"With arms that long, it'd be a shame not to learn the Qigong Cannon."
Watching EVA Unit-03's third arm across from him rapidly regenerate itself, Cheng Tian could not help but sigh sincerely.

Yet the two extra arms mounted on its shoulders clearly possessed regenerative abilities. The shattered stumps were forcibly torn away amid Unit-03's furious howl, spraying blue blood everywhere. Then, visibly, they began rebuilding themselves, no different from how they had been at the start.
