Chapter 245 - Anchoring the Overpowering Cloud Whale with One Finger

The huge cloud whale traveled in the air as if it was swimming in the ocean. Just the sight of the cloud whale made Lin Yao feel oppressed, and he realized the cloud whale condensed by Lǚ Yang was more than just a superficial transformation. There were also extraordinary changes to it.

After he condensed the huge cloud whale, Lǚ Yang’s emotions also eased, and he regained his calm composure.

There was calmness, as well as arrogance about him. This was because, with the cloud whale, he didn’t think that Lin Yao would be able to turn the tide.

While he was condensing the cloud whale, of course, Lin Yao would not sit around and do nothing. Without any hesitation, he shot out the tungsten alloy pellet again and blasted the huge cloud whale with massive kinetic energy. However, he was surprised by what happened next. When the pellet hit the armor of the cloud whale, it actually sank into it.

He could sense the pellet becoming increasingly slower as it entered the body of the cloud whale. As a result, Lǚ Yang no longer needed to blow up the water vapor. He only needed to move slightly in the cloud whale to duck Lǚ Yang’s Super Electromagnetic Gun.

“What is this? A force field? A territory?”

Unable to figure out the situation, Lin Yao furrowed his brows. As he was feeling puzzled, Lǚ Yang’s calm voice was heard.

“This is the ultimate move that I have been practicing for the battles of the Hidden Dragons List. I didn’t expect to use it on you. You should feel proud to be defeated by this move.”

“Do you think I will lose?”

“Of course, do you think those cheap tricks of yours will be able to avoid the detection of the cloud whale?”

Seemingly assuming that Lin Yao would continue to hide using light and shadow refractions, Lǚ Yang simply controlled the cloud whale, making it open its enormous mouth and sing a whale song.

“Oooo…”

As the cloud whale began to squeal, a deep, ethereal, indescribable sound traveled to Lin Yao’s ears. Upon suddenly hearing this sound, Lin Yao felt as if his head had been hit by a giant hammer.

In addition to the sound, along with the whale song, a strange and mysterious turbulence was also transmitted in the air. Amid the turbulence, Lin Yao felt the sky turn into a deep sea. Overwhelmed by pressure, his refracted figure shattered immediately, exposing his actual body.

“Did you see that? This is my real strength. Your little tricks aren’t gonna fly against me.”

After condensing the cloud whale, Lǚ Yang, who felt that victory was in the bag, displayed his prowess, hoping to see Lin Yao looking terrified. Unfortunately, he was disappointed. After the initial shock, Lin Yao no longer had any fear on his face.

Under the circumstances, Lǚ Yang did not plan to let Lin Yao continue to stand there. He was unable to sustain the cloud whale’s transformation for a long time.

“Do your best to dodge it. I am not proficient in this move. Don’t blame me if you get seriously injured.”

As he said these words, the cloud whale that Lǚ Yang had transformed suddenly leaped into the sky like a whale jumping out of the sea with an imposing aura.

When it ascended to the top, the 100-meter-long behemoth plummeted straight toward Lin Yao. As soon as it landed, a huge force field also appeared around Lin Yao’s body and immobilized him. Unable to move one bit, he was like a fly enclosed in amber.

“This is the final blow!”

Lǚ Yang didn’t need to say that. All the onlookers could sense the aura and understand the meaning of this blow.

While Lǚ Yang unleashed this move, Elder Wei, who was sitting on the platform, and Bodyguard Sha Feng, who was beneath the platform, were already preparing to rush to Lin Yao’s rescue.

Even they didn’t think Lin Yao would survive after the whale landed. The scene of the cloud whale leaping in the sky was too stupefying.

However, as they were anxious and ready to take action, Lin Yao, who was standing in the sky, said, “Your ultimate move is fairly good, but… what makes you think you’re the only one who has an ultimate move?”

“What?!”

Lin Yao’s voice was not loud, but the entire audience could hear it. Lǚ Yang’s heart turned cold, and he had a sense of foreboding.

“Impossible! I’m sure you used all your strength earlier. How can you possibly have another move?!”

Lǚ Yang believed that Lin Yao had unleashed all his strength, but when he hollered furiously, the cloud whale under his control plunged with greater force.

Lin Yao closed his eyes the moment the whale landed. After a breath of time, he opened them again, but his body didn’t seem to have changed one bit.

Although Lin Yao’s figure hadn’t changed, everyone around him felt that Lin Yao had changed.

Both the onlookers and the falling Lǚ Yang sensed the difference in Lin Yao.

An inexplicable aura had appeared on Lin Yao. It was as if he had become the epicenter of the sky and the earth.

The aura made some of the onlookers reluctant to look away. It also stirred up panic in Lǚ Yang’s heart.

However, a smile appeared on his face again when he discovered that he had already landed in front of Lin Yao.

“Regardless of how you’ve changed, it’s too late now!”

“Hurry up, dodge!”

“It’s over. He’s going to be hit.”

“This is a blow that has gathered the entire strength of the cloud whale. It’s peerless at the same level.”

“Martial artists and warlords focus on body training. Silver-level ones nurture the soul, while gold-level ones unite the body and mind. Lǚ Yang’s cloud whale already has a soul, and his strike contains golden strength. It’s impossible to dodge it.”

“What a pity. Lin Yao should have some more moves, but no matter what hidden moves he has, it’s too late now.”

It was not only Lǚ Yang. Everyone else also thought that although Lin Yao had undergone a transformation, it was too late, as the cloud whale had already landed.

As they had this thought in mind, Lin Yao, who had become the epicenter of the sky and earth, underwent another transformation. He didn’t move his entire body. Instead, he lifted a finger and pointed it toward the falling cloud whale.

At the sight of this, the onlookers felt that Lin Yao had lost his mind. How could he possibly resist a 100-meter-long cloud whale with one finger?

“Do you think you are a king? Since you don’t want your finger anymore, I will take it.”

No one believed that Lin Yao could stop the cloud whale by extending his hand. Just as they started shaking their heads, the huge cloud whale landed completely and smashed toward Lin Yao’s body.

As Lin Yao had raised his hand, the first thing that the falling cloud whale touched was his finger.

Ding!

When the cloud whale landed, Lin Yao’s finger tapped its forehead lightly. Following that, a shocking scene occurred in the sky.

When Lin Yao tapped his finger, the huge cloud whale actually froze in the sky.

The huge cloud whale was 100 meters long. Standing in front of it, Lin Yao seemed as weak as an ant. Nevertheless, he actually stopped the huge cloud whale with a light tap of his finger.

This exaggerated, stunning scene silenced the clamor on the square.

Everyone, including the Flowery Sect, the other dojos, the martial artists, the warlords, and even the powerhouses in the Flowery Sect building, was so dumbstruck that they entered a trance upon seeing this.

The silence lasted for quite a while. Some time later, shouts of disbelief echoed in the air.

Bam—

“Ouch… It hurts. I’m not dreaming.”

“Impossible. Isn’t Student Lin Yao just a warlord? How could he possibly stop the cloud whale? Even the champion of the Hidden Dragons List can’t do that.”

“Oh my god! Who the hell is this Lin Yao?!”

“This is staged. I’m certain that this match is staged. It’s impossible for a warlord to achieve this.”

…

The sight of Lin Yao stopping the cloud whale with one tap of his finger had left everyone speechless. Amongst these people, Lǚ Yang suffered the greatest shock. As the one controlling the cloud whale, he was the most stunned and terrified upon discovering that the huge cloud whale could no longer move.

“Impossible. This is absolutely impossible! Move! Come on, move!”
