Battle Royale of the Sinners Chapter 326

Chapter 326
Chapter 326 – System Skill Limitation
Lu Bu could use the Double Accel for only a second as he had not mastered this ability yet . Although the time manipulation ended in an instant, he managed to drive back two souls of Khan .
The other two souls went after Lu Bu's real body . They threw a punch at his face and his chest, planning to kill him in one hit .
"Hmm . "
Lu Bu sidestepped and dodged the attacks from the souls . He threw a punch to counter the souls with his fists, but it went through their bodies without harming them .
Khan's two souls turned around and were about to continue attacking . Lu Bu leaped backward one step, temporarily keeping the distance from the two ghosts .
Lu Bu summoned his spirits back into his body . Concentrating his angelic aura into his fists, he countered the souls with his punch again .
*POEK*
The punch connected right to the face of a spirit .
Khan immediately unsummoned his ghosts as the punch broke his jaw . He resummoned one of his virtue soul to activate his skill .
'Regen . '
His wounds and the broken jaw were healed .
"Not bad . Not bad at all . AHAHAHAHAHA"
Though Khan was surprised that this world's Lu Bu was stronger than his previous self, his hysterical laughter continued to echo in the dark night .
It was as if Khan was happy to see his son had achieved beyond his expectation .
He sent one of his virtue soul to confront Lu Bu again . However, he did not attack him .
Khan transferred his word using the spirit .
"Well done, Lu Bu . Unfortunately, you are working for the wrong lord . You shouldn't be working for Zhang Tong . Come to me, and I shall teach you about the real warrior's path . I can tell you what is going to happen to this country in the future . I can make you the King that you always want to be!"
Seeing that Khan stopped attacking, Lu Bu spat out a mouthful of blood that clogged in his throat when he activated the [Double Accel] .
Glancing behind him, all surviving troops still had not evacuated from the county into Li Feihong's world yet . They were still entering, but it would take a few minutes before all of them could leave .
'I have to buy times for them . '
Lu Bu turned around and started acting, "What are you? What do you know about me? How can I become King?"
This was Lu Bu's bait to initiate long conversation . By throwing questions at Khan, he could buy times for his men .
In Khan's point of view, he thought that Lu Bu was showing interest by asking, "How can I become King?"
"It's simple . Be my disciple and join my army along with your father . I'm already the King of Xiongnu, so I don't need to bother fighting anyone else for the throne, but I need a King to run this country . Join me, and you'll be that King!"
Lu Bu paused, counting in his mind from one to twenty while his eyes rolled around, pretending to think .
Twenty seconds passed, Lu Bu answered, "I don't trust you . What are you? Who really are you? How do I know that you won't fool me as Zhang Tong did!?"
Simple bait questions came out of Lu Bu's mouth again . It was the same trick question .
"I am an immortal like Zhang Tong . Well, I'm not like him for one fact because I know you more than he does . I know that you want the best for your wife and your daughter . I know that you spent these years looking for a worthy opponent . I know that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have been cleaning the mess that you made in your early years . "
Lu Bu paused again . He stopped and counted to twenty before he opened his mouth to retort .
"You are talking nonsense . Anyone can send spies to obtain that information! You can't even answer my question directly, then how can I trust you!?"
Khan was bemused . This world's Lu Bu was cautious, which was totally different from his imagination .
'Come to think of it . I jumped ship right away when Dong Zhuo offered me an official title in the court and gold . This guy isn't an idiot like my past self . Very good . Excellent!'
Khan was proud of this alternate self . He wanted to have this Lu Bu as his subordinate at all costs, so he decided to be frank .
"Listen, Lu Fengxian . In my previous life, I was you! My true name is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian! I am from the future! I know about what will happen in this country!"
Lu Bu smirked . He had heard many stories from Li Feihong to the point that his ears numbed every time he heard about the story about his future .
Moreover, he started having bad dreams at night . He experienced what the other Lu Bu in the different world had been through, the father killing and his desperate journey, serving different lords and getting killed by Cao Cao and Liu Bei .
Lu Bu did not need anyone to tell him what to do . He decided to pave a path of his own .
Thus, Lu Bu raised his fist and his middle finger at Khan's spirit .
"Bullshit . You wannabe . You should come up with a better excuse if you want me to join you . Maybe you should offer me a million gold or something to make it worth my time . Do you have it? The million gold?"
Khan was taken aback by Lu Bu's extortion . He frowned and rolled his eyes to the sides, baffled of why this alternate past of himself seemed more cunning and more intelligence than his previous self .
As the thought of Khan went haywire, he lost his patience .
"Oh well, I should have done this earlier . [Eyes of Domination], Join me!"
"Hmm?"
A déjà vu feeling came to Lu Bu as the skill that Xu Da had used on him were being used on him again .
However, there was a limit to all system skills .

"What!?"
Khan stared at the floating system messages in shock .
Meanwhile, Lu Bu took a deep breath . The feeling of having something invading his brain disappeared, but he was annoyed that this cheating otherworlder attempted to use the same old underhanded trick on him again .
"Oi, you . At least Tong was honest enough to confront me head-on without using this stupid trick to make me join him . But you, you claimed that you were me, but you used the trick that I hate the most . I'm disappointed, wannabe . "
Glancing behind his back, Lu Bu could see that more than half of his soldiers got inside the portal . He needed a few more minutes to all of them away from this hell-hole .
Lu Bu raised his fist and pointed his middle finger upward, wiggling it and taunting Khan, "Come on, wannabe . Don't tell me that the future me forgets about his origins and is relying on tricks instead of our proud martial arts? Come, fight me with your real body!"
Khan took a deep breath and exhaled all air in his lung . It would be a lie to say that he was not mad .
He was pissed!
"I want the best for you, but you refuse my goodwill . Fine! I don't need you in this world! You and I are just strangers with similar experiences and past!"
The negotiating spirit charged at Lu Bu .
"[Negate Defense]!"
The soul struck Lu Bu with its halberd .
Lu Bu summoned his soul and passed over his halberd .
*CLANK*
Khan's halberd cut through Lu Bu's halberd like butter . However, despite using his skill, Lu Bu managed to parry it by using the weapon in his soul's hands to receive the strike .
>

"FOOK!"
Khan lost his temper . He could use it against the real body of Tong, but he failed when he attacked the virtue soul of Lu Bu .
"Dumbass . "
Lu Bu unsummoned his soul back to his body . The two wings behind his back expanded once more as he gathered his aura into his halberd .
He swung it against the soul .
*SWUA*
The strike cut a wound on Khan's soul and caused the same injury on his body .
"Ghh! Damn it! How!?"
"A wannabe is always a wannabe . Die!"
As Lu Bu was about to strike the soul again, Khan summoned his soul back to his body, retreated from the battle .
Lu Bu snorted, "Weakling!"
He turned around to his men who were entering the portal . He joined the queue at the backline and waited for his turn in patience .
…
…
Khan stared at his injuries in frustration . He had thought that he was invincible with so many powers, yet he was defeated back to back by this world's Lu Bu and another otherworlder with fewer skills .
"Something is amiss! Why can't I kill them all!?"
Khan glared at his status and his skills . As he kept reading, his anger swelled within his heart .
Without a solution, he typed into the clan chat to get an answer from Liu Yang .
Khan: "My skills aren't effective against Lu Bu and his spirits . Why is this happening!?"
Khan: "I lost against my former self! My soul can't even land a hit on him!"
Liu Yang: "…"
Liu Yang: "I see that you met your alternate self, but that Lu Bu is not you . Remember that this is an alternate world, and you aren't traveling into the past . "
Liu Yang: "Khan . You might have relied too much on the system skills . The immortals created this to give a bit of power to the mortals, so they can struggle to entertain them . Do you think they will hand over a mighty and invincible power to a mortal without a precaution?"
Liu Yang told Khan about the limitation of the system skills and reminded him that this world was a farce .
All skills that could harm mortals would render ineffective against awakened souls, angels, or demons . As sinners in hell were untrustworthy and carried graves sins, it would be illogical if the gods gave a power that could threaten the existence of heaven and hell to these wicked souls .
Any administrator that held the key of this universe's law could terminate all system skills of the mortals instantly, including the power of fellow immortals . Even if Lilim embedded the skills into the souls of the remaining otherworlders, they still held the ability to do so .
Moreover, the limitation of the skills would not change after the skills became one with the soul of any otherworlder .
This was a trick to make all sinners think that they were the gods of this new world . All participants of this show would eventually reveal their real desire to the public, and the immortals in heaven would enjoy the hypocrisy of the sinners .
This was a wicked reality show!
Khan: "So I have no chance from the beginning!?"
Liu Yang: "Actually, you have . Just come back in one piece, and I'll teach you . "
Khan: "…"
Liu Yang: "Accept my guidance, brat . "
Khan was about to type that he accepted . Suddenly, painful feeling from his jaw and the previous cuts on his chest reappeared . Upon touching them, Khan found that his injuries remained even after he used the instant regenerative skill from [Immortal Yang Vein] .
He summoned his souls to examine the previous wounds . As he had suspected, the souls who received the cut and the strikes retained the previous injuries .
"I see . I can't even heal my souls with my regen ability . Is this the soul injuries I need to be careful about?"
Khan asked Liu Yang again, and he got his answer .
Soul injuries could not be healed by ordinary means or system skills . He had to stop using skills and his souls for a few years to recuperate, or he might die from chronic injuries .
