The bald man bent over and charged forward, holding a pitch-black half-body shield in his hand, his body radiating a flame-like light.
It's obvious that some kind of skill has been used; those who shout out the name of their skills during battle are mostly trying to attract attention.
The bald guy, who is quiet and tries to hide his skills perfectly, is also a master of combat.
His burly body instantly increased his speed to the limit, and his heavy footsteps left footprints on the floor.
Li Xia caught a glimpse of the bald man trying to sneak in from a blind spot out of the corner of his eye, which is why he kicked the swordsman away.
Faced with the bald man who had reached him in the blink of an eye, Li Xia leaped up with all his might, kicking his feet against the shield.
His movement was so powerful that he simply stomped on the shield and flipped over his bald head to dodge the attack.
A surge of uncontrollable excitement welled up in the bald man's heart. His move, [Charge Shield Bash], was a rank 15 skill.
According to the skill description, it is a guaranteed hit.
The principle is that you use your mental power to place an imaginary beacon on the other side, and the energy surging in your body will be drawn to the beacon.
Like magnets attracting each other, the closer they are, the faster they go; it's not something you can simply dodge.
More importantly, the secret of [Shield Bash] lies in the layered, wave-like power on the shield.
The force of the blows, like waves, will surge into the body and knock the person unconscious.
Stepping on the shield will also affect the force applied. If you think you can just step on it to dodge, you've been watching too many movies.
Once stunned, he will inevitably face a barrage of attacks and subsequent control from the entire team.
Baldy has defeated countless enemies with his [Charge Shield Bash], which is his signature move and the source of his fame!
Unexpectedly, the moment Li Xia's feet touched the shield, he suddenly withdrew as if by magic, flying straight backward.
The bald man then realized that when he jumped, he had secretly driven the spear deep into the floor and used one hand to catch it as he jumped.
The extremely resilient spear generated a tremendous rebound force when it bent, which actually pulled him back in the opposite direction.
Not only that, as Li Xia flew backward, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. With a slight flick of his wrist, he drew his spear and flicked it upward with one hand.
The spear immediately drew a strange arc and lashed out at the bald man's completely unprotected groin.
The sharp blade was about to cleave him in two from between his legs. Losing everything was a minor matter; the palace would recover.
But if this attack hits, he will be seriously injured even if he doesn't die!
The bald man's pupils suddenly contracted, and he had no choice but to turn his shield downwards to block the attack.
"Oh!"
The loud slamming sound shook the entire room twice, and even cracks appeared in the floor of the bunker that the Red Turban Army had built as a permanent fortification.
The force was so strong that even the face of the perception-type user not far away couldn't help but twitch.
As an auxiliary, his role is more significant before the battle.
The previous Perception Guidance Scroll drained all my mana, so much so that I can't even cast a single Detection spell now.
Moreover, the captain didn't care that much about the stats; in the current world, it was impossible to become a top-tier second-order apostle.
As long as they're not at the very top level, they're confident they can handle it!
Seeing that his mana had recovered to 11%, barely enough for one detection, he immediately aimed at Li Xia and released it.
[Detection in progress; comparing the intelligence and mental attributes of both parties]
[Comparison complete. You have obtained 38% of the panel data for your target.]
The Perception-type character stared at the panel, which was mostly filled with question marks, and after only a few glances, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Four infusion skills? ??
His voice was so startled it became distorted:
"Damn it!!! Look at the panel!"
The bald man barely managed to suppress his astonishment when he heard the terrified screams of the perception-type, and his heart skipped a beat.
A vague sense of unease crept in, and after quickly glancing at the panel in the channel, my gaze suddenly froze.
I only felt a faint bitterness in my mouth.
Baldy's ability to become the leader of a ten-person group in a second-tier branch is beyond doubt.
He only needed to look at the panel to draw the same conclusion as the other regimental commander, Goat.
"Four-dimensional balance is the standard for top apostles, so what about five dimensions?"
The words of the guild's senior members chatting casually echoed in my mind.
"Anyone who dares to choose the five dimensions is either an idiot."
"Or...it's the Supreme Being."
Holy crap, I caught a great white shark while fishing!

Chapter 36 A Fight to the Death
What is the supreme being?
The one who is invincible among those of the same rank is the supreme being.
Under normal circumstances, four main units and one secondary unit is already the limit; deliberately slowing down the progress to accumulate resources is not feasible.
The temple grants each apostle a limited world, with a maximum of five opportunities per rank.
If someone fails to advance to the next level after five attempts, they are essentially deemed a waste of resources by the Hall of Fame.
The faster you advance in rank, the more generous the resource rewards from the Hall of Fame will be.
Equipment and materials can also be obtained by opening treasure chests after defeating story characters.
However, rare resources such as attribute points and time-space coins can basically only be obtained through the Hall.
With so many resources available, why doesn't the Hall of Fame give them to the 'geniuses' who advance quickly, but instead to the 'trash' who progress slowly?
Just because they level up slowly? Just because they're cowardly and develop in a sneaky way?
What the hall has always needed are 'employees' who can create value for themselves.
Therefore, it spares no expense in providing a large amount of resources for cultivation in the early stages.
Instead of needing a group of 'prudent' and 'unwilling to risk their lives' old hands.
Therefore, this kind of anomaly, five-dimensional balance, is extremely rare, and we may not see one for many years.
Of course, there are also quite a few foolish apostles who think the five-dimensional balance is cool, or who have an overconfidence in themselves that exceeds their understanding.
The "forced" five dimensions are quite impressive, at least in the early stages when everyone's attributes are low.
Who knows if he developed these attributes through five worlds or if he was a freak who rose to power in just one or two worlds?
Therefore, the best solution is...
Let's see the skills!
The bald man glanced at the opponent's skills.
Hmm—that's fine. It's only five skills, and four of them are infusion skills.
The bald man felt as if lemon juice was flowing through his body instead of blood.
He also has the Infusion skill, which is his most important ability, and he is currently at LV2.
Damn it... The bald man felt increasingly bitter.
How unlucky do you have to be to catch such a monster while fishing?
The odds are even lower than winning the lottery. Is the other person just unlucky or am I just too lucky?
Baldy's seemingly inevitable attack missed, forcing his teammates, who were preparing to follow up, to abruptly interrupt their skills.
This wasn't like a skill in a game that could be broken at any moment; the impact of the energy that had been building up inside their bodies made several people's faces turn bright red.
Some even vomited blood, and their health points dropped significantly.
"and many more!"
The bald man shouted urgently, took a deep breath, and glanced at his teammates.
If what he said before was all nonsense, then what he's saying now is the truth:
"My friend, we were blind to your greatness. Can you please stop?"
He spoke very quickly, but very clearly:
"To show our sincerity, friend, we will offer you the Dragon Balls you need with both hands, and we will also sign an agreement."
Once we return to the hall, we will open the warehouse of our second-tier branch and let our friends choose whatever they wish.
A blue-tier item, a skill book! And... this!
A time-space copper coin suddenly appeared in the bald man's hand.
He felt an intense pang of heartache; this was truly a huge financial blow...
But looking at it from another angle, it might actually be a good thing.
The bald man comforted himself... "Being able to get to know such a big shot might mean I need his help someday."
Putting everything else aside... at least the equipment you get from trading is definitely top-notch!
The guild will definitely not pursue this matter, since their approach and response from beginning to end were flawless.
They were just too lucky.
After finishing his soft approach, he subtly mentioned his background:
"We are a branch of the newly risen Tier 6 guild, the Temple of Truth. Your warehouse will definitely satisfy you!"
The bald man had racked his brains to come up with such a persuasive yet firm argument in such a short time.
Li Xia frowned. The bald man spoke too fast. In just a few seconds, he had said so much.
He didn't care about anything else, but Li Xia was really tempted by the Time-Space Copper Coin!
Because this thing is so rare, I've only acquired a few so far, and I can't even buy them, yet I have a huge demand for them.
Moreover, this time the bald man was clearly not fooling me; he genuinely wanted to talk.
Seeing that Li Xia seemed to be weighing things up, the bald man felt relieved and quickly pressed his advantage, shouting loudly:
"Violet, give the Dragon Ball to this friend!"
A female apostle dressed in a tight leather outfit, her face filled with resentment and anger, called out in a low voice, "Captain—"
"Stop talking and get it over there right now!"
The bald man was a little annoyed, but he didn't expect his bandmates to undermine him at this moment. The most important thing was to soften the situation as soon as possible.
In other words, a second-tier supreme being's killing intent hasn't fully developed yet, so there's still a chance to talk to them. The most crucial point is that the second tier hasn't really grown up.
If you encounter a Supreme Being above the fourth rank, you don't need to do anything; you can just close your eyes and wait to die.
Negotiating? Kill him and open the card!
Violet paused, the resentment and despair on her face slowly fading away. She took a deep look at the bald man.
He nodded: "Yes..."
She took out two dragon balls from the bag at her waist, held them in her hands, and slowly walked towards Li Xia.
Watching her retreating figure, the bald man's eyebrows gradually furrowed, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
As if he had just thought of something, he shouted:
"Violet—"
But it was too late; all that could be seen on Violet's pretty face was a maniacal and sinister grin.
He hurled two Dragon Balls straight at Li Xia, and a streamlined sniper rifle suddenly appeared in his hand.
He actually tried to shoot Li Xia directly in the chest.
