Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 739 The 7-Second Limit, Bai Cangshu's Ambition

The enormous white jade arena was filled with the stench of blood. The flesh and blood left behind by some unknown creature were incredibly foul. [Hymn], who was thin, landed in the plaza and suddenly felt an oppressive aura that appeared out of nowhere.

[You are under the watchful eye of the gods. You will suffer additional pressure. Every minute you are in the arena, the pressure you experience will increase significantly.]

Zan Ge shook his neck. This pressure was more comprehensive than gravity, not only putting pressure on the body and internal organs, but also increasing the mental burden.

He looked up at the many candidates around the arena; the number of people who had received the invitation to the Crown of Supreme Strength in the Physical Realm was more than he had imagined.

But what seems more important is... He looked up at those enormous creatures above, all of them with their eyes open, staring at him with strange expressions.

He seemed extremely excited.

Creak, creak, under that gaze, the pressure on his muscles began to increase.

Sure enough, these guys really are gods...

Can space even do something like this...?

His choice to go first wasn't out of arrogance, but rather because he was quick-witted. He pushed up his glasses; in the real world, he was a PhD in biology, working at a high-level research institute in the Free Federation.

He saw the logic of ordinary people as full of flaws, and they couldn't even grasp the rules of space at first glance.

The rules of this battle for the "Crown of Supreme Power" may seem complicated, but they are actually quite simple.

It's an asymmetrical battle of 1 vs 23 or even more, where after each top candidate leaves the arena, the other candidates can choose to challenge the other.

Those who can remain in the White Jade Arena the longest before being defeated will be qualified to call for the Crown of Supreme Power!
While others were still hesitant and wary due to a lack of clear information about each other, he was the first to step in.

In this way, the time that everyone hesitated and tested the waters at the beginning would become the time for him to successfully defend his title.

Even if everyone's strength is similar, this advantage is enough for him to eliminate many competitors among the 24 people.

"The brain is also part of the body."

tread.

A crisp sound of landing interrupted [Hymn]'s thoughts. He looked up and saw a scarlet ugly face, long hair that was half black and half white, and a tall figure. After landing on one foot, the person looked as if he was about to float away at any moment.

A martial arts master who has reached the level of "My Flow," and that avatar form... this guy is...

Peach Blossom!
boom!
The air shattered instantly, and the space and distance between the two disappeared in an instant. Zan Ge's thin, fleshless face was blown and agitated by the strong airflow, and a fist was already in front of him.

With a snap, the moment Zan Ge's glasses shattered from the airflow, he seemed to be stimulated by Tao Pai Pai's punch, and his muscles bulged all over.

Red flesh and blood erupted from his body along with steam-like white mist as they collided instantly.

The Abomination, a special bloodline enhanced by gamma rays from the Marvel universe, roared and appeared. He grabbed Tao Pai Pai's left arm as it attacked, and his body suddenly swelled to about three meters.

"what!"

boom!
Before the boundless rage of the hymn could erupt, he felt a white light in front of him, and a terrifying sonic boom instantly destroyed his eardrums and brain nerves, while a strong electric current surged through his body.

The explosion occurred almost to his face, shattering half of his face and chest together. Amidst the blue and white lightning, the subconscious mind that had been forcibly implanted in his brain under hypnosis began to operate. He grew increasingly furious, and his body rapidly healed itself.

The angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes; the angrier he gets, the faster he regenerates. This is a bloodline with extremely high potential.

"Even if Tao Pai Pai is as terrifying as the rumors say, he can't kill me because of my bloodline..."

The moment this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, and in an instant, a phantom door seemed to appear before Zan Ge's eyes.

Then, his newly regenerated body was smashed apart by a black fist.

Bang! Pfft!
The red giant, who was over three meters tall, was sent flying by the blast. Accompanied by the white ripples from the sonic boom, the half of his body crashed into the wall of the white jade arena and exploded.

The blood radiated outwards in a pattern for nearly 100 meters.

The people sitting closest touched the blood and flesh on their faces and frowned.

Looking back at the arena, the guy who brutally killed [Hymn] with a single punch had already turned over and flipped back into his seat.

You have occupied the White Jade Arena for 7 seconds.

[Temporary ranking: First]

Zan Ge was startled and found himself back in his seat. He subconsciously touched his body and found that he had fully recovered.

He had participated in the title race in the previous cycle, but had not been directly killed in this event.

The feeling of being killed was far too real. He recalled the fierce attack that had just struck in an instant, and realized that he had only lasted for 7 seconds!

Even after he left the field early, he gained a few seconds of advantage.

In other words, in a real battlefield, Tao Pai Pai could kill himself in just a few seconds?!
Zan Ge clenched his right fist. He knew his combat awareness wasn't great, so even though he possessed this bloodline that combined strength and physique, he only received an invitation to the Crown of the Strongest in the physique category.

But... how could the difference be so great?

Bai Cangshu sat down with a smile, ignoring the gazes cast upon him by the candidates. Beneath his trench coat, the Qilin armor slowly disappeared.

For about seven seconds, he mentally calculated how long the previous candidate had survived. After seeing the rules, he spent a few seconds thinking about them.

It wasn't because he didn't understand the rules of space; on the contrary, because he knew that the rules of space were actually very flexible, he was already thinking about whether there was some kind of bug in this set of "defending the title" rules.

It is obvious that this set of rules has flaws, but it is only because the participants in this competition are all top-level reincarnators who are famous for their physique, defense, immunity, and vitality.

Therefore, the space probably allows such flawed rules to exist.

If we use survival time as the sole measure of strength, what if everyone had a terrifyingly short survival time?

If... only I can stand on the white jade arena, then how many people will the ultimate crown of supreme power choose?
Bai Cangshu smiled dangerously, one hand resting on the chair to his right, waiting for the next candidate to enter.

……

"That guy is the newest monster in the East District... Tao Pai Pai?"

A brown-skinned woman sat in a chair facing due south, her gaze fixed on the direction where Bai Cangshu was.

The combat power that Bai Cangshu had just displayed was something that even the previous generation's strongest in the realm of physical attributes, [Undying Abyss], was quite concerned about.

The woman next to her had white hair and an unusually voluptuous figure, her body barely covered by a garment made of white cloth strips and gold rings.

The Southern District has the fewest supreme experts, and both of them are supreme experts in the field of physical constitution. [Aiwa] was also the supreme expert in physical constitution in the previous generation and the holder of [Eternal Tree].

Her relationship with the brown-skinned [Izpaparot] wasn't exactly good. They each led the two largest gatherings in the South District, but the South District was the weakest district on the surface, and the reincarnators there were quite undisciplined and free.

Regardless of their usual relationship, as reincarnators from the same region, they have started exchanging information.

"A martial artist at my level, with the high attribute bonuses provided by the Crimson Sin, plus the effects of breaking through the limits of multiple attributes, that guy's total attribute value is probably much higher than ours..."

[Efficiency] is a point that high-level reincarnators easily overlook. For a single-attribute reincarnator, it is the extraordinary characteristic gained when breaking through the extreme value and crossing the first tier.

It can greatly improve the efficiency of utilizing one's own special attributes, thereby achieving the effect of multiplying special attributes.

However, if it's the extremely rare case of multiple attributes crossing extreme values, it means there are multiple [efficiencies] that can multiply multiple attributes. This will create a very significant difference later on when various high-level abilities begin to appear.

【Aiva】was not going to leave the field immediately; she wanted to continue observing.

There was some scattered conversation among the group. Bai Cangshu just tilted his head and watched the scene. After a moment, whether it was on his own initiative or because no one else volunteered to participate, the space forced someone to participate.

Another candidate has fallen into the White Jade Colosseum.

This is a reincarnator with an Eastern appearance, wearing a red jacket and with platinum blonde hair that stands on end.

As soon as he landed, azure flames ignited on his body, burning on his head and limbs. What was even more striking was that flames also ignited on the top of his head.

"Lord Tao Pai Pai, as a fellow reincarnator from the Eastern District, I hope you can give me some face, I..."

Phew~bang!
By this time, almost all the candidates understood the rules of the selection, so they didn't wait for him to continue talking nonsense. A laser beam shot out from mid-air and hit the reincarnator from the East District in an instant.

He staggered slightly, but his defenses remained intact.

[Wu Sang] was attacked, but instead of being surprised, he was delighted. The one who was attacked was neither Tao Pai Pai, that monster, nor the former supreme powerhouse.

That way he could easily hold out for another round.

鸣~
In a flash of thought, he shook his hands, which transformed into wings. The flames of regeneration ignited, and he flew upwards, the flames behind his head burning even brighter.

Although his Lunar race bloodline wasn't pure enough, it still granted him extremely strong defensive capabilities. Combined with the Phoenix Devil Fruit, a Mythical Zoan type, his survivability was terrifying.

As Wu Sang flew into the air, he saw the person descending from the sky, carrying a high-tech ray gun.

Wu Sang recognized that this person was most likely the "Skywalker" from the West District, codenamed Skywalker, who had inexplicably enhanced his body with a liquid metal structure, completely abandoning the human body for modification.

Only part of the brain was preserved.

scoff!

A thunderclap boomed, and Wu Sang was startled.

He turned around in mid-air and saw a pitch-black fist appear out of thin air in front of him, with long, half-black and half-white hair flying behind it.

"It's time!"

Then Wu Sang felt as if that punch occupied the entire world, and he could no longer see the gods in the arena. He could only watch as that punch was slowly thrown out, and black lightning on the fist pierced through his body.

Overwhelming Haki...

boom!
A dark flash exploded, and the next moment the white jade arena shook violently as flesh and blood once again radiated outwards.

Bai Cangshu froze in mid-air, his aerial maneuvers preventing him from landing.

He didn't even glance at the guy who had just landed on the ground after transforming himself into a liquid metal robot.

Those kinds of guys, who have given up the possibility of being human, will probably be very strong in the early stages, and if they can obtain more advanced technology to enhance their bodies later, they also have a good future.

But at this particular juncture, there is no doubt that we are weak, extremely weak!

You have occupied the White Jade Arena for 7 seconds.

[Temporary ranking: First (tied)]

"You?!"

"How could you enter at the same time?!"

Even after being resurrected, Wu Sang was still shaken. He subconsciously questioned Tao Pai Pai beside him, but changed his tone after the first sentence.

He originally wanted to question Tao Pai Pai about why she wouldn't let him defend the title for a few more seconds, considering they were both reincarnators from the East District, so that there would be a chance for the East District to have another spot for the strongest.

But after seeing Tao Pai Pai's eyes, he realized that the other person was not a nice guy with that kind of "big picture" perspective at all.

Bai Cangshu sensed the guy's emotions, which made him feel so disgusted he wanted to vomit.

Even if they obtained a decent Devil Fruit and a good bloodline, the other party had no talent whatsoever, and was even worse than the two they had encountered in the previous hidden title competition.

"It's about time this boring pastime ended, you really talented folks~"

Bai Cangshu looked directly in the direction of the South District. He knew that two supreme experts in the physical constitution category had appeared in the South District in the previous competition.

His qi was pressed against his body surface, ready to erupt at any moment.

Suddenly, a prompt appeared before Bai Cangshu's eyes.

[Candidate EX051, please enter the Jade Arena]

His lips paused for a moment, then parted into a grin.

That's fine too.
Bai Cangshu stood up, and everyone was looking at him.

Everyone had heard of the new monster in the East District, but no one had actually fought against it yet.

But it's clear that ordinary top-tier reincarnators are no match for this guy.

The difference is astonishing.

Compared to other reincarnators who are purely good at defense, Tao Pai Pai's "aggressiveness" is astonishing.

This guy seems intent on disrupting the entire competition, recklessly provoking everyone.

Bai Cangshu took a step forward and then fell from the viewing platform, which was tens of meters high.

boom!
A cloud of smoke spread out, and Bai Cangshu landed in the white jade arena.

All eyes fell on him at the same time.

[You are under the watchful eye of the gods. You will suffer additional pressure. Every minute you are in the arena, the pressure you experience will increase significantly.]

Bai Cangshu seemed to feel nothing at all; fine armor plates rose from his skin, and crimson flames began to ignite on their own.

His attributes gradually improved, and his aura also began to rise.

Bai Cangshu had now realized that this so-called "defense of the arena" was not a one-on-one, rotating competition among the many candidates.

He waved both hands at the same time.

"Come on, defeat me, or... there may not be a second Supreme Crown today."

In an instant, several figures suddenly stood up, exchanged glances, and landed together.

Even before it landed, golden energy shot into the sky.

[Kaiou Fist]!
