"Little Dai?"
He Feisong originally did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
However, as the battle went on, he quickly felt the change.
Previously, the boy was like a child wielding a sharp weapon—fearsome, yet completely without skill.
But now, he had transformed from a child into a well-trained warrior, undergoing a sudden qualitative leap!
Every one of his attacks became unpredictable, each strike forcing He Feisong into a life-and-death struggle, requiring all his strength just to respond.
Instead, He Feisong's every attack was easily neutralized by the boy.
This was…
A second personality?!
This guy actually had a hidden personality skilled in battle?!
Why had it not appeared before, only to show up now?
Damn it, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have killed those Evil Wolves but let them help me besiege this guy…
Now, not to mention snatching treasures—even keeping his life was a problem!
He Feisong grew anxious.
On the other side, Jiang He only felt the fight grow easier, more exhilarating—
At this moment, he was not in the state of "controlling a Heroic Spirit's body," but rather in the state of "Heroic Spirit possession."
That was, the Craftsman God attaching himself to his body, empowering his flesh with divine strength, and controlling his movements to unleash overwhelming might, just like White Crane before.
Only now, the Craftsman God had returned control of the body to him.
In other words, he was now "self template" + "Heroic Spirit template" + "Divine Equipment of Creation" + "Infinity Artifact."
All the enhancements stacked together, producing the effect of a D-rank fighting head-on against a B-rank.
Moreover…
Jiang He hadn't even used his skills yet!
Although they could not compare to the Craftsman God's template buffs, his three-path skills of Word-Spirit, flame, and prophecy could also bring him considerable attribute boosts, raising his strength even further!
Just like now, while fighting, he muttered softly.
"God's Gift."
"Instant."…
At the same time, flames spread across his body, Flame Body activated.
Phase Two, open!
Jiang He's power surged higher and higher, while He Feisong's wounds grew in number.
However, more than the wounds on his body—
He Feisong was stunned by the abilities displayed by the boy before him.
"Word-Spirit."
"Flame Body."…
This was…
"You're Jiang He?!"
At that moment, He Feisong finally realized.
The one attacking him was actually the new-generation genius of Central State City, Zhong Honglian's new student!
Hadn't he just awakened not long ago?
And yet he could already fight evenly with himself, an A-rank Transcendent?!
Where had he obtained that Artifact?!
What kind of monster was he?!
For a moment, countless doubts flooded his mind.
Meanwhile, Jiang He, though his identity had been exposed, remained completely calm.
In the entire world, he was the only Word-Spirit talent holder. Having used those skills, being recognized was nothing unusual.
Besides, as for how He Feisong knew of him… once he was dead, Jiang He would use the Ever-Changing Mask to absorb his memory, and everything would become clear.
First win, then talk!
Jiang He vanished from sight, reappearing behind He Feisong.
"Divine Equipment · Instantaneous Footwork."
This was "Divine Equipment" forged by the Craftsman God through talent, profession, and materials.
Its most fundamental effect was numerical enhancement.
It could raise the wearer's strength, speed, reaction, spiritual resilience, defense, and every other stat, forcibly elevating a D-rank Transcendent's base power to the peak of C-rank—
And within the Craftsman God's professional skills were amplifications to the effectiveness of Divine Equipment.
Stacked together, his basic stats could directly reach the level of B-rank.
Secondly, every piece of Divine Equipment carried a special effect, none of them conflicting, and consuming almost no energy.
For example, boots forged from the Leg Demon's material—
The left boot's effect was spatial transfer, instantaneous arrival.
The right boot's effect was speed boost, strength boost.
In addition, there were legs, torso, arms, hands, shoulders, head—each part corresponded to a Transcendent effect.
Extremely powerful in actual combat.
It was just a pity that, though the Craftsman God had created so many skills, when it came to actual battle, he would only bulldoze his way through, chopping endlessly with brute strength, unable to bring out the finesse of his abilities.
Now, Jiang He swiftly grasped these techniques, quickly integrating them together.
While fighting, he simultaneously exchanged insights with the Craftsman God in his mind.
And all the while, he swung his blade at He Feisong.
On the other side, while He Feisong was confused, he also felt joy rising in his heart.
Though he did not know how Jiang He had grown so powerful in such a short time, or how he had acquired this kind of ultimate Artifact…
Since it was Jiang He, that meant his time of growth was short, and his energy level truly low, not just a disguise.
Relying on external objects, no matter how much strength he gained temporarily, his power could never match that of a true expert!
Victory was his!
At this moment, He Feisong had no thought of escape, only one intention—
To fight this guy to the death!
In an instant, shockwaves spread out as he fully unleashed his strength—
He Feisong's talent was the B-rank [Gas Manipulation], not rare.
Other Transcendents with this talent usually pursued the paths of spirit or energy, some even attempting to manipulate the gases inside another's body…
He Feisong was different. He walked the path of the flesh.
Against lower-rank Transcendents, he could kill them instantly by manipulating gases at will.
Against peers, he relied on compression and explosion of gases to propel and enhance his body, unleashing brutal strength to slaughter his foes!
The profession of Immortal obtained from the Undying Body was precisely to acquire a stronger physique, to bear more power!
At this moment, he fully unleashed his force, compressing the air until it burst apart.
Bang after bang of sonic detonations, like countless pressure bombs exploding in midair.
With terrifying force, the shockwaves propelled He Feisong's body forward, making him turn faster than Jiang He could react, swinging a punch that deflected Jiang He's blade, forcing him back.
Then came a relentless barrage, unleashing A-rank might from a B-rank base, utterly suppressing Jiang He!
Yet—
This was a scene Jiang He had already "seen."
At this moment, as He Feisong fully released his strength, compressing the air and punching forward—
Jiang He shifted his thought, changing the Time-Cutting Blade into the Sky-Splitting Blade, angling it along He Feisong's fist trajectory.
As his fist struck, his right hand was cleaved apart, his arm hacked halfway through.
He Feisong ignored the pain, staring in shock at his right hand.
He had been…
Seen through?!
As fear and fury erupted, shockwaves burst forth as he tried to switch moves for a desperate counterattack—
Jiang He twisted his blade, slicing open space itself, driving it through He Feisong's chest.
With a hard pull, he cut horizontally, cleaving him in two!
Truth be told—
As an "Inspirer" who could foresee the future—
Jiang He feared brutes in melee the least.
He Feisong lowered his head, staring in disbelief at his bisected body, unable to imagine being slain by a mere D-rank Transcendent.
Even as his consciousness had yet to fade, preparing to gather the last of his strength to crush the air completely—
A flash of the blade split his skull in half.
