Chapter 990

The more he thought, the more Lei Li's heart stirred.

Even he, with his vast experience and having followed Luo Jie through countless storms, could not help but be deeply shaken by the news Xia Qi brought.

For a long while,

Lei Li forcibly suppressed the intense shock within him.

"Truly, the younger generation is formidable!"

"I have a feeling…"

"In this future era, the demon fist Lu En will completely dominate everything!"

"There will be no room for anyone else to rise."

"This, is the true, genuine prodigy of a millennium!"

"A rarity once in centuries!"

"No wonder…"

"No wonder this five-year-old demon fist Lu En is universally hailed by the Marines as the strongest genius in history!"

Lei Li couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly, genuinely filled with deep admiration.

As the person involved, Lu En was naturally unaware of the turmoil stirring across the seas.

Even if he knew,

given his nature, he would dismiss it, not giving it much thought.

Time flew by.

Day and night alternated.

In the blink of an eye,

three days had passed.

During these three days, Lu En remained in Windmill Village, daily enduring tedious, monotonous training without slackening for a moment.

After three days,

his strength naturally saw a significant increase.

Stronger than when he fought Ben Beike Man!

In just three days, his strength could not possibly have skyrocketed.

But each day, his power underwent changes as drastic as becoming a different person.

On this day,

Lu En had just finished training.

He casually picked up the towel by the window and wiped away all the sweat dripping from his body.

Huh!

He exhaled heavily, his face wearing a look of satisfaction.

Feeling the faint ache in his muscles, he thought of something and immediately called up his current status panel.

"System, bring up the status panel."

【Host: Lu En】

【Strength: 167.1 (+5.1)】

【Speed: 159.8 (+4.6)】

【Endurance: 159.2 (+4.8)】

【Spiritual Power: 88.4 (+8.3)】

【Demon Back Completion: 19.85%】

【Current Training Effect Multiplier: 100x!】

This was Lu En's training result over these three days.

In addition,

this included the strength gains he obtained after fighting Ben Beike Man.

Of course.

Not only did his four core attributes improve, but his mastery of the three-color Haki, the Marine Six Styles, and other combat techniques also rose significantly after his battle with Ben Beike Man.

Overall,

his strength experienced a substantial surge!

Now,

if Lu En were to face Doflamingo again, he was confident he could crush such a powerful opponent with absolute dominance!

Beat Doflamingo senseless!

With his current strength, Lu En truly possessed the qualifications to do so.

"Today is not as before…"

"The me now is, in every way, a different person from the me months ago."

"Doflamingo?"

"He is no longer my opponent!"

"Even if I meet Ben Beike Man again, I am confident I can stop him without paying the same terrible cost as before!"

Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking this to himself.

Clenching his fists,

he felt the surging, boundless power brewing within his body.

He felt an immense, bold confidence.

Gazing out over the sea,

He, too, was no weakling.

He was a top-tier powerhouse!

Barely short of the Four Emperors.

Barely short of the Navy Admirals.

"Even the three Navy Admirals—Akainu, Aokiji, Huang Yuan—I can now face head-on with my current strength."

Lu En analyzed calmly.

This was still his most conservative estimate.

Akainu, Aokiji, and the other two were clearly not yet at the peak period of their power.

Their natural-type Devil Fruit abilities gave them an exceptionally high starting point.

Yet at barely twenty years old, they were still far from the strength they would reach during the Marineford War.

At this moment,

Lu En was extremely confident.

He could stand firm against these three future Navy Admirals!

His strength would not be inferior to theirs.

"In the blink of an eye, I've grown to this level."

"How unpredictable life is…"

Lu En sighed deeply.

He hadn't expected it.

In such a short time, he had become this powerful!

Even top-tier powerhouses like Aokiji and Akainu were now on par with him!

After a long while,

Lu En suppressed all the tangled thoughts in his mind.

After three days of rest and recovery, plus the round-the-clock medical treatment sent by Captain Kapu, his injuries had healed rapidly.

In just three short days,

His previously grave condition had been almost entirely cured, restored to its original state.

Since yesterday,
