Capítulo 276: Sacrificial Technique - 276
Lernean felt the power of the sword strike above him and without hesitation he transformed back into his humanoid form and dodged out of the way.
The moment he left the area, the sword strike hit where he was standing. Seemingly unfazed, Lernean began to run towards Yao Mun.
Yao Mun's eye had the ability to display an attack above his combat strength every now and then. There was a cooldown, but the ability was incredibly powerful.
Without sustaining injuries, the attack would have to be only one level above his combat strength. Anything higher than that would cause injuries ranging from a cut on his body to the complete decimation of his body and soul.
Yao Mun had just displayed an attack one level above him when he attacked Lernean. At the very least, Yao Mun's combat power was at the same level as Lerneans. It was likely to be higher. Therefore, the sword attack could have very likely killed Lernean.
As Lernean ran towards Yao Mun, he once again transformed, this time slightly limiting his size. Although he was half the size as before, he still towered over Yao Mun.
As Lernean was about to use an attack, Yao Mun looked at him with disdain.
Although Yao Mun's lesser increase ability was on cooldown, he still had the ability to display an attack much higher in level than him, just with a price.
Since he completely healed after every battle, so what if he lost an arm or two?
As Lernean was about to attack, Yao Mun swung his sword in a similar way to before, a light in his eye shining.
The instant his sword hit the ground, a giant sword wave made out of demon Qi appeared and flew towards Lernean. Before Lernean could even react, he was sliced in half and appeared outside the stage.
Outside the stage was silence. Everyone was in shock at Yao Mun's attack. It was simply far too overpowered in this setting.
For an instant, everyone outside saw Yao Mun's arm disappear, but when he appeared outside the barrier, he was perfectly fine.
Eventually, the announcer spoke.
"Third round second fight winner! Yao Mun!"
"The finals will be after one more brief break. In that time, may both finalists fully prepare." The voice spoke.
Once again, the white door appeared.
Once again, everyone entered the room from before.
Yao Mun sat in the same place as before, eating the delicious food.
Meanwhile, Ying Xiong was nervously eating with Zhou Fan and his mother.
"There is no possible way that I can win. Did you see his last attack? How is that fair? What kind of bullsh*t is that?" He said as he sweat profusely.
"Language." His mother spoke.
Zhou Fan laughed as he looked at Ying Xiong.
"There is no way that you can win unless you are willing to die for it." Zhou Fan spoke.
Ying Xiong looked up at him confused. Zhou Fan continued to speak.
"If you couldn't tell from before, Yao Mun had to sacrifice his arm in order to have strength far surpassing his ability. He only had to sacrifice that little because of his special ability. For someone like you, you would have to sacrifice your life in order to match him. With your life, you could match him even if he sacrifices two arms and a leg." Zhou Fan explained.
"I don't know any life sacrificing techniques. There was never any good reason or time to learn them. How would I go about sacrificing my life?" Ying Xiong questioned Zhou Fan.
"There are three main ways to sacrifice your life for greater power. One, have a special ability like Yao Mun does. Two, use a special technique like most people would. Finally, three, the hardest, be so full of resolve and will that you momentarily are able to expend even your own life." Zhou Fan explained.
He then continued. "Naturally, you don't have the will to sacrifice yourself for a competition. That would require a life and death situation or plain insanity. Obviously, you don't have a special ability like Yao Mun. Therefore, in order to even the playing field, even just slightly, I will impart an ability that allows you to sacrifice your life in order to increase your power."
Although he avoided using specific words like divine physique, Zhou Fan planned to give Ying Xiong a technique that would sacrifice his life in order to temporarily allow him to display the power of his divine physique.
Under normal circumstances, he would only be able to use the divine physique's power at the void traversing realm.
Although Zhou Fan had allowed all abilities to be used even if they needed to be unlocked at a higher level, Ying Xiong had never used his divine physique. He likely didn't even know that he had one.
Even if a mortal was given the power of god for a moment, he would need to learn in order to create life. It was not something instantly known.
As Zhou Fan stopped speaking, he took out a talisman he had just created and stuck it on Ying Xiongs forehead. The talisman then burst into a golden light and shot into Ying Xiongs body. This would allow him to sacrifice his life and use his divine physique a single time.
"Go get em tiger." Zhou Fan said before the white door appeared.
30 minutes had already passed.
Once everyone was back in the arena, two tokens floated in the air. The number 3 token and the number 15 token.
Ying Xiong and Yao Mun jumped on the stage and looked at each other. As the numbers counted down, Ying Xiong seemed to calm down. He was no longer nervous or sweaty.
Everything seemed to be much clearer. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, a golden light seemed to be within.
The moment the battle started, Yao Mun burst towards Ying Xiong.
Meanwhile, Ying Xiong did not waste any time. In an instant, he used the technique.
A golden light flooded out of his body!
