Chapter 694: Xiong Zhi: His Strength Approaches Hawk-Eye! [6/8 Request Subscription]

The bear, blasted away, tumbled backward through the air…

He activated his Devil Fruit ability to forcibly ease the impact wave surging through his body.

His feet landed steadily on the ground,

He lowered his head,

He stared at the center of his palm.

Thin trails of blood oozed and spread from his palm.

He was injured.

Though not seriously.

But after just a single exchange, he had already suffered minor injuries—this made Xiong Zhi's expression become solemn.

"The young master is truly terrifyingly strong."

"Next…"

"I should take this seriously."

"Otherwise, today I fear I'll be crushed by the young master."

Xiong Zhi thought to himself.

Immediately,

He lightly slapped his own body with his palm.

Shuā!

Accompanied by a soft sound,

He vanished.

He reappeared beside Lu En using his Devil Fruit ability, opened both palms, activated his Devil Fruit, and from his palms emerged a fleshy bubble.

A transparent bubble resembling Xiong Zhang.

"Pressure Cannon!"

Xiong Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

A transparent bubble, no larger than a palm, shot toward Lu En's position with furious speed.

Extremely fast!

Like a thunderclap too swift to cover one's ears.

Caught completely off guard.

Yet,

Long before Xiong Zhi moved, Lu En had already sensed his action.

"All your movements…"

"Are exposed before my Observation Haki."

Lu En smiled confidently.

His Observation Haki had already perceived Xiong Zhi's attack intent.

Therefore,

Before the transparent Xiong Zhang bubble arrived, Lu En activated Rokushiki: Shave and vanished into thin air.

Not Xiong Zhi's teleportation,

But due to his incredible speed,

It gave the illusion of being nearly identical to Xiong Zhi's teleportation.

As Lu En's figure vanished,

The spot where he had stood,

Was struck by the transparent Xiong Zhang bubble.

In an instant,

Boom—

Accompanied by a deafening roar,

The entire earth rang with a thunderous sound.

Like thunder echoing,

Resounding through the heavens.

Violent air pressure exploded like a bomb; a flood of Star Soul power surged toward the ground, forcibly crushing and collapsing the earth.

This attack resembled an air cannon.

It compressed the air with terrifying force, forming a Xiong Zhi projectile that delivered an immensely destructive shockwave to anything it struck.

Crack!

Crack!

The ground cracked,

The earth shattered.

Jagged, terrifying fissures spread in all directions.

Dense and countless,

Like a spiderweb, sending chills down the spine.

Boom—boom—boom!

The entire land trembled violently, trembling and shaking faintly.

Affected by the terrifying shockwave, the area within a hundred meters was swept by the violent disturbance; the ground beneath their feet shook wildly, making it impossible to stand steady.

For a moment.

Smoke and dust rose in wisps.

Dust rolled in swirling clouds.

In an instant,

Lu En and Bear resumed their clash.

Both of their speeds reached their absolute limits.

One achieved teleportation through the power of a Devil Fruit.

The other relied purely on the strength of his physical body, combined with the Marine Six Powers technique: Shave, creating a visual illusion of teleportation through extreme speed.

Both of their speeds were extremely fast.

Every clash unleashed a violent shockwave that spread in all directions.

Few could clearly see the traces of their exchange.

Their speed was simply too fast!

Only in the brief pause between clashes did their true forms become visible.

Otherwise,

When attacking or moving, outsiders could not catch even the faintest trace with their naked eyes.

This is the sparring between top-tier powerhouses of the sea!

Ordinary people could not even see clearly.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

……

Lu En's hands were covered in Armament Haki, and his clash with Bear was fierce.

Bear's strength was very strong.

Combined with his Devil Fruit ability, he left Lu En momentarily unable to find an opening.

But…

Did Bear think he could defeat Lu En?

That was also an extremely difficult task.

Lu En's strength was very strong.

Bear was no weakling,

yet if he wished to defeat Lu En,

this level of strength alone was far from enough!

Around them,

each disciple of the Yixin Dojo stood frozen, staring at the clash, their eyes filled with blank shock, rigid and motionless.

They were stunned.

The clash between these two…

They couldn't even see the movements!

This truly delivered an unprecedented psychological shock.

"Now I finally understand."

"Why strive to grow stronger?"

"It's not…"

"to fight monsters like these."

"But purely to see the traces left by such monsters' battles!"

A disciple spoke in a trembling voice.

This statement received unanimous agreement.
