The figure in the black robe darted across the stage, rushing towards the shattered Chen Ling.
He snatched Chen Ling's head, which had fallen to the side of the stage. He opened his mouth, ready to tear off a large portion of it, when suddenly, a dazzling aurora burst forth from Chen Ling's eyes!
*Thump!*
The scorching heat made the figure in the black robe instinctively loosen its grip, and Chen Ling's head rolled to the ground.
"What is this?!" The figure in the black robe stared in shock at its hands, its face showing disbelief.
A faint aurora flowed across the stage. Chen Ling's severed head, which had fallen, gradually faded and vanished. The next second, the headless figure in the robe slowly stood up beside it. The dark, severed neck suddenly seemed to come alive, extending upwards...
A brand new head was reborn on the severed neck of the great red robe!
He lightly raised his fingertips, and a silver card dissipated into the air.
"Skill: Self-Reconstruction of Biological Magnetic Fields and Consciousness Frequencies.""Attribution: *Theory of Magnetic Fields*, Chapter Four.""Character: Yang Xiao."
Chen Ling, his aurora-infused eyes fixed coldly on the black-robed figure before him, spoke slowly, word by word: "This is the power of knowledge... you fool."
In the past six months or so with the Fusion faction, Chen Ling had diligently studied, thoroughly grasping the essence of fusion and the principles of Slaying Malevolence. While these insights couldn't provide him with substantial, visible improvements, at critical moments, they were keys capable of changing fate.
As the saying goes, one regrets not having studied more when it's time to apply knowledge. At this moment, the black-robed figure still couldn't comprehend Chen Ling's act of regenerating his own head. Perhaps even the personalities of Mocking Calamity themselves didn't truly understand the nature of their constant infighting here. They merely followed their instincts as Mocking Calamity, violently and recklessly initiating one fight after another, just to stand on that stage, enjoy a few days of unbridled pleasure, and then be eliminated by the next personality. But now, a scholar had emerged in their midst.
Chen Ling had fully grasped the essence of Slaying Malevolence and the infighting within Mocking Calamity. By leveraging the knowledge he had acquired, he had found his own "cheat" key.
Chen Ling's luck was both good and bad. The good news was that he had fortunately drawn an ability related to the "soul" from Yang Xiao's many capabilities. The bad news was that "Self-Reconstruction of Biological Magnetic Fields and Consciousness Frequencies" was the earliest of all of Aurora Monarch's "soul" abilities. When activated, this ability allowed one to visually perceive biological magnetic fields, or the existence of "souls." It also allowed one to modify one's own "soul" by altering one's magnetic field, though this effect was limited to oneself. However, for Chen Ling, this was already sufficient.
Under the spotlight, aurora flickered in the eyes of the great red robe. His figure visibly grew taller; the body beneath the robe became solid and heavy, with a terrifying sense of power almost radiating from him. At nearly three meters tall, Chen Ling directly transformed into a giant on the stage. Compared to him, the black-robed figure's body seemed so fragile it could be toppled by a gust of wind.
The black-robed figure: ????????
"Why?! We're all 'audience members,' so why are you able to grow so large?!"
"You like to cheat, do you?" Chen Ling looked down at the black-robed figure below him and spoke calmly. "Then let's see... who can cheat more effectively."
The great red robe left a blur on the stage, charging directly towards the black-robed figure's face like an unstoppable armored vehicle! The black-robed figure gritted its teeth and crossed its arms in front of its chest. The moment the two robes collided again, an immense, terrifying force directly overwhelmed the black-robed figure's original strength. It staggered back several steps, barely managing to regain its balance. Its former overwhelming power advantage over Chen Ling was gone. Now, the roles were reversed.
*Thud!*
Chen Ling swung another incredibly fast punch, directly sending the off-balance black-robed figure flying. After soaring several meters through the air, it crashed heavily to the ground. The black-robed figure watched as it drew closer to the edge of the stage, a flicker of anger in its eyes. Its hands suddenly visibly elongated slightly, digging deeply into the gaps in the floorboards. Then, using the elasticity of its arms, it shot forward again, rushing towards Chen Ling like a hurricane!
"Do you think just because you drew Yang Xiao's ability, you're guaranteed to beat me?!" The black-robed figure snarled, sweeping in front of Chen Ling, its fists raining down too fast for the human eye to track. Yet, every one of its attacks was precisely blocked by Chen Ling. The great red robe, under the spotlight, resembled a swirling red cloud. Under the gaze of those aurora-infused eyes, a cold glint flashed across the black-robed figure's face. Its flailing fists, seemingly boneless, suddenly twisted in mid-air, unexpectedly striking towards Chen Ling's face! In their previous battle, it had used this unexpected tactic to injure Chen Ling. This time, its trajectory was even more cunning, directly breaching Chen Ling's defensive arms!
However, just as its fist was about to connect with Chen Ling, a hand steadily caught the blow. The black-robed figure froze. It looked up in astonishment, seeing that Chen Ling had, at some point, grown a third arm, which appeared grotesque and eerie under the spotlight.
"You..." Before the black-robed figure could finish speaking, a fourth arm rapidly grew out, delivering a powerful punch to its face!
*Thwack!*
With both hands held by Chen Ling, the black-robed figure had no chance to block the strike. Its body hit the ground heavily like a sandbag, a dull thud echoing across the stage. Four thick arms bulged beneath the robe. Chen Ling had no intention of giving the black-robed figure a chance to retaliate. He immediately used his full strength, all four arms clenching into fists simultaneously, and a flurry of whistling punches rained down like a storm onto the black-robed figure's body!
*Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump!*
With two fists no match for four arms, the black-robed figure had no room to retaliate against Chen Ling's furious assault. Its face twisted in a furious roar: "You're cheating!!"
"Weren't you the one who first used a 'human wave' tactic?" Chen Ling said calmly. "When you directed hundreds of fists to hit me, why didn't you cry foul then?"
Chen Ling's four fists attacked with increasing ferocity, distorting and deforming the black-robed figure's head. The latter seemed about to say something more, but as Chen Ling delivered a powerful punch to its neck, the black-robed figure's neck instantly turned into a pulpy mess, and its head rolled to the side.
The black-robed figure's voice abruptly cut off.
The bright spotlights flickered one after another, and the entire stage grew dim as the black-robed figure fell. A moment later, the spotlight seemed to shift its focus, slowly moving to the other side and regaining its brightness. Under the shining spotlight, the great red robe slowly stood up.
