1000 can instantly kill warriors below 100, that's normal.

200 can instantly kill warriors below 199, this is simply incomprehensible. Can such a thin difference, thinner than paper, be called a difference in strength?

"In theory, indeed, this is the only possibility. Everyone knows that the Traveler is only a three-star armor master, and his magic power is not much different from that of warriors of the same rank. Yesterday, the Traveler fought two at once, and he couldn't instantly kill the second one, which also proves this point. If I were to instantly kill warriors below 100, I could basically take out ten or eight without a problem, but I would get tired if there were more. However, apart from not being able to instantly kill, a group of 100 warriors can still be dealt with by an old man like me." Hong Zhen's expression was firm, and he was extremely confident in his own strength.

A three-star Red Steel armor master with 200 magic power, this is definitely a ridiculous number.

Hong Zhen only used this method to tell everyone: his combat power is at least five times that of the Traveler.

"Thank you, thank you, Grandpa Hong for your explanation. Today, Old Ma has obtained the Traveler's consent to hold a three-person match. In this match, there is also a familiar young hero, the eldest son of General Zhuo Feifan of the Red Dragon Federation, Zhuo Yinghao. Today, he will team up with three comrades to fight against Mr. Traveler. Grandpa Hong, I believe that after this battle, everyone will be even more convinced of your judgment."

Hong Zhen nodded slightly, indicating that the young man was good at speaking and that he was very satisfied.

The camera switched.

Four people appeared on the stage, the Traveler facing three, arrayed against three Red Dragon Federation young generals.

"Instant kill." Hong Zhen muttered as the match began. In the camera, Du Nan also cooperated with his statement, instantly killing the first person. Then, he continuously dodged under the attacks of the other two. Zhuo Yinghao and another comrade tried their best to kill him, but they could never get close to Du Nan.

"Interesting."

Old Hong praised, and Brother Ma immediately sought news: "What did Old Hong see?"

"Nothing, this child is really good. Two people surrounding him, yet he doesn't get hurt at all. His dodging technique is much better than some old veterans on the battlefield." As Old Hong spoke, he stroked his long beard and counted. After about two minutes, he softly said, "Second, instant kill."

The audience was slightly surprised.

About four or five seconds later, Du Nan waved his hand again, instantly killing the second enemy.

It completely matched what Hong Zhen had said.

After the second explosion, Du Nan's movements seemed a bit slower. Zhuo Yinghao's attacks were more fierce, nearly hitting Du Nan's mech several times, leaving deep marks. Old Hong also nodded in a show of approval and explained, "It seems that this kind of high-energy explosion also consumes a certain amount of magic power. After destroying the second person, the Traveler's movements clearly slowed down. If Zhuo Yinghao were more aggressive, he might have won this match. He is too cautious, which won't work. Now, it all depends on the Traveler's recovery ability. If he can recover in time, he might be able to destroy Zhuo Yinghao. If it takes too long, he will still lose."

The audience listened without minding.

Although they didn't want to see the Traveler lose, taking out two out of three in a one-on-three match was already a satisfactory result for them.

Who would dare say he really lost in a one-on-three match?

It would be strange if he didn't get criticized.

Ten minutes passed, and Du Nan still hadn't fully recovered. At this moment, Zhuo Yinghao suddenly found an opportunity. He opened the chest laser cannon and fiercely attacked the disoriented Du Nan. This heavy cannon made everyone's hearts leap to their throats.

Boom.

The Traveler narrowly avoided the laser cannon. At this moment, Zhuo Yinghao seemed like a victorious general.

He had already leaped high and raised his sword for a heavy strike.

The audience was shocked.

It turned out that Zhuo Yinghao's cannon was just a trap. He wanted to force the Traveler into a corner where he couldn't dodge.

Was he going to lose?

The audience was slightly disappointed, thinking that Mr. Traveler's combat experience was still too little. He had been instantly killing all along, and he hadn't had much chance to truly engage. So, at sixteen years old, it was not bad to win two out of three. It wasn't a problem.

"Wrong." Hong Zhen's eyes turned fierce, and he roared.

The audience was stunned.

Du Nan raised his hand lightly again, waved it, and Zhuo Yinghao instantly exploded.

The match ended.

The program staff and the audience were speechless. At this moment, the camera focused on Old Hong Zhen, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking very calm. Brother Ma took a while to react, then got up and bowed deeply to Old Hong, then simply said seven words: "I am ignorant, please explain."

"Hahaha, you little horse..."

Old Hong was very happy and laughed, "Sit down, this big turn, I just figured it out."

He sipped his fragrant tea, deliberately prolonging the suspense, and after enough time had passed, he slowly said, "After the second high-energy explosion, the Traveler indeed did not recover. Ten minutes was not enough; it might need thirty minutes, ten times the second one. I can't say for sure now. After Zhuo Yinghao's cannon attack, he... fell into the trap. I will explain this reversal with numbers. If the Traveler is 200, then the three opponents are around 180. He instantly killed one at the beginning, and then exploded the second one after three minutes."

At this point, Old Hong paused.

It seemed he was thinking about how to explain.

Then he continued, "The third time, the Traveler had probably recovered to 120, or even less, around 100. He needed more time to recover. However, Zhuo Yinghao's attacks clearly worried him, so he deliberately left a trap in his movement. Everyone listen to the data, it's actually very simple. Before Zhuo Yinghao fired the cannon, he still had about 150. After firing, his magic power dropped below 90. At this point, the Traveler, who had recovered to over 100, had the energy to instantly kill him."

At this point,

Old Hong did not continue, as this explanation was too simple. Everyone thought about it and understood.

It turned out,

The one who fell into the trap was not the Traveler, but the old veteran Zhuo Yinghao.

Roar!

After understanding, the mech fans roared wildly, cheering for their idol with the strongest voice. A sixteen-year-old, not yet graduated from the academy, had outmaneuvered an old veteran on the battlefield. What could be more satisfying than this?

Feeling the admiration of the audience, Old Hong felt very comfortable and smiled satisfactorily.

"Old Hong is mighty, indeed, you have hit the mark. Now, Brother Ma has finally obtained Mr. Traveler's consent to connect and talk to everyone... Are you all ready?" Brother Ma made a gesture to hush the excited audience: "Hello, Mr. Traveler."

"Hello, Old Hong, Brother Ma, good evening, everyone."

The audience below was extremely excited.

They had always thought that the Traveler was a cool and eccentric genius, not good at socializing. They didn't expect him to be so polite.

Old Hong was also very satisfied to hear that he was greeted first.

"Mr. Traveler, thank you for personally appearing to respond. Brother Ma has a question first, about Old Hong's explanation..." Brother Ma explained the 'high-energy explosion' and 'complete resonance' one by one, hoping to get confirmation from Du Nan. In fact, Brother Ma had already discussed with Du Nan earlier, and Du Nan did not mind revealing these small tricks.

"That's right." Du Nan personally admitted, Old Hong's face turned slightly red, and his eyes lit up. He then heard, "Although it's not the high-energy explosion that Old Hong mentioned, the theory and effect are exactly the same. I don't know the exact value of my magic power. If I am 200, then I can indeed instantly kill anyone below 199."

Rustle, rustle, rustle!

Du Nan's confirmation made Old Hong very excited, and the audience was ten times more excited. This 'instant kill' being explained made it even more terrifying, a hundred times more. This means: in one-on-one combat, if your magic power is less than the Traveler's, you are certain to die.

"Don't misunderstand, I don't think this ability is invincible. I haven't reached the four-star rank, and I don't know what changes occur when magic power crosses a bottleneck. Moreover, I believe there are some special cores and techniques that can defend against this 'instant kill.' I want to take this opportunity to thank Brother Ma. He provided this platform, allowing me to understand my own abilities more clearly. Although the solutions didn't succeed, they gave me some inspiration."

Du Nan bowed slightly, and Brother Ma hurriedly stood up to return the bow.

"And Old Hong..." Du Nan bowed to Hong Zhen with respect: "Thank you for coming and explaining the effect of this skill."

"Young man, you're good." Old Hong smiled, feeling even more pleased.

He nodded and then said, "Young man, you don't mind an old man like me meddling and solving your technique?"

"No, quite the opposite, I am very grateful to you. I have been constantly participating in matches, not for fame. Having this seemingly invincible technique, I was also very confused. To avoid becoming complacent, I was looking for a technique that could counter it. To find a weakness in this skill. I know that as a sixteen-year-old, no one would believe me. Only by experimenting myself could I find my own weaknesses in the process."

"Good, good, good!"

Hong Zhen roared, and the program staff were deafened and dazed.

He raised his thumb, and his smile deepened: "Young man, well done. Many people would become arrogant and consider themselves unparalleled after obtaining such a unique ability. I didn't expect you to have this awareness, and to be willing to reveal your secrets to find your weaknesses and improve your combat skills. It's rare, truly rare. An old man like me has to give you a thumbs up."

"Old Hong, you're too kind." Du Nan bowed and said, "I'm only a three-star, just starting out."

"Hahahaha..." Old Hong laughed wildly, completely ignoring the pale faces of the program staff. In the Tianyang Federation, he, the guardian deity, indeed acted without restraint: "Young man, you're really good. Many people think they are great at the three-star rank, but in your eyes, it's just the beginning... Good, very good. With this mindset, you truly deserve to have such an invincible ability. Good, very good!"

"Old Hong, Old Hong..."

Old Ma seized the opportunity to beg for mercy, saying, "Your happiness is the happiness of all Tianyang people. But please show some mercy, or we'll all end up in the hospital. Now, I believe the audience would like to interact with Mr. Traveler. Why don't you rest for a moment, and I have an important question to clarify."

Old Hong smiled and nodded.

He also knew that ordinary people had a very low tolerance for magic power sound waves.

Seeing Old Hong's indication, Old Ma immediately put on a serious expression and asked Du Nan, "Mr. Traveler, can you teach this unique ability to others? On behalf of all Tianyang people, if you are willing to teach this unique technique, no matter what conditions..."

"Hahahaha!" Old Hong didn't wait for Old Ma to finish, suddenly laughing wildly, as if he found something very funny: "Old Ma, you... hahahaha, you're a magic power warrior, how can you... hahahaha..."
