“Resonance!”
Kaskk and Rosa jumped in joy.
“Yes, it is resonating.” Li Mo walked in holding the Staff of Origin.
“You’re… Li Mo?” Rosa’s other identity was an Experts Alliance elder, fully knowledgeable of the newcomer Li Mo becoming the inspection team leader.
“Ha-ha-ha, humans have a saying. Search how much you want, only to have it fall into your lap in the end.”
Kaskk stood up as the cracks on his body mended.
Cricket race’s rebirth trait wasn’t as amazing as Sacred Light Physique’s recovery, but had quite the renown in the universe.
“So it’s your ancestor, Kaskk, who betrayed humanity. You have cleared many doubts from my mind, thank you.”
Rosa said, “He is Li Mo, the new inspection team leader from the Experts Alliance. His promotion was all due to extraordinary luck, but he completed his first mission faster than even fifth level Zheng Huahu and Zheng Hualong. You can tell he’s hiding his strength!”
Kaskk eyed him coldly, “So you’re the mystery man?”
Li Mo nodded.
“Your vitality is far stronger than Yao Changsheng, Zhou Mengxian, and even that bastard under the ocean. It’s clear you’re no old timer, but a new cultivator. One that isn’t even 20 years old. Am I right, mystery man?”
Li Mo nodded again.
“I can’t say for sure if I can win against the likes of Zhou Mengxian and Yao Changsheng. But you, that’s another story.”
Kaskk punched Li Mo.
Li Mo punched as well. From the clash, Kaskk stood still while Li Mo backed away three steps.
“Ha-ha-ha, you actually came alone to kill me? Your Staff of Origin is mine!” Kaskk cackled.
“Rosa, aren’t you joining? This is your best chance. Don’t miss it.”
Li Mo dodged Kaskk as he talked to Rosa.
“As you wish!” Rosa charged Li Mo.
Rosa’s body resembled Hexamand race’s Domon. The only difference was in those fluorescent eyes of his. It wasn’t like the Naga race. This was just the nature of his eyes.
Bang~
Surrounded, Li Mo attacked both sides, pushing back Rosa and Kaskk.
Kaskk was gloomy, “Something’s off about you!”
“He never looks me in the eye. He knows my trait!”
Glimmer race’s trait was the eye of confusion. Looking at it would affect one’s movements, but Li Mo knew this and avoided his gaze every time.
“This human has the Staff of Origin. We can’t let him live. Rosa, let’s settle this in one go!”
“Got it!”
Kaskk blew up into eight pieces, each beginning to grow. Soon there were eight Kaskks.
This was Cricket race’s rebirth trait. As long as they were not split in nine pieces, they could form eight identical bodies, in power and speed alike.
Rosa changed as well. His fluorescent eyes popped out of their sockets, growing to the size of basketballs.
The fluorescent light they gave off grew as well, making each place it shine on blurry.
Li Mo closed his eyes. This was how the eye of confusion was used to the max. In this case, even if one took an indirect glance, they’d be affected.
“Now’s our chance. He can’t take my rays and closed his eyes. Kaskk, kill him!” Rosa shouted.
The eight Kaskks charged Li Mo, just when the latter opened his eyes.
“Celestial Eye, open!”
The Celestial Eye pierced everything!
It let out a sharp light, striking Rosa’s glimmering eyes. Rosa yelped and his eyes dimmed.
“Ahhhh~, accursed human, our races only have two or three talents. Why are humans privileged with so many? Damn you!”
Rosa’s eyes went back in his head, holding them in pain.
Boom!
At the same time, Li Mo also launched Thunderstorm Palm, pushing Kaskk six meters back.
The seven Kaskks charged and struck seven fists squarely on his chest.
Pff…
Li Mo spouted blood. This was the first time since he came back he suffered such a grievous wound.
With the powerl limit imposed on Earth, Kaskk and Rosa were peak fifth level. But even so, there was an enormous difference in power.
Kaskk could turn into eight people. If it was a one-on-one match, against peak fifth level opponents, the outcome would be obvious with such a trait…
“He’s wounded. Again, finish him!”
“Got it!”
Kaskk charged again, and so did Rosa, after bearing through the pain.
Bam!
Boom!
Bam!
Boom!
Kaskk struck and flew again and again, hurting Li Mo every time. With how wounded he was, it was hard for him to even stand, wobbling all over.
“I am Kaskk, the strongest warrior of the Cricket race. I have roamed the universe for thousands of years. Except for the ten great races, no one is my match. You, a human who isn’t even in your twenties, dare oppose me? Die!”
The eight Kaskks roared, storming Li Mo…
Rose performed sneak attacks from time to time. He was so devious that every hit capitalized on Li Mo’s distractions, landing true and hard.
“Thunderstorm Palm!”
Boom~
He blew away a Kaskk, while the other seven and Rosa hit him till collapse.
“We finally did it.” Kaskk panted.
“He’s so damn tough. Our attacks can easily punch through a ten meter thick steel plate!”
“H-he’s getting up!”
Kaskk and Rosa watched in shock as Li Mo crawled to his feet.
“A Fortune of Heaven and Earth body needs exceptional tempering to improve. After this, my Body Tempering Stage will break its shackles and reach completion!”
“Why won’t you just die?” Kaskk went into a frenzy…
Li Mo used a palm attack. Kaskk thought it was another Thunderstorm Palm, but this time, he launched a red, green, and black chain, tying one Kaskk up.
This was the chain he made from meteorite he bought in the Experts Alliance’s base, jade essence and Ye Xiaolu’s grief.
The three colored chain had Kaskk immobilized.
It then sank into his flesh until it vanished completely.
Li Mo was sent flying again, but after this, the seven other Kaskks started collapsing.
“Bastard…”
Plop~
This chain was refined with Kaskk in mind. Kaskk could split into eight, but they shared the same life. As long as he received a heavy would, they all did.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Rosa bolted. Li Mo channeled his qi then took a step as he punched, blowing him to pieces.
