## Abilities & Powers

 **Weapon Expertise** | * Tiang Cheng has demonstrated a great ability of using a varied range of weapons, including guns, javelins, knives, crowbars, and others.

## **Evolved Powers**

* At the start of the series Tian Cheng showed a flexible way of fighting updating the (**situation**, **combining hand-to-hand combat** and the use of many **short and long-range weapons)**. However, as he keeps evolving and finding stronger enemies he focused more on close combat as a way to exploit better his physical abilities. Then, upon obtaining Meteor he settles in this style and adopted the sword as his main weapon.

## **Unique Powers**

In this form, Tiang Cheng's hair turns white, his eyes become completely black, with reddish-orange iris and red pupils, and 3 red strings appear below them. Also, the skin from his neck to below turn dark with red patterns along with it, strangely resembling Teacher Luo Black Armor in a troubling manner. His Muscle Strengthening completely mutated and fully merged with it, transforming into the **Fallen Strengthened Body**.
Since Tian Cheng technically became a Fallen One but managed to retain his consciousness, he could theoretically be categorized as a Black Armor if not for the fact that he doesn't need to eat blood and raw meat. His ability could also be classed as a Transformation type since it raises several attributes during the time it's evoked and provoke physical changes.
In his fight with Hu Feng, the black armor revealed a level of defense superior to Tian Cheng Peak Stage 3 of his past life, an attack power capable of blasting a Stage 3 Hu Feng to the next building, along with an overall increase in his body constitution and ultra-high-speed recovery. It is interesting to note that all these capacities reflect those of the 2 Leaders' fragments he absorbed, including mental capacity since it allowed him to enter his Spiritual Space (although it was only temporary). Tian Chang is also capable of manipulating higher grade energy than Hu Feng, probably due to the mix of the 2 Leaders' viral energy, and his past life knowledge and mastery of energy control.
However since it increased his raw strength to the point where it matches those in Stage 3, Tian Cheng stated that to breakthrough he will need more than 10 times the energy necessary to a common evolved.

* **Armor Shift -** The special power that Tian Cheng obtained after reaching Stage 3 of evolution. It allows him to freely control the armor produced by his Fallen Strengthened Body, moving it anywhere he wants along with strengthening and weakening its scales individually. Due to his resonance with Meteor, he can even shift it onto the blade, drastically increasing its explosiveness and penetrative power. The flexibility and low energy cost of the ability make it a perfect single-target attack.
