Chapter 202: Ability Peak

The faint light in Ji Chen's palm grew brighter, beating like a heart, and strange energy fluctuations spread like ripples, a sense of oppression that was hard to describe filling the air.

"What's going on? This feeling..." Ji Chen frowned, attempting to suppress this uncontrollable energy, but it was like holding a handful of sand; the harder he gripped, the faster it slipped away.

Fine sweat seeped from his forehead, his face becoming unusually solemn; the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere was ready to explode.

Ceng Yue stood on the side, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

"Ji Chen, are you okay?" She attempted to approach him, but was bounced away by an invisible force.

This energy fluctuation also made her feel heart-palpitations, but she was more worried about Ji Chen's safety.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, enduring the surging energy within him.

This force was becoming increasingly powerful, and his body began to flicker with dazzling light, as if it would explode at any moment.

"I... can't control it..." he spat out a few words with difficulty, his voice trembling, his heart full of struggle.

He didn't want to lose control, and even less did he want to hurt the people around him, especially Ceng Yue.

This sense of oppression was like a giant stone pressing on his chest, making him almost unable to breathe.

The light grew increasingly intense, illuminating the entire night sky.

Ji Chen's body trembled even more violently; he felt like an energy ball about to explode, ready to turn to ashes at any moment.

Ceng Yue shouted anxiously: "Ji Chen! You must hold on!" She wanted to approach him again, but was bounced away by an even more powerful force, falling to the ground.

Ji Chen looked at Ceng Yue, who had fallen to the ground; he tried his best to control this energy, but everything was in vain.

Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly thought of something...

"Ceng Yue..." he said with his last bit of strength, "Your ability..."

Ji Chen's voice, though weak, was like a thunderclap, exploding in Ceng Yue's mind.

She instantly understood Ji Chen's meaning, and without any hesitation, she stood up, her eyes firm as rock.

"I'll help you!" Ceng Yue didn't talk nonsense, directly pressing her palm against Ji Chen's back.

Her ice-type ability, like streaks of cold streams, poured into Ji Chen's body continuously.

That violent energy, under the suppression of the ice-type ability, began to gradually calm down.

Ji Chen felt the energy within his body, like a wild horse that had broken its reins, finally having a bridle.

He guided Ceng Yue's ability, like a brilliant animal tamer, gradually converting that violent energy for his own use.

The light flickering within his body gradually dissipated, replaced by a more restrained, more powerful aura.

The oppression filling the air also disappeared, and the surrounding air returned to flow.

Ji Chen slowly opened his eyes, the depths of his pupils seeming to contain a sea of stars.

He felt as if he had undergone a baptism of rebirth, and the ability within his body had become purer and more powerful.

He lowered his head and looked at Ceng Yue, who was standing before him.

Her face carried a hint of fatigue, but she was still that cold-as-ice appearance, only in the depths of her eyes, a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect flickered.

"Thanks, Yue." Ji Chen's voice carried a hint of hoarseness but was full of sincere gratitude.

Ceng Yue didn't speak, only silently walking toward Ji Chen. Her Ji Chen reached out and gently stroked Ceng Yue's face; the touch was cold, but it sent a warm current into his heart.

Looking at each other, time seemed to stop flowing at this moment, and a warm atmosphere filled the air.

"As long as you're okay." Ceng Yue's voice was very light, but it carried a hint of concern that was hard to detect, making Ji Chen's heart tremble slightly.

"Hmm." The corners of Ji Chen's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

At this moment, the bond between them became even more unbreakable.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within him; he slowly moved his hand away from Ceng Yue's face, a flash of determination in his eyes; he looked at his palm, where energy was slowly gathering, and a more powerful force was gestating...

The light in Ji Chen's palm grew increasingly intense, like a small sun, illuminating the entire night sky.

That energy was like a tamed beast, no longer violent, instead obediently circling his body.

He could clearly feel that every inch of flesh and blood within him was cheering, thirsting for more powerful strength.

He was like a game character that had turned on an accelerator, his experience points soaring crazily, his level climbing higher and higher.

The surrounding ability energy, like a pilgrimage, crazily surged toward Ji Chen, forming streaks of visible energy vortexes.

He was at the center of the vortex, like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing everything.

"This feeling... is too awesome!" Ji Chen couldn't help but let out a low roar; he could feel his ability undergoing a qualitative leap, as if breaking out of a cocoon to become a butterfly, welcoming a new life.

He felt he was no longer the self of yesterday; the current him was simply an existence like a god.

Ji Chen slowly raised his head, excitement and pride flashing in his eyes, like two brilliant stars.

He slowly stretched out his right hand, his palm condensing a dazzling ball of light; the ball of light grew larger and brighter, finally turning into a pillar of light that shot straight into the clouds.

The entire Urban Ability World was illuminated by this light, and everyone looked up, shocked.

At this moment, he became the well-deserved focus of this world, and all Ability Users felt the powerful pressure radiating from him.

He was no longer the unknown little person from back then; he had already become a legend of the Urban Ability World.

He and Ceng Yue stood side by side, bathing in this glorious light.

Ji Chen could feel the faint tenderness on Ceng Yue; that was the true emotion she only revealed in front of him.

He knew that all of this was inseparable from Ceng Yue's support.

However, just as he was immersed in the joy of victory, his brows furrowed slightly.

An extremely faint, yet heart-stopping aura was approaching rapidly from afar.

That aura, like a beast lurking in the darkness, carried a hint of indescribable danger.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes; he felt the power within him boiling; that was fighting spirit, a longing for the unknown.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, as if saying: New challenge, is it coming?

Ji Chen felt the aura in the distance getting closer and closer; he stretched out his right hand and pointed toward the distance. ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
