Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 494 Where can one find someone who is both a vampire and a time-stopping ability user?
For Cheng Tian and the head maid, a series of extremely intense resource exchange and defense battles, unique to time-stopping ability users, took place between them.

But for the audience, it seemed as if the images on the stage changed in the blink of an eye.

The ground was littered with more flying knife fragments, and amidst the fragments, Cheng Tian's fist pressed against the forehead of the head maid, who was kneeling helplessly on the ground.

What happened?

The faces of all the spectators were filled with confusion and bewilderment, except for a few skilled fighters who could see something of it.

Orange and Izayoi Sakuya most likely possess nearly identical time-related abilities, and they have already engaged in a fierce battle without others being able to observe it.

Only time delay, time acceleration, or time pause can theoretically achieve the kind of spliced ​​scene that looks like it has been edited, with a period of time cut out, making it appear very abrupt.

Especially after personally experiencing Sakuya's world, Chizuru Kagura became even more certain of her previous judgment.

As the inheritor of the Three Sacred Treasures, Chizuru Kagura, whose family lineage has never been broken, obviously has some understanding of the Yasakani no Magatama held by Iori Yagami, and is not unfamiliar with time-related abilities... However, even Iori Yagami, who possesses a sacred treasure, mainly uses blue flames to stagnate the existence of a single entity, rather than this kind of time control that has clearly entered another level.

All I can say is that, upon reviewing the game again, the loss was indeed well-deserved.

With her mood improved, Kagura Chizuru suddenly felt that much of the pain in her body had dissipated.

She did not question Cheng Tian and the head maid's cheat-level time-stopping ability, because she herself was also a user of the mirror. If she criticized others' abilities for being problematic, then shouldn't she first remove the Yata Mirror, this thing left behind by her ancestors?
However, no matter how much the audience questioned it, the head maid had already admitted defeat.

"The winner! Orange!"

The man in sunglasses and a mustache made a definitive judgment based on the scene before him.

Under the young lady's instructions, Hong Meiling hurriedly went on stage and smoothly hoisted Izayoi Sakuya onto her shoulder.

Having never seen the head maid so weak, Hong Meiling came and went in a hurry. As she left, Cheng Tian could clearly see the helpless look in her eyes.

Although she had never asked for a princess carry, being subjected to the standard fire rescue posture in front of everyone still made her feel a bit embarrassed.

If she weren't currently exhausted and hadn't overused the time stop function outside the rules, she would have already disappeared on the spot.

The only slightly commendable thing is that when Hong Meiling was carrying people, she didn't forget to hold down her skirt to prevent any possibility of exposure.

On the other side, after exchanging glances with the head maid, Cheng Tian also voluntarily severed his fusion with the world, leaving himself and his stand-in on the arena.

However, Cheng Tian stood there blankly, staring at the sky with a vacant look in his eyes.

Cheng Tian could vaguely sense that his stand-in seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

Currently, all we can say is that it's related to time. After all, I just fought another master of time-stopping. With my superior resources, I outlasted the head maid using the "old lady" tactic. So theoretically, any changes should be time-related.

However, the specific numerical results will likely only become apparent after the group stage matches conclude, because losing a match would essentially mean completing the main storyline prematurely, and the changes gained in this match might not be carried over.

"I'm sorry, young lady, I lost." In the rest area for the contestants, Izayoi, feeling somewhat weak, could only sit with her knees drawn up to her chest next to Remilia, and was a little downcast.

The head maid never thought she was invincible and that there would always be times when she lost to someone. But she never imagined that one day she would lose to another time-stop user... Of course, another major reason for her low spirits was the mental attack that Cheng Tian had launched on her before the war.

Theory of lifespan, oh theory of lifespan~
"Come on~ tell me how you lost!"

To the head maid's surprise, her young mistress wasn't angry at all. Instead, she looked at her with bright, expectant eyes, quite intrigued.

Yes, Remilia, who does not have the ability to stop time, naturally could not know the extent of the battle between her perfect head maid and that orange during the intense time-stop confrontation.

Especially considering that the opponent wasn't overwhelmingly stronger than her head maid, Remilia was even more curious about how the head maid had lost.

After taking a deep breath, Izayoi quickly returned to the perfect maid demeanor and began to recount in detail the battle between her and Cheng Tian.

But as he spoke, Izayoi's mind involuntarily began to replay Cheng Tian's mental attacks.

Cheng Tian cruelly pointed out the fact that the head maid would have to face in the future, which could also be considered a subtle reminder to Izayoi.

If the young lady really will eventually outlive me, then I shouldn't wallow in self-pity now, but rather try to find ways to change that future.

One's ability to control one's time is innate and cannot be shared or taught to others.

So the question is, where can you find someone who has both vampire blood and the ability to stop time?
……what?

As she narrated, Izayoi Sakuya paused slightly, her gaze involuntarily turning towards the arena.

The head maid leaves the stage, and the gatekeeper reappears.

Unsurprisingly, Hong Meiling remains a key member of the Scarlet Devil Palace team.

However, this lazybones, who was full of stereotypical Chinese imagery, did not look at Cheng Tian with the firmness one might expect; instead, he seemed somewhat cautious.

The problem still lies with the head maid.

From the very beginning, Hong Meiling mistakenly believed that Cheng Tian had the same level of time manipulation ability as the head maid. Based on the theory of the winner taking all, now that Izayoi lost and Cheng Tian won, wouldn't that mean that Cheng Tian's time manipulation ability was a higher level?
Hong Meiling, unaware that Cheng Tian's time management abilities were far inferior to Izayoi's, and that he only won by making good use of the rules and cooperating with the despicable old lady-like tactics, was filled with apprehension towards Cheng Tian in his JOJO pose.

Hong Meiling stood with her feet apart and her hands placed one above the other in front of her chest, maintaining the standard fighter's stance.

In contrast, Cheng Tian was much more casual, simply standing there with his arms crossed, but presumably no one would underestimate him anymore.

"Then, let's continue with Orange versus the Scarlet Devil Mansion team's mainstay, Red Beauty!"

"Battle Two! Begin!"
