When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 925 - 359: Battle (2)_3

"Absolute control... is that really possible?" Old Jia found it hard to imagine anyone could control their body to such an extent.

"It’s difficult, but it seems they are on the verge of achieving it," the chairman said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Old Jia was taken aback. He quickly looked up, just in time to see the Light Bullet shot by Li Xiu heading straight toward Guan Jinghao.

"He actually did it!" Old Jia was both shocked and thrilled.

However, in the next second, Guan Jinghao swung the Holy Light Sword in his hand, and the sword’s light met Li Xiu’s Light Bullet—he also succeeded.

The Light Bullet was no match for the sword’s light; it was instantly shattered. The terrifying sword light continued and soon reached Li Xiu.

Li Xiu seemed to have foreseen this, as he moved his body in advance to dodge the frightening sword light attack.

While moving at high speed, Li Xiu continued firing Forbidden Bullets, knowing full well that they wouldn’t truly harm Guan Jinghao, yet still doing it for unknown reasons.

Evidently aware of this too, Guan Jinghao didn’t remain stationary to let the Light Bullets strike him. He shifted his position, dodging the Light Bullets while rushing towards Li Xiu, with his Holy Light Sword slashing at him.

Their battle did not appear particularly spectacular, yet Old Jia knew that in reality, the combat was far more complex and exciting than it seemed.

Perhaps now, if they intend to move left, they must first move right; if they wish to retreat, they must first advance, and it’s far more complex than this.

The seemingly simple battle, in reality, involved the two combatants investing unknown amounts of thought and effort.

"An average person would struggle just to switch left and right, yet such a battle—someone like me, an old man with a clouded mind, would likely die after just a couple of moves. Only clever young people like them can play this way," Old Jia lamented.

Back in his youth, he played the opposition game, where one person issues a command, and another must perform the opposite: if told to stand, they must sit; if told to sit, they must stand. Even with such simple reversed commands, mistakes would arise after only a few tries.

Old Jia found it hard to imagine the rapid mental reflexes required for Li Xiu and Guan Jinghao’s battle.

"Even ordinary young people couldn’t manage this," the chairman said casually.

"That’s true, both Commander Li and Guan Jinghao are exceptional figures in the Mortal World. Yet if this battle continues, once Guan Jinghao completely shakes off the influence of that power, Commander Li will be in great trouble." Old Jia saw that Li Xiu’s situation was already rather dire.

Prior to this, Li Xiu could battle Guan Jinghao because Guan Jinghao had not fully adapted to combat under the influence of Forbidden Force. However, as Guan Jinghao increasingly acclimated to this type of battle, the influence of Forbidden Force on him lessened, and his Divine Position Level power was unmistakably demonstrated, worsening Li Xiu’s predicament.

In terms of both strength and speed, Li Xiu was far inferior, and moreover, Guan Jinghao possessed the singular Light of Truth which nullifies all laws, making it impossible for Li Xiu to confront him directly.

"If they were both Divine Position Level, Guan Jinghao would have already been defeated," the chairman remarked.

"Haven’t they both adapted to the influence of that power? Why would you say Guan Jinghao already lost earlier?" Old Jia asked perplexedly.

"Just as you said, Li Xiu is merely Spirit Casting, yet how was he able to spar with Guan Jinghao without falling behind?" The chairman hinted.

"You mean Commander Li was quicker to adapt to the influence of that ability, thus allowing him to hold his own against Guan Jinghao earlier?" Old Jia figured it out.

The chairman nodded and said, "Therefore, if they were both Divine Position Level, Guan Jinghao would have already lost. I had long cautioned Li Xiu not to come to Space City before ascending to Divine Position. Yet he stubbornly acted clever and came before his ascendancy. If he’s not taught a lesson, who knows what trouble he might stir up later in the Celestial Sea. He must be taught to be more sensible."

Old Jia suddenly understood why the chairman had never intervened—he had intended to give Li Xiu some lessons all along.

"I just fear Commander Li might be too severely injured, hindering your grand plans, chairman," Old Jia remarked.

"I didn’t expect you to be so kind-hearted. Though you only followed Li Xiu for a short time, you seem to care about him greatly." The chairman looked at Old Jia with a faint smile.

Old Jia’s body trembled; he immediately knelt down, "Commander Li is a good man. I certainly don’t want to see him suffer, but this humble servant is loyal to you, chairman, without a second thought. It’s only that if Commander Li were too injured, he might not be able to represent you in the Celestial Sea."

"Stand up. I let you follow him so that you can protect him. It’s right for you to consider his well-being; there’s no need for such formality." The chairman said calmly, "Regarding the battle in the Celestial Sea, if relying solely on brute strength, even Guan Jinghao going there would only have a thirty percent chance of success. The likelihood of defeat is greater, requiring alternative strategies in other respects. In this regard, Li Xiu is stronger; although his direct power is somewhat lacking, his chances of success going to the Celestial Sea are higher than Guan Jinghao’s."

"A battle beyond the reach of brute force—what kind of battle is that?" Old Jia couldn’t help but ask.

"Your phrase ’beyond the reach of brute force’ is quite apt. Guan Jinghao is too stubborn; if Li Xiu can set aside his pride, perhaps he could win without fighting at all." The chairman looked at Li Xiu in the sky with a smile.

"Not fighting yet still winning?" Old Jia found it increasingly unimaginable what such a duel entailed.

"Sometimes, having a charming appearance is more useful than hard work," the chairman said cryptically, hinting at something.

In the sky, Guan Jinghao had fully adapted to the influence of Forbidden Force, and with a direct swing of the Holy Light Sword in his hand.

The terrifying sword’s light now faced no restraints, cleaving directly towards the inescapable Li Xiu.
