349: This is legendary!
Lin Yu not only didn't stop, but instead increased his energy output.
With his arms slightly spread, more of his original lightning power was channeled out, continuously pouring into the violent thunderstorm in the arena.
"Zzzzzzzz—!"
The range of the thunderstorm visibly expanded by a circle.
The lightning flashes became more blinding, and the hissing of the electric currents grew even sharper.
Zhao Tianyang's absorption speed was clearly starting to fall behind.
Scattered lightning began to cause minor damage on his massive body, creating small patches of charred black.
Although these wounds were instantly healed by the immense vitality within his body, this was undoubtedly a signal.
He was nearing his limit.
In the monitoring room.
Chen Jing had forgotten his earlier embarrassment, staring intently at the screen, his breathing becoming rapid.
"What is he doing? He's strengthening himself!"
"My god, with energy of this scale, he can still absorb and convert it!"
He trembled with excitement, looking at Zhong Huai as if trying to prove his judgment once again.
But Zhong Huai still ignored him.
"Oh no!" a young researcher exclaimed, "What about that Lin Yao?"
"With such a terrifying thunderstorm, she's a mage... she couldn't have been caught in it, could she?"
At these words, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
Chen Jing's heart tightened even more.
Yes!
We were so focused on watching these two monstrous beings fight that we forgot about Lin Yao, who is also Mythic Rank!
In this indiscriminate lightning storm, forget a mage—even a top-tier tank class would probably have been electrocuted to charcoal by now!
If Linzhou's only Mythic Rank seedling this year died inexplicably in the Duel Arena... that would be a huge mess!
"Quick! Switch to thermal imaging! Search for life signals!" Chen Jing urgently ordered.
However, before the technicians could act.
Zhong Huai's lazy voice sounded again.
"No need to search."
He gestured with his chin toward a corner of the screen.
"Isn't that her?"
Everyone followed his direction and looked.
In that violently raging, space-distorting lightning hell.
Blurred afterimages were darting through at an unbelievable speed and trajectory!
Their movements were incredibly fast, each flash precisely avoiding those deadly electric snakes.
Their movements were so light they seemed inhuman, leaping and dancing between the gaps of the lightning, as if the world-destroying thunderstorm were merely their stage backdrop.
What was that?
When one of the afterimages paused for a moment, everyone finally saw clearly.
It was a figure wearing black tight-fitting leather armor, holding a poisoned dagger.
It was Lin Yao!
No, it was countless Lin Yaos!
They were no longer clad in mage robes but uniformly dressed as assassins!
"This... this is impossible?!" Chen Jing was completely speechless.
Just before the thunderstorm erupted, she had switched all her mage clones to agile assassins?
What incredible reaction speed and judgment!
And how did they find safe paths in that sea of lightning?
This defied all logic!
On Wen Yan's analysis board, a new data model popped up.
"It's [Myriad Laws Comprehension]..." he explained softly, "She not only shares the skills of all classes but probably also the 'knowledge' of all classes. A lightning mage's understanding of lightning, an assassin's intuition for danger... this knowledge has fused into a battlefield insight that transcends common sense."
"What... what is she trying to do now?" someone asked tremblingly.
No one could answer that question.
Because the next second, the situation on the field underwent another earth-shattering change.
The hundreds of assassin Lin Yaos darting through the thunderstorm had completed some kind of formation maneuver.
They silently closed in from all directions toward the two men locked in place by lightning and aura at the center of the arena.
Now, it wasn't two against one, but one against two!
And that one wasn't Lin Yu, but her, Lin Yao!
The distance was rapidly closing.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Ten meters!
Now!
Hundreds of assassin Lin Yaos simultaneously raised their daggers, poised to pounce.
One of Zhao Tianyang's eight heads seemed to sense danger, turning with difficulty to try and lock onto their figures.
However, it was too late.
Just as everyone thought a fatal backstab from the shadows was about to unfold.
Another sudden change occurred!
The hundreds of agile assassins, at the last moment before reaching the two men.
Their figures changed once again.
The tight leather armor dissipated, replaced by various splendid mage robes.
The poisoned daggers in their hands also transformed into staves glowing with elemental light.
They had instantly switched back to mage form!
And the Forbidden Curse that had been chanting since the start of the battle, gathering the power of hundreds of mages.
At this moment, the chanting just ended!
Hum—!
World-destroying magical light simultaneously ignited at the tips of hundreds of staves!
Frost, flame, arcane, lightning, shadow, necromancy... all elements converged into a torrent capable of annihilating everything.
Zero distance.
Myriad Laws Unleashed!
In the monitoring room, there was dead silence.
Everyone seemed choked, staring intently at the world-destroying scene on the screen.
Hundreds of Lin Yaos, hundreds of staves, hundreds of fully chanted Forbidden Curses.
At zero distance, without reservation, poured toward the two men locked in place by aura in the arena!
Boom—!
An indescribable torrent of energy instantly erupted.
Frost froze space, flames incinerated everything, arcane light distorted reality, lightning tore through the atmosphere, and the aura of shadow and necromancy dragged everything into a decaying abyss.
The entire Duel Arena, at this moment, turned into a chaotic elemental hell.
All the screens in the monitoring room simultaneously turned into a blinding white.
Sharp alarm sounds echoed throughout the room, all instrument readings instantly maxed out, then went dark one by one, falling into black screens.
"Holy shit!"
Someone, no one knew who, let out a cry full of shock, breaking the dead silence.
"Mythic Rank... this is Mythic Rank!"
"Earlier, Zhao Tianyang's Asura Descent was already outrageous enough! This Lin Yao... her tactics, judgment, explosive power... she's not one bit inferior to him!"
"Two! Linzhou produced two monsters this year!"
Exclamations and discussions rose and fell.
Chen Jing's mouth hung open, unable to close for a long time. His mind went blank; all his earlier analyses about tactics and strength seemed utterly laughable at this moment.
In the face of absolute power, all analysis is pale.
Everyone was ecstatic about Linzhou having two Mythic Rank geniuses at once, thrilled to witness this historic moment firsthand.
Only Wen Yan quietly watched the now-unreadable screen, his expression complex.
