Chapter 515: Chapter 228: Your End Point, My Starting Point

’A-Again...?’

’What in the world is Master doing!’

’I can’t take it... This time... This time I’m really going to die...’

Ah Qiang felt his soulfire flickering wildly, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

He gritted his teeth and roared at the void, "Just put me out of my misery!"

...

In the observation hall, everyone held their breath.

On the screen, three phantoms of the Celestial Human Realm attacked simultaneously!

A world-destroying sword light, a space-crushing Fist Gang, and a raging, rampaging thunder dragon bombarded Lin Ye squarely from three directions at the exact same moment!

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The three terrifying attacks, each capable of destroying half a city, seemed to pass through a mirror the instant they struck Lin Ye.

The next moment, the bodies of the three phantoms froze stiff.

The sword light that had been unleashed cleaved down from the phantom’s own head, splitting it in two.

The launched Fist Gang slammed into its own chest, blasting it into a shower of light particles.

The summoned thunder dragon devoured its own master, which then exploded into a wisp of blue smoke.

In the instant they attacked, the three Celestial Human Realm phantoms were instantly killed by their own strongest moves!

"..."

The entire observation hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone’s jaws dropped, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

’He really did it?!’

Facing a siege from three Celestial Human Realm experts, he remained completely unharmed and even made them die by their own attacks!

"Unbelievable... That ability is just too overpowered!"

"Holy shit... Who the hell will be able to kill him in the future? Isn’t fighting him the same as fighting yourself?"

"This isn’t a defensive ability anymore, this is a causality weapon!"

Just as the entire hall was reeling in shock from Lin Ye’s god-like ability, Yi Jiugao, who had been sitting in the main seat with a furrowed brow, suddenly seemed to figure something out and broke into a relaxed smile.

"So that’s how it is... I think I understand how he did it."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhenghong, who was beside him, also put down a file he was holding and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I’ve thought of a possibility as well."

Zhu Mingyi: "..."

He looked from one to the other, his expression starting to crack.

’So I’m the only one left in the dark?’

’What’s with the riddles, you two!’

"Spit it out!"

Zhu Mingyi was growing impatient, a hint of anger in his voice.

Seeing this, He Zhenghong chuckled. "Zhu, look at you, getting worked up again."

Yi Jiugao’s gaze swept across the screen as he slowly began to explain:

"Lin Ye’s ability seems unstoppable, but it must have enormous costs and limitations."

"Doesn’t his file say he can seize the abilities of the Celestial Abyss Race for his own use?"

"In my memory, members of the Celestial Abyss Race with abilities similar to Damage Transfer or damage reflection are extremely rare."

"But without exception, activating their abilities requires paying an unimaginable price."

As soon as Yi Jiugao finished, He Zhenghong continued.

"For example... the Curse Bone Race."

"Our military controls a small-to-medium-sized rift, codenamed the Painful Labyrinth, whose unique native race is precisely the Curse Bone Race."

"According to our years of research, the Curse Bone Race possesses the ability to activate Damage Transfer, but the price is sacrificing a large number of their own familiars."

"The more terrifying the attack they endure, the more familiars they must sacrifice."

At this point, He Zhenghong’s gaze became meaningful.

"And that rift... is located within the borders of Ninghai."

With things spelled out to this degree, Zhu Mingyi was instantly enlightened!

He connected all the clues, and a bold yet logical inference emerged in his mind.

"Are you saying that what he’s using right now is the ability of the Curse Bone Race!"

"However, he’s currently in a Virtual Illusion Realm, and the damage simulated by the system is fake. Therefore, the price he needs to pay is also fake! This doesn’t affect the familiars he has subjugated in the real world at all!"

"Is this... a system loophole?"

The more Zhu Mingyi thought about it, the brighter his eyes shone.

This was a loophole that only Lin Ye could possibly exploit!

And what’s more, from a technical standpoint, it could never be fixed!

Having figured it all out, Zhu Mingyi couldn’t help but chuckle.

His gaze toward Lin Ye on the screen was filled with unconcealed admiration.

’This kid...’

’To fight for this title, he actually thought of such an inconceivable way to test the limits of the rules!’

"Calculate his score."

Zhu Mingyi issued the final command to the adjutant behind him.

"Just as Mr. Yi said, he’s number one!"

"Yes, sir!"

The adjutant accepted the order and immediately relayed it.

The next second, on the giant screen in the observation hall, the leaderboards for the two tests changed astonishingly once again!

The name of Xiao Lingchen, who had been at the top of the list, was instantly pushed down to second place!

And Lin Ye’s name, along with the long string of question marks behind it signifying a system crash, shot straight to the top!

[Damage Resistance and Endurance Test]

[NO. 1: Lin Ye, Overall Score: ????????]

[NO. 2: Xiao Lingchen, Overall Score: 99,999,999]

At the same time, in the previous evasion test, Lin Ye’s score was also directly adjusted to 100% evasion.

Tied for first place with Xiao Lingchen!

The logic was that, according to the damage resistance test which proved him invincible, Lin Ye didn’t need to evade at all!

Naturally, his score for the evasion test was also put on par with Xiao Lingchen’s, tying for first place!

When this result was clearly displayed for all to see, the entire hall erupted once more!
