Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092
1092: Chapter 1078: Dreamy Twins 1092: Chapter 1078: Dreamy Twins As one of the Saint Sons of Lady of the Forest, the Li twins took pride in their uniqueness.
“Among all the differences, we are the most special.”
The Li twins, around ten years old, became “Church’s Prodigy,” and were new seeds bought annually by a branch of Lin Woman Power with a hefty sum.
The resources consumed by just the two of them could sustain a team, and in all aspects, they were indeed worth the price.
“Dreamy Twins” was the title they acquired in their teens, and it has lasted until now.
“Brother, you will run faster, faster, and even faster…”
Li Zhen’s ability was “Words Become Reality”…
Yes, it was like the magical brush of Ma Liang in fairy-tale mishaps or the World XX Mode in adult stories.
Of course, such an excessively fantastical Talent Ability had many constraints.
The most direct one was that he couldn’t make permanent transformations, and the closer the target of transformation was to himself, the better the effect.
The only exception was…
“…Brother, your wound is healing rapidly, and your strength is recovering quickly.”
Even from afar, Li Zhen continued to utter “lies,” producing “truth,” but more bluntly, he was spitting out blood profusely.
As a twin with a life-link connection, his ability had one unique exception, “his other self,” his elder brother Li Fan.
Provided that Li Zhen used his “Oath Ability” on himself, forsaking his power’s use on himself as a trade-off (at this time, he couldn’t use any combat abilities), he could even cause his “True Words” to have two or three times the effect on his brother.
But even so, multiple instances of “forcibly moving coordinates,” “modifying physical state,” and “rapid wound recovery” had still severely drained his vitality.
He was badly injured.
Li Zhen vomited blood heavily, and his miserable state seemed as though he could collapse at any moment.
Yet, the cheat-like enhancements continued.
As he ran, Li Fan’s severe injuries, which warranted a direct admission to the ICU, were visibly recovering.
“…Brother, I’m in bad shape, I can no longer assist you.”
However, this was not good news for the Li Family Brothers.
This rare ability often yielded the most benefits from minor “modifications,” such as a slightly heavier punch, a little faster recovery of stamina, a slightly better sight… Continuous combat support was the most suitable way for this kind of ability to exert its power.
Now the short-term forced correction of Li Fan’s condition had drained Li Zhen of his support ability…
yet not doing so, in their assessment, they would likely soon be caught by Lu Ping’an and snuffed out with ease.
“…He’s hidden so much.”
And the just-recovered Li Zhen, his previous indifference and calm now gone without a trace, as a twenty-something with little experience in deadly battles, had just experienced the closest brush with death in his life.
But once he regained his composure, he reassessed the recent battle, with more of a sense of amazement at how deeply Lu Ping’an had hidden his strength.
“He’s been saving this trump card until today.
Is this his ‘Weapon’ against Rule-level forces…”
Li Fan, despite his critical injuries, still ran with all his might, trying to secure more time to recover.
He was too severely wounded.
But where he passed, a “Colorful Painted Trap” appeared.
Some depicted flora, some rope snares, but if any outsider passed by, they would turn into real, twisted traps… over seventy percent were Quicksand Traps, which are the best in actual combat.
He actively spilled his blood on the ground, creating even more chain traps.
At this moment, he wasn’t considering whether they would be effective or not, he needed to buy more time—that was the rationale.
His abilities, if his body was in poor condition, were basically unusable.
“Battle makeup, cheetah…”
Simple patterns drawn on his arms and legs, his speed increased, and his appearance began to subtly shift towards a Beastman Transformation.
Dreamer was the name of his Talent Ability, a powerful skill in the same tier as Words Become Reality.
It was also a Dreams Come True type ability, but unlike his brother’s, it could only be used “externally” and required a medium to be activated…
and that medium was his blood!
He wasn’t actually bestowed with a metalization talent.
That was just a disguise.
He had mixed his “blood” into the metallic liquid, creating a type of metallic lacquer, which provided him with a powerful metal skin.
Meanwhile, as he set up traps, he also had to “medicate and replenish his blood”…
severe injuries were extremely detrimental for him, as his blood volume was directly related to his strength.
To be precise, though both were Dreams Come True, he was part of the Protection/Binding system(With Transformation Series), whereas his brother was the nonsensical Rule System.
When two similar and related abilities overlapped, they often resulted in effects multiplied by several to even tens of times.
But now, he had been severely wounded, and his brother’s abilities had all been redirected towards healing him.
He needed more time and space to recover.
At this moment, Li Fan abandoned the pride of being the Church’s Prodigy and recognized Lu Ping’an as an equal or even more formidable opponent, giving serious thought to his strategy and combat approach.
Indeed, they had reason for their pride; over the years, in confrontations with their peers, they had essentially crushed all opposition.
Yet now, merely from an initial encounter, he had suffered heavy injuries, a first in his life…
“Metalization won’t work, can’t beat pure hardness.
Transforming into a Berserker series Beastman with battle makeup…
won’t work either, can’t compete with that big bone.”
But the Li twins, with a plethora of skills, also faced their first agony—indeed, they had no solution for that straightforward and brutal big bone.
This was the simplest case of overwhelming power, a single slap that couldn’t be blocked would be the end.
This was also the crushing dominance of the Road over technique.
Faced with Lu Ping’an’s “heavy artillery,” Li Fan racked his brain without a clue as to how to resist.
that’s it, mobility, he surely can’t match me in that.”
Having spoken, and resolved to seize the initiative in tactics, Li Fan gritted his teeth and reopened his just-healed wound, spilling his blood on his own back and hands.
“Battle makeup, Brave Eagle!”
The next moment, he took off from the ground.
Transformed into an eagle-headed Beastman, he took flight.
But unlike the partially transformed “Escape Beastman” on the ground, this flying form required extensive Transformation and the very act of flying continuously drained his physical and ability energy, which was not cost-effective.
Yet, facing the powerful enemy, Lu Ping’an, he had no choice.
Accepting that he was the weaker party, he had to gain the upper hand in battle…
“Yo, what a coincidence.”
Just as he took to the skies, Li Fan heard the teenager’s voice that made one’s scalp tingle, from above his head.
Lu Ping’an wasn’t dealing slowly with the traps on the ground as he had expected.
Now, Lu Ping’an was sitting atop a flaming skeleton bird, smiling at him…
He had been idly drifting along, watching him make a fool of himself!
“Those painted patterns are pretty interesting…
What other amusing tricks do you have?
Bring them out for me to see.”
And the cheerful laughter of the boy was just like that of someone watching a juggler perform.
