While this might sound like utter nonsense at first glance...
Why deliberately help the enemy instead of using his destructive power as intended!
This looked like he was just asking for trouble.
But Lin Ran did exactly that.
He didn't just do it, he attacked from both ends.
Energy from his right hand was injected into the shoulder, and energy from his left hand was inserted into the wrist.
Crack!
Immediately, Jin Taiguang's arm expanded by a small circumference at an astonishing speed, and the flow of energy within it also became many times faster.
"You, you, you..."
Jin Taiguang was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
The two of them were fighting a one-on-one battle, and one of them suddenly and inexplicably started helping the enemy mid-fight...
Wasn't this guy an idiot, messing with him for no reason?!
What was Lin Ran thinking?!
If he hadn't seen Lin Ran brutally defeat the peak seventh-tier powerhouse Turing before, Jin Taiguang would have thought he was an idiot!
But now, even with his toes, he knew that no matter who the idiot was, it definitely wasn't Lin Ran...
So what did he want to do?
With his mind still racing, Jin Taiguang decided to temporarily ignore it and focus on continuing his interrupted attack rhythm.
Shining Star Heavenly Cloud Split!
Jin Taiguang threw another punch, this time using a world-shattering skill.
But unfortunately, the hand Jin Taiguang used to punch was the one Lin Ran had pressed.
And so...
Boom!
The entire arena erupted in an extremely dazzling mushroom cloud, as if it had swallowed a small atomic bomb.
The immense power unleashed by this powerful explosion directly shook the protective shield of the entire arena, making it sway. The effect was incredibly potent.
"Huh?! What just happened?!"
"I don't know, I didn't see it clearly either..."
"I only saw Lin Ran lightly touch that Jin Taiguang, and then Jin Taiguang punched him back in annoyance..."
"And then, everything was swallowed by flames..."
"My goodness, what in the world is going on?!"
The sudden turn of events on the stage left the spectators in the stands stunned.
Even the experienced fighters were a little confused about what was happening.
An explosion? Where did the explosion come from?
And those few who could see what was happening eagerly began to show off.
Isaac, the Doomsday Bell of the Byzantine Empire, was the first to jump out, tut-tutting and praising:
"Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!"
"As expected of Lin Ran, to pull off such a sneaky move..."
"By using the opposing forces of the two undercurrents he injected into Jin Taiguang's arm beforehand, he blocked a part of Jin Taiguang's meridians!"
"That fool Jin Taiguang didn't realize this at all and was in a hurry to attack without resolving the internal conflict!"
Caesar nodded approvingly and continued Isaac's words:
"Exactly."
"And although these two undercurrents seemed to greatly amplify Jin Taiguang's energy, that energy was chaotic and uncontrollable, acting purely as a side effect within his body."
"But Lin Ran's slyness was in initially controlling those two undercurrents to cooperate with Jin Taiguang's movements, making Jin Taiguang truly believe that those two energies were his own..."
Arthur also laughed:
"So when Jin Taiguang made his move, those two undercurrents backfired, directly trapping the accumulated energy in his arm and preventing it from being released."
"But he couldn't find any way to resolve it, so he was simply unable to unleash it, causing himself to explode!"
So that's what happened!
After hearing the combined explanation from the three, many people finally understood.
Their gaze towards Lin Ran immediately became more serious and respectful.
What a formidable opponent, with a comprehensive, no-weakness combat style, and yet so proficient in calculation...
So, what about Jin Taiguang, who endured that explosion?
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Kid, I have to admit, your brain is indeed quite useful..."
"But if you think you can cripple my arm just like that, you're still a bit short!"
As the smoke cleared, Jin Taiguang's figure emerged.
When the explosion occurred, Lin Ran had directly dodged and was not caught in the blast.
Therefore, Jin Taiguang, who bore the brunt of the explosion alone, looked rather tragic.
His entire body was covered in ash and char, and he was riddled with countless wounds.
Especially the arm that was at the center of the explosion, it was a horrific sight.
It could only be said that the internal backlash effect was too powerful, making even Jin Taiguang, whose physical condition was comparable to a beast, unable to withstand it.
However, Jin Taiguang didn't seem discouraged, rather he was full of disdain.
"After messing around with you this long, it's about time this is over!"
"Now I'll let you know why my Shining Star family can stand at the pinnacle of the entire Kimchi country!"
"If it were just for simple combat assistance, then the Shining Star talent would be unnecessary..."
"Its true meaning is transformation!"
Jin Taiguang sneered and shook his right arm:
"Let me teach you a good lesson about your self-righteous face!"
"Watch closely, this is the combat mode our Shining Star people usually use..."
"Super Shining Star Form!"
As he spoke, Jin Taiguang suddenly unleashed an unparalleled powerful aura, and his entire body was bathed in a faint golden light.
The previously flowing golden light had all vanished without a trace, turning into drops of liquid that entered his body.
The next moment, Jin Taiguang's hair suddenly stood on end, and it inexplicably turned golden.
His pupils, initially dark, turned a glossy pale blue.
Seeing Jin Taiguang's sudden change, Lin Ran couldn't help but be stunned.
Of course, it wasn't because he was impressed by Jin Taiguang's newfound strength, but rather because this thing felt incredibly familiar...
Good heavens, this was a perfect Super Saiyan imitation!
It's just that the physical enhancement of Jin Taiguang's pirated Super Saiyan didn't seem as exaggerated as the original.
But in terms of becoming stronger, he had undeniably become much stronger.
Seeing Lin Ran hesitate, Jin Taiguang thought he had intimidated him and burst into laughter:
"Hahahahahahaha!"
"Now you know how powerful I am? But it's too late!"
"I'm going to stamp my shoe prints all over your face right now!"
