Adding to his own tasks, he could only complain inwardly at the moment.
Not far from him, Ya Lili was completely panicked.
“Sister Yin, can I go and stop the match? Brother Li is my bodyguard now too!”
Having just been reprimanded by Hua Yin, Ya Lili now regarded Hua Yin as her guide. She dared not make a decision without Hua Yin’s word, fearing she might cause trouble for Li Zhonglou.
“No, once you’re on the stage, it’s the bodyguard’s own business. We have no right to make decisions anymore.”
Hua Yin sighed. In her heart, she actually sided with Li Li, but because Li Zhonglou was Ya Lili’s bodyguard, she hadn’t revealed her true thoughts.
This guy, clearly outmatched, why insist on being stubborn? Was it just for a man’s pride?
Hua Yin was also extremely puzzled by Li Zhonglou’s actions, unable to comprehend the point of such stubbornness. After all, it not only failed to earn him any pride as a man but would only invite more mockery!
Meanwhile, on the stage, Li Li had once again caught up to Li Zhonglou. Tong Wu on the side was also hurriedly heading off the stage.
As an ordinary person who could barely even track Li Li’s movements, if he were accidentally injured, he’d likely be left crippled or dead!
“How many more times can you dodge?”
Appearing once more in front of Li Zhonglou, Li Li provocatively raised his right hand leisurely, a cold smirk on his face.
“Oh, no need.”
Feeling a familiar sensation surge within him, Li Zhonglou’s face suddenly broke into a radiant smile.
In fact, soul possession was even simpler than he had imagined. The moment he thought of Shi Tou’s figure in his mind and mentally chanted “release” three times, he instantly felt a part of the curse on him disappear.
Other than that, there were no other unusual sensations.
However, at this moment, Elder An’s voice echoed in his mind again.
“I’ve asked Shi Tou to transfer full control to you. For now, you are in a semi-fused state.”
Li Zhonglou’s expression froze, and he subconsciously asked, “And what about complete fusion?”
“Then I’ll let you experience it.”
As soon as he spoke, Li Li’s fist was less than an inch from his nose.
The speed was so great because Li Zhonglou’s smile had once again provoked Li Li.
He had initially planned to exhaust Li Zhonglou’s stamina by playing a cat-and-mouse game, but Li Zhonglou’s brilliant smile, coupled with his sudden stunned expression, made Li Li change his mind instantly.
“I don’t want to see this face for another second!”
Thus, Li Li’s originally slow punch instantly accelerated, about to smash into Li Zhonglou’s face.
Ya Lili cried out in alarm and covered her face, unable to bear watching any longer.
However, in the next second, what she heard was not the sound of impact, but a series of bewildered exclamations.
“Holy crap, Super Saiyan?”
“Where’s this blue light coming from? Is this guy a mutant?”
“Dou Qi manifestation!”
“Manifest what ghost? You’ve read too many novels!”
Ya Lili dazedly let go of her hands and peeked at the stage through her fingers. Her entire body stiffened.
On the stage, Li Zhonglou was emanating a layer of blue light, and his right hand was firmly gripping Li Li’s fist.
This scene was exactly as the first person had described, with the vibe of an anime Super Saiyan battle.
But this was the real world! Where were the Super Saiyans? This scene utterly confused everyone present.
Even Long Shi on the high platform looked bewildered.
Damn it, does this guy Eleven have to show off so much? And where did this blue light come from?
It’s so f***ing cool!
However, the person at the center of it all now had a darkened expression.
“Damn it, Elder An! What’s with this blue light?”
“Wasn’t it you who said you wanted to experience complete fusion?”
“Then why didn’t you say it would be like this earlier!”
“Uh, I think it’s my fault. This light… it can be retracted…”
As soon as Shi Tou finished speaking, the blue light on Li Zhonglou vanished.
He breathed a heavy sigh of relief and then understood what Elder An meant by complete fusion.
However, he had no time to dwell on it. After catching Li Li’s fist, he counter-punched towards Li Li’s face.
The latter hadn’t even recovered from the blue light before he took the punch squarely.
He then fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.
The entire venue fell silent.
At this moment, Tong Wu had only taken half a step outside. Since he was facing away from the two, he didn’t understand what had happened and only heard someone fall.
So, his face lit up with joy.
“This kid finally fell!”
Tong Wu quickly turned back, his pupils contracting sharply.
Li Zhonglou, meanwhile, was carefully experiencing the so-called soul possession.
In fact, this feeling wasn’t exactly pleasant for Li Zhonglou. After Shi Tou had completely fused with him, he could clearly feel another source of control within him.
As long as his consciousness didn’t deliberately perform a certain action, the other party could control his body at any time.
“Uncomfortable, right? Well, there’s nothing that can be done about it.” Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Elder An explained in a timely manner, “It’s not a soul fusion, so if you want to exert the soul’s strength, you have to give up control of the body.”
Li Zhonglou asked with some confusion, “Does that mean to exert the true power of soul possession, I have to hand over control of my body?”
“Roughly. Generally, only Shi Tou can perfectly unleash the power that’s augmented on you.”
“Roughly? Does that mean there are other methods?”
“Yes, counter-fusion. But for that, you need Shi Tou’s consent.”
Li Zhonglou wanted to ask more, but the exclamations from below drew his attention back.
“What the hell? It’s over?”
“Are you kidding? Golden Bodyguard?”
“No, it’s not Li Li’s fault, it’s that blue light from this guy just now!”
The crowd, finally reacting, erupted in an uproar!
No one had expected such an outcome! Just a moment ago, Li Li seemed to have victory in his grasp, but in the blink of an eye, he was lying on the ground, unmoving. If not for the sudden blue light emanating from Li Zhonglou, everyone would have assumed this was a staged fight!
Even so, people were still struggling to accept it, with some even casting their gaze towards Hua Nanhu on the high platform.
“Senior Hua, what was that blue light just now?”
“Senior Hua, does that guy have inner strength or not?”
“Senior Hua…”
The multitude of questions left Hua Nanhu unsure of how to respond, mainly because he had never seen such blue light before!
What exactly was this kid?
