I'll Surpass The MC

Advanced Gold Grade Pranic Beast—Zinger Prince!

Primary Nature—Prison Bomb!

This was a power derived from the Clumped Finger’s Primary Nature of Imprison. Imprison worked by accumulating a layer of minerals on the target body to transform them into a sculpture.

Prison Bomb’s functions were even simpler. Biome Bombs at the Gold Grade were capable of creating a terrain. A Prison Bomb did exactly that.

It built a terrain around the target, trapping them in the centre of the Prison Bomb. The material could be whatever the Zinger Prince wanted and could be condensed to counter the characteristics of the target.

Also, the Prison Bomb functioned in such a way that the moment the captive target resisted and struggled to break free, the Prison Bomb would absorb their Prana and Lifespan to reinforce the terrain layering them.

Eventually, the target becomes completely imprisoned in the centre, unable to break free. A Prison Bomb was just a modified Biome Bomb. Hence, the activation requirements were the same.

A Prison Bomb was a frustrating ability to face, since even if one could break free from it, they’d be too exhausted to continue fighting. Besides, while they were fighting to break free, the Zinger Prince could casually condense another Prison Bomb and hurl it at them.

“I’ll name you Kenka,” Inala infused a sea of information into the latter through a Tangible Piezo Slip, “You’ll exist to capture any targets necessary for the Quip Clan’s development and will also act as a counter to future invasions. Depending on the situation, you’ll be joining hands with the other Gold Grade Quip Clansmen for our objectives.”

The Zinger Prince was named Kenka Echo, and became the second strongest Quip Clansman, right behind the Royal Zinger. Until the Zinger Representative came to be, he was the one who will be managing the Quip Clan’s affairs.

With that, the three pinnacle Gold Grade cultivators of the Quip Clan became full-fledged Clansmen. They could now head into the wilds to carve their own territories.

Of course, Inala had no plans to send them out until they obtained their Secondary Nature. Only then would their powers not be compromised in the case Brangara chances upon them and consumes them.

Wittral observed Inala’s exchange with the three Gold Grade Quip Clansmen, ‘Beginner Gold, Intermediate Gold, and Advanced Gold. There are three terrifying Gold Grade variants.’

He then stared at himself, ‘When I become a Quip Clansman, I’ll become the fourth variant and the strongest of them all.’

“How long do I need to wait?” Wittral asked Inala, expectant of when he could become the Zinger Representative.

Many months had passed since Wittral decided to traverse alongside Inala on his path as the Royal Zinger. In these months, Inala had shared a lot of his plans with Wittral, keeping the latter up to speed with everything.

From the direction he wanted to develop the Quip Clan, plans to increase their population, locations where he could form settlements, the culture of the Quip Clan, etc. Inala told everything to Wittral and made plans according to the latter’s input.

By now, despite being an Empyrean Snapper, Wittral subconsciously began to consider himself part of the Quip Clan. Upon seeing the Quip Clansmen use Mystic Royal Art, he felt jealous, ‘I should have been the first one to use them.’

“Seriously, how long?” Wittral pouted.

“When a Mystic Grade Pranic Beast’s Spirit Container produces ten million units of Prana, a piece of Sumatra Gold is formed,” Inala explained.

As the Mystic Grade Pranic Beast continues to generate Prana, similar to how honey can overflow out of a honeycomb, sediments begin to form around the Spirit Container. By the time ten million units of Prana are produced, the piece of Sumatra Gold finishes forming.

A Mystic Grade Pranic Beast typically lives until the end of its lifespan. After all, it faced no threat to its life. Generally, Mystic Empyrean Tentacles stayed put and experimented to further their strength while communicating with their Transcendents in the Transcendent Worlds.

They moved strategically and didn’t involve themselves with anything that wasn’t deemed worthy of their attention. Hence, they would be producing a few dozen pieces of Sumatra Gold during the entirety of their existence.

Conversely, the Boar King was different. His Primary Nature was Voracious Nature. He spent all his time running about wildly on Sumatra and consumed everything he deemed consumable. With an insatiable appetite and potent digestive power, his Spirit Container produced a lot of Prana.

86 Sumatra Gold!

That was how much he managed to produce in a mere two thousand years. And every time he killed and consumed an Empyrean Tusk, he produced a new piece. Inala found out about this from Brangara at the Attributed Region.

That was the piece of information he wanted the most and hence focused on that through his Biome Bombs, managing to extract it alongside Brangara’s Prana and Lifespan.

For Inala to produce a piece, he would first have to become a Mystic Grade Royal Zinger and then simply absorb the Prana stored in his Biome Bomb. Once enough flows through his Spirit Container, a piece of Sumatra Gold would be created.

Having been accumulating Prana in the two Biome Bombs for the past few months, Inala barely had enough to produce a piece. But, he didn’t do that, because that would be a waste of his accumulation.

Once he elevates himself to the Mystic Grade, Inala wanted to have at least a list of things to do so that he can take advantage of his prowess and deal with them promptly.

Wittral’s race change, his Tertiary Nature, and the birth of enough Quip Zingers to populate his Clan. Inala wanted to achieve all of them at the same time. This way, he wasn’t wasting the sheer amount of Prana and Lifespan used to elevate himself to the Mystic Grade.

“Currently, I barely have enough to produce a piece, but I won’t have enough strength to complete your evolution. So, you’ll need to wait a bit more.” Inala continued, “Besides, the main ingredient necessary for your race change is present in the region alongside Sanctuary. Now that the Quip Clan can function properly, we can start heading there.”

“Let’s hurry then.” Wittral urged Inala as the two Biome Bombs began to make their way into the Dralh Sea.

By now, there was a small layer of water across the entirety of the Dralh Sea’s seabed. Water continued to gush out faintly from the Abyss Fall, which caused the Dralh Sea to begin recovering.

Other locations in the region weren’t that well off, continuing to experience a drought. Currently, the Brimgan Empire took advantage of the water shortage to form deals with the Pranic Beast territories around them.

The Brimgan Sea was still dry, but that didn’t mean the Brimgan Empire was helpless. Instead, they sent scout teams far and wide and discovered a river stream that wasn’t involved in the production of the Attributed Region.

They dug a canal and funnelled the water into the Brimgan Empire’s reservoir. They also set up large bases around the river to ensure their strategic needs weren’t interfered with by their competing powers—the Gold Grade Pranic Beasts.

Boul Brimgan was a diplomatic individual. He began to sell water to neighbouring Pranic Beast territories at a decently affordable rate. The price was through a barter system of resources, especially those produced in the Pranic Beast bodies.

Similar to the Red-Draft River, any river body in Sumatra Continent was home to the most terrifying of Pranic Beasts. Millingers were just one of the terrifying creatures in the Red-

Draft River.

Similarly, the river found by the Brimgan Empire was also dangerous enough. It was why other Pranic Beasts from the drought-filled regions couldn’t approach the river. Doing so was suicide, since they’d be attacked by the Pranic Beasts native to the river.

Only the Brimgan Empire dared to approach the river, having the strength and means to do so. To ensure the success of this operation, Boul Brimgan sent Harla Brimgan to the scene.

The moment this powerhouse arrived at the river, the native Pranic Beasts were fiercely suppressed. After all, her strength now was vastly superior to what she possessed at the Second Major Disaster.

Thanks to the cultivation technique of Mystic Kinesis Art that Boul Brimgan gave her, with the Golden Giant’s aid, Harla Brimgan obtained her Secondary Nature, able to now transform her Spirit Weapons into a Minor Treasure too.

That gave her more than enough power to freely contest against Gold Grade Pranic Beasts in their homes.

Even while operating in the vicinity of the Dralh Sea, Inala was still able to obtain information related to Harla Brimgan. Many Pranic Beasts at the Silver Grade were discussing this issue after all.

The two Biome Bombs landed on the thin layer of water as its six legs—the remaining two were used to hold each other as one—paddled in a flurry, carrying it forth on the water at a decent speed.

Abyss Ring was a heavily contested place, as that was the only habitable place in the Dralh Sea. So, all the natives were engaged in a bloody battle there, all whilst being swarmed by the Phells.

Swish!

As the Biome Bombs rowed across the water, followed by whistling sounds, thousands of Bludders raced past them, invading the Dralh Sea once again. When the Dralh Sea dried up, the natives there focused all their power to keep themselves alive.

This created a perfect chance for the Bludders to experience a grand feast. And they have been at it ever since the Second Major Disaster. As a result, the population of Bludders went out of control, causing them to spill out onto all the neighbouring regions.

‘There are at least twenty times their numbers now as compared to the previous time I was at the Dralh Sea.’ Inala thought and changed directions, not because of the Bludders, but to avoid the Empyrean Snappers that were returning to their homes from the Brimgan Empire.

Unlike in their hurried pace before, achieved by rapidly consuming their Spirit Pools, the Empyrean Snappers were returning at a cruise speed. Hence, even after so many months, they hadn’t returned to the Abyss Ring yet.

Currently, they too were being targeted by the Bludders. Inala avoided them to ensure Wittral didn’t come in contact with them. until Wittral became the Zinger Representative, Inala had no intentions to allow a reunion between the two.

Hence, before Wittral could even sense the Cooter Clan’s activities, Inala changed directions and plunged into the water, taking advantage of the refractive index of water to ensure nothing beyond a certain range outside could be perceived from within the water.

Using the Bludders as an excuse, the Biome Bombs continued to move underwater, making a beeline to the Abyss Fall.
