Chapter 421: Chapter 65 Terrifying As Such

As Xiang Shan walked away, Babbitt was completely stunned. He hadn’t expected his friend to stir up trouble at this time.

Although Hero Noname was also a great hero... but... but...

On the other hand, Yadali nearly shouted in surprise.

He actually wanted to pull Xiang Shan back, but seeing that Ai Tielang didn’t move, he hesitated for a moment.

Brady thought even more. He couldn’t help guessing whether the Houndhawk acting in the shadows could be this mysterious "Hero Noname."

But he suppressed this doubt.

Then, everyone saw an incredible scene.

The strange hero who suddenly entered the arena used a starting pose as the core and derived many different moves from it. Each move suppressed Gaoqiao Ziyi and Kiambang, who were engaged in combat.

To these disciples, the follow-up fight seemed like some kind of joke...

The guy won every bout.

His every simulation model, every move, clearly and distinctly resolved the combat between Gaoqiao Ziyi and Kiambang as if they had been prepared as feeding moves.

This meant that no matter how Gaoqiao Ziyi and Kiambang altered their moves, they were certain to be separated by him, with no other possibilities.

This was very fake.

But the numerous disciples had to accept this absurd possibility.

Since the calculation of such combat ultimately needed to be recognized by the participants and the intermediary on the model.

That is to say, both Ai Tielang and the two combatants themselves believed that the strange hero’s moves truly had the potential to achieve such an effect.

More importantly, this kind of combat was predetermined with the model’s simulation parameters agreed upon by both sides. In other words, they had been defeated by this hero under the same exact hardware conditions.

This too... this too...

The many disciples didn’t even know what to say anymore.

And then, he inexplicably tilted his head slightly.

Following that, in the direction of his gaze, a cluster of sparks abruptly burst forth.

Xiang Shan, however, wasn’t idle. He spun around, sweeping his long staff and thus flinging the brazier that Babbitt had prepared. Forced by the sweep, the brazier flew high, tracing a bright arc and falling at the place where the sparks had just scattered.

On his second turn, Xiang Shan also threw an Iron Flower Bomb.

After that, he slung the staff over his shoulder, turning his back to where the brazier fell.

And then, behind him emerged a bright flash, like some sort of theatrical effect.

In the previous instant, the brazier landed first. The carbon fiber material, originally stacked in the shape of a bonfire, evenly coated the body surface of that guy.

Although carbon fiber burns slowly, it was indeed releasing temperatures over a thousand degrees.

Following it, the Iron Dust burst mid-air, creating a small metallic haze.

Then the carbon fiber flames ignited the Metal Heat Agent.

The metalic thermal agent, releasing several thousand degrees of heat, acted directly on that guy’s External Armor, while fully igniting the combustible carbon fiber.

```

"If it’s just for a moment, a thousand degrees of heat poses no threat. But with burning like this... there’s surely nothing left inside," Xiang Shan said.

"Ah... this..." Ai Tielang was dumbstruck, "this..."

Kiambang said, "Elder, did you make that startling move just now to ensure he would look this way, and then you used the technique of witnessing?"

"Correct," Xiang Shan nodded. "Nice, nice."

Xiang Shan had already detected the guy lurking in the shadows. However, he hadn’t "seen" that the guy was emitting electromagnetic signals; for their sparring, martial artists specifically chose a location with poor network signals. That guy wasn’t sending information in real-time.

Still, it was a bit difficult for Xiang Shan to take control of the guy in an instant before he sent out any signals. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn’t disappear without alarming his comrades—after all, everyone there was a cybernetically enhanced person with full modification, and he couldn’t just use "going to the bathroom" as an excuse.

He had to ensure the other person’s gaze was on him before he could catch him off guard with "witnessing."

And the first step was to naturally attract everyone’s attention to himself.

"Appear Saintly Before Others" was naturally a good choice.

Gaoqiao Ziyi understood all this, but there was one thing she didn’t get: "Elder, you didn’t even look that way, how did you... how..."

"Oh, I was just bored, so I took a look at your drones’ LAN," Xiang Shan turned to look at the Chaotic Blade Sect disciples, "The optimization is so-so, but the security is too poor. I spent a few minutes writing a patch for you guys, it’s in the drone’s storage disk. Remember to install it yourself. I wrote comments too, so you can learn from them."

"Ah... ah?" The disciple nodded in bewilderment.

Xiang Shan did indeed utilize these drones to take a look around. The Hound-Hiding Technique of that sneaking Houndhawk was actually quite good, and the junkyard was primarily composed of man-made trash, akin to the style of cybernetically enhanced people. The disciples hadn’t noticed it. But Xiang Shan’s inner strength was stronger, his brain more powerful, and he was more sensitive to graphical changes.

So he caught sight of the imposter.

To ensure he didn’t kill the wrong person, Xiang Shan deliberately employed the "curse" given to him by Zero when he "witnessed."

It was a special vulnerability that only government firewalls had. Martial artists would choose sect firewalls and even write some patches with a personal style to complement their inner strength. A curse targeting government firewall vulnerabilities would not harm martial artists.

Then came that burst of electric sparks.

After Xiang Shan gained control over the guy, he directly overloaded him into a short circuit by opening all the cooling vents.

Only then did Ai Tielang belatedly point at Xiang Shan with a trembling finger.

A regular Martial Artist would be wary of "witnessing" when approaching an enemy. But that Houndhawk looked towards Xiang Shan completely unprepared. The reason for this miscalculation wasn’t hard to guess: He had underestimated his opponent’s level.

He witnessed Xiang Shan suppressing two heroes with his external strength and categorized him at the same level as the Flash Speed Sect and Chaotic Blade Sect heroes. He figured, if a hero’s external strength was so impressive, perhaps they couldn’t be proficient in inner strength.

But Xiang Shan was clearly not like that.

His external strength skills surpassed those of Gaoqiao Ziyi and Kiambang. It wasn’t just "a little" but rather a world of difference.

And his inner strength...

The display during that instant just now...

"This..." Ai Tielang said absently: "Was that... a Mobile Cavalry?"

"Probably not a tail that you, Old Ai, brought with you. You guys fought for a while before sneaking over. It might just be a patrol guard," Xiang Shan said. "Let’s go have a look, and we’ll know."

His figure flitted unpredictably, taking a leisurely stroll to the gradually dying fire, then he swung his stick as if it were a sword, making a slashing motion.

The external armor, deteriorated by the high temperature, was directly sliced open.
