Crisis

The combination of Mechanical Modification and Vector Control is indeed very powerful, making one almost invincible during the duration of the ability's activation, but there are ways to end this state as quickly as possible.

By generating a large amount of useless data, Xiao He's computational workload can be increased, thereby shortening the duration of his "Accelerator" state. Just like Ball Thrower throwing a handful of steel balls, it caused Xiao He's computational workload to increase dramatically, almost causing him to overheat.

Of course, this is on the premise that the other party knows the secret of his Superpower.

"Three minutes? That's too short..." Xiao He complained, somewhat dissatisfied.

However, this is a 3v3 match, and there are too many audience members present, which is an external factor affecting the game. If it were a one-on-one match without an audience, it could probably last much longer.

But the most crucial point is that this competition has "Usurpation" the power of three more people.

"At this rate, I should be able to level up to LV3 or LV4 after this competition, right?" Xiao He clenched his fist and thought to himself.

Back in the lounge, Cui Man and Ye Wanqing came up to greet them.

"Old Xiao! You played well this time, and no one got injured," Ye Wanqing said with a smile. Cui Man also nodded in satisfaction. "This fighting style is quite good, and very technical. It's just a little hard to understand."

The stark contrast between the C on the left and the E on the right momentarily distracted Xiao He.

But Cui Man immediately reminded them, "Alright, let's try to win the second game. After the M Country Team's first loss, they'll either give up entirely in this next game, or they'll pull out their trump card. In short..."

As she spoke, Cui Man looked around. She seemed to realize that Xiao He was quite exhausted, so she turned to Li Zhengliang, Yue Feng, and Zhang Ming: "Qilin, Qiongqi, and Mirage Dragon, the three of you go up and try to win the match."

"Ah, finally it's my turn..." Yue Feng laughed excitedly, standing up abruptly and almost overturning the table.

"Hoo..." Li Zhengliang took a deep breath and stood up. "I will win this victory."

"These two are perfect for me to use my illusions on, leave them to me..." Zhang Ming nodded. "This round, I'll carry!"

The three of them entered the elevator noisily, while Xiao He sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Xiao, are you running a fever?! Your temperature is so high!" Ye Wanqing asked anxiously.

"No, the processor is overheating," Xiao He replied, grabbing his laptop from the table and fanning himself.

"You don't need to play today, just get some rest," Cui Man said, patting his head.

So Xiao He went and brought back a large tub of ice cream.

"It's only April, and it's already over 10 degrees Celsius, and we're already eating ice cream..." Ye Wanqing grumbled from the side.

"My body components are overheating, let me cool down a bit," Xiao He replied, then scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Ye Wanqing's mouth.

Ye Wanqing glanced at the spoon. The ice cream had two flavors: cantaloupe and strawberry, but she didn't particularly like either of them. However, after thinking for a moment, she still took a small bite. "Okay, you eat it. I'll only have the chocolate and grape flavors."

But despite saying that, Ye Wanqing was secretly delighted: she had just shown off her affection in front of everyone...

"Kids are so cute, getting this happy from an indirect kiss..." Cui Man shook her head with a smile.

On the field, Li Zhengliang and his two teammates had already taken the field, waiting for the Mutant from the M Country Team to appear.

Not only the three Mutant from the Dragon Country, but even the audience is wondering: Will the M Country reveal its trump card early to save face, or will it simply give up and abandon this point?

"The Mutant sent by M Country are 'Lone King,' 'Spore Man,' and 'Thousand Magnet'!" the host announced. "Please welcome them!"

The one in the half-black, half-white combat suit is Thousand Magnet, who appeared before; the black man in combat shorts and a wrestling mask should be "Lone King"; and finally, the white man in the red and green combat suit and mushroom hat is undoubtedly Spore Man.

Lone King and Spore Man haven't appeared in previous matches, so they should be considered "secret weapons".

"The Lone King and Spore Man, and these are guys I've never seen before..." Xiao He frowned. "There are just too many Mutant in this group."

Li Zhengliang, Yue Feng, and Zhang Ming's abilities complement each other, but only Li Zhengliang truly possesses independent combat capabilities. Therefore, in Xiao He's view, their best strategy is for the three of them to cooperate, with Li Zhengliang and Yue Feng cooperating with Zhang Ming's illusionary techniques to launch attacks, which can also enhance their own strength.

"Let's have a fair and square duel!" Yue Feng roared, then charged towards the three opponents.

"Ugh, you idiot!" Xiao He cursed through gritted teeth, scooping up a large spoonful of ice cream and eating it.

However, Zhang Ming actively cooperated with Yue Feng. He clapped his hands, and a cloud of dust spread out from him, engulfing Yue Feng's figure as he rushed forward. When Yue Feng emerged from the dust, he had become two people.

"Which one is real? Or are they all fake?" everyone couldn't help but wonder.

But the opposing Lone King suddenly stepped forward, clasped his fists together, and declared, "Duel!"

An octagonal cage formed of light appeared on the field, and Zhang Ming and the Lone King were locked inside it.

"What the hell is this?!" Zhang Ming panicked and tried to hide.

Zhang Ming's illusion instantly dissipated, and the real Yue Feng burst out of the illusion. Thousand Magnet raised his hand to Yue Feng and used gravity to pull Yue Feng, causing Yue Feng to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

However, the octagonal cage was only about 20 square meters in total. No matter how Zhang Ming used illusion magic, he could only run around inside the cage. Therefore, he was quickly pulled out of his invisibility by the Lone King.

Seeing this, Li Zhengliang stepped forward, made claw-like shapes with his hands, and tried to pull on the octagonal cage, but it didn't budge.

"It looks like a domain-based skill," Xiao He explained softly, "And it's also unaffected by external factors."

"Isn't that terrible?" Han Tianyu frowned. "That idiot has absolutely no fighting ability in a head-on fight!"

"There is a little bit, though it's just a tiny bit, but..." Cui Man said with a wry smile, "What if the other side is even weaker?"

However, the Lone King in the cage had already knocked Zhang Ming to the ground with a beautiful combination of low kick followed by a jab, a straight punch, a hook, and a swing. Although Zhang Ming had a LV2 physique, he was already dizzy and disoriented after taking this punch.

"This is troublesome..." An Xiuru pursed her lips and whispered.

Although the Lone King's Superpower seems to be "forced one-on-one combat," it is actually exceptionally suitable for team battles.

This Superpower is completely unnecessary in arena battles, but it can be used to forcibly lock onto the weakest member of the opponent's team, eliminate them first, and then create a situation where there are more people than people, thus gaining an advantage.

Of course, there are two conditions for achieving this: first, one's own personal strength must be strong enough to defeat the enemy in the cage; second, one's teammates must be strong enough to withstand the enemy's teammates.

"Damn it, if that's the case, then we'll just have to defeat the other two before the Mirage Dragon is defeated." Li Zhengliang frowned, turned to Thousand Magnet and Spore Man, and then launched an attack on Spore Man.

Spore Man covered his mouth and let out a frightened scream, then patted his butt triumphantly and said provocatively, "Just kidding!"

As he patted his buttocks, a large number of spores dispersed from his body and floated in mid-air.

Li Zhengliang immediately stepped back alertly to avoid being touched by the spores, but it was too late; two spores had already attached themselves to his shoulders. Spore Man clapped his hands with a laugh, "Parasitic spores!"

A spore on Li Zhengliang's shoulder suddenly bloomed and grew into a mushroom. The mushroom began to shimmer with a faint red light and released more spores.

"This thing... is draining my internal energy," Li Zhengliang frowned, then took a deep breath. "Let's finish this quickly."

In another corner of the arena, Thousand Magnet was also entangled with Yue Feng.

"Get lost, you hot-blooded idiot." Thousand Magnet sneered. "I fucking hate people like you the most. What's with the hot-bloodedness? Only those who aren't strong enough or smart enough would act like hot-blooded idiots."

"Because I'm a man!" Yue Feng roared, throwing a punch at Thousand Magnet's chest.

Thousand Magnet raised his hand and unleashed a burst of repulsive force. Yue Feng stood still on the ground, while Thousand Magnet groaned and flew away.

"Super-strong idiot..." Thousand Magnet said irritably, raising his hand in mid-air and releasing another gravitational pull towards Yue Feng. Thousand Magnet's body suddenly stopped, while Yue Feng groaned and lunged forward.

"Oh no..." Cui Man stamped her foot anxiously, "We're exposed now!"

Thousand Magnet was on the field, also noticed this and let out an interested "Oh?"

This was all too obvious, because the gravitational and repulsive forces of the Thousand Magnet were exactly the same in magnitude, only their effects were different. When Yue Feng faced the repulsive force head-on, he remained unmoved and even sent the Thousand Magnet flying; but when faced with the gravitational force coming from behind, he staggered and fell to the ground.

The difference in defense between Yue Feng's front and back is obvious at a glance.

Although some details had been revealed before, now all the Mutant in the arena know.

Most importantly, all the pressure now falls on Li Zhengliang alone.

In the octagon, Zhang Ming was no match for Lone King in a 1v1 fight. Although Zhang Ming had received training, Lone King was clearly Mutant came from a free-fighting background. His hand-to-hand combat ability was on a completely different level from Zhang Ming's. Moreover, Zhang Ming had never experienced a 1v1 fight in this situation before and completely panicked.

Most importantly, since it's a 1v1 situation, Zhang Ming has no offensive capabilities, so no matter how elaborate his illusions are, the Lone King simply won't believe them, and his illusions will naturally be ineffective.

"Ha!" The Lone King stepped forward and threw a series of Fist Pressure Zhang Ming to the ground. He then immediately straddled Zhang Ming and grabbed his wrist: once grabbed, no amount of illusion magic would work.

After wrestling on the ground for a while, the two flipped over, and then the Lone King pinned Zhang Ming, locking his right hand in the Lone King's Lone King. The Lone King then twisted and broke Zhang Ming's arm.

"Ahhh!" Zhang Ming screamed in pain, clutching his arm. Lone King got up and delivered a front kick to Zhang Ming's face.

Zhang Ming was kicked and rolled several times on the ground before passing out, and the octagon cage was disarmed.

"So weak... In the end, apart from Yinglong, there's no one else who can fight." The Lone King spat.

While Zhang Ming was being thoroughly beaten, Yue Feng was also being toyed with by Thousand Magnet.

"You son of a bitch, if you're so capable, let's settle this head-on!" Yue Feng said, panting.

Thousand Magnet covered his mouth and sneered, "What? You're an idiot for saying that? No wonder you're so passionate. Like I said, passionate guys are either weaklings or idiots."

"Pah!" Yue Feng spat, then squatted down, assumed a fighting stance, and charged towards Thousand Magnet with his feet firmly planted on the ground.

Thousand Magnet reached out and released a repulsive force to the ground, propelling himself into the air to avoid Yue Feng's attack. Just as Yue Feng passed beneath him, he raised his hand and released another repulsive force behind Yue Feng. His repulsive and gravitational forces had an interval of action when targeting the same target, but they could be used repeatedly against different targets.

Yue Feng was shoved headfirst to the ground by the blow, kicking up a cloud of dust and gravel. Thousand Magnet, on the other hand, landed lightly on the ground, laughing triumphantly, "Haha, look at your stupid face, it suits you perfectly!"

As he spoke, Thousand Magnet turned around and looked at Zhang Ming, who had been knocked down behind him. "Very good, one's taken care of..."

But the next instant, a gigantic figure emerged from the smoke and dust. "In the middle of a battle, what the hell are you looking at?"

Thousand Magnet was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, and Yue Feng clenched his fists and slammed them down hard.

The word "death!" flashed through Thousand Magnet's mind; he knew he was going to die.

But a heavy thud followed, and Yue Feng's body shuddered violently before crashing to the ground. Lone King appeared behind Yue Feng, giving Thousand Magnet a disdainful glare. "If this guy hadn't deliberately waited for you to turn around before attacking, you'd be dead. He may be an idiot, but he has his own principles. Tell me, what right does trash like you have to look down on him?"

Thousand Magnet's face flushed red, and he said angrily, "I'm trash!? Then what about you! What are you anyway!"

"Want to have a go?" the Lone King asked coldly. "You know my abilities; no one can stop us from a one-on-one duel."

"Um..." Thousand Magnet's face immediately darkened, and after stammering for a moment, he whispered, "You fucking remember this..."

At this moment, only Li Zhengliang remained on the Dragon Country team. He tossed the Spore Man aside, turned to Thousand Magnet and Lone King in front of him, and frowned, saying, "This is troublesome... 1v2 might be a bit difficult."

"It's 1v3, huh?" Spore Man behind him grinned wickedly, standing up from the ground again. The spores on his body emitted a green glow, seemingly healing his injuries.

"Phew... what a persistent guy." Li Zhengliang shook his head and sighed, then re-established his stance, preparing to use the Wave-Treading Steps.

Although he can share his skills with others, he can also take them back after the fight, which is his greatest strength as a support character.

Li Zhengliang, using the Wave-Treading Steps a martial arts technique), swiftly arrived in front of Lone King and struck him in the chest with both palms. Lone King raised his arms to protect his chest, blocking the two blows, but was still forced back several steps. Taking advantage of the situation, Li Zhengliang pressed his index and middle fingers together on several acupoints on Lone King's body. Lone King froze on the spot, as if petrified.

"Acupoint-Sealing Art! Beautiful!" Li Xue exclaimed with delight. "Control one first, then find a way to take down the other quickly. A 1v2 situation still has a chance! That uncle's individual skills are very well-rounded!"

Li Zhengliang clearly thought the same thing, so after he struck the Lone King's pressure points, he immediately attacked Thousand Magnet.

Thousand Magnet raised his hand and unleashed a repulsive force, but Li Zhengliang used his Wave-Treading Steps) to circle around Thousand Magnet for half a turn, then raised both fists from behind Qian Thousand Magnet and punched towards Thousand Magnet's back. The shadow of an ape appeared behind Li Zhengliang.

If this Ape Arm strike hits Thousand Magnet, it will surely render him immobile!

However, before Li Zhengliang could land his punches, he suddenly coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, and collapsed to the ground. Spore Man hopped over to Li Zhengliang, stepped on his face, and laughed, "Hey, I told you it was about time it took to take effect. You, are you a bit special? It took so long for my poisonous spores to work."

As he spoke, Spore Man continued to stomp on Li Zhengliang's face, sneering, "You made me take so many beatings for nothing, I even vomited blood! You lowly yellow-skinned pig! I'm a noble white man! How dare you touch me with your filthy fists! Trash, sick man of East Asia!"

"You... who are you calling the Sick Man of East Asia!?" Li Zhengliang stood up from the ground with lightning speed and struck Spore Man in the chest with a palm, but the spore on his shoulder exploded.

"Boom!" The yellowish-green mist exploded, and Li Zhengliang fell to the ground again, coughing violently.

"Idiot, trash!" Spore Man continued to stomp on Li Zhengliang's face and mocked, "Get up! Weren't you so awesome?!"

"Never mind, never mind," Thousand Magnet waved his hand and laughed, then glanced at Yue Feng behind him and said with a smile, "They have no real strength, yet they like to stick to some foolish ideas; that's what these yellow-skinned pigs have in common."

"Tsk... You two are trash, talking like you two won this game." As a Black man Lone King was naturally very dissatisfied with their remarks. "Wasn't it thanks to me?"

"Speaking of which, the match isn't over yet, is it? This guy hasn't given up." Spore Man said, stepping on Li Zhengliang's head.

Li Zhengliang was still struggling, trying to expel the poison from his body using his internal energy. If he could just hold on a little longer...

But Spore Man didn't give him any more time; instead, he suddenly raised his foot and stomped down on Li Zhengliang's head.

Strangely, the next moment Spore Man flew into the air, spun like a top, and crashed to the ground.

"Huh?" Thousand Magnet was stunned for a moment, but the next moment a chill ran down his spine. He was afraid to look back because he felt as if he was being stared at by a bloodthirsty beast. If he turned his head, he would be eaten. His instincts were screaming at him not to turn around and to run away quickly.

But Thousand Magnet swallowed hard and ultimately turned away.

Xiao He stood behind him, his left hand on Li Zhengliang's shoulder, Yue Feng slung over his right shoulder, and Zhang Ming on his back. Behind him seemed to burn with raging fury, as if demons were howling. Thousand Magnet involuntarily took a step back. "Yinglong..."

"You two," Xiao He said with a friendly smile to Thousand Magnet and Spore Man, "You'll be playing in the next match, right? Definitely, it's a deal."

His tone was so gentle, almost like a whisper to a lover, yet Thousand Magnet and Spore Man broke out in a cold sweat, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

But Xiao He made no further move; he simply took three people, moved swiftly, and disappeared from the scene.
