Qin Siyang's eyes burned with intensity.
Fighting Hong Liang made him extremely excited.
He even felt that failing to escape using [Banquet Domain] was fate helping him.
You could say it solved a not-so-big, not-so-small problem of his, figuring out where his Origin Sequence stood.
Qin Siyang awakening his Origin Sequence should have been something worth celebrating.
Unfortunately, Qin Siyang wasn't someone who understood such things. He had no idea how strong an Origin Sequence really was.
Compared to other Sequence ability users walking the path of believers, just how big was the gap for someone on the path of becoming a god?
Was he the one suppressing believers, or were believers suppressing him?
The best way to judge the strength of an Origin Sequence was to find a testing stone and fight a life-and-death battle.
But after finishing his breakthrough the day before yesterday, Qin Siyang discovered a problem.
Because his combat power was already extremely high, among the very top in the safe zone, it was incredibly hard to find a suitable testing stone.
If he wasn't careful, he might run into an opponent like Chang Tianxiong and lose his life on the spot.
And the Hong Liang in front of him was practically perfect.
Sequence Level Six, but lacking combat experience. He had some strength, but not enough to pose a huge threat.
It was like getting a pillow right when you felt sleepy, or being handed a coach right when you wanted to train.
"Just awakened the day before yesterday, and today I get to test the waters. Is this what they call an experience pack?"
Qin Siyang's face lit up with wild joy.
"Professor Hong, I'll build you a grave in my heart."
Hearing Qin Siyang's words, Hong Liang knew he was being looked down on.
Even as a teacher, he couldn't suppress the anger rising inside him, "You're young, but your mouth sure is big! Even if they all say you're so close with Li Tianming and Zhao Longfei that you share the same pants, I still won't—"
Before he could finish, Qin Siyang, along with the armor on his body, turned into several streaks and vanished from Hong Liang's sight.
Qin Siyang was already a veteran who had faced many powerful enemies.
When an expert made a move, you could tell immediately if they had skill.
From the very beginning, he hadn't sensed any lethal danger from Hong Liang, so he had been using only the first layer of [Origin Violence] to fight and dodge.
After probing a bit, it was time to switch from defense to offense.
With double-layer [Origin Violence] activated, Qin Siyang's speed now reached its peak.
Hong Liang froze.
'His speed is actually far faster than before?'
'Does that mean when he was dodging earlier, he wasn't even using his full strength?'
'How is that even possible? He didn't use any God-hunting artifact to accelerate!'
'Is it because of the potions he just drank?'
'I have never heard of any potion that can produce such a dramatic boost.'
Hong Liang's brief moment of confusion was all it took for Qin Siyang to rush right in front of him.
A hook punch landed squarely on Hong Liang's cheek.
The punch was plain and unadorned, not even using [Divinity Through Taste] to call upon any god's power.
Even though Qin Siyang had secretly licked every piece of godly remains in his storage box yesterday, meaning he could now call upon the abilities of the gods he had slain at any time.
Boom!
That simple, ordinary punch sent Hong Liang, armor and all, flying away.
"Pfft!"
Hong Liang's entire body slammed into the folds filled with viscous slime. His head spun, and disbelief only deepened.
'How can someone maintain such speed and still have ten times my strength?'
'What kind of Sequence ability user is this well-rounded?'
'Could it be…'
Boom!
Hong Liang had just managed to stand up when a dark blur flashed past his vision, and the same spot on his cheek took another heavy hit.
As his body was sent flying into the air again, Hong Liang finally reacted, he couldn't let Qin Siyang attack him freely anymore.
He hurried to slap the stud on his belt to activate several defensive artifacts.
But the moment his hand touched the belt, a powerful force knocked it away.
"This…"
His field of vision was suddenly filled by Qin Siyang.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark boot slam hard onto the back of his hand.
The corner of Qin Siyang's mouth tilted, "Professor Hong, don't tell me you put all your activation buttons in the same place?"
Hong Liang's expression changed in shock. 'This is bad!'
Boom!
Before he could even see Qin Siyang's armor clearly, his cheek took another punch.
His head was already overwhelmed by intense dizziness, making it impossible to think calmly.
He had no idea how to deal with Qin Siyang's relentless attacks.
Whether it was his skills or his artifacts, they all required a brief moment to activate.
But Qin Siyang's punches came one after another, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
Even his senses had dulled from the repeated blows.
All that remained in Hong Liang's heart was shock.
He had never expected that even while wearing fourth-tier armor, he could be beaten into this state by pure physical attacks.
Among Sequence rankings, pure strength-type sequences were the least favored, because their upper limit was too low, even inferior to fourth-tier armor and weapons.
But Qin Siyang's strength far exceeded every strength-type sequence he had ever known.
Not just strength, his speed was equally incomprehensible.
Thankfully, fourth-tier armor was tough enough.
Thinking this, Hong Liang let out a breath of relief.
'Even if Qin Siyang has stepped onto the path of believers, there is no way he can break it.'
'Not to mention, Qin Siyang's armor is only fourth-tier as well.'
'Force works both ways. Whose armor would break first isn't even certain… wait!'
Hong Liang suddenly saw that iron-like fist again.
It was still just a blur, but something about its shape made him uneasy.
On the gauntlet, there seemed to be a few protrusions of a slightly different color…
Boom!
Another violent impact scattered the clarity he had just barely regained.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hong Liang gave up resisting.
Anyway, Qin Siyang's punches couldn't kill him. Once Qin Siyang got tired, it would be his turn to act… act and do what again?
His mind was foggy. He couldn't remember.
Boom!
When Hong Liang slammed heavily into the folds again, he was already dazed.
But just as he expected another blow, the anticipated impact didn't come.
Instead, he felt a faint chill at his neck.
'Hmm?'
'Qin Siyang ran out of strength?'
Hong Liang steadied his gaze and saw Qin Siyang standing in front of him.
Only then did he realize that a hand was gripping his neck.
'This is?'
Qin Siyang looked quite satisfied and smiled.
"Finally broke through."
'Broke through?'
'Broke through what?'
Hong Liang's eyes widened suddenly.
'Could it be?'
Crack!
Qin Siyang tightened his grip and snapped Hong Liang's neck.
Hong Liang stared wide-eyed at Qin Siyang in disbelief as his breath cut off.
Seeing that Hong Liang was already dead, Qin Siyang muttered to himself, "You don't happen to have some kind of [Reattachment Operation Capsule], do you?"
Just to be safe, Qin Siyang kept holding Hong Liang's broken neck, not letting go.
He planned to find a way to confirm that Hong Liang was completely dead.
But before he could take any further action, a powerful force suddenly pushed him.
When Qin Siyang regained his footing, he found himself back in his own room.
'Did that strange ant spit me out again?'
Qin Siyang turned to look at the ant still crouched in the corner of the wall, "Probably some kind of God-hunting artifact…"
Bang!
At that moment, his door was blasted open.
Qin Siyang immediately sucked in a sharp breath.
'More motherfackers?'
A voice came from the doorway, "Little Qin, I came to save—huh?"
