Chapter 144 Even Gods Bleed
"Whoo~"

With heavy breathing, the connection between the Blood Spear and Ye Mingqiu deepened rapidly. Crimson crystals spread wildly across Ye Mingqiu's arm, and the flashing of crimson patterns accelerated, further strengthening the bond of life.

Blood Crystal Divine Power + Link Core can increase Ye Mingqiu's life recovery speed by 150%, and even simple healing spells can have a fairly good effect.

Furthermore, Ye Mingqiu's passive skill [Undying in a Hundred Battles] can restore 5% of his health per minute after reaching level 5. Combined with the recovery bonus and the characteristic of doubling the effect on himself, this results in a total of 25% health recovery per minute.

Therefore, Ye Mingqiu not only has a lot of health, but also a very fast health regeneration speed! At this moment, the Unyielding passive effect of the gold-grade equipment [Beast Fang Necklace] is brought to its fullest potential!

【Unyielding】: The strength will not be affected by weakness due to low life force.

"."

【Hephaestus】The face of Hephaestus, made of lava and flowing with golden patterns, showed a slight doubt. He did not understand why this guy could withstand one of his attacks. Even a top-level level 3 overlord should not be able to withstand it.

But He didn't think too much about it. He simply raised the giant sword, and the golden flames suddenly surged, shooting into the sky in an instant, as if to burn a hole in the entire sky.

The brilliant golden flames turned platinum, and the temperature soared, radiating an even more terrifying power, as if it were about to destroy that ant in one blow.

This attack will be very powerful!
Ye Mingqiu's pupils contracted instantly. From the previous confrontation, he had discovered that the flames of [Hephaestus] possessed many powerful characteristics: [Incinerate], [Severely Injured], [Soul Burning], [Vulnerable], [Instant Death], and [Undying]. A series of terrifying effects took effect on Ye Mingqiu, and he almost died!

Fortunately, his abnormal status resistance was superior! He resisted all those negative statuses!
As for [Burning Soul], Ye Mingqiu's soul strength was simply too high, and he directly withstood it.

The next attack will likely be more than just a physical attack with flames; it will probably be a strike from Hephaestus unleashing the full power of his divine authority.

Ye Mingqiu's fighting instincts were screaming at him that he absolutely could not take this attack head-on; no matter how he resisted, he would surely die.

Is it a fatal blow?

I don't think so!

[Tyrant Form] + [Beast King True Form]

The boy facing the gods spread his arms, and his body, as small as an ant, rapidly expanded in a short time. The burning Flame Dragon Reverse Scale Armor also enlarged, and the phantom of a crimson dragon surrounded him, complementing the giant's figure.

A ten-meter-tall giant stood on the ground, exuding an incomparably powerful aura. With the amplification of the dual states, Ye Mingqiu's physique attribute had reached a terrifying value of 245 points!
And his life.
It has also reached the upper limit of 22809!
Although the numerical value is relatively high, it is still too weak compared to a true god. A true god has a more complete range of amplification multipliers, and various powers can exert a stronger effect.

Even so, Ye Mingqiu was not confident that he could withstand a single blow from [Hephaestus].

"Oh?"

Hephaestus's expression changed slightly, but he still didn't take the giant seriously. He just arrogantly watched Ye Mingqiu complete his transformation and only brought down the attack that had been raised high in the sky after Ye Mingqiu entered his strongest state.

opportunity!

Ye Mingqiu, who had been watching Him closely, finally spotted a barely perceptible flaw. Instantly, he activated [Killing Intent Wave] + [War Roar], and the instant [Hephaestus] landed its attack, he roared: "Roar!!"

In an instant, a terrifying sound wave reached Hephaestus's ears at just the right moment, and at the same time, a blood-red wave of killing intent arrived. The dual mental attacks were launched simultaneously, and even Hephaestus, whose mental strength was as high as 220, experienced a brief moment of disorientation.

It only lasted for a moment, but that one moment was enough!

[Eyes of Death Perception] activated!!

The Overlord-level equipment, the Eye of Omargon, instantly opened its eyes, and an incomparably powerful cursed power was instantly poured into Hephaestus's body. It was a cursed power that was enough to instantly kill a level 5 monarch!

Eye of Death Perception: Inflicts 10 consecutive instant death checks on the target. For each failure, an additional 10 mental corruption and will corruption checks are immediately added, up to a maximum of 100 additional checks.

Hephaestus merely frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the attack, but was not significantly affected by the Eye of Omargon's Eye of Death Perception; the terrifying attack still descended as before.

Tch, what a useless big-eyed trash!

However, the power of this attack has been significantly weakened! Ye Mingqiu's objective has been achieved!
"Radiant Shield!"

Ye Mingqiu immediately activated [High-Speed ​​Interruption Spellcasting], instantly converting his powerful [Divine Power] into a shield to protect himself, while continuing to cast various self-protective spells.

The world-destroying flames fell, but he did not take the opportunity to dodge.

[War Tyrant] launches a campaign, charging towards [Hephaestus]'s true form with a blood spear in hand, while simultaneously activating [Blood Shadow] to enter its final, complete form.

[Bloodthirsty Tyrant Form]

Heavenly fire fell!

Platinum flames poured down like a celestial river, carrying terrifying heat, and fell upon the giant charging towards the god, instantly engulfing it and completely destroying the entire grassland.

"Crack!"

Almost instantly, Ye Mingqiu's [Radiant Shield] was annihilated by the platinum flames, and the terrifying attack landed on him, unleashing astonishing power.

"Um"

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant let out a heavy groan as its terrifyingly massive body was scorched by the flames, and the Fiery Dragon Soul surrounding its Fiery Dragon Reverse Scale Armor was also annihilated by the fire.

His body surface quickly turned charred and then carbonized. The light of [Divine Power] constantly appeared and shone on his body surface, which were traces of [Holy Healing] and [Radiant Shield], but it was almost useless against the platinum flames that were engulfing him like a tsunami.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant is now like a piece of raw iron thrown into a steel furnace, every inch of its skin being melted by the terrifying temperature.

During the melting process, Ye Mingqiu did not back down. Even though his body surface was completely carbonized, his eyes were burned, and he lost his hearing, making him almost unrecognizable, he still kept moving forward.

A true tyrant would never retreat or run away in such a place!

I'm risking my life waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity that I myself am not even sure will come.

A deity's moves are likely flawless, but if I let Him reveal a slight flaw when unleashing an attack, will He show a momentary interruption of energy after successfully unleashing the move, that is, a discontinuity?
Maybe, maybe not.

In a battle against a deity, hoping that the deity will reveal a weakness on its own is wishful thinking. One must take the initiative and actively find the weakness; only in this way is there any possibility of success.

The opportunity has come! !
Just as the Bloodthirsty Tyrant was completely engulfed by the platinum-gold flames and was about to be burned into a dried corpse, the golden-red liquid surging from the wrist of the God of Fire, Hephaestus, briefly stopped flowing. It was an extremely tiny flaw that was almost undetectable.

However, Ye Mingqiu's level 5 [Instinctive Perception] allowed him to sense that slight flaw, even though he had lost all his senses at this moment and could not be sure whether his perception was real.
But! How can you possibly succeed without taking a gamble!
Give up on treatment!

The moment Ye Mingqiu gave up using [Divine Power] to heal, his health plummeted to 0, but the passive effect of [Undying Tyrant] allowed him to recover 20% of his health in a short time, and his body regained its functions and was no longer stiff from carbonization.

His earlier steps forward, closing the distance with Hephaestus, now became a crucial foreshadowing.

The Bloodthirsty Tyrant smiled, his massive body bending to gather strength, channeling all his remaining power into the Blood Spear, and using his pitch-black giant hand to overdraw his strength, completing a strike at the cost of his life.

Then, he died completely, turning into black charcoal in the torrent of platinum flames, which was then devoured and melted by the scalding fire.

The blood spear shot out, symbolizing Ye Mingqiu's strike imbued with all his power and his absolute devotion to battle.

"boom!"

A crimson meteor broke through the sea of ​​platinum flames and hurtled towards Hephaestus in astonishment, striking with unbelievable precision at the opening on his wrist.

"Stab!"

A crisp sound rang out as it sliced ​​through Hephaestus's lava wrist, and golden blood fell from the sky, landing in the platinum-gold sea of ​​fire.

Am I injured?
Hephaestus stared in astonishment at his wrist. The flowing golden blood had gradually returned to normal, as if he had never been injured. However, the stinging sensation and the dripping blood in the process proved that it was all real.

It's hard to imagine that anyone could harm a god; to Hephaestus, it's an utterly unbelievable thing.

"interesting."

Hephaestus smiled faintly, suddenly feeling a little regretful. At this moment, what remained within the Soul Realm Contract was merely a projection of Him. Although it possessed intelligence and the ability to think, it was not connected to the main body.

Therefore, what He sees and feels here cannot be shared with His true self.

This is clearly a very interesting thing, but I can't share it with my main body. This is really terrible. There's nothing I can do about it; that's just how the [Soul Realm Contract] works.

[Challenge failed]

Hephaestus's remaining health: 99.9%

In other words, my final attack successfully broke through Hephaestus's defense, right?

Ye Mingqiu smiled. After the battle just now, he had a general understanding of the god's strength.

【Hephaestus】possesses base attributes and skill judgment far exceeding those of the Overlord level, as well as various terrifying passive bonuses. Whether it is speed, strength, or attacks launched using authority, they are all ridiculously strong.

Furthermore, and more importantly, Ye Mingqiu was not challenging a level 3 deity under suppression, because the opponent's four-dimensional attributes had not reached the level 1 limit like the remains of Omargon.

A deity at their peak could not possibly fail to reach the pinnacle of their four-dimensional attributes under suppression.

Then
There is only one answer.

That is, [Hephaestus] possesses this level of strength at the same level!

Although He appears to be only a Tier 1 Level 3, He is actually ridiculously strong. Even a Tier 2 powerhouse would be easily killed by Him.

As expected of a deity

I wonder if killing a deity in the [Soul Realm Contract] challenge will fulfill the advancement requirements for the seven-star title [Godslayer], since the advancement requirement for this title is to kill a god at his peak in a direct confrontation.

The [Hephaestus] within the Soul Realm Contract happens to be a god at his peak, only at a slightly lower level. However, the problem is that the gods within the Soul Realm Contract are not the real entities. The [Godslayer] most likely cannot advance by killing such a fictional god and can only use him as a reference for strength.

This is such a hassle.
Ye Mingqiu continued to review the game, analyzing how to find Hephaestus's weaknesses and take him down as soon as possible.

First, its initial attack was extremely fast, so fast that Ye Mingqiu couldn't react. Keep in mind that Ye Mingqiu's reaction speed had undergone multiple enhancements; a normal attack would never leave him unable to react.

Furthermore, Hephaestus's agility attribute is only 180 points. Even with a lot of passive bonuses, it's impossible for him to be fast enough to not be able to react.

Therefore, He must have used a skill, which must be some kind of powerful skill with very little wind-up and extremely high power.

Is this skill so powerful that it's considered a divine skill?
Not only that move, but the second attack used by [Hephaestus] afterward should also be some kind of divine skill. The power of that move was simply unreasonable. The intensity of the platinum flames it released was no less than [Divine Power], and even stronger. It seems to have some kind of passive ability that can amplify the intensity of the flames.

Only through multiple layers of attack can a terrifying strike be launched that can instantly kill me in my [Bloodthirsty Tyrant] form.

Then
How can we break through His attack?

While [Divine Power] is indeed very strong, defensive moves made with [Divine Power] are not very effective at defending against fire. Perhaps I should explore more ways to use [Abyssal Power].

[Note: Your follower [Apostle of Light and Shadow] has offered you sincere faith, Faith Power +1]

Power of Faith
Looking at the three units of faith power stored inside the [Lord of Light and Shadow], Ye Mingqiu couldn't help but feel curious. If the faith power were used to amplify the title's strength, how much would the [Lord of Light and Shadow] title be strengthened?
[Hint: Should/Should 2 units of Faith Power be used to enhance the title?]

Be

[Strengthening success]

Title Enhancement Effect: When you use the power of light and shadow, your energy intensity and control are increased by 1%.

Oh? It can actually increase the strength of [Divine Power] and [Abyssal Power]! You know, these two powers are so high-level that there's almost no way to increase their strength!
Unfortunately, the value is too low and needs to be amplified with more faith power to achieve a fairly good amplification of the power of light and shadow.

Ye Mingqiu currently has only one believer. To prevent any problems from arising with his adorable little believer, he must expend one unit of faith power to bestow a blessing upon the believer. If the believer is gone, there is no point in talking about faith power.

Hmm. Let's give her the Shadow of Holy Light too.

【Shadow of Holy Light】is a dark gold-grade equipment that Ye Mingqiu purchased from the Spirit Realm Shop. It is a one-handed sword with decent strength. It should be fine to use it as a temporary weapon for the level 2 Overlord 【Apostle of Light and Shadow】.

Ye Mingqiu glanced at the general information about [Apostle of Light and Shadow] and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Wait, when did she reach level 3?

And it's even a top-tier powerhouse?
Ye Mingqiu originally thought that after the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] entered the world of Eredoa, she would fall from the Overlord level to the Monarch level. After all, she only had the strength of level 2, and there was no cursed life form in this world to restrain her. It would be almost impossible for her to continue to maintain the Overlord level.

But
This guy actually leveled up, and now he's at the Overlord level! This means he's very strong now, extremely strong, and a top-tier powerhouse in the world of Eredoya.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingqiu couldn't help but ask a question to the Spirit Realm.

"Do the native inhabitants of the spirit world level up this quickly?"

[Answer: A believer's level cannot surpass the corresponding deity. As your level increases, the level limit for the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] will be removed, and the level will automatically increase to level 3.]

"."

Ye Mingqiu fell silent instantly.

He originally thought that the [Light and Shadow Apostle] had become weaker due to attribute conversion, but he never expected that the [Light and Shadow Apostle] had dropped to level 2 because he was only level 2 at the time. After he came out and upgraded to level 3, the [Light and Shadow Apostle]'s level also increased to level 3.

Oops. How embarrassing.

Alright, alright, let's grant the blessing first!
Please select the type of blessing.

A: Basic attribute improvement

B: Increase in similar attribute levels

C: Balanced Blessing

Choose C, balanced development brings blessings.

[Hint: After selecting, do you confirm whether to bestow the blessing upon the believer?]

Yes.

Activate the control of the Iridor world and deliver the weapon to her side.

[Teleportation complete]

On the boundless sea, the Apostle of Light and Shadow and the Short-tailed Cat sailed away together, with the Apostle of Light and Shadow still performing his daily prayers.

The short-tailed cat beside it muttered to itself: What good is prayer? Why would a real deity pay attention to someone as insignificant as you? The probability of receiving a blessing from a deity is lower than winning the lottery. If your prayers worked, I'd be here on the spot...
"Shh!"

A divine light descended, pouring into the [Apostle of Light and Shadow], and at the same time, a dark gold-grade one-handed sword descended, radiating an incomparably powerful light.

"Thank you for the blessing of the Lord of Light and Shadow."

As the Apostle of Light and Shadow worshipped devoutly, she felt her power grow even stronger.

At this moment, the bobtail cat's newly established worldview is being violently impacted.

noon
Ye Mingqiu, who had been killed 29 times by Hephaestus, sat in the rest area with a sullen face, deep in thought.

First, [Hephaestus] has extremely high base attributes and a very strong passive ability. Even without using skills, he can still easily suppress him, but the suppression is not significant. He can sense the flaws in the moves through [Instinct Perception], but he cannot counterattack due to the large attribute difference.

As long as he raises his base stats to the same level as [Hephaestus], Ye Mingqiu is confident that he can suppress this guy in close combat, after all, his top-tier combat instincts are not to be underestimated.

Secondly, [Hephaestus] possesses a wide variety of skills, including dashes, large-area AOE attacks, and close-range high-damage single-target kills, making him capable of handling various complex environments. Currently, no effective countermeasures have been found.

Conclusion: We can't beat them for now; we need to build up more numerical values ​​and mechanics.

"Whoo~"

Ye Mingqiu leaned back, looking at the ceiling of the training room, his feelings complicated. After calming himself down briefly, he stood up, stretched, and muttered to himself, "Forget it, let's go get some food and change our mood."

He turned his head to look at Tang Ruobing, who was still engrossed in her book, and asked, "Want to eat together?" "No, just get me a jianbing guozi (Chinese savory crepe)."

Tang Ruobing looked down at a notebook filled with writings he couldn't understand.

However, Ye Mingqiu had studied magic for a long time, so even if he couldn't understand it, he could roughly recognize that the content was related to demons and should be related to deciphering the [Demon Codex].

"Okay, take care and get some rest, don't overwork yourself."

"understood."

The portrait of Ye Mingqiu from Chenghai No. 2 Middle School has been updated. What appears on the projector now is Ye Mingqiu's appearance after obtaining the [Divine Evolution]. It is similar to his previous appearance, but there are still some subtle differences. His overall appearance has improved a lot, and his skin has become fairer and more elegant.

More importantly, his level also increased from level 2 to level 3, a terrifying speed of improvement that left many ordinary students in the school in disbelief.

Under normal circumstances, support characters rely more on their teammates to level up, but Ye Mingqiu is different. His leveling speed is even faster than that of mages, terrifyingly fast, like riding a rocket.

Bathed in the gazes of countless classmates, Ye Mingqiu walked straight toward the cafeteria, recalling the various moves of [Hephaestus] as he went, mentally calculating how to deal with them.

Soon after, a familiar figure quickly appeared behind him and said, "Good afternoon."

"Ok?"

Ye Mingqiu turned around and found that the other party was actually Feng Xinglie, the former number one magic user. He asked in confusion, "Do you need something from me?"

“It’s something that concerns you. Let’s go somewhere less crowded to talk,” Feng Xinglie said.

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu readily agreed, as he was quite curious about what the other party would say to him.

“Sigh, lately there have been a lot of rumors circulating in the French system about your relationship with Tang Ruobing, and I feel I need to tell you,” Feng Xinglie said.

"How did you spread the rumors?"

"They say you became stronger because of women. The items that allowed you to enter the game early were given to you by Tang Ruobing, the attribute-boosting items were given to you by Tang Ruobing, the equipment was given to you by Tang Ruobing, and she even spent a lot of money to buy you a skill book called 'Erudition'."

As Feng Xinglie spoke, he sighed, "It's just that those people are too inexperienced. They only believe what they guess. How could someone who truly understands take this seriously? Should we deal with it?"

"."

Ye Mingqiu fell silent briefly because he realized that the content of those rumors didn't seem to be rumors at all.

"Don't overthink it. Those guys are just not qualified to access the secrets, and they're jealous that you study with our top beauty in the law department every day. They're nothing but a bunch of clowns."

Feng Xinglie said with a casual smile.

He appeared to be scolding, but in reality, he was trying to save those people. If they were allowed to continue, they might be secretly dealt with. By revealing the situation beforehand and then handling it, their fate might be better.

So Feng Xinglie quietly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "If you feel uncomfortable, I can help you with something."

"Oh, is it worth it for you to help me?"

Ye Mingqiu suddenly asked.

"."

Feng Xinglie fell into a brief silence, thinking to himself: You're quite vengeful. A casual remark I made when I was fighting Tang Ruobing before has still made you remember it.

However, since he was able to say it, it means the problem isn't serious and can be solved.

He coughed lightly twice and asked, "So, how do you plan to resolve this?"

"Let's make a bet. If you can inflict even one point of damage on me within three minutes, you win, and I won't hold it against you. If you can't inflict any damage on me within three minutes, then I win, and I'll give you a punch. We'll be even," Ye Mingqiu said.

"Ok?"

Feng Xinglie instantly realized something was wrong. Ye Mingqiu was level 3, while he was level 8. Under normal circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for him to be unable to inflict even a single point of damage on Ye Mingqiu for three minutes. Either Ye Mingqiu wanted to forgive him directly, or he had a special item.

Based on his understanding of Ye Mingqiu, he felt that this guy probably possessed some kind of extremely powerful pay-to-win item, which was why he proposed this bet. As long as he participated in the bet, he would definitely lose.

So, should we accept it or not?

If I accept, it must be on the premise that I lose and that I can accept the result of failure. Ye Mingqiu is a level 3 support character, and even if he has powerful physical attack accessories and equipment, he shouldn't be able to cause me too much damage.

In that case, I shouldn't have much of a problem taking a punch from him.

"I accepted."

Feng Xinglie laughed and continued, "But you mustn't kill me then."

"it is good."

Ye Mingqiu nodded in response. The other party had only said it casually before, and there was no deep hatred between them. It was just a token gesture.

Ten minutes later, Shangwu Hall
Feng Xinglie looked at Ye Mingqiu, who was not far away and whose body was radiating a faint golden light, with his hands in his pockets. He felt immense pressure. A minute had passed, and he still couldn't inflict any effective damage on this guy.

All damage is 0!

Outrageous! Utterly outrageous!

The energy he was using was wrong; it seemed to be the strongest light-attribute energy, [Divine Power], but if one only possessed this power, it would be impossible to reach such a terrifying level.

Could it be that he has mastered a skill that only exists in legends and myths, the Invincible Golden Body?

Does this skill really exist?

Why do I feel like the skill he just used was just a normal Radiant Shield? But the skill effect is clearly Invincible Golden Body. Could it be that there's some special connection between Radiant Shield and Invincible Golden Body?
"Two minutes left."

Ye Mingqiu read it aloud.

After saying that, he glanced at the shield. The shield strength had dropped by 28 points. Feng Xinglie's attack strength was still quite good. Without the suppression of spiritual energy, he had successfully broken through his damage reduction and caused visible damage.

It should be noted that Ye Mingqiu's current physique is as high as 139.6, and he also has a base physique that further increases his physical defense, and a divine evolution that further increases his elemental resistance and physical defense, making him incredibly tanky.

Even under these circumstances, he still has a fixed damage reduction of 185 points, making it extremely difficult to inflict damage on him under normal circumstances.

The fact that Feng Xinglie could break through defenses already demonstrates that he is quite capable.

"Nine Dragons Divine Fire".

In an instant, the familiar spell was once again used by a familiar person, and nine crimson fire dragons coiled and circled around Feng Xinglie.

But unlike before, the once proud and confident Feng Xinglie was now covered in a fine layer of cold sweat. Even if he successfully used the Nine Dragons Divine Fire, he was not sure if he could break through Ye Mingqiu's "Invincible Golden Body".

As the world of his memories collided with reality, Ye Mingqiu looked at the man in front of him and couldn't help but smile. He took his hands out of his pockets and slowly raised them upwards.

At the same time, a massive amount of [divine power] surged out of his body instantly. The golden power expanded and grew stronger in a very short time, forming a golden giant image that was more than ten meters tall, solemn and majestic.

This is a move that Ye Mingqiu mastered after obtaining the [Spiritual Energy - Balance] talent. He couldn't use it before because his total [Divine Power] was insufficient to support the Dharma Form, and he was more suited to using small and precise spells.

However, after possessing [Psionic-Balance] which greatly increases the total amount of psionic energy and thus indirectly increases the total amount of divine power, Ye Mingqiu gained the power to use Dharma Forms.

Although using Dharma Forms still consumes a great deal of energy for him now, if he raises the level of [Psionic Energy - Balance] to a sufficiently high level, his total Psionic Energy will surge. At that time, using Dharma Forms will no longer be a low-cost-performance option.

Instead, it's a better choice!

Because he has enough [divine power] to squander!

If you have enough Divine Power, using spells that slowly deplete it would be a waste of that huge amount of Divine Power, failing to maximize the advantage of having a large amount of mana.

The next moment, the nine fire dragons suddenly erupted simultaneously, rushing towards the Dharma Image from nine different directions, their ferocious dragon heads bursting out with terrifying explosions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions rang out, creating a tremendous spectacle and raising clouds of dust. However, Feng Xinglie, who was standing on one side of the battlefield and staring intently at Ye Mingqiu, felt even greater pressure.

From the moment the golden Dharma form appeared, Feng Xinglie no longer believed that Ye Mingqiu was only level 3. What level 3 psionicist could pilot a Gundam? His total psionic energy is probably more than mine, right? What's the point of me fighting him?
"boom!"

The next moment, a giant golden hand instantly broke through the smoke and swept it away completely. Ye Mingqiu stood at the core of the Dharma Image and smiled as he gestured for Feng Xinglie to enter.

Looking at the enormous Dharma image, and then at Ye Mingqiu who was completely unharmed within it, and feeling the spiritual energy within his body that had been more than half depleted, Feng Xinglie suddenly felt an urge to cry. He sighed helplessly and said, "I'm not fighting anymore. I admit defeat."

The enormous Dharma image dissipated, and Ye Mingqiu slowly walked over from a distance, smiling as he said, "Actually, my total spiritual energy isn't much, so I can't maintain that thing for long. You've lost out by admitting defeat."

"I can't break through your defenses even if you don't use it."

Feng Xinglie sighed and said.

Now, he is completely certain that Ye Mingqiu is not a Level 3 psychic at all. His so-called rapid level increase is actually just a way of gradually revealing his previously hidden strength.

Those foolish students in the French system are so pathetic that they can't even see through something like this. When they spread rumors about others, they speak as if it's true.

Who has a Level 3 psychic who can pilot a Gundam?
Such a large and movable figure, this guy could definitely not be a level 3 psionicist!
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a level 10 psionicist, and a legendary one at that. A difference of two levels between hero classes doesn't make that much of a difference.

另外
Since Ye Mingqiu has already used his Dharma Form in the battle, it means he has revealed his hand and wants me to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind revealing some of his strength to make those gossipy guys suffer a little.

Just as Feng Xinglie was pondering, Ye Mingqiu quickly walked over.

He tried to speak, but Ye Mingqiu threw a punch with lightning speed, hitting him hard in the stomach.

"Well"

Feng Xinglie's eyes widened in pain instantly, and he collapsed, clutching his stomach and curling into a small ball.

Dude, that punch came way too suddenly! And how come it had penetrating damage?
Hiss~ Ah~
This is so incredibly refreshing!

"Now, our conflict is resolved."

Ye Mingqiu smiled and left gracefully.

"Ouch."

Feng Xinglie was in excruciating pain, but he still focused his mind and cast a healing spell on himself. The pain from his injury immediately subsided by more than half, and he felt much better.

He glanced at his health bar instinctively, wondering why he had been in so much pain. Could this guy have used some kind of pain amplification ability? How could a magic-based punch hurt so much?

Life: 435/865
Uh?
Feng Xinglie froze on the spot as he saw that he had lost half of his health. This was the health he had just lost after using a healing spell, not the health he had just lost after being attacked.

In other words, Ye Mingqiu's punch just now directly took away at least 3/4 of his health.

I'm a good kid.
He almost killed me with one punch!
This guy is definitely a level 10 legendary, and judging from his expression and actions, he probably held back just now, otherwise I might really be dead.

Afterwards, the rumors were dispelled. Ye Mingqiu was three hours late buying jianbing (Chinese crepes) for Tang Ruobing, and Tang Ruobing chased him with a cane and hit him for ten minutes.

Two days later

Ye Mingqiu's private training room

The light of the spirit realm teleportation flashed, and Tang Ruobing appeared. She casually took off the Eye of Omargon and returned it to Ye Mingqiu, saying, "It failed. You only have the seven-star title - Unparalleled in the World."

"You got the nine-star title because you also completed some hidden conditions, and there are probably more than one hidden condition, otherwise you wouldn't be two stars behind."

Is it because of the believers?

Ye Mingqiu thought for a moment and asked.

“You mentioned believers to me before, so I looked for many, but I still failed. I think it might be due to the quality of the believers. This quality could involve the purity of their faith, their strength, or even their basic impression of me; all of these are possible.”

Tang Ruobing paused, staring intently at Ye Mingqiu, and said, "Also, I always feel that your ability to obtain the nine-star title is inseparable from the title of [Dream Weaver]. You must have accomplished something, achieved something, or made a great deed after losing consciousness, which is why you obtained the nine-star title."

"may be."

Ye Mingqiu did not deny it, because he really did not remember what he did after losing consciousness. Considering his previous near-death experience, he may have indeed done something important, but he himself was unaware of it.

“I suspect that obtaining the true nine-star title and the [God] trait might require the approval of a being with the [God] trait or someone powerful enough. For example, the [Dream Weaver], who approves of you and believes you can be the [Lord of Light and Shadow], thus allowing you to successfully obtain the nine-star title [Lord of Light and Shadow],” Tang Ruobing said.

"Do they approve? Maybe they do."

Ye Mingqiu looked at the [Dream Weaver's Mark] on his body and felt that the [Dream Weaver] might indeed have acknowledged his existence.

His approval was also rather peculiar.

The Dream Weaver found the existence of the Lord of Light and Shadow in this world very interesting, so He acknowledged the existence of the Lord of Light and Shadow. Of course, He knew that Ye Mingqiu was weak and not a true god at all.

But it doesn't matter. The Dream Weaver doesn't care about that at all. He is just a high-dimensional being who likes to weave interesting dreams, so he chooses to recognize them and incorporate them into his own dream.

Of course, it would be even better if the Lord of Light and Shadow himself could come to His dream. He wouldn't mind giving this guy some power so that he could become the true Lord of Light and Shadow in the dream. That would be very interesting, wouldn't it?
Gaining the recognition of other gods or powerful beings is certainly not that simple.

[Note: Your follower [Apostle of Light and Shadow] has gained 0.32 units of World Origin.]

?

Ye Mingqiu stared blankly at the prompt, feeling a bit unreal. Although he knew that the [Apostle of Light and Shadow] was not weak, the origin of the world should not be something that could be obtained casually, right?

How did she do it?
[Note: Your follower, the Apostle of Light and Shadow, has infused the world's essence into the Holy Emblem, receiving divine power in return and advancing your talent level.]

Holy Light Constitution (A+)

↓

Radiant Body (S)

She actually advanced her talent level, and that Holy Badge thing is still usable?

However, the effect of this thing is much weaker than it was at the beginning. You should know that at the beginning, the [Holy Evolution] activated by the Holy Emblem could grant Ye Mingqiu the S+ level talent [Sequence - Holy Radiance] out of thin air.

Now, the [Light and Shadow Apostle], who already possesses the A+ Holy Light Physique talent, has only been upgraded to an S-level talent after receiving the buff, which is far from the S+ level talent.

Although S-class and S+ may seem to differ by only one level, in some cases, the difference of one level can be worlds apart.

"What's wrong? You seem surprised."

Tang Ruobing noticed something was wrong and asked.

“My follower, she, obtained a bit of the world's origin,” Ye Mingqiu replied.

"???"

Tang Ruobing's expression also became interesting, her small face filled with big question marks.

The original inhabitants of the spirit world entered the new world and obtained the origin of the world in less than 10 days. Is that fake?
"Then, she used the origin of the world to raise her talent to S-level," Ye Mingqiu continued.

As soon as she finished speaking, the look of confusion on Tang Ruobing's face increased exponentially. If this had happened to a psychic, she wouldn't have found it unacceptable.

But the core of the problem is that [Apostle of Light and Shadow] is just a native of the Spirit Realm! A native! How could a native of the Spirit Realm know how to obtain the World's Origin? How could she use the World's Origin to advance her talent?
It looks like it's already open!
