As Number Three Zhou Tai was shocked by how quickly Yu Xian had grown stronger, Yu Xian was equally stunned by Number Three Zhou Tai's rate of growth.
If Number Three Zhou Tai still had the strength he had when they met at school, Yu Xian could have dealt with him in seconds. But now, no matter how Yu Xian attacked, Number Three Zhou Tai seemed to know what was coming and easily dodged.
Compared to Number Five Zhou Tai, Number Three Zhou Tai was clearly much harder to deal with.
"Big brother, eat my tree!"
Number Three Zhou Tai leaped from the ground onto a tree, then from one tree to another.
He suddenly turned and kicked the trunk in half. Then, with another kick, he sent the upper half of the tree flying at Yu Xian.
"Perfect opportunity!"
Yu Xian's eyes lit up. He let the tree slam into the Bubble protecting him, then immediately controlled the Bubbles to crash toward Number Three Zhou Tai, who was suspended in midair with nowhere to brace himself.
"I bounce!"
Number Three Zhou Tai's eye sockets twitched. He stepped on one Bubble and, using its elasticity, rapidly dodged the others. His body instantly slipped through them and landed atop a tree on the other side.
"He can see through the Bubbles' properties!"
Yu Xian frowned slightly. He had not expected his little trick to give Number Three Zhou Tai an opening instead.
In truth, the many Bubbles he created were not all hard. Among them were sticky Bubbles, elastic Bubbles, and even corrosive Bubbles.
Yu Xian had originally intended to use the Bubbles' special properties to give Number Three Zhou Tai a little surprise, but Number Three Zhou Tai had seen through it.
He had even accurately identified the elastic Bubbles and used them to his advantage.
"So that's how it is. So this is how my eyes are used."
Number Three Zhou Tai stood on a branch, the corners of his mouth gradually rising as excitement made him slightly carried away.
In his eyes, every Bubble was different. Some gave off a foul stench, some constantly vibrated, and some looked sticky and gooey.
When he kicked down the tree just now, it had not been to attack Yu Xian at all. He had used the leaves and wood chips to quietly experiment and determine the effects of the different Bubbles.
The foul-smelling Bubbles were corrosive. The sticky, gooey Bubbles had tremendous adhesive power—once stuck to one, it was over. The vibrating Bubbles, meanwhile, were elastic.
He had seen it all clearly!
Demon Eye!
This was the demonic ability he had obtained.
While Demon Eye distorted the world, it also revealed certain true pieces of information that normally could not be seen.
This was the so-called Truth in Falsehood.
For example, the monster Number Three Zhou Tai saw on Yu Xian was false, but the fact that Yu Xian was constantly feeding was true. Plato's Republic looking like hell was false, but the fact that the Republic had been born from mountains of corpses and seas of blood was true.
How one distinguished truth from falsehood depended entirely on the wisdom of the Demon Eye's user.
Clearly, Number Three Zhou Tai had begun to adapt to Demon Eye and was finding real, useful information amid countless unreal images.
"I see it! I see everything!"
Number Three Zhou Tai twisted his waist to dodge the Bubble's attacks. His mouth split into a grin full of sharp teeth.
He suddenly spun, punching one Bubble. Then he raised a leg to avoid the attacks of many Bubbles, leaned his body back, and kicked the Bubble he had just punched.
Spin, attack, dodge, spin again, attack again.
They were only tiny movements, yet they effectively avoided Yu Xian's attacks. Finally, amid his dense counterattacks, Number Three Zhou Tai shattered one of Yu Xian's Bubbles with a punch.
The entire process had been incredibly fast, taking only one or two seconds.
In Yu Xian's eyes, Number Three Zhou Tai had merely spun at high speed, yet he had somehow evaded Yu Xian's attacks and even launched a rapid series of counterattacks. Just like that, one Bubble was destroyed.
"Big brother, from here on, offense and defense have switched!"
Suddenly, Number Three Zhou Tai darted out through the Bubbles, and the scales on his body made a strange sound.
Boom!
Before Yu Xian could react, Number Three Zhou Tai suddenly closed in and landed a punch on the Bubble protecting him. Ripples immediately spread across its surface.
A beat later, Yu Xian's pupils contracted violently. The feeling of being hunted down by Number Three Zhou Tai at school returned.
His mind raced as his gaze fell on one of the Bubbles. It was sticky, and a scale was stuck to its surface. In an instant, he understood how Number Three Zhou Tai had moved in front of him so quickly.
Number Three Zhou Tai had first used an elastic Bubble to accelerate himself, then paid the price of one scale to alter his angle of attack with a sticky Bubble.
Combining the two, Number Three Zhou Tai had instantly closed in from an unexpected angle, so fast that Yu Xian could not react.
His own offensive methods had been used against him instead...
With a thought from Yu Xian, all the sticky and elastic Bubbles around him rapidly withdrew, while more hard Bubbles swiftly chased after Number Three Zhou Tai as he retreated after one strike.
"Useless, big brother. I've seen through all your tricks."
As Number Three Zhou Tai watched Yu Xian retract those elastic and sticky Bubbles, he dodged the attacks of numerous hard Bubbles and smiled at Yu Xian.
Just as he said, Yu Xian's attacks could no longer threaten him.
The hard Bubbles had tremendous attack power, but Number Three Zhou Tai could predict all of their trajectories. He could even step onto one and let it carry him along.
Yet Yu Xian's expression did not change. He continued controlling large numbers of hard Bubbles to attack from different angles, as though he had run out of options.
Boom!
To prove that he was right, Number Three Zhou Tai began counterattacking frequently even as he dodged, punch after punch landing on the Bubble protecting Yu Xian.
Unfortunately, his attack frequency was not high enough, so there was no way he could break Yu Xian's protective Bubble.
Moreover, Yu Xian clearly would not give him that chance. The moment he attacked, the surrounding Bubbles would immediately close in. If he did not run, only death awaited him. But running meant all his efforts would come to nothing.
The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, as though neither could do anything to the other.
Number Three Zhou Tai had already adapted to the rhythm of being attacked by large numbers of hard Bubbles. He smoothly dodged dozens of Bubbles shooting toward him from different angles, pushed off with his feet, and leaped into the air. Stepping on several hard Bubbles, he instantly launched himself in front of Yu Xian and punched at the Bubble.
Though he could not break the Bubble, this was only a game to begin with. As long as he could counterattack, it meant he had not lost.
But just as he threw this punch, Yu Xian spread both hands. In an instant, countless silver threads shot from his fingertips. The two were far too close now, less than thirty centimeters apart.
Number Three Zhou Tai's eye sockets trembled. His scarlet eyes seemed to see the Grim Reaper swinging a scythe at him.
In an instant, silver threads bound his body into the shape of a mummy. If there had only been one or two threads, he might have been able to break free. But now, densely packed silver threads wrapped around his body, leaving him able to do nothing but wriggle like a worm.
"What? Did you forget I still had this ability?" Yu Xian asked with a smile as he looked at Number Three Zhou Tai.
After realizing that the Bubbles could do nothing to Number Three Zhou Tai, he had come up with this plan. As long as Number Three Zhou Tai became complacent, Yu Xian was ninety percent confident he could capture him alive.
Clearly, he had won this contest!
