Chapter 58: Thud Thud Thud Thud (Thanks to the Leader who is always smiling)
Unlike Ji Jue, who had managed to cultivate rapidly in less than two months and forcefully activated all twelve symbols of the Supreme Blessing through sheer talent and stubbornness, Lou Feng was a true disciple who had started learning under Master Kong Qingyan at the age of seventeen.
The advantage of a formal education meant that while Lou Feng did not possess the bizarre tricks of the unorthodox practitioners, his foundational skills were solid and unyielding.
Though he was unable to achieve the same crazy results as Ji Jue, he had nonetheless already begun to integrate his own understanding into the blessings, producing a remarkable transformation.
To be able to accomplish this in such a short time already earned him the title of a genius.
Under the constraints of gravity, the white deer symbol trembled for a moment, unable to break free, failing to exhibit any effect.
The balance of order and chaos represented by Tianyuan and the white deer was naturally at odds with each other.
Whenever one side grew strong, the other would end up suffering.
In just a brief moment, the stagnant energy crystallized into a sharp force and pierced forward like a torrential rain, quickly followed by a deafening screech.
The pink shell, adorned with bunny and kitty stickers, shattered as the small ox rushed forward, vibrating violently.
Its plastic casing peeled off, revealing a deep gash through the middle!
“Beep beep beep!!!!”
The broken horn, left hanging on the vehicle’s body, continued to make noise.
Though the sounds were incomprehensible, they vaguely conveyed a sense of a foul-mouthed scolding.
“Haha!” Unable to hold back his laughter any longer, Lou Feng pressed on, “Is that all the skills a student of Master Ye has?”
While dodging, Ji Jue said nothing, only letting out a helpless sigh.
It was as if he was watching a child reach for a live wire, unable to dissuade them from their folly.
Don’t build resentment, buddy! We have no grudges against each other; why push yourself to such extremes?
“Ji Jue, take this seriously.”
Ye Xian glanced over, unable to tolerate Ji Jue's nonchalance. “Since they have sincerely come to seek guidance, at least show some of your true abilities.”
“Alright.”
Ji Jue nodded, casting a sympathetic glance at the smug Lou Feng.
You’re in trouble now; Professor Ye is quite petty…
What’s worse, my mind isn’t that big either!
In that moment, he finally pressed his hand against the little ox, unreservedly channeling all his spiritual energy into it.
The high-pitched sound of the horn surged, erupting like a roar of anger as the harsh grinding of metal filled the air.
In an instant, under Ji Jue's catalyst, the materials consumed were thoroughly digested, and the blessings from the wasteland flowed through the dragon's blood oil, rapidly spreading throughout his body, ushering his ordinary iron frame into a new transformation.
The last remnants of plastic casing and impurities peeled away from the raging vehicle, as if shedding its old shell, replaced by a formidable sheen of metal and the roaring flames from its engine.
In a flash, it expanded!
Breaking free from its invisible shackles, it took on the fearsome shape of a five-clawed beast! Gone were the exposed mechanical structures; in their place now stood a steel beast over three meters long, stretching its body as sharp claws dug deep into the ground, leaving behind profound gashes.
Its beastly visage had an expression as fierce as a wolf!
“Mutational composite?!”
Kong Qingyan's smug demeanor vanished instantly; her narrowed eyes widened. “That’s a mutational composite?!”
“Is it?” Ye Xian replied blankly, “He made it himself; I’m not quite sure."
“This is against the rules!”
“Didn’t the rules say there are no restrictions on methods or tools? I never limited your student from using matrices or alchemical products, did I?” Ye Xian mocked in response. “What’s wrong? When it’s someone else’s turn to face a predicament, you can’t handle it? Maybe you should give up fighting and go home instead.”
Kong Qingyan's eyelids twitched, her expression darkening.
She was going mad! Ye Xian was a lunatic, and evidently, his students weren’t normal either.
The entire system was filled with craziness from top to bottom!
You mean to tell me a novice of less than a year was allowed to create a mutational composite, and he even succeeded?
Who would believe that?
She nearly lost her cool, wanting to rush into the arena and grab Ji Jue by the collar, demanding, "Stop fighting already and tell me how you did that!"
Now, the situation on the field had completely turned!
The moment Ji Jue decided to use the little ox, it meant that Lou Feng’s phase of unbreakable defense was already over.
As the shell from the wasteland enveloped the little ox, it was Lou Feng's turn to experience what it felt like to be unable to defend himself!
And the straw that broke the camel's back came from Ji Jue's words:
“If we win, there’s a chicken leg.”
“Beep——！！！！”
The iron beast roared, charging forth under the blazing sun like a streak of iron light, slamming right into the hardened spiritual shield.
Its five claws struck in succession, causing sparks to fly in the air, leaving behind vicious marks on the spiritual shield.
“Get lost!” Lou Feng shouted angrily, waving his hand.
The sharp material suddenly manifested and pierced forward, and at that moment, the secret formula of the Entropy System silently activated on the ring, coating the blade with a dazzling flame too bright to behold.
The furious heat swept through, glancing against the steel monster, leaving it charred on the outside but having no real effect.
It didn’t even feel as if it had been hit?!
Something’s off; just a moment ago...
Lou Feng's pupils constricted as he recalled the aura he had sensed — it was the blessing of the white deer!
This time, when the flaming spiritual blade came crashing down, he finally saw what was happening: the place the blade was meant to strike first dissipated, turning into a vanishing shadow, and after the blade passed, it reformed anew!
— Shadow transformation!
That ghastly thing transformed part of its body into shadow, completely ignoring his attack!
Bang!
The dull crash of the shield breaking abruptly rang out, as the sharp tail shot forward like a spear, aiming for Lou Feng's head.
Just then, the necklace flashed again, unleashing a violent repulsion, pushing away all that sought to invade!
The little ox was flung backward!
But unfortunately, there was a cracking sound from Lou Feng’s fingertip.
A gemstone in one of his rings shattered silently.
At that instant, a bruise appeared on Lou Feng's hand, swelling quickly and bringing an indescribable pain and numbness.
The bullet hadn’t pierced his body but had been deflected by the shield on the ring and hit somewhere else.
Only now did the delayed gunfire echo from afar.
When he looked up, he saw the faint smoke rising from Ji Jue's gun.
He had fired!
With just one shot, it was already apparent Ji Jue had discerned the patterns and limitations.
This indiscriminate pushback effect most likely came from the white deer’s blessing, and it should be somewhat similar to the earlier gravity.
Surely, it was difficult to engage closely, but the fact that it was an unlimited 360-degree effect indicated an enormous consumption, surely it couldn't be maintained for long, otherwise, Ji Jue wouldn’t have bothered to continue the fight.
The most efficient way to use it was to maintain it for just a moment, repel the enemy, and then withdraw to create distance for a counter-attack.
And this critical moment, before the spiritual shield could reform, was absolutely essential!
And so, waiting... he hit!
“If we get to this point, it’s about time, Lou my brother.”
Ji Jue declared sincerely, “Just admit defeat. It’ll save us all some hassle.”
To be honest, he had no idea what Lou Feng's original tactics were; clearly, he was not abiding by the opponent’s expectations, causing most of their preparations to go to waste.
Now, with the little ox bursting out with firepower, the situation was completely different.
Both were chosen ones of the calling phase, neither had advanced, Lou Feng just had a matrix, but that didn’t mean he had significantly more spiritual energy.
The spiritual shield could not completely defend, and the repulsion field wouldn’t be able to maintain itself at any moment.
As long as Ji Jue wore him down, Lou Feng would naturally collapse without needing to attack.
But Ji Jue was backed by the spiritual energy reserve of the Heavenly Rail system and had a hidden blue bar several times longer than his own.
There was no contest.
For a moment, silence fell upon the field, with only the cries of sea birds echoing in the distance, mingling with the thundering sounds.
Boom!
A tremendous sound erupted.
Cracks appeared beneath Lou Feng’s feet.
“Admit defeat?”
The pale face lifted, bloodshot eyes reflecting sheer indignation at such a strange humiliation as it boiled into anger. “You’re really full of yourself!”
From the air, the sounds of shattering surrounded them, swirling confusion transformed between solid, liquid, and gas, bursting with intensity.
When Lou Feng crushed one of the beads on his bracelet, the spiritual energy that seemed on the verge of depletion suddenly restored rapidly, and even surged once more!
Time sand?!
Ji Jue nearly dropped his jaw in disbelief.
That massive bracelet was made entirely of time sand, a top carrier for spiritual energy.
Every single bead contained an energy equivalent to that of advance chosen ones?!
Such precious materials used for a disposable item?
Is this what you call money power?!
And apparently, it was more than that…
At this moment, vast amounts of spiritual energy surged, intertwining under the deft manipulation of Lou Feng, coalescing into a chaotic silhouette shrouding him completely until the ethereal energy finally shimmered with metallic light.
Faint spiritual circuits intermingled; the emblem of Tianyuan reappeared, forming an entirely new silhouette.
It was a suit of spiritual armor that covered Lou Feng in its entirety! It appeared as if cast in bronze, dotted with golden embellishments, with an aura both majestic and terrifying, rising like a living creature.
An art passed down in the Lou clan—
— Spiritual Shaping: Dragon Scale Armor!
“Master Kong, isn't this cheating?”
Ye Chun could no longer restrain himself and raised his voice.
The Dragon Scale Armor was a technique that could only be utilized by reborn chosen ones; it was entirely beyond the capabilities of either of them and exceeded more than one rank!
Kong Qingyan quickly countered, “All the alchemical products are made by him; all the spiritual energy is accumulated by him! He is merely unleashing his accumulated power; how can that be considered cheating?”
Ye Chun instinctively glanced at his aunt.
Yet Ye Xian remained silent, seemingly molded from mud and wood, offering no response.
In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, except for the distant sound of waves and the thuds from the road outside the wall.
As Lou Feng spread his arms, the gasified spiritual energy condensed into two fiercely blazing streams of energy blades, simply slicing the ground and creating deep fissures with the mere gesture.
Striding forward, he approached Ji Jue.
Strengthened by the Supreme Blessing, he accelerated and launched himself!
Meanwhile, Ji Jue could only silently sigh.
He knew this spoiled young master talked as if he was just farting.
Does he not look even the slightest bit ready to lose?
Wasn’t it supposed to be a thrilling showdown? But the moment you lose some blood and run out of blue, you want to spam ALTs like a madman and start playing dirty, huh?!
Don’t blame me for abandoning our camaraderie.
You started it!
“I really don’t want to use this move…”
He sighed regretfully, stepping back, then stepping back again, using the boost from the white deer to spring backward, utterly unconcerned about Lou Feng catching up, the distance between them shrinking.
Until he found himself backed into a wall.
In that moment, Kong Qingyan, who had been watching coldly, seemed to finally realize something.
Her expression changed, and she opened her mouth to speak, but it was already too late.
Thud thud thud thud thud—
The resounding sound of the water pump behind the wall grew fiercer, akin to an angry beating heart.
As Ji Jue raised his hand, it clenched tightly.
— [Car is coming]!
Boom!
Suddenly, a colossal steel creation shook vigorously and without warning, crashed through the outer wall of the factory.
From the swirling dust and flying bricks, it charged forth directly.
Head-on, straight towards Lou Feng!
But what emerged from the haze wasn’t a truck loaded with goods speeding past the street, it was a special vehicle that had been busy since the morning, parked by the side of the drainage ditch…
Dragging a hefty water pump hose along with a massive tank that made people’s stomachs churn with its foul odor.
This was the hidden option Ji Jue had been avoiding from the very beginning when he stood in the center of the arena: the ultimate evolution of the mud truck…
The shit truck!!!
