Chapter 1157 - 114: Fundamental Enhancement

The 1.2-meter-tall body completely defied Earth’s gravity, floating in the air to the same height as Wen Yu. The aura around him grew heavier and reached a heart-stopping intensity for Wen Yu in a short period.

"Sequence Number 1 of Lin Sai World, you can also call me Lin Sai."

The 1.2-meter-tall figure said, his face full of pride. This scene reminded Wen Yu of the past Arthas. Both were prodigies of their respective worlds, and although from different camps, their mentalities were largely the same—Sequence Number 1 represents invincibility!

However, unlike Arthas, who died young and whose power was permanently fixed at Level 6, Lin Sai was different. He fully matured, absorbing the essence of the entire world, becoming a complete version of Sequence Number 1!

He moved...

Swift as the wind, moving like thunder!

Despite only being 1.2 meters tall, Lin Sai’s movement seemed akin to a mountain toppling over, bringing a supreme aura pressing down on Wen Yu. In an instant, Wen Yu even felt a sensation of facing the collapse of the sky.

Suddenly, a brief pain flashed across his chest, and when Wen Yu reacted, there was already a fist-sized scar at the heart.

The speed was so fast that Wen Yu couldn’t respond at all...

The blood in the chest cavity kept circulating like mercury at its original rhythm. Ultra Mortal Combat had already taken effect, bringing Wen Yu a small enhancement in physical qualities, yet the healing ability of Blood and Flesh Badge had not yet worked.

Wen Yu felt a surge of Origin Energy firmly attached to his wound, constantly blocking the effects of Blood and Flesh Badge and even Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs.

Origin Energy, the supreme energy that transcends all others, was the biggest difference between Wen Yu and a Level 11 powerful expert! Luckily, Wen Yu was not without means to cope.

Darkness and Divine Light constantly intertwined at the wound, merging into Chaotic Power, quickly offsetting the damage caused by the Origin Energy, yet this process... was relatively slow.

Energy output always has a threshold, and Lin Sai’s reserve and output quantity of Origin Energy far exceeded Wen Yu’s estimation. In other words, Wen Yu needs time to completely wear down the Origin Energy at the wound.

This time may not be long, but it is sufficient for Lin Sai to launch another attack... a fierce assault like a storm!

The small body seemed like a nimble swallow, constantly fluttering in the air; he was like a beam of light, a few simple moves around Wen Yu’s body multiple times before the whistling sound echoed.

Wen Yu’s body was like a helpless sandbag, instantly beaten to a pulp by Lin Sai’s attacks with skin torn and flesh riddled with holes!

Origin Energy suppressed Wen Yu’s Blood and Flesh Badge and Photosynthetic Spirit Motifs but did not completely erase the effect of Blood and Flesh Badge—even though the healing was slow, the powerful immortality of Blood and Flesh Badge still enabled Wen Yu, even beaten like a rag doll, to retain strong vitality!

Thus, Ultra Mortal Combat finally took effect, and physical qualities began to soar.

And this was the fundamental enhancement Wen Yu needed! Just as Tang Haofei once killed the Treasure Land Protector by erasing the advantage of Origin Energy with strong foundational capabilities, although Wen Yu’s foundational physical qualities couldn’t be elevated to the vast difference Tang Haofei had with "Secret Child Number 9," Wen Yu possessed the trump card to resist Origin Energy—Chaotic Power!

Just by leveling out the physical qualities, Wen Yu would have confidence in winning this battle!

The improvement in physical qualities brought all-around changes, with the most crucial point being the increase in energy output threshold! The Chaotic Power that originally needed to be slowly worn down to counter Origin Energy, as Wen Yu’s power increased, became stronger and the speed of erasing Origin Energy accelerated! Wen Yu had an endless supply of Chaotic Power, whereas Lin Sai’s Origin Energy was water without a source, merely a consumable!

Thus, when half of Wen Yu’s body was battered into mince by Lin Sai, the situation finally shifted slightly.

The output of Chaotic Power and the intrusion of Origin Energy reached some balance, a large amount of Chaotic Power roaming in Wen Yu’s body, swiftly wearing down the Origin Energy at the wound. As the Origin Energy decreased, the injuries on Wen Yu’s body gradually healed, and the elevation in physical qualities allowed Wen Yu to slowly catch up with Lin Sai’s speed.

The entire process didn’t even exceed a second.

"A purely melee-type enemy..."

By now, Wen Yu had temporarily grasped Lin Sai’s strengths—much like Tang Haofei, specializing in close combat, but Lin Sai’s physical qualities were far superior to Tang Haofei’s, meaning Lin Sai’s strength, even without counting Origin Energy, was still far stronger than Wen Yu under normal circumstances.

But a second of passive beating allowed Wen Yu to gradually close in on this disparity.

Physical qualities enhanced by 500 times, Ultra Mortal Combat’s first stage unleashed half of its peak effects.

When Lin Sai flew over once more, the battle was no longer the one-sided crush it was just now.

The small short leg that came flying was forcibly held by Wen Yu, accompanied by the piercing sound of bones fracturing, Wen Yu’s arm broke from Lin Sai’s kick. Following the heavy kick, akin to a battle axe, it maintained its forceful trajectory, coming straight for Wen Yu’s skull.

Accompanied by the sound of a watermelon exploding, Wen Yu’s head was instantly shattered by Lin Sai, yet the injury was merely nourishment for Wen Yu’s growing power.

The dim Origin Energy at the wound was rapidly worn away by the rushing Chaotic Power, and when the Origin Energy vanished completely, such injuries bore no difference from ordinary wounds.

The skin on his body rolled, quickly replenishing the missing skull, as Wen Yu opened his mouth toward Lin Sai’s direction, a dim gray light shot out from his mouth, hitting Lin Sai’s body in an instant.

Lin Sai’s body trembled slightly, then, as if nothing had happened, charged at Wen Yu again.

No penetration defense...

500-fold enhancement did allow Wen Yu to keep up with Lin Sai’s speed, but this doesn’t signify the reversal of strong versus weak—the effect of Night Eyes counters the reaction speed gap well. However, the foundational gap still needed to be supplemented by Ultra Mortal Combat.

Another second passed by, when Wen Yu only felt his body light as a feather, the first-stage effect of Ultra Mortal Combat had been pushed to its peak.

Body mass reduced by ninety-nine percent, a 1000-fold amplification of physical qualities!

Then, the second stage commenced.

Now Wen Yu had thoroughly neutralized the suppression effect brought by Origin Energy; when Lin Sai’s attack landed on Wen Yu’s flesh again, he discovered his heavy punch connecting with Wen Yu’s body couldn’t budge Wen Yu the slightest!
