Chapter 141

He couldn't move a muscle.

His body, in an instant, was completely out of his control!

The finger pistol thrust he had meant to drive forward, the force gathered at his fingertips, dissipated like smoke.

This strike was defused by Lu En without the slightest effort.

The whole thing was utterly casual,

calm and composed.

What's more,

Lu En didn't even shift his feet a single inch, standing quietly in place as always, his gaze placidly fixed on Bokarto, who was right before his eyes.

In a single thought,

the arm formed from strands of hair contracted!

It could be seen that

the hair-arm coiled around Bokarto's neck suddenly began to tighten, continually shrinking the space, as if intending to strangle his neck clean through.

"Th-this is…"

In an instant, Bokarto's face flushed crimson from lack of oxygen, his eyes shot through with blood vessels, his features filled with utter shock and horror.

He stood dumbstruck, staring at Lu En before him, his throat parched, unable to speak for the moment.

An overwhelming wave of shock surged through his heart…

Bokarto was completely dumbfounded.

His entire worldview shattered and collapsed on the spot.

"L-Life Return?!"

Bokarto cried out involuntarily.

He had never in his wildest dreams imagined

that the Lu En before him would, right at the opening, unleash the Six Powers ultimate technique—Life Return!

This was an immensely powerful combat technique, one that could only be comprehended after cultivating the Six Powers to their absolute peak!

Its difficulty coefficient…

far surpassed the Navy's Six Powers themselves!

Even Bokarto himself had never managed to master Life Return.

Precisely because of this,

upon seeing Lu En unleash Life Return, Bokarto's Xinqingcai Society emotions surged with such overwhelming shock.

He was utterly beside himself, his eyes bulging wide, his face stricken with terror as he stared at Lu En.

Everything unfolding before them utterly overturned their very understanding.

"How could this be?!"

"Even I, after years of cultivating the Navy's Six Powers, have never been able to master the Six Powers ultimate—Life Return. Yet at this very moment, Mr. Lu En has actually mastered it?!"

"He's only four years old, and he's already mastered Life Return?"

"Th-this!"

Bokarto's spirit was rocked to its core.

If he remembered correctly…

it seemed that only half a month ago, Lu En hadn't even mastered the Navy's Six Powers.

And now,

in the span of a mere half month, the other party had not only cultivated the Six Powers to absolute perfection, but had even fully mastered the ultimate technique Life Return derived from them.

This truly dealt Bokarto an unprecedented, devastating blow to his spirit.

It left him standing there, stunned out of his wits.

He had imagined

that Lu En would evade his finger pistol in countless possible ways.

But he could never have predicted…

that the other party would use Life Return to forcibly bind his body, thereby head-on defusing the finger pistol!

Feeling the hair coiled around his neck continually tightening, Bokarto's breathing rhythm was utterly disrupted, and the energy within his body became completely chaotic.

His face flushed crimson, he unleashed the mighty power stored within his body, struggling desperately, trying to break free from the restraints formed by Lu En's Life Return.

At the same time.

The clash between Lu En and Bokarto in their very first exchange was also captured with perfect clarity in the eyes of the countless Marines surrounding them.

"Wh-what technique is this?!"

A Marine recruit asked in a trembling voice.

He stared dumbly at

Bokarto, whose limbs and body had been completely controlled in a single exchange…

These scenes sent shock rippling wildly through the hearts of every Marine present.

"He took down Lieutenant Commander Bokarto in a single exchange?!"

"N-no way?"

"What technique is this? Why have we never heard of it before?"

"How terrifying!"

"Mr. Lu En is simply far too strong!"

One Marine after another let out voices filled with shock.
