Chapter 233: Peak of Supernatural Ability, New Journey Begins

"Next, we have to enjoy this moment of peace." Ji Chen took a deep breath, feeling the comfort of surviving a disaster.

Ceng Yue nodded gently, leaning her head on his shoulder. The two embraced quietly, letting the sunlight fall on them.

Before they could enjoy this moment of intimacy, a helicopter broke the peace, circling above their heads.

A man in a suit and leather shoes came down from the plane and bowed respectfully to them: "Mr. Ji, Ms. Zeng, the headquarters invites the two of you to attend the Glory Commendation Conference, please follow me."

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other and happily accepted the invitation.

The city center was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, flags fluttering, lively and extraordinary, as if it were the New Year.

Huge banners read "Celebrate the Heroes' Triumphant Return," and the streets were crowded with cheering crowds, waving flowers in their hands, shouting the names of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

This lineup was simply YYDS (the GOAT)!

The Glory Commendation Conference was held in the city's largest plaza, the scene was crowded with people, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue walked onto the podium surrounded by the crowd, flashlights flashing non-stop, recording this glorious moment.

The organization leader delivered an enthusiastic speech, highly praising Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's heroic deeds, and personally awarded them the highest honor medal.

The heavy medal hung on his chest, and a heroic feeling surged in Ji Chen's heart.

He looked around, countless admiring gazes focused on him; he knew that he had already stood at the peak of the Supernatural Ability world!

Suddenly, the leader's voice lowered, and his tone became serious: "Although we won this battle, greater challenges are still ahead..." He looked at Ji Chen meaningfully. "I hope the two of you can continue to contribute power to the peace and stability of the city."

Ji Chen felt a chill in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of crisis surged.

He clenched his fists, his eyes looking firmly ahead.

Ceng Yue stood under the stage, looking at the shining Ji Chen on the stage, little stars flashing in her eyes, simply a large-scale fan-girl scene.

That admiring little look, wishing she could carve the words "my man is really powerful" on her forehead.

Ji Chen felt Ceng Yue's burning gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he gave her a gentle wink. Pink bubbles filled the air, sweet and greasy.

After the Glory Commendation Conference ended, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were surrounded and left the venue.

Just then, a mysterious old man wearing a gray robe and leaning on a cane appeared in front of Ji Chen like a ghost.

The old man had a crane-like hair and a child-like face, his eyes deep, as if he could see through everything.

He bowed slightly and said in a voice only Ji Chen could hear: "Young man, congratulations on obtaining this honor. But the real challenge has just begun, the night of 'Eclipse Moon' is coming..." After speaking, the old man disappeared into the crowd, as if he had never appeared.

"Eclipse Moon"?!

This strange term made Ji Chen's heart tighten, and a chill went straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He subconsciously gripped Ceng Yue's hand tightly, fine sweat beads seeping from his palm.

Ceng Yue noticed Ji Chen's abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Not feeling well?"

Ji Chen forced a smile. "It's fine, maybe I was too tired just now." He turned to look in the direction where the old man disappeared, but only saw the bustling crowd; where was the old man's figure?

Could it be his hallucination?

"Let's go." Ji Chen held Ceng Yue's hand and left the plaza quickly.

Back at their residence, Ji Chen was still restless.

What exactly was "Eclipse Moon"?

What did the old man's words mean?

He tried hard to recall every word the old man said, trying to find some clues from it.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Ji Chen's mind.

He remembered an ancient document he had seen in the library of the Ability User organization before, which recorded an ancient prophecy: When the "Eclipse Moon" appears, the sleeping dark power will awaken, and the world will fall into chaos...

Could the "Eclipse Moon" night the old man spoke of be the day the disaster in the prophecy descends?

Thinking of this, Ji Chen felt an inexplicable fear.

"Ji Chen, what are you thinking about?" Ceng Yue's voice interrupted Ji Chen's thoughts.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down.

"Nothing, just thinking about what to do next."

"Next..." Ceng Yue paused, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. "Can we really handle the challenges ahead?"

Ji Chen held Ceng Yue's hand tightly and said firmly: "No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Just then, the Supernatural Ability energy in Ji Chen's body suddenly began to fluctuate violently...

A powerful force surged from his body, as if wanting to break through his body.

"This... what is going on?" Ji Chen looked at this power in astonishment, his heart full of doubt and unease.

"Ji Chen!" Ceng Yue exclaimed; she felt that the Supernatural Ability fluctuation on Ji Chen's body was becoming increasingly intense, as if it could go out of control at any time...

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, trying hard to control the violent power in his body.

Suddenly, he felt as if his body had been torn apart by something, and the intense pain made him let out a muffled grunt.

"Ah..."

"Ji Chen!" Ji Chen felt as if a violent beast had moved into his body, and bursts of tearing pain came from his limbs and bones, as if his internal organs were about to be crushed!

He gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, sweat falling like rain.

The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this violent power, emitting buzzing sounds.

Suddenly, Ji Chen felt a powerful suction surge from his body, and the surrounding Supernatural Ability energy surged into his body like a tide.

The originally violent power, under the impact of these external energies, actually became docile, like a tamed wild horse, obediently merging into his body.

Ji Chen opened his eyes abruptly. He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful energy gathered in his palm, emitting dazzling light, like a small sun!

He swung his hand forward fiercely, and the surging energy poured out like a broken dam, and the surrounding air emitted ear-piercing explosions!

The mysterious old man who had been standing not far away saw this scene, and a trace of surprise finally appeared on his originally ancient-well-no-waves face.

He nodded slightly, and the deep people around him were even more stunned, their jaws almost falling to the ground!

"Damn! What kind of operation is this? Could this be the legendary 'one-click cheat'?"

Ji Chen took a deep breath and withdrew the power in his palm. He could clearly feel the surging power in his body; this feeling was simply too great!

He looked like a torch, looking directly at the old man in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Old gentleman, you said the night of 'Eclipse Moon' is coming, you must know something, right? Might as well speak directly, so I can be prepared."

The old man heard this, was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Ji Chen to be so direct, then slowly shook his head, his turbid eyes seeming to become deeper: "Young man, your talent is extraordinary, but some things are better left unknown."

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows. He didn't buy the old man's act, took a step forward actively, narrowed the distance between them, and his tone carried a trace of provocation: "Old gentleman, I don't like your words. Instead of playing mystery, it's better to speak out straightforwardly, which can also make you appear more unfathomable, right?"

The old man looked at Ji Chen again, his gaze carrying a trace of surprise, seemingly re-examining him.

He was silent for a moment and sighed. "Sigh, young people these days are really too impatient."

He slowly raised his right hand and drew gently in the air, and a strange symbol appeared in the air, flickering with faint fluorescence.

"This symbol might give you some hints." After speaking, the old man's figure disappeared in front of everyone like bubbles, leaving only that symbol emitting ghostly light, slowly rotating in the air.

Ji Chen's eyes condensed, staring at that strange symbol, his heart full of doubt and unease.

What on earth was this?

"Let's go home!" Ji Chen's eyes carried a trace of gravity, held Ceng Yue's hand, and left this unsettling place. ===== CHAPTER 234 =====
