My stats are higher than yours!

This training room environment is amazing!

Eight buffs are too powerful!

"ha...!"

Xia Yanxin smiled. Her extreme reaction just now seemed to have put her into a state similar to what athletes call the zone. The power that originally required deliberate control became easy to handle, and she could perform better than usual just by instinct.

She swung her greatsword, unleashing a barrage of slashes like a torrential downpour. Her eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit, each strike aimed directly at the opponent's weaknesses, each strike stronger than the last.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

Bai Shuodong parried with his spear, which bounced back and forth between the two greatswords, producing a series of dense metallic clanging sounds.

His long weapon skill level had reached level 8, making his defense impenetrable. However, Xia Yanxin's offensive was too fierce when she entered the zone state, much stronger than her normal state. Even Bai Shuodong, who was holding a gun with one hand, was having trouble keeping up.

monster!

...

Su Qingli watched the match from the rest area, her face filled with utter horror. Compared to Xia Yanxin, she felt that Bai Shuodong was more like a monster.

He wielded a long spear with one hand, yet he could directly confront Xia Yanxin, who was dual-wielding a greatsword.

Is this even human?

Although he appeared to be suppressed, he was actually looking for an opportunity to unleash a slash with his other hand at any time. As long as Bai Shuodong found an opportunity, Xia Yanxin would be defeated in a very short time.

Is Xia Yanxin's offensive aggressive?

She has to be fierce!

If she doesn't fight fiercely, Bai Shuodong will find an opening in the next second and then deliver a quick slash to end the battle at the speed of light.

At this moment, Xia Yanxin was like walking a tightrope a hundred meters in the air. On the surface, she looked glamorous, but every step she took was on the edge of life and death. If she took the wrong step, she would die on the spot the next second.

In Su Qingli's eyes, Bai Shuodong was a numerical monster who tried to use the mechanism to stack up the numerical value to kill his opponent. With his heaven-defying fighting style, he would have been killed long ago if he didn't have some numerical value to rely on.

...

"Ding! Ding! Clang! Clang!..."

The greatsword and spear clashed repeatedly, and Xia Yanxin's speed had already reached its limit, with her innate talent [Fatal Rhythm] fully stacked.

Logically speaking, most people who acquire this talent that stacks attack speed and damage would prioritize lightweight weapons and engage in combat based on agile hit-and-run tactics; this is the normal way of thinking.

but...

Xia Yanxin wondered, "If I max out my talent in a short time and can't increase the stats afterward, won't the damage from my light weapons seem too low? Won't the suppression be too weak? Won't it be very frustrating to fight like that?"

After all, the maximum level of Lethal Tempo is only ten. Is the weapon with the highest attack frequency really the most suitable for me?

Therefore, she chose a greatsword, and even dual-wielded greatswords, to quickly stack up her talents in a short period of time. Once the talents were stacked to the maximum, the greatsword could maintain extremely strong frontal suppression.

That's her line of thinking.

"Bang!!"

The greatsword pressed down again, and Bai Shuodong raised his arm to block. His anti-magic gauntlets pulled his cloak to block, and the combined defense of the two protective gears was extremely high, which even Xia Yanxin could not break through.

Their eyes met, and Xia Yanxin swung her sword again, only to have it blocked by a spear.

"This cloak?"

Xia Yanxin's eyes flickered.

"Gold grade, and it's custom-made."

Bai Shuodong revealed a hearty smile, and the surface of his cloak instantly burst into intense flames, exploding like explosives.

【Scorching Bombardment】: When the user is attacked in melee and the attack is blocked by the 【Ember Cloak】, the heat stored in the cloak will automatically generate a 【Scorching Bombardment】 attack.

"boom!!"

An explosive burst of fire elemental power instantly blasted Xia Yanxin away. Xia Yanxin tumbled twice in mid-air, her body bearing obvious char marks, clearly indicating that she had suffered a serious injury.

She lay on the ground with difficulty, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her fighting instincts kicked in, and she began to quickly analyze Bai Shuodong's possible weaknesses.

"Today, I've been thinking about this for a long time."

Bai Shuodong suddenly spoke up.

"Ok?"

Xia Yan frowned, but still listened.

"What is the core of psychic power? What are the various techniques and formulas in the basics of magic? How do I learn these? How do I master true power?"

Bai Shuodong sighed, his eyes slowly lowering as he continued, "I can't think of it, I can't understand it, I can't comprehend it. It's like a primitive man can't understand modern skyscrapers, or why a cell phone can emit light and communicate. Everything about magic is too complicated for me."

"I can cast spells without chanting, not because I'm smart, but because that spellcasting doesn't require learning, it only requires mastery, making it perfect for someone like me who can't learn."

"What are you talking about?"

Xia Yanxin spoke, feeling as if she suddenly could no longer understand Bai Shuodong, and at the same time, she had an extremely dangerous instinctive premonition.

"I understand."

"I understand."

"I give up."

"I can't learn magic. The formulas and techniques of sorcerers are like foreign languages ​​to me. I'm just wasting my time and energy on them. I'm not cut out for this."

Bai Shuodong sighed again, clenched his fist, and said, "The only thing I'm good at from beginning to end is... output."

"Output...output...and more output!"

"Release the power within me, release all my spiritual energy, unleash everything, and unleash my unique output! This is the spell I'm best at! Just keep unleashing the devastating power! What need is there for any extra thought!"

"Hehe... Hehehe... Hahahaha!"

"I get it! I get it! This is my unique fighting style! Ah... ahhh! I see it! The core of psionic output!!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Xia Yan roared.

Then, she saw a raging fire erupt from the training spear in Bai Shuodong's hand. The flames were extremely hot and intense, and in a short time, they engulfed the bronze-grade training spear, melting it little by little.

"This gun... is still too fragile."

Bai Shuodong sighed, then tossed it into his storage space. It didn't matter if the weapon's durability was low; it could be reused by disassembling it. The disassembly ability didn't care about its durability.

A scorching fire ignited on his fist, the flames burning wildly, condensing, and sublimating.

[Slow Burst]

The next moment, Bai Shuodong stepped on the ground and his body shot out like a cannonball. His fist drew a gorgeous flame tail in mid-air, and violent flames burst forth in an instant.

"This guy..."

Xia Yanxin quickly raised her greatsword to resist.

"boom!!"

The Fiery Fist erupted with flames, its terrifying temperature instantly burning through the training greatsword in Xia Yanxin's hand. Yes, for the sake of fairness, Xia Yanxin was using a bronze-level training weapon, not her true main weapon.

Soon, Xia Yanxin felt the intense heat emanating from the giant sword, its violent power seemingly about to strike her at any moment.

Oops...

Dangerous!

The fiery fist magnified before her eyes, and an ominous warning of extreme danger was issued frantically, but she was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly.

"boom!!"

Flames exploded, and Xia Yanxin's body was instantly blasted into countless fragments. The [Death Protection Mechanism] in the training room activated, actively teleporting Xia Yanxin, who was about to be killed by a single punch, away.

In the rest area, Xia Yanxin rested her hand on her face, her brows furrowed. Without using her trump cards, she could no longer defeat Bai Shuodong.

hateful!

He doesn't have any cards up his sleeve, so how can I use them? What's the difference between me using my cards and losing?

"Are you OK?"

Su Qingli rushed over quickly, and a beam of [Light of Redemption] landed directly on Xia Yanxin. At the same time, she released her mental perception to further examine her physical condition.

"fine."

Xia Yanxin shook her head and looked at Bai Shuodong, who was still laughing wildly on the training field.

The guy was still laughing wildly, flames burning wildly on his body, and he was rampaging across the training ground at extremely high speed. Under this unrestrained output, his psionic output ability seemed to be increasing as well.

This guy wasn't just talking big; he genuinely understood.

Although his expression was exaggerated, he seemed to have truly understood something; he had grasped the truth in a way that normal people couldn't comprehend.

"What's going on? You're a magic user, you should be able to understand this, right?" Xia Yanxin turned to Su Qingli beside her and asked.

"what?"

Su Qingli looked somewhat troubled.

"Is it complicated?"

Xia Yanxin frowned and pressed for an answer.
