No one present knew how Li Ze managed to kill a Void Beast with a single strike. The ordinary broadsword and the slender young man easily broke through the defenses that the mecha had tried so hard to breach!
Previously, on the battlefield between Gu Yu and Xia Zhi, they simply attributed it to the mechs' superior strength and sharpness. Seeing him pilot the mech, slicing heads off one by one, they could convince themselves of this. But now, with the boy right before their eyes, how could they deceive themselves—
This is something the human body simply cannot do, right?
Right!
Li Ze knew he would be suspected, but he had no choice.
He had to use magic to construct such a massive protective shield, and also to fight using magic. The drain on his magic was far greater than what the baleful energy absorbed during battle could compensate for.
Compared to using a mech, covering the entire mech with magic is naturally less magic-intensive and faster, as it allows the physical body to directly participate in combat without relying on the mech.
Of course, if weapons of mass destruction were used, mechs would have the upper hand. However, in this situation, it's impossible to use those highly destructive weapons.
The sudden appearance of a high-ranking demon clan indicated that things were not simple. However, at this moment, no one had the mind to find out the reason; the battle had already exhausted them both physically and mentally.
The army of the Greedy Wolf Star is rushing in from all directions. All they need to do is hold this place and protect the people here before the army arrives.
In the past, they certainly wouldn't have been able to protect these things, but things are different now—
Principal Zhang, Principal Meng, and the others looked at the boy fighting the Void Beast. At that moment, they were extremely glad that they had invited him to be a judge.
In addition, many night owls gathered on the StarNet, staring wide-eyed at the scene in shock.
"I should have bought a ticket to watch the match. My god, seeing the Void Beasts up close and enjoying Li Ze's battle is worth any amount of star coins."
"Upstairs, I suspect you're making sarcastic remarks. I was trembling with fear when I was there, and I was about to pee my pants."
"What are you afraid of? Li Ze never breaks his word. He said he would protect you, and he will."
"That being said, the scene is still terrifying. You're all so focused on Li Ze, why don't you look at the warriors here? If you look at them, you'll know how terrifying these Void Beasts are."
"I was horrified just looking at it, and cold sweat broke out all over my body. Those void beasts were too powerful. Their claws tore through the mechs like they were tearing a piece of cloth. The warriors were powerless to resist. Watching the warriors fight to the death, I wanted to cry. I just hoped that all the warriors would be safe."
"Have you noticed? Li Ze is incredibly observant and attentive. He can arrive at the scene almost instantly whenever a soldier is in danger, rescue them, and get them to safety."
"I was in the front row of the audience, and I've already seen him throw eleven people into the crowd. Interestingly, all of them were caught by the audience without a scratch. Now, whenever he tries to throw someone out of the audience, they spontaneously reach out, as if they're asking for a gift—"
"Haha, that vivid image is coming to mind!"
......
The audience at the scene and on the StarNet were having a good time, but Li Ze was under increasing pressure. His magic power was being consumed rapidly, and his magic core was about to be empty. He could only keep absorbing evil energy and rapidly converting it within his body.
At this moment, his body was like an overloaded machine, on the verge of breaking down at any moment.
The greater the pressure, the colder Li Ze's face became. Every move he made was extremely simplified, and he never wasted a single bit of magic power.
More than half an hour passed, and Li Ze's face was drained of color, covered in cold sweat, and his hand gripping the broadsword trembled uncontrollably. At this moment, he was at his last gasp.
Fortunately, more and more soldiers are joining the battlefield.
However, with too many spectators present, the battle was too intense for the players to use powerful weapons, resulting in a stalemate with no significant change in the outcome.
Li Ze was still holding on, absorbing the battlefield's malevolent energy, and he remained the one who had killed the most Void Beasts. However, compared to the beginning, his speed was noticeably slower. Several heart-stopping moments nearly gave the audience a heart attack.
"I think Ze has run out of energy."
"With such a large output, it's normal to get tired. Don't forget, he's supporting a huge protective shield."
"Commander He and the others have been gone for so long, why haven't they returned yet?"
"Speak of the devil, and he appears; look in the sky, there's that conspicuous white mech."
"You're finally back. If you hadn't come back, your wife wouldn't have been able to take it."
"I have a guess: when Commander He left, he asked Li Ze to protect everyone present, and Li Ze went all out to protect everyone present."
“Upstairs, you’re not the only one who thinks this way. Li Ze is beautiful and kind-hearted. Even without Commander He, he would have protected everyone. But because Commander He spoke up, he became even more serious and cautious.”
"After hearing your analysis, I suddenly feel so sweet. They are such a good couple."
......
He Xingjue spotted Li Ze in the crowd at a glance and landed next to Li Ze without saying a word.
“I’ll protect you, you get into the mech first,” He Xingjue said.
Li Ze gave a barely perceptible response and released Xuan Ying.
After entering the Xuan Ying, he slumped into the driver's seat and controlled the mecha with his divine sense.
This time, he didn't take out his broadsword, but instead used artillery fire and bullets.
His magic was no longer sufficient; he could only barely maintain the operation of the protective shield.
"Use artillery fire of level four or lower," He Xingjue told him.
Li Ze did not answer. Level one to three artillery fire was still too weak. If he was confident that he could send the shells into the Void Beast's body, level four artillery fire might not be unusable.
He Xingjue, inside the mecha, said with a hint of helplessness and indulgence, "Never mind, you know what you're doing."
As it turned out, Li Ze not only knew what he was doing, but he also controlled it with extreme precision. When shooting at the eyes of the Void Beast, he used level 3 bullets and shells; while when shooting into the belly of the Void Beast, he used level 4 shells.
"Li Ze, weren't you behind the Void Beast? How come the cannonball ended up inside the Void Beast in front of you?"
"What's even more outrageous is that there were several Void Beasts and several mechs between me and Li Ze. The Void Beast in front of me had only just opened its mouth when its shell was fired into it."
"At least you guys were on a straight line, but I had to go through several turns, and I still got blown up."
"Li Ze, teach us."
......
In the public chat, everyone was amazed and asked Li Ze to teach them his skills.
Before Li Ze could speak, He Xingjue said, "You probably won't be able to learn it."
"Why?"
“He must be controlling it with his mental power. If your mental power isn’t strong enough, you can’t do this,” He Xingjue said. He couldn’t do it at the moment.
Everyone said "Oh" and then fell silent.
After a while, the Void Beasts dared not open their mouths, fearing that if they opened their mouths, the cannonballs would enter their bellies and their bodies would explode with a bang.
