The two figures crisscrossed in mid-air, Pei Yan's electromagnetic cannon brushing past Zheng Jia Ru's shoulder, while the Inner Light Source Group shot from Zheng Jia Ru's mouth went straight into Pei Yan's chest.

Having suffered once before, Pei Yan was more experienced this time. The moment the Inner Light Source Group invaded his body, he mobilized his intrinsic energy to suppress it. Though the sudden internal blast still caused his entire body to tremble violently, he managed to minimize the damage and, after a few coughs, dashed just like an arrow.

Zheng Jia Ru, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. Despite painstakingly avoiding the critical blow to his vital areas, he was still grazed by the electromagnetic cannon. The strong impact on his left arm sent him spinning three times in mid-air before being flung far away. By the time he struggled out of the bamboo grove, his entire arm was twisted and deformed, bleeding profusely.

"Are you toothpaste? Squeeze out a little, use a little, you're really not straightforward! Stop hiding your strength! Show me your trump card! Or you won't last three minutes under my next attacks!" Zheng Jia Ru yelled with dissatisfaction, as he forcefully reset his dislocated left arm, the wound healing rapidly.

"Phew! Hahaha!" Hearing the complaints from afar, Pei Yan stood up from the ground and laughed heartily. Finally, he removed his helmet, took a deep breath of the scorched air in the forest, licked the blood foam inside his mouth with his tongue, spat it on the ground, and laughed, "I originally just wanted to enhance my combat skills and find my weaknesses, but I didn't expect our spar to escalate to this. Looks like both of us have our competitive spirits ignited! So I'll go all out! And please, don't hold back!"

"As it should be!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Jia Ru vanished from where he stood, charging straight at Pei Yan. But halfway there, he noticed Pei Yan extending his arms and clenching them with force, causing the ground beneath him to tremble violently.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Pei Yan's desperate roar echoed through the valley, and, in response, the ground cracked and shook as if the entire space was quaking vigorously.

"My god! What kind of ability is this? Is this also caused by the resonance of infrasound weapons?" Gu Shenghui, floating in mid-air, stared at the strange phenomena unfolding beneath his feet and gawked at the terrifying power within Pei Yan, exclaiming aloud.

At this moment, Engineer Li's voice came through his Bluetooth headset as he watched the electronic screen alongside Ye Jiumu and others from a safe location, astonishingly speaking into the microphone, "This isn't caused by infrasound weapons. Even if Pei Yan magnified the weapon's power by a hundredfold, it couldn't cause this effect."

"Then he has awakened a new ability? So he only needed infrasound-level weapons as an amplifier? No wonder he chose to train in a mountainous environment!" Feeling the overwhelming force where the mountain crumbled beneath them, Yao Xuefang marveled as she soared higher along with the Investigation Bureau team.

"Brother! Under such circumstances, do you still believe Zheng Jia Ru will win? I think the focus should be on how to save lives now!" Watching on the screen as the shattered rocks formed mudslides, instantly burying the valley where Zheng Jia Ru was, with his figure vanishing within moments, Ye Jiumu asked in disbelief, mouth wide open.

Meanwhile, his brother Ye Ruozai, the one being questioned, also wore a solemn expression. Glancing at the floating Pei Yan, there was a hint of apprehension in his eyes. After a long sigh, he finally replied, "The victor will still be Zheng Jia Ru!"

Everyone was shocked by this answer, and just then, the tremors of the earth gradually ceased. The once towering small mountains had their peaks crumbled halfway in this apocalyptic shaking, and a massive amount of rocks rolled, filling the valley. In the midst of rising dust, ongoing aftershocks, and sporadic sliding rocks from the slopes, more debris crashed into the mountain.

Hovering in mid-air and gasping for breath, Pei Yan activated his Mechanical Eye to scan the valley below and shouted loudly, "Hey, come out! The energy within you has already exposed you completely. Don't think you can ambush me by hiding!"

After a while, movement came from the piled fragments within the valley, with the debris continuously rolling to both sides. Before long, a figure covered in dirt emerged from within.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Covered in mud and blood, Zheng Jia Ru gasped for fresh air, coughing a few times before ripping off his tattered shirt, revealing his sturdy, muscled upper body, and looked up at Pei Yan in the air, "Ah, that eye is really annoying. I must say you're much trickier than that iron bastard! Is this your new ability?"

Pei Yan recognized the "iron bastard" referred to Liang Guangsheng. He smiled and nodded, "You're also stronger than that guy. Yes, this is the third ability I've acquired: Vibration! I can make any object vibrate, inducing resonance, and amplifying the effect. The reason for using infrasound weapons is also that I can exponentially increase its power!"

"Not even reaching the fourth tier, and you already possess three abilities; that's remarkably rare! You truly are strong! Listen up, Pei Yan! If you can last ten minutes in combat or escape my upcoming state, then you'll win!"

After Zheng Jia Ru spoke, his body hunched, releasing a large amount of intrinsic energy from within. Suddenly, a soft whisper emerged from his mouth, "Full Body Enhancement!" In the next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!" Pei Yan's heart just had time to shout in alarm when a strong wind surged from behind. Unable to avoid it in time, Pei Yan hurriedly activated the engine, plummeting downward rapidly.

Yet Zheng Jia Ru was faster than him, surpassing his falling speed and flashing in front of him. Seeing Zheng Jia Ru's eyes, devoid of human emotion through the visor, Pei Yan felt genuine terror for the first time in this battle.

"Vibration!" As Pei Yan swung his fists to meet Zheng Jia Ru's, their hands collided in mid-air, Zheng Jia Ru's arms instantly shattered and exploded, splattering blood and flesh on Pei Yan's face, while his arms had already been remolded anew through self-healing.

What the hell is this self-healing speed! Even Elder Lin couldn't achieve this, right? As Pei Yan's mind faltered, Zheng Jia Ru's figure vanished once again on him. Shortly after, a giant force hit his back, sending him crashing deep into the ground.

"Ah!" Without more words, Pei Yan roared as he leaped out from the pit. Realizing he could see Zheng Jia Ru's movements but couldn't react in time, he decided to surrender his body's control to the Mechanical Eye.

With his reaction speed slightly improved, he finally kept pace with Zheng Jia Ru's actions. Within the valley of fragmented stones, they engaged in a frenetic duel, without dodging, without evading, trading punches and kicks. Zheng Jia Ru's body cracked and healed in a continuous cycle, while Pei Yan's protective array had long shattered, mechanical fragments scattered wildly, being intensely consumed, until one of them couldn't hold on any longer, swayed, and fell flat on his back.
