In the days they spent together, Bai E would listen to Rose share things she had been privately taught by the people from Arbitration Place, as well as the characteristics of her unique "spiritless" constitution.

Spiritless individuals didn't lack souls, it was just that their Spiritual Bodies were not projected into higher-dimensional space, but fused with their physical bodies instead.

Therefore, for them, it was not that they couldn't sense the power of Spiritual Energy, but that they couldn't sense the Spiritual Energy from the outside world.

As for the energy within themselves… Could someone accustomed to their own strength really distinguish between Spiritual Energy and physical strength?

Her fervent will stimulated Rose's Spiritual Energy, and the special constitution of a spiritless person only allowed the Spiritual Energy to take effect in the form of physical strength within her, the violent outburst far surpassing her base attributes—a short-lived eruption caused by the turmoil of her spirit.

This was the true talent of a spiritless person!

"We can't fall behind either," Bai E said with a smile tugging at his lips, looking at Zero beside him with eyes full of encouragement.

He hadn't chosen any of his team members blindly.

Zero was also formidable.

"Yes."

With a somewhat youthful face set in determination, Zero hugged his red-dot sniper rifle tightly, aiming as accurately as possible at the 'little yellow people' being entangled by several melee experts.

The battle unfolding before his eyes gradually faded and was soon engulfed in darkness.

Green dots of light began to converge from behind his field of vision, slowly assembling and outlining a world that transformed into a mesh of points and lines.

The mesh was chaotic, filled with distorted curves, and it was constantly changing, like a fine fishing net underwater, revealing an unpredictable pattern due to the flow of the current.

And the bodies engaged in the real-world combat appeared in Zero's special vision as faint yellow outlines.

These yellow-outlined figures tangled with the green mesh in Zero's field of view, similar to dropped frames, with the 'little yellow person's body occasionally revealing key "points" that briefly overlapped with the green net lines or dots.

Those opportunities were fleeting and without any pattern, difficult to seize.

Whenever Zero tried to aim, those overlapping "points" would repel each other like magnets of the same polarity, splitting apart instantly.

Veins on Zero's temples bulged as he strained his eyes, peering through the sniper rifle's scope and chasing after that sliver of a chance.

'Face?'

'Line?'

'Point?'

"Not enough! Not enough!" Zero murmured under his breath.

The more precise he was, the greater the opportunity!

Twisting red lines seeped from the corners of his eyes.

A strand…

A line…

A thread…

Flowing down the contours of his cheeks, eventually converging on his jawline.

In the moment the surface tension of the blood-red liquid could no longer balance its own weight, a droplet of blood gently fell.

Drip~

"Bang!"

Zero pulled the trigger forcefully, shouting at the same time, "Captain!"

"I see it," Bai E's calm voice rose beside him.

He had already put down his Anti-Material Sniper Rifle after instructing Zero, switching to his Compound Bow instead.

The battle had escalated in intensity in the instant the 'little yellow people' switched modes.

Without knowing the full extent of the little yellow people's capabilities, all previous attrition had been mere probing of the opponent's hand. Seeing that the opponent had now gotten serious, he could no longer hide his own cards.

If they continued to probe, it would be their side who would falter first.

While Zero was taking aim, Bai E had already drawn his bow fully, ready with an arrow notched.

Zero didn't need to call out a reminder, and in truth, there was no time for it. The moment Zero decided to pull the trigger, Bai E, having sensed this, nearly acted in unison with him.

Surrounding Spiritual Energy often brought a moment of "insight" concerning matters close to oneself.

The scene of Zero pulling the trigger was possibly more vivid in Bai E's mind than Zero's own sensations...

Therefore, aimed at by the sniper rifle's red dot, a slender brass bullet hurtled forward, followed by a dark metallic arrow launching from another direction, preemptively striking the target before the bullet hit.

A seemingly inconspicuous point on the 'little yellow person's body, equivalent to the position of a human's right rib.

"Zzt!"

The arrow, infused with techniques like "Steady Wind," "Power Shot," "Slay Hundred with a Blink," "Overlimit Drive," and the Spiritual Energy finesse—"Spiritual Heart Transfer," held the mightiest force Bai E could muster at that time.

Its kinetic impact, amplified layer upon layer, reached hundreds of points in magnitude, unlike missiles capable of a similar level of impact—dispersed and dealing blunt damage.

An arrow's damage was more penetrating. Given the same kinetic impact, it far exceeded the damage from a blast with a wider impact surface, as long as it could penetrate the defense.

Even the shield system crafted in the Golden Age operating at its peak power could not withstand the onslaught of this arrow.

The defensive power of the shield system could not even put up the slightest resistance, and was penetrated in an instant.

As for the body made from special alloys... against this exceptional arrow, it was equally powerless.

Carrying the whirlwind in its wake, the arrow whistled as it pierced through the mechanical body.
