The empty-handed fighter smoothly snatched a bamboo pole from a young subordinate, then with a swift, sweeping motion—crisp and crisp—the sound of several cries of "Ah!" echoed as the young men fell to the ground, clutching their legs where they'd been struck. They lay there, clutching their wounded limbs, wailing in pain. It seems the elder's ability with the sunglasses is truly exceptional. Indeed, Li Xiang and Chen Zixue were correct—the sunglasses elder is a genuine advanced ability user. "Hahaha! Come on all of you! Try your luck against my skills!" the sunglasses elder roared with laughter. Li Xiang and Chen Zixue launched a combined attack, each employing their most refined swamp-based abilities and the invincible Yin-Yang hands, respectively. Their abilities have recently seen significant improvements, thanks to Gao Liang's consistent encouragement and strategic guidance, who has urged them to integrate some Shaolin martial arts techniques into their abilities, achieving a seamless fusion of ability and martial skill. As a result, their overall proficiency has advanced in ways never before seen. They had hoped that simultaneous attacks would secure victory, yet to their surprise, the marsh ability had no effect on the glasses-wearing leader. Even before the marsh formed beneath his feet, the leader's body rose higher, always rising faster than the marsh could develop. Chen Zixue was astonished—so far, only the leader Gao Liang had managed to remain unimpeded by the marsh. Now, they faced a formidable opponent. Although Li Xiang's invincible yin-yang hands performed well on their own, their actual offensive impact was significantly diminished. Indeed, as the hands approached the glasses-wearing leader, the leader roared, "Wind, Fire, Thunder—drawn!" Instantly, a strong gust of wind surged through the air, blowing the fire from the palms upward, sending two streams of flame directly toward Li Xiang and Chen Zixue. Too fast! They simply couldn't dodge. Zhang Yупing and Dai Mengna, watching from the sidelines, were deeply alarmed and immediately closed their eyes, exclaiming, "Good heavens! Good heavens! Absolutely not... "Boss! We can't serve you anymore!" Li Xiang and Chen Zixue thought simultaneously. Just when things were at their worst, Li Xiang and Chen Zixue suddenly heard a voice: "You've forgotten! The Shaolin Golden Bell Technique I taught you! Quickly! Activate the energy and form the Golden Bell Shield!" Wow! It was Boss Gao Liang's voice. In fact, Gao Liang had arrived at the terminal station of Cable Car No. 18 on the Powell-Heath line, only to find Mike and Julie looking disheartened. When he asked them, they replied, "Dai Mengna is missing!" Gao Liang grew anxious and said, "We must go back and look for her right away!" So the three of them took the cable car from the terminal and headed upward, moving swiftly toward the scene. Although his abilities were still sealed, his sharp insight quickly revealed that someone had descended from the gondola midway up the mountain, while Mike and Julie were deeply engaged in their conversation inside the gondola and completely unaware that Miss Damona had fallen. Our Highlight, however, was able to notice distinct footprints on a patch of grass halfway up the mountain—clearly indicating someone had stepped down from there. So, Highlight, Mike, and Julie rushed over. Just as they arrived, a fierce struggle unfolded between his silver-and-gold guards and the glasses-wearing elder. Yet, Highlight observed that the glasses-wearing elder's abilities were far from ordinary, with the silver-and-gold guards clearly at a disadvantage, and his attack particularly fierce when the fire surged. High Light realized his abilities had been sealed, and despite trying every possible method over these several days, nothing worked. To avoid worrying Ying'er, he hadn't even told her about it. Damn it—his abilities and martial skills sealed, he now felt like a complete waste. The only thing left was his wisdom, something no one could take away. Even though both his abilities and martial arts had been sealed, when Master Mirror's fiery attack came, as a deity already, High Light instantly knew that using the Shaolin Golden Cocoon technique for protection was the most effective defense. Indeed, after being trained by Master Golden Armor, Jin and Yin immediately rallied their spirits, sensing that their savior had arrived. Chen Zixue and Li Xiang worked in perfect harmony, channeling their internal energy, which quickly spread throughout their bodies, forming a protective shield around them—just like a golden bell—shielding them from the outside. "Hah! Hah!" Two streams of energy flames rushed toward Chen Zixue and Li Xiang. "Haha!" You're all dead! You dare challenge me? You're absolutely asking for it! The glasses-wearing leader roared with laughter. Yet Houang interjected: "You dare bully my younger brother?" Houang's words carried immense weight—though he knew his abilities had now completely faded, he never allowed himself to falter before his opponents. At every moment, he had to press their momentum, psychologically intimidating them. Indeed, the glasses-wearing leader was utterly stunned—never before had he witnessed energy flames falter so suddenly as they approached Li Xiang and Chen Zixue. The flames, which should have surged forward, suddenly weakened, as if drained of strength. Never had such a phenomenon occurred! He immediately bellowed, "One more time!" This time, he shook his hands vigorously, then flipped and struck—two even more powerful flames erupted, blazing fiercely, their light so intense it scorched the surrounding grass. A gust of wind surged forth, and the two flame spheres surged forward with powerful momentum, charging directly toward the gold-and-silver armor. Highlighted assessed the opponent's energy column and realized it was too immense—Li Xiang and Chen Zixue's combined energy fell short of two-thirds of the opponent's. Due to this asymmetry, the Golden Bell Defense would surely be shattered, leaving them certain death. What could he do? Highlight was extremely anxious. If his special ability weren't sealed, he'd have been able to showcase his skills dramatically. But coming to the U.S. had been nothing short of disastrous—his ability had been unintentionally suppressed during the marathon, and now, even his martial arts skills had been locked down. Damn it, when would the old prestige of his past days return? Highlight couldn't afford to dwell on these thoughts now. The situation was dire. Ah, there was a solution—but it was extremely risky. He immediately shouted to Li Xiang and Chen Zixue, "Listen up! Immediately contract your energies and transfer them to me!" "With that, Gao Liang quickly stepped forward, ahead of Li Xiang and Chen Zixue. Li Xiang and Chen Zixue were completely surprised that their leader had stepped in to take their place—deeply moved, even teary-eyed, they immediately nodded and said, 'Leader! Please be careful! That person's energy is the strongest I've ever encountered!' 'Don't worry! Together, we three! When many people gather wood, the fire burns bright! I won't believe we can't bring him down!' Gao Liang's confidence inspired Li Xiang and Chen Zixue. Immediately, Gao Liang, as the leader, combined his strength with that of his two stalwart bodyguards. Of course, to ensure their leader had the upper hand, Li Xiang and Chen Zixue immediately poured nearly all of their own energy into the effort. Meanwhile, Gaoliang's abilities were sealed, so the three Dragon Balls—Water, Fire, and Energy—remained dormant and inactive. They could only draw energy from Li Xiang and Chen Zixue, a strategy known as "leveraging strength through support." Thanks to specialized physical training and mental conditioning, Gaoliang could efficiently channel the incoming energy throughout his body, keeping himself in an activated state. Although the combined energy of the two bodyguards still only amounted to two-thirds of the opponent's total, Gaoliang skillfully focused this energy on the decisive points. He identified the opponent's weaknesses: as long as he could avoid the two concentrated energy flames and powerfully released the energy he had received through external means, launching swift and powerful attacks, he was certain to overcome the opponent. This was because the opponent's core physical defenses were significantly weakened, with most of their energy being consumed in sustaining the energy flames.
