255 Methods

Upon hearing the newcomer's words, Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes and then asked, "Who are you? Bel'Veth? Shalatai? Or perhaps the master of this place, the Priestess of Desert Light?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, the mysterious figure shrouded in a cloak let out a soft chuckle. However, like before, this chuckle was filled with incomprehensible internal noises.

"Clearly, changes in the world itself have also affected your judgment... my dear prophet."

Upon hearing the mysterious man's words, Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes and then said, "You know me?"

"Of course I know... Yuan Chen, the Dancer Master from Ionia. Although I didn't see him in person, he has already arrived here, so I suppose Ixialia's crisis has been resolved?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen showed little change in expression, and even his emotions remained as stable as ever as he said:

"Since you know me so well, you should know that I'm quite skilled in Scout Skill."

"Yes, I know. Once the judgment is completed, after a brief chill, all the attributes of the person targeted by the reconnaissance spell will become clear to you. This even includes their status, class, talents, abilities, personality, weaknesses, and shortcomings..."

"But... as long as it doesn't get marked as complete, that's enough."

The mysterious man tilted his head, and his head, which was completely enveloped by the Void Creature, tilted to an eerie angle.

He stared at Yuan Chen. Although he couldn't see the other person's eyes, Yuan Chen could sense the playfulness and teasing in them.

But just as this guy said, if the other party really doesn't reveal even a trace of its true form, and uses magic to separate its equipment, symbiote, armor, etc., from itself into two independent entities, then even if Yuan Chen's reconnaissance spell hits, all he can get in the end is information about the identified matter.

That is, the information about the armor.

Generally speaking, such equipment is impossible. Because no matter how sophisticated the armor is, it can never be as smooth as the human body—even if it is incredibly close, there will always be subtle differences and discrepancies.

In this situation, whether it's a warrior or a mage, even if they've reached the master level, it's impossible for them to be completely enveloped in a suit of armor that represents a separate entity from themselves on an energy level.

Those of lower levels are even less likely to be able to do so... Masters can determine the location of an enemy by intuition, tracking, locking onto them with killing intent, or using methods similar to Jax's "qi" without relying on sight. But below the Master level... let alone below the Master level, even the Masters themselves are just stronger ordinary people in terms of physique.

Therefore, this flaw in reconnaissance techniques can be considered essentially non-existent.

Even under such circumstances, Yuan Chen never mentioned it to anyone.

But now...

Is the Void truly omniscient and omnipotent?

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes, then gently exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "So, what does Your Excellency wish to do?"

"Do something you enjoy doing most."

The newcomer sneered, then opened his arms towards Yuan Chen and said, "Attack... let me see your mettle."

Upon hearing the mysterious man's words, Yuan Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded thoughtfully. Although he didn't know who this person was, it was clear that the other party knew him and didn't have any obvious malice towards him.

Given the current situation, understanding the other party's identity is clearly necessary.

Thinking it over, Yuan Chen took a deep breath and said coldly, "Then let's begin!"

As he spoke, Yuan Chen was no longer in his concealed state. His body, which had almost blended into the darkness, emitted a faint Shimmer. The light wrapped around him first formed pale blue scales, then his blood surged, and with his bulging muscles, his close-fitting night clothes were instantly burst apart.

With a light tap of his toes, a buzzing sound erupted beneath his feet. Accompanied by flying sand and rocks, Yuan Chen's body flew like a cannonball close to the ground, arriving in front of the mysterious man in the blink of an eye.

With his right arm clenched tightly, he swung it, and all the power in his body surged from his feet, flowing through the spine and into his right arm. In an instant, his arm, which was already thicker than when he was a dancer due to his professional warrior profession, bulged with muscles, and the veins looked like the exposed roots of an old tree.

With a single punch, the air exploded with a buzzing sound, and dark red blood energy transformed into a dragon shadow that coiled around his arm, adding even more speed and ferocity to the already heavy strike!

Upon witnessing Yuan Chen's sudden outburst, the Void Symbiosis was not surprised at all. On the contrary, in Yuan Chen's view, a faint, ambiguous smile appeared on the mask that clearly lacked any facial features.

Then, she spread her arms, and her slightly graceful body instantly multiplied into countless dark purple bones, accompanied by a faint purple Shimmer swirling around them. Without any intention of dodging, a blazing Void flame shot out from the end of her right forearm.

Driven by the raging flames, the Void Symbiosis, which didn't seem to be good at close combat, charged head-on at Yuan Chen's iron fist!

Bump!

At the moment his fists met, a hint of seriousness appeared in Yuan Chen's eyes.

Although he is no longer Dancer Profession, Yuan Chen's understanding and perception of "power" have not disappeared.

Now, Yuan Chen could clearly feel that at the moment of impact, along with the deep purple energy ripples on the exoskeleton of the opponent's arm, all the energy he had applied to the opponent was completely swallowed up and digested.

Immediately afterwards, numerous energy channels grew from his arm, which then ejected the absorbed energy once more.

The continuous impact caused Yuan Chen's eyes to narrow slightly. He had no intention of confronting the attack head-on. Dragon scales Flash all over Yuan Chen's body as he withstood the blow and pulled away to create distance.

The other party did not pursue, but simply stared at Yuan Chen, seemingly waiting for his reaction.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Chen frowned and said, "You could have just sprayed that energy directly at me... Why did you choose such an inefficient method to retaliate?"

"Isn't this what you love to do most?"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's question, the newcomer shook his head and said coldly, "Defeat the opponent in what they do best to establish your authority... What, you're unhappy now that it's the other way around?"

"... No, not at all."

Upon hearing the mysterious man's words, Yuan Chen simply shook his head and said, "I'm just curious, who exactly are you?"
