Pretending To Be A Boss

Xi He's lips twitched slightly. Tang Xian, however, looked completely calm, even though Xi He couldn't see it through the mask.

Times change, indeed.

In the Human World, Tang Xian wasn't considered foul-mouthed, at least not one to swear at people much.

But sarcasm and the art of trolling—how to properly "ky" and argue—he considered himself somewhat proficient.

On Zhihu, on Weibo, these were simply essential self-defense tactics.

On the other hand, Xi He, who once delighted in angering others, seemed outdated to the current Tang Xian.

The one who could only grit his teeth in response to being mocked by Tang Xian had become a sharp-tongued ranter, and Xi He was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Even after more than twenty years, everything could have a rational explanation.

"You are the only one among us without a talent; that myriad beast behind you is no match for me in combat, and your teammate Akasi is just at the end of his tether. I'll make sure you die in agony," Xi He said.

Xi He decided no longer to tolerate it and went straight to action.

Tang Xian didn't want to waste words with Xi He anymore, either.

The foremost thought in his mind was to tear Xi He apart, almost an instinct.

This struck Tang Xian as somewhat odd, but he quickly came to terms with it.

With the partial recovery of his memory came the natural resurgence of some subjective feelings.

His younger self probably had an intense desire to tear apart those who bullied him.

"Tang Feiji, you're in charge of protecting Tang Suoye and Yuan Wu; if anything goes wrong, the responsibility is on you. Akasi, let's join forces this time and kill this annoying guy," Tang Xian said.

Akasi nodded, the rage deep within him ceasing to grow and even beginning to fade bit by bit.

The state of tyranny transformation wouldn't last much longer. In contrast, Xi He's talent flare-up could still sustain for a while.

The atmosphere once again became oppressive.

"I'll bring your corpse back to the Throne and give it to Constantine; he'll be most pleased," Xi He said.

No sooner had he finished speaking, Xi He's figure moved.

In that instant, he burned all his talents.

Every talent he hadn't used against Akasi was unleashed at that moment.

Xi He's combat ability suddenly increased by another notch.

He intended to end this battle as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Akasi also pushed his speed to the limit.

As Xi He prepared to strike down Tang Xian, he stepped in front of Tang Xian.

The tyrant and the order keeper, like shield and spear.

Being well-fed could greatly enhance Tang Xian's physical abilities, but he still couldn't keep up with their speed in such circumstances.

However, he could see, with his dynamic vision, the figures of Akasi and Xi He.

His computing power was outstanding; even from a young age, though devoid of combat-related talents and dubbed as a waste, Tang Xian's learning ability was in no way inferior to theirs.

The fight seemed to return to a stalemate between two monsters.

Only this time, Xi He's offensive desire was significantly stronger.

After the full talent flare-up, the struggle between Akasi and Xi He became even more difficult.

Tang Xian just stood still and never moved; the airflow was like a swift current or sharp blades.

He quietly felt the presence of two figures moving to the extreme.

From a distance, it looked like a red and a black line circling around Tang Xian.

Tang Feiji watched this scene in some surprise from afar.

He remembered that guy with red hair dancing wildly with incredible speed.

Although he didn't interact much with the members of Tang Xian's small group, Tang Feiji still remembered that there were a few "big guys" in the group, powerful creatures.

He felt increasingly frustrated; in the domain of Hidden Kirin in the Mire of Beasts, Tang Feiji realized he was no match for these two humans.

And Xi He was even more terrifying.

The power increase after talent flare-up was exceedingly comprehensive.

Xi He's talent flare-up state was more powerful than Song Que.

Tang Feiji had to admit that even in his prime, he would have to seriously deal with him.

That such a being was human, he truly found it a pity...

After all, what rules in this world could surpass those of the power of Eden?

Akasi and Tang Feiji were both aware of Tang Xian's secret.

After a sufficiently long and intense fight, Xi He gradually relaxed his vigilance towards Tang Xian.

He was convinced through observation that Tang Xian's physical performance far exceeded that of ordinary people, yet hadn't reached the level of an experimental subject.

Let alone compare with the tyrannized Akasi or Xi He in a talent flare-up state.

In the state of high-speed movement, Tang Xian tried to make a move a few times but failed to act.

The gap in speed was simply too great; he couldn't touch Xi He at all.

At that moment, Akasi suddenly revealed a flaw.

Xi He didn't miss this opportunity; a deadly punch headed towards Akasi.

Akasi was the biggest threat.

But it was then that Tang Xian acted as though he'd anticipated all of this.

His cooperation with Akasi had already begun; Akasi played the bait and Tang Xian the fisherman.

Xi He had actually seen through it all. Although he couldn't see through Tang Xian, he could see through Akasi.

But in Pyramid's world, what abilities could Tang Xian possibly have?

This Masked Chopper Hero, if he truly was that useless Number Seven, was not to be feared.

Time seemed to freeze in that second.

Xi He's fist surged with a terrifying pressure towards Akasi.

Akasi stopped by Tang Xian, protecting his chest with a dagger.

But his fragile body was likely unable to withstand Xi He's full-force blow even with the defense.

While Tang Xian, at a slower speed, reached out in an attempt to grab Xi He.
