Inside Ji Donglai's internal space.

As Bai Xiaosheng's perspective shifted, Fang Can's calm face was revealed to everyone.

The sense of horror it brought was immense, sparking waves of public opinion.

"Fang Can!" Xiang Ziyu's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected that Fang Can would be among those fighting against fourth-level cultivators.

Inside the Tiger Fiend Sect, Yang Duan and Li Fengtian exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

On the Great Sword Tribulation Mountain, Jiang Ning'an watched as the person she had been thinking about day and night appeared in the live broadcast. Her originally calm expression turned slightly worried and flustered.

Inside the Suxinzhai, upon seeing Fang Can's appearance, the female cultivators subconsciously reached out their slender white fingers and began to stir!

At this moment, a series of upheavals, like tsunamis, spread throughout the various countries.

If before it was just shock that someone dared to challenge a fourth-tier player...

At that moment, he felt like he was living in a dream.

Fang Can! Who is he?
In the minds of the warriors from all nations, the inter-nation competition had just ended ten days ago.

Five days ago, according to the Bai Xiaosheng's Heavenly Secrets Ranking, he was still in the Transcendental Realm.

Just a day ago, rumors were circulating that Fang Can had been captured by a fourth-tier player from another country and was considered "untouchable."

At this moment, this chess piece, which was only at the Transcendental Body stage five days ago, is now...

At this moment, he has suddenly become a player who is directly engaged in a life-or-death game with a fourth-rank player!

Looking at the boy sitting cross-legged on the ground with his youthful face, everyone recalled a terrifying fact.

'This guy is only 18 years old, could he really be an old monster reincarnated?'

……

While the outside world is in turmoil, time is still ticking away.

Looking at the composed Yi Tianxing, Fang Can frowned deeply. Winning the game was now just the most basic requirement.

The real question is how to kill all the surrounding warriors before winning the game.

"Hey, why isn't Lao Deng, who's playing black, going down yet? A whole second's been gone!" The "Rotten King" complained, looking at the leisurely Yi Tianxing. "Does he really need to think about his first move for this long?"

“Because he’s… stalling for time!” Fang Can said slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"We are now in the martial arts world, and with Bai Xiaosheng's live broadcast as a witness, countless martial artists must be heading here."

"Time is on the other side. Once the remaining fourth-tier troops from other countries come to help, the danger will increase with each additional one."

Fang Can lowered his eyes and said, "A game of chess in the modern world often takes tens of minutes."

“Even if we win all seven games, if it takes more than ten minutes, we will be surrounded and attacked by more and more fourth-turn players.”

"Therefore, to be on the safe side, these seven games must be finished within three minutes, and before they are finished, all four-turn games on the field must be defeated."

"This...is too difficult!"

The expressions on the faces of the group, including the "Rotten Life King," changed: "Leaving aside the issue of time, if the people outside can't hit us during the game, we naturally can't hit them either."

"Who said that?" Fang Can asked, trying to keep his expression under control.

"The rules only state that when guessing who goes first and when placing a piece, one cannot leave the venue by more than 100 kilometers and cannot be harmed by external forces."

"And after the opponent makes a move, you must make your move within twice the time it took the opponent to make that move."

"In other words, as long as I play fast enough, I can force my opponent to play blitz chess with me."

"If I can reduce my total time for a game of chess to one minute, this old guy can only drag it out for two minutes at most."

"While the opponent is thinking and making a move, we can launch an attack on other martial artists."

Fang Can closed his eyes and cleared his mind, saying, "This is the reason for the turn-based combat I mentioned."

"In the next three minutes, I must finish the seven games twice as fast as my opponent to win, while also solving these four-turns in between games."

Ji Donglai nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, leave the fighting to us."

"No... I've said it many times, playing chess is the simplest."

Fang Can suddenly opened his eyes and said seriously, "Boss Ji, according to the previously agreed plan B, leave the battle against the fourth-level fighter to me as well."

“In this situation, you also need to…”

Ji Donglai hesitated only slightly before nodding earnestly and choosing to trust.

"King of Mind, you make the move!" Ji Donglai said slowly in the mental network, completely emptying his mind.

Immediately, in the next instant, Ji Donglai's expression froze, his demeanor changing from its original roughness to a calm and still one.

After Ji Donglai completely let down his guard, Fang Can successfully manipulated the body through the mental link with the Mind King.

This was the contingency plan B that Fang Can and Ji Donglai had agreed upon in advance.

If the situation changes unpredictably, Fang Can will take over the battle.

"So let's continue the fight!"

Fang Can smiled as he looked at Ji Donglai's GDP deposit amount; he had never fought such a wealthy battle before.

During the time it takes for the group to communicate, they are constrained by the rule that the first move can only be made within three seconds.

After reducing the time to 2.9 seconds, Yi Tianxing finally grabbed seven chess pieces from a distance and placed them down!
Seventeen of four, small eye—four of four, star point—four of four, star point… In an instant, a black piece was placed on each of the seven virtual chessboards in front of them.

The seven pieces fell in unison, the sound like a thunderclap, reflecting a hint of murderous intent in the eyes of all the people in the various kingdoms.

This also signifies that the turn-based battles are about to begin!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

To Yi Tianxing's astonishment, the white chess piece fell like a jade star!

Almost within 0.1 seconds of the opponent's piece being placed, Fang Can's white piece charged forward with reckless momentum.

Each time a white piece is placed, the board on which it lands emits a blinding white light.

Yi Tianxing held the chess piece formed from black energy, his knuckles turning white, and his eyes revealing a competitive spirit.

"You actually want to play blitz chess with me? Not bad, I'd like to see how you manage to win!"

Yi Tianxing's eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched the chessboard, but when he looked up, his expression went blank.

Because Ji Donglai, along with the many superpowered individuals within his inner space, had all vanished from his presence.

"Where is the person...?"

Outside the chessboard, almost the instant a piece was placed, Fang Can piloted Ji Donglai's Unit-01 and teleported out of the chessboard.

Just now, I used 0.1 seconds to make my seven moves, and my opponent had 0.2 seconds to make their move.

You must return and make your move within twice the time it takes for your opponent to make their next move!

Time was of the essence, but with Ji Donglai's teleportation ability, it wasn't impossible!
At this moment, the eyes of all the martial artists from various countries, including Xiang Hongtu, were focused on the chessboard.

Apart from the female cultivator from Suxinzhai who used Fang Can from the live stream as a spellcasting material, almost no one immediately noticed the disappearance of the superpowered individuals.

This gave Fang Can room to maneuver.

Almost instantly, Ji Donglai leaped behind Yan Chuqing, his right fist striking out like lightning.

Can you withstand this punch worth hundreds of billions of yuan?
Having already suffered at Yi Tianxing's hands, Fang Can, who had no intention of showing any mercy, chose to destroy everything as quickly as possible!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Fang Can was focused on fighting Yan Chuqing.

A piece of antimatter weighing several kilograms appeared on the back of Xiang Hongtu's neck at some unknown time.

In an instant, Xiang Hongtu felt as if death was imminent, and his pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

Perspective shift.

After spending hundreds of billions of GDP to barely maintain his peak power level of 4 revolutions per second,

Fang Can found this body to be unexpectedly difficult to control.

He knew that this was not because he was unable to fully utilize Ji Donglai's strength.

It's because Yan Chuqing's inherited [Equality Domain] is unleashing its power!

Based on the intelligence Fang Can gathered during his days of hard work at Suxinzhai, Yan Chuqing's fourth-stage inheritance is known as the "Equality Domain".

[Equal Domain]: Within a radius of 100 feet around the user, no force, speed, or damage will exceed the user's maximum limit.

This was the secret Fang Can gleaned from the women of Suxinzhai, whose eyes rolled back, while Yan Chuqing was taking a bath with running water during those three days.

According to this theory, this tradition, which is called the "Domain of Equality," should actually be called the "Domain of Double Standards"!
Because its so-called equality means that everyone is equal above the self, but there is a clear class distinction below the self.

Martial artists with lower strength and speed than Yan Chuqing will not improve upon entering this realm; they will remain unchanged.

At this moment, when Fang Can manipulated Ji Donglai into Yan Chuqing's so-called halo of equality, he experienced that terrifying sense of sluggishness for the first time.

It's as if 95% of one's power has been sealed, and less than 10% of the power of a peak fourth-stage cultivator can be unleashed.

'Damn... Yan Chuqing's power is... way too weak!'

Fang Can looked at the oblivious woman in front of him and cursed inwardly.

Compared to the damage of others, he was almost certain that this guy's strength was among the weakest of the fourth-tier.

But this weakest power, combined with the inheritance of the [Equality Domain], directly transformed from a disadvantage into a pure advantage!
No matter how strong others are, once they enter this realm of equality, won't they be pulled down to the same level by her?

Without further hesitation, Fang Can manipulated Ji Donglai's fist to slam it hard into the back of Yan Chuqing's neck.

Clang——

The next moment, Fang Can felt as if his fist had struck a piece of ancient ice.

At the moment of impact, the earth within a radius of a thousand meters collapsed under the right fist, emitting a mournful cry of shattered mountains and rivers.
Fang Can only felt that Ji Donglai's right fist was slightly numb from the shock.

Yan Chuqing's body was simply sent flying backwards, without any problems whatsoever.

"Damn... this woman's body rigidity is the complete opposite of her strength, no wonder she chose this kind of inheritance!"

As Fang Can cursed under his breath, Yan Chuqing angrily turned around, wanting to retaliate.

But in the blink of an eye, he was shocked to find himself in a vast, boundless sea.

'This is... the Endless Sea!' The woman's languid expression vanished as she stared in astonishment at the shimmering water below.

That's right!

So-called teleportation.

Its greatest role in team battles is not to dodge enemy attacks!
Instead, they rely on high mobility to divide the battlefield!
After moving Yan Chuqing, Fang Can, controlling Ji Donglai's body, calmly returned to the center of the chessboard.

He acted as if nothing had happened, calmly waiting for Yi Tianxing to make his move!
"Old Deng? Haven't you decided on your next step yet?"
