This is too hilarious!

52. Let me see~

In the arena.

Because Bai Hui was in the "simple lines" state, his situation wasn't as bad as the senior students had described.

Bai Hui was completely unaware of the potential negative impact these things might have on his inner self.

He was simply observing and trying to retaliate...

To be fair, Tian Qiyuan's attack, enhanced by that masked artifact, did indeed have a considerable range.

But this also created more gaps—if it were normal 'image quality,' Bai Hui might actually be fooled, after all, it's 'electricity'!

But if it's just simple lines... it actually looks like some kind of 'ballistics' or something.

Bai Hui's speed and reaction time were indeed not as fast as the current, but if one relied on Tian Qiyuan's starting stance to roughly predict the landing point of the opponent's attack, it would not be difficult.

How difficult is it to dodge "visible projectiles"? And what's there to be afraid of?

He used the "Secret Technique: Repeated Jumps" to continuously create afterimages and illusions. Although the number was not large, he could only create a maximum of three at a time. Any more than that would exceed Bai Hui's current ability limit.

And it's not aggressive at all.

It crumbles at the slightest touch, after all, it's just a visual residual effect created by high-frequency maneuvering within a small area.

Fortunately, Tian Qiyuan's level of expertise was not high either, so it was enough to mislead his judgment.

Bai Hui kept leaping and turning, using the smallest possible movement to weave through the gaps in the 'visible trajectory' and evade Tian Qiyuan's attacks.

If it is truly unavoidable, then use the "secret technique of repeated side-to-side jumping" to create visual persistence and mislead Tien Chi-Yuan.

Bai Hui's mastery of the Xingyi Monkey Form was almost divine!

Bai Hui thus moved closer to Tian Qiyuan, while carefully observing him... After all, he needed to observe Tian Qiyuan's starting stance to determine the landing point of his attack.

And because of this, Bai Hui gradually discovered that... Tian Qiyuan's physical strength, mental power, and other abilities seemed to have been temporarily integrated into a single power by that Nightmare Artifact.

It is presented in a similar form in its stick figure image.

Each attack consumes resources, and with each consumption, Tian Qiyuan's movements gradually become sluggish.

It's just not very obvious.

In addition, Bai Hui also discovered that even at this moment, Tian Qiyuan was still trying his best to maintain the moves and routines of "Azure Sky Force".

The bursts of lightning, depending on the precision of Tian Qiyuan's moves in the "Azure Sky Force" martial art, will exhibit varying degrees of dispersion during their propagation.

Attacks with higher precision naturally exhibit less electrical dispersion...

Bai Hui suddenly realized what was happening.

So, was one of the reasons Tian Qiyuan learned the Azure Sky Force in order to control this Nightmare Weapon?

While he was thinking, Bai Hui had already darted to Tian Qiyuan's side. His fist imprint changed, combining a monkey shape with a snake shape, which was flexible and supple. Combined with the long-tongued strange logic, it added a touch of eeriness.

"What kind of nightmare artifact is this?"

Bai Hui darted out from under Tian Qiyuan's armpit, peered over his right shoulder, almost touching the Nightmare Artifact, and asked in a low voice.

“!!!!!!”

While resisting the subtle influence of the Nightmare Artifact on his mind, Tian Qiyuan was trying his best to maintain the "Azure Sky Force".

Unexpectedly, Bai Hui, who was nearly eight meters away just a second ago, had already rushed to his side!

What was that I just typed...?

Tian Qiyuan's mechanical mask had two eyes, the right eye looking at Bai Hui, and the left eye fixed on the direction where Bai Hui had just been.

His eyes darted around frantically, and he finally realized it was an afterimage!

"Seriously, aren't you getting dizzy with all those eyeballs darting around?"

Bai Hui's voice seemed to echo in Tian Qiyuan's heart.

"What the hell kind of martial arts is that?!"

Tian Qiyuan was filled with mixed thoughts, gritted his teeth, and kept trying to turn around and face Bai Hui directly.

But each time he could only catch up with afterimages; he couldn't find the real Bai Hui anywhere!

Completely unaware that Bai Hui was right behind him, engaging in a frantic close-quarters combat!

Because it's so weak, even less forceful than a tickle, it's not easily noticed...

……

No one in the stands was speaking anymore.

Even the senior students were dumbfounded, staring at the white light on Tian Qiyuan's back in the arena below, which was moving quietly behind him like a possessed ghost, replicating all of Tian Qiyuan's movements one by one.

Bai Hui not only simply replicated the original, but also interspersed it with a large number of small-scale, high-frequency attacks!

It landed all over Tian Qiyuan's body, but Tian Qiyuan seemed completely unaware of it!

"This...this...can this really be done?!"

"What kind of martial art is that? How can it completely replicate the opponent's moves?"

"I've heard of a kind of Lesser Formless Skill, one level of which is called 'All Forms Without Self'... It seems to be able to completely replicate the opponent's moves?"

"The Lesser Formless Skill? Isn't that a martial art used for disguise and voice imitation scams?!"

"Then I wouldn't know..."

"So this is how you deal with Nightmare Artifacts... It doesn't seem that difficult! If Junior Brother Bai Hui just keeps dragging this out, won't he be able to win?"

"That guy who broke the rules seems to have expended a lot of energy."

……

Wu Peng stared blankly at the scene, never expecting that the situation would turn out like this in the short time it took him to make a phone call.

He intended to intervene, but seeing that Bai Hui's attacks, though swift, were not lethal and the situation seemed somewhat stalemated, he temporarily stopped and contacted the school leaders.

"Feed? Feed? Xiao Wu, how's that student? Tian Qiyuan's nanny is already on her way to the school. Although his family promised to cover all medical expenses, you still need to be careful not to let the student get too badly injured!"

"If Tian Qiyuan is injured, will he be sued?" Wu Peng asked subconsciously.

"Huh?" The school leader on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about! That kid Tian Qiyuan is using a Nightmare Artifact from the 'Strange Tales Files: Mechanical Ascension' series!"

Even if he might not be able to control himself, how could anyone in the first year of high school possibly be his match!

"But it looks like he's about to suffer internal injuries..."

"What do you mean?" the school leader asked, bewildered. "Who hit him? You? Or are there students from other schools participating in this martial arts competition?"

"No, it's Bai Hui... He's about to win, and I think he's trying to condense some kind of internal energy using his 'Heart Fiend' technique and inject it into Tian Qiyuan's body to directly attack his internal organs?"

"???"

The school leaders were shocked: "Stop him! Don't let him beat Tian Qiyuan to death!"

Wu Peng: "...Principal, do you think Bai Hui is currently equipped with some kind of dream artifact? I heard that his family has a Mirror Sister, whose dream artifact, in terms of evaluation, is more inclined towards being a nightmare artifact..."

"Damn this year's freshmen! How come they're all causing so much trouble! Anyway, you need to figure out how to control the situation first, and wait for Tian Qiyuan's nanny..."

Before the principal could finish speaking, Wu Peng said, "It seems it's no longer necessary... Bai Hui has already won, Principal... He snatched Tian Qiyuan's Nightmare Weapon and slammed it on his own face..."

headmaster:"???"

……

In the arena, after many attempts, Bai Hui finally succeeded in condensing a wisp of "Heart-Protecting Qi" within Tian Qiyuan's body.

With utmost calmness, he gently squeezed the "Heart-Protecting Qi," which was originally used for CPR, and it instantly condensed into a ball, as if Tian Qiyuan's heart was being squeezed by Bai Hui's hand!

Tian Qiyuan's heart stopped instantly, and he froze on the spot. After a series of inexplicable tremors, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Bai Hui happened to reach out and embrace him.

Perhaps due to the abnormality within Tian Qiyuan's body, the nightmare artifact on his face, which Bai Hui saw as resembling 'paper cutting,' also slipped off.

And just then, Bai Hui caught it.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Hui curiously placed it on his face, intending to use it briefly to see what gave Tian Qiyuan the 'infinite attack range'...
