Free Web NovelChapter 125: Chapter 84: Unshakeable, Ultimate Skill
The two men in black were starting to question their entire existence.
They knew Chen Yu was an S-class Ability User, but he was just a first-year student. There had to be a limit to how absurd things could get, right?
This completely shattered all their expectations!
If he grew to Dongfang Yi’s level, wouldn’t he be unstoppable by anyone short of a True God?!
’Damned monster!’
The two men in black looked at each other, the same thought crossing both their minds.
Meanwhile, amidst the dust-shrouded sky, Chen Yu stood upon the air, bathed in blood.
He lifted a hand, and the heavens split open as a brilliant beam of light descended.
ZZZSSSHHH!!!
The Destructive Celestial Light erupted, piercing the void, its brilliance engulfing the world.
ROAR—!
On the ground below, the Godzilla-like beast roared as a dim, dark light rose from its body.
BOOM!!!
The Destructive Celestial Light descended with annihilating force. The world trembled as the light swallowed the massive beast’s body.
A destructive shockwave once again tore across the land, the ground bucking and rolling like a stormy sea.
The blast spread outward, destroying everything in its path.
The very air began to warp.
The beam of destruction looked as if it would tear a hole through the world itself.
Dozens of kilometers away, the two men in black were utterly dumbfounded.
’To unleash such a Destruction-Level attack even while grievously wounded...’ This sight shook them to their core.
Dongfang Yi raised his hand, downed his beer in one gulp, and watched the light in the city center, a glint in his eyes.
Time passed.
When the light faded, the crystallized ground had once again become scorched earth.
It was as if the area had become a Purgatory World, choked with dust and smoke.
Everything fell still.
On the scorched earth, a massive, pitch-black beast lay collapsed, its tough carapace shattered and bleeding.
The monstrous beast lay on the ground, motionless.
HRRRNNNGG...
But suddenly, a low-frequency hum sounded, and the motionless beast stirred.
VMMMM!!!
At that exact moment, Chen Yu, still in the air, lifted a hand. The ground shook as he forcibly ripped a massive boulder from the earth with his power.
WHOOSH!!!
The massive boulder tore through the air and, with a deafening crash, slammed down upon the monstrous beast.
The boulder shattered. The beast, which had just begun to stir, was slammed back down.
VMM!
An arctic chill erupted. Water vapor in the air condensed as a wave of extreme cold descended.
FWOOSH—!
With a two-handed push, a sustained Frost Storm surged forth like a roaring dragon, instantly freezing the massive beast into a mountain of ice.
Its Life Fluctuations plummeted to a critical low.
At the same time, pushing his control to the limit, he manifested another massive iceberg.
RUMBLE!!
Directing the iceberg, Chen Yu viciously smashed it down onto the monstrous beast. Ice shattered, and shards flew everywhere.
Grievously wounded, the monstrous beast lay motionless on the ground.
SWISH—!
In a flash, Chen Yu vanished, reappearing with a long, slender blade in his hand.
SQUELCH—!
He plunged the blade through the monstrous beast’s eye. Blood poured out, and the last trace of its Life Fluctuations completely dissipated.
THUD.
That single killing blow exhausted the last of his strength. Chen Yu’s body fell to the ground, his face deathly pale.
He gasped for breath, panting heavily.
A kill at his absolute limit.
He’d exhausted every trick up his sleeve, but without resorting to God’s Will, he had finally, truly, killed it.
But the cost had been enormous.
His Dantian’s Qi Sea was on the verge of being depleted.
His physical stamina was also nearly gone.
But he had killed it, after all. A smile broke through the blood and grime on his face.
’Nine million Source of Life, all in one go.’
’That’s even more Source of Life than I harvested from that Demon Lizard Person I killed last time.’
’Almost ten million!’
At that moment, his point total skyrocketed, jumping by a hundred thousand.
With that, his score now towered over everyone else’s, creating an unbridgeable gap.
More than one hundred thirty thousand points—it was beyond all limits.
According to the competition rules, slaying a Level 7 Mutant Beast was worth one hundred thousand points.
However, it was considered almost impossible for any student to achieve this.
The gap was too vast.
Its defense and attack were simply overwhelming.
Those who could kill a Level 6 Mutant Beast were already few and far between.
Let alone a Level 7.
Compared to the increase in points, however, Chen Yu didn’t care.
The Source of Life was his main focus.
’Even though it exhausted all my energy and abilities, this haul was more than worth it.’
’A sudden nine million Source of Life, and adding that to what I had before, I’ve harvested around fifteen million in total this time.’
’My Source of Life is over ten million!’
’Though, compared to the Source of Life needed to upgrade my Skills, this is only enough for one.’
’Still, it was worth it.’
’I need to get out of here.’ After recovering a sliver of strength, he activated his Divine Speed Power and vanished in an instant.
——
「Capital City. Superpower Academy office.」
A dozen or so academy representatives stared, dumbfounded, at the scores on the big screen.
"One hundred thirty thousand..."
’Is this... correct?’
The first-place score was glaringly obvious.
Just a moment ago, his score had jumped by nearly twenty thousand points. Now, it had shot up by a hundred thousand all at once.
A sudden increase of one hundred thousand points could only mean one thing: he had killed a Level 7 Mutant Beast.
Even Dongfang Yi, back in his day, would have been outshone by such a terrifying score.
And the twenty-four hours weren’t even over.
They weren’t even halfway through, yet his score had already skyrocketed to over one hundred thirty thousand.
And it could still go higher.
The office fell deathly silent.
The representatives from the European and American academies had fallen completely silent.
’Cheating?’
’With a result this conspicuous, that’s impossible.’
’This Chen Yu... he really has the power to slay a Level 7 Mutant Beast.’
This kind of power gap couldn’t even be described as freakish anymore. He was a goddamn monster!
It seemed his position as number one was now set in stone.
