"I've waited so long, it's finally time to feast."

"You are the most delicious prey I have encountered so far."

"I will savor you slowly."

Pei Junxi smiled sinisterly.

Lin Yi remained silent, only frowning as he stared intently at Pei Junxi.

"You... don't belong to any profession category."

"What exactly are you?"

Under the Eye of Omniscience, the first information to pop up would invariably be the "profession" of the professional.

So far, although there have been ten thousand types of special professions and hidden professions on Blue Star.

They can all be categorized into certain major profession categories.

Warrior, Mage, Priest, Assassin, Archer, Gunner, Fighter, Knight.

These eight major categories comprise all the battle professions on Blue Star today.

The unique Daoist profession of Xia.

Is considered a combination of the Warrior and Mage professions.

The unique Ninja of East Japan is also a combination of the Assassin and Fighter categories.

But at this moment, Lin Yi could not see any traits of a battle profession on Pei Junxi.

"Living profession?"

After a brief gaze, Lin Yi finally saw the truth Pei Junxi had carefully hidden.

Living profession - Pharmacist.

This is Pei Junxi's true profession.

But the profession he currently displays is completely unrelated.

Pei Junxi's expression changed dramatically.

It seemed that the truth Lin Yi spoke touched upon his past pain.

"You've said too much."

"Shut up!"

The pre-match conversation between the two made it impossible for Ah Liang to get a word in.

Furthermore, this battle was one of the eagerly anticipated pinnacle clashes, so pre-match interviews to hype things up were unnecessary.

Ah Liang gave the judges a look.

Once all the pre-match procedures were confirmed.

Quickly, a countdown appeared on the big screen.

Pei Junxi just stared sullenly at Lin Yi, without using any skills.

Lin Yi did the same.

The countdown ended.

Pei Junxi did not move, but large amounts of black-red pus seeped out from his body, and the skin and fascia on the surface began to dissolve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Pools of black water flowed down and then seeped under the stage.

Boom boom boom...!

The life support devices on the stage were blown apart like firecrackers by him.

"Kids playing house games, it's over now."

"Every time I watch these battles from below, where no one dies, it makes me feel sick like I'm watching a children's cartoon..."

Lin Yi nodded.

"I have no objections."

He also agreed with Pei Junxi's view.

It's not exciting to fight when no one's dying.

So, before, he went all out against those from Curry Country.

Watching the two exchange words on stage.

The event committee inwardly cursed a thousand times over.

You may have no objections.

But I sure as hell do!

But I can't say anything now!

Lin Yi waited for a while.

And didn't see Pei Junxi attack proactively.

To fully analyze all of his information with the Eye of Omniscience also required time.

Well, let's probe then.

Tens of thousands of fireballs suddenly appeared, all hurling towards Pei Junxi.

The temperature of the entire stage skyrocketed instantly.

But just at the moment when countless fireballs hit Pei Junxi, Lin Yi's pupils contracted.

Pfft pfft pfft...!

Like a heavy hammer smashing onto flesh, generating countless dull sounds.

Pei Junxi shattered again.

This time, it was even more thorough than when Ding Yue's shot hit.

Blood, flesh paste, and pus splattered everywhere.

The entire stage was stained red.

In front of Lin Yi, an analysis revealed a characteristic.

[Immortal Plague]

[Type: Symbiotic Organism]

[Feature: When taking damage, additionally suffer 9 times the damage, and self-split according to the damage value.]

Symbiotic Organism?

What on earth is this?

Previously, Lin Yi thought the Immortal Plague should be Pei Junxi's battle pet.

But now it seems he was too superficial.

This unknown plague's relationship with Pei Junxi is not a simple master-servant relation.

But a symbiotic relationship.

Somewhat like "Venom."

This feature makes one directly bear 10 times the damage.

Such a negative vulnerability state is indeed over the top.

But obviously, the "self-split" at the end is the true intention of this feature.

What puzzled Lin Yi even more wasn't this trait.

But the effect that was generated when those countless fireballs hit Pei Junxi just now.

Fire Skills injure through their high temperatures.

Scorching and broiling the target is the effect Fire Skills produce.

But who has ever seen countless fireballs hit someone and make them shatter like being hit by countless cannonballs?

Lin Yi recalled the situation just now.

He soon discovered the clue.

His control over fire elements is second only to War God-level Mage professionals.

Just a second before those fireballs hit Pei Junxi.

It seemed they lost their temperature.

But at the same time, their speed exploded by countless times.

It's as if the inherent "thermal energy" of the fireballs was, at that moment, converted into "kinetic energy."

This caused the current scenario.

The reason for this occurrence is that those fireballs, at the instant of approaching Pei Junxi.

Got "infected."

A fireball isn't a living being, so the idea of it getting infected by a virus sounds absurd.

But in this Catastrophe Era, the "Immortal Plague" seems actually capable of achieving this.

After infecting the fireballs, their physical properties changed astonishingly.

Energy wasn't lost but transformed into a different form.

[Feature 2: Energy Absorption]

Even without Lin Yi scrutinizing Pei Junxi.

The Eye of Omniscience, after analyzing, also provided a confirmed result.

[Effect: The Immortal Plague can freely convert energy forms after infecting substances with energy.]

[After a brief interval, it can transform the object's energy into bioenergy and absorb it.]

This effect is somewhat exaggerated.

Altering physical properties and ultimately absorbing energy.

No wonder Ding Yue lost so inexplicably previously.

His shot was essentially aiding Pei Junxi in completing the "self-split" step.

But now, it's almost the same with me.

Those tens of thousands of fireballs essentially equated to a siege cannon shot in the end.

Just as Lin Yi was gradually uncovering Pei Junxi's reality.

Suddenly, he felt something give way beneath his feet.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt his vision blur, and a dizzy sensation quickly followed.

His status bar suddenly filled with a dozen abnormal states.

He had been infected as well!

From the moment Pei Junxi split, Lin Yi had deliberately stopped breathing.

However, he didn't expect that the blood and pus Pei Junxi previously released seeped underground.

Not only was it sabotaging the life support array.

But it was also infecting the entire stage.

Turning it into a part of his symbiotic organism.

And he disguised his actions very well.

Only at the last moment did he infect and transform the place where Lin Yi stood.

Next moment, the entire stage began to writhe like a mass of flesh.

Countless petrified flesh, pus, twisting and splicing together.

A massive flesh monster rose from the ground.

The monster's head protruded, revealing Pei Junxi's menacing giant eye.

On its body, countless mouths lined with sharp teeth opened wide.

"Kneel!"

"Bow down to the ultimate form of [Evolution]!"
