Chapter 209: Supernatural Ability Turbulence

The warm sunlight spilled onto his body, and the fresh air rushed toward his face; this feeling was simply more comfortable than waking up naturally on a weekend!

"We won!" Ceng Yue hugged Ji Chen excitedly, a brilliant smile appearing on her face.

However, before they could enjoy the joy of victory, a cold, gloomy voice suddenly rang out: "Did you think it was over just like that?"

A figure slowly walked out from the shadows; it was precisely the Ability User they had defeated.

His face was pale, and he used a Rune and a different dimension, attempting to trap Ji Chen and Ceng Yue to death within it.

"In your dreams!" Ji Chen let out a cold snort and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Ceng Yue, the two of them simultaneously releasing their strongest Supernatural Ability, like two dazzling pillars of light shooting straight into the sky.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the heavens and earth changed color.

The light dissipated, and that Ability User vanished completely, leaving behind only ashes all over the ground.

The light shone upon the entire urban Supernatural Ability world, and Ji Chen became a true hero.

He and Ceng Yue stood amidst the light, enjoying the joy of victory and the reverence of the crowd.

Just at this moment, Ji Chen suddenly felt that the Supernatural Ability energy of the world seemed to have undergone a new change...

He turned his head abruptly to look at Ceng Yue, his eyes full of gravity.

The surrounding Ability Users were still cheering, but Ji Chen keenly felt that this new change in Supernatural Ability energy might bring a huge crisis, and a tense atmosphere spread in his heart.

"Ceng Yue, I feel that there is a new change in the Supernatural Ability energy," Ji Chen said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of gravity.

Ceng Yue sensed the change in Ji Chen's mood and also put away her smile, confusion surging into her heart.

"Is that so? What do you think it could be?" Ceng Yue frowned slightly, her gaze revealing a trace of worry.

Ji Chen closed his eyes and began to try to use his own Supernatural Ability to perceive this new change, only to find it like falling into a quagmire, the information chaotic and difficult to capture.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and the anxiety and restlessness in his heart made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

The surrounding air seemed to have become heavy, and even breathing became difficult.

Ceng Yue wanted to help from the side, but had no way to start; she could only worry in vain, her heart filled with extreme anxiety.

"This energy... is too chaotic, it's completely impossible to capture the specific source." Ji Chen's brows were tightly locked, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness.

Just at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind; it was a mysterious treasure obtained in an Ancient Ruin...

"Ceng Yue, we have to go to..." Ji Chen suddenly spoke, then Ji Chen abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance passing through the depths of his eyes as he remembered that treasure he had scavenged in the Ancient Ruin—the "Heavenly Mystery Disk."

This thing was said to be able to enhance Supernatural Ability perception; it hadn't been of much use before, but now it seemed it was time to let it shine!

He took out the palm-sized, pitch-black disk from his Space Ring; the surface of the disk was engraved with dense Runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Ji Chen took a deep breath and injected his Supernatural Ability into it.

With a soft "hum," the Heavenly Mystery Disk emitted a gentle light, like a lamp in the darkness, illuminating Ji Chen's confused heart.

He felt a cool energy surge into his body, and his Supernatural Ability perception, which had been like a tangled mess, instantly became clear.

Just like turning on "Eagle Eye," he could feel the flow of energy around him; not a single bit could escape his perception.

"It worked!" Ji Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart, and the haze pressing down on his heart dissipated instantly; the feeling was like unloading a great mountain, and his whole person felt much more relaxed.

Seeing hope reignite on Ji Chen's face and his tightly furrowed brows relax, Ceng Yue also felt happy, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly to reveal a shallow smile, like a flower bud waiting to bloom, beautiful and moving.

She leaned gently against Ji Chen, her soft, delicate body pressed against his back, carrying a faint, lingering fragrance, her eyes as clear as water filled with love and reliance.

She turned slightly, her graceful curves fully visible, like a docile little cat snuggling in its master's embrace; that charm was simply deadly!

Ji Chen felt the softness behind him, his heart fluttering, and a warm current surged into his heart.

He turned around and gently held Ceng Yue's hand. "Don't worry, with me here, everything will be fine." His voice was low and magnetic, carrying a power that put people at ease.

Ceng Yue returned a sweet smile and nodded heavily.

She believed in Ji Chen, just as she believed that the sun would rise as usual tomorrow.

She knew that as long as he was there, there was no difficulty they could not overcome.

Ji Chen looked at Ceng Yue, and a sense of mission welled up in his heart.

He had to protect her, protect this city, and protect this world!

"Let's go!" He pulled Ceng Yue's hand, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

Just at this moment, he felt a slight tremor coming from the ground...

The ground trembled lightly, and immediately after, rustling sounds came from all directions, like countless mice gnawing at the earth.

The grass swayed and the soil flew as a group of mutated beetles, larger than fists and with hard shells shimmering with a metallic luster, brandished their sharp mouthparts and surged toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue like a tide.

"Damn! What the hell is this!" Ji Chen complained and immediately entered combat state.

These beetles were shockingly fast, as if they had rocket boosters installed, reaching them in the blink of an eye.

Ji Chen swung his fist, gathering his Supernatural Ability, and threw a punch, but it hit nothing.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Several beetles passed under his armpits, their sharp claws leaving several bloodstains on his arm.

"Hiss—" Ji Chen gasped; these little things were quite spicy!

Ceng Yue was not to be outdone; her figure was agile, like an elegant leopard, weaving through the swarm of insects.

The Ice Blade in her hand flashed with cold light, and every time she swung it, she could take the lives of several beetles.

The surrounding Ability Users saw this sudden change and were so scared their faces turned pale, retreating one after another for fear of being caught in the crossfire of these mutated beetles.

"What... what is going on here!"

"Run, these bugs bite!"

Exclamations came from the crowd, and the scene was chaotic for a time.

While dodging the beetles' attacks, Ji Chen observed their movement patterns.

He discovered that although these beetles' attacks were fierce, they had a certain regularity.

They always launched attacks in groups of three or five, and the intervals between attacks were extremely short.

"Got it!" Ji Chen's heart stirred, and a bold idea surged into his mind.

He took a deep breath and gathered his Supernatural Ability between his palms, and a huge Energy Ball slowly formed.

"Watch this, ultimate move!" Ji Chen shouted loudly, slamming the Energy Ball fiercely toward the ground.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Energy Ball exploded, and the intense shockwave instantly turned the surrounding beetles into ashes.

The light produced by the explosion illuminated the entire area, and Ji Chen's figure appeared like a god descending from heaven, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Wow! Brother Chen is mighty!"

"Too amazing!"

The surrounding Ability Users burst into rounds of cheers, and the tense atmosphere dissipated along with it.

Just as everyone thought the crisis had been resolved, a massive Supernatural Ability Energy Vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, like the giant maw of an Abyss, radiating a suffocating pressure.

A powerful suction force pulled Ji Chen and Ceng Yue toward the center of the vortex.

"Holy crap! What's going on!" Ji Chen exclaimed, wanting to break free from this suction force, only to find it was completely futile.

Ceng Yue gripped Ji Chen's hand tightly, her face pale, "Ji Chen..."

The two flew higher and higher, the scenery on the ground becoming smaller and smaller, until finally disappearing from view...
