Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 267 This will be a battle between biological intelligence and mechanical precision!
After saying that, his figure vanished from the spot again, his speed more than twice as fast as before. The next moment, he appeared behind Rong Jun and delivered a chop to the back of his neck.

Sensing danger, Rong Jun immediately turned to block. This time, when his arm collided with Ryan's hand chop, a bloody gash appeared! Ryan's hand chop was truly like the sharpest blade, slicing through Rong Jun's incredibly tough skin.

"Interesting!" Rong Jun was not alarmed at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited, his fighting spirit burning even brighter. "Finally, you can hurt me! It's been so long since I've felt blood; it's truly something to miss!"

Ryan ignored Rong Jun's words and continued his attack. His figure flickered across the arena like a ghost, inflicting a wound on Rong Jun with each appearance. Although these wounds were insignificant to a behemoth like Rong Jun, they would eventually have an effect over time.

"Those wretched little bugs," Rong Jun began to grumble, "always hiding, afraid to confront us head-on?"

Ryan's voice came from all directions: "This is tactics, barbarian. Utilizing your own strengths and attacking the opponent's weaknesses—this is the most basic principle of combat."

Rong Jun laughed angrily, "Well said! Then let me see if your advantages can withstand my full-force attack!"

After saying that, he suddenly roared, and all the muscles in his body instantly swelled up, his skin turning an eerie red. At the same time, a visible energy field appeared around him, his domain unfolding.

"Savage Slaughtering Combat Technique - Berserk Domain!"

A powerful surge of energy erupted from Rong Jun's body, forming a visible red energy field. This field rapidly expanded, covering the entire arena. Within this domain, the air became viscous, as if an invisible pressure enveloped every inch of space.

Ryan immediately sensed the difference—his speed had been significantly reduced. His once lightning-fast movements had become much slower, as if he were walking on water.

"What is this?" Ryan asked in surprise, feeling his body become unusually heavy.

Rong Jun revealed a ferocious smile: "This is my 'Berserk Domain.' Within this domain, all speed will be drastically reduced, while strength will be amplified. Now, let's see what you can do without your speed advantage!"

With that, he leaped forward, his massive body like a moving mountain, hurtling towards Ryan. Enhanced by the "Raging Domain," his power was further amplified, each step causing the arena to tremble.

Ryan tried to dodge, but under the influence of the "Raging Domain", his speed was much slower than before. He could only barely avoid Rong Jun's frontal attack, but he was still grazed by the opponent's fist wind and was knocked several meters away.

"How does it feel, Shadow Clan brat?" Rong Jun laughed loudly. "Now you know the limitations of speed, don't you? Before absolute power, all techniques are futile!"

Ryan struggled to his feet, several cracks appearing on his silver-gray skin—marks of the shockwaves from Rong Jun's attack. He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Is that so? Then let me see if your so-called 'absolute power' can defeat this!"

After he finished speaking, his body suddenly burst forth with dazzling silver light, and he seemed to transform into a flowing galaxy. At the same time, the space around him began to distort, forming a special field that clashed with Rong Jun's "Raging Domain".

"Shadow Clan Secret Technique: Shadow Speed ​​Overdrive!"

As Ryan finished speaking, his body suddenly vanished from the spot, so fast that the air didn't even have time to fill the space he left behind, creating a small vacuum area.

"Shadow Clan Secret Technique: Shadow Speed ​​Overdrive!"

As Ryan finished speaking, his body suddenly vanished from the spot, so fast that the air didn't even have time to fill the space he left behind, creating a small vacuum area.

The next moment, he appeared before Rong Jun, his silver-gray hand like the sharpest blade, aimed straight for the opponent's throat. The speed of this strike was astonishing, reaching a level unimaginable to ordinary people even under the influence of the "Berserk Domain".

However, Rong Jun's reaction was equally astonishing. Just as Ryan's palm was about to touch his throat, his entire upper body suddenly leaned back, dodging the fatal blow with incredible flexibility. At the same time, his right fist, like a cannonball, struck Ryan's chest.

Ryan sensed the danger and barely managed to dodge to the side, but Rong Jun's fist still grazed his shoulder. Even though it was just a graz, the terrifying force sent Ryan flying dozens of meters, crashing heavily into the energy barrier at the edge of the arena.

"Hahaha!" Rong Jun laughed, his fighting spirit intensifying. "Not bad, kid! Your 'Shadow Speed' can indeed break through my 'Berserk Domain' to some extent. But that's far from enough!"

Ryan slid off the energy barrier and struggled to his feet. Several cracks had appeared on his silver-gray skin, especially on his shoulder where Rong Jun had grazed him; it had almost completely lost its metallic luster and returned to its original translucent state.

"Your 'Shadow Speed' is powerful, but it also consumes a great deal of energy," Rong Jun commented, his eyes gleaming with insight. "You can no longer maintain your entire body in its metallic state, can you?"

Ryan smiled slightly, not denying it: "That's true. But I still have enough energy for one last strike. Let's see who has the last laugh!"

After he finished speaking, his body erupted with dazzling silver light once more, but this time, all the light was concentrated on his right arm. His right arm became even more metallic than before, radiating a chillingly sharp aura.

"Shadow Clan Forbidden Technique - The End of Shadows!"

Ryan vanished again, but this time, he was faster than ever before, almost reaching sub-light speed. Sparks flew as he moved, creating a visible silver streak.

Rong Jun sensed immense danger and immediately activated the "Berserk Domain" with all his might. At the same time, his right fist was covered with a strange red energy.

"Slaying Barbarian Ultimate Technique - World-Destroying Punch!"

Ryan suddenly appeared in front of Rong Jun, his metallized right arm like the sharpest blade, aimed straight for the opponent's heart. At the same time, Rong Jun's world-destroying punch met it with overwhelming force.

"boom--!"

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the arena. The powerful energy shockwave spread outwards, even causing slight fluctuations in the energy barrier above the stands.

As the dust settled, everyone was astonished to find Rong Jun still standing firmly in place, though a deep, bone-revealing wound gushed from his chest. Ryan, on the other hand, had been sent flying hundreds of meters, crashing heavily to the other end of the ring, unconscious. His right arm had completely lost its metallic state, reverting to a semi-transparent appearance, but its surface was covered with horrific scars, clearly inflicted by Rong Jun's "World-Destroying Punch."

"The match is over! Rong Jun of the Tu Man clan has won!" the referee announced, his voice filled with undisguised shock. Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the stands. This ultimate clash of strength and speed left a deep impression on everyone.

Rong Jun walked to Ryan's side and bent down to check his injuries. After confirming that Ryan was only unconscious and not in mortal danger, he nodded in satisfaction and then said to the arriving medical personnel, "Take good care of him; he's a respectable opponent."

After saying that, he turned and left the arena, leaving behind a trail of blood that drew a shocking red line.

"Incredible!" Rowan exclaimed in shock. "Rong Jun's power is simply unimaginable. Ryan's 'Shadow's End,' such a powerful attack, only left a wound on his chest."

Thor nodded: "That's the terrifying aspect of the Barbarian Slaughterers. Their physical strength far surpasses ordinary people's imagination, and coupled with Rong Jun's own cultivation and combat talent, he is practically invincible."

Hong remained calm: "Everyone has weaknesses. Rong Jun is strong, but not invincible. He's very effective against speed-based opponents, but if he encounters an opponent who also excels in strength, or someone with special abilities, the outcome might be different."

Luo Feng pondered, "If I were to encounter him, how should I react?"

Hong glanced at Luo Feng: "Your fighting style is versatile. You can rely on your innate domain for high-speed movement and attacks, or you can use the Golden Void Fusion Law for special attacks. The key to dealing with Rong Jun is not to be completely restricted by his 'Berserk Domain,' but to maintain your own fighting rhythm."

Luo Feng nodded, keeping these suggestions in mind. As one of the best among Earthlings, he longed to prove his strength in this cosmic arena.

"Speaking of Luo Feng's match," Thor suddenly remembered something, "aren't you going to be playing soon?"

Luo Feng nodded in confirmation: "Yes, tomorrow is my match. My opponent is a powerful figure from the 'Mechanical Empire,' named Mechanic Number 8."

Rowan asked curiously, "The Mechanical Empire? What kind of power is that?"

Hong explained, "The Mechanical Empire is a unique civilization in the universe. They have perfectly combined their consciousness and bodies with machines, creating a completely new form of life. They possess both the thinking and creativity of living beings and the precision and durability of machines. In some areas, they even surpass ordinary living beings."

Thor added, "Especially that Mechanic 8; he's said to be the latest generation of combat units from the Mechanical Empire, possessing extremely strong adaptability and combat capabilities."

A flicker of excitement crossed Luo Feng's eyes: "Sounds like a challenging opponent. I look forward to fighting him."

The four continued watching the other matches of the day, but none were as exciting as the duel between Rong Jun and Ryan. After the day's matches, they returned to their suite to prepare for Luo Feng's match the next day.

"According to the data, Mechanic No. 8's fighting style is extremely flexible," Luo Feng said as he analyzed. "He can quickly adjust his tactics and equipment based on the characteristics of his opponent. This is a unique advantage of the Mechanic Empire's warriors."

Hong nodded: "That's right. The greatest characteristic of the Mechanical Empire's warriors is their adaptability. You need to prepare multiple countermeasures; you can't rely on just one tactic."

Luo Wen asked curiously, "Brother Luo Feng, which fighting style do you plan to use? Your innate domain or the Golden Void Fusion Law?"

Luo Feng smiled slightly: "I will use both. My fighting style has always been flexible and adaptable, adjusting to the situation on the battlefield. However, I will first use my innate domain to test my opponent's strength and reaction before deciding whether to use the Golden Void Fusion Law."

Thor patted Luo Feng on the shoulder: "Good strategy! However, I heard that this Mechanic No. 8 has a special energy absorption device that can absorb and convert various energy attacks. If your Golden Void Fusion Law is used improperly, it might be exploited by him."

Luo Feng nodded: "I'll be careful. Thanks for the reminder."

The four discussed until late at night, finally finalizing Luo Feng's battle strategy. Afterwards, they each went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for tomorrow's match.

The four of them headed to the arena early the next morning. It was Luo Feng's match day, and they got up earlier than usual, hoping to have enough time to make final preparations.

"How are you feeling, Luo Feng?" Hong asked on the way to the arena.

Luo Feng smiled slightly: "Very good. I meditated all night last night, and my state has been adjusted to its best."

Thor patted Luo Feng on the shoulder: "Relax, kid! Remember, this is just a game, not a life-or-death battle. Just do your best, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Luo Wen also encouraged him, "Brother Luo Feng, I believe you will definitely achieve victory!"

Luo Feng looked at the three of them gratefully: "With your support, I have even more confidence."

When they arrived at the arena, the match hadn't started yet, but people were already beginning to take their seats in the stands. As one of the best among Earthlings, Luo Feng also had a certain degree of fame in the universe, especially among viewers familiar with Earth's history, he was practically a legend.

"Next up is the seventh match of the second round," the announcer's voice echoed throughout the arena, "Earthling Luo Feng versus Mechanic No. 8 of the Mechanical Empire! This will be a clash between biological intelligence and mechanical precision! Let's wait and see!"

As the host finished speaking, information about the two contestants was displayed on the holographic projection:
Luo Feng, an Earthling, has mastered the Innate Domain and the Golden Void Fusion Law, and is hailed as one of the most talented martial artists in Earth's history.

Mechanic No. 8 is the latest generation of combat units of the Mechanic Empire, possessing extremely strong adaptability and combat capabilities, and equipped with the most advanced weapon systems.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers. The two fighters walked into the ring from different entrances, sparking another round of cheers.

Luo Feng was quite handsome: tall and muscular, with a resolute face and eyes that revealed determination and confidence. He wore a combat suit specially made by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, the dark blue fabric adorned with starlight-like decorations. He didn't carry any obvious weapons, but that was because his most powerful weapons were his own body and his understanding of the laws.
