Chapter 725 – Absolute Defense
The Sacred Silver Bullets rained down on the trio, forcing them to dodge frantically.
The high-speed bullets shot like a silver storm, making them nearly impossible to defend against.
Fortunately, all three had been enhanced by Lu Yinghao’s Adrenaline injection, sharpening their reflexes and letting them narrowly avoid the first volley—though they looked downright pathetic doing it.
“Still can’t find his blind spot?”
“No way—that’s impossible. Everyone’s got a weakness!” Ye He said stubbornly.
Beneath his feet, a shifting black shadow danced like a waiting evil spirit.
But without pinpointing Zhang Ye’s weakness, he couldn’t act recklessly.
Doing so would only expose his trump card.
“There’s something they don’t know. If they did, they wouldn’t have been foolish enough to challenge Zhang Ye.”
Wu Di looked at him. “What is it?”
Baili Changqing stared at Zhang Ye, who stood there calm and unfazed, completely untouched no matter the attack.
He said slowly, “In the official database, Zhang Ye’s ability codename is Absolute Defense.”
“Their abilities are basically handing him a free win.”
There was only one known method to break Zhang Ye’s ability: using overwhelming force to exceed the dimensional space’s absorption threshold in one go—temporarily disabling the dimensional gate.
But with Zhang Ye’s current power level, the only people who could manage that would be extremely powerful Release-type or Special Trait-type ability users, and even then, they’d have to be on par with or stronger than him.
“This is what a defense-specialized captain-level superhuman can do,” Baili Changqing said with admiration.
Zhang Ye might not always kill his enemies, but he was nearly impossible to kill himself.
His eyes remained calm as he kept firing mercilessly.
The White Owl pistols were designed primarily for close combat—they were easy to wield.
But in terms of raw firepower, they weren’t even one-tenth the strength of Thunder Wrath.
Of course, Zhang Ye would never casually use Thunder Wrath, especially during training matches .
He was afraid that even a slight mistake would blow these guys into pieces.
But even so, the trio—Ye He, Xue Miao, and Lu Yinghao—were already scrambling for their lives.
Xue Miao’s movement ability was useless against Zhang Ye. Even if he got close, there was no weakness to exploit.
Lu Yinghao’s power was even more ineffective—his poisons relied on physical delivery, which Zhang Ye naturally countered.
Only Ye He hadn’t made a move yet, still waiting for the right moment.
But Zhang Ye already had all their data memorized in his mind.
Ye He, Release-type superhuman, codename Phantom Killer.
He could use shadows to assassinate targets within a 300-meter range and swap positions with others via their shadows.
Essentially, he was an assassin too.
And assassins loved to bide their time.
But if the opponent was someone with ironclad defense like Zhang Ye, then that style became utterly useless.
Of course, they could try to run.
If this were a real battlefield, Zhang Ye wouldn’t bother chasing them.
But right now, they were trapped in a training field the size of four basketball courts.
Challenging Zhang Ye in here? Escape wasn’t an option.
Which meant they were just three sitting ducks.
From the start, Zhang Ye had already calculated everything in his head.
If he wasn’t one hundred percent confident in winning this three-on-one fight, he never would’ve agreed to it.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The silver streaks of Sacred Silver bullets kept slicing through the air. The three were already using every ounce of their strength just to dodge the bullet trajectories.
The Adrenaline was acting like a supercharged stimulant, temporarily boosting their overall performance.
But once it wore off, they’d be left incredibly weak.
Right now, Zhang Ye’s relentless shooting was pushing them to burn through the effects faster.
“D*mn it! There’s no way to even get close! And even if I did, I have no idea how to break through that defense!”
“What the hell is that ability—does it really have no blind spots?”
They had never fought Zhang Ye before.
If they had even seen his match against Wu Di, they would’ve had some idea what they were dealing with.
To Baili Changqing, Liang Yue, and the others, the whole fight looked ridiculous.
Ye He and the others looked like three monkeys, bouncing around trying to dodge Zhang Ye’s bullets.
They were clueless, completely out of options against his defense.
And Zhang Ye? He had an endless supply of bullets.
He had Lu Keran, and access to massive resources from Tianhai City. That meant he basically owned an infinite munitions factory.
“Zhang Ye’s letting loose like he’s got an entire ocean to spare,” Liang Yue groaned, holding her forehead.
His real kill moves—Divine Power or Void Spear—either one could one-shot the three of them.
But right now, Zhang Ye was just using guns, playing with them like a grown-up toying with three naughty kids.
She actually started to feel bad for the poor fools.
After two rounds of shooting, the trio was utterly frustrated.
Their enhanced reactions started to slow as the adrenaline wore off.
Xue Miao was the first to get hit—a Sacred Silver Bullet pierced clean through his leg, front to back.
He screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Ye aimed his gun at Xue Miao’s head—and fired right next to his ear!
A wisp of smoke rose from the floor. Cold sweat poured down Xue Miao’s face.
“Don’t—don’t! I give up! I surrender!” he yelled.
He’d only wanted to leverage this fight for some benefits—he had never intended to go all out against Zhang Ye.
So now that the tide had turned, he bailed immediately.
Seeing Xue Miao surrender, Ye He and Lu Yinghao panicked too.
Lu Yinghao, being the weakest member of the Celestial Squad, knew the smart move.
“I give up, Captain! I’m no match for you.”
He raised both hands and obediently backed off to the edge of the field.
He figured—why kill yourself when you can just enjoy life?
Ye He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, “Useless!”
His shadow twisted and morphed wildly beneath him, allowing him to dodge round after round by swapping places with shadows in pinpoint precision.
Even Zhang Ye couldn’t help but be impressed.
This guy really did have some skills—no wonder he was mid-tier in the Celestial Squad.
“Zhang Ye,” Ye He called out, “you’ve got the upper hand now because of the setting and the rules. But on a real battlefield, do you really think you can just hide forever?”
“What if I decide to run? What would you do then?”
He couldn’t find Zhang Ye’s weakness, so he resorted to verbal jabs.
He still wasn’t convinced.
He thought Zhang Ye was just taking advantage of the arena.
What he didn’t realize was—true experts always make use of their surroundings.
