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

"You actually reached the Sainthood stage at this critical juncture?"

"How is that possible... You haven't even had enough time to complete the test for the 'protagonist' role!"

"It's only been a few seconds! How could you possibly gain the protagonist's approval!"

Looking at Lin Fan, who had completely broken free of his petrification, Yongheng was filled with disbelief.

Lin Fan didn't respond, but instead looked at his chubby figure, his slightly puzzled brows slowly relaxing:

"I see......"

"I was also wondering before why your strength wasn't as great as Chen Xi said. At first, I thought you were hiding your true abilities or pretending to be weak to take advantage of others."

"So this blank slate world has an upper limit!"

"The protagonist's 1% progress is the limit of this world!"

"No one can surpass it!"

"So your strength has been suppressed!"

At this point, a desire for victory welled up in Lin Fan's eyes. He clenched his right fist tightly, and a ball of blue light spilled out from between his fingers, slowly enveloping his entire fist.

The light is not strong, giving people a very gentle feeling.

Lin Fan reached out and placed the ball of blue light on Chen Xi's petrified shoulder.

The petrification peeled off like a crumbly chocolate shell being bitten off, revealing Chen Xi's original appearance.

"As expected of the 'protagonist's' [miracle], it actually broke through my petrification!"

Lin Fan glanced at him: "It seems you know a lot about the identity of the 'Son of Heaven'."

"Even if you've never eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run?"

Although the situation was beyond his control, he remained calm.

click!

With the last stone falling to the ground, Chen Xi finally regained his mobility:

"Lin Fan, you actually had this kind of power hidden away!"

Chen Xi may not have seen everything that just happened, but he certainly heard everything.

Regarding the attainment of sainthood, Chen Xi and the other eight had heard Lin Fan mention it during their previous exchange of consciousness.

The identity of the emperor during the sainthood stage is called "protagonist," something Chen Xi had known for a long time.

To find out one's status at the Sainthood stage, two conditions need to be met, neither of which is particularly difficult.

One requirement is to reach 100% of Stage III, and the other is to be inside the Black Tower.

Only by reaching this stage can you sense your identity as a saint.

Then, just like courtship, one needs to pass tests to gain recognition of their identity.

Chen Xi's identity as a saint is very strange, and it seems to have almost nothing to do with "farmer".

His identity during his sainthood stage was called "false man"!

The only connection between this identity and being a farmer is that they are both human!

However, Chen Xi hasn't decided whether or not to seek recognition for this identity, regardless of its usefulness.

But judging from what the alien said at the time, it seems there is another path to take, at least the Dragon God is not the owner of the identity.

According to Chen Xi, it is extremely difficult to pass the test and reach the Saint stage.

The sainthood stage of an extraordinary being is equivalent to the ultimate pseudo-human being!

That one sentence was enough for Chen Xi to realize just how incredibly difficult it was.

As for what the test was, Lin Fan didn't know. He had only sensed the identity of the emperor, but had not yet received the so-called test.

Similarly, Chen Xi was even more puzzled as to how Lin Fan had suddenly managed to do this.

"Well, let's not talk about that now."

"We need to get rid of this guy right away!"

Lin Fan, unusually, didn't show off or act childish; instead, he wanted to finish the battle quickly.

Chen Xi hummed in agreement, presumably because Lin Fan's upgrade was temporary and wouldn't last long.

"Kill me?"

"Hahaha!"

"It's just a brat who's become arrogant after gaining new power."

Yongheng looked at the confident Lin Fan without the slightest fear.

Stop pretending!

"I have broken your petrification."

"And since you can't kill your target, you're like a toothless tiger—all show and no substance!"

"You'll know whether it's just for show or not once you try it."

Yongheng beckoned to Lin Fan with a disdainful look, as if to say, "Come here!"

Lin Fan's expression darkened, and he stopped arguing. He drew a tennis racket out of thin air like a sword and swung it through the air:

"Spin serve!"

Suddenly, a tennis ball was hit by Lin Fan and flew towards Yongheng's feet. After landing, the ball did not bounce but spun on the ground, trying to open Newton's coffin every second. Then it jumped and bounced towards Yongheng's left cheek.

Unfortunately, it wasn't fast enough and was easily dodged by Eternity.

"this one?"

"Is this your attack?"

"It's just a child's game!"

No sooner had Yongheng finished speaking than a "thud!" was heard, and a tennis ball hit him squarely on the left cheek.

boom!

Upon hitting the target, the tennis ball, like paper that cannot contain fire, was immediately enveloped by the blue light surging from within. The blue light expanded rapidly, giving it no time to react, and in an instant transformed into a blue mushroom cloud that shot straight into the sky.

"Once a miracle happens, it never fails to happen!"

"You cannot avoid my attack!"

call!

Suddenly, a typhoon-like disturbance erupted from within the blue mushroom cloud, disintegrating it from the inside. The towering blue mushroom cloud was destroyed in an instant.

Yongheng stood quietly in the center, his once neat clothes now tattered, and his body covered with minor burns of varying sizes, clearly caused by the explosion.

It has to be said that Lin Fan's "outer spin serve" really hurt Yongheng.

This attack made Lin Fan and Chen Xi truly realize for the first time that they might be able to take down a symbol!

Although it was due to the advantage of location.

"The old man is quite resilient." Lin Fan pointed at his opponent with his tennis racket, his chubby face twitching.

No wonder the fortune teller said, "Someone who will kill me in the future will appear here."

This scene is probably a glimpse of the future he sees.

But...

"Lin Fan, oh Lin Fan."

Yongheng gently brushed the dust off his body and slowly opened his mouth. His tone was earnest and earnest, like an elder instructing a younger person.

"How much time do you have left to live?"

Seeing Lin Fan remain silent, Yongheng smiled.

"You underestimate me."

Do you think I did nothing when I first met you?

"I really can't just kill him to silence him; that would violate what I symbolize."

"Does killing necessarily require the target to die?"

"When I punched you back then, I secretly left something inside your body."

"Don't you feel the pressure of being the 'protagonist'?"

Lin Fan was startled.

No wonder!

No wonder he could only sense the identity of "protagonist" and the fact that the Akatsuki Trial was extremely difficult, but he didn't know what the trial was exactly.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't that the time wasn't right, but that old man Yongheng cut it off!

The opponent has capped his potential!

"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, I've truly eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."

"The moment you bypassed the trials and forcibly bound yourself to the identity of the 'protagonist,' your lifespan began its irreversible countdown."

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably only have an hour left to live, right?"

An hour?

Lin Fan only has one hour left to live?

No wonder he was in such a hurry to make a move!

Although the [Dominator's Domain] granted Chen Xi immense power, it also temporarily caused him to lose many things, such as the [Lifeline], making it impossible for him to discern how much life Lin Fan had left.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Lin Fan simply laid his cards on the table:

"That's enough! Without your petrification power, you can't withstand our combined attack for an hour."

"This blank world will be your burial place!"

"interesting......"

Eternal opened his arms and slowly floated up, habitually looking down at the two of them in a superior posture:

"The emperor must awaken last, and his development time is limited. I have not seen the emperor for many lifetimes."

"but......"

"So what if you're the 'protagonist' who passes the test?"

"You don't actually think the 'protagonist' is invincible, do you?"

"You're not the main character in this story!"
