Chapter 718: Suppression Contract
However, the Crystal Python King did not realize that this brief cooldown time was the critical factor leading to its demise.
At present.
Ling Zhan had already flashed to the front of the Crystal Python King.
Raising his gaze to the blood-soaked maw of the Python King, his eyes were now dyed with a deep, eerie purple hue.
'Eye of Ten Thousand Demons'!
SS-tier innate talent!
Under this innate talent, inherited from the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, an overwhelmingly dominant force of control descended upon the area!
The Crystal Python King, which had been poised to bite Ling Zhan, suddenly felt its entire body forcibly frozen in place!
It could not move an inch!
"This…"
Feeling this tyrannical force of control, so absolute that even its staggering 3,000,000 strength couldn't break free, the Python King's snake eyes filled with terror!
Hmm…
Without pre-buffing himself, Ling Zhan's base stats wouldn't have been enough to restrain this level 155 Crystal Python King with the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons.
As mentioned earlier.
Only two factors influence the effects of skills and talents.
The first is the level of the talent or skill itself, which is the most direct factor.
The second is the caster's own level or, more accurately, their four-dimensional attributes, as leveling up directly boosts these attributes.
Combining these two factors determines the final outcome of talents and skills.
At present.
Although Ling Zhan's base four-dimensional attributes were only 250,000, one mustn't forget that Ling Zhan possessed an abundance of SS-tier minor skills.
Particularly, due to differences in classes, all sorts of class-specific buffs could stack on him simultaneously.
Currently, Ling Zhan's four-dimensional attributes had multiplied over tenfold, skyrocketing under the effect of numerous SS-tier buffs to a total of 3,500,000.
More than enough to suppress the Crystal Python King.
Furthermore…
Ling Zhan was now using his innate talent skill.
Innate talents are valued so highly precisely because their priority is the absolute highest.
For example.
An SS-tier Order skill versus an SS-tier innate talent.
If both parties have identical four-dimensional attributes, the SS-tier innate talent will always prevail.
Moreover, Ling Zhan's attributes already invisibly crushed those of the Python King.
As a result…
Unsurprisingly, under this terrifyingly oppressive control, the Crystal Python King also succumbed to the charm effect inherent to the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons.
At this moment.
The Python King's combat power plummeted to its lowest point.
Naturally, Ling Zhan would not waste this rare opportunity.
Raising his hand, and under the effect of his Staffless Casting talent…
Buzz!!
'Beast Control'!
This was one of Ling Zhan's oldest skills, one he hadn't used in a long time.
During the freshman trials at Tianyan Academy, Ling Zhan had utilized this entry-level Beast Tamer skill to tame beasts within the dungeon, having them guide him to the checkpoint exit effortlessly.
Now that this Beast Control skill had been upgraded to SS-tier, its effects were incredibly domineering!
Not just spirit beasts—even divine beasts could be enslaved under specific conditions.
At present.
This level 155 Tier 6 spirit beast was clearly in its weakest state, especially after falling under the charm effect of Ling Zhan's Eye of Ten Thousand Demons. This meant it would obey Ling Zhan's every word without question.
As the Beast Control skill took effect over the Crystal Python King…
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully contracted the Crystal Python King!]
Seeing the notification on his interface, Ling Zhan smiled faintly.
He immediately lifted the control and charm of the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons.
Regaining its awareness, the Crystal Python King felt the enslavement brand engraved on its soul and let out a horrified scream.
"Why was I tamed by you!? Damn human! What did you do!?"
Devastated!
Completely devastated!
Just moments ago, it was the free and unchallenged king of spirit beasts, the ruler of this domain. Now, it had become the enslaved pet of this human man!!
It was like a powerful CEO going bankrupt in an instant, forced to become a lackey for his subordinate—utterly unacceptable!
Despite its rage and agitation, the Crystal Python King found itself incapable of harboring killing intent or hostility toward the human before it, let alone attacking him.
Having become his beast pet, what pet dares to harm its master?
Especially under such a master-servant contract.
"I order you to start now—use your head to smash the magic array until I say stop!"
Facing the Crystal Python King, brimming with hatred but helpless, Ling Zhan calmly issued his command.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Despite its overwhelming reluctance, the enslavement contract forced the Python King to move its body and begin frantically smashing its head against the magic array.
However, the magic array, reinforced by Order, wasn't so easily broken.
Even if the Python King smashed into it for ten years, it might still remain intact. Such was the dominance of Order power.
Before long…
In less than two minutes, even the Python King, with its thick scales and durable body, had its head and scales cracked and bleeding from its full-force collisions.
Yet, despite this, it could only continue smashing into the magic array.
Its hatred for this human surged to unfathomable heights!
Clearly, the human could have simply dismantled the array himself, but he chose not to. Instead, he ordered the Python King to do it with its head!
Meanwhile, Avril, Adolphus, and Ansely were utterly dumbfounded!
What the heck was this!?
In just an instant…
He had successfully tamed a ferocious, bloodthirsty Crystal Python King!?
And this Python King was level 155!
Its four-dimensional attributes should have completely outclassed Ling Zhan's, right?
Yet he succeeded!
This…
The three exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing shock in the others' eyes.
"Ling Zhan, what kind of technique was that? How did you tame the Crystal Python King?" Avril couldn't hold back her question.
Adolphus and Ansely also stared at Ling Zhan with wide eyes, eagerly awaiting his explanation.
"I used Beast Control," Ling Zhan replied calmly.
Everyone: "…"
"Beast Control? Do you mean that F-tier skill Beast Control?"
Adolphus asked incredulously.
Ling Zhan nodded. "Yes."
Silence fell again.
Their faces were filled with disbelief.
An F-tier Beast Control!
Used to tame a level 155 boss Python King!?
Was he joking!?
How could this even be possible!?
