Chapter 1213 - Chapter 1213 - 1313: Is My Strength Getting Weaker?

Of course, this one or two percent sensitivity enhancement is already quite high at the level of Taichu Zhenren.

If this one or two percent sensitivity is converted to the sensitivity of Ye Tianfan's strength, it's worth several Ye Tianfan's sensitivity values.

Thus, although the sensitivity increase seems small, when calculated accurately in terms of speed, it's quite substantial.

Moreover, Taichu Zhenren can only try this method initially; if increasing sensitivity allows him to engage with the Big Fireworks for a while, he will have time during this period to think about how to actually deal with this Big Fireworks.

Taichu Zhenren even considered having Ye Tianfan take him into the Chaos Divine Pearl, then leaving this place to continue moving forward in another direction.

But Taichu Zhenren realized quickly this wouldn't work. After all, if they change direction every time they encounter a strong enemy, how many directions are there for them to switch to? Besides, this would lead to another consequence where they go too far, and the enemies they encounter surround them from behind.

At that point, Taichu Zhenren and his companions would cry for help to the heavens and earth, but nothing would respond.

To escape safely then, would be nearly impossible unless Ye Tianfan sacrifices himself to fully stimulate the Chaos Divine Pearl, integrating it with the Chaos Treasure Lotus for a chance to break free.

However, the odds of escaping are fairly low, given Ye Tianfan's spiritual power isn't abundant enough to push both the Chaos Divine Pearl and Chaos Treasure Lotus; it's almost an insurmountable task.

Taichu Zhenren, after casting the Phantom Swordsmanship, flashed behind the Muscular Fireworks and fiercely slashed with his freehand sword, using an extremely quick speed without a follow-up action, disappearing again to another spot.

At this time, the Muscular Fireworks sluggishly swung its big machete towards the location where Taichu Zhenren had just appeared, its speed was significantly slower, as if one whole beat behind Taichu Zhenren.

Taichu Zhenren reappeared elsewhere, disappeared once more, and again wounded the Muscular Fireworks, vanishing as before.

The wounded Fireworks then realized what happened, retaliating to where Taichu Zhenren had last struck.

Taichu Zhenren hesitated to continue attacking; he was puzzled by why this Fireworks was so slow.

Previously, when the Fireworks was enormous, its speed exceeded Taichu Zhenren's, even causing him harm with its vines. But now, with its size shrinking, its speed significantly lagged, failing to surpass Taichu Zhenren.

Although Taichu Zhenren employed the Phantom Sword Dance to enhance his speed, he didn't feel that his execution surpassed this Big Fireworks.

However, in reality, Taichu Zhenren's speed surpassed the Fireworks significantly, making its speed a whole beat slower, which fueled Taichu Zhenren's curiosity.

Nonetheless, observing its muscles and the damage he caused, Taichu Zhenren suspected the Muscular Fireworks exchanged speed for increased strength by transforming.

Previously, the colossal Fireworks caused significant damage just from its weight, but the Muscular Fireworks now possessed absurd strength.

Initially, Taichu Zhenren assumed this human-like Fireworks would boost its power temporarily, but seeing its enduring slow pace, he understood its form might be permanent, trading speed for strength.

Of course, these were only Taichu Zhenren's assumptions, requiring extensive testing and probing to validate.

Even if he confirmed his hypothesis, maintaining caution was essential since the creature may feign weakness, trying to lure Taichu Zhenren into vulnerability.

Hence, despite some initial guesses, experimenting carefully was crucial. Even if it indeed traded speed for damage, it couldn't guarantee peace of mind.

Since strength can morph into speed and vice versa, Taichu Zhenren deemed this scenario highly possible.

After all, the Muscular Fireworks exuded a strength-focused masculine form; if it slimmed, would its strength traits refill its speed attributes, increasing speed but reducing power?

Even if sacrificing strength for speed, Taichu Zhenren thought it wouldn't completely lose strength.

After all, speed converts into power through momentum; thus, trading strength for speed was deemed unwise, yet it allowed Taichu Zhenren to injure the Fireworks.

Taichu Zhenren hoped the Fireworks wouldn't shift to a speed-dominant form; he knew its speed could surpass his.

And this was merely its huge form's speed. If converted further, Taichu Zhenren speculated its speed could multiply several times over his current pace.

His thoughts brought a shiver, prompting another assault on the Fireworks, reappearing behind its unguarded side.
