Chapter 349 - 182: How Can It Be So Strong?

After confirming that Li Chang’an understood everything, Caiyou proceeded to describe the first tactic she had devised for him.

"In the upcoming regional arena tournament, we have to create as many one-on-one opportunities for Xiaowan as possible!"

"I can apply mental pressure, causing problems with their thought processes and making their movements uncoordinated. Meanwhile, you’ll be responsible for blocking any physical attacks!"

"We’ll each tie up one opponent. As long as we can buy Xiaowan a little time, she can quickly take one down. Then it’ll be three against two, and our chances of winning will increase dramatically!"

Her tactical arrangement was, admittedly, quite reasonable.

However, Li Chang’an didn’t nod in agreement.

Caiyou paid his reaction no mind.

She glanced at the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot, which was still standing ramrod straight on the stage, and said, "Since you understand Xiaowan’s fighting style now, it’s time you showed us your specialty. Xiaowan’s session with the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot isn’t over yet. Why don’t you go up and give it a try?"

At the sound of Caiyou’s voice, everyone’s gaze fell on Li Chang’an, eager to see how he would respond.

The ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot wasn’t something just anyone could challenge.

Especially with so many people watching. If you weren’t strong enough, you could easily end up making a fool of yourself.

Su Ruobing also turned her beautiful eyes toward him.

Clearly, she was also very curious about what Li Chang’an would say.

Seeing everyone staring at him, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation, Li Chang’an glanced at the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot on the stage. He slowly shook his head. "Forget it. I’ll pick a different opponent."

Hearing this, everyone’s faces fell with disappointment.

This was especially true for Su Ruobing. She had, after all, held a sliver of hope for Li Chang’an. In her eyes, he had always been a man capable of creating miracles.

’Even though I know it’s a bit of a stretch.’

’But hope is hope. No matter how much my rational mind objects, I can’t help but wonder.’

But now, seeing Li Chang’an seemingly afraid to face the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot, Su Ruobing instantly dismissed all those unrealistic hopes and expectations.

’It makes sense. Li Chang’an is just a Newcomer who’s only been a Reincarnator for a year.’

’Breaking through quickly is a good thing.’

’But it’s clearly not an advantage in a fight between equals.’

’Rapid advancement means a shallow foundation, and a Reincarnator with a shallow foundation is doomed to fail in a regional arena packed with powerhouses.’

Caiyou also sighed, a hint of resignation in her expression.

After a moment of thought, she couldn’t help but try to persuade him. "You don’t have to use the life-or-death mode. Practical combat or sparring mode would be fine. The point is just to show us some of your abilities so I can make targeted tactical adjustments!"

Hearing her, Li Chang’an just shook his head firmly. "No need. I’ll find my own opponent. This one is simply too weak... it’s just holding me back."

The moment he finished speaking,

before anyone could react,

Li Chang’an abruptly disappeared from his spot.

By the time they located him again, they discovered he was already standing on another Rebirth Arena!

Standing on the new Rebirth Arena, Li Chang’an opened his mark and immediately purchased the ’Martial Arts God’ sparring robot.

Then, as everyone watched, utterly dumbfounded, he selected the life-or-death mode.

[DING! Purchase confirmed!]

[DING! Please select a combat mode!]

[Life-or-death mode selected. The battle will now commence!]

[Countdown: 10... 9... 8...]

Watching the countdown on the silver screen, the color drained from everyone’s face.

What the hell? They hadn’t even figured out how to deal with the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot, which cost Fifty Thousand Rebirth Points an hour, and now Li Chang’an had gone and purchased the ’Martial Arts God’ sparring robot—a level even higher than the ’Martial Arts Emperor’?

Was the world insane, or were they?

The ’Martial Arts God’ sparring robot had been released more than a month after the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot.

When it was first released, a few audacious Reincarnators had tried to take on this so-called ’Martial Arts God’.

However, if the ’Martial Arts Emperor’ sparring robot only made challengers feel a near-suffocating sense of pressure...

...then the ’Martial Arts God’ sparring robot made them feel utter Despair.

The kind of Despair that made you think, ’How can anything be this strong?’

The ’Martial Arts Emperor’ was terrifying.

But at least its strength felt tangible.

The ’Martial Arts God’s’ power, however, was completely beyond reason. Its so-called ’Divine Hand’, in particular, was like a higher-dimensional attack to the vast majority of Reincarnators!

And now,

Li Chang’an hadn’t just purchased the ’Martial Arts God’ sparring robot.

He had also fucking activated the life-or-death mode.

What was he trying to do?

Was he trying to get himself killed?

The expressions on the faces of all the participants from the Linjiang Reincarnator Association were frozen, none of them knowing how to process what was happening.

On the arena, the battle between Li Chang’an and the ’Martial Arts God’ sparring robot had begun.
