You fucking dare humiliate me! I’ll fight you to the death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely enraged, Wang Jixiong drew out all the Spiritual Energy from his Dantian and began circulating it rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual Energy flooded Wang Jixiong’s body as a faint golden Spiritual Light shimmered on his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh? This guy’s will is so fragile. All I did was taunt him with a few home truths. He couldn’t take the humiliation and decided to burn through all his remaining Spiritual Energy...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Li sensed the violent surge of Spiritual Energy emanating from Wang Jixiong, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I die, I’m not going to let you walk away from this after humiliating me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having unleashed all the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian, and knowing there was no turning back, Wang Jixiong held nothing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All traces of fear vanished from his face, revealing his savage nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of bullshit is that? You’re the one who ambushed me from the bushes, trying to kill me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that you’re losing, you get all bent out of shape over a few taunts and decide to go for broke, spouting nonsense that makes me sound like the villain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those are your last words, then you’re free to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Wang Jixiong’s final declaration, Lin Li’s smile vanished. His face became expressionless, and he spoke in an icy tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell!\" The Spiritual Short Saber in his hand flared again with a faint golden Spiritual Light. Having unleashed all the Spiritual Energy from his Dantian, Wang Jixiong charged at Lin Li like a rabid dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHOOSH.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wang Jixiong charged him with a savage expression, Lin Li raised his left hand. A tiny flame, no bigger than a fingertip, materialized out of thin air at his fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, as if doused in oil, the tiny flame roared to life, swelling into a Fireball the size of a watermelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jixiong had been charging Lin Li like a rabid dog, his face a mask of savagery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon seeing the watermelon-sized Fireball appear in his enemy’s hand, what little sanity he had left instantly returned, and his pace slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So he’s a Cultivator with a Dual Superpower. On top of a Storage Space Superpower, he actually awakened a Fireball Superpower, too. No wonder he’s more than a match for me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jixiong’s face filled with terror upon seeing the Fireball in Lin Li’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already released all the Spiritual Energy from his Dantian. If he chose to run now, he would only die faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck it! I’m dead if I run and dead if I stay. I’ll take you down with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing his death was certain, Wang Jixiong, who had just slowed his pace, accelerated once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the faint golden Spiritual Light covering his body grew denser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was channeling his Spiritual Energy to bolster his body’s defenses, hoping to minimize the damage from the impending Fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHOOSH.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wang Jixiong charged to within ten meters of Lin Li, the watermelon-sized Fireball shot from Lin Li’s hand, flying straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The approaching Fireball was incredibly fast. At such a short distance, there was simply no time to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wang Jixiong had already anticipated this and had coated his body in a thick layer of Spiritual Energy, planning to tank the Fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"BOOM.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scorching Fireball slammed into Wang Jixiong’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Fireball exploded, searing flames engulfed Wang Jixiong, setting his clothes on fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Wang Jixiong had preemptively coated his body with Spiritual Energy, which saved his skin from being burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat my blade!\" Having tanked the Fireball Attack, Wang Jixiong roared, leaping high and swinging the golden-glowing Spiritual Short Saber down toward Lin Li’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SWISH.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Wang Jixiong leaped into the air, a razor-sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade shot from Lin Li’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving even faster than the Fireball, it streaked toward Wang Jixiong’s exposed chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... impossible! You’ve awakened three Superpowers?!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suspended in mid-air, Wang Jixiong cried out in shock as he saw the crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade leave Lin Li’s hand, his face a mask of utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I lied earlier. I don’t have a Storage Space Superpower. I actually only have two Superpowers,\" Lin Li said softly after launching the crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Jixiong would never hear him. The lethally sharp, crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade had already struck him in the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SQUELCH.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cyan Wind Blade pierced clean through Wang Jixiong’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the brain is a human’s number one vital spot, then the heart is number two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart sliced in two by the crescent-shaped Cyan Wind Blade, Wang Jixiong was killed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THUD.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jixiong’s lifeless body plummeted to the ground with a heavy thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed from the wound in his chest, flowing uncontrollably. In just a moment, a small, warm pool of blood formed beneath his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Li let out a soft sigh, having killed the criminal wanted by the Superpower Administration Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt no guilt about killing an enemy who had been trying to kill him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the enemy was dead, it was time to collect the spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tsk... I think I’ve seen this Spiritual Short Saber online before. It’s worth about 1.2 million, I think. Too bad I can’t sell it, otherwise I’d have made a small fortune.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Li took the Spiritual Short Saber from the dead Wang Jixiong’s hand, gave it a couple of swings, and then with a thought, stored it away in the Mysterious Small Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh right, he also has a Spiritual Crossbow. I almost forgot about it. I was just thinking about saving up some money to go to a Spiritual Power Weapon Shop to buy a ranged weapon...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect. Now I don’t have to spend any money. Once I get back, all I need to do is buy some bolts, and I can use this Spiritual Crossbow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Li hurried over to where Wang Jixiong had dropped his bag and picked the backpack up from the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unzipped the bag and pulled out a small, exquisite Spiritual Crossbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This thing isn’t cheap! Last time I saw a model similar to this one online, I think it was selling for two million.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Li gazed at the small, exquisite Spiritual Crossbow in his hand, the thought of its two-million price tag made the smile on his face grow even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1103,"2026-06-06T12:43:53.919Z",1,"novelbin.me","140cac1406a5a8e9831cd97fdcc8e17914ca81bbe2034dd87665c05ba7e952b1","i-start-with-a-mysterious-island-chapter-109","i-start-with-a-mysterious-island-chapter-108",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-start-with-a-mysterious-island-cover.jpg"]
