Chapter 4166 Key

Chapter 4166 Key
System Xiao Hei was definitely not laughing anymore.

His sudden elation stemmed from a feeling that his previous plan had been remarkably successful. He saw hope for the plan's success, hence his uncontrollable elation.

To be honest, his plan wasn't that detailed, since he was forced into this situation and hadn't really anticipated it.

His plan was simple: leverage the live stream to continuously grow stronger and quickly surpass Linton. Despite the various setbacks, Linton's recent action proved the plan's feasibility.

Yes, look at the beam of light that Linton just released. Isn't that the same beam that pierced through the entire Japanese penetrating region?

System Xiao Hei was of course aware of the level of beams that Linton could unleash, and he had always been worried about whether he could withstand such an attack.

After all, under such an attack, he could be reduced to ashes in an instant, leaving not a single cell behind. And if he were truly reduced to the point of cellular obliteration, could he possibly revive himself using his own abilities?

He had never tried it before, nor dared to; who would dare? Simply put, he was afraid of dying.

But now Linton actually fired that beam of light, and he was blasted to ashes. But System Xiao Hei quickly discovered that he could actually survive; even though his body was completely destroyed, he could actually be resurrected intact.

This discovery almost guarantees that I am invincible, right? Look, even Linton's strongest moves can't do anything to me. Now, all I need to do is stall for time, and that's it, isn't it?

If all else fails, I'll retreat this time. After all, as long as I'm alive, I can keep getting stronger, and at worst, I can fight a protracted war with Linton.

That's right, he hadn't dared to show himself before because he was afraid of being tracked down by Linton. But now, since possessing Soma Yukihira, the power he'd gained seems to be beyond his expectations. So he doesn't need to be so afraid anymore, right? Even if Linton has the ability to track him down, he can just keep hiding.

Of course, before that, he needs to learn how to stream, and then hide while streaming. Even if Linton catches him, he can't kill himself, right? So it's just a matter of time.

He got more and more excited as he thought about it, and he laughed for a long time until Linton shattered his laughter several times in a row. Suddenly, he couldn't laugh anymore.

That's right, although he can be fully resurrected, it still takes a toll. Given how fast Linton killed him, even if he recovers his energy quickly, he can't keep up.

Then he quickly realized that his judgment seemed to be somewhat flawed.

He had exchanged a punch with Linton earlier, and only his right arm was shattered. He subconsciously felt that he could gradually adapt to Linton's level of physical skill.

But just now, Linton had also shattered him with a single blow. He hadn't noticed it at first, but after several strikes, he suddenly realized it. That was, when Linton punched him earlier, it seemed like he hadn't used his full strength at all.

What about the beam of light? Was the beam of light released earlier Linton's full power?
Thinking of this, he suddenly panicked again. His smile vanished. Then he suddenly remembered Linton's words, "It's too slow." What did that mean? He had been concerned about it, but the sudden exchange of blows had interrupted him.

"I haven't thought about it. I'm talking about how fast you're getting stronger." Just as he was thinking, Linton suddenly seemed to read his mind and read out the answer to the question he was thinking about.

“You…” System Xiao Hei looked at Lin Dun in astonishment.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any mind-reading abilities. It's just that your thoughts are really easy to guess," Linton said with a smile. "What, do you think you're invincible? You think you can beat me just by waiting for time to pass?"

"You... how could you..." System Xiao Hei stared at Lin Dun in astonishment, as if Lin Dun had easily guessed everything he was thinking. Was this really not mind reading?

Of course, Linton wasn't lying when he said no. The question is, why did he so easily guess his thoughts?

System Xiao Hei suddenly realized something: Linton's ability to guess his thoughts was definitely not a last-minute guess. That meant... yes, this guy had always known about the live broadcast and had always known why he saved Matsumoto Yoshishi.

No, to be precise, this guy might even have deliberately orchestrated this whole thing. Now that we know the situation and think back on it, it seems like it was all Linton's doing; he deliberately targeted Matsumoto Yoshishi.

Linton might have thought that his actions were just like those of a monkey jumping around.

The reason why he didn't stop the live stream directly, even though he knew this, was something that System Xiao Hei couldn't have figured out before. But now, apart from the fact that he wanted to see him make a fool of himself, he could figure out the reason from what Lin Dun just said about it being too slow.

This guy wants to become stronger so he can fight him? That's probably what he means.

Perhaps it was because he was too strong that he wanted to find an opponent? But because he had just tried to test how much stronger he had become, Linton realized that his growth hadn't met his expectations, so he gave up on letting himself grow stronger unchecked, which is why he said, "My biggest weakness is my lack of patience." Now, System Black completely understands all of this.

"You bastard!" The system, Xiao Hei, was truly devastated after realizing he'd been treated like a monkey for so long. The mental torture he'd just endured now seemed entirely caused by Linton, and this guy had just been watching him make a fool of himself. If he could chew him up, he'd want to devour Linton alive right now.

“It seems you understand as well,” Linton said. “I did want to see just how strong you could become, but unfortunately, you’ve only gotten this much stronger in half a day. I don’t have that much time to wait for you, so I have to give up.”

"I..." System Xiao Hei was about to unleash a torrent of profanity, but he held back. The more difficult the situation, the more composed he needed to be. "Even so, what can you do to me now? I can regenerate infinitely—yes, not just be reborn, but be reborn again. This version of me..."

"Leaving aside the issue of infinite rebirth, which I've encountered many times, what you're relying on right now isn't actually infinite rebirth at all," Linton suddenly said.

Before the system, Xiao Hei, could react, Linton spoke up again: "The ability of infinite rebirth is not scary at all, but the key is that you don't feel any pain when you are reborn, and you can even laugh. In my opinion, that's the key. So the problem to be solved now is not the problem of infinite rebirth, but the problem of not being able to make you feel pain. Let me make you feel real pain."
