Heroes' Prison

Chapter 715 - 684 The First Person to Make the Second Transformation

Huang Yi did meet the second condition, as he could transform into the Half-Beastman form. However, his Strength Value was too low. In the past, even by using all kinds of methods, including triggering Colossal Beast Transformation and doubling All Attributes, he still could not open the storage ring.

The contents of this mysterious ring had always remained a conundrum, with no inkling as to what might be inside. Yet, with Man Tian being a Celestial Realm Expert and one of the elites of the Half-Beast Holy Land, the treasures inside must be substantial.

Now, after Huang Yi’s second transformation, his Strength Value had surpassed more than twice that of before the first transformation, allowing him to try opening the ring once more.

He took a deep breath and immediately morphed into the Half-Beastman form, attempting to unlock the storage ring.

"System Prompt: Your Strength Value does not meet the requirement, the seal cannot be removed!"

Huang Yi sighed inwardly, having hoped that after his second transformation and with soaring strength, he would be able to open the storage ring but was disappointed to fail again. The potency of the Half-Beast Holy Land’s seal was quite evident.

Resigned, Huang Yi had no choice but to put away the storage ring once more.

He reverted to his human form as the Beast King and immediately left the area, teleporting back to Northern Sea City.

The national war persisted, and he still had to fight alone!

...

In Northern Sea City, Huang Yi, using his Void State to remain hidden, watched the 185-level Guardian sitting cross-legged on the ground, resting with closed eyes, vigilantly guarding the area.

At that moment, Northern Sea City had become significantly livelier.

Players who had been afraid of being killed were logging on one after another, especially at the Teleport Plaza, which was crowded beyond measure. Countless people were teleporting from there to the Tower of Pantheons to grind levels and monsters.

"Thousand Faces, do you think Yang Yuheng is very unlucky?"

"Of course, he’s unlucky. So many times he was about to surpass the God of Slaughter and take the top spot on the leveling chart. However, each time he was vastly outpaced by the God of Slaughter at the last moment. They both were at level 150 that day, but now the God of Slaughter is at level 161, and Yang Yuheng is still at 150, no way he can catch up any time soon."

"I am not talking about that. I’m talking about the world record of the Tower of Pantheons. Yesterday, Yang Yuheng was the first to break the world record for the 140th floor. But then, the God of Slaughter went on and directly shattered the world record for the 160th floor, rendering Yang Yuheng’s record pale in comparison. I really wonder what method the God of Slaughter used since he broke the world record for the 160th floor even without changing his job."

"But now, he has been cornered by the Guardian and doesn’t dare to kill anyone anymore. He’s not invincible; after all, we are a Super-First-Class Guild, and we’ll eventually find ways to take him down."

The players at the Teleport Plaza discussed in pairs and groups, creating an atmosphere as casual and relaxed as day-to-day life.

With the appearance of the 195-level Guardian, they really didn’t need to worry about Huang Yi any longer.

Some reporters were scattered around every corner of Northern Sea City, live broadcasting the situation in Northern Sea City to forums and other parts of the real world.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as we can see, Northern Sea City is much more vibrant now and has pretty much returned to normal. With only the last three days left before the annual grand event, the national war between the God of Slaughter and Land of Dongying has reached a turning point."

"Just yesterday, the God of Slaughter strongly broke the world record for the 160th floor. He managed to set this record without even changing his job, truly shaking the world, his strength beyond imagination. But this momentum did not last long. As soon as the 195-level Guardian of Northern Sea City showed up, the God of Slaughter immediately fell into disadvantage and hasn’t shown his true form since. Earlier today, his incarnation caused a stir, but later, it was deterred by a 185-level Guardian, no longer daring to appear."

"We can almost certainly say that it’s tough for the God of Slaughter to maintain his previous unbeatable momentum. A 195-level Guardian is already one of the strongest under the Celestial Realm, and with the Martial Emperor surely providing him with S-grade Potions, and after the effects of various Potions, a 195-level Guardian could even match a Celestial Realm Expert."

"At this point, the only path left for the God of Slaughter is to break the Subsidiary Battle Flag of the Martial Arts Guild, which would remove the threat of the 195-level Guardian. But this is improbable, as the Subsidiary Battle Flag of the Martial Arts Guild is within the Magic Tower, heavily guarded. The God of Slaughter has already tried to attack the Magic Tower a few days ago, but his destructive pace couldn’t keep up with the repairs. He was unable to breach the Magic Tower, naturally also failing to break the Subsidiary Battle Flag."

"After all, the God of Slaughter is just a player over level 160. It’s already very impressive that he has lasted this long. He is not a true god, and falling here would not be a disgrace."

...

The real world.

On a beach in Hawaii, three men lay on hammocks, leisurely sipping coconut juice with a handheld Photon Brain beside them, transmitting the report from the reporters in Northern Sea City.

These three men were all famous figures in The Second World.

One of them was a bald European man with beautiful blue eyes.

He was the most famous super-first master in Europe, who had risen to prominence in the recent martial arts tournament. He had almost instantly become the number one fighter in the world, sweeping both the individual and team championships and earning the titles of Martial Emperor and Martial Saint. However, he was ultimately stopped by Huang Yi and Thunder God in the individual and team competitions and could not advance further. He was the strongest newcomer in The Second World last year and was also known as the early winner of the Best Newcomer Award—T.N.T.

The second man was an American in his 30s. He had a strong build with clear muscle definition and a handsome face with a light stubble, exuding the charm of a mature man. He was one of the most famous super-first masters in the United States, The Pope.

Recently, another super-first master from the United States named Kid died in a car accident, and his family was fighting for a resurrection surgery from Era of Corporation, causing Kid to temporarily fade from public view. As a result, The Pope’s influence among American players increased somewhat.

The third man was an Asian of the yellow race, wearing a white samurai outfit, none other than Miyamoto Musashi. Even in the real world, he always wore his samurai outfit to maintain consistency with The Second World.

If journalists were here at this moment, they would be overjoyed. These three super-first masters from different regions representing various powers had gathered together, a significant piece of news!

Listening to the reporting from the handheld photon brain, Miyamoto Musashi’s mouth finally revealed a hint of a smile. After summoning a level 195 Guardian, he had finally turned the tide.

"Oh! God, Miyamoto Musashi, you’ve finally stabilized the situation!" T.N.T looked at Miyamoto Musashi and said, "You’ve been losing face these days, being challenged by the God of Slaughter alone against an entire guild."

"If it were you, you’d also be challenged by him alone against an entire guild," Miyamoto Musashi’s mouth twitched slightly, and he spoke in a heavy tone.

"The God of Slaughter is indeed an exception!" The Pope nodded and said solemnly, "His current strength has far surpassed ours, reaching heights not even Dao Feng had achieved before. None of us three are his match. Therefore, the most important thing for our plan to proceed smoothly is to eliminate the God of Slaughter."

T.N.T looked at Miyamoto Musashi and smiled, "Miyamoto Musashi, you need to put in more effort! The success of the plan hinges on you!"

"Don’t worry!" Miyamoto Musashi took a deep gulp of coconut juice and said, "He will definitely die this time! I can’t wait to put our plan into action. The higher the God of Slaughter climbs, the harder his fall will be. Once he dies, it will be very difficult for him to reach his current heights again."

As The Pope stroked his stubble, he pondered and said, "The body of the God of Slaughter hasn’t appeared for a day. He’s likely hiding somewhere, biding his time, waiting for the start of the annual festival. The probability of him winning the Best Individual Award is now as high as T.N.T winning the Best Newcomer Award. If you can defeat him within these three days, it would be best as it would greatly increase our chances of winning awards. If not, we will have to wait until after the annual festival to kill him."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a grand and ancient voice suddenly came from a handheld photon brain nearby—

"[System Announcement]: [God of Slaughter]has become the first to complete the second job change, awarded 1000 Public Prestige, and achieved the [Unique Achievement]—[The First Person to Make the Second Transformation], China National Honor Value +1."

All three were momentarily stunned.

"I thought he was hiding, but he went to do a job change!" T.N.T exclaimed in surprise.

"The God of Slaughter is really impressive. Let’s go, back to Mesidon Hotel, that person is coming! Once he agrees to cooperate with us, our plan will be much easier to accomplish." The Pope said as he stood up and left immediately.

...

The moment Huang Yi teleported back to Northern Sea City, an announcement of his successful second transformation rang through the land, spreading to every corner of The Second World.

This was also one of his major performances in the national war, and the National Honor Points earned under War Mode had even more symbolic significance.

National Honor Points reflect the strength of a country, and each point permanently increases all attributes of that nation’s players by 1%. Of course, this enhancement only applies within the country’s mainland. Huang Yi could not enjoy this benefit yet.

This announcement also quickly caused the players at the Teleport Plaza to change their expressions; they had thought Huang Yi’s threat had been neutralized, but instead, it had only grown.

The journalists who were analyzing Huang Yi’s weakness had their reports abruptly cut off by the announcement! This national war still had uncertainties!

"Little Dragon, let’s continue killing!" Immediately after, Huang Yi summoned Little Dragon, mounted it, and patrolled the skies above Northern Sea City. Whenever he saw an enemy, he dove down and slaughtered ruthlessly.

The brief calm that had just prevailed in Northern Sea City was once again shattered, as a large number of players died at the hands of Huang Yi, turning into his battle merits and experience points.

The city was plunged into crisis once more, and players inside hurriedly logged off. The bustling Northern Sea City quickly became deserted due to Huang Yi’s reappearance.
