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

"I see."

"Temporarily reducing oneself to the peak of Stage I."

"Furthermore, I am part of the overlord sequence, which means that, according to the rules, you can rightfully seize my identity."

"Of course... that's only in terms of the rules."

Zhou Xiaogu replied without changing his expression or skipping a beat.

"Is it just about the rules?"

"snort!"

The father snorted, a hint of arrogance on his face:

"Zhou Xiaogu, you seem to be underestimating me a bit."

I know your identity very well.

"Although transmigrators are in the dominant category, it doesn't mean they can be strong from beginning to end."

"Your current extraordinary ability is nothing more than a lifeline; simply put, it's about taking precautions to avoid harm and gain advantages, but it doesn't have much practical combat ability."

"Even if you have a forbidden item of the Golden Finger level, it still needs to be upgraded before it can gradually unleash stronger power."

"Right now, you can only use your cheat ability to teleport."

"I've tampered with this room; your teleportation ability won't be able to dodge the surrounding walls anymore!"

Zhou Xiaogu nodded without changing his expression:

"No wonder you waited until today to make your move."

"It seems you really know a lot about the identity of a time traveler."

"If this is all the preparation you've made..."

"There's absolutely no need to use the teleportation technique to escape."

"I'll kill you, then walk out!"

Faced with Zhou Xiaogu's arrogant confidence, a mad smile crept onto the father's lips:

"A girl who's never suffered!"

"My innate talent in Stage I is called 'Double Life Source,' which grants me double the lifespan, vitality, and activity."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaogu finally understood why this pseudo-human, despite being at Stage I, still had 344 years of lifespan after being demoted.

It turns out it was the opponent's Phase I talent that caused the trouble.

Snapped!

"Not only that, I also have the identity of serial number 123, 'Swordsman'."

After the father finished speaking, he slightly kicked his right foot to the side.

The sword box next to it opened up instantly, revealing four longswords inside.

The father darted over in a flash, and with a series of swift movements, he drew all four swords.

He was holding one in each hand, biting one in his mouth, and most outrageously, he was even holding one between his buttocks!

He made a swastika gesture and looked at Zhou Xiaogu with a cold gaze.

This fake person is actually a four-sword style user!

"The 'unity of man and sword' is the extraordinary characteristic of me as a swordsman; my body has an extremely high degree of harmony with the sword."

"Even someone without any talent for swordsmanship will become a legendary innate sword embryo once they awaken this identity!"

"This is a transcendent trait of pure slaughter!"

Even with his hand on the sword hilt, the father could still finish speaking, which showed that he had practiced a lot.

"A longsword, is it...?"

"The weapon I hate most is the longsword!"

Zhou Xiaogu seemed to have thought of something bad, and his expression darkened considerably.

"If you hate it, just die!"

Perhaps he was too tired from holding it in, because the father stopped talking and launched an attack directly.

Whoosh!

The father was incredibly fast, and in no time he was in front of Zhou Xiaogu.

Like a bowling ball with spikes, in an instant, four swords were thrust at Zhou Xiaogu's eyes, throat, temples, and heart.

It was clearly intended to kill him with a single blow.

call out!

Zhou Xiaogu activated the power of his cheat system, instantly disappearing and reappearing at the location of a baseball bat not far away.

Flash!

There were no sticks here, so a baseball bat had to be used instead. Everyone had a stick, and Zhou Xiaogu found it fairly easy to use.

The father understood the power of the cheat system and, unsurprisingly, attacked again. The space here was only so big, and he had double the life force. Even if the teleportation technique was powerful, it would be exhausted by him first.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaogu did not choose to continue escaping using the teleportation technique, but instead engaged in combat with him.

"impossible!"

"You shouldn't have such great power."

"My progress is ahead of yours, plus a 10% bonus, and the swordsman's extraordinary traits—you shouldn't be able to withstand that!"

"Don't you know?"

Click! Click! Click! Click!

During the exchange, Zhou Xiaogu revealed a mocking smile:

"Transmigrators possess the power of another world."

"Don't you know a lot about time travelers?"

"But that's normal. No matter how well you know me, you could never know that I possess the power of a martial artist!"

"Warrior?"

The father murmured the word; it was a very familiar word, but he didn't know what it meant.

"Another world? The power of martial artists? No wonder your progress has been affected."

"snort!"

"But even if you possess the power of another world, so what?"

"I'm just surprised by your current strength, it doesn't mean I can't kill you."

"Don't get too excited..."

During the exchange, the father's voice abruptly stopped when he uttered the word "too," and the final word "early" was like a cannon shot that had been extinguished, forever silenced.

Because he saw an incredible scene.

"You...you...you!?"

"Why is your progress increasing?!"

"Are martial artists a so-called 'warrior race'?"

"You gain experience points just by fighting?"

"But it's growing way too fast! What is this unbelievable speed that's visible to the naked eye?!"

Zhou Xiaogu smiled sweetly, like a rose blooming amidst thorns:

"I simply made a breakthrough on the spot."

"My foolish old father, you can't understand this kind of thing."

"Because in my eyes you're not even a genius."

"And I..."

"A genius among geniuses!"

"The final move of the Holy King's Staff Technique: Flooding a Thousand Armies!"

The Holy King's Staff Technique is a martial art from another world, a high-level martial arts civilization, consisting of four forms.

They are: First move: Unique Style; Second move: Perilous Situation; Third move: Straight to the Heart of the Enemy; Fourth move: Flood the Army.

Being able to perform these four techniques represents a breakthrough in one's level of life.

Just now, Zhou Xiaogu relied on his own talent to forcefully push the Saint King Staff Technique to the fourth form, making himself even stronger.

boom!

A terrifying force erupted from the baseball bat.

After knocking his father back with a single blow, Zhou Xiaogu could clearly sense the complexity in his father's eyes.

"Damn it, how is your progress still increasing? It's almost..."

"Forget it, forget it! Your status..."

After the father finished speaking, white smoke suddenly began to rise from his body. Not only that, but an invisible power was also rapidly sprouting around him.

"Do you want to have your demotion lifted early?"

"pity......"

"I've already reached Level II before you."

After Zhou Xiaogu finished speaking, he touched the ground with his toes and actually flew up!

With a "whoosh," he flew low to his father's side, making no preparations whatsoever, and immediately struck a home run.

The baseball bat in her hand moved so fast that it left no afterimage.

boom! boom! boom!

It was supposed to be a three-hit combo, but only one sound could be heard; the speed was unbelievably fast.

The weapon was a baseball bat, not a sword, yet its terrifying power shattered the fake man in front of him into four pieces.

It is clear that Zhou Xiaogu killed his father before he could forcibly restore him to Stage II.

"I never imagined that the power of flooding thousands of troops would directly upgrade my status."

The bright red color quickly covered the floor.

Zhou Xiaogu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the bright red blood flowing out at his feet, and at his blurry reflection in the water.

"I never imagined that my upgraded identity as a transmigrator would be like this..."

"Aerial Warrior!"
