The crimson electronic numbers gradually returned to zero, and the bio-beasts of the third Battle of Transcendence were awakened.
Unlike the previous two bio-beasts that immediately attacked upon awakening, this bio-beast chose to linger at the edge of the octagonal cage. The rhombus-shaped blue crystal on its forehead flickered with light, and an invisible wave of psychic power, like an undercurrent in the Nightfall, emanated from the crystal and silently enveloped it.
This fluctuation is extremely subtle. If Divine Power and perception are not strong enough, it is difficult to detect. Once enveloped by it, one will be forced into a state of mental exhaustion, with a continuous decline in attention and a significant reduction in combat power.
If Lancelot chooses to charge immediately, he will be like a moth drawn to a flame, willingly walking into a trap.
Although bio-engineered beasts have low intelligence, they are implanted with various tactics and combat skills at birth, enabling them to handle a variety of complex situations independently, making them difficult to deal with.
However, Lancelot remained vigilant throughout. As soon as the battle began, he activated Flow Method, maintaining a state of Heightened Focus and extending his enhanced perception outwards, forming a spherical perception area with a radius of about 3 meters centered on himself.
Melee fighters generally have a small sensory field, but their perception accuracy and acuity are extremely high, enabling them to detect the most minute movements.
The moment that invisible wave of psychic energy entered his perception range, Lancelot immediately noticed it. Based on his extensive combat experience, after a brief analysis of its effects, Lancelot's eyes flickered, and he formulated a plan.
He pretended not to notice anything and strode towards the bio-beast, while in reality, his Divine Power condensed into a thin barrier in his mind.
Although his mental attribute is only 8 points, its quality is very high, and with the added benefit of the passive talent [Tenacious Will], he is completely immune to the telekinetic control of the bio-beasts.
But in order to confuse the bio-beast, he deliberately pretended to be dizzy and his steps became unsteady.
"Oh no! This bio-beast has mind control abilities, Tier Three mind control! Lancelot can't hold on!" Jace jumped up from his seat, his healing energy ready, prepared to rush into the octagon to rescue Lancelot.
If even their own people were misled, the bio-beasts would be even less able to discern Lancelot's true intentions.
However, it was extremely cunning, not attacking directly, but instead using its slender tail to sweep out pale blue energy blades from a distance.
Within thirty meters, these energy blades were no less lethal than bullets fired from a large-caliber sniper rifle. Despite activating his Body of Steel, Lancelot was still torn open with bloody wounds.
Faced with the attack, Lancelot tried to dodge, but due to his 'diminished' attention and slowed reaction, he was repeatedly injured by the bio-beasts' attacks.
To mislead the bio-beasts, Lancelot even put on an extremely angry expression, seemingly overwhelmed by rage and losing his reason.
Faced with this situation, even though the beast-like bio-engineered creature was extremely cunning and cautious, it ultimately believed in its own telekinetic control, which worked.
It no longer hesitated, but arched its back, shifted its center of gravity backward, lowered its tail slightly, and the pale blue energy circuits on its skin lit up one after another like neon lights. Eight sharp blades popped out from the pads of its paws, and blue energy surged in a serrated pattern at the Renfeng, gleaming coldly.
Whoosh!
The bio-beast vanished from the spot.
An uproar erupted in the audience; their naked eyes could no longer capture such a swift movement.
"They've finally arrived!" Lancelot's eyelids drooped.
What if the enemy is faster than you?
A rash charge will only lead to certain death; remaining still and waiting for the right moment is the best strategy.
"Body of Steel, Full Power, Limit Activation!"
At this moment, Lancelot held nothing back, unleashing the full power of his Ability Energy for the first time.
His genetic chain trembled, and Transcendent power surged from his cells, as if turning stone into gold or earth into steel. Under the blessing of this power, his body transformed from flesh into a "Body of Steel" in an instant!
A genuine Body of Steel!
With a Constitution increase of 15 to 24 points, physical defense increased by 200%, and health regeneration speed increased by 25%, these bonuses combined grant Lancelot the formidable power to dominate the Tier Three.
"Aww~"
The moment his Ability Energy were activated, the bio-beast's claws touched Lancelot's chest, and a low roar, similar to a tiger's howl, echoed in his ears.
Bang!
A swift iron hand shot out, grasping the sharp claws in its palm, unafraid of their edge. Then, it twisted the hand outwards and pulled hard, causing blood to gush from where the claws had been pulled, splattering onto Lancelot's face.
At the same time, taking advantage of the bio-beast's sluggish movements due to pain, Lancelot stepped forward with his right foot, lowered his center of gravity, and his entire body's steel muscles surged like waves, eventually all converging on his right shoulder.
Who says the Hadoken has to be done with your fist?
You can use your shoulder!
Thump!!
The bio-beasts came quickly and left even faster.
Under Lancelot's all-out attack, he was transformed into a shooting star, crashing heavily into the energy barrier of the octagonal cage, breaking his bones and tendons.
This guy was a high-agility, high-attack type, but his defense wasn't very strong. Lancelot's smooth little combo almost took him down.
Even if it hadn't died yet, it was severely injured. Struggling and roaring, it stood up, its scarlet beast eyes filled with a bewildered confusion: how come this human wasn't being controlled?
Lancelot certainly didn't have time to answer that question. The shorter the time it took to activate his Body of Steel to its limit, the less strain it would put on his body, so he had to hurry.
Bang!
Its body shot out like an arrow and crashed heavily to the ground like a meteor. The bio-beast dragged its mangled body to dodge. After all, it was a speed-type, and even though it was severely injured and its bones were almost broken, it still had super-fast movement speed.
Inside the octagonal cage, the rapid movements of the human and the beast created dozens of afterimages, too numerous for the audience to discern with the naked eye. They couldn't even distinguish the real creature, let alone watch them fight.
The arena had to slow down the footage so that viewers could see the battle scenes, which were delayed by several times.
As two figures, one in black and one in blue, passed each other time and again, the audience's gasps rose higher and higher with each exquisite Slaughter technique and the repeated collisions of flesh and blood, and the atmosphere became increasingly heated.
Two minutes later, Lancelot expressionlessly withdrew his fist from the bio-beast's head. The brain matter and blood smeared on the back of his hand signaled that he had won the third Battle of Transcendence, becoming the fourth competitor in the history of this arena to achieve this Legend feat.
The audience, as if kindling had been ignited, stood up and chanted "Iron Fist"!
In another venue, Dekai is debating whether to hold a second Battle of Transcendence.
He underestimated the difficulty of the Battle of Transcendence. In the first battle against a low-to-mid-tier Tier Three bio-beast, he was almost utterly defeated.
That chilling killing intent left an extremely deep impression on Dekai.
If his Ability Energy hadn't been truly powerful, combining offense and defense, he would have at least suffered serious injuries.
It's this difficult to skip one level; imagine skipping two levels...
Dekai shuddered, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. The youthful passion in his heart quickly froze, reason returned, and he finally gritted his teeth and chose to give up on continuing to challenge the second round.
As he stepped out of the octagon, Kaladona approached him, his face no longer bearing the familiar dissolute expression, but rather quite serious. Looking at Dekai, he said in a deep voice, "Lancelot has won the third battle of the Battle of Transcendence!"
"What?" Dekai froze on the spot.
"We may be about to witness the birth of a Legendary!" Kaladona exclaimed.
Dekai felt a surge of resentment, but after glancing back at the octagon, he swallowed his words and walked sullenly toward the lounge.
At the betting area, when news of Lancelot's victory was announced again, the entire hall erupted in cheers.
Three consecutive victories in the Battle of Transcendence, Legend achievement, something no one has accomplished in many years, and today they have all become witnesses to that Legend.
"We won again?" Cole was stunned.
Burke counted on his fingers, "Seven times, 1.6 million, that's 11.2 million in Crimson Notes. I'll get 7 million, so I won't have to ask my dad for money for a year!"
"Damn it, how could I resist my gambling addiction at such a crucial moment?" Bobby slapped himself, filled with remorse.
"Do you think Lancelot will challenge for a fourth time?" At this moment, a voice rang out, and the hall fell silent.
"Probably not? A difference of four levels would mean a lower-middle-tier Tier Four- tier bio-beast. The difference between Tier Three and Tier Four is huge. Let alone this arena, even looking at all the Sade Arena in the Alliance, there are only a handful of people who can achieve that!"
"It's confirmed, Lancelot has chosen to give up!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's hearts finally settled down, especially the members of the Five Cities Special Training Camp, who had mixed feelings.
Everyone here is a newbie, so why are you so amazing?
They surged ahead of us as soon as they entered the arena, leaving us completely out of the loop. How are we supposed to have any fun after that?
