(Five Chapters, ten thousand words updated today!)

...

In the audience stands, everyone stared at the giant mushroom, their eyes wide with utter astonishment.

"Holy crap?! He blocked it?!"

"What’s going on? Is the system bugged? Or am I seeing things?"

"That’s Mu Chen! A Fourth-Grade Early Stage! That spear strike just now might have looked casual, but the Qi Blood Power behind it could have instantly killed a Peak of Third-Grade Martial Artist like it was child’s play, right?!"

"Forget the Peak of Third-Grade! Even a Martial Artist at the Second Transformation of the Melting Furnace Realm would be severely injured taking that hit head-on! Only a powerhouse at the Third Transformation could have barely blocked it!"

"This has to be fake! This mushroom is Third-Grade Late Stage? The system must have mislabeled its rank! It’s definitely a Fourth-Grade Demon Beast!"

For a moment, the entire spectator section erupted in discussion. Everyone was dumbfounded by the absurd scene before them.

Mu Linyuan’s eyes widened in shock.

’What the hell?’

’He knew better than anyone how terrifying his big brother’s last spear strike was. If it were him up there, he’d probably have been run through in an instant!’

’This mushroom... What in the world is it?!’

Beside him, Han Yue’s eyes also filled with deep surprise.

’She had originally thought this would be a pointless farce with a foregone conclusion, but now... things seemed to be getting a little interesting.’

’Could it be that this Contracted Beast’s true form in reality is a top-tier Demon Beast known for its Defense Power?’

’Something like a Black Tortoise with a King-level Bloodline? Or a Vajra Giant Rhinoceros?’

’Did its master intentionally shape it into this bizarre form just to make its opponent lower their guard, catching them by surprise at a critical moment?’

Just then, lights flashed repeatedly in the arena’s spectator stands as a large new wave of audience members poured in.

"Hurry, hurry! This is the room! I heard the genius from Jing University, Mu Chen, got matched with a big pink mushroom!"

"Holy shit! It’s real! HAHAHAHA! This design is just too surreal!"

"I heard the officials sanctioned this mushroom. It’s not allowed to surrender and has to fight to the end! This is gonna be fun to watch!"

It turned out that the sensational news, "Jing University Genius Matched with a Surreal Giant Mushroom," had already spread across the game’s various public channels!

Countless idle players, all looking for some entertainment, had flocked to see the spectacle.

Among them were even the heavily armored brute and the light-armored girl who had been scared off, the first opponents Chu Sheng had matched with.

The two of them had also heard the news and made a special trip to enjoy the show.

When they saw the big pink mushroom still bouncing up and down in the arena, schadenfreude spread across both of their faces.

’Hmph! Disgusting thing!’

’It’s finally met its match, hasn’t it?’

’They were here to witness with their own eyes just how this dick-shaped thing would get utterly destroyed!’

...

Listening to the ever-louder discussions around him, Mu Chen’s face turned as black as the bottom of a wok.

’It’s over.’

’Now I’ve been humiliated in front of the entire server.’

’He didn’t even dare to imagine what the school forums would look like after he logged off!’

’No! I have to end this damn fight! Right now! Immediately!’

He was getting desperate. The Qi Blood in his body erupted without reservation!

BZZZZ—!

A sharp, peerless Spear Intent, seemingly powerful enough to pierce the heavens, shot up from his body and instantly enveloped the entire arena!

Great Success Spear Intent!

"Ooh! He’s getting desperate! He’s desperate!"

"He’s even using his Spear Intent! He’s getting serious now!"

"Hahaha! Now this is a good show! That mushroom’s about to be blown to bits!"

"666, isn’t this freaking awesome?!"

The atmosphere in the stands ignited in an instant. Everyone cheered, ready to enjoy the show.

It was as if they could already see the pink mushroom being instantly impaled and blown apart by the spear in the next second!

"Die!!!"

Mu Chen let out a furious roar as the Qi Blood in his body circulated wildly without restraint.

He seemed to merge with the spear in his hand, transforming into a silver bolt of lightning that tore through the sky, stabbing fiercely toward Chu Sheng!

This spear strike concentrated all his focus, energy, and Spirit, along with his towering rage!

It was the most powerful strike he had unleashed since reaching Fourth-Grade!

Watching the earth-shattering spear strike, Chu Sheng’s heart tightened.

’I can’t take this one head-on!’

’Are you kidding? A full-power attack empowered by Great Success Spear Intent, and it’s even stacked with Blood Fury.’

’If I transferred this damage, a third of my sixteen thousand little brothers would probably die on the spot, right?’

’The losses would be too great! I can’t afford it!’

Just as the silver spear light was about to hit, the corners of Chu Sheng’s mouth curved up slightly. With a single thought...

The next second, he switched directly to his [Primitive Form]!

The pink mushroom, a full eighteen centimeters long, suddenly began to shrink rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, it went from a robust "giant" to a "Golden Needle Mushroom" less than a centimeter long!

PFFT!

Mu Chen’s world-destroying spear strike pierced right through the spot where Chu Sheng had been, stabbing fiercely into the hard ground and leaving behind a bottomless hole.

Mu Chen: "???"

The audience: "???"

Th-th-this...

It can get bigger and smaller?!

What kind of ability is this?!

However, before they could recover from this sudden turn of events...

A scene that made their scalps tingle and their worldviews collapse occurred!

The shrunken "Golden Needle Mushroom" smugly wiggled its cap.

’Come! Feel despair!’

’The Insect Race Cataclysm... descends!’

The next second!

With it at the center, countless specks of teleportation light appeared out of thin air, scattering across the entire arena like a sky full of stars!

The light faded.

Tens of thousands of...

...small, pink mushrooms of varying lengths and shapes shot up into the air!

Chu Sheng: "...?"

Mu Chen: "???"

Everyone in the audience: "???"

In that instant, the entire arena fell deathly silent.

Everyone was frozen as if hit by an Immobilization Technique, standing dumbstruck with their mouths agape and eyes wide as saucers.

What were they seeing?

Tens of thousands...

Tens of thousands of small pink mushrooms, all of different shapes, but all... all of an extremely indescribable appearance, had materialized from nowhere like a tidal wave, swarming to cover the sky and land!

That scene...

It was practically a visual nuclear explosion!

Everyone’s brains completely crashed. Their cerebellums were about to shrivel up from this heaven-defying spectacle!

"Ah... Ah..."

Mu Chen stood there dumbly. As he watched the "sea of mushrooms" surging toward him, the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably, his expression rapidly shifting from initial shock to sheer terror!

"Wh-what the fuck is this stuff?!"

"What kind of Demon Beast is this?!"

"How could it summon so many minions?!"

"And why are even its minions this shape?!"

"Spiritual Contamination! This is pure, unadulterated Spiritual Contamination! Aaaahhhh!!!"
