No strange things are allowed to evolve!

So she simply ignored the question and asked directly, "Why do you say that?"

Hiroshima Atsuro sighed and explained, "Sachima's move looks ordinary, but it is actually his ultimate move, called 'The Immortal World Tree'."

"The immortal World Tree..." Bo Ya murmured to himself, then continued, "So what's its use?"

"He will gain extremely powerful defense. In this state, his physical resistance, magical resistance, and even mental resistance will be increased many times over."

Hiroshima Rei's eyes held a deep sense of apprehension, and there seemed to be a hint of fear in them. He was clearly recalling a bad meeting, most likely because he had been dominated by Sachima's skill.

"Although this kind of all-around, no-blind-spot defense is not without its limits, unfortunately, even I can't break through its defense at all."

Bo Ya keenly noticed the detail: "Such strong defense, yet only ranked tenth, does that mean his attack ability is actually quite average?"

"It's not so much average, but it's much above average. However, compared to his defensive ability, his offensive methods are indeed rather lacking."

But he really didn't use any offensive techniques. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but every time I lost to him, it was because I was completely exhausted and unable to fight anymore.

Hiroshima heatwave replied:

"That's why, in order to counter his defense, I created the 'nuclear explosion' technique, which is purely offensive and not defensive, because I know that as long as I break through his defense, I will win."

That's why I said he never intended to give anyone a chance; instead, he fully utilized his strengths and planned to kill the game from the very beginning.

If it's a bet like that, then his hot brother's strange white threads and his amazing ability to withstand my 'nuclear explosion' will be useless; he'll only be able to choose offensive skills and methods.

But if I may be so bold, the kind of punch he used to attack me wasn't even worthy of a gentle tickle.

With a long sigh, Hiroshima Atsuro remarked with some emotion, "Every time I see him unleash 'The Immortal World Tree' and firmly root himself in the arena, I can't help but wonder why this guy can always go all out like this."

It wasn't until the fight just now that I finally understood what respect is!

It's not just about respecting yourself, but also about respecting your opponent.

I think it's because he gives it his all no matter who he faces that he's been able to defeat me so many times.

Originally, if the Hiroshima heatwave hadn't explained all that preceding stuff and had instead gone straight to this last paragraph, Bo Ya wouldn't have thought too much about it.

But now, she just feels confused.

Hmm... what exactly are you trying to elevate yourself to?

You yourself know that he doesn't have any effective means of attack. His tactics are to wear down his opponents, making them incredibly tough and durable.

If a typical evolved being's probing move before getting serious is a peek, then Sachima's tactic is a direct look.

So where does "going all out" mean?

Is it possible that if he hadn't adopted a defensive stance right from the start, he would have been kicked to death like a stray dog ​​on the street?

Despite his complaints, Boya realized the seriousness of the problem.

For anyone else, they would use as many moves as they could until they were exhausted, hoping to break through Sachima's defense and win. But for Jiang Shu, there were only three moves to go.

It seems like they got a bargain, but in reality, they were forced to sign an unequal treaty by Sachima taking advantage of the information gap.

In comparison, the slave contracts in electronics factories were perhaps more charitable.

Therefore, in Bo Ya's eyes at this time, Jiang Shu was nothing more than an empress dowager declaring war on the foreign powers, like Chen Rui undergoing gender reassignment surgery and becoming an uncle before even having a chance to compete.

What's most infuriating is that Hiroshima Heatwave had clearly warned him beforehand, yet he still agreed to Sachima's bet. He acted like a complete idiot. Even if he lost, no one would blame Sachima for being cunning; they would just think that Jiang Shu was too arrogant and deserved to lose.

"I'm truly impressed by him," Bo Ya shook his head.

But the Snow King thought differently.

Even after hearing Hiroshima Heatwave's explanation, she still had complete confidence in Jiang Shu.

“But since he knowingly went into danger, it means he must have a plan,” she comforted Boya.

Bo Ya glanced at her with a hint of helplessness: "It's a shame you're so optimistic."

The Snow King simply smiled, but offered no explanation.

In fact, her thoughts were exactly the opposite of Bo Ya's.

She felt that compared to fighting someone like Hiroshima Hot Wave, whose background was unknown, Jiang Shu was more reassuring because she had been warned before fighting Sachima.

Because she knew that Jiang Shu wasn't the kind of reckless man who cared too much about saving face. Since he had already been warned but still did it, it proved that he was confident and must have his reasons.

Therefore, Jiang Shu actually has a great advantage, and is like Qin Shi Huang using a ladle and Ying Fei using a whip.

Of course, the bond between her and Jiang Shu is something that others would find hard to understand.

The Hiroshima heatwave made her think she was just trying to comfort herself, but the Sugar Knight, who knew Sachima better, thought she was a demon.

However, he wasn't about to dampen the enthusiasm; he simply said, "Is that so? That makes me really look forward to it."

Snow Queen could certainly sense the disapproval in her voice, but she simply smiled and remained silent.

Inside the arena.

"Come on, I can't wait any longer." Sachima sneered, "Don't be fooled by my current defense level exceeding the limit. You might just find my weakness and defeat me in no time."

Jiang Shu ignored him completely.

He just continued doing his warm-up exercises on his own.

Time passed by, second by second.

Sachima also relentlessly mocked her.

Seeing that the unshakeable feeling that Shaqima gave people remained unchanged, Jiang Shu finally put down the simple dumbbell he had just made from a stone he had dug out of the arena.

"I see..."

Jiang Shu rubbed his chin, interrupting Sachima's mocking voice:

"Your skill has no time limit."

Sachima was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "Despicable! How could you have such a plan!"

"What right do you have to talk to me like that, someone who was going to win the game by relying on this kind of 'old man's tactic' and then made that kind of bet with me?" Jiang Shu said with a face full of disdain.

From Sachima's mocking words, Jiang Shu, relying on his powerful information gathering ability, had already guessed most of Sachima's skills.

Sachima scoffed: "But didn't you agree? What, you want to back out now? Heh, too late."

“Not at all.” Jiang Shu shook his head: “I’m the kind of person who never regrets anything.”

"In that case, let's just get straight to the point and attack me!" Sachima grinned smugly. "Now you understand, right? Unless you break my immortal form, I can maintain this state indefinitely!"

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Jiang Shu sighed and finally got into position:

"First, the first move, which I call 'normal punch'."

After saying that, Jiang Shu assumed a horse stance, his whole body taut like a strong bow, his muscles tense. His bold posture was full of tension and explosive power.

Seeing this, Shaqima also became serious.

"Come on, that's how it should be!"

The voice just fell.

The next instant, accompanied by a whooshing sound, Jiang Shu pushed his speed to the limit, completely surpassing the ghostly speed that Hiroshima Heatwave had previously achieved, which relied on his flying skills.

Seeing this, everyone in the final show was shocked.

"What?!" Hiroshima Heatwave exclaimed in shock: "So he wasn't unable to dodge at all, but deliberately took the hit head-on? He was really testing me!"

The Sugar Knight's expression changed slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

Even Bo Ya was quite surprised.

Even though she knew that Jiang Shu had maxed out all her abilities and that her strength couldn't be measured by her level alone, she still didn't expect Jiang Shu to be so secretive.

"This guy..."

However, while almost everyone was shocked to realize that they had underestimated Jiang Shu, one person remained calm and composed.

This person is none other than the Snow King.

Her trust in Jiang Shu had long since reached the point of near superstition.

In her opinion, whatever Jiang Shu does is acceptable, and nothing she does is surprising.

Even if Jiang Shu were to tear off his skin now, revealing Ima Yujiro's true form, Yuki-Oh probably wouldn't be too surprised. She would just think it's great that Jiang Shu is also a muscle enthusiast.

If we had to say who doesn't think it's all that wonderful, it would probably be Sachima (a type of Chinese pastry).

Facing Jiang Shu, who was attacking with immense force and seemed to be surrounded by a thousand troops, his expression was more solemn than ever before.

This speed...

Even though it hasn't hit me yet, the force...

This should absolutely not happen to a level seven evolver!

Although it was clear that this was a full-force attack, in terms of destructive power alone, it was comparable to a slightly more serious attack from one of the top-ranked players...

This judgment startled Shaqima.

How could he possibly have already reached the threshold of that field?

How could this be...

No, now is not the time to think about these things.

They're about to attack!

Bang!

After a muffled thud, a shockwave suddenly rippled outwards from Jiang Shu and Sha Qima, causing the ground to sink several inches under the force of the powerful attack.

"Huh...huh..."

Jiang Shu was panting heavily, his face flushed.

Shaqima stared blankly at the other party. At this moment, he confirmed his judgment once again. The other party's attack had indeed reached the level of a casual strike from those monsters when they were serious.

Although it's really nothing to me and won't cause any real harm, but...

If that's the case... doesn't that mean that if given some time, he could really break through my defenses as easily as those other people?!

Shocked, he suddenly noticed something and came to his senses.

He slowly lowered his head, then fell silent, before erupting in fury: "Where are you going to hit me, you bastard?!"

"Tsk...no bra size...?"

Jiang Shu withdrew his arm, which had been reaching for Shaqima's lower body, and sighed regretfully.

"Bra size?" It took Shaqima a while to understand what Jiang Shu was talking about.

He gritted his teeth as if he had been violated and said, "That's called a weakness!"

"Damn it, doesn't it have any weaknesses?"

"At least you admit your mistake and correct it..."

Seeing the change in Jiang Shu's strength, which was able to unleash such power with his full-force attack, Shaqima did not continue to mock him this time. She simply said calmly, "My immortal form has no weaknesses, unless you can destroy it in one go with power that exceeds my limits."

"Is that so? Then I'll get serious." Jiang Shu took a deep breath: "This is the second move, a normal 100-hit combo."

"Wait... how many?! A hundred hits in a row?" Sachima stared intently at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu shrugged: "You said the number of moves, not the number of attacks. Well, there's nothing I can do. This move of mine is going to be used a hundred times."

"mean!"

However, despite her disdain, Sachima ultimately accepted it.

In his view, although Jiang Shu concealed it well, as if the first move, the "ordinary punch," was just a test, he could still tell that Jiang Shu had used his full strength.

Whether it's building up momentum, unleashing power, or exploding, it has already reached its limit.

This punch was already his peak.

But for Shaqima, it was still a painless attack.

The idea that quantitative change leads to qualitative change does not hold true for him.

Not to mention that kind of attack, it's obvious that it's absolutely impossible for Jiang Shu to land a hundred consecutive hits. Both the power and intensity would be much weaker than that punch just now.

Therefore, Shaqima naturally didn't mind Jiang Shu wasting another chance to make a move.

"Whatever. I'm too lazy to waste any more words on someone as self-righteous as you. The facts will teach you a lesson."
