Chapter 863: Chapter 108: Winning Hearts
“I am Xiang Shan, the personality mask recognized by Xiang Shan’s old acquaintances, and the Six Dragons Sect Leader…” Behind Xiang Shan, the Six Dragons’ Holy Lord declared, “I am older than most Martial Gods, and have existed for a longer ti. However, I have hidden myself, choosing to gather power in the darkness, not entering the ranks of Martial Gods. If we were to define it… hmm, sothing like ‘Martial God extra’, perhaps!”
As he spoke, the Holy Lord had already ceased the power of the turbines throughout his body, sinking down along with Xiang Shan. This prosthetic body was more powerful, but also very frightening in its movent. Sound waves travel faster and farther in seawater. The Holy Lord seldom used this prosthetic body to avoid being detected by Protectors. Even if he was forced to act, he tried to minimize the duration of his actions.
After entering the phase of locking techniques with Xiang Shan, he imdiately stopped all the turbines in his body.
Even the Holy Lord preemptively interrupted the magnetic chain weapon on Xiang Shan, not only to save Yang ngying, but also to prepare for this mont—due to considerations of fluid dynamics, the Holy Lord’s prosthetic body had no room for magnetic chain weapons. And in locking techniques, magnetic chain weapons often have unimaginable applications.
“Since your formal birth till now, how many years have you been active? Ten years? Or twenty years? My active ti has already exceeded a hundred years. You can never surpass !”
“Ha…” Xiang Shan almost laughed aloud, responding with the sa code: “Ti and history are indeed resources, but what’s truly decisive for the future is not just this one ‘resource’…”
“Don’t waste your effort. I’ve now shut down most of this prosthetic body’s input ports, randomly selecting one sense every few seconds. Most of what you say, I cannot hear. My prosthetic eye is mostly closed. Passive radar too, and the pressure-sensitive module as well—you can’t mix curses and Gu into this information.”
The Holy Lord was quite spirited: “Moreover, if I were to guess, what you want to say now is nothing but ‘ti doesn’t decide everything, ultimately it’s the present that decides the future’, etc.”
—This guy thinks my inner strength must be inferior to his, and overwhelmingly so…
—Or is he simply a pseudo-personality mask?
Xiang Shan, while forcefully breaking one of Six Dragons’ Holy Lord’s fingers, thought swiftly.
—My current advantage cos from inner strength… I can freely acquire external information, but he cannot. No matter through which channel he receives signals, he risks being hacked by …
—I can win…
The Holy Lord laughed heartily: “I bet your current thought is surely ‘this guy’s inner strength isn’t as strong as mine, so I have absolute information advantage’… But I must tell you, sotis, ignorance is more friendly to you.”
From this sentence onwards, the Holy Lord was using not just one form of communication. Various signals of different forms and frequencies filled most of Xiang Shan’s input ports. The Holy Lord seed intent on forcing Xiang Shan to hear sothing.
—Nothing but news that can make angry or sad, thus causing emotional fluctuations and mistakes in actions…
—Ah, surely there are many.
Xiang Shan thought so.
The Eighth Martial God once conducted inhumane body experints on nurous scum in Delacruz City. In fact, even those labeled “Martial Gods” have the possibility of using evil thods and straying onto wicked paths.
To the extent of the Six Dragons Sect Leader… surely more severe than the Eighth Martial God countless tis.
Since this is the Six Dragons Sect Leader’s strategy, the most straightforward choice for Xiang Shan at this mont should be “Self-Sealing Five Senses.” Just learn from the Holy Lord, imdiately ban his input ports, seal his five senses, and randomly choose senses to gather external information. In this way, he won’t hear complete sentences no matter what.
Xiang Shan glanced at the rapidly approaching Six Dragons Sect Martial Artists, quickly weighing the options in his heart.
Is it abandoning the information advantage brought by the Eighth Martial God’s inner strength to avoid the opponent’s psychological warfare, or just facing it head-on?
Xiang Shan made his decision almost instantly.
This is not a one-on-one slaughter. In situations where one is against many, a lone Martial Artist must not lose the observation of the surroundings.
Moreover, so-called psychological warfare needs to be conducted in the most sudden way when the opponent lacks space for thought. Once the target is ntally prepared, the effects of any psychological warfare are greatly diminished.
—If the Six Dragons Sect Leader intends to tell stories, he might even get so information about the Six Dragons Sect…
The Holy Lord used one arm to immobilize Xiang Shan’s left arm, pinched Xiang Shan’s wrist joint, restraining the arm with magnetic scissors.
He said to Xiang Shan: “My original self was an ambitious person. After witnessing the imnse influence of Martial Gods, I wanted to obtain this power, so I can even abandon my own personality… I’m just such a ruthless person. Just think about it, my na before becoming Xiang Shan—ah, right, this is how you call , ‘Director Sun.’ I haven’t forgotten, have I?”
—Is that it?
This thought popped up in Xiang Shan’s mind. Frankly speaking, if there was a loose end from the Usurper of the State, and that person made such a choice, he wouldn’t be surprised at all.
It seems only this can explain why the Six Dragons Sect Leader is completely different from other Martial Gods.
“—You think this is my origin, don’t you?” Six Dragons’ Holy Lord chuckled sinisterly: “If thinking like this can give you a bit of self-consolation, you might as well take it as truth.”
Xiang Shan’s remaining magnetic chain weapon suddenly thrust towards Six Dragons’ Holy Lord’s head: “Oh? Do you want to say sothing else?”
The Six Dragons Sect Leader dodged this attack: “The story goes like this. It was when the Fourth Martial God had not yet been defeated. The birth of the first true personality mask inspired the entire Jianghu. There was a swordsman over a hundred years old who greatly admired Xiang Shan. Just the consecutive defeats of the Second and Third Martial Gods made him a bit desperate. The Fourth Martial God did not hide his real condition and indeed made so achievents, so he started to think about transforming himself like soone about to drown grabbing a lifeline.”
“Of course, a swordsman so passionate naturally wouldn’t disregard the issue of ‘Martial Ancestor’s aversion to Martial God’s Geng Sheng.’ But imdiately, King Aqini destroyed the Fourth Martial God along with the Space City. This caused a crack in this Naless Swordsman’s belief. He hesitated no longer and decided to beco Xiang Shan to save the world.”
“However, this poor soul overlooked one thing—Xiang Shan’s mory Labyrinth didn’t just contain Xiang Shan’s own mories, it also included other people’s mories of Xiang Shan. And among others’ mories of Xiang Shan, it included Xiang Shan’s disguised persona.”
At this point, the Six Dragons Sect Leader asked loudly: “In the eyes of ordinary people, what exactly did Xiang Shan do on ‘that day’ in Sheluke Midom?”
