Chapter 536: The Universe Owes You an Oscar
Lin Shen's body was already shimmering with the Mysterious Light Pattern of Sway Style and Folding Style, and after the activation of the Super Base Pattern, it no longer seemed as conspicuous as usual. To others, it simply appeared as if there were a few more Mysterious Light Patterns than before.
With the activation of the Super Base Pattern, the raging World's Force around him surged into Lin Shen's body like a tide.
The World's Force generated by the thunder and tornadoes around him was far greater than in normal areas. Just activating the Super Base Pattern made Lin Shen feel his Strength increasing, as the absorbed World's Force was too much to consume completely, causing some beneficial effects on his body.
Kristin's Strength was also steadily increasing, his blade's light growing stronger and stronger, and Surfing Three Fists clearly was at a disadvantage.
Feeling the surging and overwhelming World's Force almost spilling out of his body, Lin Shen threw out the Surfing Quadra-Punch without hesitation.
Boom!
The originally suppressed Fist Power actually shattered Kristin's blade light, reversing the tide and gaining the upper hand.
One punch after another, Lin Shen caused the blade light to burst apart, pressing the Fist Power back against it.
"Who the hell was saying that Lin Shen's Spatial Fist Power consumes a lot of energy?"
"I was sincerely worried for you, and you're playing me, right? Where is the huge consumption you promised, the inability to sustain after a quadra-punch? Are you an actor or what?"
"Lin, the universe owes you an acting award."
"Alright, alright, alright, should I be able to see this level of performance for free?"
"Please, Lin, put away your acting skills, can't we be a bit more genuine?"
"Your points of focus are a bit off, aren't they? It's clear Lin Shen used an Innate Skill, that's obviously an ability for Vigor Recovery!"
"War Song, Self-healing, and Vigor Recovery, these three Innate Skills of Lin are weapons on the battlefield; if he fights there, he would be an absolute war machine."
For a moment, the spectators all felt as if their affection was misplaced—whether they were worried that Lin Shen's energy would deplete too quickly or hoped that he would run out of strength, they all felt like they were momentarily swayed.
After throwing a Surfing Quadra-Punch at Hong Xin, he was so tired that he couldn't maintain his Carapace, and now after throwing so many punches, he seemed as though nothing had happened.
Lin Shen steadily pressed towards Kristin. Even though Kristin's Strength was enhancing, it was not yet strong enough to contend with one more layer of Surfing Punches.
Suddenly, in Kristin's hand, the originally black blade of his Life Base Artifact began to turn a dark golden color.
The blade light he slashed out also turned into a dark golden hue, and this blade light directly sliced through Lin Shen's Surfing Quadra-Punch Fist Power. Its momentum unrelenting, it instantly struck in front of Lin Shen. Find more chapters on empire
Lin Shen sidestepped, evading the dark golden blade light with an inconceivable posture; the blade light brushed past his body, flew into a tornado, and actually sliced a gash in it, causing a flurry of crackling noises within the tornado.
"Kristin's Base Talent is Double Life Base!" Tia recognized the clue.
"He's certainly lucky," Catherine frowned and said.
Kristin's Double Life Base Talent emerged, immediately putting Lin Shen on the defensive. Blades of dark gold, like a knife through tofu, sliced through Lin Shen's fist power.
"What a tough opponent," looking at the dark golden blades flying towards him, Lin Shen could only increase the layers of his Surfing Fist, directly unleashing the Surfing Quintuple Punches.
The quintuple punches, layered upon each other, took the brunt of Kristin's dark golden blades. Although at some disadvantage, the remaining power of the blades after slicing through the punches was no longer sufficient to threaten Lin Shen.
"Lin the Shadow Emperor, you really dare to perform!"
"You played dead on the quadra-punch, and now you're hammering away with quintuple punches. Where is the basic trust between people?"
"I don't know why, but I always feel like Lin the Shadow Emperor can just keep adding on."
"To be fair, Lin the Shadow Emperor's punching technique is really fierce. The more layers of fist power, the stronger the force. In theory, as long as he has enough stamina, he can keep stacking infinitely."
"Infinite stacking is impossible. Not to mention he can't possibly have infinite stamina, but even if he had infinite stamina, stacking fist power requires time. It's not as if you can keep stacking while your opponent's blade is right in front of you—the distance and time would not be sufficient. I think five punches in a row is his limit."
"It should be the limit. Kristin strikes with one sword, and Lin the Shadow Emperor has to respond with five punches. The fact that Lin the Shadow Emperor has held on until now is already quite impressive."
They weren't wrong—the Surfing Quintuple Punches indeed were his limit, not because he lacked stamina, but because that was as fast as Lin Shen could swing his fists.
When Kristin struck with his sword, Lin Shen had to unleash five punches in that instant, using the special manner of force exertion in the Surfing Fist, which didn't actually require drawing back his arm for each punch. It was more of a high-speed vibrating punch that could generate fist power with small movements. If he truly had to swing five consecutive punches, probably before he could finish the second one, Kristin's sword would have already struck his face.
The two fought from a distance, and the explosive shockwaves from the colliding fist power and blade energy disrupted the airflow around them, making nearby tornados more violent and the thunder more frequent in the heavens.
Lin Shen possessed the Super Base Pattern, and the World's Force was virtually an unlimited supply for him, whereas Kristin clearly did not have such endurance.
Although his strength continued to rise, it was clear to any discerning eye that Kristin's body was showing signs of exhaustion.
"How about that, Grandpa? The nickname 'Perpetual Motion' is well deserved, isn't it?" Seeing Kristin show signs of fatigue, Ye Yuzhen finally cracked a smile on his face.
"It isn't over until the last, the outcome is still uncertain. Don't get too excited too early, careful not to crash harder the higher you fly," Yi Jingren wasn't willing to concede and bantered with Yuzhen.
Inside the Di Man Tribe, Catherine's expression suddenly changed, "Not good, Kristin's demonic personality is about to lose control."
No sooner had Catherine spoken than Kristin, who had been unable to break through, began to emit increasingly more pink mist from his body, almost spewing out.
The next second, Kristin's originally black carapace was dyed pink, and even the Demon Sword in his hand turned pink.
Lin Shen watched the entirely pink-clad Kristin across from him with a somewhat strange expression, thinking to himself, "Could this be the legendary fierce man pink?"
Kristin in pink moved, immediately startling Lin Shen. The Demon Sword in his hand burst forth with pink sword light, and he charged over like a ghost, slicing through Lin Shen's quintuple punches as if they were paper.
Lin Shen used movement technique to dodge, but he couldn't fully avoid it. In an instant, several cuts appeared on his body.
Kristin's speed and strength increased by more than one notch, and his body twisted into moves hard for humans to fathom. The Demon Sword stabbed out from bizarre angles, leaving cut after cut on Lin Shen's body.
