While the audience in the stands marveled and refreshed their assessments of Lin Yu...
Within the tornado, Lin Yu, locked in bat with Wang Yuyang, was far calmer than anyone imagined.
"Good, my evaluation of the Designer's strength was basically accurate. The power I'm showing right now is indeed evenly matched with his."
"Besides, my mental energy should be able to last a little longer than his physical stamina and this special mode."
Observing Wang Yuyang's condition through the battle armor on his opponent, Lin Yu could easily tell that the other party was now heavily exhausted.
The Inspiration Mushroom and maintaining this mecha projection seemed to be causing Wang Yuyang massive physical fatigue.
Even... it looked like overdraw.
The abnormal sweating at his temples and the slight tremors from muscle spasms both proved this point.
Although using the Prayer Water Necklace, especially such precise manipulation, consumed a considerable amount of mental energy—Lin Yu could already feel a dull ache at his own temples...
But...
After Old Zheng's special training and guidance, Lin Yu's mental energy had already advanced by leaps and bounds.
While it wasn't exaggerated due to his late start, it was definitely nothing to underestimate.
Thus, during a lull in the aerial battle, as Wang Yuyang's stamina declined and Lin Yu found it easier and easier to deal with him...
Lin Yu had the spare capacity to think again.
"Should I win this round or lose?"
Before this, Lin Yu hadn't actually known whether it would be more advantageous for Order or the Free Alliance to obtain two of the Pure Abyss's Nine Great Treasures.
Although he had gotten close to the core of both organizations, his understanding of the top-level clashes between them was still limited.
On Order's side, he was just an Assistant Team Leader, nothing more.
As for the Free Alliance... although they had acknowledged him, Lin Yu knew that until he became an official member, his understanding would still be restricted.
He didn't even know which member was preparing to break through to Fourth Tier!
But... his earlier conversation with Wang Yuyang finally gave Lin Yu enough information to make a judgment.
"If this thing goes to the Free Alliance, Order probably won't pursue it relentlessly."
"But if it falls into Order's hands... at least one very powerful Third Tier expert from the Free Alliance, someone about to open their Heart Domain, will keep harassing the custodian in Order."
Chaos was absolutely what Lin Yu wanted to see.
Especially since the Free Alliance wasn't as destructive as the Psychological Society or the Marauders.
So...
Lin Yu had made his decision.
"This round... I can win."
The next question was: how to win?
He could drag it out, exhaust Wang Yuyang's stamina until the Inspiration Mushroom mode ran out, and then take an easy victory.
But...
Who knew if this Designer had even more ridiculous trump cards hidden away?
He already had one foot through the Third Tier threshold—what if, when pushed to the brink, he pulled out something big that Lin Yu couldn't defend against?
If he wanted to win, he couldn't take risks.
Moreover...
Winning by dragging things out and playing it safe simply wouldn't be "spectacular" enough!
In Lin Yu's vision, if he chose to lose, he should lose narrowly. But if he won, he should win brilliantly.
At the very least, he wanted every spectator in the stands to remember him, to firmly etch the Movie King and Lin Yu into their memories.
Only then would he be worthy of this stage.
So...
"For the final act, I need to change the stage."
Lin Yu said this, then let out a long breath.
"Whoosh—!"
He abruptly stopped moving in midair and instead charged toward Wang Yuyang.
"What?"
Wang Yuyang was startled by this move and nearly took the initiative to create distance again.
But in a flash, Wang Yuyang chose to trust himself and continued charging toward Lin Yu.
"Boom!"
The flames spouting from his hands suddenly intensified, while Lin Yu mobilized all the rainwater around him, condensing it around his body, and slammed fiercely into Wang Yuyang.
"Splash!"
"Hiss!"
The newly formed water mass exploded on impact, then was rapidly re-evaporated by the high temperature into billowing steam.
The Seeking Enemy Dagger in Lin Yu's hand slipped through the gap in Wang Yuyang's armor, piercing a bit of his skin.
But...
it couldn't go any deeper.
A light blade materialized in Wang Yuyang's hand again—and this one actually pierced through Lin Yu's shoulder.
"Are you trying to die?"
Wang Yuyang looked at Lin Yu in confusion.
"Of course not!"
Lin Yu smiled, releasing both hands gripping the Seeking Enemy Dagger.
Then...
"Splash!"
The water behind him, re-gathered, poured down like a waterfall!
The immense force of the water sent both Lin Yu and Wang Yuyang tumbling out of the largest tornado, pressing them both to the ground like a high-pressure water cannon.
Throughout this, Lin Yu pressed down firmly on Wang Yuyang.
"Thud!"
The two crashed heavily to the ground—just as Lin Yu had calculated, Wang Yuyang, who had already expended most of his stamina, once again lost to him in strength.
Not to mention...
this time he was at a high altitude with gravity as his ally!
"Boom!"
Dust and smoke billowed up from the ground, then the sky's water pressed down like a whale swallowing the sea!
Both Lin Yu and Wang Yuyang were dazed and disoriented from the fall, but Wang Yuyang was clearly in worse shape.
The next moment, the soaking wet duo separated from the water curtain, returning to the view of all the spectators.
Blood streamed from Lin Yu's shoulder, and his right hand could no longer lift a finger.
As for Wang Yuyang, who had scrambled up from the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Trying to take me down with fall damage? Not a bad idea, but... it looks like you're hurt worse than I am!"
Wang Yuyang declared loudly. Lin Yu looked at him and smiled calmly.
"Trading injuries like this, I always e out ahead."
"The person who can heal you is off-stage, but... I can heal myself."
"Don't forget, the Class ability I mastered, the one I've always been showing, is the Doctor."
Lin Yu activated his Doctor ability, and the wound on his shoulder immediately healed by more than half.
Flesh visibly squirmed, filling the gap.
Wang Yuyang stared at Lin Yu, then readied his stance again, the dragon scales on his battle armor clicking back into place one by one.
"But you've already used it now. You won't be so lucky next time."
"e on, Director!"
The light blade ignited once more, and Wang Yuyang charged at Lin Yu again.
Lin Yu, watching Wang Yuyang rush toward him, didn't hesitate either and sprinted straight at Wang Yuyang!
