Chapter 140

Under the sunlight.

A golden halo of light scattered down over Lu En's body.

Every muscle on his body bulged,

centipede-like veins crawling across the muscles of Lu En's upper body, and a faint white scar on his chest made this muscular frame look all the more ferocious.

Robust and powerful,

broad-backed and thick-waisted.

Every bulging muscle held an explosive, aesthetic force.

It delivered an intense visual impact to the viewer.

A back like a demon's…

as though a devil's pattern had been branded onto it.

Hair-raising,

sending a chill down the spine.

An incomparably vast, overwhelming pressure slowly radiated from Lu En's body.

In an instant,

it pressed down on the entire field!

Every marine present felt the full suppressive force radiating from Lu En's body.

Their scalps went numb, their eyes filled with terror and tension as they stared at Lu En's figure.

Especially…

seeing Lu En's ferocious demon-like back,

it stirred up a deep sense of awe in every marine's heart.

"W-what a terrifying aura!"

"The aura radiating from Mr. Lu En is clearly far more terrifying than Lieutenant Colonel Bokato's!"

By contrast,

even though Bokato possessed the burly frame of a grown man, the momentum radiating from him was far inferior to that of the four-year-old Lu En standing opposite him.

Twisting his arm slightly, Lu En smiled at Bokato: "Lieutenant Colonel Bokato, are you ready?"

In that moment,

the atmosphere grew oppressive!

A murderous air rose up of its own accord.

At this moment,

even battle-hardened Bokato was shaken to the core by the powerful aura radiating from the Lu En before his eyes.

Hoo!

He let out a heavy breath,

forcibly suppressing the pounding of his heart.

With a face full of gravity, he stared at Lu En and slowly uttered a single word.

"Fight!"

A great battle,

was about to erupt at the slightest provocation!.

Right under Captain Kapu's gaze,

and in the eyes of the several hundred marines present.

The battle erupted.

Bokato struck first.

"Soru!"

The Soru of the Six Powers was executed by Bokato with flawless mastery.

In an instant.

His figure vanished from the spot as if by magic.

Without a trace…

Without a sound.

With the naked eye alone, it was utterly impossible to track Bokato's movement trajectory.

As a Headquarters Lieutenant Colonel of the Marines and a trusted subordinate of Captain Kapu, Bokato had long since mastered the Six Powers to perfection.

In an instant,

Bokato appeared beside Lu En, force gathered at his fingertips.

He thrust out a finger,

swift as lightning.

The finger seemed to transform into a bullet, hurtling toward Lu En's forehead and glabella at a terrifying speed.

Swoosh—

A piercing sound of tearing air rang out.

A surging blast of air rushed toward Lu En's face.

This single thrust seemed bent on shattering and tearing apart space itself; the shockwave rippled out gust after gust of air, stirring Lu En's hair as it danced through the atmosphere.

"Finger Pistol!"

Another of the Six Powers, displayed by Bokato's hand.

Facing this move, Lu En showed no sign of dodging from start to finish.

Then,

Under the watchful eyes of everyone,

Lu En unleashed right at the opening the Six-Style Arcane Art — Life Return, which he had only just mastered in recent days!

Because three days ago, when he had just mastered Life Return, with the help of the system's supreme infusion, he had already brought Life Return to a state of absolute perfection.

On top of that…

After several days of cultivation, Lu En's mastery of Life Return had grown even deeper!

At this point,

With but a single thought, Lu En could easily control any part of his own body.

He gently closed his eyes, pouring all of his mind's consciousness entirely into his own hair.

In an instant,

Lu En's hair seemed to come alive as a living organism, gaining the ability of independent thought, and began to slowly extend, like a wild dance of countless strands, madly whirling around him.

Then,

Countless strands of hair, coiling like a spider's web, transformed into six arms and suddenly lunged at the charging Bokato before him.

Swish, swish, swish!

Rings of sharp, resonant sounds of tearing through the air rang out.

Piercing,

Harsh on the ears.

The six arms conjured from hair, with the swiftness of lightning, swiftly wrapped themselves around Bokato's arms.

Two arms bound Bokato's arms,

One arm coiled around Bokato's neck,

Two arms bound Bokato's legs,

The last arm firmly wrapped around Bokato's waist.

At this point,

Bokato's attack was effortlessly neutralized.

His finger gun froze quietly at Lu En's forehead, at the space between his brows, less than ten centimeters away, and came to an abrupt halt, forcibly stopped dead.

Motionless,
