"Hand" spoke and once again attacked Ye Ling, unconcerned whether he could hit him or not. It seemed as if Ye Ling wanted to stall for time, "Hand" would oblige him indefinitely.
Although Ye Ling continued to evade "Hand's" attacks as usual, he kept "Hand's" words in mind.
"According to "Hand," there is a way to break "Brain's" causal technique, and my deliberate stalling is meaningless. In fact, I might regret it... Could it be that "Brain's" causal technique has a time limit? And it's a time limit specifically for me."
"Following this deduction, as long as I keep stalling, I will eventually see the future where the causal technique's time limit expires. At that time, I should be able to devise a corresponding countermeasure, and "Hand" can then estimate the limit of the future I can foresee based on my actions."
"After becoming the Primordial Chaos Master, my ability to foresee the future was greatly enhanced. Currently, my limit is ten minutes into the future... Such a long period is enough for me to avoid most dangers. Logically, even if "Hand" guesses my foresight limit, it shouldn't have much impact."
While dodging "Hand's" attacks, Ye Ling pondered his strategy and how to deal with "Brain's" causal technique.
"Currently, I am still unclear about the specific function of the "Brain's" arena. If I were to stall until the last ten minutes, this arena should change."
"Although this approach is risky, as long as I can foresee the last ten minutes, I should be able to find a way to break through within that time. Also... I need to guard against "Hand"."
Since "Hand" could not pose a significant threat to Ye Ling at the moment, Ye Ling's mind worked at full speed, quickly devising his counter-strategy.
"Ye Ling, seeing your silence, you must be thinking of a countermeasure again?"
"Hand" saw Ye Ling only evading and not speaking, and couldn't help but laugh. "You are indeed the smartest person I've ever met. No matter what desperate situation you face, you can always come up with a solution and escape.
"Your ability to grow under the watchful eyes of us observers is directly related to your agile mind, but..."
Ye Ling snapped back to attention, looked at "Hand" with a smile, and asked, "So, what are you trying to say?"
"Hand" smiled. "In "Brain's" arena, all your little schemes are meaningless. This place is called an arena precisely because everything relies on sheer strength."
Ye Ling sneered, "Whether it's meaningful or not is not for you to decide."
"Then let's wait and see."
"Hand" also chuckled and attacked Ye Ling again, while Ye Ling easily dodged.
And so, the two "battled" in the arena for nearly an hour. During this hour, neither side managed to land a single blow. Not only were the spectators in the stands dozing off, but even the host seemed on the verge of quitting.
After all, the observers in the stands were mostly at the level of Primordial Chaos supreme experts, and their eyes simply couldn't keep up with the speed of Ye Ling and "Hand."
To them, the arena was completely empty at this moment; there was no one to be seen!
Ye Ling had no intention of catering to the spectators in the stands. He continued to foresee "Hand's" attack trajectories and effortlessly evaded them in advance.
Suddenly, he foresaw a drastic change in the "Brain's" arena ten minutes later. The host directly announced that time was up and declared him defeated.
Then, he was directly erased by the "Brain's" arena, and the future thereafter became darkness.
"Is the time limit approaching?"
After foreseeing the future ten minutes hence, Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. However, his expression and movements remained unchanged, and he mechanically continued to dodge "Hand's" attacks.
He didn't want "Hand" to accurately estimate the duration of his foresight, so he planned to make his move a few minutes later.
"Hand" saw that the time limit was drawing nearer, and Ye Ling still showed no reaction. He couldn't help but say to Ye Ling, "I don't know if you're pretending, or if your foresight isn't that long. Ye Ling... your end is near."
Ye Ling smiled at "Hand." "Stop spreading rumors here. The future I can foresee is quite..."
Ye Ling's words trailed off as his pupils contracted slightly. His smile paused for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
This perfectly timed performance by Ye Ling was precisely captured by "Hand."
"It seems you've already seen your end..."
"Hand" smiled at Ye Ling. "You can now foresee four to six minutes into the future. Your power has been strengthened so much, no wonder I can't hit you no matter what."
Ye Ling's expression remained unchanged. He stopped pretending and said to "Hand," "It seems that within these last four minutes, if I don't kill you, I will be killed by 'Brain's' causal technique."
"Hand" also stopped his offensive, smiling at Ye Ling. "It's too late for you to try and attack me after seeing this outcome."
"Ye Ling, I admit that your current strength is above mine, but for you to want to kill me within four minutes is simply too arrogant."
Ye Ling observed the future four minutes ahead and said to "Hand," "Perhaps, I am not the one being arrogant?"
As Ye Ling finished speaking, he vanished from his spot, appearing behind "Hand" with runes surging in his palm.
"So fast!"
"Hand" realized Ye Ling had used Absolute Divine Movement to teleport behind him, his pupils contracting sharply. He immediately tried to defend himself.
However, Ye Ling's speed was far superior to "Hand's." By now, it was too late for "Hand" to defend.
Ye Ling stood behind "Hand," placing his palm on "Hand's" back, and said calmly, "It only takes me one second to kill you."
Ink Domain unfolded, and "Hand" was instantly decomposed into text, then brutally and physically erased by Ye Ling.
In an instant, "Hand's" presence vanished from the arena.
The host, seeing Ye Ling instantly kill "Hand," was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, "Spectacular! Ye Ling, the contestant, has instantly eliminated 'Hand' with lightning speed! Let us congratulate Ye Ling on his victory!!!"
As the host's shout echoed, thunderous cheers erupted from the arena. Countless observers shouted Ye Ling's name, creating a fervent yet eerie scene.
However, Ye Ling's expression remained unchanged. He turned to face the other side of the arena.
There, "Body" slowly appeared.
Even after Ye Ling killed "Hand," the four-minute time limit of the arena did not disappear.
Four minutes later, he would still die.
In other words, what Ye Ling had to do now was to kill all the opponents in the arena within the remaining four minutes!
