Infinite Fighting

Based on in-depth observation of spatiotemporal information, with slight disturbances, everything in the future can proceed in the intended direction.

This is the fundamental principle of the "Cutting Character Technique".

Zhang Ji hadn't used this technique in a long time.

Using it again now, I feel that my understanding of time and space has deepened.

There is never anything predetermined or undetermined.

The past and the future are not actually so clearly defined.

The present can also be the beginning of the past.

Time moves forward, but the future is not necessarily the future; based on observational information, it can also be the past.

To put it bluntly, when Zhang Ji stands in the future and disturbs the past, that future point in time is actually the past of the past.

When he observes the future, he blurs the boundaries between the future and the past in terms of space and time. He observes and disturbs, causing it to happen. The infinite possibilities that are superimposed will converge and eventually lead to only one.

It can be said that from the very beginning of his observations, he was certain that the event was bound to happen.

The definition of the observer in the origin universe is more profound than Zhang Ji previously thought.

This is not merely a description of an eternal and immortal higher life form, but also a description of a higher-dimensional existence that can act on spacetime to determine how past and future information changes.

“Help me,” Taren said.

“You took my things,” Zhang Ji said.

"Here you go," Taren said weakly.

“That’s only fair, but you still need to pay the price for saving your life,” Zhang Ji said.

Taren almost instinctively understood that Zhang Ji wanted his [Sonic Blast].

He was reluctant, but ultimately made his decision.

“Here, this is for you too,” Taren said laboriously, handing over the short sword.

“A wise choice,” Zhang Ji said.

This result is one that Zhang Ji has already observed.

Unless more external factors are introduced, it is almost certain that Taren will choose this outcome.

While living beings certainly possess infinite possibilities, that is the result of breaking through limits and increasing size countless times.

The sheer volume of information about certain insects, such as their ephemeral existence, allows even ordinary people to roughly predict many of their future possibilities through observation.

They are nothing more than born in some stinking ditch, then mate and die.

If there are few external variables, this result will remain stable for a long time.

He crouched down and took the short sword from Taren, while casually patting the other's storage belt and taking out the gold jar.

The gold jar is still full of gold today.

Since Taren started trying, he hasn't had time to extract the gold from it yet.

Upon seeing the jar, Kenji's team realized what was happening.

"Who stole the jar?"

"How did he do that? Who is he?"

Amidst the conversation, a golden figure plummeted from the sky.

"Bang~!"

Amidst the smoke and dust, Swick's figure appeared, looking at Zhang Ji.

To be precise, it was Zhang Jizuo's golden jar.

"It's mine now!"

Swick moved swiftly, about to snatch the jar from Zhang Ji's hand.

But even though he moved quickly, he couldn't outrun Zhang Ji.

Zhang narrowly avoided the outstretched claw as his outstretched hand grasped at empty air.

Swick reached out and lunged forward, still probing the air. He tried several times but failed to touch the jar. Realizing that Zhang Ji was no ordinary man, he raised his knife to slash, but the blade failed to fall and was blocked in mid-air by Zhang Ji's short sword.

"Qiang~!"

Zhang Ji remained completely still, while the ground several meters in radius beneath him collapsed, absorbing the full force of the attack.

"What a brilliant method of neutralizing force!" Swick's expression instantly turned serious. "A master!"

“The jar is mine,” Zhang Ji said.

“But it’s mine now,” Swick said.

Swick's greed for the artifact consumed his mind, preventing him from calming down.

Moreover, after chasing Taren all night, it's somewhat unreasonable for him to come back empty-handed.

Zhang Ji's demonstrated strength is certainly impressive, but it's not enough to make him back down.

"Clang clang clang clang clang~!"

In an instant, the broadsword was swung hundreds of times, and the resulting shockwaves were incredibly sharp. Everything around it that came into contact with it was immediately marked with a blade mark. Trees snapped, rocks split, and the soil cracked. The Kenji squad in the distance retreated again and again, terrified beyond measure.

"That's... an epic-level expert?" Mels guessed.

“I’ve seen his picture in the guild, that’s the Lion Swick!” Kenzie said.

As an epic-level powerhouse, he is also a top figure in the Adventurers' Guild.

After all, the entire guild only had about ten epics, so Kenzie naturally had a deep impression of him.

They never expected Swick to appear here, and even fight back and forth with the mysterious Mr. Zhang from their team.

No, that's not right. Although we can't see their movements clearly, from beginning to end, Mr. Zhang only parried and didn't launch a single attack. Mr. Zhang didn't even move his body. He even had the strength to protect the person lying next to him.

Kenzie is not the only one who shares this view.

Gaia increasingly felt that the jar was a hot potato; it was something they simply couldn't handle.

If they attract such a master, their team will simply disappear into history.

The fight continued, and Swick realized how difficult Zhang Ji was to deal with. Ordinary attacks were ineffective, so he resorted to drastic measures.

In an instant, all the fighting energy in his body concentrated, and he unleashed the fighting technique [Lion's Fury].

"Ouch~!"

Golden battle aura condensed into the shape of a lion, its spiritual will radiating an immense sense of oppression—the powerful aura possessed by a creature at the top of the food chain. Even the members of Kenji's team, hundreds of meters away, felt a chill run down their spines, while Taren beside Zhang Ji rolled his eyes. Yet, amidst this aura, Zhang Ji appeared remarkably calm and collected.

The blade swung down, this time with far greater force than before.

However, what awaited it was still Zhang Ji's nonchalant sword strike to block it.

"Boom~!"

The ground within a radius of several tens of meters sank slightly, but Zhang Ji's single-armed sword blade remained unbroken.

Swick gripped the knife hilt with both hands, panting heavily.

By this time, he realized that Zhang Ji's strength far surpassed his own.

I'm just not happy about it. I was so close to getting it, how could someone suddenly appear and take it away?

Little did he know that his feelings were no different from those of Taren, who was lying half-dead.

Taren was also wondering, how come a master suddenly appeared and tried to steal everything when they had already gotten their hands on it?
"Hahahaha!" Taren rolled over and sat up, laughing loudly, "If you can't get it, you can't get it either."

Swick's face darkened, and he slashed at Taren with his blade.

Taren's expression changed slightly, but Zhang Ji kept his promise and said he would protect his life and wouldn't let him die here.

So the blade was still blocked by the sword.

Swick's expression was not good. He said, "You are indeed powerful. This jar is yours, but I have to kill this man."

“He can’t die, not now. I took his things and promised to save his life,” Zhang Ji said.

"it is good."

Swick didn't say anything more and simply turned and left.

Taren also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought Swick would leave, he suddenly turned around and slashed at Taren with his sword.

The strike was swift; no one could react in time, not even Taren, whose expression remained unchanged.

In theory, Swick's attack would have succeeded.

Unfortunately, he was facing Zhang Ji.

"Clang! Snap!"

The blade snapped, and in the next instant, the sword energy formed from his inner energy landed on a distant mountain peak.

We passed through them silently.

Immediately, a scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

The mountain, hundreds of meters high, tilted and then slid down.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Swick gripped the broken knife, his eyes shifting from anger and dissatisfaction to confusion.

Zhang Ji carefully sheathed his short sword, hugged the jar with one hand, grabbed Taren's shirt by the back of his neck with the other, and turned to leave.

During this process, he exposed his back and Taren to Swick, but Swick dared not launch another sneak attack.

The collapse of the distant mountains continued, and his thoughts collapsed into the ground along with them.

The opponent is definitely not an epic; who knows, he might be a fifth-tier legend!

This was the first time the Kenji Squad had witnessed Zhang Ji make a move; with just one sword strike, he had exceeded their expectations.

Although I had heard of people possessing similar powers, hearing about it and witnessing it firsthand are two different things.

Kenji had been hoping to recruit Zhang Ji into his team, but now it seemed impossible.

Gray had initially harbored a desire for the jar, but that lingering thought vanished with the collapse of the mountain.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Ji prepared to complete the final step of the transaction.

“Although the chances of us having any interaction are slim, I have never engaged in short-sighted business practices based on the principle of sustainability.”

As Zhang Ji spoke, he reached into the void, and in the low dimension, seven fighting spirit seeds, each shining with a different light, were sublimated from them.

“What are these?” Kenzie asked.

“They represent different seeds of battle qi, which can grow automatically and give you a possibility to the future,” Zhang Ji explained. “In terms of the upper limit, in your world, it should be the fifth rank.”

The fifth tier corresponds to the legendary level in this world, which is also known as the S-tier.

That's more than enough.

Of the known legends, there are only three in the entire empire.

One is Emperor Ignazio, another is an Imperial General, and the third is the President of the Adventurers' Guild.

"legend."

Gaia was somewhat shocked, never expecting to obtain a ticket to the legend here.

Originally, he only wanted to reach the threshold of the fourth tier in his lifetime.

Most of the other people felt the same way.

Zhang Ji was not surprised by this.

He could actually give them legendary power directly, but it would be more suitable for them to go through an adaptation process and grow.

As he said at the beginning, he never engages in unprofitable deals.

If sustainable development is possible, then we should consider it as much as possible.

"Do you approve of this deal?" Zhang Ji asked.

Although the jar belongs to Gaia, the team members theoretically all have some control over it, so Zhang Ji asked everyone.

“I approve!” Kenzie quickly replied.

“I agree!” Mels replied.

Yes nodded and said, "Yes, I agree."

As they answered, Zhang Ji tossed the seven fighting spirit seeds directly to them. The seeds flew into each of their bodies and disappeared.

Zhang Ji withdrew his hand and spoke calmly.

"Transaction complete!" (End of Chapter)
