Chapter 186

The Ultimate of Talent, also known as the Ultimate of Brilliance or Absolute Prediction, is one of the three great gates of the No-Self Realm.

By utilizing rapid brain activity, activating the brain's operation, and relying on existing data to simulate the progress of the match in an instant, one can analyze where one can score the fastest, make an absolute prediction, and predict the number of balls required for that round.

And reflected in reality, it means that while enhancing brain power, one possesses a foresight of the future that is almost like advanced Observation Haki.

At this moment, the mutated wild boar turned into a transparent model composed of countless lines in his eyes; the way the muscles exerted force, the support structure of the bones, the trajectory of blood flow, and even every movement in the next few dozen seconds were as clearly visible as a 3D projection.

"There's a bite wound on the left front leg tendon that hasn't healed, there's a fifteen-centimeter gap below the neck, and it habitually veers to the right when charging..."

"To kill you, only one blade is needed."

This information poured into his mind like flowing water; Lin Xiu didn't even need to think, his body had already made the most perfect response.

Just as the wild boar was about to collide, he tilted his body slightly, and the Tang Heng Dao in his hand drew a beautiful arc.

"Swoosh—"

Lin Xiu's blade precisely cut into that gap at the neck, slid along the muscle texture all the way, and finally slashed out cleanly from the neck.

The mutated wild boar's massive body continued to charge forward for more than ten meters by inertia before crashing to the ground, its head and body completely separated.

Lin Xiu shook the blood droplets off the blade, maintaining the state of a thousand hammers, his gaze looking indifferently at the restless herd of beasts not far away.

Those mutated creatures had already noticed the movement here and the bloody smell in the mutated wild boar's blood, and were moving toward him restlessly.

And this was also what he wanted.

When he noticed the abnormality of the spiritual energy fluctuations between heaven and earth, he had foreseen the arrival of the second spiritual energy tide; therefore, taking the initiative to come to this main road leading to Yun Chuan City was to intercept the beast tide outside the city.

Of course, there was also the reason for training.

In the days since obtaining the Tezuka Kunimitsu template, he had perfectly transformed all tennis ball skills into blade techniques; now, he was confident that he possessed strength not weaker than Stage Three.

And in the state of opening the No-Self Realm, he could erupt with power that surpassed ordinary Stage Three.

You know, although the ball skills in the Prince of Tennis world are powerful, the physical fitness of those characters is ultimately based on reality. Even if the anime performance is exaggerated, the settings are like that, and essentially it still hasn't exceeded the human limit.

And Lin Xiu, who had been tempered by spiritual power, had long since broken through the human limit; this meant that he could not only execute all the stunts brought by the Tezuka template without any worries, but also didn't need to worry about the body being unable to bear it.

If bodies within the "human" range could bear it, what could his body, which had already surpassed "human," not bear?

It was just that the compatibility wasn't enough now, and he couldn't open those more exaggerated ball skills, or even the Asura Divine Path, otherwise he would have to use this Prince of Tennis version of "Susanoo" to let this group of mutated creatures know what terror is.

What? You say Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't open the Asura Divine Path?

Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't open the Asura Divine Path, which doesn't mean he couldn't open the Asura Divine Path.

To open the Asura Divine Path, one must experience a serious defeat, integrate the will of unwillingness and persistence into the tennis spirit, hold the determination of "even if I die, I must win," and achieve it through hellish training.

Tezuka Kunimitsu wouldn't develop such an extreme mentality because of his own failure, but would calmly think about his shortcomings, make up for them, and become stronger; but he was different, he hated failure, and even more, couldn't accept his own failure.

Making up for his own shortcomings, trying his best to become stronger, these he certainly had to do; but if there was a possibility of winning, even if he died, he had to win!

He only obtained the Tezuka Kunimitsu template, not became Tezuka Kunimitsu.

While Lin Xiu was thinking, the roars of mutated creatures exploded in his ears.

"Roar."

His expression was indifferent, and in the state of the Ultimate of Talent, the picture of the future had long since clearly emerged in his mind.

His body instinctively roamed in the beast tide, every tilt of his body avoiding sharp claws and fangs just right, the cold light flashing on the Tang Heng Dao under the "Sharpness" ability, and the blade pointed at the most fragile places of the mutated creatures.

One slash, and it was the end of a life.

Blood splashed in the air, gradually soaking his clothes.

Lin Xiu didn't know how long he had been fighting, only feeling that the corpses of mutated creatures around him had piled up like a mountain; but his physical strength hadn't been consumed much.

Compared to other abilities, the Ultimate of Talent didn't consume much physical strength.

However, the bonus to strength was unimaginably powerful.

Gradually, the mutated creatures that were attacking him began to shrink back, they lowered their bodies, instinctive fear revealed in their eyes, and uneasy low roars came from their throats.

"Afraid?"

Lin Xiu noticed this, and a cold smile hooked the corner of his mouth.

In an instant, a stream of air began to rotate with him as the center.

The mutated creatures not far from him discovered in horror that their bodies were uncontrollably sliding toward the human holding the blade. They struggled desperately, their sharp claws scratching deep marks on the asphalt road, but they still couldn't resist this invisible pulling force.

The blade light flashed, and several more corpses fell.

"On the tennis court, this move is called the Tezuka Zone."

"But in the real world..."

Lin Xiu shook the blood droplets off the blade, his voice calm, he slowly raised the Tang Heng Dao, and the surrounding air currents intensified suddenly.

"You can call it 'Universal Pull'."

Yun Chuan City University Town, in an apartment.

Two young men were sitting around an induction cooker, the hot pot bubbling with heat, several empty beverage cans scattered on the table, and the ingredients in the pot were running out.

"Ding-ling—"

The phone rang suddenly.

"Hello, your takeout has arrived at the door, please open the door."

"Okay, right away."

One of the boys wearing a loose T-shirt got up to open the door, and after a while, he came back carrying a plastic bag, which contained several boxes of fresh meat rolls and vegetables.

"We prepared too little before, it's not enough to eat at all."

He muttered while unpacking.

Outside the window, the broadcast of the evacuation alarm was still playing in a loop, but none of them cared.

"I didn't expect that there are still people delivering takeout at this time."

Another boy with glasses put a plate of beef into the pot, and it was unclear what emotion was in his tone.

"Normal."

The T-shirt guy shrugged.

"There are few people running orders now, and we aren't the only ones who don't want to go to the shelter; there are still people ordering; but after the platform knew the beast tide was coming, the first thing they did was actually raise the delivery fee, which is really..."

The two looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

I don't know if it was to let the people ordering not order, or to let the people who are still running orders earn a little more.

"In the end, it's all for money."

After the T-shirt guy finished laughing, he sighed.

"Before graduating from university, I never thought that making money would be so difficult."

"Who says it isn't."

"Every night I don't want to sleep, and when I wake up, I have to go to work again, and the time that belongs to me is one day less; but I can't not sleep, I can't hold on the next day."

The glasses guy pushed his glasses and smiled bitterly.

"If you ask me, it's better to let the beast tide find us two, and wait to be resurrected in the future."

"At that time, although there will be many people, there will also be many resources; even the great power who can reverse the river of time has appeared, I don't even dare to imagine the richness of resources."

"In this new world, you must also be curious about the power of other world systems, right?"

The T-shirt guy continued, and the glasses guy nodded without refuting.

"Li Mo, you say..."

"If you obtained a Myriad Realms treasure, and after using it, although you could gain powerful strength, you would become a vampire, craving blood and fearing sunlight."

"Would you use it?"

The glasses guy asked with some hesitation after he finished speaking.

Li Mo nodded without hesitation upon hearing this:

"Of course I would use it."

"Craving blood doesn't mean it has to be human blood."

"Didn't Zhou Ming from Chao Yang City, who obtained the Ghost King Muzan constitution, say that? To him, energy like spiritual energy that can make life evolve is much more attractive than humans."

"And compared to the vast majority of humans who are still ordinary people, the spiritual energy contained in the blood of those mutated creatures that survived the survival of the fittest in nature is much more."

"Even if you crave blood, it's clear that their blood is more attractive."

The glasses guy nodded thoughtfully.

"But sunlight..."

"Sunlight is nothing."

"Don't you just come out at night and not during the day?"

"And when your strength goes up, maybe you can even overcome sunlight."

Li Mo sneered; if he could really gain strength, what could these defects count for?

"However, Zhao Mingyang, why are you asking this?"

Li Mo looked at him with some confusion.

Zhao Mingyang was silent for a moment, then suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Mo solemnly:

"You're right."

"Compared to the strength gained, this price is indeed nothing."

Li Mo was at a loss.

"Human strength has limits."

"In my short life, I have always been worried about gains and losses, only caring about what I have lost, but never thinking about what I have gained."

"Now that I have given up using it because of the defects of this Myriad Realms treasure, what about the future? Can I encounter a better Myriad Realms treasure in the future?"

"No, it's already a blessing to get one Myriad Realms treasure, how dare I hope for a second one?"

"Even if I get it, is it necessarily stronger than this one?"

A relieved smile appeared on Zhao Mingyang's face.

Li Mo was completely confused.

"What do you mean, what are you saying?"

Zhao Mingyang slowly got up, first turned on the ceiling light in the room, then carefully pulled all the curtains to ensure that not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate; then, he walked to the desk and took out an ancient stone mask and a sharp dagger from the bottom drawer.

The mask had a strange shape, like a human, and looked extremely ominous.

"Li Mo, I'm done being human!"

After he said this to Li Mo, he slammed the mask onto his face, and at the same time, the dagger flashed with cold light, cutting his palm and wiping it on the mask.

"Hum"

The Stone Mask suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and dozens of sharp bone spurs suddenly extended from the edge of the mask, piercing fiercely into Zhao Mingyang's head and brain.

Blood flowed back into the mask along the texture of the bone spurs, and the whole room was filled with this light.
