Chapter 104: Fusion

"Damn, playing for real?!" Ji Chen muttered. This Supernatural Ability core was quite good at playing with heartbeats.

The energy on the barrier flickered erratically, looking just like the lights at a rave, except the price for this light show might be becoming roast meat.

He tentatively threw a punch, his fist containing powerful Supernatural Ability smashing against the barrier, only to stir up a ripple; the barrier remained unmoved.

"Damn, so hard?"

Ceng Yue also attempted to attack the barrier with her own Supernatural Ability, but the result was the same, achieving nothing.

"Looks like brute force won't work." She withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly, a rare trace of gravity appearing on her cold face.

The surrounding barriers began to shrink slowly, the space becoming smaller and smaller, the air becoming thin, and the sense of oppression surging like a tide.

"Is this thing trying to squeeze us to death?" Ji Chen took a deep breath, feeling his lungs burning. Was this barrier not only hard but also poisonous?

He turned to look at Ceng Yue and found her face somewhat pale as well.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a bit stuffy." Ceng Yue shook her head, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead.

The barrier was still shrinking, and the distance between the two was becoming closer and closer.

Ji Chen could clearly feel Ceng Yue's breathing, smell the faint fragrance on her body, and an inexplicable sense of dryness and heat rose from the bottom of his heart.

He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his gaze falling on Ceng Yue's lips; that touch of crimson looked exceptionally alluring under the flickering energy light.

The surrounding air became increasingly scorching, as if an invisible fire were burning.

Ji Chen felt his body becoming hotter and hotter, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

He looked at Ceng Yue, who was close at hand, and inexplicably extended his hand, gently stroking her cheek.

"Ji Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice trembled, her eyes blurred.

"Don't speak..." Ji Chen's voice was hoarse and low, his eyes filled with longing, as if he wanted to swallow Ceng Yue whole.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips...

"This can't go on..." After an unknown amount of time, Ceng Yue pushed Ji Chen away, panting.

"Damn, this barrier is like a condom, shrinking tighter and tighter!" Ji Chen wiped his sweat. This taste wasn't good; it was like being stuffed into a giant's nostril, making it difficult even to breathe.

"Don't be poor," Ceng Yue rolled her eyes at him, her gaze still scanning the surroundings sharply. "We need to find a way out; brute force won't work, we need to find the barrier's weakness."

"Weakness? This thing looks like a whole, where would it have any weakness?" Ji Chen scratched his head, feeling his brain cells weren't enough.

Ceng Yue pointed to the flickering patterns on the barrier: "Look at these energy flows; there must be a pattern. Finding the pattern means finding the breakthrough."

"Pattern? I see a mess, like electronic sheep discharging..." Ji Chen curled his lips. "Might as well try my method, directly absorb this thing's energy and suck it dry!"

"Absorb?" Ceng Yue raised her eyebrows. "Are you sure you can absorb this high-concentration Supernatural Ability energy? Don't blow yourself up."

"Rest assured, I have it all under control," Ji Chen chuckled, full of confidence. "This thing looks intimidating, but it's actually nothing special. I, your young master, am..." He stopped abruptly, "a master of unique skills!"

Ji Chen pretended to close his eyes, feeling the violent energy fluctuations around him.

The barrier's energy was indeed powerful, like a pot of boiling magma; a slight carelessness would lead to being swallowed.

But he keenly sensed that in a certain corner of the barrier, the energy flow seemed to have a stagnation, like water meeting a reef, creating a small vortex.

"Got it!" Ji Chen opened his eyes abruptly, pointing excitedly at that corner. "That's it!"

He quietly operated his Supernatural Ability, placing his hand on the spot where the energy was stagnant, beginning to absorb the energy cautiously.

At first, the energy absorption speed was very slow, like using a straw to drink thick syrup.

But as time passed, the absorption speed became faster and faster, and the surrounding barrier energy began to become chaotic, the flickering frequency becoming higher, and the color becoming more vivid, like a giant disco ball.

"Damn, this thing really works!" Ji Chen shouted excitedly, his energy absorption speed increasing.

Suddenly, he felt a scorching aura rushing toward him; the temperature inside the barrier rose sharply, and the air became thinner, as if placed inside a giant steamer.

"What's going on?" Ceng Yue noticed the anomaly, her expression changing slightly.

Ji Chen looked at the flickering barrier, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. "This barrier... seems about to explode!"

The air inside the barrier became increasingly dry and hot, the flickering energy light like dancing flames, reflecting on Ceng Yue's flushed cheeks, adding a few more points of charm.

She looked at Ji Chen, her eyes flashing with admiration, as if he were her only savior.

Ji Chen was ignited by this gaze, a sense of uncontrollable impulse surging in his heart.

He pulled Ceng Yue over, their bodies clinging tightly together, feeling each other's body temperature, and the surrounding air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

"Ceng Yue..." Ji Chen's voice was hoarse and low, his hand gently stroking Ceng Yue's cheek, feeling the delicacy and smoothness of her skin.

"Ji Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice carried a hint of trembling, her hand wrapping around Ji Chen's waist, burying her head in his chest.

The two held each other tightly, as if intending to melt into each other.

The flickering energy light shrouded them, like a giant cocoon, isolating them from the outside world.

In this small space, there was only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeat, and that increasingly intense love.

"I love you, Ceng Yue." Ji Chen's kiss fell on Ceng Yue's forehead, gentle and affectionate.

"I love you too, Ji Chen." Ceng Yue's voice was barely audible, yet filled with firmness.

They held each other tightly again, pouring out their love in passion, as if intending to pour all their longing and desire into this embrace.

Ji Chen held Ceng Yue tightly, feeling her gentleness and fragility, his heart filled with infinite love.

Ceng Yue leaned in Ji Chen's arms, feeling his warmth and power, her heart filled with happiness and a sense of security.

Time seemed to stand still; the space inside the barrier became their Eden of love, filled with warmth and sweetness.

However, this beautiful time did not last long.

Suddenly, the barrier shook violently, the flickering energy light becoming violent and chaotic, like a volcano about to erupt.

A powerful force separated Ji Chen and Ceng Yue; they were thrown in different directions like kites with broken strings.

"Ceng Yue!" Ji Chen extended his hand, wanting to grab Ceng Yue, but could only watch helplessly as she drifted further and further away from him.

"Ji Chen!" Ceng Yue drifted away.

The changes in the barrier became increasingly violent, and the energy within the space became increasingly violent, as if intending to swallow everything.

"It's... it's about to explode..." Ji Chen looked at the constantly changing barrier and said these words with difficulty. ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
