And when the burning Spiritual Blade sliced down again, this time, he finally saw clearly. The area about to be cut by the blade's edge had preemptively dissipated, turning into scattering shadows, only to reconstitute right after the blade passed over!

——Shadow Transformation!

This damned thing had transformed part of its shadowy shell, completely ignoring his attack!

Bang!

The muted explosion of the Shield shattering burst forth, and the sharp tail sting, like a spear, followed the crack and shot towards his head. But at the crucial moment, the necklace flashed again, and a violent repulsion burst forth, repelling every invading object!

The little bull was flung backward!

Regrettably, the sound of something shattering arose suddenly, coming from the fingertips of Lou Feng.

A gemstone on a ring silently shattered.

And there, on the back of Lou Feng's hand, without warning, a bruise appeared, swelling rapidly and bringing an indescribable sensation of sour numbness and itching pain.

The bullet had not penetrated the body but was deflected by the consumptive Shield on the ring, refracting elsewhere.

And it wasn't until now that the delayed sound of gunfire arrived from the distance.

When he looked up, he saw the faint wisp of gunsmoke above Ji Jue's gun barrel.

He had fired.

Merely a single use had already allowed Ji Jue to perceive the pattern and limitations.

Such undiscriminating repulsion, repelling all threats, was probably akin to the blessing of Heavenly Origin, no different from the earlier gravity effect.

Indeed, it was troublesome to be unable to get close, but an indiscriminate and unrestricted 360-degree effect implied an even greater consumption of resources—it couldn't possibly last. Otherwise, there would be no need for Ji Jue to continue the fight.

And the most economical and appropriate way to use it was to maintain it for an instant, push back the enemy, then calmly increase the distance and commence the offensive.

And after that moment passed, before the Spiritual Shield could regenerate, that was the crucial opportunity!

In just such a manner, from amidst the wait... a direct hit!

"We've come this far, might as well call it, old Lou."

Ji Jue sincerely suggested, "Just concede, it'll save us both some trouble."

Honestly, he didn't know what the opponent's original tactics were. It was clear he hadn't acted as the other had anticipated, such that the preparation was mostly useless.

Now, with the full firepower of the little bull, the situation was completely different.

They were all Summoning Stage Chosen Ones who had not further evolved, and Lou Feng merely had an added Matrix, not meaning he possessed much more spiritual substance than him.

If the Spiritual Shield couldn't completely defend and the repulsion field couldn't always be maintained, Ji Jue only needed to wear him down, a few more times, and Lou Feng would naturally crumble without being struck.

But Ji Jue leaned upon the Spiritual reserve of the Sky Rail System, having a hidden energy bar several times longer than himself.

There was no contest.

For a time, silence fell once more, with no one speaking out, only the squawking of seabirds echoing amidst the distant sounds.

Boom!

An explosive sound burst forth.

Beneath Lou Feng's feet, cracks emerged.

"Concede?"

That pale face lifted, specks of blood surfacing in his eyes, unable to bear such a bizarre humiliation, he flew into a rage, "Arrogant fool!"

The sound of breaking didn't stop, it rose from the air, the spiritual material that fluctuated between solid, liquid, and gas state, seemed to boil, making crackling sounds.

When Lou Feng crushed a bead from his bracelet, the originally nearly depleted spiritual substance suddenly recovered, and even surged!

Time Sand?!

Ji Jue's eyes nearly popped out.

Such a large bracelet, every single bead made of Time Sand, known to be the best carrier of spiritual matter, each comparable to a High-rank Chosen One's blue potion?!

Such precious material, used for one-time consumables?

"Is this what they call the power of money?!"

And it seemed it wasn't just that...

At this moment, a massive flow of spiritual energy surged under Superior's manipulation, intertwining into a fierce outline that enveloped Lou Feng. In the end, atop the void of spiritual energy, a metallic luster actually emerged.

Faint spiritual circuits intersected, and the Heavenly Origin Emblem appeared once more, forming a brand-new silhouette.

That was Spiritual Armor that completely shrouded Lou Feng from head to toe! Like bronze casting, adorned with gold, majestic and ferocious, its aura rose as if it were a living being.

This was the Lou Family's secret technique—

—Spiritual Shaping·Dragon Scale Armor!

"Master Kong, isn't this basically cheating?"

Ye Chun couldn't hold back anymore and raised his voice. The Dragon Scale Armor was a technique that only a Chosen One of Rebirth Rank could use; it was entirely beyond the capabilities of both fighters, and even surpassed not just one Rank!

Kong Qingyan sternly retorted, "All the alchemy items were made by him personally, and all the spiritual energy was also accumulated by himself. It's nothing more than the result of painstaking effort, how can it be considered cheating?"

Ye Chun subconsciously looked at his aunt.

But Ye Xian remained silent, just like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving.

No reaction whatsoever.

In an instant, the whole arena, apart from the distant sound of Tide Sound and the puttering of vehicles outside the wall, fell into dead silence.

And between the outstretched hands of Lou Feng, the gasified spiritual energy converged, forming two intensely hot Jet Blades. Merely by waving them in the air, deep fissures were cut into the ground.

He strode towards Ji Jue.

Enhanced by Superior's blessing, he accelerated and shot forward!

And Ji Jue, he sighed silently.

He knew it all too well; this rich playboy's words were as good as farts.

Where was there even a hint of grace in defeat?

It was agreed to have a hearty and unreserved duel, but as soon as you lose a drop of blood or run out of energy, you can't wait to spam ALT+1, ALT+2 to the point of breaking, starting to play dirty, right?!

Well then, don't blame me for discarding the rules of the underworld.

You started it first!

"I really didn't want to resort to this move..."

He sighed with regret, stepping back once, then again, and with the enhancement from White Deer, he shot backwards, uncaring of the rapidly approaching Lou Feng and the decreasing distance between them.

Until there was no more room to retreat, back against the wall.

In that instant, Kong Qingyan, who had been coldly watching, seemed to finally realize something, her expression changed drastically, and she opened her mouth wanting to say something, but alas, it was already too late.

Putt putt putt putt putt—

The shrill sound of the water pump from behind the wall grew more intense, like a furious beating heart.

Accompanied by Ji Jue's raised palm, suddenly clenched tight.

—"Vehicle incoming"!

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge steel creation violently shook and raced forward without warning, smashing through the factory's exterior wall. Emerging from the flying dust and bursting bricks, it barged straight in.

Heading directly for Lou Feng, it charged!

But the silhouette that appeared amidst the dust wasn't a fully loaded truck speeding down the road, but a special vehicle that had been parked since morning next to the roadside drain, busy at work...

Towing thick pump hoses, carrying an intimidatingly large water tank, and a horrific stench that could turn stomachs.

This was the hidden option that had been excluded from Ji Jue's tactical choices from the moment he arrived at the arena: the ultimate evolution of an earthmover's draw...

The manure truck draw!!!
