Chapter 191: Sudden Change

The light dissipated, and Ji Chen's figure was clearly visible.

He stood proudly, bathed in the cheers of the crowd, as if a god had descended.

That strike just now had almost exhausted all his Supernatural Ability, but he felt unprecedentedly comfortable, as if he had opened up his meridians, his whole body relaxed.

However, this refreshing feeling was soon replaced by something strange.

The Supernatural Ability within his body was no longer as docile as usual, but restless, like a wild horse that had broken its reins, charging around.

"What's going on? Could it be a sequela?" Ji Chen was confused in his heart; this feeling made him very uncomfortable, like eating spicy hot pot without paper, feeling stifled.

He found a quiet corner, sat cross-legged, and attempted to control the Supernatural Ability running around within his body.

The surroundings were silent, only the rustling sound of wind blowing through leaves, setting off the unease in his heart even more.

This feeling was like the day before the final exam, discovering that the book hadn't been opened yet, making one go crazy.

"What are you doing?" A cold voice broke the silence.

Ji Chen raised his head and saw Ceng Yue standing in front of him at some point.

She was still her eternal iceberg face, but there was a trace of imperceptible worry in her eyes.

"Nothing, I'm just adjusting my breath." Ji Chen squeezed out a smile, attempting to cover up the unease in his heart.

He didn't want Ceng Yue to worry; after all, she was now the most important person to him in this world.

"Your Supernatural Ability... is not very stable." Ceng Yue's willow brows arched slightly, her tone carrying a trace of worry.

Although she didn't talk much usually, her concern for Ji Chen was undisguised.

"I don't know what's going on either, it feels like it ate gum, it just can't stop." Ji Chen smiled bitterly, he attempted to guide the flow of the Supernatural Ability, but found it completely useless.

Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from within his body, shaking him away.

He fell heavily to the ground, feeling his internal organs shift.

"What's going on?!" Ceng Yue saw this and immediately rushed to Ji Chen's side, wanting to support him.

"Don't come over!" Ji Chen roared, he felt this power was full of hostility, he didn't want Ceng Yue to get hurt.

He gritted his teeth and attempted to control this power again.

Beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and his complexion also turned pale.

"Let me help you!" Ceng Yue said anxiously.

"No need! I can handle it!" Ji Chen refused Ceng Yue's help. He closed his eyes tightly, mobilizing his entire Supernatural Ability to confront this mysterious power.

"Ji Chen..." Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen struggling in pain.

Suddenly, Ji Chen felt that the restless Supernatural Ability within his body actually produced a strange attraction to this mysterious power, just like...

Just like the two poles of a magnet, attracting each other, or like a mouse seeing a cat, instinctively submitting.

Ji Chen felt the Supernatural Ability running around within his body was no longer a wild horse that had broken its reins, but instead had found an organization, beginning to operate regularly.

He could clearly feel that the mysterious power was being swallowed by a more powerful force within his body, converted into his own energy.

This feeling, simply couldn't be better!

Like playing a game and cheating, the experience bar kept rising.

Ji Chen's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, his mouth hooked slightly, outlining a confident arc, and the oppressive atmosphere around him also dissipated.

He felt every cell in his body filled with power, like a nitrogen-filled supercar, ready to soar into the sky at any moment.

Ceng Yue watched Ji Chen gradually return to calm, her tightly knitted brows also relaxing, replaced by full joy.

Her mouth hooked slightly, revealing a faint smile, like icebergs melting, beautiful beyond compare.

She walked to Ji Chen's side with light steps, a hint of flirtatiousness in her eyes, and gently took his arm. A faint, lingering fragrance drifted to the tip of Ji Chen's nose; she was as gentle as water and charmingly moving.

Ji Chen felt Ceng Yue's love, and his heart was instantly filled with warmth.

He turned his head, looking at Ceng Yue with deep affection, and reached out to gently stroke her cheek, which was as smooth as silk.

He could feel the delicacy of Ceng Yue's skin, like fine mutton-fat jade, warm and smooth.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and the air was filled with a sweet atmosphere, like ice cream on a summer afternoon, intoxicating to the heart.

Ji Chen had just wanted to say something, but he discovered that the surrounding air had suddenly solidified, and a powerful sense of oppression came rushing toward him.

He felt as if he had been thrown into a pressure cooker, instantly unable to catch his breath.

"Careful..." Before Ceng Yue could finish her sentence, the two were shaken apart by a powerful force.

However, that mysterious force acted as if it had been injected with adrenaline; it suddenly erupted, instantly forming a transparent energy shield around the two, like a giant glass cover, trapping them firmly inside.

Ji Chen frowned, feeling that this thing was like an upgraded version of the "Golden Bell Shield," extremely hard.

"Damn, it even has a damage reflection effect?" Ji Chen couldn't help but grumble, but his hands didn't stop. He launched another attack, his internal supernatural ability surging out like a burst levee, slamming fiercely against the energy shield.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each impact emitted a deafening roar, as if someone were beating drums right by his ears, and sparks flew everywhere like brilliant fireworks, illuminating the surrounding space.

The energy shield remained motionless, but it began to tremble slightly, like a punching bag being struck; although it was fine for the moment, it would break sooner or later.

Beside him, Ceng Yue was so nervous that her little hands were clenched into fists, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She stared fixedly at the battlefield, afraid of missing a single detail; she might as well have had the word "worried" written on her face.

Ji Chen was not intimidated by the difficulty before him. He continuously adjusted the way he output his supernatural ability, sometimes fierce as a rainstorm, sometimes penetrating like a drizzle, trying to find the shield's weak point.

Finally, after a round of "violent demolition" style attacks, there was a "crack" sound, and the energy shield finally could not bear the burden, shattering into pieces like broken glass.

"Awesome!" Ji Chen clenched his fists in excitement and let out a long breath, feeling his whole body much lighter, as if he had just finished a marathon and drank a bottle of ice-cold cola—it felt amazing!

The surrounding space seemed to brighten because of his victory, and sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled spots of light on him, making him look even more handsome, dashing, and charismatic.

"You're amazing!" Ceng Yue also jumped up in excitement, hugged Ji Chen, and cheered, like a child who had received a beloved toy. The smile on her face was as brilliant as the spring sunshine, making the surrounding flowers and plants pale in comparison.

However, just as Ji Chen thought the crisis was resolved and was preparing to share a victory hug with Ceng Yue, a sudden change occurred!

He felt the supernatural ability in his body acting like it was drunk, suddenly beginning to run wild uncontrollably. A powerful force rampaged through his body like a wild horse that had broken its reins, as if it wanted to tear him apart.

His body also began to flicker with strange light, sometimes dazzling and sometimes dim, like a broken lightbulb, flickering on and off.

"I..." Ji Chen had just wanted to say something when he felt a strong sense of dizziness wash over him.

He opened his mouth, but could say nothing, and could only use his hand to tightly grab Ceng Yue's arm, as if a drowning person had grabbed a straw.

His eyes were filled with pain and struggle; he could feel his body undergoing some kind of unpredictable change...
