[Pituitary Space]

The cold, gray moon was now covered in scorch marks and steam was seeping out.

Even the dungeon area formed by the plant pots was affected. The victims imprisoned in the cells had their skin burned off, making them look like burned corpses.

In the most important Planting Room, heat constantly rises from the cracks in the soil, and the faces among the soil even seem to radiate a lava-like color.

The Victim's Sprout planted in the center were also covered with scorch marks, and even segmented structures appeared, corresponding to Luo Di's spine.

Everything is turning towards hell.

The entire moon is releasing heat.

The original gray was stained with a layer of hellish red, turning into a dull red... like an evil sun.

The class monitor, who had thought it was nothing serious while inside Luo Di's body, was now sweating profusely from the heat.

Liquid gathered and flowed across her tender body, sliding down her feet and covering the ground.

Even with her exceptional Flesh Control and the water-related properties she gained from this incident, she still struggled to process this intense heat.

"Is it really that hot? And it's the kind of heat only hell has, where water evaporates incredibly fast... I'll die of dehydration if this keeps up."

He was hoping to maintain relative independence, and then suddenly emerge from Luo Di's body at a crucial moment to catch Li Beite off guard.

It seems I can't remain independent now; I have to completely imitate Luo Di's body to accept this heat... Fortunately, his body doesn't reject me at all, as if it had accepted me before.

Buzz!

A fleeting memory flashed through Wu Wen's mind; she seemed to see a scene in the classroom, a scene of Luo Di swallowing something of hers.

Without thinking much,

Whew~ Take a deep breath.

"All things are me..."

As the voice ended,

Wu Wen's skin peeled away like an outer garment, revealing her translucent, pinkish body. Her body began to melt under the intense heat, but judging from her expression, it seemed she was doing it willingly.

The liquefied flesh and blood slowly seeped into Luo Di's flesh and blood, perfectly blending in.

A special structure seemed to be forming on Luo Di.

[Wenslaim City Hall of Fame]

Sparks flew,

The rocks shattered.

The two figures were engaged in a high-frequency head-on confrontation inside.

Wherever they went, both the buildings themselves and the various items stored in the memorial were destroyed.

In less than five minutes of fighting, Luo Di had a basic understanding of Li Beite's abilities and fighting style.

"Wu Wen is right. Li Beite's shell, as a suppressing container for monsters, has extremely high hardness and flexibility."

Even attacks in its Demon form are difficult to break through; only the frontal cuts from the Chainsaw Blade are somewhat effective.

The only dangerous part of his inner monster is his [hands].

There appears to be no danger to other parts of the body at present.

As long as I can avoid vital points with my reaction speed, even if my body is torn or pierced, I can Super-Fast Regeneration.

If this continues, he'll eventually break down under my "defense"... But something feels off. This guy, though still in the early stages of development, is definitely more than he appears to be.

The intense heat kept Luo Di highly focused.

No matter how quickly the opponent's hand gets close, he can use his explosive speed to avoid fatal parts in the first instant.

The incongruity lies in Li Beite's true form, which is all about defense and never takes the initiative to attack; it only uses the internal monster to launch simple attacks.

Li Beite kept retreating.

The injuries continued to accumulate on him.

But he always wore a smile, and the more powerful Luo Di displayed, the brighter his smile became.

After another fierce head-on collision,

"The opportunity has arrived!"

Luo Di's gaze was fixed on Li Beite's left shoulder, which was also the most severely injured part of the other party.

His chops were not random, but rather overlapped in one position as much as possible.

Currently, the left shoulder has been slashed more than ten times, and the bones inside are slightly fractured.

His bloodshot eyes gleamed with the ferocity of a murderer, and he was ready to strike.

At the same time,

Li Beite also noticed the change in Luo Di's aura and the location where he intended to strike.

"Are you ready to decide the winner...?"

Strangely, he still didn't dodge or defend himself.

Instead, focus on controlling the inner monster at this time.

He also targeted Luo Di's fatal weakness: his spine. If he could tear off the spine, Luo Di would either die or be completely paralyzed and defeated.

"Bring it on."

As the blade was raised high, the monster, under Li Beite's control, came down behind Luo Di.

Both sides chose to strike when the other made a move, leaving no room for evasion.

Due to the intense mental focus, it was as if the flow of time itself slowed down at this moment.

"I'll be faster, Luo Di! Your sword is still charging up, isn't that too slow?"

As Li Beite spoke these words, the monster's hands were already on Luo Di's back, right on either side of his spine. The monster's fingers had already dug into his skin, and the next step would be to pull out his spine.

However.

Even when facing imminent death, Luo Di's eyes beneath his mask remained unchanged, fixed intently on Li Beite before him.

He paid no attention to what was behind him or the condition of his spine.

"Um?!"

Li Beite realized something, but it was too late.

Bass!

A flash of blood-red light,

The monster's human-like forearm was already flying in the air, the cut surface as smooth as silk.

The loss of his arm caused Li Beite excruciating pain; blood seeped from his own arm, and his hands began to tremble.

It seems that if the monster is injured, he will suffer the same injury.

He stared incredulously at what was behind Luo Di.

On Luo Di's back, a Girl's arm grew out, and that arm was holding an incomparably exquisite Flesh Sword.

Both the quality of the sword itself and the slashing technique were perfect.

"You're clearly two different people, yet you can trust each other to this extent... Is this what they call a married couple in novels?"

[cut]

At that moment, the ashes seemed to take the form of concrete words before Li Beite.

The next moment... whoosh!

The blade, raised high in the air and fully charged, fell like a guillotine.

The knife struck precisely at the wound on Li Beite's left shoulder, without missing a single point!

The striking power, combined with the chainsaw's cutting force.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Luo Di roared from beneath his mask, his spine channeling his full power, and the blade itself becoming extremely engorged with blood.

An unimaginable Hell Pressure cleaved open the wound, severing Li Beite's incredibly sturdy outer shell diagonally, shattering all his bones and flesh.

Boom!

A gust of wind pressed down and spread out on both sides.

Even the ground was slashed open with deep, charred marks!

The immense force propelled Li Beite's body outwards, crashing through the memorial's walls and hurtling downwards from the park's highest point.

Luo Di dared not be negligent at all.

With his footsteps coordinated with the Ashes Wings, he moved swiftly and caught up immediately.

Although he didn't intend to kill the other party, he wanted to take this opportunity to ensure that Li Beite was completely incapacitated and defeated. Even if the other party made any move, he would need to finish him off with a blow.

Thump!

The force of the strike was beyond imagination; Li Beite actually flew directly to the lake in the middle of the park and landed right there.

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Di immediately prepared to jump into the lake.

Suddenly, Wu Wen's warning rang in my brain, even causing a ringing in my ears:

"Retreat!"

Because of trust,

Luo Di decisively gave up the chase and retreated at full speed, his feet firmly planted on the ground.

The next second, an invisible pressure seemed to descend on the edge where Luo Di had just been standing, and the ground sank a full five meters, forming the shape of a handprint.

In the center of the lake,

Something slowly floated out.

It was indeed Li Beite, but the monsters around him seemed to have disappeared.

The body that had been cut off diagonally by Luo Di was now "stuck" together. A white fleshy substance could be seen at the junction of the wounds, and many tiny legs were wriggling on the surface.

Li Beite's arms changed.

Before the elbow, it was completely white... losing all color, becoming a hand like a monster's, seemingly even whiter, with even the blood inside being white.

His eyeballs had also turned completely white.

He also had an almost perverted smile on his face.

"Luo Di, you're amazing! Among monsters of the same level, no one has ever seen my true form... Don't die, you have to hold on! Don't die!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Li Beite's face developed a corner crack in the opposite structure, and along the crack, her face flipped open like paper, revealing her true face inside.

It seemed to be in the center of the monster's chest.

Like a cave,

Like emptiness,

Similar to the essence.

now,

Li Beite's exterior and interior are a perfect match...
