Now, they had become extremely treacherous, extremely cunning!

At times, they struck silently like phantoms from his blind spots.

At others, they transformed into a raging gale, launching a frontal assault!

The pressure on Lin Ye’s defense instantly multiplied several times over!

Lin Ye felt an unprecedentedly strong fluctuation of Spiritual Power coming from Ye Qingxuan.

Lin Ye understood instantly.

Without a doubt, the eighteen Profound Bird Feathers had previously been controlled by some high-precision support program, or perhaps a combat AI.

But now!

Ye Qingxuan herself was the one in control!

Using invisible magnetic lines, she was personally directing the attack of every single Profound Bird Feather with her formidable Spiritual Power!

And that wasn’t all!

Lin Ye saw another nine Profound Bird Feathers rise into the air behind Ye Qingxuan, transforming into nine purple streams of death and joining the siege against him!

Twenty-seven Profound Bird Feathers!

They were no longer fighting individually. Under the command of Ye Qingxuan’s Spiritual Power, they had become a single, unified entity.

A Celestial Net of Heaven and Earth, woven from countless blades!

The sound of them slicing through the air was as dense as rain drumming on banana leaves, merging into a continuous roar!

The entire battlefield seemed to be enveloped in a miniature purple storm of death!

Lin Ye watched his health bar plummet at an astonishing rate.

Even if each graze only dealt ten or twenty-some points of damage.

But when the frequency of attacks reached a certain limit, a change in quantity was enough to cause a change in quality!

What’s more, he was currently poisoned.

The stacking poison damage was draining his health every second, and the amount had already reached a terrifying figure.

However...

Lin Ye’s gaze remained as calm as the abyss.

To be honest, all of this was within his calculations. In fact, he had deliberately allowed it to happen.

Lin Ye’s ultimate goal was to test just how high his combat capabilities could reach after entering the P2 phase.

He needed an opponent powerful enough to push him into a desperate situation.

Ye Qingxuan fit the bill perfectly.

Besides, he could activate his Crystalization ability at any time he wished.

The moment he activated this skill, crystals would cover his entire body, and these deadly hidden weapons would be completely unable to break through his defense.

In reality, he was already in an invincible position.

He just chose not to act on it.

The Crystalization ability originated from the Celestial Abyss Race.

In an era where humanity and the Celestial Abyss Race were irreconcilable enemies, Lin Ye wasn’t sure if rashly revealing such an ability would bring him immense trouble.

What Lin Ye didn’t know was that his opponent Ye Qingxuan’s Acquired Martial Arts Spirituality, the Illusion Butterfly Pupil, also had its roots in the Celestial Abyss Race.

Learning the enemy’s strengths to defeat them has never been a shameful thing.

The Great Xia Martial Arts Alliance’s attitude toward such matters was far more open-minded than Lin Ye imagined.

His health plummeted.

Finally, it was completely depleted.

[P2 Phase Activated!]

A system notification sounded.

Lin Ye had officially entered the P2 phase.

On the other side of the battlefield, Ye Qingxuan keenly sensed something was wrong.

An extremely dangerous feeling, born from combat intuition, instantly flooded her mind.

Just a moment ago,

her intuition told her that the opponent before her was already "dead."

The feeling was incredibly real, as if the system had already displayed the victory screen and she had won the battle.

But...

the battle wasn’t over.

Her opponent was still standing there.

The next moment, Ye Qingxuan felt her heart skip a beat.

She sensed that something unimaginable had awakened within her opponent.

An indescribably terrifying aura slowly began to rise.

’I feel like I’ve provoked a slumbering, primordial beast.’

Lin Ye didn’t say a single word.

He cherished every opportunity to trigger his P2 phase in actual combat.

This was the first time he had ever truly activated P2 in a real fight.

[Frenzy LV2]!

Without any hesitation, Lin Ye directly sacrificed over three thousand of the ten thousand Life Value points from his P2 phase!

In exchange for a 60% boost to All Attributes!

At the same time, Lin Ye was pleasantly surprised to discover something.

After the phase change, a hidden mechanic he hadn’t anticipated had been triggered.

Lin Ye felt the three negative status effects that had been plaguing him—slowing his reaction time, weakening his strength and speed, and constantly draining his health—were all gone!

The system’s debuff bar confirmed it!

Switching phases cleared all negative statuses!

Simultaneously, under the buff from Frenzy, his All Attributes skyrocketed once more!

On top of that, after fighting for over ten minutes in the P1 phase, he had completely adapted to the low-gravity environment of the moon’s surface!

The person he was now was completely different from the person he was just a dozen minutes ago!

BOOM!!!

A deep, thunderous boom!

The lunar surface beneath Lin Ye’s feet caved in from the ferocious force, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions!

His figure left a dark afterimage in its place before vanishing in an instant!

Ye Qingxuan’s pupils contracted to pinpricks in an instant!

The look of effortless, strategic confidence on her face,

the pride and self-assurance befitting a top-tier genius, vanished without a trace in that moment!

In its place was unprecedented shock and horror!

CLANG!!!

Almost at the same instant Lin Ye disappeared, a deafening shriek of metal exploded from behind Ye Qingxuan!

An irresistible, terrifying force slammed into her back!

Her entire body was sent flying forward uncontrollably, as if struck by an invisible sledgehammer!

And that was only because, in the nick of time, more than a dozen Profound Bird Feathers, pushed to their absolute limit by her Spiritual Power, had—
