[Besides physical strength, these supreme beings who suppress power also possess immense mental energy. Through years of combat experience, they can predict the next move of a dragon by observing the subtle changes in every scale, the flow of blood, and the expansion and contraction of muscles. This is why they can do this.]

However, if their mental strength were also reduced to the early stage of the Innate Realm, they wouldn't be able to do it!

Because the computational power required is too great, every subtle change in the body of a Yalongan, every slight deformation of its muscles and posture, has countless possibilities for its next action. These possibilities must be meticulously discerned to deduce its true next move.

[Furthermore, there are limitations to vision; eyesight has its limits. One can only see changes in the outermost scales and other features on one side of the Argonian's body, but cannot see changes in the scales from other angles, let alone the movement of its internal organs.]

As for combat experience? That's certainly important, but its importance is solely based on stats. Even Tyson, if he swapped souls with Arnold and fought him, wouldn't be a match for him, because Arnold had degenerated not only in strength but also in intelligence!

"To be precise, it should be Arnold with Tyson-level fighting skills versus Tyson with Arnold-level fighting skills. The latter will be the winner."

[Therefore, your combat awareness is indeed beyond imagination. Those overlords and supreme beings subconsciously turned their gazes to Xu Ling'er, believing that she had secretly made a move behind the scenes.]

[Xu Daolin: Actually, I was the one who would have made the real move... but I didn't this time.]

[If he hadn't known that your Holy Body was the "X Hundred Essence Body," he would have genuinely thought you achieved this through some kind of multi-perspective Holy Body, or that your Holy Body was the "Peerless Warrior Body" that enhanced combat skills.]

[Within three minutes, you landed your final blow on the Argonian's head. It was covered in wounds and teetering on the verge of collapse, giving you ample time to let your palm linger on the back of its head for over a second, unleashing a torrent of energy.]

The physical strength of the wyvern, comparable to the late-stage Innate Realm, is terrifying. Although its head is only slightly larger than a human's, the outer scales and the internal skull together form an incredibly thick defense. It can smash through steel walls with its head without feeling dizzy or lightheaded afterward!

Therefore, your palm needs to be pressed firmly against the back of its head for one second for the energy to penetrate the outer defense and reach the brain!

[In a battle at the innate level, placing your palm against the back of an opponent six times stronger for a second would normally result in being torn to shreds. However, the Argonian's reaction time is slow, and just as it tries to lunge back with its claws, your energy has already swirled into its brain...]

Mash it into a paste!

The Argonian went berserk, its whole body convulsing, emitting strange, whimpering cries, as if it were having an epileptic seizure. You kicked it away, sending it crashing into a stone pillar more than half a meter thick, its body twitching on the ground.

[It wasn't until several tens of seconds later that he was completely brain dead and became a corpse. However, his body would only appear limp and slumped there. If an ordinary person were to kick him, it might still trigger residual activity, and a slight twitch could tear that ordinary person to pieces on the spot.]

"As expected of me, a first-rate killer of innate masters." You clenched your fist, feeling quite pleased with yourself.

"Even the Fourth Hokage, who was at the same level, struggled quite a bit to defeat that Tiger King." You gently shook your head.

"However, this battle revealed some things; combining the functions of different systems is indeed quite effective," you pondered.

"For example, internal energy can penetrate into the enemy's body. Using this method to kill a target is extremely effective against enemies who are thick-skinned and lack the protection of Yuan energy and internal energy!"

"However, it has little effect on late-stage innate beings with Yuan Power or demon race beings with demonic essence. After all, the difference in strength is as high as six times, and that little bit of energy is disintegrated as soon as it enters the opponent's body."

Yun Shou added that although he had been staying in Yun Yang Realm for more than ten days, he had inherited some martial arts knowledge.

"This method is best suited for dealing with particularly tough, thick-skinned, and heavy enemies that rely solely on physical strength, such as ancient behemoths that can only run on the ground and are hundreds of meters in size."

"Their power is released purely through their limbs, so you can jump onto their backs and then use your inner strength to penetrate deep into their bodies and cause damage."

[The end of this battle, especially the part where you risked everything, betting that the Argonian wouldn't retaliate for a full second, to deliver a mind-numbing attack with your energy—that scene is definitely worthy of being recorded as a highlight in the Metaverse video!]

"Awesome, incredibly awesome!" exclaimed one of the spectators, a true powerhouse.

"This is the most amazing battle I have ever witnessed in my life!" another overlord exclaimed with joy. "To witness such a battle, even dying right now would be worthwhile!"

[Finally, a Supreme Being shook his head: "The Cloud Emperor is simply too powerful. Even if I were in that dragonman's position, I wouldn't be his match; I would be killed with a single palm strike!"]

Everyone: "..."

That's enough!

[In your moment of excitement, you fought too impulsively. By the time you realized what was happening, the Argonian had already been beaten to death, making it impossible to interrogate him for information.]

[But this is where the witch's usefulness comes in. After you foresaw the future and confirmed there was no danger, the three of them entered the depths of the cave and discovered a laboratory that had been carved out inside.]

The laboratory was well-organized, divided into several areas. Some shelves held bottles and jars containing purified blood or bone marrow, along with various sophisticated instruments.

"This is a bloodline laboratory," the knowledgeable witch said. "It's the kind of laboratory that most powerful sorcerers would build!"

"Many warlocks specialize in purifying their bloodlines in the later stages of their cultivation, so they build corresponding laboratories, and this is one of them!"

[The Three-Faced Vajra Sorcerer: "Ah, I have indeed heard of it, but I never expected it to look like this."]

"Illiterate, you're a sorcerer, yet your knowledge of the advanced aspects of your own system is inferior to that of a wizard."

"Generally, only 'True Self Warlocks' at the third realm begin to study bloodlines, barely catching up to half a wizard in terms of wisdom. But this place seems to have been built by a lower-level warlock; it's quite small," the witch said, puzzled.

She found a journal somewhere, along with oddly shaped writing instruments.

"Sure enough, after defeating the boss, exploring the map further reveals some hidden letters, including the backstory of the entire monster-hunting process." You're getting more and more into it.
