How Do We Play If This Boss Isn't Nerfed?

Chapter 331: Chapter 168: A Battle of Immortals, Secretly Learning Sword Control

But that wasn’t all.

The moment the Purple Crystal Rhombus formed, a wisp of liquid, like a drop of golden dew, coated its surface.

The instant that golden liquid appeared, the light throughout the Virtual Space seemed to dim slightly.

Zhang Daoxuan’s pupils contracted violently, and the assault from his twelve Flying Swords faltered for an imperceptible moment.

At the same time, in the spectator stands, the expressions on Yin Liulan and Nie Cang’s faces changed in unison!

"That’s... Flowing Gang!"

Nie Cang’s voice was laced with horrified disbelief.

Before this, the Gang Sha Lin Ye had displayed was always in a gaseous state—the standard sign of the Early Stage of the Gang Condensation Realm.

But now, the Gang Sha inside his body had actually liquefied!

Impossible!

’Didn’t he just break through to the Gang Condensation Realm?’

’How could he possibly condense his Gang Sha to the point of liquefaction, forming "Flowing Gang," in such a short time?’

’That’s a level only achievable in the Mid-stage of the Gang Condensation Realm, or even the late stage!’

Only Yin Liulan, after a brief moment of shock, seemed lost in thought.

She recalled something Lin Hanshan had mentioned in his report.

Lin Ye’s total Qi and Blood was unprecedented, more than four times that of other Martial Artists in the same realm.

So, what about after Lin Ye’s breakthrough?

It only stood to reason that the total amount of Gang Sha in his body would also far exceed that of other Martial Artists at the same level.

’But for his Primordial Gang Sha to be so abundant in the Early Stage of the Gang Condensation Realm that it could liquefy ahead of schedule... just how monstrous is he?!’

SWOOSH!

While everyone was lost in thought, back on the stage, the Purple Crystal Rhombus coated in golden Flowing Gang, driven by Lin Ye’s will, transformed into a streak of gold and purple light. With a clumsy yet unstoppable momentum, it shot toward Zhang Daoxuan.

Lin Ye’s counterattack had begun.

The golden rhombus was fast, but its trajectory was completely straight, like a thrown javelin.

For now, this straightforward attack was all Lin Ye knew how to do.

Although this attack pattern guaranteed speed, it was far too easy to predict.

With a thought, Zhang Daoxuan precisely positioned one of his lesser swords to block the rhombus’s inevitable path.

TING!

With a crisp sound, the rhombus was easily knocked aside.

Zhang Daoxuan could even feel that his opponent’s force was scattered. The Flowing Gang coating the rhombus hadn’t enhanced the attack at all.

However, Lin Ye’s counterattack didn’t stop.

A second, then a third rhombus materialized one after another, and he launched them with the same clumsy technique.

Zhang Daoxuan’s expression was grim. While maintaining his pressure on Lin Ye’s physical body, he split his focus to control his Flying Swords and block the incoming rhombuses one by one.

But gradually, he began to feel that something was wrong.

The trajectories of the rhombuses Lin Ye launched started to become bizarre.

They were no longer simple straight lines. Instead, they would travel in slight arcs or make tiny, extremely unnatural shifts in direction mid-flight.

Blocking them became more difficult.

The force transmitted from the rhombuses went from scattered at the beginning to increasingly focused and pure.

Every impact caught him off guard.

Zhang Daoxuan’s expression grew uglier and uglier, and a storm raged in his heart.

’He only observed me for less than ten minutes...’

’From complete disorder at the start to looking quite proficient now...’

’What kind of terrifying learning ability is this?’

’What kind of monstrous comprehension is this?’

Zhang Daoxuan gritted his teeth. The anger in his heart was gradually doused by a chilling sensation, replaced by a much more complex emotion.

When someone displays talent far superior to your own in the very field you pride yourself on most, doing so with an overwhelming dominance—that feeling is enough to shatter any genius’s Dao Heart.

Zhang Daoxuan felt that his Dao Heart, which he had believed to be as solid as a rock, was cracking inch by inch.

An emotion called "jealousy" was growing wildly in the depths of his heart.
