Chapter 67: The Beginning of Peace
The deafening cheers came like a tide, surrounding Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.
They were lifted high by the crowd, as if they were in the clouds.
The joy of victory permeated the air, so thick it could almost not be melted.
However, there was not a hint of relaxation on Ji Chen's face; instead, his brows were tightly locked, and he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
Ceng Yue also sensed something unusual, and a hint of worry flashed in her ice-blue eyes.
In the following days, the Supernatural World was immersed in the carnival of victory.
Celebration banquets were held one after another, lively and extraordinary.
However, beneath this jubilation, an undercurrent was quietly surging.
Ji Chen and Ceng Yue discovered that some Ability Users had begun to lose their Supernatural Abilities for no reason.
At first, it was just an isolated case, but as time passed, more and more Ability Users lost their Abilities, spreading like a plague.
The noise of the celebration sounded like noise in the ears of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue. Their faces were full of worry, completely out of tune with the festive atmosphere around them.
"What's going on? Why are so many people losing their Supernatural Abilities?" An Advanced Ability User asked in a panic.
"I don't know, I feel my power is draining away, as if my body has been hollowed out." Another Ability User's face was pale, his eyes hollow.
The emotion of fear began to spread in the Supernatural World, and the original festive atmosphere was shrouded in haze.
Ji Chen and Ceng Yue realized that the seriousness of the situation far exceeded their imagination.
After some investigation, they discovered that the source of this mutation was actually the aftermath of the previous great battle.
That earth-shattering battle, although it eliminated the Mysterious Person, also disrupted the energy balance of the Supernatural World, causing some Ability Users to be unable to stably control their power anymore.
"We must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Ji Chen said with a heavy tone.
"However, we know too little about this aspect and have no way to start." Ceng Yue's brows were tightly locked, her tone carrying a hint of powerlessness.
The difficulties in solving this problem were numerous.
Not only was there a lack of sufficient research data, but some conservative factions were also obstructing their investigation.
The pressure was like a mountain on the shoulders of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue, but they did not give up.
"No matter how difficult it is, we must find a solution; we must never let the Supernatural World fall into chaos." Ji Chen's eyes were firm, his tone filled with determination.
"That's right, we will face it together!" Ceng Yue gripped Ji Chen's hand, giving him silent support.
Just as they were preparing to go all out to find a solution, an inharmonious voice suddenly rang out: "You two, you'd better be honest and stop messing around!"
Ji Chen and Ceng Yue exchanged a look, understanding in their hearts.
The speaker was an Elder of the Ability Association, a stubborn and old-fashioned guy who had always had opinions about their style of doing things.
This old guy relied on his seniority to act like a veteran, often causing trouble for them.
This time's matter probably also had his "contribution".
"Elder, we just want to find a solution and stabilize the order of the Supernatural World." Ji Chen explained patiently, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Hmph, stabilize order? I think you are creating chaos!" The Elder snorted coldly and said with disdain, "The affairs of the Supernatural World are not for you two juniors to interfere with!"
The surrounding Ability Users began to whisper, and their gazes toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were full of suspicion and hostility.
They were like clowns standing in the center of the stage, mocked and accused by everyone.
This feeling was truly stifling!
"Elder, we..." Ceng Yue just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Ji Chen.
"No need to explain." Ji Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and scanned the surrounding Ability Users with cold eyes, "I know that many people have misunderstandings about us, thinking that we are alarmist or even creating panic. However, I want to say that everything we do is for the future of the Supernatural World!"
His voice was sonorous and powerful, as if carrying a magic power, instantly shocking everyone present.
"I know that many people are unconvinced by us, thinking that we are too young and not qualified to lead the Supernatural World. However, I want to ask you, what is your so-called qualification? Is it sitting in a high position and doing nothing, or is it protecting oneself?"
Ji Chen's tone gradually became sharp, his gaze like a torch, looking straight at the Elder, "If your so-called qualification is only used to maintain your own interests, then I would rather not have this qualification!"
After speaking, he turned and left, no longer paying attention to the noise behind him.
Ceng Yue followed silently behind him.
Ji Chen's actions completely angered the Elder. His face turned iron-blue, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Good, very good! Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame the old man for being impolite!"
Ji Chen ignored the Elder's threat and went straight to the Center Plaza of the Supernatural World.
He stood on the high platform, scanned the Ability Users gathered below, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I know that many people are disappointed with the current Supernatural World and feel confused about the future. However, I hope you can believe that we still have hope! As long as we are united, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties before us!"
His voice was full of infectious power, like a beam of light, illuminating the darkness in everyone's hearts.
Some Ability Users who were originally skeptical also began to waver.
"I am willing to follow Lord Ji Chen!" A young Ability User stood out and shouted loudly.
"I am willing too!"
"And me!"
More and more Ability Users stood out, expressing their support for Ji Chen.
They were all the new generation of the Supernatural World, full of hope and longing for the future.
Ji Chen looked at these energetic faces before him, and a warm current surged in his heart.
He knew that he was not fighting alone!
"Very good!" Ji Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Next, we will face an unprecedented challenge! I hope everyone can be prepared!"
Just then, an icy voice suddenly rang out: "Prepared? Prepared for what? Prepared to die?" The icy voice was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, instantly tearing apart the impassioned atmosphere on the plaza.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a man wearing a black robe with a hideous scar on his face slowly walking out.
He exuded powerful pressure, and at a glance, he was a ruthless character not to be trifled with.
"Damn, who is this guy? He looks like he's not to be trifled with!"
"Could it be sent by the Elder? This old guy is truly insidious!"
Discussions arose one after another. Ji Chen and Ceng Yue exchanged a look, and both saw gravity in each other's eyes.
"Kid, don't think you're great just because you have some popularity! Today, I will let you know what true strength is!" The black-robed man said insidiously, his hands shaking violently, and a powerful energy fluctuation instantly spread out.
"Just in time, I was worried about having nowhere to vent!" Ji Chen sneered and rushed up first, his fists wrapped in a layer of dazzling golden light, slamming heavily toward the black-robed man.
Ceng Yue followed closely behind. Ice-blue energy surged around her, forming an indestructible barrier, protecting the surrounding Ability Users.
The battle broke out instantly, fists and feet colliding, energy clashing, the loud noise emitted was deafening, and deep pits were blasted into the ground.
The black-robed man was strong, occupying the upper hand from the beginning, forcing Ji Chen to retreat step by step.
"This guy has some substance!" Ji Chen thought to himself, his figure flickering, dodging the black-robed man's attack. At the same time, he quickly absorbed the energy dissipating in the air, replenishing his own consumption.
Ceng Yue seized the opportunity, and an Ice Spike shot toward the black-robed man like lightning, successfully distracting his attention.
Ji Chen took the opportunity to exert force, and a heavy punch slammed into the black-robed man's chest.
The black-robed man groaned and retreated several steps. He didn't expect these two young people to be so difficult to deal with.
"Interesting! However, your strength is still not enough to look at!" The black-robed man revealed a ferocious grin and rushed up again.
The battle became more and more intense, energy ripples splashing everywhere, making the surrounding Ability Users' blood boil.
The cooperation between Ji Chen and Ceng Yue also became more and more tacit. They were like two sharp knives, shuttling back and forth in the black-robed man's offensive, gradually reversing the situation.
"666! Lord Ji Chen and Goddess Ceng Yue are truly too strong!"
"I feel like I can do it again! This is the true strong person!"
"I want to join them! Do big things with them!"
Cheers and shouts resounded through the clouds, and the performance of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue completely conquered these Ability Users.
In the intense battle, Ceng Yue was slightly panting due to excessive energy consumption. Ji Chen immediately noticed this. He flickered and stood in front of Ceng Yue, looking at her with gentle eyes: "You rest for a while, leave the rest to me."
Ceng Yue looked at the concern in Ji Chen's eyes, and her cold heart melted slightly.
She nodded gently, a hint of an imperceptible smile appearing on the corners of her mouth.
The surrounding air seemed to be filled with a sweet taste.
After the battle ended, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue did not lower their guard. They knew deeply that this was just the beginning.
After some discussion, they decided to first try the method of stabilizing Supernatural Abilities and began to start experiments.
The Ability Users held their breath, watching the changes on the experimental table. Their hearts were full of hope, but also a hint of unease.
Ji Chen took a deep breath and looked at Ceng Yue: "It's starting!" ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
