# Chapter 1691: Are You People Crazy?
However, this didn't mean the Golden Pupil player's speed wouldn't be slowed down. Although the illumination prop could reveal the general outline of space entities, it couldn't help him distinguish whether a space entity had direct lethal power. For example, some space entities were like giant boulders as a whole, while others were covered in space blades on the outside. Dodging would inevitably lead to collisions, and most defense props were ineffective, so he still suffered some superficial injuries in the process.
The illumination prop helped him avoid many risks, but it also had its pros and cons. Xu Huo couldn't yet create space entities of the same level, but he could create cube spaces of considerable size. Under the blue light, the outline of the cube space he created would also twist and emerge, causing the Golden Pupil player to misjudge.
Although as the fight dragged on, the opponent had learned a bit about his methods, Xu Huo could stack space blades on top of the cube space. After this evolution, the lethality of the space blades he created had also increased accordingly. Even if they couldn't cause much damage to the Golden Pupil player, mixing them in with countless space entities was enough to give him a headache.
Fighting in this space was clearly disadvantageous for the Golden Pupil player, so looking at Xu Huo, who always kept his distance, he spoke up: "You took something that doesn't belong to you."
"Oh." Xu Huo didn't let his guard down just because the other had suddenly become talkative. After putting more distance between them again, he compressed a cube space in the air, moved it onto the trajectory of the large scissors, and after breaking it apart, brushed against a nearby time ray.
Past images appeared again. The figures walking on the street seemed to truly exist in the space. Anyone who saw this scene would be stunned, but the Golden Pupil player remained unmoved. He seemed completely unaffected by the mental interference. Taking advantage of a space entity blocking his front moving away, he grabbed a giant boulder beside him and shouted at Xu Huo, "Next one!"
The distance between the two had already exceeded a hundred meters, and there was a space barrier Xu Huo had pulled up in between. But unexpectedly, the trait still took effect. The stone the Golden Pupil player grabbed vanished in an instant, and the next second, it reappeared along with the Golden Pupil player's figure fifty meters away from him.
Fifty meters was the effective range of "Life Flashback" for traits. Within this range, traits would lose their effect and cause time to freeze for five seconds. It also had a certain recording function. For example, now, the stone was stuck at the fifty-meter mark, and the Golden Pupil player's figure was also frozen and visible, while the pulling force on him suddenly disappeared.
Seeing that the exchange hadn't succeeded, the Golden Pupil player's gaze darkened. Then he used "Tailor-Made" again.
Xu Huo had already fallen for it once before. How could he give him another chance now? So the moment the other opened his mouth, he retreated a thousand meters away — five hundred meters wasn't safe enough.
His prediction was correct. The range of the second "Tailor-Made" the Golden Pupil player used had expanded by two hundred meters compared to before. The space within a radius of seven hundred meters all froze, as if time had stopped, or as if it was stuck in space.
But regardless of which case it was, this fit Xu Huo's hypothesis: that when a trait evolved to a certain level, it was equivalent to possessing a certain super evolution ability. Although players might not necessarily understand the principle, the trait clearly skipped the "operating principle" step and directly presented the result.
Of course, not all traits could be neatly categorized, but this showed that even without super evolution, advanced players had correspondingly powerful methods. Compared to props that were relatively easier to block, traits were clearly harder to capture and shield against.
Just look at the Golden Pupil player — having a strong enough trait could create unexpected advantages in battle.
At this moment, Xu Huo also seemed to suddenly become talkative. He took the box from the luggage compartment, showed it to the Golden Pupil player, then transferred it to Yan Jiayu through Under Dimension.
The Golden Pupil player's face turned as dark as water at this move.
"Sorry, the thing you want has gone to another district again." Xu Huo said without any sincerity.
The Golden Pupil player had been chasing this box, but his tracking method had a certain lag. Even if he wanted to follow the box now, he couldn't find the direction. And Xu Huo had companions — they only needed to pass it back and forth to minimize the risk of losing the box.
Realizing he had been played, the Golden Pupil player picked up a round crystal and threw it forward. The immense energy from the exploding prop instantly turned this space upside down. Under the shockwave, the colliding space entities were no longer as "slow" as before. Instead, they destroyed everything around them at super high speed. Not to mention the city on the ground, even the space entities themselves were shattered and burst apart in this overwhelming crushing. In an instant, the entire space visibly collapsed, completely turning into a meat grinder!
Forced to, Xu Huo could only leave using the ticket. But what he never expected was that the Golden Pupil player actually arrived at the same station three seconds later!
Xu Huo, in shock, stacked "Inviolable Domain" and "Flower Bloom" barriers, used the black blade to forcefully block the other's scissors, and then directly threw out "Mini Mushroom Cloud"!
Accompanied by the deafening roar, he, the Golden Pupil player, and the five other players already in the station were simultaneously blasted apart by the shockwave. In an instant, they were plastered against the station's glass walls that looked clean, transparent, and seemingly non-existent!
The continuous and expanding impact pressure squeezed the entire interior of the station. Xu Huo and the others were stuck to the wall like meat patties. If not for their defense props, their bones would have been crushed on the spot. Under such violent explosion, the station itself seemed to shake under the strain, causing everyone to tremble with fear.
Those brief ten-plus seconds felt like everyone's hearts were being roasted over a fire. Fortunately, in the end, the station only shook slightly. As the impact force on them dissipated, everyone regained their composure.
After landing again, several traveling players checked the station's outer walls with lingering fear. Only after confirming the station was intact did they look at them with rage, "Are you people crazy?! If you want to die, don't drag us along!"
Players generally had to hold back when fighting in a station and didn't dare use props with too much lethality. First, they were worried about damaging the station and bringing unpredictable serious consequences. Second, they feared game punishment. Who the hell had ever seen someone blow up a station right from the start?!
Xu Huo and the Golden Pupil player locked eyes. Neither spoke, and of course, neither made a move.
Having taken a "Mini Mushroom Cloud" at close range, Xu Huo's hands and feet were a bit numb, though he didn't show it. Meanwhile, the Golden Pupil player's eyes were filled with wariness.
He had just blown up the chaos space to force the other out, and Xu Huo immediately dared to drag him into mutual destruction in the station. Even though he knew full well that a station situated in dimensional space couldn't be easily destroyed by an explosion prop, who wouldn't be afraid?
But the facts were right in front of him — this madman in front of him, who had thrown out the prop almost without hesitation, simply wasn't afraid!
