Boom!
The sound of thunder could be heard, echoing.
The world had lost its color.
Su Hao’s retreating steps halted. Although the black light on his body had faded to the degree that one could neglect, he knew that he couldn’t escape this time! The power of that man from Nine Snakes had locked onto him. Those series of lightning might fall at any moment, striking him down.
This was coming from a level three world esper!
A power that had truly reached the peak of the world realm! Su family’s Old Ancestor, Tian family’s Old Ancestor, Li Lei… Su Hao could feel the familiar elements from this aura.
He couldn’t escape.
To block it head-on was his only way!
Su Hao raised his head, looking at the sky. He knew that even if one was powerful, one couldn’t lock on to a person out of thin air. Plus, that person didn’t know his true name. The only information that person had was most probably his fake name, Wu Ming. Thus, this must be coming from the aura left by Fa Yuan. In order words…
That person only had one chance to attack him.
“One attack.”
Su Hao stopped.
Rather than trying to run from an attack that is faster than his speed and end up dead, might as well take this fatal blow head-on and see if he could withstand it! Despite the horror of a peak world esper, since it was that far away… it shouldn’t be that powerful, right?
Plus, did he have any other option?
Su Hao smiled bitterly.
It was at this moment that the sky was suddenly filled with a bright light.
“It’s about to come!”
Su Hao was shocked.
Whether he will survive or not, there was only this one chance! With Xinghe Sword summoned with the remaining Shadowless God Needles, only over a dozen of them remained since the huge battle earlier had consumed a lot of his strength. Su Hao coldly stared at the sky. It was at this time that a black thunderbolt arrived.
Boom!
The clap of thunder was earth-shattering. The black lightning bolt came down from the sky, causing the surrounding space to distort. Even Su Hao’s complexion changed after he had made preparations.
“Come!”
All his Shadowless God Needles attacked!
Swish!
More than a dozen Shadowless God Needles burst out.
In front of the black lightning bolt, they didn’t persist for even one millisecond before turning into nothing. Su Hao’s unsuccessful display of his origin technique came to an abrupt end.
Strong!
Too strong!
When he saw the might of the black lightning bolt, Su Hao was completely stunned.
How could this be?
Even after being embedded in Fa Yuan for a long time, the power displayed by that person was not any weaker than Li Lei!
How could this be?
Even Li Lei couldn’t be this powerful! With such strength, how could he resist?! Forget about fleeing, after one millisecond, Su Hao would be bombarded till nothing of his body remained.
“What to do then?”
Su Hao’s mind was working as quickly as possible.
It seemed as if time had slowed down while his thoughts accelerated. He kept analyzing and deducing non-stop. Could this guy really be stronger than Li Lei? No, absolutely impossible. Even if a grade S talent esper has an inherent advantage, Li Lei was a man who had taken half a step into the territory of being the strongest esper.
Then, why was this force so powerful?
Unless…
Could this guy’s ability talent, no, the more appropriate word would be Rule Force, it itself is a super long-range type?!
“I can’t be this unlucky, right?”
Su Hao faintly gave a bitter smile.
An ultra long-range talent is extremely rare. As for Rule Force, it was even rarer that one could say no such thing exists.
Talent… Domain… Rule Force… All three levels followed the same natural path; such a path was so difficult!
Wan Cheng already found it very miserable to obtain his wave force. If not for his extremely strong talent and had the blessing of having nine spiritual fishes, he would have no qualifications to step into the world realm. Even with an average ability talent, one might not even have the confidence to be able to achieve such a feat, let alone an ultra rare long-range talent.
Right now, there was one, and it happened to be grade S talent!
Yet Su Hao encountered such a character. How bad was his luck?! An ultra long range ability would only exert its best potential against an ultra range target. On the contrary, its close combat capability wasn’t strong. Su Hao had encountered someone with a similar type of talent, such as Ming Feng, during the college entrance exam.
Curse talent.
These types of talent are usually long-range, although they were very rare.
This grade S talent esper in front, the current strength was because of this type of talent? Moreover, it is one of the best?
As for the talent in Nine Snakes, one can’t measure it with common sense.
Especially the nine leaders, he was pretty sure that each one had an abnormal talent! The ascetic monk was abnormal, and this powerful man as well.
“What to do then?”
“How to defend?”
The black lightning bolt came in an instant that Su Hao found that he could only wait for his death!
Too strong.
Too strong that he had no chance to resist! Even though Su Hao had considered everything in his calculation, he would have never thought that the other party happened to be someone with a super long-range talent that is akin to a curse. After all, this was deduced via Illusion Reality. If it were Li Tiantian’s future prediction, he would probably be able to see this in advance.
“I’m about to die?”
Such thoughts came into Su Hao’s mind.
Boom!
The black thunderbolt fell.
Su Hao’s mouth revealed a bitter smile. At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight heat on the right side of his body, and a dazzling light rose into the sky.
“This is…”
Su Hao’s pupils suddenly widened. When he saw what was flying out clearly, he burst into laughter, “How could I forget about it!”
A black and white light opposed each other.
The power of the black lightning bolt was amazing as it carried a dense aura of death. Even though it wasn’t a curse, it must not be something of a positive force. However, the white brilliance gave one a feeling of unimaginable softness that made one happy. As the two forces confronted each other in mid-air, an eruption bloomed.
Boom!
Waves of ripples dispersed.
The world quaked.
The powerful aura awakened everyone in the nearby cities. What surprised Su Hao was there was no way to lock onto him without knowing his identity. That man only had one shot! After the black lightning bolt vanished, the brilliance in the sky also followed suit.
“I live!”
Su Hao rejoiced with the new lease of life.
Swish!
From the sky, a stone fell quietly.
Su Hao reached out and caught it. This is an ordinary stone that wasn’t ordinary in any way, and it brought him an incredible surprise, Star stone. In Taihu Territory, this magical treasure he obtained from King of Fire had saved his life at the most critical moment.
Since it was a super long range talent, then with a probability of ninety percent, it would be the curse or disaster type. Anyway, the enemy won’t be casting him any luck techniques.
And this was the Star stone’s only role.
“Thanks.”
Su Hao clenched the Star stone.
After one use, the Star stone had completely turned into an ordinary stone, and it no longer possessed any strength. It could only recover slowly now and would remain unusable for a short period of time. Putting the Star stone away, Su Hao noticed that several red dots on the 2D map were approaching him. Thus, he immediately left.
Two huge battles in succession.
The first one was against Fa Yuan. It was such a large scale battle that the espers in the surrounding cities would probably be shocked by the battle. As for the second battle, it was even more amazing. Such a scale of aura, how could that not move them? Su Hao still didn’t wish for his identity to be exposed this early.
One needs to note that the current him was Wu Ming.
The name ‘Su Hao’ was still the clan head of the Su family, one with great wits but a cripple who can do nothing. Each time he surfed the net, he could see how many of his fans were comforting each other for being taunted by enemies…
If they knew that Su Hao had stepped over those level one world espers, how would they feel?
In the world’s eyes, Su Hao was still one with amazing talent but got crippled just after he broke through into the domain realm. Such a situation was very common. After all, there were too many talented espers. In the end, how many manage to step into the world realm and become strong?
How many people had died during the battle in Taihu Territory?
They were merely bones on the path taken by the strong espers!
The other reason why he left was because of the Nine Snakes’ strength.
This wasn’t a joke. Now that he had personally experienced how powerful Nine Snakes are, Su Hao didn’t have the wish to send himself to death. It was still fine when he was Wu Ming, but when his real identity as Su Hao gets exposed… Well, Su Hao could already foresee the situation of the Su family being trampled.
“This is indeed troublesome.”
Su Hao was helpless.
After all, this was a matter of strength. He was still weak. If he had the strength like Li Lei, what’s there to be afraid of? Of course, when that time arrives, he would have to face new challenges.
Su Hao rubbed his temple.
With his improvement in strength, his view of the world had constantly changed. In the past, during his times in Jianghe City, he thought that being a specialized esper was sufficient to protect his family! After the beast tide, he thought that professional espers were the real powerhouses. When he arrived at Zhanzheng College, he thought that he could control his destiny by being a domain esper.
Then after leaving Zhanzheng College…
He found that even the strength of an ordinary world esper was insufficient!
Is a peak world esper strong enough?
Of course, one could clearly see this point from the earlier attack. Su Hao had no way to escape such a powerful move. However, so what? Su Tiancheng, Li Lei, the Tian family’s Old Ancestor…
Which one of them is untouchable?
In this chaotic world, how hard is it to protect your own family? Only when one becomes the strongest esper can you truly change everything.
Su Hao set a new goal for himself.
The strongest esper!
He must become the strongest esper!
“Seems that I need to accelerate the process of collecting talents.”
Su Hao’s eyes lit up. At first, he planned to collect the talents steadily, but the current crisis had stimulated him. With his current strength, it was impossible to hide behind the big powers. Sooner or later, even if Nine Snakes didn’t take action, he would be found out by the Origin Ability Association.
“Nine Snakes… Origin Ability Association…”
Su Hao grumped.
Since he couldn’t hide, there was no need to hide!
Nine Snakes was aware that there was him as the enemy, but the Origin Ability Association wasn’t aware yet. Although if he were to continue this, he would soon be discovered by the Origin Ability Association. What if he is to go to the Origin Ability Association at this time? What would Nine Snakes think when a secret enemy and Origin Ability Association were banding together?
Would Nine Snakes still put the bounty on his head?
Can Nine Snakes avoid a war?
Presumably, something interesting will happen.
Su Hao’s mouth revealed a smile, “It seems that I need to pay a visit to the Origin Ability Association.”
