CHAPTER 590: CHAPTER 354: LITTLE NIAN BEAST AND LIN XINGSHI (DOUBLE CHAPTER, PLEASE VOTE)

At the gray juncture of the sea and sky, a huge sun slowly rises, casting a line of sunlight onto the sea surface.

"To succeed the Year Beast Monarch and gain dominion over all demons on Hai Fan Mountain?"

At this moment, on a high cliff by the sea, Ji Minghuan crossed his legs and sat quietly on the ground, checking the task panel of the fourth body—"Little Nian Beast".

Behind him was a tunnel wrapped in thorns and bouquets, dark and bottomless.

Looking at the content on the mainline panel, Ji Minghuan couldn’t help but click his tongue.

"Is this asking me to ascend the throne as soon as I return?" he thought, "It seems like the Year Beast Monarch is either sick, injured, or old. Otherwise, they wouldn’t allow an upstart like me, who disappeared for ten years, to take power right away."

He tilted his head, "The initial data of this ’Perfect-level Body’ appears to be at the pinnacle of the Catastrophe Level. Although it’s not as exaggerated as the Mythical Level, it should still stand out among demons. I wonder if I can intimidate the twelve zodiac signs."

Then he pulled up the gear panel in the lower right corner of his vision and scanned it from top to bottom.

The color palette of the Little Nian Beast’s gear panel is very unique, unlike the Black Cocoon’s "red and black", the Chess Player’s "black and white", or the Shark’s "dark blue". It overall presents a bewitching and vivid "purple and red".

Like a blooming mandala flower.

The UI color of the gear panel is the primary color scheme for each body, making it highly recognizable.

This also prevents Ji Minghuan from confusing the systems of all bodies.

"Time to look at the skills. The skill tree of the Perfect-level Body doesn’t require development, but I wonder about its strength." With this thought, Ji Minghuan raised his hand and clicked on the skill tree panel.

[Hint: The fourth body "Little Nian Beast" has a total of two skill tree branches. As a "Perfect-level Body", both "Branch One" and "Branch Two" have been developed to their endpoints, and all skills have been unlocked.]

[Introduction: As the Child of the Year Beast and the most unique Year Beast, you wield "Spatial Power", a characteristic attribute not possessed by other Year Beasts.]

[Branch One (Emperor):

(Note: The skills of this branch can only be used in the "Year Beast" state)

1. Year Beast Form (Learned) (In the Year Beast form, the Little Nian Beast skillfully controls the Demon Flame.)

2. Demon Flame Frenzy (Learned) (The Little Nian Beast charges forward with full force, transforming itself into an unstoppable torrent of flame attacking the enemy.)

3. Demon Flame Jet (Learned) (The Little Nian Beast emits a jet of flame from its palms or feet, used for burning enemies or propelling flight.)

4. Year Beast’s Might (Learned) (The Little Nian Beast emits a terrifying and awe-inspiring roar, disrupting the enemy’s thoughts for a short time.) (Only effective against species of a lower "level" than yours)

5. Demon Arrival (Learned) (Endpoint of the branch) (The Little Nian Beast enters the "Demon Arrival" form, becoming frenzied for a short period, covered in purple-red demon flames, significantly enhancing physical abilities at the cost of temporary loss of reason.)]

[Branch Two (Human):

(Note: The skills of this branch can only be used in the "Human" state)

1. Human Form (Learned) (Allows the Little Nian Beast to transform into human form. In this form, the control over Demon Flame significantly weakens, but the mastery of "Spatial Power" greatly increases.)

2. Spatial Awareness (Learned) (Gives you a perceptive domain, greatly accelerating your thinking speed, enabling comprehensive insight into any figure entering your ten-meter range, their speed appearing significantly slower in your eyes.)

3. Space Claw (Learned) (Beast-like claws extend from the fingertips, tearing open a spatial fissure linked to an "independent space", usable for item storage or absorbing attacks, or even temporarily confining enemies.)

4. Air Strike (Learned) (Creates a tiny spatial fissure, allowing your hand or foot to enter it, instantly appearing at a point within fifty meters to strike an opponent.)

5. Firecracker Immunity (Learned) (In human form, the "Little Nian Beast" no longer fears the sound of firecrackers.)

6. Demon Flame in Space (Endpoint of the branch) (Combines Spatial Power with Demon Flame, creating a fireball capable of devouring space. Anyone hit by the fireball will be sent to another space, where they will be lost permanently or temporarily.)]

"What’s this?"

Ji Minghuan was left stunned as he read.

After scanning through the circles of skills for the fourth body again, he blinked, confirming he hadn’t seen it wrong.

Immediately after, a straightforward yet slightly overwhelming line of thought appeared in his mind.

"Against opponents I can beat, just rely on ’Year Beast Form’ to overpower them with sheer numbers. If that doesn’t work, go into frenzy mode; if even frenzy mode can’t handle some monstrous being, then attempt to use ’Human Form’ and spatial power to send them away."

Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan couldn’t help but sigh, "These two skill trees are way too overpowered, aren’t they? Much better than a certain Shark, aren’t they?"

He was very satisfied with this.

Judging purely from the descriptions, the Little Nian Beast’s skill tree fully lives up to his expectations for a Perfect-level Body.

And most importantly, there’s no need to start from scratch, like with the other three bodies, gradually improving step by step.

The skill tree of the fourth body is complete from the outset, perfectly matching Ji Minghuan’s needs.
