Chapter 126: Triumphant Return, Supernatural Legend

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's hearts pounded, as if beating war drums.

Every step was taken on invisible energy strings, shaking the air until it hummed.

That seven-colored portal was like the mouth of a giant beast, emanating heart-palpitating light, as if to swallow them.

The supernatural energy within their bodies was also pulled by this powerful fluctuation, surging crazily like a wild horse without a bridle.

A golden flame ignited around Ji Chen's body; this was the power he had newly acquired, symbolizing invincibility.

Ceng Yue released dots of starlight, circling around the two, constructing a defensive barrier, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

The two looked at each other; without the slightest hesitation, they held hands and plunged into that mysterious portal.

A flash of white light before their eyes, an intense sense of dizziness instantly striking, as if placed in a space-time tunnel.

When they could see the scene around them clearly again, they couldn't help but be stunned.

This is...

The Center Plaza of the Urban Ability World!

The plaza was empty, quiet to the point of being eerie.

Immediately after, bursts of exclamations broke the silence.

Those Ability Users who were originally training in the Ability Tower appeared around the plaza instantly, as if pressed by a fast-forward button.

They widened their eyes, opened their mouths, as if seeing something incredible.

Ji Chen felt the countless gazes cast from around, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, a sense of pride arising spontaneously.

He was like a king returning in triumph, accepting the cheers and awe of the crowd.

This feeling of being watched by everyone is simply too awesome!

Ceng Yue remained in her cold manner, but in the eyes she looked at Ji Chen, there was a trace of imperceptible tenderness.

She knew that all this was what Ji Chen deserved.

He proved himself with strength, and also proved the feelings between them.

"Holy crap, isn't that Ji Chen? He actually came back?"

"Who is the woman beside him? So beautiful, and her temperament is too cold, right?"

"The aura they emanate is so strong, could it be they've become even stronger?"

Various discussions reached Ji Chen's ears, surging like the tide, but he didn't take them to heart.

He just wanted to enjoy this hard-won glory; after all, he was no longer that little person who could be bullied by anyone.

He opened his arms, feeling the energy surging in the air, as well as the gazes cast by everyone.

An unprecedented sense of confidence surged in his chest.

"Tsk tsk, it seems someone isn't convinced." Ji Chen smiled lightly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

He saw in the crowd, a few malicious gazes fixed tightly on him,

"Hmph, then come and try." Ji Chen hooked a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

The air on the plaza seemed to have solidified, the sour smell of jealousy spreading in the crowd.

Some Ability Users who considered themselves quite strong buzzed like mosquitoes, yet didn't dare to come forward.

They discussed Ji Chen's good luck sourly, arranging the scandals between him and Ceng Yue, attempting to belittle his achievements with words.

"Cut, isn't it just

"Shh, keep it down! Do you want to die? Didn't you see the woman beside him? That's an Intermediate Ability User; she could slap you to death in one go!" Another man, looking like a skinny monkey, hurriedly covered his mouth, his eyes filled with fear.

Ji Chen took in all these discussions, a look of disdain curling the corners of his mouth.

He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, and a ball of golden flame appeared out of thin air, burning fiercely and emitting a suffocating heat wave.

"Boom!"

The flame expanded violently, transforming into a golden fire dragon that circled above Ji Chen's head, letting out a deafening roar.

The temperature in the plaza rose abruptly, as if everyone were inside a furnace.

Those Ability Users who had still been harboring thoughts of luck were instantly terrified, their faces turning pale and their legs going weak.

Under Ji Chen's control, the fire dragon slowly shrank, finally turning into a tiny flame that landed in his palm and vanished.

"Is that it?" Ji Chen smiled contemptuously, his gaze arrogant, as if he were looking down at ants.

The plaza was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was stunned by Ji Chen's immense strength, not daring to make a sound.

Ji Chen's confidence reached its peak; he felt as if he were standing at the pinnacle of the world, looking down upon all living things.

He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, his heart filled with grand ambition.

"Who else is unconvinced?" Ji Chen's voice was not loud, yet it echoed over the plaza like a thunderclap.

Silence, a deathly silence.

Suddenly, a voice broke this silence...

"I'll do it!"

A burly, muscular Advanced Ability User charged out like a wild bull.

With a ferocious expression and bloodshot eyes, he roared, "I'm here to challenge you! You arrogant brat!" He clenched his fists and slammed them into the ground; a yellowish energy wave spread out from him as the center, causing the ground to crack instantly and gravel to fly.

"Earth Ability? A mere trick!" Ji Chen curled his lip in disdain and flashed away, dodging the attack.

His speed was as fast as lightning; the crowd only saw a flash of golden light, and the next second, Ji Chen had already appeared behind the burly man.

"Bang!" A heavy punch slammed into the burly man's back, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string; he crashed heavily to the ground, spitting blood.

"Is that it? It's not even enough to scratch an itch for me!" Ji Chen clapped his hands, looking relaxed.

The burly man struggled to climb up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and roared as he launched another attack.

This time, he condensed all his supernatural power, causing the ground to bulge and form an earthen wall that pressed toward Ji Chen.

"Overestimating yourself!" Ji Chen sneered, waving his right hand, and a ball of golden flame surged out, instantly melting the earthen wall into a pile of magma.

He walked toward the burly man step by step, each step feeling as if it were landing on the opponent's heart, causing him to feel a suffocating pressure.

"Whatever other moves you have, use them all!" Ji Chen provoked.

The burly man had completely lost the will to fight; he slumped on the ground, his eyes hollow, muttering to himself, "Impossible... this is impossible..."

Ceng Yue stood to the side, the corners of her mouth slightly raised; she looked at Ji Chen as if looking at her own hero, her heart filled with warmth.

Ji Chen felt her gaze, and a warm current surged in his heart, making his conviction even firmer.

Ji Chen stepped on the burly man's chest, looking down at him from above, and said, "Remember, next time before you provoke someone, weigh your own strength first!"

He slowly raised his right hand, and the golden flame ignited once more, emitting a chilling pressure.

The Ability Users in the plaza held their breath, not daring to make a sound, fearing they might anger this newly ascended king.

Ji Chen stood in the center of the plaza, bathed in golden light, like a god descending to earth.

He radiated powerful ability fluctuations, shaking the souls of everyone present.

He had become the new legend of the urban ability world!

The plaza was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

A moment later, an aged voice broke the silence...

"Young man, your strength is great, but..."
