Fight Me
Unlike the previously densely packed skill panel, the Scholar's body, now formed from the Heartfire, now only has one skill remaining.
Jianfeng's gaze was fixed on the panel, and a genuine sense of surprise welled up in his heart.
It seems the Scholar has undergone a transformation during this time; is it with the help of the Myriad Transformations Authority?
Not only were hundreds of complex spells completely absorbed and unified through [Evolution], but even the [Origin Heartfire] that was the foundation of the spells was completely dissolved.
Coming to his senses, Jianfeng nodded slightly to Su Luo, indicating that there was no problem.
"Is there anything else?" Su Luo asked kindly.
Let's fight.
Unexpectedly, [Jianfeng] spoke calmly.
"No need, you're no match for me." Su Luo said with a hint of arrogance.
"The Sai Wangli still an hour away from here." Jianfeng lightly stroked the hilt of his sword, and said coldly, "We'll determine the victor within ten minutes. In the remaining thirty minutes, I'll eliminate all the local strongmen of the Thirteenth Ring and clear out the hidden Survivors within the Floating City. After that, I'll be free to do as I please."
You can't refuse me.
Jianfeng's gaze fell on his own sword again, as if he were looking at the sword, or perhaps at himself reflected in it, and he muttered to himself.
"Sai Wangli might have a backup plan in the Floating City. Your Heartfire Clone could have killed the local creatures much faster than I could, but you didn't. You want me to take that risk for you."
"This possibility is derived from the information you shared with me. I am pleased with your honesty and am amazed by your character, but I question your morality."
In other words, this is a transaction.
[Jianfeng] slowly gripped the seemingly ordinary Basic Long Saber, and the blade rippled in the Void, displacing the surrounding matter to form Vacuum.
"Now, fight me, and I'll take the risks for you."
In [Jianfeng]'s Survival World, no creature will seriously fight with him; everyone is relying on reason and background.
Su Luo was silent for a few seconds, then smiled.
In the Third Era, he had never had a proper fight. Every time he wanted to fight, he would stop at the last second, which almost made Su Luo forget the strength he had cultivated.
"Then let's begin."
A Dark Domain wave, Spread from afar, slowly surged in, covering Su Luo's body, formed from her Heartfire, with a dense, jet-black outer armor. Thousands of patterns surged and flowed on the surface of the armor.
Countless strands of pitch-black Heartfire continued to emerge, rapidly forming layers upon layers of flesh-and-skeletal structures, until a colossal, sky-covering black Giant slowly rose from the Void.
The Giant's massive body obscured the starlight from the depths of the cosmos, and Attribute Annihilation Heartfire Hibernation deep within its veins. A colossal will that bound this world slowly enveloped this isolated battlefield.
[Jianfeng] is still looking at the panel.
[Scholar's Heartfire]
[Skills: [Evolution Lv. EX Apex Realm], [Annihilation Lv. EX (Derivative of [Evolution Lv. EX Apex Realm])], [Ultimate High Energy Lv. EX (Derivative of [Evolution Lv. EX Apex Realm])]...]
The moment the Scholar actually set off, the originally single skill bar instantly generated several max-level EX skills, all of which were dynamically generated based on the Evolution skill.
It's hard to believe that he didn't even have Lv. EX skills before, but now he can reach Lv. EX level in all of them.
[Jianfeng] looked up at the enormous black Giant and discerned something.
Scholars abandoned hundreds of scattered skills, dynamically allocating all the power of the Heartfire and concentrating it on a few core Attributes, making the power highly condensed.
Is this what Evolution is?
[Jianfeng] gripped his longsword tightly, no longer hesitating, and took the lead in slashing out with the first strike.
[Saber Art Grandmaster Lv. EX Apex Realm], [Man and Blade as One Lv. EX]...
Since the opponent's methods are countless and ever-changing, I will return to the purest essence of the Sword Dao and respond to all changes with constancy.
A dazzling and powerful blade of light burst forth in an instant, like an inverted Galaxy, and slashed fiercely at the black Giant's body.
This strike, though of ordinary power, seemed to carry true damage, directly tearing apart the defensive barrier constructed by the Giant's layers of Constant Spell.
A gruesome, narrow gash appeared instantly from the black Giant's arm to his waist, but in the next instant, the damaged tissue rapidly healed under the Spell's reconstruction, disappearing without a trace.
[Jianfeng]'s expression remained completely calm, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a silver glint quietly appeared in his pupils.
[Weakness Detection]!
A massive body must have an energy core and structural nodes, which are inherently its weaknesses.
But this time, the [Weakness Detection] revealed something different from before.
The black Giant's body was full of weaknesses and was constantly changing, like a homogeneous, inanimate object without any organs.
An endless stream of energy was pouring into it, and [Jianfeng]'s blade Lock-On onto the black Giant's chest, unleashing a [Thrust]!
It was still that simple and unadorned swordsmanship; the True Damage ripped open the black Giant's chest, revealing the constantly changing structure inside.
The sharp edge penetrated the Giant's interior, only to be instantly swallowed up by Evolution Disordered Trajectories energy field within, vanishing without a trace.
The black Giant slowly raised its enormous hand, launching its first counterattack. A long-compressed ball of pitch-black fire hurtled towards Jianfeng.
[Fireball]!
[Jianfeng] raised his hand and cleaved the fireball in two with a single stroke. The shattered flames suddenly Diffusion, transforming into a flexible cage with a radius of five meters, which firmly imprisoned him within.
Just as he was about to raise his sword to smash it, he saw thousands of negative effects that had appeared on the panel at some unknown time!
"What is '[Burning with Lust]'... and why does it have a negative effect called '[[Jianfeng] Exclusive Poison]'?"
[Jianfeng] was somewhat puzzled.
Moreover, this prison seemed to possess infinite flexibility, changing in real time with his movements, even following his actions such as "raising his hand" and "Slash".
It was practically some kind of ultra-thin humanoid sheath, completely enveloping his every movement without letting out even a tiny bit.
[Jianfeng] focused his mind and held his breath, unleashing a direct [Slash] without any hesitation.
The cage shattered with a crash, but the fragments did not dissipate. Instead, they Evolution and reassembled, transforming into a closed black Klein Bottle without any inner or outer boundaries, completely trapping him inside.
This bottle has no inside or outside, naturally forming a closed system that directly traps [Jianfeng] inside.
The black Giant outside grabbed the bottle and poured energy into it continuously.
Various forces Evolution within this closed system. If [Jianfeng] had a health bar, one could see that the damage he receives per second is accumulating at an exponential rate.
What's going on?
[Jianfeng] is illiterate and cannot understand the principles of this Three Dimensions topological structure; he only knows that he is being beaten and his whole body aches.
The resulting power grew increasingly terrifying under the continuous accumulation of energy and temperature, rapidly escalating to a level that would cause even Constitution with 29 Attributes to explode, let alone [Jianfeng].
The black Giant silently held the bottle, the whole scene resembling a villain in a cultivation novel using a treasure bottle to refine a righteous knight.
