After Dongshi was defeated, no guardian challenged Ya again, and time passed by. Until the last second of the countdown to the ranking battle, another guardian finally challenged Ya.
"Sure enough, it won't be so easy for half-human Ya to win the first place." Zhang Chunqiu looked at the cube and sighed.
"Even Dongshi, who possesses the power of time, has been defeated. Is there anyone among the guardians who has a stronger ability than time?" Zhang Yuzhi asked with some confusion.
Zhang Chunqiu smiled and said: "Time is indeed a very strong attribute. Theoretically speaking, time and space should be considered the top powers among various attributes. But at that level, the creation and restraint of attributes is no longer the most important thing. Now, the strength of skills is no longer an important criterion for judging combat power."
"Then how to tell who is strong and who is weak?" Zhang Yuzhi asked.
"Let's see who has stronger will, who has deeper wisdom, and who can perform better on the spot. At that point, there are only weak people, and there is no weak ability. Any ability, even one that seems weak, can only be Used properly, it may become the key to victory or defeat." Zhang Chunqiu paused and added: "Of course, this means that when the power levels are not much different, if the power difference is too great, it will be another time. It’s over. However, Ya’s strength and ability should be at the top level on our planet, and it should be impossible for an absolutely suppressive power to appear on Earth.”
"Why doesn't it appear? Didn't you say that there is a more powerful natural disaster level above the fear level?" Zhang Yuzhi still looked confused.
"The natural disaster level can naturally crush the fear level, but in a place like the earth, there are only two possibilities for the occurrence of natural disaster level. One is the arrival of a natural disaster level strongman from another dimension. However, the arrival of a natural disaster level strongman from another dimension will be affected by the rules of the earth. Without the restrictions, it is impossible to exert natural disaster-level power. If the natural disaster-level power is forcibly used, it may even be directly knocked down by the rules and fall under the myth."
Zhang Chunqiu organized his words and continued: "There is another possibility that after the guardian makes a contract with a human, he borrows a human body to be promoted to the natural disaster level. Guardians born in this era have too short a time, let alone being promoted to the natural disaster level. , there are not even a few fear-level ones to be found. So if there is a natural disaster on the earth, the only possibility is the natural disaster-level guardians who survived the previous wars."
"Like the one in our Demon Tomb?" Zhang Yuzhi asked.
Zhang Chunqiu did not answer, but continued: "But those guardians who were lucky enough to survive the war in the past were extremely powerful, but the humans who contracted with them could not live that long. After leaving humans, their power was once again affected. Suppressed by the rules of the earth, even if they have natural disaster-level power, they cannot use it on the earth unless they re-contract with humans."
"There are so many humans on the earth, it shouldn't be difficult to find a contractor, right?" Zhang Yuzhi thought for a while and said.
"It's not that easy. There should be some kind of restrictions. Otherwise, don't you think the one in our family doesn't want to come out?" Zhang Chunchunqiu smiled and said, "In short, it seems that Ya still has a good chance, as long as he can survive it." The next single-dimensional challenge is very likely to be the final winner."
"Brother, do you want Ya to win, or do you want him to lose?" Zhang Yuzhi asked, blinking.
"From my own standpoint, I hope he wins, but his chances are slim." Zhang Chunqiu answered strangely.
The one who challenged Ya was a guardian named Jiuyue. It was a very unfamiliar name. It had not appeared on the rankings before. No one knew what kind of abilities he had.
After the battle started, you immediately knew what his abilities were, because the characteristics of his abilities were so obvious.
Teleportation, constant teleportation, Ya's continuous attacks, failed to touch a corner of Jiuyue's clothes.
It's just that Jiuyue didn't mean to fight back. When Ya attacked him, he teleported to dodge. When Ya didn't attack him, he didn't move. Rather than coming to fight, it seemed more like he was coming to delay time.
Ya didn't have too many unnecessary attacks, and directly entered the state of fear, turning his body into light and shadow, but Jiuyue was also able to transform into fear. After he transformed into fear, he disappeared more easily than Ya.
It's just that Jiuyue, who is frightened, still has no intention of fighting back, and is still dodging. Now everyone can see that Jiuyue is delaying time, but they don't understand why he is delaying time.
"What does Jiuyue want to do? If he wants to consume Ya's vitality, this should not be justified. His teleport consumes much more vitality than Ya." Xia Xianyue looked at the cube screen and said thoughtfully.
Xia Liuchuan looked at the screen and frowned and said, "I have an ominous feeling that this battle for first place may not end so easily."
"Why do you say that?" Xia Xianyue asked puzzledly.
"I don't know, it's just a feeling." Xia Liuchuan shook his head slightly, but his expression was a little solemn.
Just like Xia Xianyue said, Jiuyue kept teleporting in the state of fear, and the consumption was much greater than that of Ya. If he continued to fight, Ya would definitely win in the end.
But Ya did not continue to attack. He stopped, got out of the fearful state, sat down on the fighting field, and put the ancient sword on his legs.
"Why didn't you fight?" Jiuyue also got out of his fearful state and looked at Ya and asked with some doubts.
"Don't you need time to prepare to deal with me? I'll give you time." Ya said lightly.
Jiuyue looked at Ya, his expression became a little complicated: "You know I need time to deal with you, why don't you defeat me as soon as possible? If you are fast enough, you may be able to avoid a lot of trouble."
"Trouble will always come when it comes, and I'm not afraid of trouble." Ya said.
"Don't regret it?" Jiuyue looked at Ya and asked.
"We are not born to regret, but to do what we want to do." Ya replied.
Jiuyue looked at Ya and sighed: "If I could see you earlier, maybe we could become friends."
"We will not be friends. I have stopped making friends a long time ago." Ya said.
"Why?" Jiuyue asked, looking at Ya blankly.
"Because I only have one life, and I have too many friends." Ya replied.
Jiuyue didn't say anything after hearing this, but just looked at Ya silently. After a moment, Jiuyue said: "If you take action now, if you can defeat me within a quarter of an hour, you still have a chance."
Ya had no intention of moving, and still sat there with his eyes closed to rest. Jiuyue looked at him and asked, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"No, I believe you are telling the truth." Ya said with certainty.
"Then why don't you fight?" Jiuyue asked strangely.
"Because I don't want to be your friend, I won't take away anything that belongs to you." Ya said.
Jiuyue looked at Ya with strange eyes, and after a while he spoke and wanted to say something, but his expression suddenly changed, he glanced at the void, and sighed: "It's too late now."
In the void, a beam of light descended, illuminating the entire cube fighting arena.
