

Moreover, for some reason, she sensed a faint aura from Lin You that was very similar to the World Tree of the Life Realm.

It was a presence higher than the Plant Type Territory Core, making her somewhat puzzled.

”Oh, Xiang Yue, you’re here too.”

While thinking, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

The long-unseen Saint Radiance Emperor, along with Ji Xinghe and several Royal Kings under the Holy Radiance Empire, walked over steadily, catching Lin You’s eye.

”Why are you here?” Xiang Yue Emperor asked curiously.

”Anyway, we don’t need to fight for spots, so naturally, we’re here to watch the performance of our young ones. Aren’t you doing the same?”

Saint Radiance Emperor glanced at Xiang Yue Emperor and Li Ke beside her, just catching sight of Lin You, and his eyes widened.

”You little brat, you’re here after all. Where’ve you been hiding these days? Made me search high and low!”

The familiar, straightforward words made the other Royal Kings’ faces turn peculiar.

Xiang Yue Emperor merely smiled slightly, having long experienced the hearty nature of the Saint Radiance Emperor.

”Uh... Emperor, you’ve been looking for me?” Lin You asked awkwardly, ”I’ve been cultivating inside the Space-Time Ferry these past few days, and just came out today.”

”Space-Time Ferry? What good is that for us Lords?” Saint Radiance Emperor clearly knew of this thing and looked dismissively.

But he didn’t know.

Lin You possessed the Origin Universe, a method distinct from a Territory, perfectly compatible with the Space-Time Ferry.

”Anyway, have you understood the conference rules? I came looking for you to explain them so you won’t embarrass me when you mess up.” Saint Radiance Emperor glared at Lin You again.

”Luckily, my son also just came out of the Space-Time Ferry and hasn’t heard about the conference rules. So let’s discuss them together.” Xiang Yue Emperor interjected.

With her presence, Saint Radiance Emperor couldn’t be too rude. His plan to discipline Lin You was halted.

After a slight cough, he began explaining the conference rules.

The rules for this Origin Conference were simple.

And that’s arena battles!

Each level’s area has a hundred spots for contacting the Seed of the World, determined through battles.

Moreover, emperors from various realms acted as judges, overseeing the conference.

”See those platforms? All you have to do is stay on them without getting knocked off.” Saint Radiance Emperor pointed to the platforms covered by a light curtain in the distance.

”After each battle, regardless of win or loss, your status will instantly recover fully, so you don’t have to worry about dying or getting exhausted by continuous fights.”

”The competition lasts for a day; only the last hundred standing on the platforms will earn a spot.”

”And one more thing to remember, beware of those from Life Realm and Realm Alliance. The three factions will likely target each other mutually.” Xiang Yue Emperor supplemented.

Securing more spots for their faction would be more advantageous, so they naturally wouldn’t want their members being eliminated too quickly.

As they explained the rules.

The other factions’ leaders also began directing their respective teams.

The entire venue was in uproar until finally, after half an hour, the Guardian Race team appeared, led by several formidable Emperor-level powerhouses, slowly heading to the highest viewing platform, causing the venue to instantly quiet down.
