It was this advantage that gave Di Xin the confidence for close combat. However, when he dodged the swarm of Lego bricks flying towards him, his rapid strides halted abruptly just as he was about to reach Gu Shenghui.
Feeling his body and the ground below him firmly locked together, Di Xin, trapped in place, forcefully looked down at his stiffening neck towards his feet. It was then he discovered that the black Source Qi, which had missed his body and dissipated in the air, hadn’t completely disappeared. Instead, it had ford one Chinese character after another on the ground, with the character for "prison" at his feet trapping him.
Tricked! Cursing, Di Xin used all his strength to break free from the restraints. At this mont, the various characters scattered around seed to be summoned, turning into lines of black ink rushing towards the trapped Di Xin. As these characters climbed up his body, starting from his feet, Di Xin was soon covered in characters representing sealing, trapping, fatigue, injury, sorrow, and other forms of negative harm and seals.
For a mont, Di Xin only felt the flow of Source Qi within his body becoming sluggish. Aches, fatigue, and drowsiness, along with other sensations, surged through his consciousness like waves. If it had been an ordinary person, they might have already been overwheld and defeated. However, he was the Child of Origin, possessing the bloodthirst of the most negative emotions.
"Ugh~ Ah~! Gu Shenghui! Even Ning Quanchen couldn’t trap with his Divine Artifact. Do you think you can hold with just these words? Dream on!" Di Xin roared in anger, beginning to exert his energy outwards. The characters covering his body started to blur, until turning back into black Qi dissipating completely under the impact of his Source Qi and brute force.
Finally, when the speed of replenishing characters couldn’t keep up with Di Xin’s destruction, the chains confining him were thoroughly broken. Filled with pent-up anger and explosive power, Di Xin leaped in front of Gu Shenghui and punched the newly constructed Lego wall standing between them.
Boom! The punch, laden with rage and supernatural power, imdiately shattered the wall to pieces. Yet behind the wall was not the target he had anticipated. Di Xin looked up, finding Gu Shenghui leisurely flying upwards, snorted coldly, and stepped on the ground to leap into pursuit.
But as he just reached mid-air, he felt a sudden weight pulling him down. His body was forcibly halted in the air. Looking down, he saw that the scattered Lego bricks had sohow ford a humanoid giant, which was now gripping his ankles tightly, desperately pulling him downwards.
"Damn it!" Di Xin, uninterested in paying much attention to such obstacles, summoned a handgun into his palm and shot with a raised hand. The bullet, enhanced by his supernatural ability, made contact with the Lego bricks, causing a violent explosion. As the giant collapsed and Di Xin broke free, ready to continue his attack, he heard sinister winds from both sides. Upon returning to his senses, two more Lego-assembled giants charged at him.
With one punch, he shattered one of the figures to pieces, but his body was struck by another puppet, sending the airborne Di Xin crashing back to the ground. His body collided heavily with the platform, but without even letting out a groan, he sprang up from the ground again, rushing toward Gu Shenghui. However, by then it was too late. As he looked around, he saw towering Lego bricks forming mountains, surrounding the central area. These bricks were constantly assembling into humans, defense walls, and various weapons. In the blink of an eye, a heavily fortified ard fortress was assembled before him.
Over twenty black cannon muzzles aid at the besieged target simultaneously. A series of deafening booms followed as the cannons fired together, sparking a chain of fierce explosions in the center of the field. Thick smoke billowed, obscuring the sky.
"Wow~ This is possible! It’s a bit like Jiang Feiyang’s ability, but much more advanced!" Pei Yan exclaid upon witnessing the scene.
"I ntioned that he now harbors two types of Power of Origin within him: Assimilation and Creation. Previously, he couldn’t achieve this, but now he can. Leveraging his supernatural ability in combination with this Power of Origin, reaching such a level is a minor feat. The real exciting stuff is yet to co!"
"Creation!" Upon hearing Lin Junzhao ntion the term again, Pei Yan suddenly recalled Lin Ruxue. He was deeply impressed and envious of her ability to create a small world with just a gesture. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but ask, "Can Gu Chu also...?"
"No!" Lin Junzhao, having already anticipated Pei Yan’s thoughts, shattered his delusions with a direct answer before he could finish his question. "This creation is limited to producing items already manufactured by humans, which is why I say it’s a unique Power of Origin to our foundational plane. In this aspect, we have an advantage over other planes, whereas Lin Ruxue’s ability is the result of a higher-level Power of Origin ford by combining multiple origins, enabling a self-created world where everything can co into being and perish. Gu Shenghui is far from reaching that."
"I see!" Pei Yan replied, disinterested and disappointed, as he turned his attention back to the match.
At this mont, from a formal standpoint, Gu Shenghui seed to hold the advantage by trapping Di Xin in the arena. However, the most eye-catching and domineering figure in the entire scene was, in fact, the disadvantaged Di Xin.
Now, Di Xin was like a reincarnated Zhao Zilong, battling his way through the giants and nurous weapons created with Lego bricks. Every so often, he would change his supernatural ability, using a different attack technique. Such a versatile combat style left even those familiar with him, like Pei Yan, awestruck and speechless.
"My God! So far, he has used..." Wang Wenze, who has been closely following the match, quickly calculated and blurted out, "at least twelve different supernatural abilities that seem distinct from one another. How many abilities has his body absorbed? In terms of quantity alone, he’s already surpassed Gu Chu by twice!"
"So what if it’s twice as many? He is still trapped by just one of Gu Chu’s abilities without being able to escape. It’s not about the quantity, but the quality of abilities!" explained Ye Ruozai, stepping in to clarify since both Zheng Jia Ru and Xia Yu were on guard duty at Yirong Pavilion, leaving no other person to talk.
"But continuing like this isn’t a viable solution. Doesn’t the shift in advantage affect Gu Chu?" Jiang Feiyang nervously clutched his snacks.
"That’s true, but Gu Chu hasn’t exerted himself yet! The showdown is about to begin."
On the platform, Di Xin had the sa thought as Wang Wenze. After smashing another Lego soldier charging at him, he peered through the dense Lego gaps at Gu Shenghui in mid-air, tauntingly saying, "Do you think you can defeat with these toys for children?"
