Chapter 334: Chapter 155: High-Energy Emission

"You think you’ve got me figured out?"

Lin An was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression fluctuating with uncertainty, and he did not retort.

Gao Xin’s combat instincts were indeed top-notch, and this trait was not one of the six dimensions, unmeasurable, only demonstrable in real combat.

Previously, during his intense battle with the Black Knight, his moves of slashing the invisible substitute were astonishingly brilliant!

That also greatly shocked Lin An.

The more he failed to land a hit on Gao Xin, the greater his psychological pressure became.

Lin An had thought that Gao Xin, who was at his last gasp, could be killed in two moves.

Yet unexpectedly, Gao Xin kept dodging and evading, and Lin An just couldn’t finish him off.

In terms of reflexes, Gao Xin was not inferior, and he was certainly not lacking in stamina.

Despite his gaunt appearance, the radioactive material within his body kept his high-energy cells endlessly active.

Seeing Gao Xin so decisively confident, Lin An truly felt that he could do it, and for a moment his morale took a hit.

Why did he attempt to ambush Gao Xin just now? Wasn’t it because he feared that after a round of rest, Gao Xin would be more than he could handle?

He only backstabbed because he couldn’t win; if he had the strength of Ling Sha, then he too would be overflowing with confidence, fearing no one.

Now, one was dodging and weaving to buy time, while the other was undergoing a transformation at the Elephant Level, eyeing him like prey.

Lin An was under extreme pressure, his eyes nearly bursting, feeling as if he were the one at the end of his rope.

"No way, right? No way, right?"

"I can’t have the upper hand and still fail to beat them, ending up completely defeated, can I?"

Lin An was in a panic; losing now would be too humiliating.

If he clung on to the end, even betraying friends and family, yet couldn’t win against two exhausted opponents, it would all have been in vain.

"Ling Sha dies first!" Lin An’s eyes hardened, and amidst the immense psychological pressure, he suddenly changed his target and rushed towards Ling Sha.

His massive palm, resembling a bear’s paw, struck at Ling Sha.

The blow came suddenly, fast and heavy.

Ling Sha couldn’t resist, barely managing to raise her hand before being thrown like a ragdoll, vomiting blood and convulsing violently.

"Wait... just wait..." Ling Sha was on the brink of death, shaking uncontrollably.

"Wait your head, let’s go!" Gao Xin’s legs pumped as he suddenly took off running.

He headed toward the direction of the passage, dragging Ling Sha with him.

Though Gao Xin was not short on stamina, his body was too fragile, currently unable to withstand a single hit.

If Lin An kept entangling with him, Gao Xin was confident that he could keep evading until Ling Sha completed her transformation.

Then they would be able to take down Lin An for sure.

But Lin An wasn’t foolish; seeing Gao Xin stalling, he immediately stopped wasting time on him and went straight for Ling Sha.

Ling Sha was at a critical moment of her transformation, and her head had just been reattached, rendering her virtually combat-incapable.

Gao Xin had just enough to look after himself, but he really couldn’t protect Ling Sha and could only run, pulling her along.

"Don’t even think about escaping!"

Lin An made a giant leap, catching up to Gao Xin in an instant, his oversized hand swinging down from above.

Sensing the imminent danger behind him, Gao Xin threw Ling Sha onto the second floor while he swung around at the entrance of the passageway to make a counter-slash.

The blade clashed fiercely.

In the process of severing half of Lin An’s palm, Gao Xin was also sent flying by the impact.

He cracked all over, suffering extensive comminuted fractures.

"Die!" Lin An disregarded the Demon Blade and struck again.

This time, he was determined to kill Gao Xin!

"Swish!"

In a moment of life and death, Gao Xin, while being flung backward, could only manipulate the Demon Blade, trying to unleash the energy within it with all his might.

And that move proved to be effective.

The one-foot blade of light at the tip of the Demon Blade shot out like an arrow.

"What!"

Lin An quickly dodged, but still got hit by the blue-white blade of light on his shoulder.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, like showers of sparks from smelting iron, the blue-white, high-temperature plasma burst forth, dazzlingly bright.

While the exoskeleton on Lin An was being melted through, he caught fire.

He quickly patted himself to extinguish the flames, and by then, Gao Xin had made it to the upper floor.

By the time Lin An caught up, all he saw was Gao Xin and Ling Sha entering Room H and closing the door behind them.

"Aaaarghhh... just a bit more, just a bit more!"

Lin An’s eyes were about to explode with rage; one more hit and he could have killed Gao Xin, but he had let him slip into the room.

"Come out if you dare!" Lin An stood in front of the door, bellowing.

"Why don’t you come in?" Gao Xin laughed from behind the door.

Lin An’s eyes darkened, "You think I’m afraid of high voltage? My resistance to electricity is quite strong."

Gao Xin said, "Oh really? I’d like to see just how much stronger than the Demon Blade you are."

"Go ahead and touch the door if you dare; if you do, I’ll send you to meet the Great Spirit with a single slash!"

"Damn it!" Lin An was so frustrated, he scratched his head.

They were both at their weakest now; if he could get in, he could easily win.

But to burst through the door, he didn’t dare to be so reckless.

Even though he had high electrical resistance, the unavoidable shock from forcefully opening the door was something not even the Demon Blade could stop before.

It was clear that doing so would inevitably lead to paralysis.

The images of Viper and Swamp Crocodile being slashed to death were vivid in his mind.

Without a doubt, if he dared to open the door, Gao Xin would dare to kill him on the spot.

"Should I take the chance? Maybe my high resistance could help me recover from paralysis quickly..."

"No, no matter how quick, it won’t be faster than his Plasma Flying Blade..."

Lin An’s expression was grave; the move Gao Xin pulled off with the Plasma Flying Blade earlier was truly formidable.

Once he got electrified and paralyzed, even just for an instant, Gao Xin would just need to open the door and throw his blade, using Lin An’s head for target practice, and that would be the end.

This move was different from the Sky-shattering Object Explosion; it had no telegraphing and could be released with a flick of the hand.

If it hadn’t been for Gao Xin’s sudden plasma shot, Lin An could have finished Gao Xin with one more palm strike to his head, turning it into pulp.

Alas, it was such a pity, just by a whisker!

This technique was something Gao Xin had never used before; was it a sudden insight, or was it something the Demon Blade could only do when fully charged?

As Lin An hesitated and pondered, the robot had already approached from behind.

He let out a long sigh and had no choice but to first enter the nearby Room G.

By then, all three people had entered their rooms, and the fourth round of questioning began.

And, just as everyone had speculated before, once the next round started, the robot’s hatred reset and it returned to its own room.

"Clang!"

As soon as the fourth round began, Gao Xin immediately opened the door and shot an arrow at the bell.

The questioner of this round was still him.

Lin An had just come out when he was forced back in, "Straight into the fourth round, with just the three of us players, the questioning will be dominated by the robot."

"Aren’t you afraid you’ll score negative points this round?"

Gao Xin shrugged, "I’m not afraid of anything, it’s just staking one’s life."

"Tch... hurry up and ask the question," Lin An said irritably.

It really sucks, starting the game like this, the outcome is the same as before he betrayed.

It’s still the three of them staking their lives, their fate in the hands of a robot.

Did he not betray in vain? And needlessly fell out with Ling Sha...

Originally, it was him and Ling Sha on one side, with Gao Xin alone. Now, it’s become Gao Xin and Ling Sha on one side, with him alone.

"What’s the rush? The questioner has one minute to think, allow me to ponder a bit..." Gao Xin said with a smile.

The questioner must finish asking the question within one minute at the round table.

This one minute might seem short, but it was enough for Ling Sha to achieve a breakthrough. In critical moments, a minute could make all the difference.

"Damn it!"

Lin An circled anxiously but had no solution.

"Stop looking. Want a taste of my Plasma Flying Blade?" Gao Xin suddenly swung at him through the air.

Seeing this, Lin An immediately dodged.

However, the expected Plasma Flying Blade did not shoot out; Gao Xin had only swung through the air.

"Huh?" Gao Xin also looked puzzled at the Demon Blade.

Previously, during a life-or-death situation, he had unleashed the Plasma Flying Blade in desperation.

He had thought it was an ability brought on by the intense charging of the Demon Blade, but it seemed that was not the case, otherwise, he should be able to unleash it now as well.

"Strange, what’s going on?" Gao Xin kept trying.

The control of the Demon Blade was straightforward, just by handle contact, and it would automatically link with the holder’s nervous system.

All the holder had to do was focus on sending strong neural signals, which was exactly Gao Xin’s forte.

But now, no matter how much he urged the Demon Blade to emit plasma, there was no response, leaving him utterly baffled.

"Haha! You can’t use it anymore? So you were bluffing before?"

"Ridiculous, do you think you can master the Energy Slash of Cang Yue just like that?"

Lin An laughed loudly, this was a rare piece of good news.

But immediately afterward, a terrifying aura spread from the next room, making him shiver involuntarily.

"Crap!" Lin An’s smile faded.

Bad news followed; Ling Sha had completed her transformation and stepped into Elephant Level.

"I understand now, it’s biological energy..." Gao Xin suddenly looked up.

He had an epiphany, realizing that the Demon Blade could shoot out plasma because, in his desperation, he had also released biological energy with it.

Thinking about it, the world’s number one, Cang Yue, must also possess biological energy, and it would be terrifyingly strong.

The Demon Blade’s Energy Slash must be an ability that could only be activated at Elephant Level or above.

But why had Gao Xin been able to use it earlier?

The reason was that during his previous fierce battle with the Black Knight, the Demon Blade had absorbed a lot of the Black Knight’s biological energy...

"Buzz!"

Gao Xin thought of the key and instantly swung his blade, sending light bursting through the air!

"Ah!" Lin An hadn’t expected Gao Xin to suddenly unleash it again and took a direct hit.

Immediately, a cruel gash appeared on his chest. If not for the high defense of the giant bear mecha, he might have been completely penetrated and sliced in two.

Even so, his chest was blasted into a bloody mess, with the scorching hot plasma raging inside his body.

"Splash!" Lin An was ablaze, feeling as if his insides were burning. He quickly dodged to the side, not daring to show himself.

"Hahaha!"

Gao Xin laughed heartily; the Demon Blade was indeed handy.

The test just now had also made him understand the principle of the Energy Slash.

It was simple; initially, the Demon Blade could only produce a short blade radiance at the tip and could not be projected.

No matter how hard one swung, it stuck firmly at the tip.

But once the Demon Blade absorbed biological energy, Gao Xin just needed to make it release that biological energy as blade radiance.

Then, the plasma radiance generated at the tip would be cut off, directly projecting it forward.

Combined with Gao Xin’s flick, it became the Plasma Flying Blade, an energy-projected slash.

"Though I haven’t stepped into Elephant Level, does this count as the Demon Blade entering Elephant Level?"

Gao Xin couldn’t help but smile. The Demon Blade now had three types of energy: high-temperature plasma, high-voltage electric shocks, and the Black Knight’s biological energy.

Although he didn’t have a Biological Field and couldn’t use the Demon Blade to launch various surrogate attacks, just this invisible ’biological energy blade radiance’ was enough to take Gao Xin’s combat ability to the next level.

Already, his ghost-like blade techniques were fearsome. Now that the Demon Blade could extend an invisible blade radiance a foot longer at the tip, who could withstand it?

Moreover, with his entry into True Tiger, as long as he restored his muscles, he was confident he could kill a True Tiger as easily as slaughtering a chicken!

With five stages of overclocking, he felt he could face a full-strength young Elephant Level without disadvantage.

As for the high-energy Plasma Flying Blade, it was yet another trump card.

"Tai Sui, hurry with the question!" Ling Sha’s voice came from the room.

Gao Xin snapped back to reality, glanced at the countdown, only three seconds left, and quickly asked his question.

"What are the top ten largest celestial bodies by mass in the Solar System?"

After posing the question, he hurried into Room J because there was no robot in that room.

If he didn’t enter, it would be the equivalent of missing an answer.

"Phew... Can’t get carried away. Just now I almost ran out of time to ask the question."

Gao Xin calmed himself; although failing to ask the question in time wouldn’t lead to being shot on the spot, it would directly result in failing the Q&A.

Without a question, there would be no answer, and this round he was determined to score.
