The group exited through the back door of the bar and walked a few steps to an abandoned parking lot. The wind was strong at night, the ground was covered with gravel, and the rusty abandoned cars around them provided perfect cover.

Kitasaki carried the suitcase to the center of the field and fastened the Delta belt around his waist.

"Transform!"

Silver photon blood rapidly spread along the tubes, covering his entire body in armor. His red compound eyes lit up. Kitasaki cracked his neck, his joints popping, his voice filled with excitement: "Hurry up, don't keep me waiting too long!"

Wu Yan frowned and subconsciously reached for his Kaixa belt, but Lin Chen stopped him with a raised hand.

"You can just watch from the side."

As Lin Chen spoke, he slowly walked to the opposite side of Beiqi and stood still.

"If you're going to transform into a knight, then I'll play along with you." After saying that, he immediately wanted to transform into an Orphnoch, saving the Orga card as his trump card, but then he remembered the physical examination report that Earth's consciousness had recently analyzed.

I took out the Orga belt anyway.

Looking at the belt Lin Chen pulled out, he was shocked and asked, "What's that? A new belt?"

“I didn’t expect there to be a fourth belt. It seems Murakami has been hiding quite a few things from us,” Kageyama Saeko said gravely.

"Standby!"

The Saber-toothed Tiger memory is inserted into the upper interface.

"Smilodon!"

Electronic sound effects rang out, and dark golden photon blood vessels rapidly spread upwards from the waist and abdomen. Thick armor plates interlocked and spliced ​​along the shoulders, neck, and limbs, while bone spurs protruded menacingly from the sides of the shoulders, and amber compound eyes gleamed with a fierce and cold light.

Kitasaki gazed at the knight armor, a garment brimming with violent aesthetics, and a maniacal smile spread across the doll-like face beneath the Delta armor.

"I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve, that's amazing... I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person!" Kitasaki's words were barely out of his mouth, without the slightest hint of probing.

Silver photon blood surged through his body's tubes, his boots grinding against the gravel as he slammed into the ground, propelling him like a silver-black lightning bolt straight at Lin Chen's face. His movement—drawing his gun and charging forward—was perfectly synchronized; the muzzle of his Delta pistol was almost touching him, and three bursts of glowing bullets blasted towards Lin Chen's chest.

Lin Chen raised his arm to block, and the light bullets struck the dark gold arm armor one after another, exploding into fine light fragments, but the armor surface was not left with even the slightest mark.

Seeing this, Kitasaki not only didn't back down, but laughed even harder, his doll-like face full of excitement at finding a new toy.

He twisted his foot and pressed against Lin Chen's side, delivering a heavy punch to his waist. With a muffled clang, Lin Chen remained motionless.

Kitasaki's fist trembled and went numb, but he seemed oblivious to it. His other hand, holding a Delta pistol, pressed against the armor and pulled the trigger.

The moment the flames exploded, he used the force to flip backward. Before he could even steady himself on the ground, he immediately lunged forward again, alternating between punches, kicks, and a pistol, his attacks becoming more and more ferocious as he fought.

As Lin Chen charged forward, the dark golden figure was even a fraction faster than him. Kitazaki's pupils contracted slightly, and just as he turned his head to dodge a swinging punch, he took a solid blow to the chest. The heavy force of the punch penetrated his armor and struck his body, sending him sliding backward several meters, his boots carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Phew! Interesting, very interesting."

Kitasaki took a breath, raised his hand and shook his aching wrist. There was no trace of dishevelment on the face of the armored doll; instead, his eyes shone with an alarming brilliance. Far from backing down, he took another half step forward, his fingertips flying across the Delta phone's keypad as he typed commands, a triumphant smile spreading across his lips.

"You're pretty tough on the ground... but I wonder if you can be just as resilient in the air?"

The roar of turbines grew louder as the black jet glider swooped down, cutting through the night sky. Kitazaki leaped and landed steadily on the fuselage, which then rose and hovered in mid-air, its cannons pointing downwards and locking onto Lin Chen on the ground.

"Let's try a different way of playing." His voice drifted down on the wind.

"That belt is so strong!" Takuma exclaimed, looking at Kitasaki who was being suppressed.

Saeko Kageyama put her finger to her lips: "Indeed! Kitasaki can already perfectly utilize the power of the Delta belt, but he's still like a child when facing that belt."

Seeing Kitazaki take off in his jet glider, Lin Chen also entered a summoning command.

The sound of air being torn apart exploded, and a deeper, more resonant engine roar, deeper than that of the jet glider, rose from afar, sounding like a slumbering beast being startled awake and grumbling in its morning grumpiness.

Kitazaki raised an eyebrow, and a light shone in his pupils.

The matte charcoal black body tore through the night and drove towards us. Two dark gold tiger stripes, emitting a yellow glow, meandered along the body lines, extending from the base of the two forward-protruding bionic fang-shaped rams all the way to the rear engine, like a tiger crouching and tightening its muscles.

"Wow—they even have custom-made versions?"

Kitasaki laughed out loud, showing no sign of panic. Instead, he twirled the Delta pistol between his fingers. The jet glider beneath his feet rose slightly, its silver-black fuselage drawing a semi-arc in the night sky, clearly indicating that he wanted to test the capabilities of this modified vehicle first.

Lin Chen also lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaping onto the center of the vehicle. He raised his hand to hold the control handle at the front of the vehicle, looking up at Kitazaki diagonally above: "Come on!"

"So much courage?" Kitasaki's smile widened, his excitement almost overflowing.

Before he finished speaking, he steered the jet glider to dive down, tilting the fuselage to the side, clearly intending to have a head-on collision with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was not going to back down, of course. According to Philip, the modified version was now hard enough to smash the original to pieces. So he charged straight at it, his two gleaming white serrated ramming horns aimed directly at the diving silver fuselage.

Kitasaki's expression changed slightly, and he abruptly pulled the stick up. The two vehicles almost grazed each other as they passed.

"That's ruthless."

Kitazaki licked his lower lip and maneuvered the jet glider to the side and rear. It circled Lin Chen's heavy vehicle at high speed, occasionally firing a couple of shots with his Delta pistol, targeting Lin Chen in the driver's seat.

Lin Chen's vehicle remained suspended in mid-air, as stable as a mountain, allowing Kitasaki to fire from all angles, its armor completely absorbed. His gaze locked onto Kitasaki's movements, and whenever the opponent entered his collision range, he would suddenly push the lever to accelerate, ramming forward with immense force, forcing Kitasaki to scramble to avoid him each time.

Finally, Kitasaki couldn't dodge it any longer. The rammed head pierced the fuselage of the jet glider he was piloting. The engine roared, and it looked like it was about to explode. Kitasaki leaped into the air and jumped off the jet glider. Lin Chen followed suit.

The two vehicles flew into the distance, and the explosions rang out in the night sky.

Kitasaki twisted his body in mid-air to dissipate the force, and his feet slammed heavily onto the roof of the wrecked car, causing a section of the car body to collapse.

“We’ve pretty much finished with the Knight game.” He leaned slightly forward from the roof of the car and removed the Delta transformation device from his waist. The black Delta armor rapidly detached, revealing a maniacal grin on his doll-like face.

Then, the silver-gray exoskeleton began to appear. The horns on the top of the head spread outwards, the muscles in the arms bulged, and the dragon-head-shaped claws extended and took shape along the knuckles. The bone spikes on the shoulders and back stood up, and thick dragon scale armor covered the entire body.

"Kitazaki is getting serious!" Takuma subconsciously tensed up.

Saeko Kageyama, unaware that she had somehow acquired another cup of sake, kept her gaze fixed on the scene, ignoring Ruko's words.

Kitasaki, now in his Orphnoch form, stomped his legs hard, instantly denting and shattering the roof of the car. His silver-gray figure rushed out with a gust of wind, his claws crossed like scissors, aiming diagonally at Lin Chen's neck.

Lin Chen raised his arm to block.

"Clang—!"

The sharp, metallic clang of metal clashing was deafening. A claw slashed fiercely across the dark gold arm armor, sending sparks flying and leaving three shallow marks on the surface. Kitazaki felt a recoil from the claw's tip, his wrist slightly numb. Before his attack could fully develop, his other claw swept out, aiming straight for his vulnerable side.

Lin Chen slid half a step to the side, barely dodging the attack. He then slammed his shoulder into Kitasaki's chest, the shoulder blade spurs grazing the opponent's breastplate, sending sparks flying. Kitasaki groaned, swaying and taking two steps back to regain his balance.

This was the first time since they started fighting that he had been pushed back by pure force.

"It actually withstood my claw attack... and even knocked me back?" Kitasaki glanced down at his breastplate, then looked up abruptly, his laughter filled with excitement. "Good! Excellent! This is more interesting!"

He charged forward again, his claws striking repeatedly with lightning speed and ferocity. The claws swept across the wrecked car beside him, instantly slicing the door open with three clean cuts. Lin Chen parried and dodged the attacks, his dark gold armor clashing repeatedly with the silver-gray giant claws, sparks forming intermittent chains of light in the night.

After dismantling more than ten moves, Lin Chen seized the opportunity when Kitasaki swung his claws, clenched his right fist, exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and delivered a heavy straight punch to the center of his opponent's chest.

"clang!"

The dull thud was like a heavy hammer striking a thick steel plate. Kitasaki's massive body jerked backward, his feet sliding three or four meters across the ground, his boots carving two deep furrows.

He straightened up, clutching his chest, a low chuckle escaping his throat. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward. A silver light slowly emanated from the mouth of the dragon's massive claw on his left arm, and the humming sound of energy gathering grew louder and louder.

"Let's try this one!"

The destructive energy blast shot out, its power several times greater than that of the Delta pistol. Lin Chen didn't choose to take it head-on, but instead dodged it with a side somersault. The energy blast struck the pile of cars behind him, and with a deafening roar, three or four wrecked vehicles were blown to pieces, flames shooting into the sky.

Chapter 214 Solving the Four-Leaf Clover Problem

Without stopping, Lin Chen charged straight at Kitasaki. Kitasaki's pupils contracted, and he was about to raise his claws to block when Lin Chen closed in, grabbing his wrist with his left hand and bracing his shoulder armor with his right. With a sudden burst of power from his waist and abdomen, he executed a standard over-the-shoulder throw.

"boom!"

Kitazaki's massive body was slammed hard onto the ground, the concrete cracking with a spiderweb pattern, dust and gravel flying everywhere. He tried to get up, bracing himself on his claws, but Lin Chen's knee slammed heavily into his carapace, the immense pressure making his chest tighten and almost suffocating him.

"Tsk..."

Kitazaki suddenly tilted his head back, and purple lightning crackled and shot between his two horns, the current rapidly converging. Having fully charged the lightning, he didn't care whether the angle was right or not, and struck directly behind him.

Lin Chen immediately let go and leaped away.

"You dodged pretty fast." Kitasaki stood up, propping himself up on his paws. "You're the first person to have pushed me to this point." Despite his disheveled appearance, he laughed even more excitedly and was about to rush forward again when he heard Lin Chen's calm voice drift over from the other side.

"This is getting a bit boring." Lin Chen glanced at Takuma and Saeko Kageyama on the sidelines, his tone as casual as if he were greeting passersby. "You two, come at me together! I'll beat you both in one go."

The room fell silent for half a second after he said that.

Zhuomo frowned, instinctively clenching his fist. It was clear the other party didn't take the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover seriously. Kageyama Saeko paused in her swirling wine glass, then chuckled softly, tapping her fingertips lightly on the glass without moving.

Kitazaki, standing in the center of the arena, was stunned for a moment, then threw his head back and burst into laughter, his silver-gray demon-style shoulder armor trembling with each laugh.

"Huh? Let them all come at me?" He stopped laughing, his baby face now showing a mixture of excitement and ruthlessness at being looked down upon. He slammed his giant claw heavily onto his own breastplate, making a dull clang. "You're really arrogant. I can handle you on my own."

Before he could finish speaking, the heavy demonic armor around him emitted a series of cracking sounds.

The outer layer of heavy armor crumbled away like a molting shell, revealing a leaner, more slender dragon-like body beneath—dense, gray-black scales clung tightly to the muscle lines, narrowing the overall shape; the two horns on its head stretched long and sharp; the bone spurs on its shoulders and back converged into sharp thorns; and its hands transformed into five razor-sharp claws. Dragon Orphnoch – Dragon-Human Form Unleashed.

"Don't think you can be arrogant just because you're tough." Kitasaki slightly bent his fingertips, and his claws slicing through the air with a sharp hiss.

The next second, he darted out. His silver-gray figure left a continuous afterimage in the night. Takuma and Kageyama Saeko on the sidelines could only barely see a gray shadow, and couldn't even make out the specific movements.

Silver lights flashed one after another as three light bullets poured out along a high-speed trajectory, each crackling with purple lightning, striking directly at Lin Chen. Kitasaki himself used his speed to circle around to Lin Chen's side and rear, his claws flashing with cold light, aiming straight for the side armor.

Just as the light bullet was about to hit, Lin Chen exerted force with his feet.

The dark golden figure left a solid afterimage in place, sliding sideways through the gaps in the light bullets, the soles of his boots scraping a shallow mark on the gravel ground. Before Kitasaki could change his move, Lin Chen increased his speed again, transforming into a dark golden streak of light that circled Kitasaki at high speed. His steps were so fast that only a blur of light and shadow remained, as if he had created several clones, alternating punches and elbows to strike around Kitasaki.

Kitazaki's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected that Lin Chen's armor, which looked so bulky, would also have super-high speed capabilities, and even be faster than his own. He quickly swung his claws to block.

Clang clang clang—

A series of dense metallic clanging sounds filled the air, sparks flying everywhere in the night. He could barely keep up with Lin Chen's movements, each parry timed perfectly, but he was always just a hair's breadth off. His claws would always graz the edges of Lin Chen's armor, sending up tiny sparks, but the opponent's fists would always land precisely on the joints of his scales, making his forearms tingle.

With a slight movement, the two separated by several meters again.

Kitasaki shook his numb wrist, looked down at the few new scratches on his chest armor, and instead of being annoyed, the excitement in his eyes burned even brighter.

"So it's not just the shell that's tough... the speed is pretty good too." He licked his lower lip, his scales shimmering, and switched between demon and dragon forms in an instant, using the heavy armor to dissipate the residual force of his punch. "A bit faster than me, huh? I'll see how long you can keep up."

Before he finished speaking, he charged forward again.

This time, Kitasaki fought even more cunningly, constantly switching forms at high speed. Sometimes he would switch back to his demon form to take a punch head-on and use the recoil to change direction; other times he would instantly switch back to his dragon form to accelerate and launch a surprise attack, firing lightning bullets from his fingertips incessantly. He mastered the rhythm of form switching to the extreme, relying on the cycle of using heavy armor to absorb force and light armor to accelerate, gradually making up for the slight speed difference. Several times, his claw blades grazed Lin Chen's neck armor, putting him in grave danger.

But Lin Chen's speed was consistently half a head ahead.

As he moved with incredible speed, layers of afterimages spread out around him, and for a moment, seven or eight dark golden figures seemed to move simultaneously in the arena, with punches, elbow strikes, and leg shadows enveloping him from all directions. Kitasaki gritted his teeth and parried left and right, but after only a dozen or so rounds, his breathing became heavy.

"That felt so good... so incredibly good!"

Kitasaki took two steps back, bracing himself on his knees to catch his breath. He looked up and stared intently at the dark golden figure in the center of the arena. The other person's breathing was steady, clearly indicating that he was still holding back.

Lin Chen withdrew his fist, glanced at the two who were still standing at the sidelines, and said calmly, "I'll say it again, both of you come at me together. We can finish this off in one go."
