Chapter 634: Fool
Wang Zikai burst out laughing with his hands on his hip, his expression haughty. “Stop boasting. I see nothing special...”
In his moment of distraction, Azure Dragon was already right before him. Wang Zikai started. The man had gotten faster!
Azure Dragon started swinging. He named the move A Thousand Simple Punches.
It felt as if a blanket of fists was closing in on Wang Zikai. He couldn’t tell the real one from the afterimage. Punches varying in power landed on him like rain. Although they did little damage to him, they rendered him helpless, and he was forced to back away.
Wang Zikai couldn’t even raise his hands. Whenever he tried to draw power to his arms, he was interrupted by Azure Dragon’s quick punches.
In five seconds, Azure Dragon made a thousand jabs. No more, no less.
Like a drummer playing an explosive tempo, the punches hit every muscle in the front side of Wang Zikai’s torso, the slight damage locking him in place. Then five seconds later, the flurry of attacks vanished altogether.
The relentless attacks left a one-second opening in Wang Zikai’s defense. When he recovered control, Azure Dragon had already charged his clenched right fist for a second.
Azure Dragon made a Charged Punch.
It landed on Wang Zikai’s chest squarely, sending him flying. His blurred figure flew along the street with three waves of sonic explosions and shockwaves. Then he crashed into the base of a retro clocktower at the center of the plaza.
Rumble. The clock tower came crashing down like a felled tree.
...
Front yard of Dr. Jia’s Mansion, half a minute before.
Core East and Veggie watched from afar as Elder Azure Dragon fought Wang Zikai.
“Elder Azure, Azure, Azure Dragon is hurt...” Veggie was anxious.
“Stop blabbering! I’m not blind!” Core East yelled at her irritatedly. “Listening to you talk gives me a headache!”
Veggie shut her mouth.
“Listen, trash!” Core East raised his Black Gold guitar. “Slow him down when you spot a chance. I’ll...”
Suddenly, Core East sensed a fierce gust coming from behind him. As someone sensitive to the change of current, he knew that it was no regular wind.
Without hesitation, he whirled around and strummed the strings. Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
“Ahhhh!!!”
He screamed as the guitar cried out, the resonation unleashing a powerful sonic attack in a specific direction. He had used his Talent, Lion Roar.
Azure Dragon clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He was going to finish Qing Ling in five seconds.
Even though she knew that she couldn’t win, Qing Ling didn’t back down. She raised her long blade and charged at Azure Dragon.
Rumble!
Just when a fight was breaking out, a great rumble came from underground. Then the land started shaking.
...
A minute before.
Black Fish entered the mansion through the back door and rushed to the basement, reaching a high-tech metal door.
He pounded on it. “Dr. Jia! Open up!”
Beep. A ray of light shot out from the peephole of the door, creating a hologram.
Dressed in a white lab coat with shorts and sandals, Dr. Jia stood by a few intricate lab machines.
Right before the machines was a small elevated platform, on top of which was a cubic culture dish that resembled a giant fish tank. There was a light blue liquid inside, and “fish” of different colors swam in it.
They weren’t fish, of course, but the vital energy of different Talents. Like living creatures, they felt out each other, chasing and tangling, attempting to come together.
A hundred and one times out of a hundred times, the experiment would fail.
However, Dr. Jia had the patience to make adjustments and improvements before starting the hundred-and-second experiment.
Fully focusing on the control panel before him, Dr. Jia muttered, “Hm, the temperature is a little high. The medium’s concentration is a little low. I should increase it by 2%...”
“Open up, Dr. Jia!”
Dr. Jia didn’t turn around. He snapped, “I told you not to bother me. I’ll finish the experiment...”
“Seven Shadow’s here to grab you! A fight’s broken out!” Black Fish shouted. “Open up, or I’ll bring the door down.”
“Geez, you’re annoying!” Dr. Jia put down the control panel and said, “Open.”
Clack. The metal door opened to the sides, and Black Fish rushed in, looking nervous. “Come with me now, Dr. Jia!”
Dr. Jia said flippantly, “No. I still have a lot of work...”
“You fool!” Black Fish slapped his own thigh in anxiety. “Nothing will matter if you die!”
