Under the boost of the magic forcefully injected by the Ring of Souls, Lin Ran's light cannon charge immediately escalated. The surging magic within it seemed to devour the very air around him.
The contestants, witnessing this, could no longer contain themselves.
"This guy?!"
"If I'm not mistaken, did he just instantly recover an amount of magic that's completely incomprehensible?!"
"Uh… what I can understand is still understandable… roughly… roughly about a quarter…"
"What kind of monstrous recovery ability allows one to achieve this?!"
"Given Lin Ran's current exaggerated magic capacity, even divine-grade medicine might not be able to achieve a quarter instant recovery!"
"And he accomplished it so effortlessly without consuming any single-use items?!"
"It seems to be some kind of secret art… logically, such a technique should be a trump card, yet he's using it so casually?"
"Ahem… perhaps he possesses the ability to treat that so-called secret art as a minor skill?"
"Or, to be even bolder, perhaps it's simply a minor skill for him."
"Impossible, impossible… something this obviously groundbreaking could never be a minor skill…"
"It's likely that Lin Ran felt there was an opportunity to overwhelm the opponent, which is why he used it now."
"…"
With their keen senses for aura, they could clearly discern the immense value of Lin Ran's recovery, and were all astounded.
However, perhaps due to their lack of emotion, the opponent's heroic spirits showed no hesitation in Lin Ran's extraordinary display, continuing to charge their light cannon to its limit with all their might.
Based on the outward aura alone, the light cannon gathered by the opponent's combined strength of seven people and two dragons, in terms of magic convergence and visual thickness, was superior to Lin Ran's.
However, Lin Ran's light cannon was far from simple in appearance…
Because, at this moment, Lin Ran's eyes were also not idle, frantically injecting divine might into the continuously accumulating light cannon.
But infusing divine might onto such an exaggerated amount of energy required an extremely vast consumption of magic.
Especially since Lin Ran was currently in a divine artifact fusion state, which itself was a tremendous drain, his magic was depleting like a leaky faucet.
"Magic is dropping so fast… even with such a massive base, he's losing it this quickly, the efficiency is terrifying!"
"Doesn't this imply that Lin Ran's output ceiling has reached a level we can't comprehend?"
Isaac's eyes narrowed slightly as he silently clenched his fist.
As a former assassin, his sensitivity to burst damage was exceptionally high.
He placed particular importance on output efficiency.
This was unavoidable. For someone who used to live on the edge, failure to unleash all skills and magic in a surprise attack could lead to being counter-killed.
Therefore, output efficiency naturally became a crucial metric for assessing an assassin's strength.
For example, consider someone with a total energy coefficient of 100, but who can only output about 2-3 points of magic per second for damage.
Contrast this with someone who has a total energy coefficient of 60, but can output 50 points of magic per second for damage…
It was self-evident who would be more suitable as an assassin.
In a head-on clash, who would have a higher chance of winning was also quite clear.
Thus, output efficiency was often an important standard for measuring strength.
Generally speaking, individuals with higher total energy capacity would have a correspondingly lower percentage output efficiency.
After all, improving efficiency was far more difficult than increasing energy capacity, and efficiency did not scale with increased capacity.
Seeing Lin Ran's torrent of magic, like a bursting dam, and thinking of his own meager trickle, he couldn't help but feel a sense of inadequacy.
Even Caesar and Arthur, who had clearly hidden much of their strength, were now gasping in disbelief.
But before they could emerge from their shock, Lin Ran, whose total magic had reached 50% due to the light cannon's accumulation, suddenly leaped, and his total magic returned to 75%!
This time, even Adam Heavy-Hammer, who had been silent for an immeasurable amount of time, could no longer remain calm. He shot up to his feet, the light in his optical sensors flickering, lost in thought.
The others were naturally even more stunned, their mouths agape, struggling to find words.
A repeat performance???
And such an unbelievably monstrous skill???
"Instant recovery of 25% magic… he's used it twice now…"
"This… this… can this skill really be used continuously?!"
Jin Tai Guang, who had also been silently observing for a long time, was no longer composed.
After losing the match and being mercilessly humiliated by Lin Ran, his only motivation for watching the game was to see Lin Ran also fall, the worse the defeat, the better.
Having watched with extreme frustration for so long, and finally seeing a glimmer of hope, only to have it overshadowed by Lin Ran's performance, how could he accept this?
Although no one responded to him due to his notorious reputation, the discussion clearly revolved around Lin Ran's monstrous recovery.
Caesar sighed leisurely:
"Actually, have you all considered that his recovery skill only seems less astonishing because it's on him?"
"Otherwise, it would absolutely shock our eyeballs out."
Arthur almost thought he misheard, glancing at Caesar with a wry smile:
"Eyeballs not shocked out yet?! They were already shocked out ages ago!"
"And are you perhaps speaking in reverse due to sheer astonishment?"
Caesar lifted his head and glared at Arthur irritably:
"You know nothing! That's exactly what I mean!"
"Do you know why? You dolt!"
"The reason this skill doesn't seem *so* outrageous right now… even though it's already outrageously so… I still say it *looks* not outrageous enough…"
"It's primarily because of Lin Ran's mana bar, which is so long it's almost endless!"
"His current magic capacity is definitely crushing all of us…"
"And even with a mana bar this long, he can instantly recover 25% magic using that recovery skill…"
"If this skill were applied to us, wouldn't that mean we could instantly recover all our magic? A full resurrection on the spot?"
"Tell me, tell me! If that were the case, wouldn't the scene be much more spectacular than it is now?"
