Chapter 155

The star above Great Divinity had already risen above everyone's heads. Under the sunlight, Gu Ding's black mech reflected a faint layer of white light.

The black mech's knees bent slightly before it suddenly exerted strength and leaped forward, heading straight for Emily.

Emily stood rooted to the ground. Even with the mech on, Gu Ding's speed and strength were nothing in her eyes. Therefore, she had no intention of dodging at all. Instead, she planned to end the battle as fast as she could with her strongest abilities to avoid any accidents.

Gu Ding's mech leaped in front of her in an instant. In her eyes, Gu Ding's movements were too slow. She lowered her body slightly and swung her dagger toward the black mech's chest. Based on her understanding of mechs, that was where most mechs' energy tanks were located. Once the energy tank was destroyed, Gu Ding's mech would basically be scrapped. If he wanted to use it again, he would have to replace some of the circuit boards near the energy tank.

A spiral energy with terrifying penetrative power shot out from the dagger. Just as it was about to touch the mech, Gu Ding dodged it with a strange twist.

Emily was obviously taken aback by this scene. Gu Ding's movements were obviously not as fast as he was, but for some reason, his strange and twisted movements allowed him to avoid his attack just in time. The spiral energy's penetrative power could even penetrate a spaceship like the Grey-faced Buzzard, let alone a small mech. She could have won the battle with one blow, but unfortunately, she missed.

Gu Ding broke out in a cold sweat. Emily's abilities were much stronger than Gu Ding had expected. Her attack speed was far beyond what Gu Ding could capture with his eyes. However, his long-term training in the Ultimate Arts allowed his body to instinctively react to danger, allowing him to avoid the fatal blow just now.

"The difference between you and her isn't just in strength. It's also in gene stability, cell strength, cell resilience, movement speed, nerve reaction speed, primary power, combat experience, and many other aspects." Neptune was not optimistic about Gu Ding. Based on the current data, no matter how he calculated, Gu Ding's chances of winning were zero.

Gu Ding did not refute Neptune's opinion. Instead, he charged toward Emily again. Emily sidestepped and appeared next to Gu Ding. She swung her dagger again and a spiral energy shot toward the right side of the Black Mech's waist.

Just as the attack was about to strike its body, the black mecha twisted its waist in a peculiar manner once again, narrowly evading the attack.

Seeing this happen for the second time, Emily roughly knew what was going on. She was a little envious of Gu Ding for having such powerful combat instincts. Moreover, his combat instincts were based on a very special type of martial arts. The martial arts were somewhat similar to Ultimate Arts, but they were also clearly different.

Gu Ding was not happy that he had dodged his opponent's attack twice based on his body's instincts. In his opinion, it was just luck. He could not catch Emily's movements at all.

He was only able to hit Emily because of the interference from Bard's mental chains and Bente's ten times gravity. But now, it was a one-on-one battle. The negative effects on Emily no longer existed.

"It seems like Ultimate Arts Level 7 isn't enough …" Gu Ding, who was in a passive state, knew that it would be a waste of time if he continued.

"Activating Level 8 will allow you to keep up with her speed, but it won't do much. The damage you can do to her is limited. Moreover, Level 8 is a huge burden on your body. You can only activate it for half an hour at most. " Neptune did not say anything to stop him. He knew that Gu Ding would not give up until he had tried everything.

"But if I don't activate Level 8, I won't stand a chance." Gu Ding was well aware of his current situation.

The discussion with Neptune did not take too long. Gu Ding activated Ultimate Arts Level 8, which increased his combat effectiveness by twenty times. It was double that of Ultimate Arts Level 7.

As soon as Ultimate Arts Level 8 was activated, Emily immediately noticed that Gu Ding's speed had increased significantly. His speed had doubled, and even Gu Ding's footwork had become more unpredictable.

The black mech's speed increased in an instant, and it appeared in front of Emily like a ghost. Emily reacted quickly and slashed sideways to the left. The spiral force of her dagger went straight for the black mech's right arm joint. It was obvious that she was trying to dislocate the mech's arm.

This time, Gu Ding saw his opponent's movements clearly and reacted immediately. He took a step back with his right foot and moved to the right. Then, he clenched his left hand and swung his fist toward Emily's head.

Emily's close combat ability was not weak, but when she encountered a freak like Gu Ding who knew Ultimate Arts, she was slightly inferior in comparison.

Gu Ding's counterattack was obviously unexpected to her. She hurriedly raised her arm to block the black mech's huge fist. The three hundred thousand points from the first attack and the six hundred thousand points from the second attack were instantly stacked, resulting in an attack that was equivalent to a martial arts practitioner with a Cell Index of nine hundred thousand.

This level of attack was almost the limit that a Rank-9 Gene Body could achieve.

Even Emily was blasted a few steps back by the huge force. Although it did not cause any damage, it was a great shock to Emily.

Gu Ding's mech only had a base attack of ten thousand points, but now it had an attack that was close to a Rank-10 Gene Body. This meant that Gu Ding's special abilities and combat skills had increased his combat effectiveness by almost a hundred times. This kind of thing was simply unimaginable.

What did it mean to have a hundred times increase? It meant that even after Gu Ding reached Rank-8 Gene Body, he could still fight two levels above him. Before reaching Rank-8 Gene Body, it was not unusual to be able to fight two levels above him because every two levels above him would increase his combat effectiveness by ten times. However, after reaching Rank-8 Gene Body, each level above him would increase his combat effectiveness by ten times.

Emily could not help but be curious about Gu Ding. She wanted to know what kind of special abilities Gu Ding had.

When they saw Emily being blasted back by Gu Ding's attack, the Interstellar Pirates finally realized how powerful Gu Ding was. Although Gu Ding was currently wearing a mech, his basic combat effectiveness was much stronger than his Primordial self. However, Emily was a Rank-10 Gene Body. Being able to force a Rank-10 Gene Body to retreat meant that her combat effectiveness was not far from a Rank-10 Gene Body after putting on the mech.

After his successful attack, Gu Ding continued to tangle with her. Close combat was his forte. Although Emily was stronger than him, her every attack carried a terrifying force that was enough to destroy the mech. However, as long as he was careful, he would not lose the battle in a short period of time.

Emily, on the other hand, found herself in a strange predicament. She was clearly stronger than her opponent, but there was no way she could win the battle.

When she saw Gu Ding coming at her again, she waved the dagger in her right hand and condensed primary power in her left hand. She pressed it toward the chest of the black mech. A spiral force burst out of the dagger and shot toward the head of the black mech.

Gu Ding tilted his head and avoided the spiral force. As for the attack from Emily's left hand, Gu Ding was not afraid at all. He swung his fist and punched it, meeting force with force.

When the fist and palm collided, Gu Ding felt a huge force travel through his mechanical arm. He hurriedly retreated, diverting the huge force to his feet, leaving two long and deep scratches on the ground.

Emily, on the other hand, did not feel any better. She only took half a step back with her right foot to neutralize Gu Ding's force, but her arm still felt sore and numb. She had clearly felt that Gu Ding's attack just now had increased in strength. It was no longer something a Rank-9 Gene Body could achieve. That force should be about the same as a Rank-10 Gene Body with a Cell Index of 1.8 million points, which was not far from hers. This shocked her. 'Gu Ding's attack has increased again?' If she had not wrapped her palm with primary power, she would have been injured by Gu Ding's attack.

Gu Ding's head-on clash this time made him realize just how terrifying primary power was. Just now, he felt as if he had struck a hard metal, and there was even a strong recoil. He finally understood why Sharp and the others could use primary power to clash with Biggie's saber.

However, Gu Ding also realized that Emily had taken half a step back. This meant that his attack was not ineffective against Emily. Even though Emily had used primary power, she still took half a step back. This meant that his attack could still cause damage to her.

Gu Ding, who was aware of this, began to feel a little excited. He pounced toward Emily again.

Emily was having a headache with Gu Ding's entanglement. He could always dodge her attacks. Each attack from the opponent was more ferocious than the last. She also realized that Gu Ding did not seem to know fatigue and was fearless. Having dealt with many people, she knew that this kind of person was terrifying. She frowned when she saw Gu Ding pouncing toward her again.

The black mech's fist quickly collided with Emily's palm again. Emily felt that her opponent's strength was significantly reduced this time. Gu Ding's black mech flew backward from the impact of her own strength.

In fact, after three times of stacking damage, the stacking effect would be reduced to zero. Gu Ding's attack only did 600,000 points of damage.

Gu Ding, who had just steadied himself, pounced again. His black fist collided with Lilliath's palm again, and Gu Ding took a few steps back.

This time, Emily clearly felt that Gu Ding's strength had increased again. She vaguely sensed that Gu Ding's ability was something like Damage Stacking or Damage Multiplier. However, there was a limit to the number of times this ability could be used. Once the limit was reached, the effect would be reduced to zero and the calculation would be reset. Therefore, the damage of Gu Ding's attack would be reduced again.

Before Gu Ding could pounce on Emily for the third time, he saw a figure rushing toward him from a short distance away.

The figure was not very tall. It was Sharp. On his shoulder was the gigantic Biggie …
