Three successive prompts rang out, and information about three Innate Divine Techniques appeared before Li Changâanâs eyes.
He took a deep breath and scanned the list from top to bottom. Aside from the effects of Combat Intuition being rather ordinary, both âSoul Coexistenceâ and âAncient Divine-Demon Bodyâ were without a doubt top-tier abilities!
The benefit of Soul Coexistence was obviousâit was like having several extra lives. Although it had its limitations, they were negligible compared to its ridiculously powerful effect.
The Ancient Divine-Demon Body, however, was on another level entirely. It was a Golden Divine Technique!
Although Li Changâan couldnât yet feel the full extent of its terrifying power, he could sense that his physical strength had increased once again.
Still, it was easy enough to guess. âAn ability the Rebirth Mark identifies as Gold-tier canât be anything simple!â
âIâve been saving up Talent Lottery Tickets for so long. I canât believe I hit the jackpot with so many good things at once!â
Feeling great, Li Changâan waved a hand and instantly appeared on the Rebirth Arena. He needed to put himself through the wringer and get completely used to his bodyâs new power.

Li Changâanâs pupils shrank as he read the information about the sparring partners in his vision.
Last time, he had defeated the âMartial Arts Emperorâ on the Martial Arts Arena. After all, even though that opponent was a copy of him, it hadnât possessed the full extent of his power.
So, when the imposter faced the genuine article, Li Changâan had defeated it with ease.
âBut now, why the hell did the Rebirth Mark suddenly create an âImmortal Martial Artistâ sparring partner? Donât tell me this is another damn imposter of me, is it?â
Given the Rebirth Markâs track record, Li Changâan figured there was a high probability that this so-called âImmortal Martial Artistâ was based on him.
âThe only question is, how many of my abilities has it synced? And can it really compare to me, the original?â
After a moment of thought, Li Changâan decided not to rush in. To play it safe, he chose to test the waters with the âMartial Arts Godâ sparring partner, an opponent he was more familiar with.
After all, he had suddenly acquired a lot of new abilities and needed to get a proper handle on them.
Otherwise, not only would he be unable to use them effectively in a fight, but they might even become a hindrance.
With a mere thought from Li Changâan, and as Rebirth Points drained rapidly from his account, the Martial Arts God emerged from the other side of the arena. Its entire form was shrouded in pitch-black shadow, yet Li Changâan could still distinctly sense that it was âanother version of himselfâ.
âDamn it all. The Rebirth Mark is making money off my clone and not even giving me a cut. And now I have to fucking pay to use it myself. This is just ridiculous!â
Taking a deep breath, Li Changâan chose the Life-or-Death Mode without hesitation.
[Mode Selection Successful. Life-or-Death Mode will now begin!]
[Countdown: 10... 9... 8...]
As the countdown on the arena hit zero, the previously motionless âMartial Arts Godâ blurred into action, appearing before Li Changâan in the blink of an eye.
Li Changâan was now a Tier Six Martial Artist, so this was a battle between two such experts.
But the moment the fight began, Li Changâan discovered his opponent was actually a Small Realm higher than him. He himself was only at the Tier Six Middle Stage, while the clone was already at Tier Six Peak!
"What the fuck? Playing dirty, are we?" Li Changâan cursed, but his face showed no sign of panic.
Even though his opponent was also a âMartial Arts Godâ and a Small Realm higher, Li Changâan was no longer the same man heâd been during his âMartial Arts Godâ days.
His power and abilities had improved tremendously over the last two rebirths.
âIn other words, this version of me is outdated!â
When his opponent appeared beside him, Li Changâan neither dodged nor evaded. He directly activated his newly acquired Three-Headed Six-Armed Divine Techniques. He used two of his six arms to block the incoming attack while the other four shot out to grab his foe.
The âMartial Arts Godâ sparring partner was clearly no pushover.
It responded by drawing a long saber and instantly slicing off two of Li Changâanâs arms.
However, despite the searing pain of having two arms severed, Li Changâanâs remaining four arms were completely unaffected. They shot out, grabbed the âMartial Arts Godâ sparring partner as it tried to retreat, and brutally slammed it into the ground, causing the entire arena to shudder.
