Even with the arrow on the string, there was no need to say more. The paper man held the simple sword, his figure turned from solid to ethereal, and he attacked in front of Tang Xian in an instant. *1*1*
The shadow of the sword is ever-changing, and the moves are powerful and heavy, but the Paper Man's figure is nimble and agile, and his steps are quick. The connection between the man and the sword is vague. Sometimes the sword seems to be moving on its own, and the paper man's hand is just hanging on the handle; but sometimes it seems that the man and the sword are one, extremely powerful.
Tang Xian fought with him for dozens of moves with his bare hands, and was amazed in his heart. He had seen this kind of fighting routine many times before. Many of Luca's students had participated in the eas test, and there were videos in the data. Ordinarily, Paper Man was passed down from the first division, and there shouldn't be anything special about it, but he can actually combine the ability of molecular influence into close combat, and exert such power and change, which really shows that he has combat skills. talent.
The two of them fought faster and faster. Paper Man seemed to want to challenge the reaction speed of the old man in front of him. The offensive was not only continuous, but also the intensity and speed were gradually increasing. Whether it was consciousness or body, if any one of them was slower than half If you shoot, it may snowball into a fatal disadvantage.
In just a few minutes, the two of them exchanged hundreds of moves, with no outcome in sight. However, Zhi Xian noticed something strange: Tang Xian's condition was the same as before their fight started, his breath was tepid and his murderous intent was obvious.
Paper Man had never seen anything like this before in his life. Even the Blood Owl couldn't maintain a completely consistent state throughout the battle. The distribution of physical and mental power, and the grasp of the rhythm of explosion and recovery are all crucial skills in high-level combat. But this old man remained completely unchanged. But it’s confusing.
Thinking of this, Zhi Xia wanted to give him a try. Anyway, this was just a test. He didn't have to worry that Tang Xian would kill him.
It stands to reason. In this kind of battle between high-level ability users, both sides will always have spare strength. The most ideal state is to be at ease. Only when forced into a desperate situation or when they believe that the outcome can be determined, the masters will attack with all their strength regardless of the consequences.
But since this is not a real battle, and there is a clear gap in strength between the two sides, Paper Man has nothing to worry about. But he suddenly changed his tactics. He feigned an attack, then threw the paper knife out of his hand. This knife appears to be made of paper, but is actually driven by energy and has the ability to influence molecules. The physical properties of paper are also different. A knife strike may have a force of more than a hundred kilograms.
Tang Xian saw him changing his moves and thought to himself: "Did you change your strategy after a long fight? Or... have you seen something?" He could have caught the flying paper knife with his bare hands, but it looked like the Paper Man had an agenda. , so he decided to go with the flow. Let’s see what the other party thinks about it.
Tang Xian stepped sideways, lowered his head to avoid the blow, and the paper knife passed over his head, just inches away. It came back in less than a second, and even faster. Tang Xian raised the corners of his mouth. He smiled coldly and jumped to dodge in the shadow of the knife. Unscathed. It seemed that he had no time to deal with this attack, and the situation was extremely dangerous, but in fact he was relaxed and comfortable, and he was confident.
"Young man, are you treating my old man like a monkey?" Tang Xian chuckled and said, "If you are just tired from beating me and want to stand by and use your power to continue to consume me, then I will forgive you for not accompanying me. To be honest, Even if your attack hits me directly, it won't hurt me." He dodged several more knives and said, "But if you have any dangerous moves to make, don't waste any more time."
When Paper Man answered him, he was already standing face to face in front of Tang Xian: "Sorry, throwing the knife out is really just to delay time, but to prepare for this punch..."
At this moment, the paper knife lost the influence of its power and became like a normal newspaper. It fell gently to the ground, and the paper bandage on half of Paper Man's face also stopped moving.
Tang Xian immediately understood what the other party was trying to do, and he greeted him with his palm.
Paper Man's full blow, containing more than 90% of his own energy, struck down. He knew in his heart that Tang Xian would never lose to him with this kind of pure energy release and strength, so he could safely throw such a punch, firstly to test the limit of his own energy, and secondly. It was to see if Tang Xian could still maintain that calm fighting state while using a lot of energy in an instant. 1(1)
The result was beyond Paper Man's expectation. The other party's aura remained the same, and he used slightly more energy than his full strength to barely resist the sudden attack.
"Huh...how did you do that." After Zhi Xia punched him, he naturally needed some time to recover. This is like an untrained person running a thousand meters at a sprint speed. After using up all his energy in an instant, the person basically lies down with his tongue hanging out.
"Haha... I am testing you now, not you testing me." Tang Xian replied: "Curiosity is good, but I want to test my strength in the evaluation. I have never met such a person so far. ." He paused for a moment: "As far as you are concerned, you are still far from fully understanding the strength of Toki Shitori. You are also a fierce-level ability user and you have just learned to use energy. Compared with people of this monster level, the gap is more than a hundred times. And he and I are even more different... Haha, did you just think that using the peak of your own energy in a pure external attack can make my battle better? Has there been some change in status?"
"Hmph... It seems to have failed so far." Zhi Xia said.
"If you knew the gap between your energy peak and mine, you wouldn't ask the question 'How did I do it?'" Tang Xian said: "The answer is, I didn't do anything. Just like you reached the extreme After level 1, you have body-protecting energy, so you don’t have to defend yourself from the punches and kicks of ordinary people, to the bullets fired from firearms, to the not-so-powerful grenade explosions, because the intensity of those attacks can’t even reach you. No energy flowing on the body can penetrate it."
"Are you saying that the highest energy I burst out in an instant can't even break through the energy protection you usually reveal unconsciously?" Paper Man asked, and the paper bandage on his face began to float again, indicating that he had recovered. .
Tang Xian smiled and said: "Of course not. I used my palm to meet your fist, which means that you really need to use some energy to catch the blow. However, I can release it without any effort, which is stronger than yours." A punch has greater energy, if you want to quantify it. I can give you a rough reference. The energy contained in your punch just now was almost your full strength. Assume that this energy can fill a bucket; and If my old bones were like yours, and I could punch like that, the energy would be enough to fill a swimming pool."
Zhixia continued: "Hmph... that is to say... it takes no effort at all to get a bucket of water out of the swimming pool."
Tang Xian said: "Your attempt to test me gives me a good idea of your level of energy. This is also very useful test data. Next, if your asthma subsides, use some energy as soon as possible. Killing moves, superb combat skills or effective moves are all part of the strength. After seeing the situation just now, you should be able to attack with confidence and boldly using any move."
Hearing this, Zhi Xia opened his palm, and the Zhi Pu knife that fell on the ground flew up and stabbed Tang Xian in the back. Tang Xian stepped aside and let the paper knife fly past, returning to the Paper Man's hand.
I saw him raising his hand to slash backwards and shouting. The sword energy rushed out, tearing the air. There were sonic booms one after another, this knife. It is very similar to the blood owl's long-distance hand knife attack, but at this moment the fight is in the testing ground of Pure Alloy, the ground has not been damaged yet, and I don't know which one is more powerful between the two.
Tang Xian did not evade. He felt that there was no harm in taking this blow. The movement of the opponent's energy fell in his eyes, so Tang Xian naturally knew the power of each move. He raised one hand and slapped it with the back of his hand to deflect the invisible slash. The explosive energy distorted the air within ten meters to the left of Tang Xian.
"This sword alone is more powerful than the direct attack you used to turn paper into a weapon, and in terms of speed, this invisible attack is also faster." Tang Xian said: "But you should be more than that."
Zhixia snorted coldly: "It seems that all my previous combat information is under eas' control."
"It's normal. This is your duty." Tang Xian replied.
The Paper Man smiled and said, "Then I'll give you some information that I didn't have before." He raised his hand, and all the stack of newspapers thrown aside flew up and floated in the air around him.
Paper Man once again raised his sword and charged forward. This time Tang Xian was not polite to him. He opened his arms and legs, raised his hands, turned around and kicked. This kick was not very fast. Paper Man originally wanted to sink it. Unexpectedly, the strange counterattack accelerated instantly, making Paper Man unable to avoid it, and kicked him on the shoulder. The force was like a stormy sea. The kick sent Paper Man flying backwards, half of his body feeling numb.
Tang Xian was measured. If he wanted to kill a guy who had only reached the ferocious level for a few months, he only needed to put more force on this kick. At this moment, he just wanted to see how Paper Man would respond. And just in the direction in which Paper Man flew backwards, a piece of paper floating in the air moved right on the trajectory of his retreat. It began to change in an instant, folded repeatedly, and quickly turned into a spring-like shape. Paper Man adjusted his posture, and when he reached that position, he just stepped on the paper and bounced back.
This move made a comeback, as powerful as a tiger descending from a mountain, and as fast as lightning, the paper man raised his knife in the air to strike. The power of Tang Xian's kick seemed to be doubled, pushing Paper Man to counterattack.
"Luca taught you very well. That's how it should be. The molecular influence class has reached the level of fierceness and above. Only those who know how to make their abilities serve the energy users themselves are masters." Tang Xian praised the other party while taking another palm. But when his palm touched the blade, a strange color flashed in his eyes. However, this did not affect the completion of the action. The Paper Man still changed direction and was ejected.
"It's not over yet." The paper man flew to another piece of paper just like before, preparing to repeat the same trick, and this time the speed and power should be even stronger.
"You have to think clearly, with your current physical ability, whether you can withstand higher speed movement..." Before Tang Xian finished speaking, Paper Man had already turned back from another "spring" and came to him.
Tang Xian did not catch the sword this time, but used the speed to disappear from Paper Man's sight in an instant, avoiding the attack, and hit Paper Man's chest with an elbow, sending him flying upwards. Only then did he continue: "It also has a powerful effect."
Paper Man felt his blood and energy stagnating in his chest, and he could no longer hear any sounds in his ears. Moreover, at the moment he was hit, he lost contact with the papers floating in the air as auxiliary papers. He originally had no idea of the location of these papers in his mind. There was a clear concept, but the moment he was elbowed by Tang Xian. Paper Man was completely stunned.
When his back hit the ceiling of pure alloy, he felt a sense of relief that the huge force was relieved, followed by the explosion and spread of pain. Of course, this level of pain. Paper Man could bear it. When he fell from a height, he still stood firmly on his feet.
Tang Xian said: "The moves are good, but a little messy." He raised his palms with a red mark on them: "It's a good way to use your strength to fight, but your body has a limit to what it can withstand. If your opponent's strength is too strong, Strong, this move of yours is very dangerous for you." He said: "Just now you turned back again. If I didn't avoid it and still caught the knife with my palm in the straight line of your advance, then my arm might be chopped off by you. Open, but you will also be seriously injured at the same time."
"Then what if you make a side attack and push me towards another piece of paper?" Paper Man asked, "Maybe the next blow I turn back can completely cut off your arm, and the force of the recoil will be small. too much."
"Haha... If you turn back again, you might be shattered into pieces the moment you fly out. Even if that's not the case, you will fall into an illusion of stalling and have no idea where you are turning, and your reflex nerves will not have time to give orders. If you make any movement with your body, there is a 90% chance that you will not be able to find the target at all. It will bounce to the ground or deflect my body and hit other places." Tang Xian said: "Also, don't forget. I have time. In response, if your move is enough to cut off my arm, of course I will choose to avoid it, but you will still hit the wall and be seriously injured."
"It seems to make sense, but I am a person who will confirm everything only after trying it myself." Zhixia replied.
"Try it when you are alone. Find a wider place and go back and forth between the two pieces of paper. I won't accompany you." Tang Xian said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which... young people nowadays like to go there. Think of some random moves, this fighting method of treating yourself like a marble, that Tianwei named Tosaka also used it."
"Oh? Tianwei also came up with a similar move?" Zhixia asked.
"The boy who was the waiter who tested him at that time." Tang Xian nodded and said: "He is not as polite as I was just now. Even if he can terminate the other party, he will continue."
"What was the result of using the guard that day? Did it also end in injury?" Zhi Xia asked.
"Of course not. Although Tosaka had not yet become a Heavenly Guard, he was still stronger than you are now. Moreover, his ability was a structural mutation, and his endurance was much stronger than yours. As far as Tosaka is concerned, he is better than you. At the retracement speed that was ten times faster just now, even if he passively accelerated and rebounded, he would not be injured." Tang Xian sighed: "So, the result of the last assessment was that the third test site was riddled with holes, and ten The several-meter-thick pure alloy wall is full of grooves, and one of the six walls has been penetrated. Fortunately, it was the floor that was penetrated. If Tosaka finally flew out from the ceiling that day, it would not only destroy the office area upstairs , causing casualties, it is more likely to fly directly outside the atmosphere and cause his own death."
Paper Man snorted: "Unpleasant story." He gathered the papers around him and floated around them: "Those attacks made of paper into beasts or sharp blades are already in the database, I think No need to show it anymore.”
Tang Xian replied: "Let me think about it... Your peak energy emission has also been tested; and in terms of skill, for a person who has just reached the ferocious level, the strength and speed are not inferior to those with physical variation." "This is worthy of praise; as for the move just now... it has yet to be developed, and it is still difficult for you to use it at the moment." He paused: "Is there anything else you need to show me?"
"I don't know if this counts." Paper Man said, and the paper around him flew towards Tang Xian.
But these papers did not become hard or sharp. They just flew over like ordinary newspapers, unfolded and covered Tang Xian's body, wrapping him as airtight as a mummy.
"Haha... This is interesting." Tang Xian replied angrily: "But dry paper is breathable. If you want to suffocate people, such a thin layer will not work. At least dozens of kilograms will be required... " His words suddenly stopped because he found that the paper that was supposed to be breathable made him unable to breathe.
Paper Man said: "Perhaps this can be regarded as overcoming strength with softness." Until this second, Tang Xian's aura remained unchanged, "After reaching the fierce level, I found that it is not necessary to turn paper into a weapon with extremely high hardness. I can try To change the density and toughness, let the paper stick to the opponent's skin in a soft form like this, blocking the air. If the opponent does not have a sharp blade or the like, it may not be able to tear it with bare hands even if it is attached with energy. Most people with abilities are no different from ordinary people in an environment without oxygen, and suffocation means death."
Finally, for the only time during this evaluation, the aura exuded by Tang Xian was no longer in a covert form. It exploded in an instant, making Paper Man tremble involuntarily.
The tension of those papers became really amazing. The paper covering Tang Xian's body actually bulged up like a balloon. Its volume was stretched to an incredible extent. It was obviously just a dozen old newspapers. When it bulged up, it formed a spherical object with a diameter of It didn't explode until it exceeded ten meters.
At that second, Paper Man felt energy as vast as the sea of stars.
Tang Xian took a deep breath and immediately returned to normal: "This move is quite good. I'm afraid it will make a large number of ability users with your level helpless."
However, Zhi Xia was still shocked by the substantial energy flowing past him, and exclaimed: "You are talking about a swimming pool, this is obviously a lake..."
