Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

is her?

Chen Xi never expected to see this girl again.

In this situation, it's definitely not a matter of fate. The fact that someone can be here and remain so calm shows they're no ordinary person.

He then gestured to Yang Wei with his eyes, but still received a shake of the head.

Could it be that the girl in front of us, like the original painter, is also some kind of clone?

"Interesting, you're provoking me!"

The bald fake man sneered, giving the impression that he thought, "Woman, you're playing with fire."

Since the appearance of a fake person can be changed, they naturally don't care whether they have hair or not.

This bald image is from an anime character he really likes. That character also has a cape, but dressing like that in real life would be too flashy and doesn't fit the low-key nature of a pseudo-person.

"Yes, I'm provoking you."

"I didn't want to show my face."

"But there's nothing we can do, these guys are too weak."

After Zhou Xiaogu finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xi with a very sharp gaze, completely different from the previous two times they met. If they didn't look the same, no one would believe that they were the same person.

"I heard everything you said earlier."

"Although it wasn't very detailed, it's certain that we're on the same side."

Chen Xi nodded subconsciously:

"So you're planning to fight alongside us?"

"No."

"Predators are always solitary creatures; only herbivores need to huddle together for warmth."

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

The bald, fake man standing not far away seemed to be watching you on stage after you finished speaking, and he applauded thunderously.

"Well said!"

"Your words are just right for me."

"It's a pity you're not from our side."

Zhou Xiaogu ignored him and instead looked at the painter, who was slumped in Chen Xi's arms, looking somewhat listless.

"Although that might be a bit of an exaggeration."

"But can you draw me a long stick now?"

"Anyone around my height will do."

The painter paused for a moment, then spoke in a somewhat weak voice:

"Since you just saw it, you should know that anything I draw will be reduced to its original form in front of the King's Fist."

Zhou Xiaogu didn't say anything, but simply stretched out his palm, as if asking for something.

The painter frowned upon seeing this, but after seeing Chen Xi nod, he chose to believe her as well.

He stretched out his right index finger and made a stroke in the air like a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal stroke, and threw a long black stick, about the same height as Zhou Xiaogu, over there.

This was the first time Chen Xi had seen a painter demonstrate his abilities on the spot. It turned out that the painter could create things out of thin air without brushes or paints.

This is somewhat similar to the dreamer in Phase II, but the essence is quite different.

Putting aside the power itself, a dreamer can instantly summon what he imagines, while a painter needs time to depict it; the difference in skill is immediately apparent.

Now, since all you need is a stick, it's easy; just lay it horizontally and you're done.

As for nodding just now, it was just Chen Xi trying to buy time.

This girl must be of Rank I and wild, which is why she said those things.

Although she spoke arrogantly, Chen Xi believed that the girl probably hadn't encountered other fake people or superhumans, which led to her being a bit conceited.

The need for a long staff weapon indicates a combat-oriented identity, as does the extraordinary trait.

But the bald fake man's King's Fist is said to be invincible in Stage I, and he even boasted that if it were just a Stage I contest, even the Emperor would not be a match for him.

Although she had watched the battle from the sidelines, she found that her side was almost powerless to resist, and all of them were like eggs hitting rocks, easily shattered. This made it difficult for the bald fake man to have a point of reference for comparing his strength.

"Metallic texture".

"That's really a convenient ability."

Zhou Xiaogu took the long stick, touched it, and quickly responded.

Thanks.

After a swift and decisive thank you, Zhou Xiaogu flashed forward and charged directly at the bald fake man.

Chen Xi wasn't idle either. While charging, he activated the Equality for All system. The shadow puppet continued to use the substitution feature to transfer the power of Equality for All to its own shadow, but was thus forced to stand still.

Zhou Xiaogu faced the enemy head-on, charging straight at the bald fake man. He leaped high into the air with one leg and delivered a powerful blow to the head with his stick in both hands.

"What courage!"

"But courage is courage after all!"

"You're only about a fifth of the way there, not much ahead of me!"

The bald fake man gave a appreciative look, and without any hesitation, swung his fist to meet Zhou Xiaogu's long stick head-on.

He could sense that this girl was purely combat-oriented, unlike the others.

But he wasn't flustered, because the girl wasn't progressing well and couldn't possibly be his match.

Bang!

A powerful surge of energy erupted between the two.

Unlike all the previous collisions, this time the long stick did not explode like paint; it remained intact.

"What?!"

"How is this possible!"

This scene was unexpected by everyone, except for Zhou Xiaogu, of course.

After a brief stalemate, the force acted like a repulsive force, pushing the two of them apart.

"This shouldn't be the case."

"This long staff was clearly painted by the artist himself, so its essence must be paint. There's no reason why this kind of psychic product, which operates under extraordinary properties, wouldn't reveal its true form under my boss's King's Fist!"

"Besides, when did you arrive? I didn't even notice you."

The shadow puppet, forced to stand still, raised a question.

For the first time, the bald imposter's expression showed emotion; he had remained composed throughout.

"There's nothing surprising about it; seeing is believing, and that's the truth."

Zhou Xiaogu smiled calmly:

"Is it so strange that you didn't notice me?"

"You don't think that by leaving a little black stain under the cover of night, no one will notice, do you?"

"Unfortunately, although I don't paint, I have an absolute sense of color difference, and such tricks can be spotted at a glance."

"you!"

The shadow puppet felt clearly underestimated and was angry, but it was only angry for a moment, and then nothing more.

As a naturally gifted creature known for its mystery, its very nature has been exposed today.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi immediately used her hyperthymesia to recall that, just as Zhou Xiagu had said, there were indeed some black stains on the way there.

His eyesight wasn't very sharp, and since it was nighttime, he didn't notice anything special about what he saw.

Judging from this, I'm afraid I was infected during that period.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The bald fake man suddenly burst into laughter.

"That's interesting. I'm suddenly becoming quite interested in your identity."

"Today is a wonderful day, with so many outstanding individuals gathered together."

"You superhumans have been hiding in your shell all this time, and now the world is being constantly devoured. Let's see where you can hide now!"

"Now that the number one most powerful talent has emerged, the ultimate secrets of the pseudo-humans will inevitably be unlocked. The situation is settled; you extraordinary beings are doomed!"

"A load of nonsense!"

"We don't know if we're doomed, but you're probably doomed first today."

As soon as Zhou Xiaogu finished speaking, he changed his attack stance, and his entire demeanor suddenly changed. His half-closed eyes slowly opened:

"The First Form of the Holy King's Staff Technique..."

"Unique and distinctive!"
