Using Wood as a Sword

Chapter 352 The True Source? Brotherly Unity in the Arena Strike?

"This skill of absorbing others' energy and magic... it doesn't seem like the first time I've seen it..."

"Generally, such powerful skills often come with terrifying side effects."

"But I don't see any of that on Lin Ran at all!"

Arthur sighed in admiration.

Caesar stroked his chin:

"And his absorption skill is particularly fast..."

"If others' skills are like small water pipes, his can definitely be called a high-pressure water gun."

"From my observation, his absorption skill seems to be usable as long as there's skin contact, and the effect is quite perverse."

"And it's not just absorbing the main body, it seems he can even absorb pure energy bodies..."

"I really don't know where he got this strange ability, which is neither a talent nor a bloodline..."

Upon hearing this, Catherine suddenly made a mysterious gesture and said softly:

"Back when Ye Yun was dominating the world, everyone was also curious about this..."

"Initially, Ye Yun's official statement was that they could gradually develop skills by mastering the world's elemental power."

"But later facts proved that Ye Yun's abilities were sourced from killing others and devouring their corpses..."

Petrey's expression changed, and he quickly made a shushing gesture:

"Shh..."

"We mustn't speak carelessly about things that are currently unclear..."

"Although the source of Lin Ran's abilities is unclear, the only thing certain is that it's definitely not obtained through killing people and devouring corpses."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have let go of opponents with special abilities like us along the way."

"Those he killed were either heinous villains or the cause of grudges."

"Such reckless speculation can easily lead to trouble."

Catherine's eyes also dimmed, realizing she had been a bit out of line, and she quickly shut her mouth.

...

Turning back to Yuan on the stage.

Although he was terrified, reality would not change according to individual will.

As energy was transferred, Yuan's movements became increasingly sluggish.

Yuan indeed wanted to resist, but he could find no way to counter it, and could only watch helplessly as he was completely drained.

"Taking off!"

After completely draining Yuan, Lin Ran grabbed his neck and violently threw him away.

On the stands, Hanzo gloomily caught Yuan and stared coldly at Lin Ran:

"Alright, you won..."

"But... with just such means, you won't be able to laugh until the end!"

Lin Ran laughed heartily:

"Then come on, I really want to see if your strength is as tough as your mouth!"

Hanzo silently nodded and looked at Yuan in his arms, who was already disoriented from Lin Ran's draining:

"Don't worry, brother... I will fight on, taking your share of the effort with me, as we promised!"

After speaking, he gently handed Yuan to his teammate behind him and then stepped onto the stage without hesitation:

"Come on, Lin Ran of Dragon Country..."

"Let me show you the power of us Sakura warriors!"

Lin Ran looked at Hanzo speechlessly:

"Where do you get your confidence... Didn't you see me beat your brother to a pulp?"

"With someone like you, who was neck and neck with your brother, who gave you the confidence to be so arrogant here?"

Hanzo chuckled and shook his head:

"You don't understand what brothers are..."

"Beat Yuan? No! Not at all!"

"The reason you could defeat him was mainly because the real him was always by my side..."

As he spoke, Hanzo suddenly pulled out a strange helmet from his spatial storage device and threw it to the ground.

In the next instant, the helmet thrown by Hanzo underwent a peculiar transformation.

It first expanded downwards like a holographic projection, forming shoulder armor and then chest armor.

Later, even leg armor and a katana weapon behind it all appeared vividly...

Lin Ran was all too familiar with this armor.

Wasn't this the combat-type alloy light armor that Yuan had used on the Amakusa Taro ship before?

How did it end up in Hanzo's hands now? Was Hanzo going to wear it himself to increase his resistance as an archer?

But that wouldn't conflict with Yuan wearing it to fight earlier. He could just use it after Yuan was defeated...

Before Lin Ran could figure it out, Hanzo suddenly slapped the armor.

Then, the armor, which was empty inside, as if possessed, inexplicably began to emit a green light, and even started to move erratically.

Is this... a type of puppet technique? The skill seems quite impressive!

At least, it's worth studying.

As someone who understood the craft and had delved deep into it, Lin Ran immediately activated his dual pupils, staring intently at the armor being manipulated by Hanzo.

Meanwhile, Hanzo, seeing Lin Ran's suddenly serious attitude, assumed Lin Ran was already astonished and confused, and said with a smug smile:

"Heh... You haven't seen this before... the secret inheritance of my great Sakura Empire!"

"Although brother has fallen, his spirit stands with me forever... the true Yuan never perishes!"

"Now, let his untamed spirit and I defeat you, the evil great demon king!"

"And I am especially grateful to him for helping me gather so much information about you in the previous match, relying solely on his physical body..."

"With his contribution, I have formulated a perfect counter-plan, and you'll definitely be satisfied!"

"Just a mere energy absorption, and you think you can defeat my brother and me with this one move? Wishful thinking!"

After speaking, Hanzo glanced at the still-running countdown and slammed his hand on the ground:

"Come forth, true great heroes!"

"Come forth, true great dragons!"

"Someone has severely offended your dignity before, and now it is time for revenge..."

"Let me hear your roars!"

"Crush the enemy, elevate my divine might..."

"Let the entire world grovel at your feet!"

Not only him, but even the armor that was originally worn by Yuan made the exact same movements as Hanzo.

Although the armor could not make any sound, the way its green light flickered, representing its eyes, clearly showed that a lot of spiritual power was being used.

With the combined efforts of the two brothers, one orange-colored heroic spirit after another rose from the ground, and the dragon souls that had just been extinguished by Lin Ran reappeared one after another.

However, this time, the dragon souls, in addition to green, also had a touch of deep blue.
