Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1467: Chapter 378: My Potential Surpasses Your Imagination (Part 4)

"I naturally understand, but what I want to tell you is that my body can not only accommodate 12 rules with different logic, but that’s far from the limit of its potential. If needed, I can accommodate even more Rule Power. In the future, perhaps mastering a hundred rules simultaneously is not just a dream, but a highly likely reality."

"By the way, the rules my body accommodates are not independent of each other; rather, they complement one another."

"You’re talking big!" The Dragon Descendant couldn’t hold back and spat out a phrase Ji Chen had taught him in his native language.

Having a body that can carry 12 independent rules is already outrageous. The concept of them complementing each other is beyond absurd; it’s abstract.

Ji Chen was completely discussing a concept that he couldn’t understand.

Ji Chen completely understood the Dragon Descendant’s astonishment.

Seeing is believing, much more than explaining.

At this moment, he raised his right hand, and as his fingertips trembled, the surrounding air suddenly turned viscous.

The wind in the twilight seemed to be grasped by an invisible power. It stopped abruptly for a moment, and a ball of glaring blue light rose in his palm.

It eventually converged into a blue Thunder Ball that carried a destructive aura, with every arc twisting and dancing in the Dragon Descendant’s eyes.

"This is Rushing Thunder."

He softly uttered these two words, and the thunder ball in his palm suddenly expanded. The light ball the size of a bowl instantly became a thunderclap, with arcs climbing on his arm like living creatures, yet they obediently restrained their sharpness upon touching his sleeve.

Perceiving this ability filled with a destructive aura, the Dragon Descendant then placed his hand above the Thunder Ball.

The sting in his palm made him realize this was not the Thunder Element Energy he recognized.

Its body, refined by several generations of ancestors, already possessed a certain level of Thunder Element Resistance.

Yet, this power could ignore its Thunder Element Resistance and cause damage, which assuredly meant this was Rule-level power.

Just as it was processing this shock, Ji Chen suddenly lifted the corners of his mouth:

"This is a critical hit."

As his voice fell, dense golden runes appeared on the surface of the thunderclap, precisely embodying the Critical Strike Soul Characteristic that could bring multiplicative amplification.

The already frenzied thunder trembled, with its blue arcs wrapped in a layer of intense golden brightness. The volume didn’t increase, but the Dragon Descendant clearly felt the destructive force inside rising instantaneously, stacking, and eventually stabilizing at five times the original strength.

To it, the feeling was like using two different absolute logics to leverage the same force.

Boom!

Ji Chen flicked his finger, and the thunderclap fired like a cannonball towards the cracked ground beyond the city, exploding in an instant with a loud bang. The scorched earth was pulverized into dust, and gravel vaporized, yet the air carried no scent of burning, only a trench several meters deep.

Ji Chen turned to see the Dragon Descendant wide-eyed and open-mouthed:

"This is just the fusion of two Rule-level powers. I can merge other Rule-level powers, allowing each attack to carry multiple Rule characteristics, ignoring any Resistance. My abilities also do not face the possibility of being countered by any attribute."

The Dragon Descendant opened its mouth, unsure of what to say.

It glanced at the trench not far away and then back at Ji Chen’s casual demeanor.

rules are enough for a race to grow into a regional dominator in the Monster World, even qualifying to gaze upon mountain peaks.

If Ji Chen’s description of mastering a hundred rules were true, it couldn’t even imagine what kind of growth potential this would bring.

It realized that this brother, who once sought advice on Combat Skills like a child in front of it, has now become a mountain it can’t measure.

"Do you want to see something even more shocking?"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Descendant momentarily fell silent, then clenched its fists and once again hammered Ji Chen’s chest hard.

A dull sound was produced, but the strength this time was noticeably lighter.

It grinned, revealing stark white teeth, while golden vertical pupils gleamed with a sense of satisfaction.

"You brat, you must have waited for this day for a long time, aren’t you really happy now, finally able to show off in front of me?"

Ji Chen rubbed his chest and shook his head with a smile:

"No way, I’m just giving you a surprise."

"It’s not a surprise; it’s clearly a shock." The Dragon Descendant withdrew its hand, but its heart was filled with infinite emotion.

Back then, the young lad who could barely survive under its protection has now grown to a height that even it must look up to.

Looking at Ji Chen’s side profile outlined by the setting sun, it vaguely saw two overlapping figures.

One was the inexperienced teenager fumbling to learn Cultivation Methods in a prison back then, and the other is the potential powerhouse now, casually declaring his mastery of twelve rules.

Its heart even generated a sense of paternal satisfaction and disheartenment.

It found that the sapling it had personally planted had unconsciously grown into a towering tree, making it exhausting to look upwards.

"Old Descendant, what are you daydreaming about?" Ji Chen waved his hand in front of the Dragon Descendant’s eyes:

"Could it be you’ve been scared silly by my power?"

The Dragon Descendant didn’t answer but suddenly stood up, spread its wings, and let out a thundering Dragon Roar.

The wave of sound stirred up a whirlwind that sent Ji Chen’s white hair flying wildly, and dust rose from the scorched earth below the city.

Distant clan members repairing the buildings inside the city raised their heads, their golden vertical pupils shimmering with doubt.

"Old Descendant, what madness?" Ji Chen’s sleeves fluttered loudly in the wind.

The Dragon Descendant slowly retracted its wings, and its golden vertical pupils shone brightly in the twilight. It extended its claw and heavily pressed down on Ji Chen’s shoulder:

"I’m happy for you."

Ji Chen was first taken aback, then his mouth uncontrollably lifted into a smile.

The last shard of the setting sun sunk into the ridges in the distance, and night surged up the city walls like a tide.

He raised his head and gazed at the horizon where the sky was changing color, his white hair fluttered like a faded battle flag in the wind.
