How could Chen Xing, despite her dramatically altered appearance, still unreasonably suspect his true identity?

Tendo, after much deliberation, believed he had found the answer to this question.

There were two reasons.

One was his ingrained, almost instinctual habits.

The second was Chen Xing’s unreasonable ‘intuition.’

As the saying goes, “rivers and mountains may change, but one’s nature is hard to alter.”

He could change his hair and eye color, but he couldn’t change the subconscious actions accumulated over years.

Such flaws would naturally be hard for ordinary people to detect.

Even less could they connect them to his true identity.

But Chen Xing was different.

She possessed a terrifying talent that even Tendo had underestimated before.

A talent called ‘Demonic Star Intuition.’

Relying on this talent, Chen Xing could make correct decisions that went straight to the essence of things, without thinking, solely through her body’s instincts and subjective judgment.

Tendo had originally thought this talent was merely an embodiment of Chen Xing’s superb combat skills.

He never expected her ‘intuition’ could even be used to probe him!

Because of this, Tendo secretly expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

What kind of talent was this? This was clearly a cheat!

And there were only two best ways to deal with ‘cheating players.’

One was to cheat himself, and the other… was to ban her!

“Hmm?”

The moment Tendo stepped onto the stage, Chen Xing, in the center of the arena, suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise.

Because just now, she suddenly felt that Tendo seemed to have changed.

Although Tendo’s appearance and aura seemed to be no different at all at this moment,

Chen Xing just inexplicably felt a sense of incongruity.

It was so incongruous that it felt as if something had suddenly enveloped her, affecting her judgment of the outside world.

To the point that even though Tendo was clearly standing in front of her,

Her previously strong ‘intuition’ had become much weaker.

If her intuition wasn’t malfunctioning, then Tendo must have done something.

Noticing the change in Chen Xing’s expression,

Tendo secretly laughed to himself.

‘Demonic Star Intuition’ was indeed monstrous and unreasonable.

But ultimately, it was just Chen Xing’s subconscious synthesis of various external information, leading to ‘correct judgments’ without requiring thought.

And his ‘All-Encompassing World’ happened to be able to distort the surrounding information, thereby causing Chen Xing’s ‘Demonic Star Intuition’ to collect ‘incorrect information’ and subsequently make ‘incorrect’ judgments.

It was just that Tendo hadn’t expected Chen Xing’s ‘intuition’ to be so exaggerated in the first place.

He had been unexpectedly caught by her fleeting ‘shadow.’

Otherwise, how could Chen Xing have seen through his perfect disguise?

But just as Tendo thought he had found the optimal solution to all problems,

An unexpected turn occurred again.

Clang!

To everyone’s dumbfounded astonishment,

Chen Xing suddenly drew her demonic blade, ‘Blood Flame’.

As if hearing its master’s thoughts, terrifying flames suddenly flowed across Chen Xing’s blade.

And along with this surge of flames, a vast, intangible, formless killing intent also arose.

This killing intent carried a portion of Chen Xing’s personal will.

To a certain extent, it tore through the information fog laid down by Tendo’s ‘All-Encompassing World.’

Very quickly, that strange, inexplicable ‘sense of incongruity’ in Chen Xing’s heart… vanished.

Seeing this scene, Tendo was secretly astonished.

Although he had thought Chen Xing’s intuition was terrifying,

He hadn’t expected it to be this terrifying.

Because her intuition had reached the point where she could detect being ‘deceived’ almost instantly.

“As expected…”

Noticing the diminished sense of incongruity, Chen Xing realized it with a start.

Her expression also visibly grew even more excited.

After all, if the person in front of her truly had no issues,

Why would he suddenly try to block her intuition, just to win against her?

Analyzing from a rational perspective,

This guy named ‘Ink Wash’ indeed had a reason to plan ahead to win the battle.

But her ‘intuition’ told Chen Xing that his reason for doing so was absolutely not just to simply win a battle!

Thinking of this, Chen Xing’s hand gripping the demonic blade trembled uncontrollably.

Because she felt herself getting closer and closer to that ‘shadow’ she had been chasing in her heart.

However, unlike her excitement, Tendo was already a bit numb.

You can even detect when your intuition is being deceived, Chen Xing. You’re seriously not even pretending, just violently cheating!

At this point, Tendo was a bit resigned.

Because he found that in front of such a ‘beast’ that relied purely on intuition,

Acting, disguising, all of that was utterly meaningless.

Because in the eyes of a beast, intuition… was everything!

As for proof?

Sorry, a beast’s intuition is the best proof!

Thinking this, Tendo made his decision.

This won’t do. I must end this duel quickly and then get away from this dangerous person, Chen Xing.

Otherwise, I absolutely won’t be able to stay hidden.

With this thought, Tendo drew his ‘Star Shatter’, which was stained with ink, from his waist, making his final struggle.

“Although I don’t know what you’re talking about, I somehow feel like you’ve got some things wrong.”

“Is that so?”

Chen Xing said noncommittally: “Whether you’re wrong or not, I’ll know soon enough.”

As her words fell, Chen Xing’s figure transformed into a red stream of light, rushing towards Tendo.

The demonic blade ‘Blood Flame’ in her hand dragged a crimson flame tail, carving a perfect arc in mid-air as it slashed towards Tendo.

The blade hadn’t even reached him, but the scorching Blood Flame on the demonic blade not only instantly evaporated the lingering water droplets on the arena floor.

The rising heatwave also forced Yu Chen and others watching from the sidelines to retreat several steps, unable to easily approach.

With just one strike, Chen Xing let everyone know the terror of her Sun Family’s demonic blade.

It was truly as scorching as the sun; even looking directly at it was a form of injury.

Compared to Chen Xing’s Blood Flame, Kong Cheng’s ‘Flaming Fist’ was just a joke.

And facing Chen Xing’s attack,

Tendo feigned defeat, barely swinging his blade in response.

After all, according to his plan, he was supposed to pretend to fight with all his might and then suffer a crushing defeat to Chen Xing.

Otherwise, everyone else lost so easily.

If he were to win,

Wouldn’t that be practically telling everyone that he had something to hide and inviting them to investigate him?

With this thought, Tendo’s ‘Star Shatter,’ wrapped in ‘black ink,’ clashed with Chen Xing’s demonic blade.

He then flew backward, landing outside the arena.

He perfectly displayed the posture of a standard loser, seemingly unable to withstand Chen Xing’s power and regrettably defeated.

On this point, Tendo secretly gave himself full marks.

Because his defeat was… perfectly reasonable!

However, what Tendo hadn’t anticipated was that Chen Xing, still on the arena, suddenly spoke.

“You’ve passed the assessment.”

Tendo: “???”
