Virus King - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Slaying the Tyrant! The Celebrities of Jiangcheng University!

TL: Yang

Chen Bai!

It was Chen Bai!

That face, wrapped in a dark green high-collared coat, was just two meters away from them!

The only difference was that they were inside the window, while that figure was outside it—and, most disturbingly, that figure stood at a bizarre angle, right outside the window.

Yet even so, they could clearly make out that flawless, impeccable profile!

That profile, which they had once envied and scorned, now appeared wholly unfamiliar.

Chen Bai paid them no mind; in his line of sight at this moment, there was only the Tyrant suspended in mid-air.

His figure shot forward, his feet landing precisely on the body descending slowly from the air!

The Plague Boots stomped down on the Tyrant’s face. With explosive speed, Chen Bai locked the Tyrant in place, leaving it flailing in mid-air, unable to leverage any foothold.

Its massive, dark arm-claws clawed desperately toward the human standing on top of it!

But a violent coughing fit left it completely drained of strength!

Like a deadweight, Chen Bai stomped down on the Tyrant’s body from a height of over ten stories, smashing downward!

Boom!

The sound was even louder than before!

The shockwave that erupted scattered nearby zombies once again!

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

Chen Bai lifted his feet in the Plague Boots, twisting his ankles.

A crisp crackling sound released clinging blood, flesh mush, and fragments of white bone that fell to the ground.

Standing atop the Tyrant’s body, he had dropped from a height of over ten stories.

Aside from gravity, this had been Chen Bai’s terrifying strike!

Even though the Tyrant’s constitution was quite strong, it still had no chance to counterattack!

A deep cavity in its chest, the broken neck, and its head smashed into the ground—like a “Reverse Lotus Drop”—left a vivid blossom of dark blood, flesh, and bone fragments splattered across the street!

And Chen Bai was the only life within that “flower.”

[Slain: Evolved Virus Elite “Tyrant”! Experience gained: 2000 points!]

The Tyrant’s experience wasn’t much, but it wasn’t insignificant either.

But Chen Bai’s objective had nothing to do with experience points!

For him, levels and experience were the least of his concerns.

Ignoring the items that had dropped, his gaze fixed on the Tyrant’s massive arm-claws!

One of the required materials for Biochemical Disaster was precisely this item!

With a swift move, he hacked off the massive claws, tossing them into the Evolver’s storage. Then, he extended his hand, and a black and red mycelium carpet quickly enveloped the mutated Tyrant!

Every viral strain of the Darklight Virus within him seemed to scream and yearn with the utmost excitement!

A powerful biochemical mutant like this was crucial for the Darklight Virus to extract evolution points.

And indeed, this was true!

Because, in the next moment, the Darklight Virus gave him a pure, primal response!

[Devoured a special mutated complex, gaining exclusive Darklight Virus evolution points: 8 points!]

[Darklight Virus devoured a special mutant, reducing the evolution point cost for specific branch enhancements!]

The two notifications let Chen Bai feel the gradual strengthening brought about by the Darklight Virus’s improvements.

But he couldn’t help but glance at the evolution points needed to progress in the Darklight Virus; there had been no change!

It still required a full 11 evolution points.

Shaking his head, Chen Bai then picked up the only item that had dropped.

[Claw Gauntlet (E-Rank)]

[Weapon—Claw-type Gauntlet]

[Agility +6, Strength +6]

[Indestructible: Enhances armor-piercing capability of claws!]

[Equipment Requirement: Level 5]

[PS: You are… Wolverine!]

This gauntlet!?

After a quick glance, Chen Bai lost interest; compared to his Zombie Claws, this item required a much higher level despite being the same grade.

“These attributes are trash.”

Of course, that wasn’t to say the Claw Gauntlet was weak—it was simply that Zombie Claws, being equipment produced through blueprint crafting, were far superior.

But even if Chen Bai were to give someone the Zombie Claws, they wouldn’t be able to equip them.

The frightening attribute requirements of that gear were something an ordinary person simply couldn’t meet!

But, speaking of which, the greatest reward from this battle wasn’t just these items—there was something far more crucial.

Chen Bai now had a deeper understanding of the effects of that “Influenza.” Although he had absolute confidence in his strength and could have slain the Tyrant without the Influenza’s aid, its effects were undeniable!

It seemed that he could no longer casually underestimate these abilities!

The Darklight Virus was merely a branch of the SSS-tier talent, Virus Sovereign.

Who knew what effects awaited in the legendary viruses that were still waiting to be unlocked?

…

Thinking of this, Chen Bai felt a twinge of excitement. He had gathered quite a few general evolution points down in that old sewer but hadn’t decided how to use them yet.

But here wasn’t exactly the ideal place to sit down and study, was it?

Just as Chen Bai straightened up, a voice finally sounded from above!

“Little Bai!”

Little Bai.

After his rebirth, only a certain few were allowed to call him that.

Chen Bai looked up, and sure enough, the window above was open, and a few figures were waving eagerly. Who else could it be but his two roommates?

Zhao Mu, Lin Qizheng!?

Chen Bai’s eyebrows raised slightly.

He didn’t feel much sentiment about his dorm-mates, but these two were decent people.

Since he saw them now, there was no reason to pretend he didn’t know them!

Remembering the earlier scene, he glanced at the footprints on the wall.

Seeing no need to hide anything further, Chen Bai shot upward again, the red mycelium carpet on his hands and feet letting him travel quickly along the wall.

Everyone watched, wide-eyed, as the building that had kept them trapped for days became a mere few seconds’ climb for Chen Bai, who leaped from the window in one swift motion!

Chen Bai scanned the room; indeed, he recognized many faces.

In Jiangcheng University, most of the prominent figures weren’t back on campus; instead, they were all gathered here in this small hotel.
