Chapter 6992 The Ultimate Numerical Value
With Wu Xi's help, Zhang Ping reluctantly accepted reality. Of course, the main reason was that things had come to this point, and there was no way to refuse.
No matter how unwilling he was to admit defeat, Zhang Ping had already witnessed Zhang Yong's utter depravity before and clearly realized that the reason this guy was willing to have a proper talk with him now was because Wu Xi was here, plus there was a way out.
If Zhang Ping really dares to rebel today, then Zhang Yong, who has already silenced Zhang Ping, can easily put him back in the dark room.
To go even further, after putting Zhang Ping in the dark room, Zhang Yong played two roles, simultaneously portraying both Zhang Ping and Zhang Yong. Given Zhang Yong's familiarity with Zhang Ping, he might actually be able to have a long conversation with Wu Xi without being exposed.
Not to mention that Wu Xi himself is not a smart person, even if he were smart, considering that Wu Xi is currently asking Zhang Yong for help, he would probably use Zhang Ping as a beast of burden. After all, the combined combat power of the three can really sweep across the entire small world!
"Have you had enough fun?" Zhang Yong looked up at Helian Tuomiao, who was launching another attack at him. The combined power of the three was enough to sever Helian Tuomiao and his weapon in one strike.
However, the moment the opponent's weapon was severed, Zhang Yong realized that the opponent, who was originally a physical entity, had instantly turned into an illusion.
Then, another Helian Tuomiao came from the diagonal rear, thrusting his gun straight at Zhang Yong. Without thinking, Zhang Yong grabbed the blade and slashed down in Helian Tuomiao's direction, splitting him in two. But the feeling made Zhang Yong clearly realize that the opponent was still an illusion.
"You missed both times?" Zhang Ping's voice appeared in Zhang Yong's mind.
“There’s something wrong with the other side. I noticed this before. It feels like intentional movement, but it’s very different from intentional movement. It also feels like a phantom soldier, but it’s different from a phantom soldier.” Wu Xi told Zhang Yong his information. “In short, this guy is fast, has strong firepower, and is unpredictable. He’s very strange.”
Zhang Yong made several more moves, but found that no matter how he attacked or what type of attack mode he switched, when he hit his opponent, the opponent would turn into a phantom-like thing, but the opponent's attack was a real thing.
"Strange, neither mental attacks nor physical attacks can hit you, not even light and shadow can hit you." Zhang Yong looked at Helian Tuomiao, who had been hit by his attack, and reappeared in another location, and felt extremely strange.
In theory, if it's purely about speed, even with intention, it's impossible to dodge a light and shadow attack, because the attack speed of this thing is the speed of light, causing light that is originally intangible to become physical the moment it touches the opponent, so theoretically it is impossible to dodge.
This move was copied by Zhang Yong from Zena. Of course, Zhang Yong didn't use it well and it wasn't very sophisticated. But in terms of pure speed, it shouldn't have appeared the moment it hit the opponent, and the opponent dodged it. Unless the opponent wasn't a physical entity from the beginning, but if it wasn't a physical entity, it would be impossible to launch such an attack.
At the same time, almost all the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty were watching this scene. Helian Tuomiao's performance puzzled many people. Only Zhang Yong was truly abnormal, completely ignoring the opponent's attack and shattering the opponent's illusion with a casual strike. Otherwise, Zhang Yong might have already met his end.
"It's intention." Han Xin stared at Helian Tuomiao for a long time before finally giving his answer.
“But it’s very different from the intention we have now. The other party is shifting his thoughts.” Bai Qi frowned as he answered, “The current intention is to see and achieve this logic, while this guy’s intention is to leave a thought behind, and then jump to another thought when the thought collapses.”
"I don't understand the talents of this era very well, but I can generally tell that the other party relies on thoughts to jump around." Wu Qi looked at Helian Tuomiao, who was moving around Zhang Yong like a flea, and was completely bewildered.
“A very ingenious method, a very high-level way of dodging.” Sun Wu said simply. He could understand this kind of mobility, but that did not prevent him from thinking that this talent was very ingenious, or even exceptionally ingenious.
At this moment, Huangfu Song stared intently at Helian Tuomiao, as if trying to see something out of him, until Chen Xi asked a question, at which point Huangfu Song finally reacted.
"The Xiongnu really did develop it." Huangfu Song clicked his tongue twice and said with a touch of emotion, "The talent of the Illusion lineage had a clear purpose from the beginning of its development, which was to supplement the Xiongnu's lack of human resources. However, in the later period, after the Han Dynasty reversed and mastered the Illusion, this original purpose had to be shifted. At this time, a structure based on the traces of the Illusion emerged."
"The Intentional Talent was also developed based on this concept, but it didn't achieve the original goal. Of course, when it comes to talent development, if what you develop is different from what you want, it doesn't mean you've developed it wrong. After all, you might discover a gem in the process of development, and the Intentional Talent is a case in point." Huangfu Song had already realized what talent Helian Tuomiao was using. It was a terrible talent, even an unsolvable one.
"Is the talent of intention development actually based on illusions?" Chen Xi asked, somewhat puzzled. "It seems like the two are completely unrelated!"
"The 'intention' in 'intentional movement' originally refers to the intention in 'thought,' it was later developed with a greater emphasis on dynamic vision and reaction speed, achieving this effect from another perspective. Moreover, the 'intentional movement' at its peak is extremely powerful," Huangfu Song said, pointing to Bi Laoliu below who was suppressing Zhou Er with his sword.
"The initial development direction was based on the accumulation of three talents: Illusion Trace, Illusion Warrior, and Illusion Segmentation. The talent logic is that the segmented illusion is engraved into the illusion warrior, and after the illusion warrior is broken, it is forcibly dragged into another warrior with its own illusion by relying on the talent." Huangfu Song said to Helian Tuomiao with a hint of surprise.
"Then what is the significance of leaving traces of illusions?" Chen Xi frowned.
"It's probably about leaving a seed, which can be activated in a special way when necessary, turning the trace into a phantom soldier that carries the original body," Zhou Yu said with a hint of speculation.
“Yes, that was roughly the original idea. However, neither we nor the Xiongnu could realize it. Fortunately, during the research and development process, the Han Dynasty achieved this kind of mobility beyond the limits through other methods.” Huangfu Song nodded and said, “That is, the current Intent. In fact, the current Intent talent is only used as a legion talent, which is barely acceptable. But if it is to be refined, there are still several problems that are difficult to solve. This thing is not a universal talent.”
"I think I understand what Helian Tuomiao is all about now," Chen Xi said thoughtfully. The logic of this thing's movement is the same as the current intention, but it eliminates the super-speed reaction and super-strong dynamic vision. Because in essence, this thing is a fixed-point transfer. As long as the illusion it is attached to is hit, it will be dragged to the next illusion to attach to.
"In that case, the logic of this talent is completely opposite to that of a normal talent!" Guan Yu suddenly realized, and he understood the logic of this talent more clearly than Chen Xi and Zhou Yu.
"The Xiongnu were indeed qualified to contend with the Han Dynasty for four hundred years!" Han Xin also realized what the logic behind this talent was.
The significance of Illusory Traces, Illusory Soldiers, and Illusory Division is not that they are coordinates, positioning, or the reason for high-speed mobility. In the positioning of this original intentional talent, these three things are meant to restrain this ultra-high-speed mobility.
In other words, Helian Tuomiao actually entered a state of extreme speed by relying on some kind of core talent. What this talent is is not important, because there are many kinds of talents that can achieve this kind of extreme speed. As long as you find one that can be combined with illusion, that will suffice.
Even if the Han Dynasty doesn't have this kind of talent now, Han Xin could come up with a usable idea with a little thought. Similarly, it's about the same for Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song, who has the original text of the Han Dynasty's talent tree, can deduce an extreme speed talent based on illusions in no time.
After all, speed-type talents are basic talents, and they are not difficult to acquire.
After completing this step, the real challenge begins, but let's set that aside for now. As long as this speed talent can be bound by illusions, it will be virtually impossible for the opponent to hit us.
Because when the opponent enters this state, they are actually constantly maneuvering at high speed. The so-called attacks and manifestations are just entering the illusory traces left behind by themselves and being bound. When the opponent's attack hits and destroys the illusion, the opponent will naturally break free.
Considering that this thing doesn't need to worry about dynamic vision or reaction speed, it will naturally move away at an unimaginable speed when the illusion is broken.
This is also why attacks using physical beams, which are close to the speed of light, can still be dodged by the opponent—before they become physical, they are indeed at the speed of light, but after they become physical, when they tear through the illusion, they are definitely not at the speed of light, and this slight difference is enough to dodge.
Just like how Bi Laoliu was able to dodge Zena's physical light cut when Zena raised his hand, the speed of light is indeed unavoidable, but the speed of light is not at the moment of the attack.
"No wonder they said they couldn't hit him. If that's the case, how could a ghost hit him?" Chen Xi looked at Helian Tuomiao speechlessly. It turned out that the whole person was actually moving at high speed. The so-called manifestation was just being held back by illusions, allowing him to stay here briefly based on the illusions.
"Is there a way to crack this?" Chen Xi asked Huangfu Song.
“There is no solution. This is one of the very few talents that are unsolvable.” Huangfu Song said helplessly, “Because when this thing is attacked by the opponent, the body will transfer. If you don’t attack, the opponent is a physical entity. And the characteristics of illusion mean that you can destroy it no matter whether you attack it physically or with your will. So no matter how you hit it, as long as you hit it, it is an illusion. When the opponent attacks you, it is a physical entity.”
"Such a scoundrel..." Chen Xi said with a dark face.
“Normal people simply can’t use it. The prerequisites are extremely complex, the kind that even legions can’t master,” Huangfu Song said, shaking his head. “So it’s pretty terrible.”
"Can our illusions stop and bind the other side?" Han Xin asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, because the core of this talent structure is that illusions can bind this kind of intentional talent based on a certain special configuration, so it doesn't matter whose illusion it is." Huangfu Song nodded and said.
"Wouldn't that solve the problem?" Chen Xi immediately prepared to send a telepathic message to Zhang Yong, who was wielding his spear and forcing Helian Tuomiao away once again.
"It can't be solved." Han Xin stopped Chen Xi. "This thing can only be sealed with illusions when the opponent is not bound by illusions. Under normal circumstances, the opponent is bound by illusions. If you use your illusions to attack the opponent, it is meaningless if you don't break the illusion's seal. If you do break it, the opponent will already be bound by another illusion's trace."
Chen Xi was speechless upon hearing this; this was truly a pure hooligan.
"So it can only be used first when the opponent hasn't used illusions yet. It's a terrible talent structure. But it's clear that the Xiongnu people have only just perfected it and haven't simplified it to the point where it can be used by the legion. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome," Huangfu Song said with a sigh.
"Forget it, I'll pass the information to Zhang Yong and let him figure it out himself. It's all thanks to him; anyone else would probably be dead." Chen Xi sighed. To be honest, Helian Tuomiao's bizarre core talent is really deadly.
"This is really a ghost! What's going on with you?" Zhang Yong swung his gun and forced Helian Tuomiao back again. With his eyesight, he could still see that Helian Tuomiao, who had attacked with a gun earlier, was indeed a physical entity, but when he swung his gun and swept past him, the other party turned into an illusion.
“I’ve also tested the shockwave. I’m certain that he was a physical entity before you attacked him.” Wu Xi’s voice reached Zhang Yong, who was also frantically testing.
"The close-combat perception brought by the floating step confirms that his attack is definitely a physical entity." Zhang Ping made the same judgment.
"My various reconnaissance abilities have confirmed that as long as he attacks, he is a physical entity, but the moment I attack him, he becomes an illusion." Zhang Yong was also somewhat speechless. In all his years, he had never seen such a strange thing.
Helian Tuomiao looked at Zhang Yong with a solemn expression. To be honest, Zhang Yong was the most troublesome opponent he had ever encountered in all these years. Even the monsters and beasts on the other side of the world, whose raw strength was even more exaggerated, did not have intelligence and the strength they could display was far inferior to Zhang Yong's.
"How about trying the God's Declaration?" After knocking Helian Tuomiao away again, and with the other person standing a dozen steps away, looking at Zhang Yong with some kind of conflict, Zhang Yong, who was somewhat unable to bear it any longer, communicated with his two teammates.
“If I use that thing, my talent strength will drop by half. Can your Miracle Transformation withstand it?” Zhang Ping had become somewhat accustomed to the combat state by this time, and he was also very interested in Helian Tuomiao’s state, so he did not refuse Zhang Yong’s suggestion.
"It's alright. I'll channel my power into it too. I refuse to believe it. Although I don't understand what his talent is, I really don't believe that his move is invincible." Wu Xi said through gritted teeth. A mere Xiongnu chieftain is so hard to kill? What a joke!
“Helian Tuomiao, among the elites I’ve seen, you’re not the strongest, but you’re definitely the hardest to kill.” Zhang Yong sighed. To be honest, even with his current Trinity form, Zhang Yong should have been able to kill Helian Tuomiao by now, even with the Seventh Refinement. But he’s been entangled with Helian Tuomiao for so long. This Sixth Refinement is so difficult to deal with that Zhang Yong has never seen anyone else like him.
Even Li Zhe's infinitely variable sixth level was nothing to Zhang Yong! But this time, Helian Tuomiao showed Zhang Yong what it meant to be troublesome.
Helian Tuomiao stopped. He didn't want to fight Zhang Yong anymore. He couldn't do anything about the other party. The other party was so strong that he didn't seem like a veteran. He was more like a powerful general who had broken through the boundaries. So after Zhang Yong took off, Helian Tuomiao thought for a moment and prepared to retreat. But then he felt a lock that he couldn't break free from!
The destiny sealed by the master's declaration, the miraculous, guaranteed hit, the future locked by a single, idealistic mind—run? Today, this gun is destined to pierce your body!
Zhang Yong rode his two-winged nightmare unicorn into the sky. Driven by his various talents, he instantly soared into the heavens. The Great God's Declaration was best activated in the sky, otherwise its power would be insufficient. Moreover, Zhang Ping's own Heaven-Piercing Divine Spear was most suitable to be activated in the sky.
As for power, the ground-dwelling version of Zhang Ping is just a roadside figure among the seven levels, but the Zhang Ping who flies into the sky and grasps the antimony alloy spear is the strongest in terms of attack and destructive power among the seven levels. He is the only veteran among the three empires who has truly broken through three realms and is on the verge of becoming a Golden Core cultivator.
With a miraculous display of divine power, Zhang Ping manipulated fate, then picked up the antimony alloy spear. His elite talent, after being miraculously enhanced and squeezed to its extreme through individual idealism, exploded to a level that surpassed his own limits. The spear, which had slipped from his hand, fell straight down.
Zhang Yong had stopped thinking, and so had Wu Xi. No matter what kind of talent or tricks you had, with this power that could shatter a small world, just die!
Zhang Yong, the trinity, may still be some distance from breaking through the boundary in terms of defense, reaction, and basic qualities, but in terms of extreme lethality and destructive power, this thing can catch up with several top boundary breakers, led by Lu Bu. Zhang Ping's spiral spear, with the support of external force, can cause damage to three boundary breakers.
Of course, this level of destructive power requires a lot of external force and is difficult to achieve normally. But now Zhang Yong is providing the power of miracles and Wu Xi is providing the blessing of idealism. Even if we can't deliver that peak strike, we still have some hope of delivering a top-level breakthrough output!
"Die!" Zhang Yong roared and hurled his spear downwards. He no longer cared about Chen Xi's voice transmission in his ear. How dare these mere Huns disgrace Zhang Yong!
As the two-meter-long spear, as thick as an egg, was dropped from Zhang Yong's hand, Helian Tuomiao, who was observing this scene from below, only saw a small dot suddenly appear in the sky that began to expand in an instant. Above the dot, a cone-shaped cloud of mist appeared, and around the dot, fine lines resembling irregular ice cracks appeared. This was a sign that the small world could not withstand it.
Helian Tuomiao only saw this small dot and realized something was wrong, but it was too fast. By the time Helian Tuomiao realized it was an attack, it was too late to dodge. All he could do was frantically release illusionary marks to ensure that he could dodge the core area of the attack the instant he was hit. As for parrying? That was pure nonsense!
In the next instant, everything Helian Tuomiao could see was engulfed in flames. Then, the wild force seemed to drag the sky down with it, accompanied by crimson flames and a roar, and a mushroom cloud several kilometers high rose from the ground.
"Forget it, no need to say anything more." Chen Xi fell silent as he looked at the terrifying scene. Well, Helian Tuomiao was indeed unsolvable, but Zhang Yong's move was clearly even more unsolvable.
“Indeed, no need to say more.” Guan Yu nodded after a moment of silence. This power was something Zhang Xiu could only unleash with Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. This was a genuine attack of the boundary-breaking level.
If the other veterans' attacks were merely temporary and approached the level of breaking boundaries, then the antimony alloy spear that Zhang Yong threw down was a true level of breaking boundaries.
"Damn, what's going on over there?" At this moment, veterans within a radius of hundreds of kilometers could see the mushroom cloud rising from the ground. Although they could only feel the breeze because of the distance, just by looking at that thing, they knew that it was the effect of some kind of attack, so many veterans rushed over there.
After all, there are plenty of people who enjoy themselves in this little world, and plenty of spectators who are willing to die. With such a great spectacle, how could one not go and see it!
"This kind of attack?" Slavnis, who had just killed and refined another demon god, felt the increase in his strength and looked at the mushroom cloud over there. He couldn't help but have the idea of going to see it for himself. After all, the number of demon gods had decreased and the Huns had disappeared since the start of the Grand Martial Arts Tournament. To be honest, it was really necessary to find some other targets.
As the dust settled, Zhang Yong, riding his two-winged, one-horned nightmare beast, slowly landed. Looking at the huge crater, Zhang Yong's face was cold. He just wanted to see if Helian Tuomiao would die. As for running away, the will-binding area in this place hadn't been lifted yet, so why would he run away?
"Found it." Zhang Yong dismounted and strode towards a certain spot in the pit. Looking at the body that had become a charred mess, he reached out and grabbed Helian Tuomiao's will, which was almost completely annihilated. The body struggled twice in Zhang Yong's hand before disintegrating.
"Solved." Zhang Yong said dismissively. You think the mechanism is weird? Come on, let me show you the values I just filled in with Miracle Transformation!
