Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 565: Chapter 559: Isn’t This a Bit Much?

What strong spiritual power!

As they felt Wang Xuan unleash his superpower, everyone on stage was stunned.

The strength Li Ke just showcased was definitely witnessed by all.

Yet even still, he was pressed to the ground by this power; one can imagine how formidable it was.

As the saying goes, ”peers are enemies.”

Both individuals primarily use spiritual strategies, making the strength of spiritual power a decisive key.

Li Ke only has five pieces of the Divine Fragment now, and his fundamental strength is already weaker than the opponent’s.

Moreover, Wang Xuan is an S-level spiritual ability superpower user, naturally making his base higher than a Lord’s, with a strong suppressive ability against him.

As Wang Xuan stepped closer to him, Li Ke’s face turned red; he struggled to stand up and attempted to resist the other’s spiritual oppression.

But in the next second, Wang Xuan, before him, suddenly widened his eyes.

Those eyes, calm like ancient wells, suddenly turned into eerie compound eyes; a colossal shadow of a black flood dragon appeared behind him, similarly looking down at Li Ke, its eyes emitting strange ripples.

It was the Soul-devouring Black Flood Dragon, of the same lineage as Wang Tu’s Blood Flood Dragon!

The two brothers, one with spirit and the other with power, both awakened the flood dragon’s bloodline superpower, making their abilities more terrifying than an average superpower user.

Under this overwhelming force, both Wang Xuan and Li Ke’s eyes became dazed, seemingly engaged in intense confrontation within the Spiritual Illusion Realm.

The trembling in Li Ke’s legs and the fine sweat on Wang Xuan’s forehead gave it away.

Especially Wang Xuan.

He obviously didn’t expect that Li Ke, though weaker in strength, could resist his spiritual pressure, which made him frown. He gradually mobilized all the powers of the Soul-devouring Black Flood Dragon behind him.

Finally.

Li Ke began to show signs of not holding on, suddenly withdrawing from the illusion confrontation, gasping heavily.

No one knew what they experienced in the illusion realm.

But from their behavior, it was clear that Li Ke was at a disadvantage, for the difference in power was too significant, and they were peers after all.

”I admit defeat!”

Li Ke raised his arm high, directly voicing the three words that surprised everyone.

Being tactful and nimble in his actions, he naturally wouldn’t foolishly insist for the sake of so-called face. Seeing that things were awry, he admitted defeat immediately.

Then, enveloped in a beam of light, he was directly transmitted back to the stands, causing an uproar.

Even someone as powerful as Li Ke lost.

It goes to show how formidable Wang Xuan’s spiritual superpower is; it might have already approached those top-level spiritual-type power users.

”How are you? Are you alright?”

In the stands of the Anti-Alliance Camp.

As soon as Li Ke appeared, Lin You came up to him.

”I’m fine, just a bit annoyed with that guy,” Li Ke said with a pout.

”Originally, I’m not afraid of his strength, but his Soul-devouring Black Flood Dragon can devour spirit. I was unwary and had half of my spiritual power devoured by him.”

”Devour spirit?” Lin You showed surprise.

No wonder Li Ke lost so quickly; it turns out he possesses such an ability that restrains spiritual types.

Saying so, it seems Li Ke losing isn’t unjustified.

And as Lin You was deep in thought, Xiang Yue Emperor also strolled over.

”How does it feel to lose?”

”I often told you to improve your strength properly, did you regret not listening now?”

”Mom, how dare you say that? If you’d given me a few more Divine Fragments and Rule Fragments, would your son have lost this badly?”

Upon hearing Xiang Yue Emperor’s words, Li Ke immediately reacted, complaining, with a hint of a child’s petulance.

Xiang Yue Emperor wasn’t angry at his failure; instead, she smiled: ”I don’t give you so many resources at once because I don’t want you to overly rely on power.”

”Only by slowly becoming familiar with your own power can you maximize its potential.”

”Just like the battle earlier, if you’d been more careful and not had your spirit devoured, at least a draw would’ve been possible, instead of trying merely to win through external forces.”

”What if one day I’m no longer here, who would give you this power?”

As a mother, Xiang Yue Emperor’s guidance for Li Ke certainly showed her concern, without judging right or wrong solely based on success or failure.

This might explain why she didn’t just pile up resources to push Li Ke to Tier Ten Peak or even Tier Eleven.

If one only relies entirely on power without considering one’s control over it,

even reaching a high tier would only turn one into an upgrade resource for others.

”Oh...”

Li Ke apparently understood this reasoning too, responded, and his momentum deflated instantly.

However, very soon, a Divine Fragment emitting seven-colored light appeared before him.

”Here, take it; this is your reward for your recent performance.”

Xiang Yue Emperor’s gentle voice sounded.

The dispirited Li Ke’s eyes lit up immediately.

”Thank you, Mom!”

He excitedly glanced at Xiang Yue Emperor, promptly took the divine fragment, and began absorbing it directly on the platform.

The glow radiating from the divine fragment attracted the gaze of others nearby, filling them with both envy and jealousy.

Even Lin You, standing by, clicked his tongue secretly, once more lamenting the differences among people.

After all, his seven divine fragments were obtained through life-and-death struggles, and truly cannot compare with the wealthy second generation.

However, he also understood that what Xiang Yue Emperor just said was not wrong. No matter how powerful the Power is, it must be something one can control.

Although he had paid a lot along the way, he had also been growing continuously, at least stronger than those who easily acquired resources.

”Look quickly! Someone’s going up again!”

Suddenly, an exclamation echoed in the crowd, pulling everyone’s attention back.

On the arena where Wang Xuan was, an energetic old King leaped up, gazing at Wang Xuan from afar.

The old King’s presence was impressive, not weaker than Wang Xuan in the slightest.

With a deep gaze, it was evident that he had experienced countless years, clearly not someone easy to deal with.

”It seems those experts can’t hold back anymore,” whispered Ji Xinghe on the side, feeling equally eager to try.

As if in response to his words.

More and more people began leaping up, occupying the empty arenas amidst waves of cheers.

Then, intense battles began as they contested for the mere hundred spots.

Lin You stood at the edge of the grandstand, observing the battles on each platform, without taking action immediately.

After all, only those who finally occupied the arenas could secure the spots.

There was still more than half a day left in the tournament, rushing in now would be a waste of effort and would expose one’s tactics and trump cards; it was better to wait until the weaker contestants were eliminated before making a move.

Many shared this mindset.

Numerous capable individuals refrained from acting rashly, choosing instead to observe from the grandstand, studying their adversaries’ techniques.

However.

The Lords of the Anti-Alliance Camp never anticipated.

Just as they thought the tournament would proceed as expected, they gradually discovered that their members on the arenas were rapidly retreating.

By noon.

The Life Realm had seized nearly sixty of the hundred arenas, dominating a vast area.

The remaining forty were divided between the Realm Alliance and Anti-Alliance Camp, together occupying only about half of what the opposing side did.

The three factions occupied three directions, forming a highly imbalanced three-legged stand.

”What’s happening? How did the Life Realm take so many platforms?”

”If this continues, they might take them all.”

”No, it’s the Realm Alliance! The Realm Alliance is also contesting with us for the arenas!”

”Damn it! They are indeed causing trouble!”

Amidst curses from the Anti-Alliance team, they finally noticed the situation on the field.

Not only was the Life Realm seizing their arenas, but even the Realm Alliance was targeting them, knocking all their people off the platforms.

In just half a day, the Realm Alliance had occupied over thirty arenas.

In contrast, they were left with less than ten.

Compressed into a cornered region by the two forces, looking precarious.

Originally, few of them crossed the Celestial Ladder, facing a numerical disadvantage against the Life Realm’s native population.

Now, with the Realm Alliance joining the fray, their situation worsened.

”Haha, you trash from beyond, better hurry back to your Realm!”

”A bunch of weaklings, thinking you’re so strong, but is this it?”

”We’ll gladly take your arenas first, enjoy yourselves in that corner.”

”Quick! Seize their remaining platforms, leave them none!”

Seeing the three-legged stand broken, the Life Realm people began taunting and mocking with glee.

The Realm Alliance, on the other hand, held firmly to their occupied platforms, sending people to gradually swallow the Anti-Alliance’s spots.

If this continued, by the time the tournament ended, the opposing side would be well-prepared, making it difficult to reclaim the arenas.

”Take action, we can’t let this continue.”

The old Kings of the Anti-Alliance side exchanged a grave look.

If the arenas were entirely occupied by the opposing side, even if they retaliated violently at the end, they couldn’t guarantee a 100% chance of reclaiming them.

This would only result in a total defeat.

So quickly, several old Kings with more than seven Divine Fragments took to the stage, starting to seize the arenas occupied by the Life Realm and Realm Alliance.

However.

The Life Realm and Realm Alliance clearly anticipated their counterattack.

They had stationed their strongest individuals at the edges of the intersection, blocking them completely.

Those who chose to challenge and successfully take the platforms inside the opposing side’s territory.

Immediately became the focus of intense attacks from numerous strong adversaries, with their platforms quickly seized again before they even warmed them.

Expansion was nearly impossible.

”What a tactic, using this strategy of holding the territory to exclude us,” Saint Radiance Emperor’s eyes sparkled, unable to resist the praise.

The people in the Life Realm were even more united than they had imagined.

”Looks like we need some flag bearers to charge into their territory and draw their firepower, otherwise our spots will only get fewer,” Xiang Yue Emperor said gravely.

”Flag bearers?” Saint Radiance Emperor, upon hearing this, looked towards Lin You beside him.

With a burning gaze, he stared at Lin You, causing unease in Lin You’s heart.

”This... this doesn’t seem right? I’m so weak, with so few Divine Fragments, going up would only serve as a free meal.”
