Lan Jue was surrounded by a pale white aura. It gave him an air of elasticity. Even when the Fiendgod Vajra punches struck him, they slid away and didn't do any real damage.
This ability didn't belong to Lan Jue, but to Zhou Qianlin's Queen of Heaven Transformation.
It was the most selfless Discipline in the world, but it wasn't particularly good for defense. It was good for strengthening the body from the inside out, and when combined with Lan Jue's Taiji, it was perfect.
Far off in the distance, Epochrion's wall of rainbow light shuddered every time the Fiendcrafter Fiendcrafter Fiendcrafter struck.
She couldn't do anything about it. This was the Great Conclave's arena, and most of the spectators were Northerners. If she didn't defend herself, any one of the punches would destroy the arena.
In the waiting area, the other spectating participants had already stood up. The scene on the stage had also affected their hearts.
Who would have thought that Hercules would be so powerful when he went all out? But what was even more shocking was Zeus's power.
He'd been hiding his true strength, and only now did he unleash it all against Titan.
He was at the pinnacle of ninth level, and possessed a legendary martial art. Against Titan, he wasn't afraid, and was using Taiji to its fullest.
The Pharmacist couldn't help but admire him. What a display of strength. He was on the verge of mastering Taiji as well.
On the VIP platform, the Terminator's eyes grew more and more serious. He understood Titan's condition better than anyone else.
Although Titan had evolved into an artificial Paragon, his power wasn't stable. He wouldn't be able to sustain it for long.
It was similar to Qi Mu's Bloodwolf, the Wolf King.
Lan Jue's Taiji, on the other hand, borrowed strength.
It was as if she'd learned the essence of Jueti.
Just then.
Suddenly.
In the arena, Lan Jue's hands shot out to meet Titan's punch head-on. This time, however, he wasn't able to dissipate the force of the blow. Instead, he spun around, and the gold and silver light swirled around him like a ribbon of light.
The powerful strength of the Vajra Subduing Devil Fist actually followed his spin and changed direction. Lan Jue's arms suddenly shook and his left hand drew a half arc.
Directing the force in the right direction, he abruptly punched out with his right fist. The gold and silver light around his body shot out like a geyser, enveloping the force of the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist as it headed straight for Hercules.
Borrowing force to transform force was another level higher, borrowing force to fight force!
Under the constant pressure of the Titan God, Lan Jue's [Tai Chi Divine Skill] finally reached a new level, reaching a whole new realm.
Clang!
The power of the Vajra Subduing Devil Fist and the Tai Chi Nine Hammers smashed onto the Golden Bell Canopy. Even with Hercules's strength, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. The surface of the Golden Bell Canopy shone brightly.
Hercules was slightly stunned.
He clasped his hands together in disbelief and smashed them at Lan Jue with all his might.
Lan Jue's body, however, was like a spinning top as he spun violently on the spot.
As he spun, he was like a whirlpool, completely absorbing Hercules's all-out attack. Immediately after, the gold and silver light around his body turned back into black and white. However, the black light emitted a low rumble of thunder, while the white light was as gentle as water.
In the center was the power of the Titan God's Vajra Subduing Devil Fist.
This …
Suddenly, Lan Jue moved. Everything seemed to merge into a single point in that instant, turning into a blinding light that suddenly collided with Hercules's Golden Bell Canopy.
"Boom!"
That loud sound was like the sky was falling and the earth was sinking. The entire competition stage instantly collapsed, sinking dozens of meters into the ground. The rainbow light shield around it was like it had been hit by a huge wave, and if the Spacetime Dominator hadn't arrived in time with her even more powerful strength, she might have been blown away.
Hercules, along with his Golden Bell Canopy, was sent flying as if he had been hit by a warship head-on.
While in the air, the Golden Bell Canopy, which had such a strong defense, actually exploded with a series of cracking sounds.
Bang!
Hercules, who had been bounced back, slammed hard onto the ground.
His body, which had grown to ten meters in size, quickly shrank and returned to its original form.
The powerful aura on his body was also greatly weakened.
Lan Jue appeared where Hercules had been standing when he released his Golden Bell Canopy. She let out a cry and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her body swayed, but she still managed to stand firm in the end.
In the distance, Hercules struggled to get up.
However, his arm, which was usually filled with terrifying strength, seemed to be unable to support the weight of his body at this moment.
He tried three times, but all his efforts were in vain. In the end, he still collapsed on the competition stage and fell unconscious.
There was no electronic voice to determine the winner.
That was because the entire competition stage had been completely destroyed in their previous battle.
Lan Jue looked up at the sky, at the Space-Time Dominus in the air. His golden lightning armor was also disintegrating into tiny arcs of electricity.
"Zeus wins," the Space-Time Dominus said calmly.
Lan Jue's face, hidden beneath the mask, revealed a faint smile. He staggered back a step and fell on his butt.
It was also at this moment that the golden mask on his face quietly dissipated into golden powder, revealing his true appearance.
Planet Skyfire, National Eastern University, Special Training Class.
"Hey, Instructor, you're so handsome!"
"Why does he look so familiar …"
Tan Lingyun stared at the screen, dumbfounded. The organizers had now focused on Lan Jue, who had revealed his true face.
He looked younger than everyone had imagined, and much more handsome.
But why was it this face? Why did it look so familiar?
No, that's impossible.
That's impossible.
How could it be him?
How could it be him?
The first time he'd seen him, he'd stood outside his class. He'd been taken for a lecher and dragged to the office like a dead dog.
He hadn't resisted.
Taihua. Back then, on Taihua.
That blue mecha … it was him!
It was him!
Yes!
That was the only explanation. That blue mecha was Thor, Zeus's Thor.
He was the one who saved me and brought me to the ship.
He was also the one who saved so many of the people on Taihua.
The exchange at Hailing College. Just as they were about to lose, it was him again. He turned into Lei Feng and saved them.
She was sitting on his lap in that most ordinary mecha, witnessing his miraculous maneuvers with her own eyes.
But it was during that time that he'd beaten him up.
No wonder he wore the golden mask. He was afraid I'd recognize him.
It only took him three months to greatly improve the strength of the special training class.
He was the one who'd taken the initiative to attack the asteroid belt on a long-distance flight, piloting the transport ship to escape.
I should've known. He was always there at the most critical moments. Lan Jue, the etiquette teacher, the one I'd called trash.
He was Zeus.
The King of Gods, Zeus, once the King of Mercenaries, the one who'd defeated the Northern Alliance's strongest fighter, Titan. Zeus!
He … he … he!
Tan Lingyun slumped in his chair, dazed. It was as if he'd lost his soul.
Tang Mi was just as stunned.
She'd had her suspicions, but she never would've guessed that Zeus had been by her side all this time.
She'd kidnapped Qian Lin, and then came to the school, all for Qian Lin.
No wonder every time Qian Lin mentioned him, Qian Lin's expression would change.
No wonder every time she'd seen him with Qian Lin, they'd seemed so harmonious.
He was Zeus. So he was!
Northern Alliance, Planet Luo, Luo City, Major League Stadium.
The tournament had to be temporarily suspended. The damage to the arena was so severe that the self-repair system couldn't be repaired. It would take a lot of manual labor to get it back to normal.
After an emergency meeting, the organizers announced to the audience that tickets for today's matches would still be valid the next day. The rest of the round robin matches would be postponed to give the organizers time to repair the arena.
Titan had to be carried out. Lan Jue staggered out, supported by the Pharmacist.
His face was pale, but his black eyes were bright and full of life.
Victory. In the end, he'd won.
Human strength had triumphed over mechanical strength.
I did it. I did it.
As soon as they were out of the arena, Lan Jue fainted in the Pharmacist's arms. Titan had been too strong, and she'd used too much energy.
The audience, of course, had no complaints. They'd personally witnessed such a reversal of fortune. To them, it was all too wonderful.
Zeus's name, and Lan Jue's exposed face, spread like wildfire throughout the human world.
The Eastern Alliance was in an uproar. Skyfire Avenue was in an uproar.
The National Eastern University was in an even greater uproar.
Searching for a name might result in many repetitions, but searching for a face was almost impossible.
The only way to replicate it was with the most advanced surgery.
National Eastern University. Wu Chun-yi's communicator was exploding with calls when he heard the news.
Most were inquiring about Lan Jue's condition. Others wanted to sign up their children.
Wu Chun-yi asked for permission from the dean, Xu Renjian. Then he turned off his communicator.
He'd really picked up a treasure!
Wu Chun-yi was grinning from ear to ear.
It was almost foreseeable that National Eastern University would soon become the hottest university in the Eastern Alliance.
Lir Institute and the like would have no chance of competing at all.
