Chapter 384 A brand new skill mutation, transcending the fear of death!
"Hmm?" Fang Zhou couldn't help but show a slight look of surprise.
"It seems this is the natural attribute natal Gu worm you mentioned before."
Hive Walkers, how interesting!
A spear that pierces the heart with bones!
With a thought, he conjured a sharp bone spear out of thin air.
"Go." Fang Zhou pointed, and the bone spear shot out.
clap clap.
Two vines emerged from Gu Yueyuan's palms.
The vines twirled in the air, as agile as two green snakes, easily deflecting the bone spear.
The bone spear changed direction, grazed Gu Yueyuan's shoulder, and shot into the arena, which was in chaos due to the skeleton army and Gu Yueyuan's gu insect army.
Although the shockwave from the explosion killed many insect swarms, it did not cause any damage to Guyueyuan.
This time, Gu Yueyuan used skill to overcome force, causing the Ark to return empty-handed.
Fangzhou's eyes showed approval: "Your vine whip is somewhat like a skill of a nature druid."
The Hive Walker is truly amazing!
But I'd like to see just how many bone spears you can withstand.
As he spoke, a faint blue light shone from Fangzhou's eyes.
Ten small skeletal arrows appeared simultaneously, hovering in front of him, and then shot towards Gu Yueyuan.
Then, ten more skeletal arrows materialized—
Repeated this several times, and in the blink of an eye, a rain of skeletal arrows was formed.
This is another form of the skeletal shockwave!
Whoosh whoosh————
Arrows of bones pierced the air with a terrifying sound.
While dodging, Gu Yueyuan swung the green vines in his hands, creating a blur of motion.
In his combined form with the Azure Dragon Centipede, his whip skills, honed through countless hours of rigorous practice, had reached a level of mastery where he could wield them with complete ease and precision.
However, there were simply too many bone arrows, and Gu Yueyuan was bound to lose his position eventually; he was struck in the shoulder by a bone arrow.
The bone arrow pierced his right shoulder, its tip protruding behind him.
"Flying ants on a dead tree!"
Gu Yueyuan endured the pain, flicked the green vine, and shot out a large swarm of flying ants from the wound.
The ant swarm rushed towards the ark, but the ark promptly erected its [Skeleton Armor].
Through his practice over this period, the [Bone Armor] skill has been enhanced, becoming much thicker and its defensive power has increased significantly.
What's even more commendable is that Ark has incorporated the advantages of many magic-based shield skills, making the Bone Armor sufficient to form an all-around, flawless defense.
It is naturally the most effective way to deal with the swarm of tiny insects shot by Gu Yueyuan.
The swarm of deadwood ants shot at the bone armor, their speed abruptly halted, and were then destroyed and killed by the death energy constantly flowing on the bone armor.
But this also forced the Ark to stop its skeletal arrow barrage attack.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Yueyuan endured the pain and forcefully pulled the bone arrow out of his shoulder.
Not a drop of blood flowed out, partly because of the deathly aura of the bone arrow, and partly because his body was constantly transforming into chitin under the blessing of the Azure Dragon Centipede.
This transformation not only enhanced his defenses but also allowed him to recover from injuries more quickly.
Fang Zhou concealed the [Bone Armor], and his gaze was immediately drawn to Gu Yueyuan's wounds.
Through the hole in the clothes, he could clearly see Gu Yueyuan's wound, revealing the texture of an insect's carapace, which then healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the newly grown skin, a jade-green pattern forms.
At the same time, Gu Yueyuan's ears began to grow longer.
His hair turned emerald green, with green leaves growing out from the ends.
His hands, too, changed from the vibrant color of normal flesh and blood to a dull and restrained appearance.
His skin began to harden, feeling like a chitinous carapace.
The Azure Dragon Centipede is constantly absorbing the abundant natural energy permeating the air.
Gu Yueyuan could not sense these energies under normal circumstances; he could only sense, absorb, and utilize them when he merged with the Azure Dragon Centipede.
Gu Yueyuan felt as if he were immersed in an energy pool, enveloped by rich natural energy, giving him an extremely comfortable feeling.
Within his body, all the insect swarms of natural attributes exuded a sense of thriving vitality.
When Gu Yueyuan uses the bloodline of his natal Gu to further activate these natural attribute Gu worms, their power will be amplified!
Gu Yueyuan took a deep breath; he had never felt so powerful before!
The abundant natural energy around him provided him with a continuous source of energy.
This is what makes the Azure Dragon Centipede so formidable.
Of course, everything comes at a price.
As a lower-ranking professional in the Black Iron tier, he cannot maintain the fusion time for too long.
Gu Yueyuan quickly suppressed his pride and complacency. He stared at the ark and said two words: "Let's fight."
Thus, a fierce battle suddenly broke out.
Green vines and bone spears intertwined, while arrows rained down and swarms of ants clashed!
One is a genius necromancer who also possesses the expertise of a magic conductor, allowing him to recover magic power at an extremely fast rate.
On the other hand, it merges with its natal Gu, the Azure Dragon Centipede, greatly enhancing its affinity for and efficiency in utilizing natural attribute energy in a short period of time.
This battle has transcended the level of an ordinary lower-tier Black Iron professional.
Liu Diewu, Sylvanas, and other second-year students stood outside the arena watching the battle from the sidelines, momentarily stunned.
They had never seen such a thrilling and intense battle erupt between lower-ranking Black Iron professionals!
Generally speaking, Iron-level professionals have limited energy and must carefully calculate the use of every bit of energy, proceeding with extreme caution as if walking on thin ice.
But now, both Ark and Ancient Moon Source are being used almost without restraint.
It was as if their energy was inexhaustible.
The entire arena was smashed to pieces by them.
After a long and fierce battle —
A spear that pierces the heart with bones!
Fangzhou seized the opportunity, tore open the fully charged scroll in his hand, and then suddenly swung the Necromancer Orb.
Another bone spear shot through the air!
Amplified by the charging scroll, it grew larger and larger as it flew through the air, then shot fiercely toward Guyueyuan.
Gu Yueyuan's agility attribute is only at the level of a normal mage, far below that of Fangzhou.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take the hit if he couldn't dodge it.
boom.
After a loud bang, Gu Yueyuan was shrouded in a layer of gray smoke.
"It's over—" Liu Diewu, who had been watching the match from the sidelines, sighed with lingering satisfaction.
Looking at Gu Yueyuan, who had vanished into the smoke, she murmured, "Without realizing it, have Fangzhou and Gu Yueyuan become this powerful?"
Compared to them, I am far inferior.
However, the eerie blue light emanating from the [Soul Eagle Eye] skill in Fangzhou's eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and his expression remained solemn.
Just then, the gray smoke slowly dissipated.
"How is this possible?" Sylvanas, who was watching the battle, was suddenly shocked. She saw that in the dissipating smoke, a tremendous change was taking place in the Ancient Moon Source.
Gu Yueyuan's body began to grow larger, twist, and stretch.
His hair transformed into strands of green vines, with palm-sized green leaves intertwining to create a lush green landscape.
His fingers had completely transformed into the tough segments of a centipede, though they still retained the general shape of a human body.
With a bang, Gu Yueyuan took a step forward.
He was completely disfigured; his original human face had been transformed into a face that was neither human nor insect, a strange creature.
He was three meters tall and had an incredibly robust body.
The insectoid carapace, a deep emerald green, was as thick as armor and covered with large patches of green leaves and vines.
At this moment, Guyueyuan is like a living tree in nature, blending into the surrounding environment and exuding a strong sense of life.
Fang Zhou looked at his transformation with some shock. Compared to Gu Yueyuan at this moment, he was like a child under an adult's feet.
"With this appearance, have you completely absorbed the power of the Azure Dragon Centipede?"
Fangzhou vaguely guessed the answer.
He suddenly realized something, but was even more confused.
This was merely a friendly sparring match; he and Gu Yueyuan were friends, not enemies.
Therefore, Fangzhou voiced his doubts and asked directly, "Gu Yueyuan, aren't you afraid of absorbing all the essence of the Azure Dragon Centipede by using it like this?"
"Giving up such a precious natal Gu is far too high a price to pay!"
"Ark—" Gu Yueyuan's voice became sharp and hollow, as if countless insects were chirping.
"I don't understand you, and you don't understand me."
I am the insect hive, and the insect hive is me.
Of all insects, I am the only one who reigns supreme, and I am the only one who can be used.
The death of a natal Gu is nothing.
As long as I'm alive, and as long as I fight to my heart's content, it's just a matter of spending a little more energy to collect more Gu worms.
Why hold yourself back because of this?
"Come, for the final battle, I still have one more strike!"
As he spoke, dozens of ancient blue vines, resembling giant pythons, attacked the ark.
"Our military academy really does produce a lot of war fanatics!" Fang Zhou thought to himself as he watched Gu Yueyuan's excited performance, before quickly retreating.
But the green vine was several times faster than before, and soon caught up with the ark.
Thick, green vines, as thick as an arm, brushed against his body and crashed into the arena beneath his feet.
In an instant, dirt flew everywhere and gravel bounced all around.
[Bone Armor]!
Fangzhou was gradually caught off guard and hurriedly raised his armor.
Gu Yueyuan has stopped launching a direct attack and is instead manipulating the green vines to surround and entangle the skeletal armor.
Then, with a sudden contraction, the [Bone Armor] made a hissing sound.
The death energy on the surface flowed rapidly, crashing against the green vines formed from natural energy, annihilating them in ripples.
"This is bad!"
"If my bone armor breaks and my hands and feet are bound by the green vines, I will be defeated by Gu Yueyuan!"
Fang Zhou was absolutely determined.
He can use the [Skeleton Flash] skill at any time to condense multiple skeletons around him, then break free from the control and strangulation of the green vines and perform continuous flashes to avoid the final madness that Gu Yueyuan sacrificed to the Azure Dragon Centipede.
However, a cold glint flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes.
It's not time yet!
With bones in his hands, he could escape his predicament at any time, so why rush to avoid battle?
Gu Yueyuan manipulated the green vines, which, like serpents, tightly coiled around the ark's skeletal armor, attempting to weaken the ark's defenses by squeezing them.
Fang Zhou felt the pressure increasing, but he did not panic. Instead, he focused his mind even more and prepared to deal with the situation ahead.
At this moment, the undead army of the Ark, led by Olaf and a number of undead lieutenants, had almost completely surrounded and killed the insect swarm army of Ancient Moon Source.
If he can completely defeat Gu Yueyuan in a head-on confrontation, it will be enough to prove that he is the well-deserved number one seed of the second year!
With that thought settled, the skeletal armor faded away in the next second.
call!
A shockwave of skeletal remains erupted from it, growing larger and larger.
Fangzhou deliberately removed the defense of the [Bone Armor]. Since defense alone was not enough, he decided to fight offense with offense!
Suddenly, the temperature plummeted, and deathly stillness filled the air.
The shockwave from the grayish-white skeleton crashed towards Gu Yueyuan.
The vines were no match for the death tornado, and were sliced into countless pieces by the hidden skeletal blades within.
"Well done." Gu Yueyuan was fearless and bravely charged forward into the skeletal shockwave with his massive body.
After fully exploiting the potential of the Azure Dragon Centipede, Gu Yueyuan's four-dimensional attributes have seen extraordinary growth.
His combined body is no longer as fragile as that of an ordinary mage; it wouldn't be unreasonable to regard him as a powerful warrior of the same level.
This is precisely the Hive Walker's desperate move, and also the Hive Walker's most powerful moment.
With a muffled thud, Gu Yueyuan crashed into the gray tornado formed by the shockwave from the skeleton.
Amidst the shocked gazes of the onlookers, Gu Yueyuan opened his giant insect-like hand and embraced it.
Click-clack—
The sharp skeletal blades sliced across his body, and in an instant, countless green leaves fell and a large amount of carapace was cut away.
A searing pain shot through him, and Gu Yueyuan let out a low growl, but he did not relax. He mustered all his strength and pulled it inward.
The shockwave from the skeleton was gradually compressed by his power.
"This isn't a mage, he's a berserker who doesn't care about his life!"
Fangzhou inwardly complained, but remained completely unafraid.
The situation is now one of being caught in a dilemma.
If one does not wish to use [Bone Flash] to avoid its sharp edge, the only option is to channel necromantic power into this bone shockwave and clash with Gu Yueyuan.
As the Ark continuously infused with undead energy, the skeletal shockwaves cut into Gu Yueyuan's body. Although they gradually wore him down, they quickly became sharp again under the constant infusion of undead energy from the Ark.
The battle reached a stalemate, slipping out of either side's control, and neither could stop.
The Ark's necromantic power flowed like a spring, while Gu Yueyuan stubbornly held on thanks to the immense buffs provided by the Azure Dragon Centipede.
The clash of strength between the two shook the entire arena.
The difference is that Gu Yueyuan has sacrificed his most precious Azure Dragon Centipede to fight for this honor.
However, Ark had reserves of strength and could use the skeletal beacons he had left around the area to bring this chaotic battle to life at any time.
In other words, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that the Ark can advance or retreat at will, and is already in an invincible position.
Liu Diewu, Sylvanas, Zhang Wu, and other second-year students stood at a distance, watching without daring to breathe.
This battle has reached its most crucial moment. The outcome of this clash will determine who wins and who loses.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the shockwave from the skeleton grew larger and larger, forcefully suppressing Gu Yueyuan.
The sounds of vines colliding with bones echoed repeatedly, each impact causing the ground to tremble and dust to fly.
