Odd Containment Specialist.

The flaws seen in Chapter 966

Even in a contest of spell power, Xia Shou had absolutely no confidence.

Xia Shou's previous skills generally did not require the consumption of spell power. What required spell power were the superpowers borrowed from the Superpower Bank and his own [text descriptions]. The consumption of spell power for other skills was mostly replaced by a cost.

He had never encountered a situation that required testing the power of his spells.

Sprite, however, is different from him. As the pinnacle of the Scar Age and the ruler of a nation, he must have faced countless challenges. His curse power and ability to sustain combat must be guaranteed; otherwise, even a human wave tactic could overwhelm him.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Sprite's total magical power and its efficiency in utilization must be ridiculously strong!

Numerous, incalculable, fine slashes swept around Xia Shou's body, cutting the Satisfaction Mask into pieces and leaving it shattered. However, the Satisfaction Mask maintained its basic outline, and even when damaged, it was not completely destroyed.

Xia Shou used his flame-formed body to touch the other party, and all the burns turned into scars, were absorbed, and then casually released.

"How long can you maintain this?" Spreadt asked expressionlessly.

"Who knows, until you die?" Fireman sneered.

Sprite: "The essential difference in power lies in the realm of divinity. Without the knowledge of the origin, you cannot even touch me. Do you think you still have a chance of winning?"

Xia Shou remained silent, focusing solely on burning the opponent with intense fire while simultaneously using textual descriptions to observe the opponent's true nature.

At this moment, Xia Shou's level has reached its limit under the blessing of Scorpion Spine, reaching LV5. The [text description] has also changed accordingly with the increase in level. Just like when he fought Glendale, he began to be able to see some things that are not visible to the naked eye.

In his eyes, the air was filled with words.

Slash, slash, slash, slash...

Dense text of "slashing" rushed towards him like video bullets at hundreds of times the speed, piercing his body like bullets and flying into the distance. Xia Shou's vision was filled with endless text, which disappeared and reconstructed as his attention shifted.

Then, he also saw Sprite's condition. He saw that Sprite's head was covered by a strange thing called a "one-second buffer zone for the body's influence on the mind."

I don't quite understand.

As Xia Shou focused his attention, more detailed textual descriptions emerged: [All effects suffered by the body will arrive at the mind with a one-second delay].

Xia Shou understood and suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's why he didn't instantly kill Sprite when he first burned his blood into fire!
Sprite's forbidden knowledge can transform damage that has already occurred into damage that has already occurred but has not yet landed. This transformation can almost make her immune to all attacks, but the prerequisite for doing so is that someone must use this forbidden knowledge.

When Xia Shou first ambushed Sprite, he directly used the Blood Burning Technique to turn the opponent's blood into flames. However, this thorough attack, which covered almost every corner of the body, was still converted by the opponent.

At that time, Xia Shou had a question: why hadn't Sprite lost consciousness even though the blood in her brain had turned into fire? And how could she still activate Forbidden Sense?
At the time, I only thought that Sprite might have cultivated to the point where he could passively use his abilities, just like Ke Zitong, and could immediately convert damage as long as he wasn't completely dead.

But now Xia Shou knows that it was Sprite who could sense the head injury a second later. So even if his brain was burned out in that instant, he could still think normally and use forbidden senses to eliminate the damage that had already occurred and turn it into a scar that had not yet appeared!
This is truly a major discovery!

The King of Rift's weakness has finally been revealed! The effects of the physical body reach the mind a second later. If that's the case, as long as we can create an attack that lasts longer than two seconds, causing the opponent to completely lose all consciousness, we can kill Sprite!
The impact of physical damage on the mind is only delayed, not eliminated.

If it exceeds two seconds, even if Spright recovers from all his injuries, he will still have to endure a period of unconsciousness of more than two seconds.

As the first second passes, Sprite will begin to pay the price of two seconds of unconsciousness.

If a completely fatal attack were to be launched at this moment, Sprite would be unable to react to the damage for the next two seconds, as his consciousness would be blank for two seconds!
When the second second passed, the loss of consciousness and the damage from the second attack arrived simultaneously. At this point, Spright had a fatal wound, and his consciousness was still not clear. The fatal wound continued to prevent him from regaining consciousness.

Reaching this moment means that Sprite's spirit has completely died.

This way, Sprite will be completely dead!
But this brief excitement quickly cooled down.

While the winning theory is simple and easy to understand, putting it into practice is incredibly difficult.

Sprite wasn't a sitting duck. Let alone lasting two seconds, even a full-blown burn from burning blood would be transformed in the blink of an eye.

The test for Xia Shou now is not whether he can kill Sprite instantly, but what kind of attack will make Sprite take two seconds to convert.

It seems... no attack can accomplish that.

Xia Shou stretched out his hand and suddenly unleashed flames. A surge of flames burst forth from his palm and was split in two in front of Sprite.

The elemental body can reassemble after being cut, but the control over the flames it spews out drops sharply, making it easy to be cut apart by the opponent's power, and even after being cut apart, it cannot be reassembled.

On the other hand, the distance also played a role. He had witnessed Xiao Gao using flames before, and the power, range, and intensity of those flames were far beyond what he could achieve at this moment.

The same superpower, but the effects of his use were much weaker in all aspects.

This level of attack is insufficient to kill Sprite; let alone a two-second duration, he couldn't even manage a single instant kill!
In fact, Xia Shou has quite a few instant-kill techniques. When he wears a mask, he can achieve an instant-kill effect with his "Perpetual Injury" skill, while "Owl's Blood Boiling" can be refined so that he can make the blood of those around him boil with a snap of his fingers.

However, these abilities are all directly effective against the target and require the user to be at the same level as the target, and there is an insurmountable gap between him and Sprite.

If only we could unlock the pinnacle of achievement.

But neither external nor internal conditions allowed him to reach the pinnacle.

The depth of the Origin Sea is at its limit; to match Sprite's depth, one wonders how many meters would be required.
They might be killed by the consequences.

And even if we can pay the price? With so many people watching, how will we end things if we win?

He no longer has a chance to experience the waning moon.
