Chapter 416

Shijia was chewing on a lollipop, and besides, he gave Shipo a disdainful glance: "Moreover, this is not even close to the full authority of a Preservation Envoy; it's only one-tenth at best. It might even be less than one-tenth... his Foundation Stone is already damaged, probably only one-twentieth?"

"That's already quite strong." Xu Zuo Zhi Nan leaned against the soft couch, "With this incomplete power, he should also be able to suppress Xing and them... provided that Yellow Springs doesn't intervene."

"Heh, suppress? Not to mention a damaged Foundation Stone, even if Shajin's Foundation Stone were complete, it's absolutely impossible to suppress the Train Team." Luoji, leaning in the shade beside him, rested his chin and sneered: "Never mind the others for now... what do you think, how much power is that guy named Waerte hiding?"

"This..."

Xu Zuo Zhi Nan was momentarily at a loss; although he could see that Mr. Waerte was indeed holding back, the other party was like a bottomless trench—seeing that he had hidden three-tenths of his power didn't mean he only had three-tenths; rather, your line of sight downward could only reach that point.

He was probably holding back even during his fight with Huanlong, and never used his full strength.

"You can't tell, right?" Luoji gave a sinister smile, "If he were willing to display all his power, he probably wouldn't need Yellow Springs to act; he alone could suppress Shajin."

——

One-Punch Man.

"Venerable! Look! He transformed!"

From the gym of the Hero Association came a rising and falling chorus of exclamations; dozens of men and women in tank tops stood there, heads tilted up, gazing at the sky curtain, their mouths involuntarily forming a large O.

"This, this is the Preservation Envoy... so handsome..." A woman in a tank top blushed involuntarily.

Although Shajin's usual behavior was already flamboyant, no one expected that after using the Foundation Stone, his attire would become even more extravagant and gorgeous; especially the sense of oppression brought by his confidence and dominance made many female members of the Vest Gang who were training blush and their hearts race.

"Hey hey, stop looking! We need to believe in the power of the tank top." The leader of the Vest Venerable tugged at his own tank top, accompanied by a crisp "pop", and the members of the Vest Gang all snapped back to attention, continuing their training.

But some people began to ask curiously: "Venerable, if we train in our current way, can we reach Shajin's level?"

"Hmm..." The Vest Venerable paused, thought for a moment, then firmly raised his head: "Of course, but the premise is that you must believe in the power of the tank top, then persist in training. One day you will reach his realm."

"Someday... but how long is that?"

"I'm not sure either, probably about fifty years?" The Vest Venerable heavily patted his shoulder, "In any case, let's train together toward the goal of Shajin for these fifty years!"

——

"Even if one is in adversity, as long as there is hope, one will surely follow through... your latent potential is worth my going all out!"

"With the crisp sound of Shajin's finger snap, in an instant the surrounding scenery reorganized like shattered mirrors reassembling—when the Train Team members opened their eyes again, they found themselves in the center of a glittering casino. Countless dice spun in midair on their own, and each time they stopped, the corresponding number appeared behind Shajin."

"Wanna come and have a game with me?"

"Shajin looked down on everyone from above, his figure appearing both illusory and real in the light. March Seven didn't want to waste words with him, quickly nocked an arrow and shot the Six-Phase Ice Arrow—however, the arrow tip was deflected an inch from Shajin's face and dissolved into water."

"Jizi's gaze sank: '... He definitely has the blessing of Preservation on him.' She exchanged a meaningful glance with Waerte beside her and nodded, 'Looks like we can only play by his rules for now.'"

"Everyone took turns tapping the dice, but no matter how many times they tried, the total points never surpassed Shajin's."

"With a round of dice coming to rest, the outcome was decided."

"Too bad."

"Shajin's voice carried a hint of teasing and mockery; he calmly spread his arms, and only then did everyone notice that behind him had arisen a towering wall of chips reaching into the clouds."

"The dice have been cast—either everything or nothing!"

"He grinned wickedly and flicked his finger forward——"

"The massive wall forged from billions of chips collapsed with a roar, instantly turning into a sky-engulfing tsunami that surged toward everyone. The chips collided, emitting a piercing hum that shook the entire casino to pieces."

——

Jujutsu Kaisen.

"Oh? Domain Expansion?"

Liangmian Sunuo showed a slightly surprised expression, but quickly returned to his usual calm in the next second. The corners of his mouth twitched upward slightly, as if he found everything happening in the sky curtain highly amusing.

Although he had never personally experienced this special 'domain,' as the King of Curses he had, over the long ages, clashed with countless people in domains, and countless had died in his Purge Kitchen. The instant he saw the domain, he began to analyze it unconsciously.

"A domain enhances one's technique and also adds a sure-hit effect to it. In Shajin's domain, the condition for triggering the sure-hit effect is the total of the dice... as long as the number is lower than his, the opponent will be drowned in his sea of chips no matter how they dodge."

"Perhaps within the domain his luck gets a slight boost... no, no need for a boost, his luck has always been excellent."

Keeping a certain distance from Sunuo, Qiansuo suddenly interjected: 'But the truly frightening thing isn't just his sure-hit effect? Inside the domain, the Train Team can't even scratch him.'

Indeed, that's the case—not only March Seven, but no one can harm him; they can only forcibly attack the indestructible dice before him.

"The power of Preservation... heh heh, isn't that unreasonable? It seems even more troublesome than Gojo's Limitless Technique? I'm afraid even your slash won't scratch him at all."

"Indeed it's troublesome, but there's something even more troublesome ahead."

Sunuo did not see Yellow Springs' figure inside the domain—in other words, that woman has not yet made a move.

He was waiting for her to draw her sword.

——

"Faced with the engulfing flood of chips, Xing instinctively raised his Flame Spear to block and defend, trying to use Preservation again to protect his companions, just as he had done against Huanlong last time."

"However, after who knows how many seconds, the expected intense pain never arrived—not even a hint of abrasion."

"..."What's going on?"

"Xing's heart gave a jolt as he slowly opened his eyes——"

Only saw Huangquan holding a sword with one hand, stretched out before, the whole person like a sharp blade standing still. From beginning to end, she only fought gripping the sword sheath, never truly drawing it.

Shajin's tone finally produced a slight change.

"Strong card slow play, putting on airs… you guys are making me a bit anxious."
