Unbeatable...

At the end of the thoughts, in a blank space with nothing but chaos, the consciousness that still called itself "Motan" made the above judgment.

This is not a brilliant assumption. After all, even if the professional player named Xinglong lost an arm, and this body, which had already offset all the side effects including the loss of half-dragon characteristics, was recovering at a high speed, not only would he still be able to fight with a fully liberated [Reverse Scale] posture for quite some time, but both his bones and muscles would be able to recover to a large extent in a few breaths. However, this still could not make up for the huge gap between the two.

This is normal. It really is normal.

In the final analysis, being able to reach this point with only about a quarter of the game time of an ordinary player, and even causing this person standing at the top of the professional circle to lose his left arm, can be said to be a "feat" for Mo Tan. Any dissatisfaction can be directly equated with the word "arrogance".

In this competition, the opponent had no reason to lose, and I had no reason to win. Everything happened so naturally and smoothly.

It was a very good result. I got promoted, Xinglong barely got his fill of the fight, and the Red Constellation advanced without providing any extra information. And for myself, Lu Jiang, and Ji Xiaoge, this battle of accusations could also come to a successful conclusion.

There was nothing bad happening, and there was no unexpected thing that I didn't want to see.

Very good results.

Perfect result.

Mo Tan undoubtedly thought so, so he didn't understand why there was such undisguised disappointment in Xinglong's eyes, and why the biting anger in his heart was not dissipated at all.

He doesn't understand.

He really doesn't understand.

He didn't want to understand at all.

But obviously, he actually understood.

Because I want to win.

Because I am not convinced.

Because someone is watching.

Because I don’t want to quit.

Because the nameless anger is getting more and more intense.

Of course Mo Tan understood, because the facts were already in front of him. Although he was too tired to even raise his hand, he still clenched [Akatsuki] again, moved his body with a terrifying recovery speed, slowly stood up from the human-shaped ravine under him, and looked up at the arrogant figure.

I have to admit that Xinglong is too strong.

If he hadn't been unlucky enough to meet Cordoba so early, he might have gone further and winning the championship would not have been impossible.

Admittedly, Mo Tan has equated someone who calls himself a scenery party with the third-ranked [Anonymous] in the personal combat power ranking, but perhaps because he has fought with the opponent once, he believes that if Ji Xiaodao and Xinglong are allowed to confront each other head-on, the former, who for some reason seems to find it difficult to use his full strength, may not be able to win easily.

As I said, Xinglong is too strong.

When countless factors including but not limited to talent, hard work, self-discipline, and love are concentrated in the same person, the upper limit of what he can burst out can no longer be quantified. The main theme is to become stronger when facing stronger opponents and to defeat stronger opponents.

And no matter when he was fighting with a certain [Anonymous], or when he was "sparring" with Xinglong now, in a corner deep in Mo Tan's heart, there was always a sharp and hot anger hidden under the peace.

It is the most powerless, the most idealistic, the most humble, the indignation against fate, as well as the resentment and resistance to all compromises.

It's just that all of this has been suppressed in a quiet, deep, dusty corner deep in his heart for a long time.

In the end, after stripping almost everything from himself, the last thing that Mo Tan insisted on under his current personality was the illusory and worthless will to protect, and...

The desire for power.

It is true that "Mo" in the Realm of Innocence is a man who is deeply respected and loved by everyone, with a polite, humble, kind and always considerate of others, but this does not mean that he should be labeled as "pedantic" and "formulaic". In fact, unlike those people whose heads are full of short-sighted fantasies, Mo Tan has always been practicing his own justice in a down-to-earth manner, rather than hysterically forcing or begging others to recognize his justice.

The foundation for practicing justice is the word "strength".

The only thing he could manage in the "cracks", and also the only thing he could show off, was the word "strength".

But he is not strong enough...

How can this not make people angry? !

And at this moment, what is dominating "Mo" is the wound that he has deliberately ignored and pretended not to see for more than twenty years.

There is hatred and hostility towards all things that are subjectively deemed unjust, including one's own other side, and the [rage] that distorts and arbitrarily interprets the love for justice and cannot tolerate any unnecessary interpretations.

They are pathologically carrying everything within their sight, but are unwilling to spend even a second on themselves, failing to cherish their own laziness with all their heart.

Whether or not it is about "sex", but ignoring one's own inner voice, blindly pursuing a certain obsession, ultimately leads to "lust" that blinds one's vision.

There is the [greed] of pursuing perfection that does not exist and wanting to show this perfection to the world by oneself, thereby seeking some kind of empty superiority.

There are those who indulge in their own justice but forget that they also need fair care, and they never know satisfaction [gluttony].

There is the [arrogance] of being determined to be right and to carry it out at all costs, even if it means suffering.

And jealousy towards those who are not dominated by the above wounds and cracks.

These are the negative emotions that are locked deep inside the heart by the current personality, Mo Tan, or "Mo".

There is a saying that honest people are the most terrifying when they get angry. If we look into it from a rational perspective, the so-called "terrible" thing is simply that the so-called "honest people" are not good at venting their negative emotions, but they are unable to digest them through their own efforts, which eventually leads to those negative emotions breaking through the threshold after accumulating to a certain level, and causing unspeakable consequences.

Originally, it was just a bad temper every now and then, but if those three or five days of depression extend to a week, a month, or even a year, those originally insignificant little tempers, little willfulness, and little quarrels may evolve into extreme consequences, including but not limited to murder.

  What about black sandalwood?

In a sense, he never endured even for a second.

In a sense, he was just living an ordinary and serious life.

In a sense, he has been suppressing himself for more than twenty years.

Once upon a time, Mo Tan thought of the answer immediately after noticing this problem, which is that although one side of himself is somewhat suppressed, it will be forced to balance by the unbridledness of the other side, and finally achieve mental stability.

However, at this moment, after realizing that the crushed camel named "Motan" had never existed since he was old enough to understand, and that he had never balanced himself, the nature of the matter changed.

The emotions that had been suppressed deep in his heart for more than twenty years began to boil over. Along with the bursting of the dam called rationality, they directly swept away the mind called subconsciousness and rushed through Mo Tan from the inside out, completing the first release.

And Xinglong was the target that this subconscious mind used to vent its endless negative emotions. Unfortunately, the strength of this target was too strong, and as a result, it not only completed the task of venting satisfactorily, but also annoyed the subconscious mind that already had "laziness" mixed in it.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Mo Tan was given a different opponent at this moment, even if it was Mu Xuejian, after the former took the initiative to seal the weapon "Ruthless Sword", it would be difficult for him to withstand Mo Tan who kept reproducing any moves he saw without scruples, like a storm that never stops for a moment. After all, while the full release of [Herrscher's Determination] and [Reverse Scale] was still continuing, his recovery ability was so strong that even broken bones could be healed by breathing.

But Xinglong is not Mu Xuejian. Even though he lost his left arm and Emperor Cang's Qinglong Will, he still has to suppress Mo Tan by one level. Not only that, after getting used to the latter's fighting rhythm that ordinary people can't see any rhythm at all, he even felt a bit disappointed, because in his cognition, 'Mo' is not this kind of uncreative person who can't give him any pressure when he is not strong enough.

So, even if the opponent in front of him stood up again, Xinglong was still a little annoyed.

Not only him, but even Mo's subconscious mind that was controlling his body seemed a little tired because laziness and fatigue gradually took over.

After that, Xinglong maintained the suppression and finally delayed until the duration of Motan's [Reverse Scale] ended.

Since [The Herrscher's Will] offset the side effects of the full release of [Inverse Scale], Mo Tan did not lose the characteristics of a half-dragon, but only lost the power brought by [Inverse Scale] and returned to normal.

After realizing that the opponent's condition had deteriorated significantly, Xinglong did not delay any longer. He used the [Flame Fist] without hesitation to kill Mo Tan and eliminated him.

As agreed, Ji Xiaoge and Lu Jiang also obediently withdrew from the competition. At this point, [Zoo] was eliminated, [Red Constellation] advanced to the quarterfinals, and the game ended successfully.

As for the negative emotions that were difficult to express, they were naturally suppressed by Mo Tan back into the depths of his subconscious after the game. After the [Guilt Debate] ended and the system took back the special treatment, they never saw the light of day again.

All are happy.

  Everyone is happy~

……

If nothing unexpected happens, the above should be the direction after this game.

Although he did not have the ability to predict the future, Mo Tan could still easily make this level of prediction. After all, with his intelligence, he had guessed the moment he "got into trouble" that it might be related to "Blood Release", "Ashura Halberd" and "the backdoor opened by the system".

The conscious mind wandering in chaos tries to give up thinking.

Then he failed.

The reason is very simple. Whether it is the so-called conscious mind or the subconscious mind, it is actually the same thing in the final analysis.

Whether it is the palm or the back of the hand, it is actually "hand".

The idea that the subconscious mind controls the body and the conscious mind is deep in the spirit is just a high-level self-deception.

This kind of self-deception might be able to fool people like Hei Fan, Dora, Luna, and Yi Dong, but it cannot fool 'Mo' in the Realm of Innocence.

After all, he has been in a state where the cost of lying is too high for a long time.

"Ugh."

So, after inevitably realizing this, Mo finally opened his eyes and sighed tiredly.

Then--

Those vertical pupils that were filled with fatigue and anger began to flicker.

It is worth mentioning that no matter whether it was fatigue, anger, or any other negative emotions, they did not fade away from Mo Tan's eyes along with that look, but instead constituted a part of those eyes together with it.

"Feel sorry."

Having reunited himself, Mo Tan, who was no longer in his usual gentle and peaceful state, looked up at Xing Long and said calmly, "I was distracted just now."

"Ok?"

Xinglong, who originally looked impatient, was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise: "Are you okay?"

"I can't say it's all right."

Mo Tan casually transformed [Xiao] into the form of a ruthless sword and said calmly: "I can maintain this state for a short while. I hope I won't let you down again."

Xinglong grinned, and the red phantom flame attached to his right fist surged up against the wind: "I have a feeling that you will only bring me surprises now."

"maybe……"

Mo Tan gently placed his left index finger on the edge of the Merciless Sword, using the cold touch to calm his emotions, while muttering, "Anyway, you'd better give it your all."

The next moment, without any warning, Xinglong's body suddenly tilted to the left, and the pair of flaming wings behind him were cut off by nearly a quarter by an invisible sword light. Not only that, at the moment he tried to avoid it, several silhouettes of people holding swords and with wings on their backs suddenly appeared around him out of thin air, and passed by him at a dazzling speed.

The wings behind him instantly turned into a ball of flame and dissipated. Xinglong fell to the ground again with a muffled groan. There were several criss-crossing sword marks on his body. Less than two meters in front of him, Mo Tan still maintained the posture of gently stroking the edge of the blade, without moving a single step from beginning to end.

Then--

  Bang!Bang!

As two bursts of flames flashed by, the crimson fire wings spread out again behind Xinglong, and the numerous sword marks on his body quickly healed under the burning of the flames. They were healed in the blink of an eye, and his health points were restored to 100% at the same time.

"What was that just now?"

Xinglong cast an inquiring look at Motan and asked curiously.

"Feel something that might cause you trouble."

Mo Tan sighed, leaned down weakly, his upper body parallel to the ground, his left hand and right hand were placed on the hilt and handle of [Xiao·Ruthless Sword] respectively, and his tone was so calm that it was distorted: "Don't worry, there are still many surprises."
