Mu Xun saw all of this.
He has figured out Bai Liao's abilities.
Bai Liao's shadow serves not only as a weapon in battle and a sanctuary for his hiding place, but it is also an integral part of his life.
When the White Fang's body is injured or even suffers a fatal wound, his shadow can even transform into his body to fill the gap left by his severe injuries.
But each time it's filled in, his shadow gradually gets smaller.
In the end, his shadow will completely disappear.
Bai Liao looked down at his shadow, which had shrunk to half its original size, and his face darkened.
He knew he was different from the monkey at that gene company; his cells wouldn't regenerate indefinitely.
If a shadow disappears, it has disappeared completely.
It seems the only option is a swift resolution...
"Shadow Technique - Dark Blade Shadow Strike!"
Bai Liao used a Shadow Step to quickly approach Mu Xun.
The dark shadows, as if alive, enveloped Mu Xun in an overwhelming manner!
He controlled the shadows around him, which seemed to transform into a dozen sharp, spinning knives, slashing towards Mu Xun!
Upon seeing this, Mu Xun suddenly unleashed the divine power of the God of Thunder, and a blue-green lightning bolt formed a lightning barrier around him!
boom!
Under the power of the immense lightning, Bai Liao's shadow blade was completely blocked by Mu Xun's lightning barrier.
It's impossible to get close!
Bai Liao was forced to retreat by the barrier of lightning. He looked down at the dagger in his hand, where the lightning was still faintly crackling. His wrist was trembling slightly, numb from the lightning.
"Tch..." Bai Liao cursed under his breath, failing again...
"Shadow Technique - Shadow Silk!" Bai Liao was still not convinced and controlled the shadows around him, turning them into silk-like shapes that wrapped around Mu Xun from all directions.
However, no matter which angle you look at it from, it's impossible to break through Mu Xun's lightning defense.
The lightning barrier had not a single gap; even the most elusive shadow could not penetrate it...
"It seems that Mu Xun has completely seen through Bai Liao's abilities."
In the audience, the president of Kyoto University, watching every detail of Mu Xun's performance in the match, gave this evaluation: "Bai Liao's Shadow Step allows him to move freely between shadows, so he can even emerge from the enemy's shadow in an instant to launch a sneak attack."
"This kind of sneak attack is virtually impossible to defend against, because no matter how fast you are or how well you dodge, you can never escape your own shadow."
"But the prerequisite for Bai Liao's move is that he must make his shadow touch the enemy's shadow to mark it."
The president of Shanhai University nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Mu Xun is not one to underestimate his opponent. In several close battles, he did not give Bai Liao's shadow a chance to make contact. This time, he even used Thor's power to completely isolate Bai Liao's shadow, not giving the opponent the slightest chance to mark it."
The president of Duhua University said with a complicated expression, "I originally thought that Bai Liao, as a contestant in the Extraordinary Professional Sequence 03, should at least be able to put up a fight, even if he couldn't defeat Mu Xun. I didn't expect Mu Xun to give him no chance at all... Truly worthy of being the successor of Guigu Academy..."
In the end, the match ended simply.
There were no grand battle scenes, and Mu Xun didn't give Bai Liao any chance to unleash his ultimate move.
Relying entirely on the protection of the lightning barrier, coupled with the offensive power of the Ghost Valley Sword Technique, they easily suppressed Bai Liao.
Then they gradually drove him toward death.
"The winner of the first match of the semi-finals is Mu Xun from Guigu Academy!"
The preparation area for the gene company.
The monkey sat up from the recliner, glanced at the illusionary scene in the center of the arena, and let out a long yawn.
He hesitated for a moment, then opened the system panel with some concern and sent a message to Lin Nai:
[Monkey: Are you back yet? The first match of the semifinals is over.]
Linnaeus: Don't worry, I'm back.
[Monkey: Okay.]
[Monkey: By the way, your opponent this round is our company's White Beast.]
Linnaeus: Understood.
The monkey closed the system panel and lazily yawned a few more times.
The white beast's voice then came: "I never thought you'd wake up on your own without anyone calling you."
"Hmm?" The monkey turned his head groggily. The white beast sat next to him, arms crossed, its eyes not even looking at him. But the monkey knew perfectly well that the white beast could only be talking to him.
“What’s so strange about that?” The monkey still looked listless, as if it could fall asleep at any moment. “I’m not a person who likes to sleep. It’s just the inertia of my G cells.”
"..." The white beast didn't say anything more to him. He stood up expressionlessly, took off his coat, and revealed his strong, bear-like body. He was obviously preparing to go into the game.
Just then, the monkey suddenly called out to him, "Hey, White Beast."
The white beast stopped and turned around to look at him strangely: "Hmm?"
"You probably don't have much affection for gene companies, right?" the monkey asked.
The white beast coldly replied, "Nonsense, do you have one?"
"Hehe..." The monkey grinned. "Of course not... We joined the company with our own purposes. I wanted to survive, and you wanted to get the drug to save your sister... To be honest, we've been pretty lucky. At least we survived all the drug experiments and became true genetically evolved humans. Although we're being used by the company, at least we're still alive, unlike those failed experimental subjects, hehe..."
The white beast glanced at him: "Why are you talking so much nonsense today? You're usually too lazy to even talk."
“Actually, what I wanted to say was,” the monkey glanced at him, “that if you want to save people, you might not only have to rely on the company.”
The white beast raised an eyebrow slightly: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing." The monkey yawned sleepily again. "It's your turn to go on stage. Go and compete."
