Tony heard that he could try it out freely, and he also knew that choosing Renoli right after starting was not a wise choice.
Because everyone else was fighting, and Renoli was the only one resting, it was clear that Renoli must have won against many people.
But even knowing he would lose, Tony didn't care; it was just the cost of a meal, what mattered was having fun.
However, to decide the victor, Tony wouldn't easily admit defeat.
After half a year on Xandar, he had Evolved twice a week on average, and had now Evolved 124 times.
He wasn't sure how strong he was.
When he first arrived on Xandar, he was new and needed to find a way to earn money, so he focused entirely on research.
He didn't have time to seek out strong enemies or equal opponents to gauge his own strength.
Now that his money-making ventures were gradually on track, he rarely went out. Knowing about this competition, he felt he had to test his strength, or he wouldn't be doing himself justice.
So Tony tossed a ball, then leaped high and hit it with three-tenths of his strength.
With a "bang!", the volleyball swiftly flew over the net, precisely striking the spot behind Renoli.
Renoli instantly vanished from his original position, caught the ball, then leaped high and hit it with force.
The volleyball unleashed an even more ferocious attack, descending with immense power.
When Tony caught it, he felt the impact and was pushed back three meters.
Fortunately, Renoli's attack was aimed at him, and he was standing in the center of the court, more than seven meters from the boundary.
If Renoli's shot had attacked the edge of the boundary, catching that ball would have been enough to send him out of bounds and lose a point.
This made Tony look at Lacey and Kyle, who were fiercely battling behind him; those two guys must have been used to it long ago.
"You can directly block and then serve, but I have some advice for you."
"To win, the speed from receiving to serving must be fast, the serve must be fierce, and the power must be strong."
"Being able to precisely control your power is the key to victory; brute force alone doesn't mean you'll win."
"Kyle suffered a lot for this initially, and had to treat many meals."
Renoli saw Tony's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he explained.
"Can I use tools?"
Tony said thoughtfully after hearing these words.
"Although I'd really like to try with you."
"But this itself is a competitive sport for entertainment and exercise. Since it's a competition, it naturally needs some fairness."
"If we use auxiliary tools or superpowers, it would be putting the cart before the horse."
"However, there will be other sparring matches in the future, and I can definitely try my best against you then."
Renoli shook his head and smiled, his eyes showing a fighting spirit as he finished speaking.
After seeing the stronger performance of Tony's Iron Man Armor last time, he actually really wanted to spar with Tony.
This way, he could have a hearty battle, compare their strengths, and also increase his combat experience when facing opponents who primarily rely on high technology, but unfortunately, it wasn't possible yet.
Tony nodded upon hearing this, tried a few more times, and found that after reaching forty to fifty percent of his strength, he would burst the volleyball.
"If I can't use external forces, then using some of my own power should be allowed, right?"
After roughly understanding, Tony said as he caught the ball Renoli threw back to him.
"Tony, I remember you're not a superhuman, are you?"
"Besides that armor, what other power do you have?"
"Why don't you show it and try?"
Renoli didn't immediately deny it, but rather said with interest.
"Alright, then let me try again."
Tony gripped the volleyball, and purple Void Energy appeared in his right hand.
He had witnessed Harvey's spatial teleportation ability, and Harvey said it was a type of Void Magic.
So Tony also tried every means to obtain some Void Energy, and currently, he still had no clue about Void Magic.
However, multiple Evolutions had given him more Void Energy.
So Tony infused it into this volleyball, and under the pack of the purple energy, the volleyball looked like a demonic ball burning with purple Fire.
Under the purple light, it instantly attracted many spectators.
"Where does this power of yours come from?"
Renoli's eyes flickered as he saw the change in the volleyball in Tony's hand.
"It comes from the Evolution of the Void."
"I'm just using power from the Void, it shouldn't be against the rules, right?"
Tony said.
"No, in fact, it makes it more interesting."
"It seems the quality of the volleyball has become stronger; it seems it can withstand more power."
Renoli, hearing that it came from the Void, also said eagerly.
The Void God Cult basically focuses entirely on strengthening their physical bodies and their five senses.
Although they had seen god-like beings display various terrifying abilities when worshiping the Void, none of them had any clue how to master that kind of power.
Now Tony had actually displayed an energy transformation, meaning they could also Evolve to master this power.
If a new, unknown direction of Evolution was revealed and they didn't understand it, then they couldn't claim to be pursuing Evolution.
"Catch this."
Tony nodded upon hearing this, then tossed the ball high into the air in front of him.
Then he leaped up like an eagle soaring, and the purple energy attached to the volleyball burst forth with an even more dazzling light.
Tony hit it with full force, and with a "boom!", the volleyball withstood Tony's power, like a purple demonic star, attacking Renoli.
This scene was very spectacular; the purple volleyball was like a purple demonic star cutting through the air, leaving a trail of purple streaking light, carrying a terrifying impact, as if it was about to fall to the earth and destroy everything.
Renoli saw this scene and no longer dared to be overconfident. Within the fifteen-meter volleyball court, dozens of Shadow clones instantly appeared.
With the added speed, Renoli used the momentum to meet Tony's full-powered demonic ball.
When the demonic ball landed on Renoli's hands, with a "bang!", the impact began to erupt.
A crater immediately appeared in the ground beneath Renoli's feet, and the terrifying impact made it difficult for Renoli to lift his hands.
Renoli let out a series of low growls, and a ten-meter wide, over one-meter deep crater appeared in the ground before he managed to push the ball up and catch it.
This scene made everyone around them widen their eyes, their gazes filled with disbelief. They had also heard a few words earlier.
Tony's shot carried energy from the Void; this kind of power was unheard of.
However, seeing this impact, they all came to a consensus: mastering Void Energy could give them even greater power.
