Possibility Within the Impossible

Stellar Eclipse Heavenly Eye Sight: Allows one to perfectly observe the "energy flow" of oneself and a target, thereby predicting the opponent's next move a certain amount of time in advance during battle.

Future Sight was one of Heavenly Eye's basic abilities.

Though the name of this ability sounded rather intimidating, in essence, it was merely a form of "outcome deduction."

Its principle was to observe the trajectory of an opponent's Star Energy flow and make a certain degree of prediction.

And as a Rank 2 Star Beast with a normal Star Energy Value as high as 3,000 points, the Earth Dragon Lizard—

It was unrealistic for Tiandao to completely predict all of its future movements.

Fortunately, Tiandao had never intended to predict all of its movements.

He merely needed to create a precious opportunity to strike.

Bang...

As Tiandao activated Future Sight,

A special Star Energy Fluctuation began spreading outward from his body.

In his eyes, the Earth Dragon Lizard's massive body gradually became transparent.

Countless Star Energy trajectories, some thick and some thin, spread from the Star Core within its body. Intertwining and influencing one another, they covered every part of the Earth Dragon Lizard's body, jointly creating this colossal creature.

As Tiandao watched these Star Energy trajectories, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind and began to be deduced.

Drip—

Though it was only a preliminary deduction, the enormous gap in strength between them still made it difficult for Tiandao. Sweat slid down his chin and fell to the ground.

A moment later, a sharp glint flashed through Tiandao's eyes.

I see it.

And almost at the same time, the massive Earth Dragon Lizard crossed the hundred-meter distance and arrived before Tiandao.

Facing this human whose Star Energy Value and body size were both far inferior to its own,

A trace of humanlike disdain flashed through the Earth Dragon Lizard's vertical pupils.

It raised a claw and casually swiped at Tiandao.

Though this attack appeared ordinary, Tiandao still felt immense pressure from it.

No one doubted the power of that strike, just as no one believed Tiandao and the others could win.

But to everyone's surprise, Tiandao seemed to possess foresight. Before the Earth Dragon Lizard even raised its claw, he had already reacted first.

Blink Step.

Tiandao gathered a massive amount of Star Energy beneath his feet, borrowing the force produced by its explosive release.

For a brief instant, it granted him astonishing burst speed, allowing him to narrowly evade the Earth Dragon Lizard's first attack.

Bang!

The Earth Dragon Lizard's claw struck the arena floor. The specially made steel plates let out a piercing metallic screech as sparks flew everywhere, leaving behind three horrifying gouges.

Seeing the empty ground, a trace of surprise flashed through the Earth Dragon Lizard's eyes.

It clearly had not expected Tiandao to evade its attack.

But it was nothing significant. From the very beginning, it had never regarded Tiandao and the others as opponents, merely... a group of toys.

Thus, the Earth Dragon Lizard did not linger where it stood and immediately pursued the dodging Tiandao.

And every attack that followed was fiercer than the last.

As a result, although Tiandao could predict roughly half a second of the Earth Dragon Lizard's movements in advance,

The absolute difference in their attributes still repeatedly placed him in peril, leaving him unable to launch an effective counterattack.

Seeing this, the expressions of the other Starborn outside the arena turned ugly. Some of the more weak-minded ones even showed obvious fear.

"What kind of joke is this? Can we really last three minutes against a monster like that?"

Even Tiandao, the strongest among them, was being suppressed by the Earth Dragon Lizard without any ability to fight back.

What if they replaced Tiandao?

The mere thought sent chills through their bodies.

Much less personally stepping into the arena to fight such a monster.

That was not a battle. That was suicide!

"Sis..."

Watching Tiandao dodge around the arena in such a "miserable" state, Chen Kong looked at Chen Xing in terror.

He clearly did not believe they could defeat this Earth Dragon Lizard either.

Chen Xing immediately snapped, "Shut up. Watch carefully."

"..."

Unlike Chen Kong, who had already been frightened into panic by the Earth Dragon Lizard,

Chen Xing's expression was not only calmer, but more serious.

Her crimson eyes remained fixed on Tiandao, as though she were observing something.

At the same time, quite a few people in the VIP Room upstairs displayed the same behavior.

Watching Tiandao repeatedly get forced into desperate situations by the Earth Dragon Lizard, only to escape danger again and again through "Future Sight," they could not help sighing in admiration.

"To endure to this extent against a Rank 2 Earth Dragon Lizard, Tiandao truly deserves the title of strongest."

"But if I am not mistaken, this child Tiandao should be buying as much time as possible for that Heavenly Mechanism Cat, correct?"

"Otherwise, he had several opportunities to widen the distance between himself and the Earth Dragon Lizard, allowing his other two teammates to share the pressure and prolong the battle as much as possible."

"Yet he did not choose to do that. Instead, he deliberately provoked it."

"Presumably, he believes that aside from himself, his other two teammates would have difficulty withstanding that large lizard's attacks."

"After all, even a Rank 2 Star Beast that is holding back can deliver casual blows beyond the imagination of children their age, can it not?"

Ms. Canary swirled her champagne glass as she gave her analysis.

The Griffon Man standing beside her nodded. "The greatest advantage of the Mechanical type over other types lies in the collection and organization of information."

"That Heavenly Mechanism Cat has remained standing in the same spot since the battle began. She must be gathering and analyzing the valuable data Tiandao is sending her."

"But there is one thing I do not understand..."

"Oh? What is it?"

The Griffon Man rested both hands on his golden cane and stared at the Heavenly Mechanism Cat Demon below.

"At its core, all data collection and organization in the Mechanical type exists to calculate a tiny 'possibility' from countless impossibilities."

"Otherwise, cold data alone can never be transformed into enticing results."

"If so, then what is the purpose of their data collection? What possibility are they so desperately pursuing?"

"To prolong the battle as much as possible? I do not think so."

Hearing this, Ms. Canary seemed to realize something as well. The glass in her hand gradually stopped moving, and she fell into thought.

Doctor, who had noticed their conversation, revealed a meaningful smile beneath his Silver Mask.

They could not guess what Tiandao intended to do because they did not understand Tiandao's personality.

Nor could they imagine what a proud heart was hidden beneath Tiandao's carefree exterior.

Stalling for time?

No, he knew Tiandao would never make such a choice.

Because if Tiandao did, it would mean he had already admitted defeat in his heart.

That was something Tiandao could never accept.

In that case, once all impossibilities had been ruled out, no matter how unbelievable the remaining answer might be, it would be the only answer.

Thus, Doctor concluded that Tiandao's purpose was not to stall for time at all.

He was waiting—waiting for a perfect opportunity to counterattack.

Everyone believed the Earth Dragon Lizard was invincible, yet Tiandao Siming insisted on trying.

Come, Tiandao. Let me see where your limit truly lies.
