Chen Baiwen's [SSR-Level Time Trace System] could replicate events that had taken place at a certain location in the past. The way his system became stronger was simple—anything Chen Baiwen had witnessed would become history, and as long as it was history, it was a part of the Time Trace System.
[You've seen Yu Fei's whirlwind attack, Time Sand +145]
[You've seen Gao Zhuo's arena performance, Time Sand +169]
[You've seen Xiang Beifei's punching style, Time Sand +299]
All these were scenes Chen Baiwen had memorized deeply before his own match started, then converted into system values.
Of course, his method of collecting Time Sand wasn't limited to just what he'd seen; if he hadn't witnessed something personally, he could also choose to spend a certain amount of Time Sand to replicate events that had occurred within a specific range, for example—
[Spend 200 grains of Time Sand, replication range is within a 200 square meter radius, duration up to 200 minutes]
[Note: In the current range, replicating each past trace can add a certain amount of Time Sand]
This meant that even if Chen Baiwen hadn't personally seen the current arena's scene, he could still spend 200 Time Sand to replicate the arena's traces, and as long as the replication was successful, it would still add to his Time Sand.
And when Time Sand reached a certain level, it could be exchanged for various system items to strengthen himself.
Beyond this, Chen Baiwen also possessed various very special abilities—
[Antique]: Can turn something into its form from a past time period. For example, transforming a towering tree back into a seed before it had sprouted, or turning a piece of porcelain directly back into a lump of clay.
[Antique]: Can turn something brand new into an antique, like turning a new painting into an antique from fifty or a hundred years later.
Of course, the duration of the "Antique" or "Antique" effect on an item, and how long it lasts, are linked to one's cultivation and system values. The longer the time span changed, the more system values it costs, and the higher the Cultivation Realm is required.
For an SSR-Level Awakener like Chen Baiwen, he's well suited to be a Law Enforcer tracking down criminals or working in an antique shop restoring artifacts. If he were a pioneer, in the outer wilds, he could use it to search for traces of powerful desolate beasts.
Chen Baiwen manipulated a chimpanzee, a desolate beast fiercely charging at Xiang Beifei. Xiang Beifei once again smashed the chimpanzee with a punch, then with a slight flash in his eyes, he already knew what would happen next.
The entire arena was blanketed with a mass of lightning, terrifying blue flashes of thunder falling from above the arena, encircling all possible exits of the arena.
[You've replicated Lin Fan's lightning, Time Sand +18]
The thunder rumbled mightily, thunderously loud, each bolt seemed to tear the arena's sky in half, the blue lightning illuminating the entire venue, leaving everyone utterly stunned!
Being a Meridian Opening stage expert, when Chen Baiwen replicated Lin Fan's lightning, the pressure it created was at the Meridian Opening level, much stronger than Lin Fan, filling the arena with thunderous roars that terrified everyone!
Xiang Beifei did not underestimate these bolts of lightning; even though he could see through Chen Baiwen's abilities, Chen Baiwen remained a Meridian Opening stage expert, and he would not be too careless.
However, his approach was also quite simple, pulling out a black iron ball and throwing it out.
The iron ball instantly exploded in the air above him, extending several small tendrils, which swiftly sucked in all the lightning.
Thunder Iron Gall, a tool from the black technology department, acted like a lightning rod, specifically designed to counter various lightning strikers desolate beasts.
Of course, it could also be used against these lightning bolts.
No restriction on using any tools in the match, so other people's high-tech gadgets could also be used, and Xiang Beifei didn't need to show off too much of his own power, relying on tools was quite sufficient.
After the Thunder Iron Gall absorbed the lightning, Xiang Beifei charged unobstructed to Chen Baiwen and threw a punch at him.
Yet, Chen Baiwen quickly retreated, and soon Xiang Beifei suddenly realized something and turned his fist to the side, slamming towards the left!
And on the left appeared a strong fist flame!
The fist flame flickered with exploding fire, compressing the air, crackling fiercely as if it would shatter the air with a single punch!
Xiang Beifei's fist collided with the fist flame on the left!
That fist flame turned out to be the one he used while facing Hou Chengwu!
Xiang Beifei clashed his fist with his self from a few hours ago, the intermingling fist flames explosively unleashed a powerful wave, the fiery fist flame sweeping out, stirring ripples, the terrifying waves making the ground buzz.
Chen Baiwen, by using his Time Trace, utilized Xiang Beifei's attacks to counter Xiang Beifei himself!
Most importantly, both being at the Meridian Opening stage, to ensure absolute success, Chen Baiwen enhanced the replicated fist flame's power, so when the two fist flames collided, the power unleashed was terrifying, causing many spectators to gasp in awe.
It was the most powerful clash that had occurred on the arena so far.
The most frightening aspect was that these two fist flames both seemed to come from Xiang Beifei!
However, the fist flame formed by the Time Trace was still smashed by the current Xiang Beifei. For Xiang Beifei, the one who best understood his own Rapid Flame had to be himself, so even if Chen Baiwen significantly increased the power of the trace fist flame, it would still be decoded by Xiang Beifei.
