Chapter 237: Breaking the Barrier

Ji Chen stood before the huge barrier, his eyes like torches, carefully studying the runes flickering on it.

These runes twisted like tadpoles, their complexity comparable to the final problem of the college entrance examination math, making one's scalp tingle.

He frowned tightly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, his whole person like a sculpture, emitting an aura that kept strangers away.

This damn barrier, what on earth is it?

"A bit tricky..." Ji Chen muttered in a low voice, reaching out his finger to touch the surface of the barrier gently.

A tingling sensation came from his fingertips, like being shocked by static electricity, or like a warm current pouring into his body.

This feeling, a bit intoxicating!

He withdrew his finger and rubbed it a few times, secretly thinking: This barrier, a bit interesting.

He tried to mobilize the Supernatural Ability energy in his body, gathered the energy in his palm, and pushed slowly toward the barrier.

However, the barrier remained motionless, like a towering mountain peak, letting the wind blow and rain beat, remaining unmoved.

"Damn, so hard?" Ji Chen couldn't help but curse; the defensive power of this barrier was too perverted!

He tried various methods one after another, fire burning, water flooding, lightning striking, even his ancestral "touching technique" was used, but the result was still—useless!

The surrounding environment was silent, only the sound of wind blowing through leaves, as if mourning for Ji Chen's predicament.

Ceng Yue stood aside, silently watching Ji Chen.

Failure after failure made the sense of frustration in Ji Chen's heart begin to breed.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the irritability in his heart, warning himself: Steady, we can win!

Just then, he suddenly noticed a subtle change on the barrier—the flickering frequency of one of the runes seemed to be faster than other runes.

This discovery ignited a glimmer of hope in Ji Chen's heart.

He reached out his finger again and touched the flickering rune gently.

"Perhaps..." Ji Chen looked at Ceng Yue, firm light flashing in his eyes. "I found a breakthrough."

Ji Chen took a deep breath, his eyes instantly becoming sharp as a blade.

He no longer held back, the Supernatural Ability energy in his body erupted like a volcanic eruption, gathering between his palms.

Dazzling light instantly swallowed his body, like a small sun, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

The surrounding air began to distort, emitting *buzzing* tremors, as if space couldn't bear this powerful force.

The ground under his feet began to crack, tiny stones floated in the air, rotating around him, forming a miniature energy storm.

At this moment, Ji Chen was like a god descending, his aura fully open, making people dare not look directly.

He raised his hands slowly, the energy in his palms becoming more and more solid, faint thunder sounds roaring within, as if about to tear this space apart in the next second.

This posture was definitely about to use a big move!

In the second before launching the attack, Ji Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over Ceng Yue.

She stood not far away, her cold face full of worry, a pair of beautiful eyes staring fixedly at him, shining like stars.

At that moment, Ji Chen captured the tenderness and love that flashed in her eyes.

"Careful."

Ceng Yue's voice was very light, very soft, carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling, yet like a spring breeze brushing over Ji Chen's heart, dispelling a trace of tension and unease in his heart.

This simple reminder contained infinite concern and love.

Ji Chen's heart warmed, like a ray of sunshine in winter, dispelling all the cold.

He felt Ceng Yue's love, and a strong desire to protect surged from the bottom of his heart.

He wanted to become stronger, not just for himself, but to protect this hard-won relationship.

He wanted to let Ceng Yue stand behind him forever without worry, without worrying about any danger.

Ji Chen's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, like a spring breeze brushing over willow branches, or like warm sunshine in winter.

He cast a reassuring look at Ceng Yue, as if saying: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Then, he turned around without hesitation, facing the towering barrier, his legs exerted force, and his whole person turned into a stream of light, rushing straight toward the barrier.

Ji Chen cast a gentle look at Ceng Yue, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, as if saying: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Just as Ji Chen's body came into contact with the barrier, a huge energy fluctuation instantly erupted.

The runes on the barrier seemed to be activated, beginning to flicker crazily, emitting ear-piercing "roaring" sounds.

Ji Chen's brows furrowed tightly, feeling a strong counter-shock force, as if countless needles had stabbed into his palms.

However, he didn't retreat, instead becoming more firm in his belief.

"This broken barrier, must be taken down by me today!" Ji Chen roared in his heart. The moment his body touched the barrier, the Supernatural Ability energy in his body poured out like a flood, colliding with the barrier's energy, producing a series of explosions.

Light shot everywhere, the air distorted and deformed because of this powerful energy, the surrounding ground began to crack, tiny stones flew in the air, like a small earthquake.

Ceng Yue on the side gripped her hands tightly, her cold face full of worry.

Her heart was tightly connected with Ji Chen, as if she could feel every bit of pressure he was enduring.

Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Ji Chen, shining with concern and love, and an ambiguous atmosphere permeated around.

Her breathing also became rapid, as if every step of Ji Chen's attack was pulling her nerves.

Ji Chen constantly adjusted the energy output, looking for the weak point of the barrier.

Finally, under continuous collisions, he discovered that the flickering frequency of a rune was abnormal.

"Break!" Ji Chen shouted, the Supernatural Ability energy in his body like a broken dam, pouring out.

The runes on the barrier shattered like glass, light shot everywhere, and the entire barrier collapsed completely at this moment.

Ji Chen stood in the light, like a hero, his heart full of pride.

However, the moment the barrier shattered, a mysterious building appeared before their eyes.

This building emitted a powerful aura, as if hiding endless secrets.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other, eyes full of vigilance.

They approached the mysterious building cautiously, every step like walking on thin ice.

Just then, Ceng Yue said softly:

"Ji Chen, be careful..." ===== CHAPTER 238 =====
