The primal power of Fate Summoning!
Lin Ran focused his gaze on the jar in his hand, a hint of excitement in his expression.
Although without the innate talent for Fate Summoning, he couldn't perfectly replicate its abilities.
Relying on the combined might of the Rinnegan, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Ope Ope no Mi, Lin Ran believed that achieving the effect of controlling a body should not be difficult.
As long as he could utilize the Ope Ope no Mi to ensure the survival of the heart;
Employ the primal power of Fate Summoning copied by the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan for energy circulation;
And use the Rinnegan's mastery of life and death to construct a living being…
If everything went smoothly, Lin Ran could even form a vast army by hunting fierce beasts and alien races.
It wouldn't even be impossible to subdue humans and turn them into his puppets.
Of course, such an action would carry considerable risk.
Once discovered, he might be branded as a public enemy of humanity…
…
Half a day later.
In the Kamui Space.
Success!
Lin Ran looked at the Black Dragon's body standing before him, his expression thrilled.
As he had predicted.
After thoroughly studying Jiang Siqi's Fate Summoning, Lin Ran had indeed uncovered its secrets and utilized them effectively.
Now, he could even easily manipulate the Black Dragon's body through the superposition of various abilities!
However, during such manipulation, the Ope Ope no Mi's ability placed an extreme burden on the heart.
Even with a powerful physique like Lin Ran's, controlling only the Black Dragon's body was exceedingly difficult.
Based on the strain, Lin Ran would be unable to bear it for more than ten minutes at most.
After all, this was a genuine Rank 10 creature, and moreover, a dragon at the apex of the biological hierarchy.
With the Black Dragon's body in its human form, its muscle density was impossibly high.
Lin Ran, standing before the Black Dragon's body, had no doubt that it could kill him in a single blow.
As for switching to the Black Dragon's body in its dragon form, although it lost muscle density and agility, it became more powerful in crushing weaker entities, with countless area-of-effect attacks, making it highly suitable for team battles.
The human form was even more suited for one-on-one and small-scale combat.
This was his ultimate trump card!
Not only could he control it with his own body, but he could also summon it to fight for him.
With this, what was there to fear in the world?
Lin Ran was extremely satisfied with his current state.
Hmm? Someone's coming.
Lin Ran suddenly sensed that the genjutsu he had set up around his residence had activated its detection effect.
Being cautious, he had deployed numerous functional genjutsu around the villa for safety.
These included a large number of Amaterasu, Kamui, and even heart-stopping electrical currents.
If any ill-intentioned intruders were to breach them, Lin Ran wouldn't even need to act; he could make them regret their intrusion.
Let's see who it is…
Kamui!
With a thought, Lin Ran instantly reappeared in his room.
As his strength continued to grow, the speed of his spatial transfer using Kamui had also become increasingly faster.
"It's time to go, Xiao Ran, Qing Yan!"
"The event organizers have already arranged the location for the survival competition and are urging us to depart."
Returning to his second-floor room, Lin Ran soon heard Lin Miao's voice from downstairs.
Lin Ran descended the stairs, surprised.
"The team competition just ended, and they're not even giving us any rest time?"
"Even if we have to rush to the competition venue, there's no need to be so hasty."
Lin Miao rolled her eyes.
"Who knows how they've arranged it…"
"But according to them, the competition won't start immediately. We need to go and familiarize ourselves with the venue, scout the area, and there will be rest time for everyone."
"What we need to do now is to follow the main group and head over there. We'll receive further arrangements later."
"So go call Qing Yan down so we can leave."
"As for those other unknown matters, we'll just have to hear about them on the way."
Lin Ran sighed in resignation.
"Alright, if it's rushed, it's rushed."
"Let's go!"
…
Not long after, all twelve members of Yan University, including Lu Qiufeng and Lin Miao, had boarded the small aircraft provided by Xiangchu.
In the center of the aircraft was a glowing blue virtual orb, clearly a communication tool for the event organizers to make arrangements.
"These guys are being so mysterious. I really don't know where they're going to set up the competition venue…"
"I heard it's supposed to be quite thrilling."
"With the Supreme Council backing the organizers this time, they certainly have a lot of confidence."
Lu Qiufeng muttered, gazing at the virtual orb.
Lin Miao smiled.
"Who cares where it is!"
"We have God Ran with us, we're bound to win!"
Hearing Lin Miao tease him, Lin Ran's face contorted slightly.
"Sister Miao, stop messing with me…"
Just as Lin Miao was about to say something else with a giggle, the virtual orb suddenly lit up.
"To all participating contestants and accompanying teachers, hello. The destination we will be heading to is - Ruin City 0114. Please be mentally prepared."
"The venue for this competition will also be held within Ruin City 0114."
Lu Qiufeng was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Wow! They're truly bold, daring to hold a competition in Ruin City!"
Lin Ran couldn't help but stroke his chin, pondering.
Ruin City, as it was called, was a general term for abandoned human cities.
For various reasons—such as alien invasions, beast sieges, or dimensional rifts—humans were forced to abandon, or temporarily abandon, some of their original settlements.
These settlements then became Ruin Cities.
Within Ruin Cities, the mix of inhabitants was chaotic, containing all sorts of potential entities, with an unfathomable level of danger.
To hold a survival competition in such a place…
Xiangchu was not worried about any accidents happening!
The voice from within the virtual orb seemed to have anticipated this and added with a smile.
"Although it is Ruin City, you do not need to be overly concerned about its dangers."
"Ruin City 0114 has undergone several rounds of clearing. The things that may exist within it are already within controllable limits."
"Furthermore, due to the presence of a large-scale teleportation array, you will be enveloped by healing radiance when you sustain fatal injuries."
"Although the protective effect cannot be as irresistible as on the arena, it is still effective."
"In addition, we have also specially issued each of you an instant teleportation scroll, which can be used to actively escape the area, greatly enhancing your safety."
"Therefore, do not push yourselves. When you find that you cannot succeed, retreat quickly."
"Otherwise, if any accident truly occurs, it is you yourselves who will ultimately bear the bitter consequences."
