Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 504 - 96: The Demon Child’s Past

The seemingly one-sided duel that couldn’t come to an end was still going on.

This battle was too long for someone who was fast to the extreme.

Akasi could feel that the strength of Xi He did not come from the serum of the myriad beasts, but from himself.

He clearly had no difference from humans, yet he possessed the power to rival the myriad beasts.

Formidable vitality, terrifying speed of life recovery. And powerful abilities.

If it wasn’t for the fact that a bafflingly powerful force had inexplicably appeared within himself, this battle wouldn’t need to be dragged out this long.

He certainly didn’t believe in the existence of gods or the like in this world, but through the lengthy process of evolution, perhaps some humans indeed entered the next stage.

The speed of the dagger’s swings was accelerating.

The long evolution of mankind, after Xi He, the leader of the evolution zone, had collected all sorts of information——

It was actually only one type of evolution, that being intellectual evolution.

Over millions of years, what humanity has been constantly strengthening is their wisdom.

But there are a very small number of rare breeds that can demonstrate a change on another pathway.

Especially after the entire world’s environment became incredibly perilous.

This variant evolutionary path is the Tyrant, and it is named so because throughout the entire process of combat, the strength of the Tyrant breed is in a state of continuous escalation.

Just like being able to accurately gauge his own vitality, after Akasi’s assault had reached a certain level——

Xi He finally became certain that the Tyrant who had appeared this time had pushed him to his limits.

If he continued to hold back, in roughly ten seconds, Akasi’s speed would be able to increase to the extent that it could kill him.

This certainly wasn’t a good thing.

The pain of being cut did not cloud Xi He’s clarity of mind.

He detested thinking about what came after, that he would become unprecedentedly weak, just like Song Que.

At least in the matter of talent transplantation, he had not deceived Song Que.

"Damn, I’ve actually been driven to this point by a human!"

The thought flitted through his mind, and before the berserk red light could destroy him, Xi He softly recited his two talents.

At the same time, he also entered the most frenzied stage.

Burn Talent.

This was a terrifying power that only the most talent-filled beings, closest to the bloodline of the Orderly, could possess.

It was an irreversible consumptive amplification.

Exchanging a tremendous cost for an even greater power.

"Mobility, defensive power."

Akasi, who was still rapidly moving and attacking, didn’t hear this voice clearly.

But Yuan Wu and Tang Suoye did.

Yuan Wu’s eyes widened in shock, he had heard from Ling Yi about what had happened to Song Que; he wasn’t sure if Xi He was doing the same thing, but the solemn air around them was becoming even more oppressive, almost to the point of being suffocating!

Akasi also sensed that something was amiss.

He gradually noticed that some of Xi He’s defenses were withstanding his assaults.

It was as if he had slowed down.

But he knew he hadn’t slowed down; rather Xi He, for some reason, had suddenly gained a significant speed boost at some instant.

And it was a major increase.

But he was still far inferior to his own swiftness; Xi He’s defense still couldn’t block all the attacks.

What shockingly amazed Akasi was that not only had the speed increased, but Xi He’s body had also become much harder.

Previously, his attacks could carve deep, horrifying wounds on Xi He’s body.

But now, those wounds had become merely superficial scratches.

Xi He coldly looked at Akasi and said,

"I’m different from a half-baked individual like Song Que. The enhancement from overdrawn talents can last a long time. This battle has only just begun. And now, you can’t kill me anymore."

Xi He could no longer maintain the smile that seemed as if everything was under control, Akasi had pushed him into an extremely sorry state.

Thinking of this, he even felt somewhat angry.

But just as he said, Akasi, who had a severe lack in balance, was now finding it very difficult to cause Xi He any harm.

Xi He, with his increased speed, was no longer in a state of being absolutely suppressed by Akasi.

Xi He, shrouded in black mist, and Akasi, engulfed in red light, clashed again!

Lincoln Fortress, fourth layer, Seaside District.

It was as if entering a detested realm, one by one the mysteries hidden deep within genes were being revealed.

Tang Xian was a person of tremendous mental strength, his life reflected in the character ’Xian’ (idle).

Whether at the bottom, in the learning district, in the rookie village of the mining zone, or in the forest sea, in Baichuan City, on the southern islands,

He always lived in extreme comfort.

People thought he was in pain; in fact, he was always the most comfortable one.

Tang Feiji had never seen Tang Xian so troubled by something.

Though he didn’t know what had happened, he knew that the expressions of humans and the humanoid myriad beasts were the same.

He knew Tang Xian must be pondering some perplexing, complex, and loathsome matters.

"Are we still going up? This lord can sense some unusual auras. It’s as if there are two entities, extremely close to the orange tier, brawling up there."

Even though he didn’t have a powerful sense of smell, as a divine beast of the myriad beasts, Tang Feiji was naturally extremely sensitive to that kind of oppressive feeling in the air.

Tang Xian didn’t respond to Tang Feiji; right now, he couldn’t even concentrate enough to think, much less pay attention to Akasi and the others.
