Chapter 311: Soul Annihilation

Chen Ya’s expression turned serious upon hearing that the beast could transform into human form, which was already a grave matter in itself.

If this beast also possessed a terrifying reproductive ability, wouldn’t it be a matter of life and death?

She immediately said, “I will contact the research academy to see how they are progressing with the research on that spider egg.”

Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Yes, I believe we must do everything possible to stop this. If there are truly thousands of shape-shifting beasts appearing and reproducing generation after generation, there might be no trust left between people. Anyone around us could potentially be a transformed beast.”

Chen Ya, equally serious, made a call to the research academy to inquire.

After a while, Chen Ya approached Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, saying, “I just spoke with the professor at the research academy. According to their research, that spider egg is not a natural occurrence but a kind of artificial life form.”

Ye Xuan was taken aback, “Artificial life form? Who created it?”

Chen Ya shook her head, “No one knows, but based on their findings, the genetic makeup of that spider egg shows clear signs of artificial editing, unlike a naturally born species. However, if it successfully develops, its reproductive ability should be quite strong, as mentioned by the researchers. This kind of non-natural birth organism, if their numbers increase, could pose a greater threat to humanity than the shape-shifting beasts. We need to handle this with caution.”

Ye Xuan’s expression turned grave as he said, “These shape-shifting beasts can transform and even cloak themselves. It’s not easy for ordinary ability users to kill them. If there are mental ability users, a direct and lethal strike would be more effective.”

With the original plan disrupted, Ye Xuan could only hope that the psychic ability user who had once effortlessly killed the Spider Emperor in the past would intervene again to turn the tide.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ya pondered for a moment and said, “A psychic ability user? There is one I know. I’ll give him a call and ask for his help.”

Chen Ya took out her phone, about to make the call, then suddenly remembered something and added, “Ye Xuan, you and Mengli go ahead and see if you can come up with any other solutions.”

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli left the office directly, while Chen Ya made a call to her husband.

After a while, Chu Han arrived at Chen Ya’s office and asked, “Why the urgent call?”

Chen Ya calmly said, “I need to call Fang Zhonghua. Didn’t we agree that whenever I contact him, you have to be present?”

Chu Han chuckled, “How long has it been? It was just a joke back then. Why take it to heart?”

Chen Ya glanced at Chu Han and said, “Is that so? Then you can leave. I’ll call him alone.”

Chu Han immediately smiled, “Since I’m here, I might as well listen in!”

Chen Ya gave Chu Han a look and said, “Saying one thing, meaning another. If I don’t call you over today, we’ll end up arguing again!”

Chen Ya knew Chu Han very well; despite his rough exterior, he had a small mind. Initially, Chen Ya, Chu Han, and Fang Zhonghua all knew each other. Chu Han and Fang Zhonghua had both pursued Chen Ya. At first, Chen Ya leaned towards the refined and better-looking Fang Zhonghua.

Although Chen Ya had a slight preference in her heart, she wanted to test the character of both men. Chen Ya enlisted her two best friends to seduce Chu Han and Fang Zhonghua separately.

Chu Han was devoted to Chen Ya and was actively pursuing her, showing no interest in the seducers. Fang Zhonghua, on the other hand, was more open to other relationships outside of Chen Ya. He liked Chen Ya and wanted to marry her, but he didn’t mind having other women besides her. Even if he slept with these women, Fang Zhonghua didn’t see it as betraying Chen Ya. To him, it was merely a physical relationship, and he believed it was fine for his subordinates to occasionally indulge. Emotionally, he only loved Chen Ya.

Therefore, when Chen Ya arranged for her friends to seduce him, Fang Zhonghua fell for it.

The end result was that Chen Ya ended up with Chu Han and broke up with Fang Zhonghua. Fang Zhonghua was quite heartbroken about it and had been away from the capital for many years without returning.

Over the years, he had been with many women, and his subordinates often indulged, never taking a break. However, he was spiritually impoverished, still deeply in love with Chen Ya, and unwilling to return to the capital, a place of heartbreak for him.

Fang Zhonghua’s ability was the SS-class Soul Annihilation, directly targeting the soul with terrifying lethality. He was currently stationed in the northern part of China, guarding the area with great achievements, not inferior to Chu Han.

Unfortunately, Fang Zhonghua’s weakness was women. Despite his deep affection for Chen Ya, he couldn’t resist temptation.

In the previous life, after annihilating the first Spider Emperor, he got drunk at the victory celebration and was easily seduced by a beautiful woman, who turned out to be another Spider Emperor in disguise and devoured him.

Fang Zhonghua’s ability had terrifying killing power targeting the soul, but his physical defense was weak, and coupled with his lack of vigilance, being devoured by the Spider Emperor was quite normal.

Of course, the events of the past life were not as simple as Ye Xuan imagined. Although Fang Zhonghua’s physical body was fragile, his soul strength far surpassed that of ordinary people.

After the second Spider Emperor destroyed Fang Zhonghua’s body, his soul used the Soul Annihilation ability to eliminate the soul of the Spider Emperor and took over its body.

He then discovered that there were thousands of spider eggs inside the Spider Emperor’s abdomen, waiting to hatch.

To prevent future troubles, Fang Zhonghua directly controlled the body of the Spider Emperor, carrying the numerous eggs, leaped into an incinerator with high temperatures, completely killing the second Spider Emperor.

After his soul left the destroyed second body, Fang Zhonghua’s soul also dissipated, so the scale of the Spider Emperor did not expand.

Ye Xuan thought the second Spider Emperor was deeply hidden, hunting humans in the shadows, but in reality, it perished along with Fang Zhonghua.

Next, in front of Chu Han, Chen Ya called Fang Zhonghua, “Old Fang, are you busy with the war over there? If possible, come back to the capital. We have encountered a difficult problem here, and I hope you can help resolve it.”

Fang Zhonghua immediately smiled, “Little Ya, after all these years, we still have a telepathic connection. I haven’t been back for a long time. This year happens to be my father’s seventieth birthday, so I plan to return to the capital for a few days. I’ll help you solve this problem.”

Beside them, Chu Han, with a dark expression, muttered, “You called her Little Ya? Hmph!”
