This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 469: Stalemate and hard fight, victory speech
Not long after, the energy surging violently on the ring suddenly stopped, the Yuan Clan dispersed, and Lancaster, lying on the ground like a dead dog, had a dazed look on his face.

The next moment, he floated down from the stage with a dazed look on his face.

Li Ming understood that state very well. It was not just that he was beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself, he was beaten to the point of being stunned.

He has experienced this countless times.

Of course, for these life forms that have long stood at the top of the interstellar space, this feeling has probably not been experienced for a long, long time.

"Alas... I really shouldn't have expected anything from you." The giant sighed.

The faces of many people present changed. They were all high-ranking people, and such disappointed tones were really heartbreaking.

"Next..." The giant spoke. Deus's delicate cheeks changed. He gritted his teeth and went up to the stage.

Her evolutionary path was obviously not good at close combat, and her strength was not as good as Lancaster. In the second round, she was defeated.

"Next..." The giant had no expression on his face. The next one was Gonzalez. He immediately said, "I give up."

He knew his situation and knew there was no way he could win. Rather than getting beaten up and losing face, he might as well give up.

"Give up?" The giant looked at him with obvious contempt, "You don't even dare to fight, you are a piece of trash among trash, roll to the second to last place."

Gonzalez's face changed slightly. These words were too vicious.

But in this inexplicable space, he had no ability to resist the giant and could only walk silently to the end of the team.

He stopped and glanced at Li Ming.

For some reason, his mood suddenly improved a lot. Even though he gave up and was looked down upon by this giant, he still stood in front of Li Ming.

Li Ming had already taken a step back, feeling speechless. It was outrageous that even those who abstained could stand in front of him.

How is this comprehensive potential assessed?
But it just so happens that after absorbing Claude, I can absorb Gonzalez. Not bad... Not bad...

"Be careful, this kid has bad intentions." Claude reminded. Gonzalez nodded, but didn't care.

Li Ming is just Li Ming, what else can he do?

Li Ming glanced at the other person's back and pointed his finger at the other person's neck.

"What are you doing?" Gonzalez was startled and suddenly spoke. Li Ming's eyes blurred and he flew backwards.

"Don't shout!" said the giant in a deep voice.

"He was provoking me from behind." Gonzalez gritted his teeth and got up.

The giant's eyes swept over, and Li Ming was ready to be kicked away. He just glanced at him and said indifferently: "You gave up the game, you deserve it."

Gonzalez was almost furious, his chest heaving, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but he could do nothing.

He walked back unwillingly and stared at Li Ming coldly, "If you dare to do anything tricky again, Qinglong can't protect you."

He left these words, but just as he stood still, he felt something strange about his arm, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Li Ming simply turned a deaf ear to his words.

Another X-level gene source. Li Ming pondered, not knowing what the results would be after Gonzalez's gene source was extracted.

He is not a genetically evolved body, but an alternative evolutionary system.

But once the genetic material is extracted, it will inevitably show some signs, and it is very likely that it will be traced back to him.

See if there is any chance to kill these two guys.

By the time he had absorbed Gonzalez's genetic essence, it was Reynolds' turn. Although he had fought more than once, he still went up.

They were beaten down in the second round. Their physical strength was indeed not that good.

"It seems that no one can pass this time." Mikhail sighed.

The people from the three major civilizations all had somewhat strange expressions on their faces. They were full of confidence when they came, believing that there would be no problem that could not be solved if they joined forces. However, they failed at the first step.

After Claw was thrown off, the giant looked around at everyone and said indifferently: "As expected, it is like this. You are the last one. Do you still want to waste time?"

"Well, if possible, I'd like to try..." Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Yes, although his potential is low, he dares to fight and fight hard, unlike the second to last one." The giant was not angry. Instead, he praised him and pulled Gonzalez out to whip his corpse.

"Go ahead, give it a try." The giant waved his hand, and Li Ming's body flew up uncontrollably.

The people in the audience didn't care and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

This first place is so difficult, and the remaining places may not be so easy to solve.

If we come here, we won't return in vain, right?
"Mikhail, please tell us clearly about the situation in the remaining places first, so that we don't have to wait until the last minute..." Klaue frowned, and before he could finish his words, he heard an unbelievable shout from Costat.

"S-class life form!"

Everyone looked subconsciously and their faces suddenly froze. They saw that the Yuan clan that appeared in the surging mist had declined by more than one level in both physique and breath strength.

"How could he be an S-class life form? This trial is based on the life form itself..." Crow frowned, and suddenly realized halfway through his words: "Li Ming is already an S-class life form?"

The audience was silent, and many higher life forms were in shock.

Just now they were doubting Li Ming's development potential and whether it was fake, but now they are hit hard.

"How could it be an S-class life form..." Reynolds murmured. Mikhail also lost his usual calmness and looked solemn: "This speed is too fast."

Costat was the first to react, as if he had thought of something.

I subconsciously touched my middle finger and found a ring on it. It was a folded space, but I couldn't open it at all.

"Unbelievable..." Dius's delicate face was full of astonishment, and he murmured in a low voice, "There is really something wrong with the detection mechanism of this place."

Gonzalez's face became increasingly gloomy, and he stared at Li Ming on the ring.

"Qinglong is indeed worthy of his reputation. He dares to send a student like this to take risks." Cedric couldn't help but admire.

Costat couldn't help but speculate: "If it is based on the level of life, Li Ming may have a chance to pass."

Others have also realized this, and the lower the level of life, the smaller the gap.

Qinglong didn't know this would happen, right?

Mikhail's face was gloomy. Although they shared a lot of information about Qinglong, they had hidden the information of several key areas.

No, he was hiding it, as for Reynolds...

He glanced at Reynolds, who seemed quite excited.

Li Ming's face looked very solemn, as if he was also very cautious, waiting for the other party to attack first.

This S-level Yuan clan member suddenly moved, with gray-black lightning bursting out of his body, and rushed over like a black shadow.

"Gray lightning energy... mainly causes frontal damage, and will cause some paralysis in the middle and later stages, and will affect the spiritual body..."

Relevant information subconsciously emerged in Li Ming's mind, but on the surface he looked a little flustered. After being hit head-on, his limbs twitched and he staggered.

"Serious lack of combat experience..." Gonzalez sneered, "It will probably be difficult to win in the first round." "Shut up!" The giant said in a deep voice, "A rubbish that gave up the game has no right to comment."

Gonzalez: "..."

"Although my combat experience is insufficient, I only have one opponent after all." Costat shook his head.

The S-level battle was clear to them.

The tactics adopted by Li Ming were similar to those they had used in the early stages. He would defend first, figure out the opponent's methods and battle rhythm, then find an opportunity to counterattack and act decisively. It was not difficult to win.

"Li Ming's development progress does not exceed 10%, and the enemy's combat capability should be around 30S. The gene seeds fused by Li Ming should all be the strongest, slightly stronger than the enemy." Deus roughly guessed Li Ming's current strength performance.

“Less than 10%…” Everyone looked surprised. Li Ming was already an S-level life form, which was amazing enough. Even a little more development progress would be astonishing.

"Too many opportunities were wasted during the battle." Klaue couldn't help but shake his head.

The giant nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it exceeded my expectations."

Li Ming forced a smile, then focused on the next battle.

"He probably won't be able to hold out for long this time. Facing two enemies of the same level is still too much for him." Dius watched the battle on the field. She had faced this kind of situation before and was quite experienced.

This time he still had to defend first, and the difficulty was obviously increased. Li Ming spent a full ten to twenty minutes on the defense.

Costat stroked his chin, "It lasted longer than I imagined."

"You can actually fight back?" Mikhail was stunned. The situation on the ring suddenly changed. He didn't know if it was a coincidence.

Li Ming found a rare opportunity to attack, launched a counterattack, and directly severely injured an enemy. After another ten minutes of stalemate, he barely won.
"Won?" Claude was bewildered. As the fight went on, he somehow gained the upper hand.

On the ring, Li Ming looked exhausted and out of breath, breathing heavily. The scars on his body were healing quickly, his face was extremely pale, and his body was staggering, as if he would fall down at the next moment.

"Good!" The giant nodded loudly, with a slight smile on his face, "Yes, you are much stronger than these people."

Dius blushed and pretended not to hear.

On the ring, Li Ming took a deep breath, his body seemed to have almost recovered, and there was a determination in his eyes.

"As expected of Qinglong's student."

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads. Even though they had all kinds of thoughts about Qinglong, it was undeniable that he was unfathomable.

If you think about it carefully, it is not unexpected that his students would behave like this.

One against four, it's impossible for me to win again, right?

Although no one spoke, everyone had similar thoughts in their minds.

It was a tough battle from the beginning. Li Ming seemed to be alone in the siege and was in danger all around.

There were several times when even the head and heart faced fatal attacks, but he barely avoided them, looking extremely embarrassed.

But everyone watched, but no one dared to express their opinions, as if they had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"The counterattack has begun..." Costat suddenly said.

On the ring, Li Ming began to fight back with difficulty.

"We're going to win." Mikhail said dimly. Although the situation still seemed very tense and Li Ming was even at a disadvantage, he didn't know why he felt this way.

But after another ten minutes or so, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse again. Li Ming seemed to be exhausted and was besieged again, falling into a desperate situation.

"Huh..." Dius breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is probably the only way we can go."

The tense nerves in the hearts of the others also relaxed and their expressions changed.

However, the situation remained deadlocked for another ten minutes. Li Ming suddenly entered a state of liberation. His life force rose. He found an opportunity in the gap and killed one first, then the second...

Finally, Li Ming stood shakily on the ring. His breathing seemed to increase more frequently and his whole body was shaking slightly, but his eyes showed determination.

Below, everyone looked shocked and surprised. They actually won again?

"Haha... good, good..." the giant laughed, "Not bad, there is actually a good seedling. It's a pity that his overall potential is too low, but it's already very good."

This giant's thinking and emotions are not flexible, but rather rigid.

At the same time, eight members of the Yuan clan appeared on the stage and surrounded Li Ming.

Although they were on a lower level than them, everyone couldn't help but look solemn when they put themselves in their shoes.

But not long after the battle began, their faces fell, and Li Ming was still struggling to defend.

Dius' palm-sized face turned dark, and he couldn't help but ask, "Does he think we are fools?"

The scene before my eyes was all too familiar.

This is how Li Ming behaved when they were facing off against two people at the same time, and they believed him.

The same behavior occurred when it was one against four, and they believed it too.

Now it's one against eight, and they still perform like this. Even a fool can figure out that something is wrong.

It was another classic difficult start, and the game seemed to be collapsing under siege and in danger.

In fact, Li Ming himself was a little embarrassed. Although his acting skills were superb, repeating the same routine three times seemed a bit fake.

But Li Ming's identity is not Qinglong, which can be elevated unlimitedly. He is just an S-level life form, and his combat level must be within this framework.

The level of life can be explained by the development potential, but the level of strength cannot be explained.

This "hard battle" at least makes it difficult for them to understand the specific situation.

"Is his strength so strong, or is there something wrong with the detection mechanism?" Costat frowned.

They have all been in the ring, and the strength level of their enemies is indeed almost the same as their own strength.

Cedric shook his head: "It should be some kind of special ability. Haven't you noticed that he is particularly resistant, strong-willed, and always looking for opportunities."

"He will really win?" Reynolds still found it a little unbelievable. This was something that even a forging hammer could not do.

Not long after, everyone saw Li Ming's difficult counterattack, and then he was suppressed, and then he fought back again, and was suppressed again... a back and forth stalemate.

The energy in the ring is boiling.

"It doesn't seem like he's pretending. This should be his limit." Everyone watched carefully.

With their keen eyesight, they could tell that Li Ming was indeed exhausted, and that state did not seem to be fake.

So, after a few minutes, Li Ming won.

It was hard and difficult to win, and I almost got defeated several times.

In the audience, everyone looked on expressionlessly.
