Chapter 138: Breaking the Wave Barrier

Ji Chen looked at the energy waves surging around the monster, his eyes full of doubt.

This thing, looks a bit familiar, doesn't it...

A protective shield with special effects added?

Is this monster planning to add a buff state to itself and then fly away on the spot?

But this energy fluctuation is not something to play with; it's more than a grade stronger than the pressure of the monster before.

He took a deep breath, the air filled with a burnt smell, also mixed with a hint of strange fishy and sweet smell, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

The surrounding air seemed to have frozen, making it hard for people to breathe.

Ceng Yue stood behind him, saying nothing, but Ji Chen could feel the tension radiating from her.

"This thing, a bit tricky." Ji Chen touched his chin, muttering to himself.

Need to think of a way to break this turtle shell, otherwise if this monster hides inside and heals, what's the point of fighting?

He tried to mobilize his Supernatural Ability, condensing it into an energy blade, hacking fiercely at the energy wave.

Only hearing a loud "bang," the energy blade was like a mud cow entering the sea, not even causing a ripple, dissipating without a trace.

"Damn, so hard?" Ji Chen was a bit dumbfounded.

This defense is comparable to a city wall corner!

He tried several other methods one after another, fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, even the space blade he had just learned, but the results were all the same, not even counting as scratching an itch.

His Supernatural Ability energy was severely consumed, and he began to feel a sense of powerlessness.

The surrounding light also seemed to have dimmed, as if foreshadowing his predicament.

My god, is this monster brewing an ultimate move?

"Little Yue, do you have any ideas?" Ji Chen turned to look at Ceng Yue, hoping this cold partner could give some constructive advice.

Ceng Yue shook her head, concisely: "No."

Fine, can't count on her.

Ji Chen sighed, rubbing his brow.

Give up just like this?

That's not his style!

He looked at that energy wave again. No, must think of a way!

Just when Ji Chen was almost in despair, that newly obtained power within him suddenly surged...

Just when Ji Chen was about to despair, he felt a strange power within him begin to stir, like a newly awakened husky, howling and wanting to come out for a stroll.

This power was different from his previous Supernatural Ability; it carried a peculiar rhythm, as if it could resonate with the energy wave before him, just like finding a brother who had been separated for many years.

Ji Chen's eyes instantly lit up, his originally dim vision suddenly pierced by a beam of hope, making his entire person spirit up.

"Damn, is this the legendary 'Heaven Rewards Diligence'?" He shouted inwardly, this feeling was like discovering that all the key points he memorized were on the final exam, simply too cool to fly.

He tried cautiously, guiding this resonance power out, as if playing an invisible piece of music.

He could clearly feel a subtle connection between his Supernatural Ability and the energy wave.

The energy wave was no longer an indestructible barrier, but like a plucked string, beginning to tremble slightly.

Ji Chen's lips couldn't help but curl upward. This feeling was like playing a game with extremely high difficulty and finally finding the walkthrough.

"Hey, buddy, let's see where you can hide now!" He secretly rejoiced in his heart, then injected more Supernatural Ability energy into that resonance, as if feeding a hungry black hole.

With the continuous injection of energy, the energy wave began to show fine cracks, like patterns on parched land, densely covering the entire energy shield.

Those cracks were initially just insignificant fine lines, but with the increase in Ji Chen's Supernatural Ability output, they gradually expanded into hideous scars.

The monster inside the energy wave also seemed to feel the threat from the outside, beginning to emit bursts of terrified roars, the sound sounding like someone scratching a blackboard with their fingernails, making people's scalps numb.

The surrounding air also became more repressive, like the calm before a storm, making people unable to help but hold their breath.

"Little guy, still want to be arrogant?" Ji Chen licked his lips, he was like a passionate conductor, leading an exciting symphony.

"Crack—"

A crisp sound suddenly came from the air, like the sound of glass breaking, sounding exceptionally harsh in the quiet environment.

Ji Chen could feel his heartbeat thumping like a drum, adrenaline soaring, hot blood rushing to his head.

He took a deep breath again, condensing all his Supernatural Ability onto his right hand, preparing for the final fatal blow.

He stared fixedly ahead, his eyes firm and sharp, like a sword out of its sheath. Everything around him seemed to have vanished, leaving only that teetering energy wave, and the monster trembling inside.

He could feel that the power within him had reached its peak, like a volcano about to erupt, filled with destructive power.

"Next, it's time to send you on your way." He said to himself, his lips curling into a cold arc.

"Buzz—"

The next second, the energy condensed in his right hand poured out like a broken dam...

A dazzling beam of light, like lightning tearing through the night sky, shot from Ji Chen's hand, slamming fiercely into the teetering energy wave.

"Boom!" With a deafening loud noise, the energy wave finally couldn't withstand this powerful force, instantly shattering, transforming into countless specks of light and dissipating in the air.

The dust settled, revealing the monster trembling inside the energy wave.

It looked at Ji Chen in terror. Ji Chen didn't hesitate in the slightest, his figure flickering, appearing before the monster like a ghost, the energy in his hand condensing again, transforming into a sharp long blade, stabbing fiercely into the monster's heart.

"Puff—"

With a muffled sound, the monster emitted a shrill scream, its massive body crashing to the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky.

Ji Chen stood on the monster's remains, his entire body radiating dazzling light, like a god descended to earth, the surrounding space illuminated by his light.

"Brother Chen, awesome!" The crowd watching from afar erupted in deafening cheers, waving their arms excitedly, cheering and jumping for Ji Chen's victory.

Ceng Yue also couldn't care about her usual coldness, flying toward Ji Chen, excited tears shimmering in her eyes.

"As long as you're fine..." She threw herself into Ji Chen's arms, hugging him tightly, as if pouring all her longing and worry into this embrace.

Ji Chen hugged Ceng Yue tightly, feeling her body temperature, a warm current surging in his heart.

He gently stroked her hair, whispering softly: "I'm fine, let you worry."

The surroundings were filled with a thick atmosphere of warmth and joy, as if the entire world were filled with hope and light.

At this moment, Ji Chen felt his Supernatural Ability reach an unprecedented height; he could even feel the energy wandering in the surrounding space, gathering into his body like a trickling stream.

He closed his eyes, feeling this powerful force, his heart filled with shock and excitement.

He opened his eyes slowly, dazzling light shimmering within them.

He reached out his hand, gripping lightly, the surrounding space seeming to be under his control.

He felt he was like an omnipotent god, able to control everything.

"This feeling..." he muttered to himself, his lips curling into a mysterious smile, "is simply too awesome..."

Suddenly, he felt a strange energy fluctuation coming from afar. He turned his head abruptly, looking in the direction of the energy fluctuation.

"What is that?" ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
