362: You lose, genius of the Ithra civilization

Chen Hean swiftly turned around, swinging his spear in a backhand motion to block Chen Du's attack.

Although Chen Hean had adopted a combat stance in advance, he wasn't planning to make the first move.

The reason wasn't caution, but because Chen Du had used the ability of the Fifth Secret Treasure to increase his Life Strength Rank.

While Chen Heping had never seen this ability of Chen Du's, everything in this world has certain regularities and similarities.

Abilities that enhance strength or Rank, no matter how flashy their effects, must follow two principles.

One is a time limit, and the other is side effects.

These are unavoidable, as your strength or Rank is only temporarily increased.

Therefore, he wouldn't attack proactively; with every passing second, the opponent would grow more anxious, and if the opponent were to force an attack at that point, they would be more likely to expose a weakness.

Although Chen Heping was a Skysoar Martial Artist, he knew that his strength had severely declined, and any Skysoar Martial Artist could kill him.

This forced him to face the enemy before him cautiously, even though the opponent was only an Advanced Martial Artist.

However, this Advanced Martial Artist possessed the incredibly rare Eight Secret Chambers!

He was entirely worth treating as an opponent of equal Rank.

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The two exchanged blows, engaging in hundreds of moves in the sky in an instant.

Chen Du's wings didn't surprise Chen Hean much; Humanoid life forms of this appearance more or less developed technology.

“Strong, too strong!”

“To actually be able to go head-to-head with a Skysoar Martial Artist at the Advanced Martial Artist stage!”

Ku Shan's trio on the Surface exclaimed in admiration as they watched the two exchanging blows in the sky.

Ku Shan was utterly stunned by Chen Du's strength at this moment; even in his dreams, he had never imagined that he could directly confront a Skysoar Martial Artist at the Advanced Martial Artist Rank.

What was even more terrifying was that this Surface Alien Race named Du Cheng, his essence was only Rank 16!

The Civilizations on the Surface were truly terrifying!

And according to the education he received since childhood, there were even more powerful Great Civilizations on the Surface than the Small Civilizations!

He now truly understood firsthand why the elders within his Civilization had to migrate underground.

The living dead lying on the ground also stopped wailing at this moment; some were awed by the aura of the two, while others believed the savior had arrived, and they could finally be freed.

In short, at this moment, they seemed to forget their pain, fully engrossed in watching or feeling this battle of the brave against the Dragon.

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The long spear and the long sword clashed fiercely, emitting countless sparks, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky.

The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch; each collision made the surrounding air hum, as if the entire space was about to be torn apart by this intense confrontation.

As time passed, Chen Du's strength grew stronger and stronger, and Chen Hean actually began to slowly fall into a disadvantage.

“Your Martial Skill level is actually Entrance to the Microscopic 19%!”

Chen Hean exclaimed in shock.

According to his initial assessment, Chen Du's Martial Skill level should have been Entrance to the Microscopic 5%; he hadn't expected the opponent hadn't exerted full effort before.

Although he had an advantage in pure strength.

This advantage was not significant; the opponent's Martial Skill level far exceeded his own, which meant Chen Hean couldn't fully defend against Chen Du's Qi.

And Chen Hean's body couldn't afford to sustain any noticeable injuries; once injured, it would trigger a series of chain reactions, and if his strength dropped another level, he would truly be in danger.

Chen Du ignored the opponent's shock and simply continued to attack.

After all, his period of strength was also limited; his goal was to at least beat Chen Hean to a pulp or render him immobile.

As time passed, Chen Hean grew more and more alarmed; this Du Cheng not only had a high Martial Skill level, but his combat experience felt even richer than his own!

Every movement, every attack angle of the opponent seemed to be pre-designed.

After every 3 to 5 attacks, a defensive gap would appear at his vital body parts such as his head, heart, throat, eyes, ears, and groin, forcing him to change his original attack trajectory and instead be compelled to defend.

One or two times would be understandable, but this situation continued to occur repeatedly, keeping him in a long-term passive and defensive position.

In such a short time, he couldn't possibly think that much; this could only mean that the opponent's combat experience far surpassed his own.

Looking at the opponent's youthful face, Chen Hean fell into contemplation.

Hmm?

Chen Du, who had been steadily suppressing Chen Hean, suddenly noticed that the opponent had completely given up on attacking and was putting all his energy into defense.

Trying to drag out the time and exhaust me to death?

Chen Du thought to himself.

Chen Du, a seasoned warrior, understood a principle: offense is the best defense; you can only make the opponent afraid by posing a threat, thereby better protecting yourself.

If it's purely defensive, it means you have no offensive capability, and in the end, you're just a living target.

Not only will it not buy time, but it will also lead to continuous injuries, increasing the gap between the two.

Chen Hean didn't know the specific mechanism of Promotion, so doing this was not strange, but for Chen Du, it was also an opportunity to attack.

Although the opponent blocked all of Chen Du's attacks, the difference in Martial Skill would allow some Qi to pass through the spear and hit Chen Hean.

The Big Ear Civilization belongs to the beast-Humanoid life forms that need weapons to exert their strength; although they are tough, they cannot continuously absorb Chen Du's Qi, so many defenses are primarily focused on evasion.

“Brother Ku Shan, Divine Envoy Hean seems to be losing!”

Next to Ku Shan, an Advanced Martial Artist half a head shorter than him said anxiously.

His Life Strength Rank was the same as Chen Du's, Rank 16; before today, he had never imagined that a Rank 16 Advanced Martial Artist could be so terrifying.

It simply exceeded the limits of his imagination.

He still couldn't believe that this person, who was steadily suppressing Divine Envoy Hean, was essentially just a Rank 16 Advanced Martial Artist like him!

Is this what the Surface Alien Race is like? Truly terrifying!

If Divine Envoy Hean were truly killed, they would also die; although he really wanted to help, he also understood that he would only be a hindrance.

“Don't panic!”

Ku Shan seemed to be waiting for something, he comforted.

He was also very flustered at the moment, but he had to appear calm on the Surface to give off the impression that they could win.

After Chen Hean went all out on defense, his disadvantage became even greater, and this continuous retreat lasted for about a minute.

Suddenly, a “squeaking” sound came from all around, a sound with strong penetrative power that caused a headache just by hearing it.

Accompanying the squeaking sound, countless dense fine needles suddenly appeared in the sky, surrounding Chen Du from all 360 degrees without any blind spots.

“Charge complete!”

“You lose, Genius of the Itera Civilization!”

Chen Hean, who had been passively taking blows, suddenly laughed like a traveler seeing clear skies after a rain.

“My body is indeed not what it used to be; in terms of strength, I'm not much stronger than you, but my Mental Energy Rank won't decline with my physical condition!”
