Scattered gray radiance spread from the Rhomboid Crystal, filling He Ao's palm.
The radiance was like an exquisite surgical knife, cutting open space, cutting open the world, and slicing again and again toward He Ao's palm.
At the same time, flashing orange-gray radiance gathered in He Ao's pupils, forming nested rings as bright as incandescent lamps.
The instant those streaks of radiance touched He Ao's skin, they were dissolved by an invisible force and scattered into the void.
He Ao watched Liu Zhengyun, who stood before him with his head lowered, and slowly exerted force, pulling the World Eye Fragment upward.
Buzz--
The entire shadow-shrouded study trembled at that moment, as though the hand extended by the figure at the center of the space had grasped the power of the entire room.
Ignoring the changes in the space, He Ao continued to slowly pull the World Eye Fragment upward.
As he pulled, a force identical to the one he exerted but completely opposite in direction appeared on the World Eye Fragment.
At that instant, however much force He Ao used to pull upward, the invisible force would exert the same amount of force downward.
The two forces remained in perfect symmetrical balance, leaving the World Eye Fragment completely unmoved.
It was as though He Ao were holding his own hand and playing tug-of-war with himself.
He Ao silently watched the World Eye Fragment before him.
Liu Zhengyun's Talent Sequence was "Ruler Master."
It was not a combat-related Talent Sequence, but Liu Zhengyun had developed a way to use it in battle.
By borrowing his own ability, he could replicate an opponent's strength down to the pixel and, in most cases, achieve effects similar to the enemy's.
That was why Liu Zhengyun seemed capable of fighting anyone to a draw.
