Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 467 - 464: Main Quest 2: Vindication

The number of higher-ranking officials coming to watch the battle was increasing.

"Principal Bosh is here too!"

Mr. Afre was somewhat nervous, even more so than Bai Pu. He grabbed Bai Pu’s wrist and whispered, "The principal is here to watch the battle too, do you have any confidence at all?"

"Not too bad." Bai Pu recalled Laine’s total attributes of 440 points, still feeling a bit pressured.

"Come on, you have to win!"

Mr. Afre seemed to make up his mind and added with determination, "If you can win this time... I have a strong fighting qi cultivation method, obtained from some ancient ruins, I can privately gift it to you!"

A prompt from the Spirit Realm Will came:

[Main Quest Step 2: Vindication]

[Objective: Defeat Laine and bring honor to the Garrison Academy]

[Difficulty: A~???]

[Deadline: 10 days]

[Reward: Garrison Academy Secret Collection Hall work-study qualification, a mysterious fighting qi cultivation method]

[Failure Penalty: Deduct 20,000 spiritual points.]

Main Quest Step 2 had finally been triggered.

Bai Pu discovered something interesting: the task of defeating Laine was originally Afre’s request, but Main Quest Step 2 hadn’t been triggered before.

Instead, it was only when the battle was about to start, with Principal Bosh Gajisen coming to watch, that Main Quest Step 2 was triggered!

Does this mean that whether the main quest is triggered is related not only to the strength of the World Waymark but also to the native’s level of urgency?

The more urgent the mood, the more likely it is to trigger the quest!

Bai Pu accepted this main quest.

Seeing that the penalty for Main Quest Step 2 was only the deduction of 20,000 spiritual points, lighter than the first main quest, Bai Pu was slightly surprised.

Could it be that the Spirit Realm Will judged the quest difficulty to be very high, hence offering such a lenient penalty?

There was no time for further consideration now, as Bai Pu stepped onto the stage.

Munis, acting as the referee, read the rules and then directly announced the start.

Bai Pu and Laine almost simultaneously activated their Fighting Qi Domains.

Blood River Territory vs. Blood Sea Shark Fighting Domain!

With the thunderous clash of two blood shadows, it was evident that Bai Pu’s Blood River Territory was somewhat struggling. Fortunately, his strengths were in both Power and Endurance, allowing him to stabilize with a dual judgment.

The Blood Sea Shark Fighting Domain had a priority level 1 point higher than the Blood River Territory.

However, when it came to effects, the Blood Sea Shark merely enhanced Laine’s own flexibility in executing moves, while the fighting qi simulated a swarm of sharks to launch surprise attacks from improbable angles.

It didn’t possess Tokesen’s "Blood Corpse Poison," which terrifyingly reduced all attributes of the opponent while adding high poison damage.

Thus, even if the priority of advanced fighting qi cultivation methods is the same, there are clear differences between them.

Another possibility is that Laine’s mastery of the Blood Sea Shark Fighting Qi wasn’t deep enough to develop more special effects.

Bai Pu’s thoughts flickered as he stepped forward, his great sword clashing fiercely with Laine’s one-handed axe.

Clang!

With a deafening explosion, Laine looked stunned as he was knocked backward!

"Goodness, it’s the first time I’ve seen Laine, this fierce beast, being pushed back by an opponent of the same age," said Amariel, clucking his tongue from the stands.

Seizing the advantage, Bai Pu didn’t give an inch, his nearly 180-point offensive power judgment making him a humanoid beast!

Using the slowdown from the Blood River Territory, Bai Pu closed in on Laine, a continuous stream of attacks flowing smoothly, forcing Laine to retreat step by step!

Of course, Laine’s resilience was strong, constantly evading and deflecting Bai Pu’s attacks as he retreated.

But just as Bai Pu’s sword was about to strike, Laine’s figure suddenly vanished.

Space-based Mystical Arts!

As Bai Pu exhausted his energy and was replenishing qi, Laine stepped out of space, appearing behind Bai Pu.

His right hand twisted the war axe, with the Blood Sea Illusion surging in reverse waves, a school of sharks rushing out to attack Bai Pu’s back.

This was the Blood Sea Shark Fighting Qi’s additional Mystical Arts skill—Reverse Wave Shark!

[Reverse Wave Shark: Fighting qi energy transforms into a school of sharks swimming in the blood sea to chase down the first target struck, inflicting moderate sharp damage and a 10-second fighting qi disruption effect. The school of sharks will continue to swim for 10 seconds, tracking targets per the user’s will.]

Bai Pu dodged to the side, swinging his sword with Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, shattering the Reverse Wave Shark bit by bit.

Now Bai Pu’s Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts hadn’t reached mastery; this mystical art attached to a basic attack could only be considered an "enhanced basic attack," which was somewhat at a disadvantage when dealing with the Reverse Wave Shark mystical art.

Fortunately, the power of the Reverse Wave Shark mystical art diminished with increased distance. Bai Pu’s close-range slash unleashed the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts to maximum effect, finally shattering the Reverse Wave Shark.

The great sword shattered the Reverse Wave Shark due to a deflect judgment, converting sharp damage into only 10% reflective blunt impact. However, the "fighting qi disruption" effect from this mystical art skill infiltrated Bai Pu’s wrist, surging backwards, causing a slight blockage in Bai Pu’s fighting qi circulation.

This manifested as a brief stiffness in his movements.

Seizing the opportunity, Laine counterattacked, striking with his palm, and as the Blood Sea Illusion conjured a breathtaking phantom wave, it swept towards Bai Pu. Simultaneously, Laine flicked his right hand, sending the war axe transforming into a ferocious giant shark, lurking in the Blood Sea Illusion as it surged towards Bai Pu.

Mystical art skill—Hidden Current Giant Shark!

Laine’s combat intelligence was high; he knew he couldn’t win in physical strength against Bai Pu, so he took advantage of any gaps to instantly play to his strengths, attempting to overwhelm Bai Pu with purer advanced fighting qi and the Blood Sea Shark’s mystical arts skill set.

Boom!

Bai Pu’s left hand summoned the Dark Gold Tower Shield.

The Hidden Current Giant Shark crashed into the tower shield. Amidst repeated explosive sounds, Bai Pu’s figure stood unwavering.

"Such a terrifyingly strong body... Considering he only trained in basic fighting qi, I really wonder how he developed a physique comparable to an advanced fierce beast."

Laine reached for the one-handed axe. After a series of aggressive attacks, his fighting qi had also been significantly depleted.

"Now it’s my turn!"

Bai Pu’s aura changed abruptly as he activated genetic fusion! He strode towards Laine, resembling a mountain pressing straight at him.

Laine’s attacks were all blocked by the tower shield.

And each time Laine left an opening, Bai Pu’s great sword would seize the opportunity for a sudden strike. Unlike Tokesen, Laine lacked such powerful combat techniques and mystical arts levels to catch and neutralize the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts barehanded, being caught off guard during every assault, sometimes even sustaining wounds.

Having been grazed by the great sword four times, Laine now sported four shallow wounds.

In contrast, Bai Pu didn’t even have a scratch.

"This can’t go on. Fu Lei, let me show you the ancient power I’ve obtained."

Laine raised his one-handed axe high, an unsettling ancient aura spreading, the axe faintly transforming into a huge dragon head roaring towards the sky!
