"Of course, I've considered it." Feng Bujue's voice suddenly came from behind Lutter. "That's why I won't die so easily."

Lutter was stunned when she heard this. Only then did she realize that the "Feng Bujue" being shredded by her liquid metal had turned into a faint purple smoke and dissipated.

[Name: Caress of the Phantom Lady]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Fine]
[Defense: Weak]
[Attribute: None]
[Special Effect: Creates an illusion of the user in the target's eyes (must touch the target's body with the glove to activate, cooldown time is fifteen minutes; the illusion is only visible to the user and the target; the target must have normal visual ability)]
[Equipment Requirements: Level 38 or above, Machinery Specialization D]
[Remarks: The original owner of these gloves was a mysterious lady, a sexy, enchanting, and charming beauty. Her amorous eyes and red lips are irresistible; she is a deadly temptation, an extremely dangerous sweet trap; she lays a net, making her prey unable to extricate themselves.]

"Hmm... it seems that contact with your body is best controlled within five seconds. Any longer than that and it's very dangerous..." Feng Bujue muttered, watching the dissipating illusion. "You're currently in what's called your second form, right? It's indeed very powerful... strong attack power, excellent speed, and the ability to create energy explosions within a certain range..." He retreated quickly as he spoke. "Not only that, your self-healing ability is also amazing. For example, the kind of close-range explosive attack you used on Twenty-Three would cause considerable damage to others, but for you... it's just enough to instantly heal yourself."

"Hmph..." Lutter stepped forward and said coldly, "Is this based on your reasoning, or on intelligence from Zero?"

"Well... hehehe..." Feng Bujue responded with a very annoying laugh.

Lutter's expression changed slightly. She seemed to suddenly realize something. "You remind me of a very unpleasant guy..."

"Let me guess..." Feng Bujue interjected. "That guy wears glasses, has a perverted laugh, and knows everything."

"Yes." Lutter said, already close to Feng Bujue. "But... compared to him, you're too weak to be worth mentioning." Before she finished speaking, she thrust out both arms, her ten fingers exploding in succession. "And your unfounded composure is even more infuriating!"

Bang, bang, bang... ten explosions rang out.

Chains of white light converged, causing a more violent destructive effect.

Looking down from high altitude, a white light path spanning more than a hundred meters had appeared on the street.

"The data intensity increased instantaneously, and then returned to its original level..." Lutter muttered, watching her opponent as she reorganized her body. "This is... the effect of 'that skill', right..."

Compared to Lutter, who had been injured, Feng Bujue had retreated to a relatively safe distance and was not affected by the light burst. He remained calm and muttered, "Oh... the liquid tension and recovery speed after being attacked are at this level..."

"Boy... you actually think you have the energy to test me?" Lutter's body had returned to its original form in a few seconds. She raised one hand, locked onto Feng Bujue's coordinates again, and snapped her fingers.

Boom—

Another pillar of light shot into the sky, engulfing Feng Bujue.

"It's not just thinking I have..." Feng Bujue escaped death once again, suddenly appearing to the side. "I do have..."

[Name: Spiritual Consciousness Convergence - Modified]
[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]
[Skill Category: Spiritual Art]
[Effect: After activation, the player's physical abilities will be greatly enhanced (strength and speed at least tripled), and Survival Value will be continuously lost. The skill will automatically stop when Survival Value reaches 1%, or it can be stopped manually. No cooldown time, cannot be activated when Survival Value is less than or equal to 2%.]
[Consumption: Reduces own Survival Value by 1% per second]
[Learning Condition: Spiritual Art Specialization C]
[Remarks: Originally a basic Taoist art recorded in the Subduing Demons chapter of the Seven Ghost Valley Manual, later improved by the 250th generation successor of the Ghost Valley Sect, its power is even greater, but the burden on oneself is also more severe.]

Although the time was not long, Feng Bujue's "realm" had made considerable progress under Zero's guidance. This [Spiritual Consciousness Convergence - Modified] was one of the results of his cultivation.

The effect of the skill had been increased from double to triple, and the consumption had been changed from 2% every five seconds to 1% per second, which was a more reasonable adjustment; and the most critical change was that the cooldown time had been changed from thirty seconds to "none."

This change gave Feng Bujue a great deal of skill application space. For example, right now, he could use the "instant activation" method to accelerate. When he needed to increase his physical skills to more than three times, he could activate the skill, make a move, and then turn it off within a 0 to 1 second interval, thus consuming only 1% of his Survival Value.

And in those times when he made moves without activating the skill, he would remain in a normal state...

For ordinary people, this kind of repetitive operation that requires a high degree of concentration and reaction force is almost impossible to complete. To make an analogy, its difficulty is similar to that of an F1 driver shifting gears in a race (generally speaking, in an F1 race, the driver has to shift gears 2,500 times, that is, on average once every 2 seconds)...

But Feng Bujue, who possessed zero-time-difference calculation, was accustomed to controlling the "extreme realm," and he could do it.

"Hmph... I understand now..." Lutter looked at Feng Bujue, who had "teleported" again, and snorted coldly. "You activate and deactivate Spiritual Consciousness Convergence - Modified within one second, using instant acceleration to avoid my attacks, right?" She paused. "Using this method to deal with me is indeed a good tactic, but... no matter what, every time you make such a move, you still lose 1% of your Survival Value... don't you?"

"Oh?" Feng Bujue's eyes changed slightly. "Judging by that tone... are you planning to continuously make a hundred energy bursts in a short period of time to attack me?" He shrugged, spread his hands, and put on an expression of "I don't believe it." "Even you... can't do that, right?"

"Ha... hahahaha..." Lutter laughed, and the dark surface of her body rippled under the effect of her laughter. "You're very interesting, Feng Bujue... After testing my basic abilities, you want to test my limits? I won't fall for such an obvious provocation?"

"I was seen through..." Feng Bujue's tone was disappointed, but his expression was still indifferent. "Okay... since you know everything... why don't you tell me now..." As he spoke, he reached into his knapsack. "How do you plan to deal with 'this thing'..."
