Free Web NovelChapter 395: Chapter 254: The God-Level Booster: Li Xiye (2)
The Dragon Scales all over Satan’s body burst open.
Faced with that utterly bizarre palm strike, Satan froze. He stared at the man before him, whose eyes were now completely different. The strangeness of the attack, combined with that new gaze, made him feel an inexplicable twinge of Fear.
That gaze was incomparably sharp, looking down on the world with cold indifference. It was as if... as if a different Soul had taken over this vessel.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chen, who was experiencing it all firsthand, was utterly stunned. He subconsciously screamed in his Soul, ’Are you fucking kidding me?!’
"Hmph—" Li Xiye smirked smugly. "Now do you see how your body is meant to be used?"
Zhou Chen didn’t answer, still reeling from the shock of that palm strike.
He knew his own body best. Just now, Li Xiye had only used ten percent of her Power—just ten percent!
But by using her Willpower to drive Aspiration of the Blue Clouds, supplemented by fine details like power-generation techniques and Essence application, that ten percent of her Power had somehow unleashed the might of a full-powered blow!
It was beyond ridiculous!
On top of that, Li Xiye had even shown off her monstrous Control Power, spreading the force of the blow evenly across Satan’s entire body to shatter his Dragon Scales.
’How the hell is anyone supposed to learn that?!’
’Oh, right, I can just copy it. Never mind, then.’
After his brief shock, Zhou Chen had already analyzed the most crucial component of that attack—Aspiration of the Blue Clouds.
Only with the boost from an extreme Idealist Type Extraordinary Skill like that could one use ten percent of their Power to achieve a hundred-percent effect. Anyone without Idealist Type Extraordinary Abilities would be utterly incapable of such a feat.
Even among Idealist Type Ascenders, those who could reach Li Xiye’s level were few and far between—perhaps even nonexistent.
"Next up is my ’Serious Punch: Youth Edition’," Li Xiye said.
"Why the ’Youth Edition’?" Zhou Chen asked, confused.
"Obviously. If I used my full power, this guy would be instantly vaporized, and you wouldn’t be able to help that friend of yours achieve his dream."
After their momentary telepathic exchange, Li Xiye had Zhou Chen’s body clench its fist. She grinned. "That’s why this is the Youth Edition!"
In that instant, a soul-shaking aura erupted from him.
Li Xiye wasn’t using her full Power, so there was nothing flashy about the punch. Even the Biological Electricity released by Aspiration of the Blue Clouds was concealed.
It was an unassuming punch, yet the immense "mass" it contained made Satan’s eyelids twitch wildly—as did the eyelids of everyone watching on screen.
Many older Ascenders shot up from their sofas, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at the punching motion—a motion practically seared into their DNA, into the very depths of their Souls.
The phantom pain of past, merciless beatings surfaced on their faces. freewebnσvel.cѳm
They were left in a prolonged stupor.
At that moment, Zhou Chen’s aura skyrocketed, growing fifty times stronger than it had ever been. It was utterly tyrannical and frenzied. The punch was just that terrifying—it was fucking wild, savage, powerful, and tyrannical!
What in this world could possibly withstand such a powerful fist? What could possibly stand against it!
In the silence, there was no blinding flash of light, yet the crack of a Thunderbolt erupted, a sound that rolled for dozens of kilometers, echoing throughout Akita Town.
Under the surge of destructive Power, two-thirds of Satan’s body instantly exploded, meeting a swift and utter annihilation.
It let out a heart-rending scream of Fear. Its remaining body dissolved into black ooze and shot backward, desperately creating distance. Once it reached what it deemed a safe range, it rapidly healed its wounds, regenerating and reshaping its body. Then, it condensed a new chitinous shell over its Dragon Scales, maximizing its Defense Power.
Trembling. Satan was suddenly struck by the realization that it was trembling in fear!
"Alright, that’s it for the demonstration. I’ll teach you more later," Li Xiye’s will receded. She chuckled softly. "Now, go do what you want to do."
"...Right."
Having regained his composure, Zhou Chen acknowledged her and exhaled. Violent arcs of lightning suddenly erupted from his body, swelling like a raging storm.
A vast, endless light of the Thunderbolt rose, and countless bolts of cyan lightning transformed into an ocean.
It surged through every street, every building, every corner...
...until it had swallowed every inch of Akita Town, forming a vast ocean of Thunderbolt spanning dozens of kilometers.
In truth, Zhou Chen had known Li Xiye was still alive ever since he saw that tombstone at the Li Manor.
No one else was around at the time, yet he had suddenly received a large amount of "wish value." After putting two and two together, he made a wish and subsequently saw Li Xiye making a "secret deal" with Jiang Che inside the villa.
A weight was lifted from his heart. He didn’t go to see her, because Li Xiye had made it very clear: undergoing the Heroic Trials required a state of absolute focus, and men would only slow down her punches.
After returning home, Zhou Chen had dug up a lot of intel from decades ago on the dark web, finding records related to Li Xiye from that era.
Based on his calculations, the Heroic Trials should have ended by now, so Zhou Chen guessed Li Xiye would definitely be watching the live broadcast of the Sword Forging Competition. That was why he had sought her help.
This was because today’s Aspiration of the Blue Clouds possessed a Derivative Ability.
—United as One.
By infusing the Willpower arcs of Aspiration of the Blue Clouds into people, she could temporarily grant them a boost of overwhelmingly powerful will—commonly known as a Lame Buff.
During this time, everyone’s Willpower would gather in Li Xiye’s hands, United as One, allowing her to unleash Power that surpassed individual limits.
And right now, Zhou Chen needed that Power.
With a thought, he used his Soul connection to locate the Emotional Outburst Gloves, which had fallen amidst the ruins. The ground beneath the gloves suddenly bulged, launching them across the distance and back to Zhou Chen’s side.
Zhou Chen put on the Emotional Outburst Gloves, made a wish, and created the "Justice Avatar."
At the same time, arcs of cyan electricity sank into the body of every child in Akita Town. A large number of arcs also surged into Jack and Renie, stimulating and strengthening their will.
Immediately after, Zhou Chen seamlessly transferred the Contract Ring to the "Justice Avatar."
Under the influence of the absolute Justice originating from Zhou Chen’s heart, a chorus of young, fierce shouts rang out across Akita Town.
"If heaven had not birthed I, John, the eternal ages would be as a long night!"
"At the apex of immortals, I stand proud above the world! Where I, Peter, am, there is the sky!"
"My three-foot blade, pristine as autumn water, is without peer in this world! This lord shall see just what Demon Fiends dare to plague my Akita Town!"
"Who stands at the peak at the end of the immortal road? When Andy appears, the Great Dao itself is naught... WAAARGH!!!"
"I grasp the sun and moon and pluck the stars from the sky; there is no other like me in this world! What vile creature dares to act so presumptuously! This lord will slay you, skin you alive, and rip out your tendons!"
"Nonsense! I’m gonna blast this Demon Fiend! Blast this damn, drop-dead Demon Fiend to bits, RAGH!"
"Eat this! You son of a bitch, today I will blast you to smithereens! This is for my dead parents!"
Even Renie started acting strange. She pulled a huge boombox from her fanny pack and started blasting the stirring, epic melody of "Hero’s Proof." She then took out a whetstone and began sharpening her long-unused Jet Sword, muttering, "A king cannot be humiliated... Even if I must bear the heavenly abyss on my back and hold up the Original Emperor City with one hand, I, Renie, am still invincible in this world..."
What was even stranger was that the BGM from the huge boombox was actually providing a tangible boost, increasing Zhou Chen’s Willpower by at least 30% as it resonated with the melody.
"..."
Zhou Chen was dazed. He turned his head to look at his Justice Avatar.
The Justice Avatar was shrouded in golden light, like a Saint Child walking the earth to spread light, its face sacred and solemn. But the reason the children had become so... hyper, was undoubtedly due to the influence of the Justice Avatar’s will.
And the influence was huge; the words they spoke were even automatically translated into over-the-top heroic monologues.
’Whatever. Let them be dramatic,’ Zhou Chen thought, forcing himself to keep a straight face. ’As long as it generates enough Spiritual Energy... this is actually a good thing.’ ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The more dramatic they were, the more righteous they felt. The firmer their Willpower and the purer their Soul, the stronger the Light of Spiritual they would generate.
