Chapter 124: Flesh and Blood Against the Sea Kings

"W-Woah?"

"Am I seeing things?"

"Mr. Lu En, is he really going to fight a Sea King barehanded?"

"Take on a Sea King with nothing but his physical body?"

"Oh my god! Is he insane?"

"Absolutely mad!"

"Now this is what you call real skill and guts."

"..."

Every single one of the several hundred Marines on the warship stood rooted to the spot, staring at Lu En's every move.

They were dumbfounded.

The astonishing sight of four-year-old Lu En attempting to take on a Sea King barehanded had truly given them quite a fright.

"Vice Admiral Kapu, are you sure this is fine?"

Bokatou asked worriedly, unable to hold back.

"Relax, this kid's strength far surpasses anything you or I could imagine!"

"He would never do something he wasn't sure of."

"Besides, even in the worst case, with this kid's strength he wouldn't be instantly killed by the Sea King. As long as he isn't killed instantly, this old man can pull him out in time."

Kapu waved his hand, his expression full of anticipation as he watched Lu En's figure.

In an instant,

Lu En, who was beneath the sea, could feel it very clearly.

His body seemed to have grown a little sluggish...

The push of the currents slightly restricted Lu En's mobility. Though the restriction wasn't large, it left Lu En feeling oddly uncomfortable.

"The pressure from the seawater is suppressing my speed quite a bit."

"Looks like I'll need to get used to it."

There was still a lot Lu En needed to adapt to in his first time fighting a Sea King in the open ocean.

But right now, he didn't have much time to prepare.

Because...

A kilometer ahead,

the horse-shaped Sea King was already bearing down on them with a terrifying, unstoppable momentum, charging madly toward Lu En and the warship behind him at a frightening speed.

As this Sea King streaked through the ocean at high speed, it sent ripples spreading across the surface, and the entire sea seemed to be sliced apart, leaving a vicious scar.

Seawater flew up,

spray scattering in all directions.

Wave after wave had already reached the waters where Lu En was.

He swam several dozen meters away, leaving this wide, open stretch of sea as the battlefield for his clash with the Sea King.

To avoid the shockwaves from the fierce battle that was about to erupt damaging the warship beyond repair.

"Here it comes!"

Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the dark, enormous shadow beneath the sea with keen interest.

Immediately after,

he struck first.

Without a moment's hesitation...

he suddenly shot forward through the sea.

Whoosh!

Lu En pushed off with force, sending a surging wave rolling wildly.

Boom—

He kicked lightly with both feet.

The patch of seawater beneath him seemed to be struck by an incomprehensibly terrifying pressure, forcibly blasted into a deep depression.

Then,

accompanied by an earth-shattering roar.

A thunderous boom rang out from the sea.

In an instant,

Lu En's body shot forth like an arrow loosed from its string, bursting up from beneath the sea and charging straight at the oncoming Sea King without a trace of fear.

Wherever Lu En passed...

the sea likewise surged into towering waves, spray flying up into the air, faintly tracing out an elusive rainbow.

A deluge of seawater slammed into Lu En's body, trying to block his high-speed movement beneath the waves.

The seawater put up quite a resistance...

But Lu En's speed was still incredibly high!

Getting closer!

The distance between Lu En and the Sea King was shrinking fast.

From a full kilometer at the start,

to three hundred meters now,

two hundred,

One hundred meters.

……

At close range, Lu En could feel the surging baleful aura emanating from the Sea King ahead, along with the overwhelming pressure of its extremely vigorous life force.

Under the gaze of Captain Kapu and several hundred Marines.

Finally—

Lu En moved at high speed and collided head-on with the Sea King, which was also moving at high speed.

"Iron Body — Steel Fist!"

With a great shout,

Lu En drove the surging power within his body, immediately executing the Six Powers of the Marines, gathering force into his right arm, then condensing it onto his fist.

Power focused to a single point,

he slammed it straight at the Sea King before him.

One fist thrown,

smashed down hard.

This punch instantly caused the power Lu En had been building up to erupt in full.

Like a volcano that had been gathering for ages finally erupting.

As the fist fell,

faintly,

the fist even struck the surrounding space until it writhed and twisted, producing wave after wave of visual illusion of space trembling, looking as if it might shatter and collapse at any moment.

Whoosh!

A sonic boom rang out.

Piercing,

earsplitting.

Lu En's punch, due to the extreme speed of the strike combined with the sudden eruption of the power contained within it, forcibly ground against space and produced a sonic boom.

Unparalleled power gathered into Lu En's fist.

Before the fist arrived,

the fist wind came.

The fist wind, with its tremendous tearing force, created wave after wave of terrifying air shockwaves, causing the seawater all around Lu En to writhe and tremble.

In the end,

this punch aimed straight at the Sea King's head,

and landed successfully!

Boom—

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar.

Violent power erupted from Lu En's fist, surging toward the Sea King's massive body with overwhelming force.

The power unleashed by this punch.

Overwhelming and irresistible,

world-shattering!

Power of utter destruction instantly corroded the Sea King's massive body.
