Six mutants, each fighting in pairs, everyone had their own considerations.
Guxing Li and Titanium Cobalt Zhenhe were considered the strongest by most—even they thought so, seeing each other as their greatest opponents. At this point, rankings had beco irrelevant; they had to defeat the other to prove themselves.
Cang Ya and Cai Xia* Dawn Blade, two beautiful won, seed to have so contradictions.
They were equally matched in strength and both favored energy and wide-range damage, which was perfect for a showdown.
Finally, there was Ji Xinghuo and Wu Kuchalang.
Ji Xinghuo actually didn’t care; he would fight anyone. Whether it was a free-for-all or even one against five, he would accept it.
But others didn’t think the sa way.
Wu Kuchalang didn’t know about Ji Xinghuo before this. His understanding was limited to seeing Ji Xinghuo eliminate a group of experts with formidable Archery Skill after the safety zone shrank. Naturally, he assud Ji Xinghuo excelled at long-range attacks.
He didn’t simply assu Ji Xinghuo’s lee was a weakness, but compared to the terrifying Archery Skill, lee seed more manageable and offered a greater chance of victory.
And close combat was Wu Kuchalang’s specialty.
Play to your strengths, attack the opponent’s weaknesses.
The two were ten kiloters apart, a distance neither side considered far.
Wu Kuchalang stomped on the ground fiercely, and with a boom, his towering figure shot out like a cannonball, entering supersonic speed in the blink of an eye.
In flight, the carapace on his back opened up.
It was a pair of tough wing cases that had never been unfolded before. Underneath the wing cases, two pairs of transparent, ultra-tough wings, each more than three ters long, revealed themselves, vibrating at a frequency invisible to the naked eye, propelling his body to tear through the air.
The sound explosion burst forth.
Wu Kuchalang’s speed increased explosively again, surpassing 3 Mach.
The Dragon Guards’ speed of sound was lower, at about 240 ters per second, and even so, a speed of 3 Mach was quite astonishing.
In just 14 seconds, Wu Kuchalang could rush in front of Ji Xinghuo.
However, just three seconds into his flight and still around 8,000 ters away from Ji Xinghuo, a Chain Arrow was shot at him. Five arrows linked in a line, dragging a current trail a kiloter long, shot straight at his eyes.
Wu Kuchalang was shocked.
"Such a long range, and so accurate!"
"He predicted my attack."
Not only Wu Kuchalang, but also the hundreds of millions of viewers in Titanium Ring City watching the battle were astounded by the arrow.
Especially the archers, who couldn’t imagine how Ji Xinghuo did it.
Everyone couldn’t help but think, if it were themselves facing Ji Xinghuo, with such a terrifying Archery Skill, how would they deal with it?
As people’s thoughts flashed by, not yet arriving at an answer, they saw Wu Kuchalang, while flying, throwing a punch to bluntly et Ji Xinghuo’s Chain Arrow. His hands were different from humans, without five fingers, but more like black pincer-like claws, capable of piercing, clamping, cutting, and could also shrink into spiked fists.
At the sa ti, Wu Kuchalang’s eyes turned pitch black, releasing terrifing Star Power fluctuations.
Boom!
An invisible Defense layer appeared around Wu Kuchalang’s fist, like a force field, thin as a cicada’s wing. The Chain Arrows struck it without penetrating.
The impact and electric current on the arrows erupted, undergoing a Vector Offset.
Most of the force was diverted away.
The remaining energy hit Wu Kuchalang’s fists and was easily blocked, his hardened chitin layer only marked with a trace, absorbing so of the electric current.
However, Wu Kuchalang’s flight speed suddenly plumted to almost a standstill.
He imdiately vibrated his mbranous wings, trying to accelerate again.
Another Chain Arrow flew towards him, only a second behind the previous one. Wu Kuchalang, unafraid, swung his fist to et it.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Three consecutive Chain Arrows were dispersed by Wu Kuchalang’s fists without causing injury.
But Wu Kuchalang’s speed just couldn’t pick up.
More than seven thousand ters away,
After firing three arrows in succession, Ji Xinghuo’s rhythm slowed down, as the Chain Arrow consud too much Star Power.
Since breaking through the defense was impossible, there was no need to waste more Star Power and instead switched to shooting Blast Arrows—less consuming, higher frequency. The Spiritual String Song was like a machine gun, spewing out a stream of lightning arrows that whistled on their way to Wu Kuchalang in rapid succession.
Amongst the thunderous roars, Wu Kuchalang swiftly closed the gap.
The Blast Arrows constantly exploded on him, barely reducing his flight speed, closing the distance between them quickly.
Ji Xinghuo’s gaze remained cool.
He didn’t release his Shadow Clones to burst out damage and focus-fire the enemy, but continued shooting while closely monitoring the invisible Defense on Wu Kuchalang’s body.
Wanxiang Star Pupil could see through the surface, discerning the truth.
"So, it’s Vector Offset!"
Soon, Ji Xinghuo recognized Wu Kuchalang’s Ability. Vector Offset was a Star Fall Ability that allowed the "quantity with both magnitude and direction," including force and energy, to deviate from its original trajectory.
This greatly weakens an opponent’s attack and is one of the best defense Abilities—perhaps the best there is!
"No wonder..."
Ji Xinghuo realized, "My Chain Arrows, not even Heavenly King would dare to endure head-on, yet he does with no harm."
The powerful characteristic of Vector Offset can ignore most attacks.
re numbers are useless.
Even if Ji Xinghuo and eight Shadow Clones focus-fired, the Shadow Clones’ attacks are not as potent as the original body’s and no matter how nurous, they couldn’t break through Wu Kuchalang’s Vector Defense.
There was only one way to penetrate it—overload the damage, far surpassing the vector limit Wu Kuchalang could divert.
Burst right through him!
If he could fire multiple Chain Arrows at the sa ti, perhaps it would be possible. But a Shadow Clone’s Chain Arrow, to reach the original’s damage potential, could only shoot once before dissipating, just one chance, consuming over 20,000 points of Star Power.
