The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 324 - 167: In the Limelight, Master Han Finally Arrives_4

"Fatal weakness... so that’s what it means?"

Zhuang Wenyao muttered, eyes shining bright, newfound interest sparked at the sight of this intriguing object.

—— In the natural world, there must certainly exist White Rock Rhinos, who have achieved Great Completion and Perfection of Rainbow Light.

Once this weakness is mastered, the killing process becomes effortless when encountering one of equal level again.

"Next."

Ye Hanjun manipulated the mechanism, lowering the White Rock Rhino and raising the second cage.

Inside it was a plant-type demon beast.

It was called the ’Silver Man-eating Flower’, its petals, and leaves were a shiny silver color that could be spotted from a great distance.

"Rustle, rustle..."

The Silver Man-eating Flower had wisdom to know it was captured and in danger.

But it was ferocious and didn’t show any fear, instead wildly producing vines in a desperate attempt to capture Ye Hanjun, swallow him into its flower bud and have a final meal.

"Who’s next? We need an agile attack type Fond Spirit to assist."

"I’ll do it!" Lu Mei volunteered.

She was a ’Scout’, whose Contracted Spirit was the ’Rotating Swallow’, capable of both flight and combat. She was confident about being the second assistant.

"As usual, I’ll ask questions first, and you try to answer."

"As a plant-type demon beast, who can completely annotate the advantages and disadvantages of the Silver Man-eating Flower?"

Renwo Kuang raised his hand, and upon Ye Hanjun’s nod, a clear, bell-like voice resonated within the lecture hall:

"The foremost advantage of the Silver Man-eating Flower would be its ability for self-regeneration."

"As long as it roots itself in the ground, it can continuously extract energies from nature and easily repair its branches and leaves..."

"In terms of flaws, it is well-known for its slow movement."

"Researchers once found that a Silver Man-eating Flower at the Rainbow Light Void Extraction stage can only move fifty meters in an hour, which is even more sluggish compared to the average pace of a turtle..."

Renwo Kuang’s elaboration was orderly, much like an introduction straight from a textbook about the features of the Silver Man-eating Flower.

Ye Hanjun chuckled appreciatively before turning his gaze towards the others:

"Does anyone want to supplement anything?"

"Although these knowledge points might be rich, if we don’t possess Fire Element, Thunder Element, but only agile attack type Fond Spirits like Rotating Swallow, how can we more efficiently deal with the Silver Man-eating Flower?"

"The root stem?" Yao An hesitated: "As far as I can tell, only by severing the root stem can we possibly deal a heavy blow, right?"

"Simply cutting won’t work."

Zhuang Wenyao shook his head:

"Some plants would be greatly debilitated when their root stems are severed, but when I encountered a Silver Man-eating Flower in the wild and tried such a plan, it was only slightly affected and was still highly active."

"Ah? That caustic?"

Yao An was silent, his burning gaze rested on Master Han’s countenance, eagerly awaiting his input.

"Prepare for combat!"

At Ye Hanjun’s command, the cage was opened.

With the barrier gone, the Silver Man-eating Flower’s vines burst out like writhing snakes, indiscriminately coiling towards any living being in their senses.

"Clang——"

In Ye Hanjun’s hand was suddenly a sabre.

After a casual swing, a vine stretched out towards him was severed.

Then he stepped back, handing the entire arena over to Lu Mei and her Rotating Swallow.

"!"

Lu Mei, with her Passive Ability ’Lightness’, started with a backflip to create distance.

But Rotating Swallow was small and lacked the ability to carry weights.

As a Scout, Lu Mei’s abilities were largely focused on perception and she actually did not have excellent combat abilities.

If she had any advantages, it was that the Rotating Swallow has achieved Small Achievement of Rainbow Light, while the Silver Man-eating Flower was at the Rainbow Light Void Extraction stage, no matter how you looked at it, she had more vitality.

"First off, try to take down the enemy in the way you usually fight."

"Yes!"

Lu Mei steadied herself, calling out loudly:

"Flying Swallow! Spiral Dance!"

"Caw, caw!"

The Rotating Swallow responded with a cry, activating its strongest skill, and darted towards the root stem of the Silver Man-eating Flower.

After several back and forth clashes, it successfully severed the opponent’s root stem.

However, just like Zhuang Wenyao had said, the severing of the root stem merely weakened a bit of its vitality, it was still too early to talk about defeating the Silver Man-eating Flower.

"Song, what do you think?"

Behind the Sonic Wall, Elder Xu, with a cheshire grin, suddenly asked the dark-skinned man.

"Me?"

Song Qiuming furrowed his brows, pondered for a while, then uncertainly said:

"I’ve never encountered the Silver Man-eating Flower before, I know very little about this species."

"If we’re talking about weaknesses... setting it on fire would be the simplest."

"But if there are not conditions to set a fire, I can’t think of a better method to secure victory without any consumption at present."
