Fran's response was merely a stopgap measure. In fact, in the face of the sudden attack from the spirit of the demon lord, Beijing was indeed caught off guard.
However, it remains true that Area Three could not be destroyed; the little scheme of the spirit of the demon lord only caused some minor inconveniences to the Layered Battlefield. While that was not insignificant, it certainly did not affect the overall situation. After issuing the command, Fran refocused his attention back on the sequence ranking battle. Yet, when he glanced at the live broadcast from the Exchange Stone Pillar beside him, he found that the original arena had been dismantled, and Wen Yu and Tang Haofei had already vanished without a trace. In their place was a battle between Sequence Ninety-Eight and Sequence Eighty-Three.
He then looked at the current sequence rankings.
Wen Yu, Sequence One—these five large characters flashed before his eyes.
The outcome was as expected.
But the process, Fran could not have guessed at all...
In fact, the fighting process between the two was so unexpected that not even Tang Haofei nor the sovereign could have anticipated it!
…
Time rewound to just moments before.
Wen Yu and Tang Haofei naturally did not know about the breach in Area Three; they just exchanged glances until Old Tang used his ultimate trump card!
Mysterious powers spread from Tang Haofei's body, and soon, a massive scale phantom appeared above them.
The power balance had been activated, bearing a resemblance to the soul balance.
"Be careful..."
Old Tang kindly reminded Wen Yu, and then he saw a smile slowly emerge on Wen Yu's face.
"This kind of skill is not meant to be used like that."
"And, I'm sorry..."
As soon as those words were spoken, Tang Haofei's expression changed dramatically!
…
State-based skills can indeed be voluntarily canceled according to the host's wishes...
For example, real and illusory, the conversion between reality and illusion.
And according to Wen Yu's research on the soul balance, it was discovered that there was indeed a certain degree of latency when the soul balance was activated.
In other words, from the moment the soul balance started until it pulled the two individuals who were about to be balanced onto the scale, this process allowed them a brief reaction time—albeit an extremely tiny one.
So small that Wen Yu could only do two things!
Activate the photosynthetic spirit pattern—instantly healing all his injuries while completely negating the amplifying effects brought by the super destiny fight…
His power began to decline, while beside Tang Haofei, the mysterious power from the power balance had already surged to its peak!
After that, Wen Yu canceled the enhancement effects brought by the dreams come true skill system...
With just two simple actions—or rather, two thoughts—after the effects of the power balance had taken effect, this speed was almost imperceptible. However, thanks to his mastery over the soul balance, Wen Yu still completed what he intended to achieve before the power balance fully took effect.
A torrent of strength immediately wrapped around both Tang Haofei and Wen Yu, neatly pulling them to either end of the scale. An overwhelming force firmly sealed them in place; they could only wait like piglets for the judgment of the power balance!
At this moment, however, the feelings of both individuals were completely opposite...
Tang Haofei looked pale as he stared at Wen Yu, while Wen Yu gently shook his head in response.
"I'm sorry, this is just a tactic; don’t blame me..."
The voice entered Tang Haofei's mind, and Old Tang opened his mouth but was utterly powerless to say anything else.
"You knew all along, didn't you?"
"You mean the power balance skill? That's right, I’ve known about it for a long time..."
Victor's eye of the night can detect the strength level of target units and detailed skill information (the greater the physical difference between both parties, the more detailed the information obtained). This skill was one that Wen Yu had rarely used—because his opponents were typically those for whom the eye of the night would not activate, such as Lord of the Jiang Family or Aoga.
