An Unimaginable Boost

"Senior Sister!"

Seeing Cecily being swept away by the shockwave, Fang Li couldn't help but speak up.

However, this sound was quickly replaced by a loud laugh.

"You're really fast! Then let's have a race against us now!"

With that, Ardy, propelled by the thrusters on his back, sped towards Fang Li at an astonishing speed, raising his giant hammer and slamming it down on Fang Li's head.

Feeling the terrifying gust of wind coming at him, Fang Li couldn't care less about anything else. He shifted his feet and his entire body transformed into a gust of wind as he retreated rapidly.

"Don't even think about running!"

Ardy immediately rode on a massive jet of light, chasing after Fang Li like a bolt of lightning.

"Bang—!"

The sound of an explosion rang out.

That was the sound of Ardy's giant hammer striking the ground after missing its target.

"Laugh----!"

The sound of something cutting through the air echoed outwards.

That was the sound of Fang Li's figure flashing through the space like a phantom.

Ardy pursued Fang Li at an astonishing speed, swinging his giant hammer down again and again, but Fang Li dodged it with equally astonishing speed, and the hammer landed on the ground, shattering the ground and creating Explosive Wind that sent rubble and dust flying everywhere.

In an instant, the entire stage seemed to be under attack by artillery fire, with explosions occurring one after another, creating an extremely shocking scene.

Such a breathtaking Matoba drew cheers from the audience, igniting the atmosphere on the entire stage.

Of course, laymen only see the spectacle, while experts see the details.

Only those with a certain level of strength can see how much Ardy has changed.

With the help of the propulsion device on its back, Ardy not only has amazing attack power, but its speed has also become incredibly fast, no less than that of Fang Li.

Otherwise, Ardy wouldn't have been able to stay firmly behind Fang Li and relentlessly pursue him.

Fang Li was able to dodge all of Ardy's attacks by sheer speed, but also by the exquisite movement techniques of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique.

His extraordinary agility—sometimes ignoring the inertia of stagnation, sometimes suddenly accelerating to the limit, sometimes crouching like a wild beast, sometimes darting away like a spider—left Ardy unable to land a single hit.

If this were the situation previously faced by Ardy, they might have been helpless.

However, if it were the current Ardy, it would be different.

"In that case, let's try this!"

A blue light suddenly burst forth from Ardy's body.

As Fang Li was retreating rapidly, he only felt a sudden change in the surrounding air.

Immediately afterwards, crystal-like light walls suddenly appeared around Fang Li, like a box, blocking Fang Li's top, left, right and even back, causing Fang Li's steps to come to an abrupt halt.

"————!"

Fang Li's expression suddenly changed.

Ardy, you've used a barrier originally intended for defense in this kind of place.

If it were the previous Ardy, it could only deploy defensive barriers in one or two directions at most, which is why Fang Li was able to take advantage of it before.

But now, Ardy has deployed defensive barriers in all four directions, confining Fang Li them, leaving only an opening in front.

That's not because Ardy lacked the ability to deploy another defensive barrier.

Ardy left this gap open, solely for the purpose of attack.

"Now you can't escape!"

With that, Ardy raised the giant hammer in his hand high.

All the blue light emanating from his body converged onto the giant hammer.

"This is our strongest attack, and with it, our respect, humanity, you shall receive it all!"

Under this declaration, the hammerhead of the giant hammer in Ardy's hand suddenly began to spin, and the speed increased rapidly, eventually transforming into a rapidly spinning windmill, carrying a blue glow, and suddenly shooting out.

Yes.

The hammerhead in Ardy's hand, spinning at an incredible speed, suddenly detached from its handle and shot out like a windmill.

"Take this! Vorneir Great Hammer!"

Beneath the blue windmill, the surrounding airflow was completely disrupted, and the strong winds it stirred up even swirled like Tatsumaki, stirring up dust on the ground and spreading it in all directions.

With astonishing force, the hammerhead, like a cannonball, swept through space and hurtled fiercely towards Fang Li.

Once hit, even with the defense of Star Pulse Energy, one will inevitably suffer serious injury.

In that instant, Fang Li could no longer dodge.

Apart from the front, all directions were blocked by a transparent, crystal-like blue barrier, leaving Fang Li with only one choice.

Engage them.

As the massive windmill hurtled toward him, Fang Li slowly reached for the sheath at his waist.

"Boom—!"

The next second, the blue giant ship crashed heavily into the defensive barrier with only one gap, unleashing a violent impact with a deafening roar.

The ground was swiftly and decisively destroyed, instantly ripped open.

The rubble and debris flew in all directions like bullets.

The impact transformed into a raging storm, which poured out towards the only opening.

That scene was as if a meteorite had fallen onto the stage, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Thick smoke billowed out from inside the defensive barrier.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Ardy laughed wildly, his tone full of confidence and pride.

"How about that? This is the power we have now!"

Amid Ardy's laughter, the live broadcasters also raised their voices.

"Oh no! It seems that player Fang has suffered a fatal blow!"

"That power is indeed not to be underestimated. If it hits directly, even Fang would probably be..."

The words of the two live broadcasters caused a stir among the viewers.

Some cheered for Ardy.

Some were cheering for Fang Li.

Some were tense about the battle situation.

Some were excited for themselves.

All these calls only fueled the growing fervor in the atmosphere.

At one point, the broadcaster's somewhat surprised voice rang out.

"Huh? What's that?"

"Could it be..."

It wasn't just the live broadcasters who noticed; even Ardy took notice.

Within the thick smoke-filled defensive barrier, a figure slowly emerged.

Who else could it be besides Fang Li?

However, everyone's attention was drawn to the weapon in Fang Li's hand.

It was a pure white lightsaber.

"Zheng..."

A brilliant white light shone on the Omni-element Crystal.

"Buzz..."

The trembling air swirled along the sword.

Holding such a weapon, Fang Li raised his head, looked at Ardy, and a smile began to spread across his face.
