Chapter 317: Chapter 212 He Will Not Lose_1
Jiang Chen participated in the Endless Challenges primarily to digest the Mythical Life Primordial Blood.
The Legendary Overlord had already possessed a considerable level of strength, sufficient to serve as nutrients for trait advancement.
If he directly overwhelmed it with burst damage, it would have been a waste of the opportunities for growth.
Therefore, facing the similarly attributed Naga Asura,
Jiang Chen only used the power of the [Extreme Battle Soul].
He did not activate any of his other abilities, whether it was Time Acceleration or Three Heads and Six Arms.
As a result, the digestion speed of the Shattered Space Dragon Primordial Blood indeed increased greatly, growing steadily.
“Following this pace,”
“as long as I defeat this one Legendary Overlord, I will be able to completely digest the power of the primordial blood and condense a [Mythical Conscious Soul],”
“Moreover…”
Jiang Chen’s figure flickered, wielding his weapon and clashing with the Naga Asura.
Because their attributes were similar, and both had the boost of Extreme Battle Soul, they could predict each other’s attack trajectories—
The Naga had four arms, capable of wielding four weapons at the same time, moving seamlessly.
Jiang Chen activated Phantom Combo Strike, swinging his arms together, with additional phantom limbs creating four strikes as well.
At nearly equal strength,
The fight transformed from a contest of “force” to a contest of “skill.”
The sounds of weapons clashing became incessant, and every moment produced countless rounds of exchanges.
Jiang Chen felt as if he had returned to his early days at the Luo Family Martial Arts School, experiencing an exhilarating sensation.
“In terms of improving skills quickly, it’s best to find an opponent of similar level—”
“If the enemy is too strong or too weak, it will result in a decrease in training effectiveness, and growth becomes slow,”
“Fighting with this Naga Asura for a while has led to more improvement than a hundred battles in the previous round of challenges!”
Digesting the Mythical Life Primordial Blood did not interfere with the fighting itself.
Jiang Chen’s thoughts flowed, and he thoroughly entered a mode of consolidation.
Using the Naga Asura as a whetstone to enhance his own skills.
First came the [Phantom Combo Strike].
The phantom attacks acquired through the module ability, though not as convenient as real arms, ineligible for direct control, nor capable of carrying special effects,
But if he pushed his computing power to the extreme, using the information collected with Extreme Battle Soul, he could project several more steps into the future—
He originally only anticipated the next few attacks.
Effortlessly, through both parties’ wits, he tried to predict the next ten attacks, dozens of attacks.
By foreseeing the attacks and creating numerous intersecting trajectories, he could let the slightly delayed Phantom Combo Strike miss the opponent’s movement and hit at their weaker points of exertion…
This would give him an advantage in battle!
Such was the [Delayed Combo Strike]!
Of course, the concept was good, but it was not so easy to implement in actual combat.
In a real battle, the error rate was extremely high.
Failing to break through the enemy’s defense, he instead took numerous hits.
Jiang Chen didn’t mind those.
With his defense and Life Force, these attacks were not even skin-deep… a bathhouse masseur’s damage was even higher.
If he activated the counter-damage ability of [Thorns Overgrowth], perhaps the Naga Asura would lose more blood than him…
He could even sustain injuries while cultivating a second ability.
[Non-Divulge Conscious Soul]
This term was spoken by the Blood Sickle Asura, one of the paths to strengthen the Extreme Battle Soul.
In his fight with it, Jiang Chen used [Extreme Battle Soul] X [Void Annihilation] to conceal the emanation of his Conscious Soul, achieving a similar effect.
But ultimately, it was just a knockoff.
The Blood Sickle Asura, possessing only Extreme Battle Soul, was considered an entry-level Legendary Overlord.
Unable to see through the information, it was understandable to mistake it for a Non-Divulge Conscious Soul.
However, those more advanced legendary overlords could not possibly be blind to such flaws.
If Jiang Chen wanted to progress further…
He definitely needed to grasp this power for himself through training.
“Moreover, the Non-Divulge Conscious Soul can be used not only for assassination—”
“When one’s Conscious Soul is complete without any leaks, the enemy perceives nothing, effectively nullifying the effects of Extreme Battle Soul, leaving only a slight inherent boost.”
“Yet I can still sense the opponent’s information, predict their movements.”
“Non-Divulge Conscious Soul against Extreme Battle Soul is like a Legendary fighting an ordinary being; invincible among those of the same rank, easily dominating!”
Even without exaggeration,
If Jiang Chen couldn’t master this power, he would almost be unworthy of a fair fight with Master Luo.
He could only win by overpowering with strength.
This certainly wouldn’t do.
So, while fighting with the Naga Asura,
Jiang Chen tried to improve his control over his Conscious Soul, diligently restricting his own Conscious Soul’s power.
To make his own Conscious Soul more complete, flawless.
And thus reduce the leaking of information.
In this process, it also made it harder for the Naga Asura to predict his movements, and the difficulty of the fight gradually escalated.
…
Inside the Endless Deathmatch Arena, even though it was a battle between two legendaries,
The intensity of the fight was only about 8th Rank.
Not to mention 9th Rank, even many 7th Rank Purgatory monsters were able to roughly follow the exchange.
They watched, blood boiling and utterly engrossed.
Such a sparring between powerhouses, even just by spectating, was a great enhancement to their own strengths.
Quite a few specters from Infinite Purgatory, inspired by the ebullient battle, felt breakthroughs within themselves and couldn’t help but itch for a fight.
They directly initiated attacks on other specters nearby!
The latter roared with pleasure, engaging in fierce combat together—
Not only within the arena, but even among the spectators, a bloody melee ensued!
This was one of the reasons why the specters of Infinite Purgatory were willing to participate in the Endless Deathmatch Arena.
