Previously, the battle between Xia Bai and the nine treasures seemed a bit uneventful due to the former's nonchalance.
Later, the fight between the red dress guard and Li Lin appeared impactful, but due to the level difference, the battle felt intense yet lacking in substance.
However, when Damov and Che Dongzhi took their positions, even without making a move, everyone in the monitoring room felt a jolt of energy.
This was a showdown between experts.
Damov alone, just by using his bloodline, exhibited an incredibly powerful aura. This bloodline, which transformed him into a mutated life form, represented one of the fiercest combat factors.
Moreover, he was an eight-star evolver, the highest level attainable by humans on this planet. For anyone who had reached or was about to reach this evolutionary level, understanding such a person's combat was invaluable.
On Che Dongzhi's side, although he was merely a seven-star evolver and did not display anything particularly astonishing himself, the six subordinates he commanded, along with their weapons, made people wary. The seventh-level netherworld golden python, in particular, presented itself as formidable right from the start, its eerie aura palpable even through the light barrier.
This clash of top-tier experts was highly anticipated.
"Damov's bloodline is the king bear transformation, and it's now at the intermediate level. This is an explosive bloodline with a very short cooldown, essentially usable once a day," said a person from a Central Asian lab who had extensive contact with Damov. He had previously met this Russian muscular man by the Caspian Sea and spent some time together. This time, they had come to distant East Asia together. Although they couldn't be called friends, their interactions were amicable.
Everyone, including the personnel from this person's lab, listened to his evaluation of the Russian giant's strength.
"The frightening part is that the intermediate king bear transformation not only has a short cooldown but lasts over an hour. That duration is enough for him to secure victory in a battle."
With the progression of the apocalypse, evolvers' understanding of professions, skills, and bloodlines had matured compared to the early days. They now had a basic understanding of bloodline types and recognized the two main branches: sustained and explosive bloodlines.
According to their knowledge, the duration of explosive bloodlines varied, but typically, the more powerful the explosion, the shorter the duration. Conversely, weaker explosions tended to last longer.
If what this person said about the king bear transformation bloodline being exceptionally strong was true, the duration should not be long—by normal estimates, ten to twenty minutes would be the limit. Yet, the information they received indicated an hour...
"You'll see for yourselves; this bloodline, combined with Damov's own abilities, makes his power beyond imagination. I have personally witnessed him defeat an eighth-level mutated life form in a one-on-one battle."
Alamos's expression changed slightly, realizing why this guy had previously spoken so arrogantly to him; he indeed had a strong backing.
"Does anyone know about Che Dongzhi's situation?" Alamos asked.
As he spoke, the scenario on the light barrier changed. The first to launch an attack was not Damov, who had the advantage in evolution level and aura, but rather Che Dongzhi, who remained still except for the golden giant python at his side.
To be precise, it was the six peculiar subordinates who had taken their positions.
They brandished their Chinese long swords, stepping in different directions, and a black-and-white eight trigrams pattern appeared beneath their feet.
This astonishing scene had those outside the light barrier staring intently.
"It's actually the book of amplification for teams."
Wen Yan squinted, his tone tinged with envy. Indeed, the book of amplification for teams was extremely precious wherever it was found; even the superpower Pavilion of Quality, ranked in the national district, had failed to obtain even one.
