There was a saying in the demon descendants' community: "When someone shows his red eyes towards you, don't hesitate to kill him."
Blood boil was accompanied by scarlet eyes, which meant that the other side was going to stake their life. When one met a red-eyed opponent, one must not have any pity.
Another situation was when someone experienced an awakening. The blood boiling was because the ancient demon genes hidden in the body had been activated.
There were obvious differences between the two situations, such as the red skin color of Li Xianyu at this time. This was a phenomenon only accompanied by awakening. During the first awakening, the ancient demon genes would be activated, and these aggressive genes would modify the human gene sequence. One would feel like one had been reborn.
In addition, the rapid repair of trauma was the proof of awakening. The easiest method to awaken was to face death. One would be reborn after awakening. Although Li Xianyu's power was self-healing, all of the people here had awakened and faced death.
It was because everyone saw that he was awakening that thousands of spectators were shocked.
Awakening? Was it magic? In fact, everything in front of them was fake? Was it some kind of powerful illusion?
Compared with the recognition of Li Xianyu's awakening, people were more willing to believe that it was some kind of magic trick successfully confounding the world's experts.
Wasn't his ability self-healing? How could a person awaken twice? It completely subverted everyone's understanding.
If Darwin were to see this, he would pick up the coffin and cry with Newton. What a cheat code.
What was the concept of two awakenings?
For example, Li Xianyu and Li Wuxiang did a paternity test today, which proved that they were biological father and son. Tomorrow, he would take a paternity test with his adoptive father, and they would still be biological father and son.
A man had two dads, both of whom are biological. Was that possible? It was impossible for a newborn to inherit two abilities. Otherwise, there would be only one result: stillbirth.
The cause of death was the breakdown of gene sequence.
One in 100 new demon descendant babies died from a genetic breakdown.
"I hope it's fake, but look at everyone's expression…" Jie Se, who was always serious and cold, lost his cool. He leaned back and murmured, "How can it be?"
Two of the most outstanding young people in the demon descendants' community looked at each other and said in unison, "Great Deities Palace?"
In the face of such an incredible situation, probably only Li Wuxiang could explain it. Li Xianyu's magical changes definitely had something to do with his father.
"He really awakened?"
"I don't believe it. I don't believe it. How could it happen?"
"It doesn't have to be awakening, it won't be. Let's see what happens."
In the audience, the roar came and went, and the spectators talked excitedly.
Miyamoto Hideki wondered. "Awakening?"
"Yes, awakening!" Li Xianyu looked around himself, as his skin slowly restored to its normal state. The pores were rid of a layer of greasy dirt, and he felt unprecedentedly good and full of spirit. His body was growing rapidly. The benefits of the two awakenings were unimaginable. It was like two demon descendants had been merged together.
At this moment, he had a feeling of invincibility. He felt like he could easily defeat Jie Se, Miyamoto, and Dan Chenzi.
"So what, you and I still have a huge gap in skill," said Miyamoto Hideki.
Feeling its owner's intent to fight, the two sabers were buzzing and shaking. Miyamoto Hideki waved and at the same time, two parallel sword auras attacked Li Xianyu; one surged toward the throat, while the other surged toward the chest.
At the next moment, the two swords were held at the same time. It was not surprising that Slime, which made up his left hand, could resist the blade. However, what was bizarre was that Li Xianyu's right hand actually held Blood Moon. The blood in his palm flowed, but it actually held the blade.
Miyamoto Hideki tried to draw back the twin sabers. They seemed to be stuck in a pair of iron tongs. He could not pull them back even if he tried to.
"You know nothing about power," Li Xianyu said lightly.
Finis.h.i.+ng his words, he opened his mouth to spit out an air of qi. This time, it was different from the usual. The former version was intangible and had no quality. It felt like a dagger. Now, this version was like a long sword, which was tangible.
It was Li family's ancestral power: strengthening!
When the air of qi came, it was like his face had been cut. Miyamoto Hideki tilted his head and avoided it. However, more qi in the form of swords rained upon him. It was like a sword sworm.
Miyamoto Hideki did what was regarded as a taboo amongst swordsmen, which was to abandon his sword.
He rolled on the ground and avoided the sword storm. The qi in the form of swords hid the golden force field by the arena, creating a loud sound and causing the s.h.i.+eld to vibrate.
Li Xianyu's fingertips flicked, and several electric arcs from his thumbs popped out. Miyamoto Hideki skilfully avoided the place where the electric arc split, leaving shallow and dark holes.
"You can't beat me, I'm on a new level, and you're in decline in all aspects. No, even in your heyday, you may not be my match. You will not understand the benefits of double awakening."
The ground burst under his feet. Li Xianyu turned into a shadow and disappeared, and collided with Miyamoto Hideki, who had just risen from the collision, with his knee.
Miyamoto Hideki's arms crossed to resist the impact, and his arm bone broke with a crisp sound.
He staggered back and looked miserable. Li Xianyu's followed up with his next move. He rushed forward a few steps and b.u.mped him on his side.
Strengthened Metal Mountain Lean!
Bang!
He struck Miyamoto Hideki's chest, causing him to fly out like a sh.e.l.l. He smashed against the force field, causing it to break. He smashed a wall as well, and he was submerged by the debris.
The victor was decided!
The peak duel between the j.a.panese and the Chinese finally came to an end. If there were doubts about the word "peak" before, no one would dare to disagree with it now.
Li Xianyu stood proudly in the challenge arena, facing thousands of eyes and thousands of audience. At this moment, he seemed to have some of the airs of a young master.
There was silence.
Double awakening was a hard truth.
The descendant of the Li family awakened his ancestral power: strengthening!
This ability was terrifying. Young people knew little about it, but the older generation still remembered it. Twenty years ago, Li Wuxiang was the representative of this power.
Li Wuxiang's talent for practicing qi was mediocre. Li Xianyu inherited this from his father. Great-Grandma once said that. However, Li Wuxiang had talent in the aspect of power. He developed strengthening to a very high level. Great-Grandma said that he was the most amazing of all her great-grandchildren.
With the power of strengthening, Li Wuxiang reached the state of semi-Gokudo Path.
In ancient times, the Li family was a famous family in the demon descendants' community. Any ability to support a large family had its own special or strong points.
How could a person have two powers?
At this time, many people recalled that when Li Wuxiang entered the Great Deities Palace, he was rumoured to have brought something out, nicknamed something that could subvert the world.
According to Li Xianyu's double awakening, the answer was seemingly revealed.
When an individual could have two or even three abilities at the same time, wasn't that subverting the demon descendants' community?
Double awakening, on the basis of original life, carried out a second optimization. At present, Li Xianyu was the only one who knew what it felt like. Thinking about it, a person who possessed two or three powers would become very terrifying.
The people's eyes became hot and consumed with greed, and their breathing became heavy.
"How did he do it? What did Li Wuxiang get from the Great Deities Palace? Was this change limited to the individual who got the treasure, or could it change everyone?"
"I want to obtain that treasure. I want to become powerful. The feeling is so tempting and painful."
"After Demonic Priest entered the Great Deities Palace, he became extremely powerful, achieving ultimate Gokudo Path status. When Li Wuxiang entered the Great Deities Palace, he broke the iron laws of the demon descendants' community. If he had lived to this day, the name of the world's top expert would change."
"I finally know why all the families and sects wanted to kill Li Wuxiang. I can't help but want to interrogate Li Xianyu."
"Well, you must first ask Unparalleled War Spirit whether she agrees or not."
Many pairs of eyes landed on the Unparalleled War Spirit. She stood in the audience and looked at the young man.
It seemed that she noticed everyone staring at her. Great-Grandma snapped out of her trance and scanned the audience coldly. Wherever her eyes swept over, the emotions of greed or excitement or covetousness restrained themselves.
The descendant of the Li family was not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. As long as the Unparalleled War Spirit was there, she was the most solid anchor of the Li family.
No one in this world could fight against an enraged Unparalleled War Spirit.
Sakurai Yukinako keenly sensed the hostility of the audience. She looked at the Unparalleled War Spirit and realised it.
It's not just the resentment of those days that everyone formed a spirit extinguis.h.i.+ng alliance. The Unparalleled War Spirit is like a mountain suppressing all demon descendants from around the world. The sky belongs to all people only when the mountain is overturned, Sakurai Yukinako thought.
This was still the case abroad, but the Chinese demon descendants felt it the most. I don't know who joined this alliance, though.
Given Sakurai Yukinako's skill level, she did not have access to such information.
The shock of double awakening completely covered up Li Xianyu's victory over Miyamoto Hideki. Until he left the arena and returned to the audience, no one cheered and clapped. The audience either whispered or was immersed in shock.
"How do you feel?" Just as he sat down, Great-Grandma asked excitedly.
"Better than ever," Li Xianyu said happily.
His height was a few centimetres taller; his skin was like a newborn baby, delicate and white, which was further optimized on the basis of the original foundations. Also, his mental strength and physical strength, as well as qi, were boosted. He now had the level of a senior employee.
"What's the power level of your strengthening ability?" Great-Grandma asked again.
"By directly stepping over the stage of strengthening physical objects and feeding myself, I can strengthen my body and various means, including qi," Li Xianyu said excitedly. "What skill level did my father reach in those days?"
"He combined his spirit and qi, reaching a new realm."Â
"In theory, your dad reached the pinnacle of strengthening," said Great-Grandma.
"What do you mean?"
"It is to achieve a level of invincibility in the same skill level. We regard the whole senior employee level as a big 'level'. When your father entered this level, his skill could be compared to an S-level. This is called strengthening a whole level. To achieve this step, you need to unify the three aspects and strengthen them together."
When Li Xianyu was at the level of junior and middle-level employees, he could fight someone of a higher level, but when he reached the level of senior employees, there was no such thing because the gap was too large. Unless, he turned on Gluttony.
However, the strengthening ability could do this, which was equivalent to having an innate advantage.
The situation of cross-level combat usually took place when someone took advantage of the weather, the land and the people. For example, a senior employee level aquatic foreign species confronting a land-based S-level master in the water. In this case, cross-level combat could be achieved. However, if the land-based master wanted to retreat, the water creature could not prevent it.
The enhanced ability was equivalent to an innate advantage, which could be used to achieve cross-level combat. This was provided that Li Xianyu's new ability was developed to the level of his late father's.
"In theory? There's still a higher level? " Li Xianyu said.
"Well, there is a higher level."
"What level?"
Great-Grandma patted her big chest.
Li Xianyu was confused.
"There is no limit, as long as your body can take it." Great-Grandma's proud little expression converged as she sighed. "That's the biggest secret when I became the Unparalleled War Spirit. This was the reason why I was chosen."
