A Duel Between Biological Intelligence and Mechanical Precision!

With that, his figure vanished from the spot again, moving more than twice as fast as before. In the next instant, he appeared behind Rong Jun and chopped at the back of his neck with a hand strike.

Sensing danger, Rong Jun immediately turned to block. This time, when his arm collided with Ryan’s hand strike, a bloody gash appeared! Ryan’s hand truly was like the sharpest blade, cutting through Rong Jun’s incomparably tough skin.

"Interesting!" Rather than panicking, Rong Jun grew even more excited, the battle intent in his eyes burning fiercer. "You can finally hurt me! It’s been so long since I last bled. What a nostalgic feeling!"

Ryan ignored Rong Jun’s words and continued his assault. His figure flickered across the arena like a ghost, and every appearance left another wound on Rong Jun. Though such injuries were negligible to a giant like Rong Jun,

over time, they would eventually add up.

"You damned little bug," Rong Jun said, beginning to grow irritated. "Always hiding and dodging—do you not dare face me head-on?"

Ryan’s voice came from all directions. "This is tactics, barbarian. Using your advantages to attack your opponent’s weaknesses is the most basic principle of combat."

Rong Jun laughed in fury. "Well said! Then let me see whether your advantage can withstand my full-force blow!"

With that, he suddenly roared. The muscles across his body instantly swelled by a full size, and his skin turned an eerie red. At the same time, a visible energy field appeared around him as his domain unfolded.

Savage Rampage Art: Berserk Domain!

A powerful surge of energy erupted from Rong Jun’s body, forming a visible red energy field. It rapidly expanded until it covered the entire arena. Within this domain, the air became thick and viscous, as though invisible pressure blanketed every inch of space.

Ryan immediately felt the difference—his speed had been drastically weakened. Movements that had once been lightning-fast now became much slower, as though he were walking through water.

"What is this?" Ryan asked in surprise, feeling his body become abnormally heavy.

Rong Jun revealed a savage grin. "This is my Berserk Domain. Within this domain, all speed is greatly reduced, while strength is amplified. Now let’s see what you can do without your speed advantage."

With that, he leaped forward. His massive body lunged toward Ryan like a moving mountain. Empowered by the Berserk Domain, his strength increased even further, and every step made the arena tremble.

Ryan tried to dodge, but under the influence of the Berserk Domain, his speed was far inferior to before. He could only barely evade Rong Jun’s frontal attack, yet the wind from the punch still grazed him and sent him flying several meters.

"How does that feel, Shadow Clan brat?" Rong Jun laughed. "Now you understand the limits of speed, don’t you? Before absolute strength, all technique is futile!"

Ryan barely got back to his feet. Several cracks had appeared on his silver-gray skin, marks of internal damage from Rong Jun’s attack. He took a deep breath, and determination flashed through his eyes. "Is that so? Then let me see whether your so-called absolute strength can defeat this!"

With that, his body suddenly erupted in dazzling silver light, and he seemed to transform into a flowing galaxy. At the same time,

the space around him began to distort, forming a special field that opposed Rong Jun’s Berserk Domain.

Shadow Clan Secret Art: Shadow Superspeed!

As Ryan’s words fell, his body suddenly disappeared from where he stood, so fast that even the air could not fill the space he had left behind, creating a small vacuum.

Shadow Clan Secret Art: Shadow Superspeed!

As Ryan’s words fell, his body suddenly disappeared from where he stood, so fast that even the air could not fill the space he had left behind, creating a small vacuum.

In the next instant, he appeared before Rong Jun, his silver-gray palm like the sharpest blade as it shot straight for his opponent’s throat.

This strike was unbelievably fast. Even under the effects of the Berserk Domain, it had reached a level beyond ordinary imagination.

However, Rong Jun’s reaction was equally astonishing. Just as Ryan’s palm was about to touch his throat, his entire upper body suddenly bent backward, evading the fatal strike with unbelievable flexibility. At the same time, his right fist shot out like a cannonball,

directly toward Ryan’s chest.

Ryan sensed the danger and barely twisted aside, but Rong Jun’s fist still grazed his shoulder. Even that slight contact sent Ryan flying dozens of meters before he slammed heavily into the Energy Barrier at the edge of the arena.

"Hahaha!" Rong Jun laughed loudly, the battle intent in his eyes growing even stronger. "Not bad, kid! Your Shadow Superspeed can indeed break through my Berserk Domain to a certain extent. But it’s still far from enough!"

Ryan slid down from the Energy Barrier and barely forced himself to stand. Cracks had already appeared all over his silver-gray skin. In particular, the shoulder grazed by Rong Jun had almost completely lost its metallic luster, returning to its original translucent state.

"Your Shadow Superspeed is powerful, but it consumes tremendous energy," Rong Jun commented, his eyes gleaming with insight. "You can no longer maintain the metallic state across your entire body, can you?"

Ryan smiled faintly without denying it. "That’s true. But I still have enough energy for one final strike. Let’s see who gets the last laugh!"

With that, his body erupted in dazzling silver light again, but this time, all the light concentrated in his right arm. His right arm became even more metallic than before, radiating a terrifyingly sharp aura.

Shadow Clan Forbidden Art: Shadow Termination!

Ryan vanished again, but this time, he was faster than ever before, nearly reaching sub-light speed. Sparks flew through the air along his path, forming a visible streak of silver light.

Rong Jun sensed immense danger and immediately activated the Berserk Domain with all his strength. At the same time, his right fist became coated in a layer of eerie red energy.

Savage Rampage Ultimate Skill: World Ender Fist!

Ryan suddenly appeared before Rong Jun, his metallic right arm like the sharpest blade as it stabbed straight toward his opponent’s heart. At the same time, Rong Jun’s World Ender Fist came crashing forward with overwhelming force.

Boom—!

A deafening explosion resounded throughout the arena. A powerful energy shockwave spread in all directions, causing even the Energy Barriers around the spectator stands to ripple slightly.

When the smoke and dust cleared, everyone was shocked to discover that Rong Jun was still standing firmly in place. There was only a bone-deep wound on his chest, blood pouring from it without end. Ryan, meanwhile, had been blasted hundreds of meters away and crashed heavily onto the other end of the arena, already unconscious. His right arm had completely lost its metallic state and returned to its translucent appearance, but its surface was covered in horrific wounds, clearly inflicted by Rong Jun’s World Ender Fist.

"The match is over! Rong Jun of the Tumán Clan wins!" the referee announced, unable to conceal the shock in his voice.

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the spectator stands. This ultimate clash between strength and speed left a deep impression on everyone.

Rong Jun walked over to Ryan and crouched to examine his injuries. After confirming that Ryan was merely unconscious and in no mortal danger,

he nodded in satisfaction and said to the arriving medical staff, "Take good care of him. He is an opponent worthy of respect."

With that, he turned and left the arena, leaving behind a trail of blood that drew a shocking red line.

"He’s too strong," Luo Wen said in shock. "Rong Jun’s strength is simply unimaginable. Ryan’s Shadow Termination was such a powerful attack, yet it only left a wound on his chest."

Thor nodded. "That is the terrifying part of the Tumán Clan. Their physical strength far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine. Combined with Rong Jun’s own cultivation and combat talent, he is practically invincible."

Hong remained calm. "Everyone has weaknesses. Rong Jun is strong, but he is not invincible. He has a strong advantage against speed-based opponents, but if he encounters an opponent equally skilled in strength, or someone who uses special abilities, the result may be different."

Luo Feng fell into thought. "If I met him, how should I deal with him?"

Hong glanced at Luo Feng. "Your fighting style is versatile. You can rely on your Talent Domain for high-speed movement and attacks,

or use the Gold-Space Fusion Law for special attacks. Against Rong Jun, the key is not to let his Berserk Domain completely restrict you. Maintain your own combat rhythm."

Luo Feng nodded, committing the advice firmly to memory. As one of the most outstanding Earthlings, he longed to prove his strength in this cosmic arena.

"Speaking of Luo Feng’s match," Thor suddenly remembered something, "aren’t you about to go on soon?"

Luo Feng nodded. "Yes, my match is tomorrow. My opponent is a powerful fighter from the Mechanical Empire,

named Mechanist 8."

Luo Wen asked curiously, "The Mechanical Empire? What kind of force is that?"

Hong explained, "The Mechanical Empire is a unique civilization in the universe. They have perfectly fused their consciousnesses and bodies with machinery, creating an entirely new form of life. They possess both the thought and creativity of living beings and the precision and endurance of machines. In some fields, they have even surpassed ordinary lifeforms."

Thor added, "Especially Mechanist 8. It is said that he is a combat unit from the Mechanical Empire’s newest generation, possessing extremely strong adaptability and combat ability."

Excitement flashed through Luo Feng’s eyes. "He sounds like a challenging opponent. I look forward to fighting him."

The four continued watching the other matches that day, but none of them could compare to the spectacular duel between Rong Jun and Ryan.

After the day’s matches ended, they returned to their suite to prepare for Luo Feng’s match the next day.

"According to the information, Mechanist 8’s combat style is extremely flexible," Luo Feng said as he analyzed. "He can rapidly adjust his tactics and equipment according to his opponent’s characteristics. That is the unique advantage of Mechanical Empire warriors."

Hong nodded. "That’s right. The greatest trait of Mechanical Empire warriors is their adaptability. You need to prepare multiple responses and cannot rely on a single tactic."

Luo Wen asked curiously, "Brother Luo Feng, which fighting method are you planning to use? The Talent Domain or the Gold-Space Fusion Law?"

Luo Feng smiled faintly. "I’ll use both. My fighting style has always been flexible and varied, adjusting at any time according to the battlefield conditions. However, I’ll first use the Talent Domain to test my opponent’s strength and reactions, then decide whether to use the Gold-Space Fusion Law."

Thor patted Luo Feng on the shoulder. "Good strategy! But I heard that Mechanist 8 has a special energy absorption device capable of absorbing and converting all kinds of energy attacks. If you use your Gold-Space Fusion Law improperly, he may turn it against you."

Luo Feng nodded. "I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the warning."

The four discussed matters until late into the night before finally settling on Luo Feng’s combat strategy. Afterward, they each returned to their rooms to rest and prepare for the next day’s match.

Early the next morning, the four headed to the arena. Today was Luo Feng’s match day, so they rose earlier than usual in hopes of having enough time for final preparations.

"How do you feel, Luo Feng?" Hong asked on the way to the arena.

Luo Feng smiled faintly. "Very good. I meditated all night, and I’ve adjusted myself to my best condition."

Thor patted Luo Feng on the shoulder. "Relax, kid! Remember, this is just a match, not a fight to the death.

Just do your best. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

Luo Wen also encouraged him. "Brother Luo Feng, I believe you’ll definitely win!"

Luo Feng looked gratefully at the three of them. "With your support, I feel even more confident."

When they arrived at the arena, the match had not yet begun, but spectators were already gradually taking their seats. As one of the most outstanding Earthlings, Luo Feng had gained a certain degree of fame in the universe. Especially among viewers familiar with Earth’s history, he was practically a legend.

"Next is the seventh match of the second round," the host’s voice echoed throughout the arena. "Earthling Luo Feng versus Mechanist 8 of the Mechanical Empire! This will be a duel between biological intelligence and mechanical precision! Let us wait and see!"

As the host finished speaking, the holographic projection displayed the information of the two contestants:

Luo Feng, Earthling, master of the Talent Domain and the Gold-Space Fusion Law, hailed as one of the most talented Martial Artists in Earth’s history.

Mechanist 8, a combat unit from the Mechanical Empire’s newest generation, possesses exceptionally strong adaptability and combat ability and is equipped with the most advanced weapons systems.

Enthusiastic applause and cheers immediately rose from the spectator stands. The two contestants walked toward the arena from separate passageways, triggering another wave of cheers.

Luo Feng cut a rather handsome figure: tall and lean yet muscular, with resolute features and eyes that radiated determination and confidence.

He wore a combat uniform specially made by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, its dark blue fabric dotted with star-like decorations. He carried no obvious weapon, but that was because his most powerful weapons were his own body and his comprehension of laws.
