The scarab beetle, overestimating its abilities, absorbed the [Nine Yin Candlelight] and was burned to ashes.
As their corpses were burned, a section of the once densely packed scarab beetle pile was instantly cleared out.
On the barren sandy surface, only black and red spiritual crystals remained, falling to the ground and spinning around, their surfaces burning with black flames and constantly making "pop pop pop" sounds.
Seeing the strange sight in the distance, Xu Zhihong scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself:
"How come I remember the information from headquarters said that the aura crystals of this elemental scarab beetle are golden yellow... Could I be remembering wrong?"
He then waved to his communications officer.
"Xiao Wu, bring me the information you sent before again. I feel there's something strange about these Rank 3 beasts..."
...
Seeing the spiritual energy crystals on the ground, Wang Zheng was also a little curious.
Based on past experience, all the strange beasts that come into contact with its flames will be burned to ashes. Even the spiritual energy crystals are not spared and will even explode to serve as nourishment for the [Nine Yin Candlelight], subsequently erupting into even more intense flames.
This was the first time Wang Zheng had ever seen anything like the scarab beetle that could devour elemental attributes or the spiritual crystal that emitted candlelight after death.
Wang Zheng felt it was necessary to observe and explore more possibilities of this [Nine Yin Candlelight].
Under Wang Zheng's observation, a small to medium-sized fourth-tier alien beast—a Cracked Claw Hyena—finally couldn't hold back any longer in the open area not far from the front line.
As if summoned by its innate instincts, it suddenly took a few steps forward and reached out its paw to paw at the still spinning, flaming crystal.
However, the moment its enormous claws touched the black flames on the spiritual energy crystal, the already unstable crystal suddenly exploded as if it had been stimulated.
In an instant, a ball of red and black candle flame expanded, like a giant maw ready to devour someone, and instantly enveloped the reckless dog.
Flames started spreading upwards from its giant claws, and within seconds it was completely burned to ashes.
Then, with a crisp "crack," the hyena's spiritual energy crystal exploded.
Immediately, the fire burned even more fiercely...
Seeing this scene, Wang Zheng roughly understood the situation.
What has changed is not the flames, but the exotic insects and beasts from a foreign land.
When these two come into contact, it seems to trigger a very subtle chemical reaction.
Wang Zheng guessed that these scarabs might have changed their life form after absorbing his candle flames, but their mere third-grade bodies couldn't withstand the domineering power of the [Nine Yin Candlelight], so they spontaneously combusted.
However, the spiritual crystals of these scarabs mutated when they absorbed the candle flames, which is why such a strange scene occurred.
Wang Zheng immediately recognized the huge business opportunity in this.
Leaving aside whether his own candle flames could harm the Demon King, let's just take these high-level beasts of the fifth or sixth rank as examples.
Often, a high-level alien beast, unless it is still in its infancy and its strength has not been fully developed, requires at least two awakened beings of the same level to deal with it.
But what about my own candle flame?
It's truly deadly if you touch it; death is instantaneous if you get even slightly exposed.
Even if you self-harm the moment you touch the flame to prevent the candle flame from spreading, what if you throw two at the same time?
Three? ...
Or perhaps countless spiritual crystals imbued with candle flames will simultaneously rain down upon us?
The thought of countless low-level Awakened Ones wielding Candle Flame Crystals on future battlefields, hurling them at hordes of monstrous beasts while ranged Awakened Ones replenish their spiritual energy to fuel the attack...
"hiss--"
Wang Zheng was immediately terrified by his own crazy idea; the scene was too wonderful. He simply couldn't imagine it.
Moreover, Wang Zheng is not afraid that the country will research and imitate it, and then abandon him.
These scarabs have fought against countless elemental ability users of all sizes in the military, and none of them have encountered such a situation. This alone is enough to demonstrate how special their Candle Flame is.
Even if other people's elemental abilities could achieve the same effect, how destructive would that element be?
It's important to know that the area affected by that outburst wasn't very large, considering that the Cracked Claw Hyena isn't particularly big, and the Elemental Sacred Beetle is a third-grade exotic beast.
How much spiritual energy do you expect to find in this?
Even if his destructive power is sufficient, what kind of expert must he be to unleash such a weak burst of spiritual energy that can kill a sixth-grade beast? What level of awakener must he be?
Why would you send such a big shot to work at an insect farm?
It's worth noting that Wang Zheng is now a genuine A-level Awakener based on his attributes, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's the number one person below the extraordinary level.
If Wang Zheng were to tell him now that there are ordinary awakened individuals with such powerful abilities, he would have no choice but to reasonably suspect that the other party might have some kind of cheat code, just like him.
He, Young Master Wang, relies on the extremely domineering high temperature of the [Nine Yin Candlelight], not on stacking spiritual energy to deal damage. As for others, why should they compare with him?
Therefore, Wang Zheng has no worries about core competitiveness.
