Chapter 282: Trifolium's Near-Abnormal Strength! Biologist's First Battle! (Part 2)

Many cultivators were watching.

Some were alone, while others were in groups of two or three.

The Beast Control Sect's current passivity was written all over their faces, and everyone could see it clearly.

"This time, the Beast Control Sect is truly in trouble."

"What a pity, such a large sect like the Beast Control Sect will likely face annihilation today."

"The Beast Control Sect's strength relies heavily on their spirit beasts, about sixty to eighty percent. Without their spirit beasts, it's like cutting off both arms. If they fight the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect... Sigh."

"How sad, how lamentable."

"Don't cry over someone else's coffin, think carefully, which sect doesn't have spirit beasts? Who doesn't have powerful spirit beasts or even a sect-protecting spirit beast? It's not just the Beast Control Sect; we will also be affected!"

"Indeed.

"The Ten Thousand Toxins Sect..."

"They're truly a thorn in our side."

"And what's worse, they're incredibly powerful."

"Look, they're making their move!"

"..."

...

Boom! The members of the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect had already begun their attack! Confirming that the Beast Control Sect members were hiding and that their Clan Defense Array could withstand the toxin invasion, they didn't immediately release their toxins.

Instead, numerous Eighth Realm cultivators formed a formation, maximizing their strength, and bombarded the Beast Control Sect's Clan Defense Array! Their goal was to shatter the formation and then flood the area with various toxins, followed by close-quarters combat.

Only the Holy Son, Night Wu Shang, and the Sect Leader, Yu Suxin, had not taken action.

The two stood at the back, seemingly plotting something.

The formation was shaking.

It was rumbling, but it hadn't collapsed.

After all, it was a top-tier sect's Clan Defense Array, which had consumed a significant amount of resources and had been modified and maintained countless times. It was impossible to break through it in a short period.

However, the Beast Control Sect members didn't show any signs of relief.

Everyone knew that the Clan Defense Array could hold out for a while.

But...

Breaking the stalemate was the real challenge.

"Sect Leader."

"Shouldn't we..."

The Beast Control Sect members all looked at Qu Feisi, and they were all anxious.

Their Beastmaster skills were rendered useless, and if it came down to a direct fight, they were no match for the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect!

"Don't panic, don't panic!"

Qu Feisi spoke, unsure if he was calming others or himself.

Nevertheless, as the leader of a sect, Qu Feisi had to remain composed.

"Fifth Elder, you and your team keep a close eye on the Clan Defense Array and maintain its operation."

"Old Six, contact other sects and see if we can get some reinforcements."

"Second Elder."

"Make the worst-case preparations and gather our sect's Heavenly Prodigies. If things become impossible..."

"You know what to do better than I do."

"Ninth Elder, take some people and try to neutralize the strange toxins or find a way to make our Spirit Beasts immune to them."

"As for me..."

Qu Feisi took a deep breath, composed himself, and continued giving instructions: "All other Seventh Realm and above disciples, elders, and clerks, follow my lead!"

"Our current strategy is not to defeat or drive them back but to buy us time."

"As long as we can delay them long enough..."

"A turnaround is possible!"

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

The crowd responded and set out to carry out their orders.

However, their hearts grew heavier.

It seemed like there was a lot to do, but...

How effective would it be?

Qu Feisi sighed inwardly, then quickly regained his composure and led the crowd in a counterattack within the formation.

Various secret techniques and Immortal Techniques were unleashed, attacking the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect's 'position' from a distance.

Hum! However, near the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect's position, a formation also lit up, though not as sturdy and powerful as the Clan Defense Array. Still, it wouldn't be easily broken through in a short time.

The Ten Thousand Toxins Sect members were also intercepting the Beast Control Sect's attacks.

For a moment, the sky above was filled with 'splashing fire'.

All sorts of magic, various Dao laws, and chaotic attacks were unleashed.

...

"The Beast Control Sect can't hold back any longer!"

"That's only natural; they can't just sit and wait for their demise."

"Are they relying on the defensive capabilities of their Clan Defense Array for a long-range counterattack? It's a conventional strategy, though 'old-fashioned', it's the most stable and effective."

"Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect was prepared and had set up a formation in that area, making it difficult for the Beast Control Sect."

The onlookers in the shadows discussed in hushed tones.

"Why...?"

"This is clearly the Beast Control Sect's stronghold, but I feel like their counterattack is weaker than the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect's."

"I also feel that way. It's strange that the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect only has Eighth Realm and above cultivators attacking, while the Beast Control Sect is even counting on Seventh Realm cultivators. Moreover, the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect has some Eighth Realm cultivators guarding their home..."

"How is this possible?"

"Nonsense!"

Someone was speechless: "Don't you know that the Beast Control Sect's Beastmaster skills are useless against the Ten Thousand Toxins Sect? Even the techniques they cultivate are mostly meant to be used in coordination with Spirit Beasts, which can increase their power several times. But if they're on their own..."

"They're as good as useless."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Beast Control Sect is so passive and trapped within their sect?"

Those who didn't know the situation were shocked.

Is that so?

...

"Wu Shang."

Watching the Beast Control Sect's seemingly 'weak' counterattack, Yu Suxin smiled: "You will have the greatest credit for this battle."

"In the future, the position of Sect Master will be yours."

"And not just that."

"After annihilating the Beast Control Sect and inheriting their legacy, our sect can become a Super Top Sect. At that time..."

"Your status will also rise."

"It's all thanks to your cultivation." Night Wu Shang also smiled.

His smile was exceptionally bright.

He felt content.

The Beast Control Sect...

Was nothing to worry about.

As for the position of Sect Master, it should be mine!

"..."

...

"Phew..."

In the distance, He Anxia quietly emerged, watching the stalemate between the two sects, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Good thing I made it in time."

"But..."

"I'm not sure if I can succeed."

"But since Elder Lin told me this, there must be a deeper meaning to it!"

"Let's give it a try!"

He spread his hands, and invisible bacteria began to spread with the wind, unseen to others.

But...

It was only invisible to others; to He Anxia, it was crystal clear.

"Go."

Countless bacteria, invisible and colorless, drifted with the wind, quickly reaching the Beast Control Sect's area.

At the same time, He Anxia also saw.

"Those existences even smaller than bacteria!"

"What are they?"

"Huh?"

"What is that?"

Countless tiny particles floated and scattered everywhere, each connected by a unique form of spiritual energy, forming a peculiar whole.

"Smaller than bacteria, and by such a huge margin?"

"Then..."

"What if we let the bacteria consume these even smaller entities?"

He Anxia wanted to make the bacteria devour these 'viruses'. He was unaware that viruses and bacteria were fundamentally different, and the concept of 'eating' didn't apply to their relationship.

On the contrary, viruses often 'parasitized' within 'bacteria', relying on them for survival.

But at this moment...

He didn't have time to delve into those details!

Perhaps bacteria without a host wouldn't eat viruses, but my bacteria, they have a master! I can control them.

I command them to eat, and they shall devour!

"Huff..."

"Begin!"

A mere thought was all it took.

The vast number of bacteria He Anxia had cultivated and bred during this time immediately started to 'devour'.

Devouring frantically!

The size difference was evident, especially since the bacteria He Anxia had cultivated were growing even larger, creating a significant disparity with the viruses.

Each bacterium could consume a substantial amount of viruses.

"Devour them all!"

"Swallow them all together!"

Bacteria devouring viruses! This scene, seemingly out of place in the world of cultivation, unfolded before He Anxia's eyes.

Soon, however, he discovered that his bacterial army couldn't 'digest' the viruses.

Instead, the ingested viruses 'parasitized' the bacteria, forming strange hybrid entities.

Outwardly, the bacteria showed no changes, but in reality, most of them underwent peculiar transformations that He Anxia couldn't quite comprehend at the moment.

Nevertheless...

At least these bacteria remained obedient.

And they could continue devouring.

That was enough.

"Continue!"

Strange transformations?

He could explore and ponder them later!

For now, his primary task was to devour as many of these tiny entities as possible, for only then could the Beast Control Sect's crisis be easily averted!

"Huh?!"

At the same time, Night Wu Shang sensed something amiss.

"The concentration of my toxins is decreasing?!"

In truth...

He didn't understand how his 'strange toxins' were produced.

He only knew that his 'Essence Energy' was somewhat special.

After undergoing unique processes, it could transform into these toxins that were particularly effective against beasts and seemingly invincible.

But...

Even without understanding the underlying principles, he could feel his 'spread' of Essence Energy rapidly diminishing.

The reduction in Essence Energy directly correlated with the decrease in toxin concentration!

"How could this be?"

Yu Suxin furrowed her brows, "Could it be that the Beast Control Sect has found a way to counteract it?"

If that was the case...

She would be in trouble.

She'd have to act immediately!

"I'm not sure either, disciple."

Night Wu Shang's expression darkened, "There might be some special circumstances, but don't panic. The concentration has only decreased, not disappeared. I can still fight!"

He raised his hands again, releasing a large amount of 'strange toxins' from his sleeves.

"..."

"Night Wu Shang."

He Anxia's brows knitted slightly.

Night Wu Shang himself didn't understand what was happening.

But He Anxia had a clear idea.

"This guy is the root of it all."

"Although my bacteria can be continuously bred, a portion of them that have devoured too much already show signs of death, and another group looks very abnormal. I'm unsure what other changes will occur."

"However..."

"A very small number of them seem to have become even more 'vigorous'."

"Is it because of the bacteria type?"

"No, that's not it. Some of the bacteria are clearly of the same kind, but the results after devouring these 'little things' are entirely different."

"Individual variations?"

"Or... some other factors I'm unaware of?"

"But if the bacteria that devoured the 'little things' remain vigorous and even become stronger, the effect should be even better, right?"

He didn't understand genetics, mutations, and other related theories.

But...

Experience was the best teacher!

He decided to take action.

Soon, he discovered that by cultivating and replicating these bacteria, he could obtain a group of 'super bacteria' capable of frenzied devouring and becoming 'stronger the more they ate'!

These super bacteria might not be inherently stronger or more aggressive than other bacteria.

But their resistance and aggression against these 'little things' were significantly enhanced, and they could even feed on them!

"Impressive."

"Too impressive."

"Biologist..."

He Anxia's eyes gleamed, "I've only just stepped into the path of a biologist, and I've already achieved this much. If I delve deeper..."

"!!!"

He now felt an urgent desire to take Lin Fan as his master.

If he could become a direct disciple of Lin Fan, the Sect Leader, he might learn the complete art of a biologist, right?

For instance...

Humans are also living beings, composed of various 'microorganisms'!

If he could control the microorganisms that make up the human body...

"!!!"

"Don't rush, don't rush."

He patted his face to calm himself, "First, let's remain calm. The primary goal is to resolve the current predicament."

"..."

Night Wu Shang and He Anxia.

One releasing toxins.

The other devouring.

The release of toxins was getting faster and faster.

The speed of devouring also increased as He Anxia gained a deeper understanding of the bacteria...

Moments later, they reached a bizarre equilibrium.

No matter how hard Night Wu Shang tried, he couldn't increase the 'concentration' any further.

He Anxia was unable to increase the speed of bacterial cultivation, and both sides gradually reached a stalemate.

"No, that's not right."

"Something's wrong!"

Night Wu Shang's face changed slightly, "Why is this happening?"

"While the concentration would usually decrease, unless I actively retrieve it, it would take at least a month of intense sunlight exposure to see such a change."

"But now..."

"...I have to exert all my strength just to maintain the basic concentration?"

"What is going on...?"

He couldn't sense it! He could only be certain that his Essence Energy was quietly disappearing.

And it was indeed very quiet.

He couldn't perceive the details or understand how it was disappearing.

But the Essence Energy he had spread out was quietly and silently vanishing.

Each time, only a tiny portion disappeared, making it difficult to notice.

But as the losses accumulated...

The speed was increasing, becoming faster and faster.

It couldn't be ignored.

"But how is it disappearing?"

"Why is this happening?!"

Night Wu Shang felt a bit numb.

"How?"

Yu Suxin frowned, "If there's a change, we need to change our strategy immediately!"

Night Wu Shang clenched his teeth, "No need to change."

"Trust me."

"I will!"

Yu Suxin looked at him deeply, "Good!"

"I don't believe it."

Night Wu Shang secretly seethed, "Give it my all!"

He started taking pills, increasing his output!

...

"Has it sped up further?"

He Anxia's brows furrowed tightly, "This is not good."

"If this continues, at most, I can maintain a weird balance. I can't do anything about this strange poison unless I deal with the source."

"Kill Night Wu Shang!"

"But with Yu Suxin by his side, it's incredibly difficult to succeed."

"I have to try a method I've never used before."

"To kill silently..."

"Nothing is more suitable than 'bacteria'."

"Then, let's give it a try."

"Huff!"

He Anxia took a deep breath and focused his mind. He began to 'operate'.

This was something he had never done before.

After all, he used to be a Beastmaster, a straightforward and honest person, with 70-80% of his strength invested in the spirit beasts he had painstakingly cultivated at great cost.

He had only been a Biologist for less than a month.

He had never even used a Biologist's methods in battle against others. This was his first time.

He was a bit nervous.

"But Night Wu Shang's poison is just a 'biological' entity smaller than bacteria, right? These things... should be considered biological, shouldn't they?"

"Since this thing can deceive the ears and eyes of my Master and the Sect Leader, leaving them helpless, then logically, my Biologist's methods should also be undetectable to the people of Ten Thousand Toxins Sect."

"But..."

"To deal with Night Wu Shang, this bastard, I don't know if it will work."

Just as he was now a Biologist, able to control and strengthen bacteria through cultivation.

If Night Wu Shang could control even smaller 'biological' entities, then it was possible that he could also detect bacteria.

But regardless, it was worth a try.

"Come..."

He Anxia's eyes lit up as he remotely controlled the bacteria to 'attack'! And he specifically chose the smaller bacteria to approach, fearing detection.

"Closer, even closer!"

The distance between the bacteria and Night Wu Shang was getting closer and closer. He Anxia controlled the bacteria not to devour the viruses but to keep getting closer and closer.

"This is strange..."

The viruses, under certain conditions, would actively 'drill' into the bacteria.

"Why is this happening?"

He Anxia didn't understand.

But he knew this wasn't the time to delve deeper.

As the dispersed army of bacteria drew closer to Night Wu Shang, He Anxia held his breath.

Night Wu Shang himself was a problem.

But his Master, Yu Suxin, was an even bigger problem!

If they discovered him, he would surely die without a burial.

"Success!"

Fortunately, He Anxia's worries did not become a reality.

The army of bacteria passed by Yu Suxin, and she remained unaware.

"But..."

"Why doesn't Night Wu Shang notice anything?"

"Interesting!"

He Anxia was excited! He had thought that Night Wu Shang, who could control even smaller entities, would surely notice this 'strange poison'. But reality proved to be so bizarre and unique.

"So, he doesn't even know what this 'strange poison' is himself!"

"Is it just a fluke?"

"That's true. Although these smaller 'biological' entities are also scary, they only have 'instinct' and are not as active or 'lively'. They don't seem to be controlled individually."

"In other words..."

"In this invisible confrontation, I won!"

"Although I haven't cultivated bacteria for long enough, the destructive power from within is still formidable."

Under his control, numerous bacteria quietly attached themselves to Night Wu Shang's body surface.

Even more entered his body through his respiratory system, his seven apertures, and even his pores.

They didn't attack immediately but kept infiltrating, infiltrating, infiltrating! After infiltrating, they started to 'pile up'! Each bacterium was weak, but when they gathered in sufficient numbers and began to erode from within...

"Now!"

He Anxia gave the command.

"Hmm?"

Night Wu Shang suddenly felt something odd with his nose.

He felt uncomfortable inside his body.

He gently rubbed his nose, and a smear of crimson appeared on his hand.

Night Wu Shang was bewildered.

"I..."

"Am I bleeding from my nose?"
