One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

"You only see the glory I have in front of people, but you don't see the hard work I put in behind the scenes,"

Su Heng said gently, comforting.

"Haha, cut the crap, you think you are sure to win!?" Xie Linyuan said coldly, "Deciding the victor isn't merely about the strength of spiritual power."

"Secret Technique·Golem Dharma Body!"

Xie Linyuan's five fingers fluttered up and down, creating illusions.

He then slapped his abdomen hard, making a slapping sound, and a large swath of black mist surged out of his body instantly. The black mist formed armor that enveloped his entire body. When the mist dissipated, what stood before Su Heng was an over five-meter-tall figure clad in heavy armor, wielding an axe in the left hand and a mace in the right, the ferocious Dharma King with raging eyes.

Xie Linyuan used the Secret Technique to transform into the enraged Dharma King.

He pushed off the ground with force, leaped forward, and the massive axe swung towards Su Heng's chest without warning.

Bang!

Although his spiritual power was formidable, its application paled in comparison to a Heavenly Deceit master like Xie Linyuan.

The bonds formed by spiritual power were forcibly broken by the latter, who then let out a roar and, with the speed of a thunderclap, hammered towards Su Heng's chest.

Crack!

It seemed like cracks were spreading across Su Heng's Spiritual Body.

His whole body swiftly retreated backward, landing heavily in a void.

Su Heng looked down, seemingly interested in examining the narrow and deep wound on his chest, which let no blood but small points of light akin to fireflies escape.

And as these points of light dissipated from Su Heng's body, it began to appear somewhat dimmed.

Seeing this, Xie Linyuan burst into uproarious laughter, "You never thought this day would come, did you!"

Since their first encounter, Xie Linyuan had always been dominated by Su Heng, treated without any respect. He didn't have a chance to show his temper. 𝘙

That was until just now, when Su Heng was injured for the first time.

To Xie Linyuan, it felt like finding a spring in a parched desert, a sense of elation at his unexpected survival made him so excited that he seemed almost to have a touch of madness about him.

"Bring it on!" Xie Linyuan laughed wildly as if he had already won, "I won't just kill you easily, I'll take over your body and then tear your loved ones to shreds bit by bit, letting you fully taste this despair and pain!"

"This is the price for being an enemy of the Golem Sect!"

Boom!

Xie Linyuan grew increasingly ferocious in battle, black mist swirled around him, and a tumultuous radiance surged forth.

He blitzed across the void with a thud, his giant axe creating a screeching sound as it heavily smashed into Su Heng's neck. Just like before, Su Heng had no reaction. Holding the handle of the axe, Xie Linyuan swept unobstructed through the air, feeling a rush of exhilaration and even breaking into mad laughter. nøvel.coɱ

But as he laughed, Xie Linyuan realized something was not right.

He felt that the axe in his hand was unusually light. Looking down, he was shocked to see only the handle remaining in his grasp.

Looking up, he locked eyes with Su Heng.

Su Heng tilted his head and suddenly said, "Have you ever heard of the lantern fish?"

"Lantern fish? What nonsense are you babbling about?" Xie Linyuan looked at the handle in his hand, trying to make sense of what had just happened. Not daring to make any rash moves, he simply watched Su Heng from a distance with a furrowed brow, on high alert.

"Lantern fish, they live in the deep sea. They use the glowing protrusion on their head to attract prey, and when the prey gets close, they reveal their true form and swallow it whole with one bite,"

As he spoke, a smile spread across Su Heng's face.

"What do you mean by that!?" Xie Linyuan didn't understand but felt an ominous premonition rising within him.

His heart was filled with horror. Had it been the real world, his hair would be standing on end by now. But with the battle coming so far, there was no more retreating. Xie Linyuan suddenly looked stern and said coldly, "You think you can disrupt my thoughts with your flowery words? Wishful thinking!"

"I don't need to outsmart an ant," Su Heng replied calmly, "I just wanted to tell you that sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth."

"For instance, how can you be sure that what you're seeing now is the real me?"

"What kind of joke is this—"

Xie Linyuan's speech was interrupted by a dull, thunderous roar. He opened his mouth wide, his eyes bulging in disbelief as he looked down at the waters beneath his feet. The pitch-black sea water was boiling, creating waves that rose with an unbelievable speed and surged upwards.

"Roar!"

A dragon's cry crossed through the ages.

A huge whale-like black creature slowly emerged from the sea. It was so massive, hundreds of meters in length—just the part exposed above the water resembled a gigantic island. Its back was covered with pitch-black, menacing shells like towering cliffs, and its lower jaw was writhing with scarlet tentacles.

Upon its appearance, this whale unabashedly exuded an ancient and enigmatic powerful aura, dominating the entire space with unrivaled tyranny.

Continuous, thunderous noises bombarded Xie Linyuan's brain.

His face was filled with a mix of fear and astonishment, his mouth opened to its fullest, but he could only emit a gasping sound.

The whale leaped out of the water.

It had no eyes, no nostrils, no superfluous facial features to speak of.

Only a mouth, so large it was terrifying, filling its entire face. At that moment, the abyss-like jaws gaped open, revealing the hellish, worm-like sharp teeth inside. The mouth was so huge that as it bit down toward Xie Linyuan, the latter felt as though the whole heavens and earth were bearing down on him with a thunderous roar.
