"Oh? Really? Then you can tell me!"
Lan Yue stopped what he was doing and looked at Chi Chen. He was also curious to know whether Chi Chen had figured it out or not.
"Your forbidden ability is to manipulate time, isn't it?"
Chi Chen's expression was solemn as he spoke.
"Pushing forward?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and the others all showed expressions of confusion and shock.
"oh?"
Blue Moon's eyes narrowed beneath the mask, but she didn't directly admit it.
"From the moment I made my first cut through your body, I always had a strange feeling in my heart, as if something of mine had been taken away, but I could never quite grasp what was wrong."
And your strange, invisible attacks are even more troublesome, always interrupting my train of thought at crucial moments. But just now, when my longsword slashed past yours, and yours was still able to attack me, I finally understood what that strange feeling was in that instant. It was time. When you activated the forbidden technique, the time around you would change!
The change, almost indescribable in words, would have been difficult to detect had I not activated my domain, which is one of the reasons why Gan Yuan and the others gained almost nothing previously.
Chi Chen looked into the eyes beneath Lan Yue's mask and spoke slowly and deliberately, as if trying to verify his thoughts, but Lan Yue's gaze remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Chi Chen continued:
"So it wasn't that our attack passed through your body, but rather that at the moment our attack landed on you, you messed up the timing of the attack, pushing it forward a bit and directly to where it should have landed. Since you yourself were not in that space at that time, our attack couldn't cause you any harm."
And your strike just now was the same; you directly altered the timing of its descent and delivered it right in front of me.
But your abilities must have limitations, otherwise that knife could have been used directly on me. Or perhaps, you held back?
After Chi Chen finished speaking, Lin Bai and the others gasped in astonishment. Was this forbidden ability really that heaven-defying?
Upon hearing this, Lan Yue gave Chi Chen a deep look, but spoke in a calm tone:
"That's right, my taboo is 005's Void Misalignment. However, I didn't hold back, and you were able to see through it in such a short time. You truly deserve to be someone I spotted at first glance. So, how about joining our Seven Rainbows Team after the training camp? We happen to have two more spots available."
Although almost all taboos are now recorded, the top ten taboo abilities, due to their special nature, are only briefly mentioned. Apart from a name and the date of their first appearance, there is little explanation of their abilities. Therefore, apart from a few people, most people know very little about the top ten taboo abilities.
Of course, annihilation like Lin Bai's, which is relatively easy to recognize, is a special case.
Upon hearing Lan Yue's words, Chi Chen had three question marks pop into his head.
"???"
What do you mean by someone you took a liking to at first sight?
Could Lin Bai have been right about Blue Moon? You're not really that kind of person, are you?
I dodged one Xiang Ming, and now you're here?
Chi Chen looked at Lan Yue with a strange expression.
Seeing this, Lan Yue was unaware of what Lin Bai had whispered in his ear earlier, and he was also puzzled by Chi Chen's expression.
As the captain of the Seven Rainbows Squad, I'm now inviting you to join a special squad. Even if you don't shout it out excitedly, you should at least show some excitement, right?
Why did she show such a disgusted expression instead?
You should know that even the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Dynasty would have to ask for my opinion first if he wanted to bring someone in.
Meanwhile, not only the newcomers like Lin Bai, but even the instructors were stunned. How did they start recruiting people while they were fighting?
Then they cast envious glances at Chi Chen; after all, he was part of a special team.
To some extent, the special squad represents the prestige of the entire Secret Bureau and even the Great Xia War Zone.
Countless so-called geniuses would kill to get into one of them, let alone the Seven Rainbows Squad, which is known as the rising star of the Secret Slayer and has the most potential.
Everyone looked at Chi Chen, waiting for his answer. Surely no one would refuse this.
Lin Bai was also looking at Chi Chen. Although he didn't want to be separated from Chi Chen, he would strongly support Chi Chen if he chose to join the Seven Rainbows Squad.
However, faced with Lan Yue's invitation, Chi Chen didn't think much of it. Under everyone's gaze, he shook his head and said:
"Thank you for the invitation, but I decline!"
"What?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Chi Chen refused without hesitation?
Lan Yue looked at Chi Chen with some disbelief, but when he saw that Chi Chen's expression remained unchanged, he immediately understood.
Indeed, how could someone as extraordinary as him be content to be subservient to others?
However, Lan Yue misunderstood Chi Chen's thoughts. Chi Chen simply didn't want to join. To outsiders, the special team seemed incredibly glamorous, but in Chi Chen's eyes, they were no different from the others, because everyone was doing the same thing: killing the mysterious and protecting the last piece of pure land belonging to humanity within these walls.
"Since that's the case, I won't say any more. But if you change your mind in the future, you can contact me anytime!"
Seeing this, Lan Yue did not insist. As the captain of the Seven Rainbows Squad, he naturally had his own pride. No matter how talented Chi Chen was, he could not shamelessly ask Chi Chen to join the Seven Rainbows Squad.
"Shall we continue now?"
Lan Yue looked at Chi Chen; their battle was still undecided!
Even if Chi Chen knew what his forbidden ability was, what impact would it have?
Knowing about a mistake can't prevent it.
Lan Yue sensed her dwindling spiritual power and knew she couldn't let Chi Chen drag her down any longer.
At this moment, Lan Yue, wielding a long sword, actually took the initiative to launch an attack.
Chi Chen's pupils contracted, and he immediately held his long sword horizontally in front of him, because Lan Yue, who had just been in front of him, appeared in front of him almost without warning, holding a long sword.
With a flash of light, Lan Yue slashed down without any mercy. Since the other party had discovered her ability, she would just unleash her full power. Chi Chen's previous performance was enough for her to use her strongest combat power under the rules.
Chi Chen blocked with his longsword, but the next second, Lan Yue's longsword crossed with Chi Chen's again, instantly appearing behind Chi Chen and slashing out with killing intent.
"!!!"
A sense of crisis welled up in Chi Chen's heart, and his expression changed slightly. He instantly lowered his upper body, and the long sword slid past his back. Before Chi Chen could regain his balance, the long sword in Lan Yue's hand appeared in front of him again and swung up quickly from below.
Chi Chen felt a chill run down his spine. Was he going to be unable to dodge this strike?
However, how could Chi Chen, who had activated his Battle Saint Intent, possibly admit defeat? At this moment, as if possessed by the Great Sage, how could he lower his proud head?
The image of the monkey fighting against 100,000 heavenly soldiers alone that night reappeared in his mind, and Chi Chen would never forget that arrogant fighting spirit.
The monkey was not afraid of 100,000 heavenly soldiers, so how could he admit defeat now that he only had one enemy in front of him?
"boom!"
The fighting spirit of Chi Chen suddenly erupted again, and the battle intent spread out as if it were a tangible force. Chi Chen's body seemed to be radiating brilliant golden light, and a layer of battle armor phantom appeared around him.
"Gained Ability: Battle Armor, greatly increases defensive capabilities, can withstand both physical and mental attacks to a certain extent, and the Battle Armor will improve as the owner's abilities increase."
Chi Chen was slightly taken aback, because his indomitable fighting spirit had actually obtained the second divine restriction on the monkey.
Although the description of the Battle Saint Armor is only a short sentence, its effects can be said to have filled the last gap in Chi Chen's close combat ability.
Isn't this just like a monkey's steel body, impervious to swords and spears? With such strong defensive capabilities, Chi Chen can now truly say that he is invincible in close combat.
"Ping!"
At the same time, Lan Yue's longsword also struck the Battle Saint Armor on Chi Chen's body, but the sharp longsword only cut half an inch into the Battle Saint Armor before it could not move any further!
"What is this thing?"
Lan Yue was also stunned when he saw this. He had originally planned to stop at the crucial moment and make Chi Chen admit defeat, but the battle armor phantom that Chi Chen suddenly summoned had reversed the situation.
"What is that? I've never seen Chi Chen use it before!"
Xiang Ming looked at Lin Bai, who shrugged. When did Chi Chen secretly become more outstanding behind his back?
And they even created such a beautiful battle armor phantom?
"hey-hey!"
Before Lan Yue could think further, Chi Chen's long sword struck at the right moment, slashing at the smiling mask on Lan Yue's face with increased speed.
"not good!"
Seeing this, Lan Yue cried out in alarm, because her momentary lapse in concentration had given Chi Chen an opening.
Just as Lan Yue was about to use the "Mistaken Space" technique to evade Chi Chen's attack, a wave of weakness and dizziness washed over him. Yes, the spiritual power he had been suppressing at the Radiant Light realm had been completely exhausted under the influence of Chi Chen's Battle Saint Intent, making it insufficient for him to use the "Mistaken Space" technique again, unless Lan Yue used power that surpassed the Radiant Light realm.
But at this moment, regardless of whether he used power beyond the Radiant Realm or had his mask cut off by Chi Chen, according to the rules, he had lost.
Faced with the oncoming longsword, Lan Yue chose the former, unleashing her spiritual power. A wave of wind instantly rose up, and even with the support of the Battle Saint Intent and Battle Saint Armor, Chi Chen was still unable to block it at such close range and was blown away.
Lin Bai and the others felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on their hearts when they sensed the spiritual fluctuations emanating from Lan Yue. Was this Lan Yue's true realm?
And when Blue Moon released the suppression, at the foot of the mountain.
"team leader?"
Orange Star carried a cannon on his shoulder and fired another shot at Wang Hao, sending him flying.
"We won?"
Wang Hao, in the air, had his silver-white holy armor dull and lifeless, but his face was full of doubt and shock. Who had forced the Seven Rainbows Squad to lift the restrictions?
On the other side, Huang Feng looked at the twenty-odd people trapped by him and Greenwood and was also stunned. They had cleared this side, but the captain's side had a problem.
On the other side of the mountain, Zi Ye and Chi Wen also looked at the mountaintop in disbelief. Even though there were many newcomers, with the captain's strength, it wouldn't be a problem to slowly defeat them!
"oh?"
Halfway up the mountain, Cheng Hu squinted as he looked towards the summit, a result that greatly surprised him.
