PDS: I don't know if it's being dramatic, but sometimes I really feel useless... If I could become incredibly powerful, I could help my friends and the important people in my life...
Well, just a quick thought... Starting today, I'll try to update twice a day again. I need to work harder, both studying and writing...
Chapter 175 The Legend Descends
"Storm, bury him!" roared Lifeforge.
The tornadoes, spanning several miles in radius, resembled the Fang Over Fang technique from Naruto, only hundreds of them. The swirling winds were like solid blades, each tens of meters in diameter, constantly piercing and sweeping towards Li Wei's location.
Yes, through!
After Sheng Zhilian unleashed the Storm's Fury, the area was filled with the howling of the wind. One tornado after another descended upon Li Wei, beginning to wreak havoc. Massive amounts of soil and lava were thrown up and splashed everywhere. In an instant, dust filled the air, and a thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire area.
Sheng Zhilian coldly watched the scene before him, feeling no sympathy whatsoever. Although this wasn't exactly his trump card, it was still a very powerful weapon.
Although Storm's Fury looks like an AOE skill with wide-area damage, it is not actually that powerful. Under his control, this skill can cause cumulative damage at a certain point while attacking in an area.
On the other side, Kurohime, who had left the battlefield after hearing Sheng Zhilian's words, couldn't help but change her expression when she saw the changes in the sky. Even she was shocked by the scale of the power.
In Kill la Kill, Kurome's full strength is among the top tier, but even she can't do something as devastating as this. Under the influence of Storm's Fury, the area within several miles becomes oppressive and gloomy, as if the entire sky is about to collapse.
Under such overwhelming pressure, Kurohime felt like an ant powerless to fight back, utterly incapable of contending with the heavens.
Black Eyes gave a self-deprecating laugh: "With this kind of strength, what do I need to worry about..."
Yes, Hei Tong left the battlefield, but she didn't go too far. She was prepared to help if anyone interfered, that is, if Sheng Zhi Lian was besieged by the villains. Also, in case of any unforeseen circumstances, she would help Sheng Zhi Lian take revenge.
But now it seems that her thoughts were unnecessary. In her opinion, there is probably no one in the capital who can rival such world-destroying power. General Esdeath's title of the strongest is hard to maintain!
"Looks like I'd better leave quickly."
Seeing that things were going badly, Kuroko quickly started to move away. Otherwise, given the scale of the battle, even if it was a one-sided massacre, she could still be affected. The intense heat of the Life Refinement and the high temperature of Hell had made her feel the heat even where she was.
……
A few minutes later, Sheng Zhilian looked at the unrecognizable landscape, let out a heavy snort, and then laughed.
"For me to use this level of power, you must be a pretty strong person."
After saying this, Sheng Zhilian was about to deactivate his transformation.
However, at this moment, a clear phoenix cry rang out, and a firebird suddenly flew into the air from where Li Wei had been standing and then fell back to the ground. When the firebird fell to the ground, the area around it turned into a ring of burning fire, and a fiery tornado rose up in the center. At the same time, all the flames quickly contracted to the center and condensed into a human shape.
As the flames subsided, Li Wei was revealed to be unharmed, twisting his neck from side to side and making gurgling sounds.
Suddenly, Sheng Zhilian's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Wei in disbelief, saying, "This...this is..."
Li Wei said casually, "Is rebirth from the ashes strange?"
Isn't that strange?
Sheng Zhilian's mind suddenly became a mess.
Rebirth is the legendary ability of the phoenix. Legend has it that when the phoenix reaches the age of five hundred, it gathers fragrant wood and immolates itself, then rises from the ashes, becoming exceptionally beautiful and never dying again.
There is also a legend that every five hundred years, the phoenix must carry all the unhappiness, hatred and grudges accumulated in the human world and throw itself into a raging fire to burn itself, exchanging its life and beautiful end for peace and happiness in the human world. Similarly, after enduring great pain and tempering in its body, it is reborn with a more beautiful body.
There are several legends about rebirth, and although the versions are not exactly the same, they all mention the same thing, which is... rebirth!
This is an extremely high-end ability in any fantasy world. Even in the world of reincarnation, it is not something simple. At least the Refinement of Life cannot ignore it. On the contrary, he was very surprised and shocked that Li Wei possessed this ability.
If the power of rebirth were applied to seasoned mentors, he might only be amazed by their strength, but when it appeared in Li Wei…
Life's trials made him feel that nothing was quite real.
"An ignorant and inferior race."
Li Wei said calmly, "You humans are truly a pathetic species. Whenever something comes into your life that is beyond your comprehension, you often choose to escape into your own delusions rather than confront it."
With that, Li Wei gave a cold laugh, his face twisted in a dark expression, "Humans with no value to exist!"
"The ice field has descended."
Li Wei spread his arms out, and as he did so, ice-blue feathers rapidly grew from his arms, transforming into two wings. Then, with a flap of his wings, gusts of cold air surged out in all directions, and snow began to fall from the sky, turning into a blizzard in just over ten seconds. After another ten seconds, countless hailstones began to fall!
These hailstones weren't falling randomly; they were all rushing towards the Refinement of Life, which meant Li Wei was controlling them.
"Damn it!"
Life Refinement quickly recovered from his momentary lapse in concentration. When Li Wei began his attack, he tried to activate the elemental manipulation abilities of the fantastical creatures within his life components to resist Li Wei. However, he discovered that he couldn't even interfere with Li Wei, let alone resist him.
If he wasn't mistaken, Li Wei's pair of ice-blue wings were also the wings of the legendary ice phoenix from mythology!
"hateful!"
Sheng Zhilian's face instantly darkened. Although Li Wei's change was beyond his expectations, it did not mean that he would not resist. He did not believe that as one of the four most outstanding students in the same batch of terrifying high schools, he would lose to his opponent.
"Fiery Hurricane!"
With a roar, Sheng Zhilian unleashed several fiery tornadoes that crisscrossed and swirled around him, melting the hailstones upon contact with the flames.
"A boring struggle."
Li Wei smiled darkly, looking at Sheng Zhilian with the eyes of someone looking at a clown, "But it's interesting. Sometimes the performance of ants can bring a little bit of fun."
"So what if that's the case?"
After a few slightly manic laughs, Li Wei's expression turned cold the next moment, and he snapped his fingers as his wings transformed back into human arms.
"Ice and flames spread like wildfire."
As soon as Li Wei said this, ice-blue flames, each about the size of a basketball, began to fall from the sky. These flames fell densely, covering an area of several hundred meters without any blind spots. When these flames landed on the ground, they burned like ordinary flames, and even without any accelerant, they spread in all directions.
Surprisingly, these flames appear to be burning, but the areas that have been "burned" have all turned into thick layers of ice.
These icy blue flames also landed on the flames of the Life Refinement. In just over ten seconds, the flames of the Life Refinement were extinguished, and the flames landed on him, freezing into chunks of ice.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Zhilian immediately changed the properties of his life components, and the hair on his body turned snow-white.
"How is that possible? Even with cold resistance several times greater than that of a snowman, it still can't withstand this wind and snow?"
Sheng Zhilian murmured in disbelief.
"There's no need to embarrass yourself by mentioning the Yeti, that kind of trashy creature," Li Wei said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Zhilian felt a surge of intense anger.
"You, you think you've already won?"
"The outcome was obvious; the result was predetermined from the start."
"Heh... I admit, you are indeed stronger than I expected, but..."
Suddenly, Sheng Zhilian grinned menacingly and said, "With my strength alone, I am indeed no match for you, but it's a pity..."
At this point, a mysterious three-dimensional rune appeared in Sheng Zhilian's hand. He crushed it, and a strange wave spread out from the broken part of the rune, enveloping the entire area.
Then Li Wei discovered that his movements had become more than ten times slower. Not only that, the falling flames from the sky also slowed down, and even the speed at which the flames spread was affected.
"Has our time been delayed?"
Li Wei quickly came to this conclusion.
"That's right, isn't it incredibly hopeless?"
Life Refinement laughed maniacally, "I don't believe that you can defeat me when your time is slowed down by fifteen times. I told you, the victor of this battle is me!"
"And you, in the end, are just a stray dog."
"The lost dog?"
Li Wei laughed, "Comparing a dog to you is an insult to dogs."
"you!?"
Sheng Zhilian angrily said, "At this point, all you can do is talk. If the timing is right, my biological army will arrive in half a minute, and you will have even less chance to struggle."
However... a few minutes later, Sheng Zhilian, who had wanted to see Li Wei's utterly desperate and broken eyes, found that the surroundings were still empty.
"How...how is this possible?" Sheng Zhilian asked, puzzled. "Even if the creatures around were affected and died, that's enough time for those from beyond the affected area to arrive..."
"Oh? You want to see?"
Although Li Wei's time was slowed down, due to his superb physical abilities, his movements did not appear to be delayed to the average person.
Li Wei whistled softly, and a bird flew over quickly, then dropped something on Sheng Zhilian's head...
Sheng Zhilian subconsciously moved away from that liquid and glared angrily at Li Wei.
"you……"
However, he quickly retracted his words and turned to look at Li Wei with icy eyes: "Very well, I'll show you now what execution is, what it means to be unable to live or die."
As he spoke, Sheng Zhilian was about to launch an attack on Li Wei, and judging from his momentum, it was even more astonishing than before!
"I'm tired of your performances."
"A mere delay is laughable."
Li Wei said casually, "Let's end this joke."
Under the terrified gaze of Sheng Zhilian, Li Wei uttered these words:
“Mahāpratimāra”.
Time, frozen.
PS:
PSD: Luckily it's during makeup exams, so the power's on all night... otherwise I wouldn't be able to update... I'm writing this now, Orz. I haven't managed a double update yet, but a 3000-word chapter is alright, right? QAQ
PDA: Happy Women's Day, belatedly! To all the boys and girls... um...
ODS: I didn't expect any of you to ask such a serious question...? (^?^*) If you have any worries or problems you can't figure out, feel free to ask me! For example, what to do if you have too much money and can't spend it all, or your girlfriend is too cute and you're having trouble with her. I can easily help you solve these problems.
I can't take it anymore, I need to take a few days off.
Actually, it started a while after the holidays began before the Lunar New Year. My eyes would get very uncomfortable after looking at the computer or phone for a short time. Now, it's gotten much worse during the day when I'm teaching and at night when I'm writing. I can barely look at anything for ten minutes or so before my eyes start to feel uncomfortable. Orz
I got some eye drops prescribed, but the effect isn't very noticeable... and they're incredibly expensive and a total rip-off. They're the kind where you have to open a whole small bottle just to use one drop, and then you have to throw the whole bottle away. The price translates to over ten yuan per drop...orz. I've been using several bottles a day for the past few days, but it doesn't seem to help much. I can rest for a few hours without any problems, but looking at the computer makes me uncomfortable. It's really infuriating...
I asked a friend, and they said I need at least two or three days of rest... so I have no choice but to ask for leave; I just can't take it anymore. Orz
It'll probably be two or three days, depending on the situation...
Lastly, by the way... do any of you guys know any good eye drops for relieving eye fatigue and moisturizing the eyes? QAQ
Chapter 176 Is it only you who can unlock this?
“Mahāpratimāra”.
As soon as Li Wei said that, the whole world turned into an ice-blue color. The wind stopped, the snow froze, the flames stopped burning, and people stopped moving.
An ice sword appeared in Li Wei's hand, which he then plunged into Sheng Zhilian's body. Time resumed its flow, and Sheng Zhilian watched in horror as his body was gradually frozen.
However, he quickly suppressed his fear and looked coldly at Li Wei: "So what if you kill me? You should be the strongest of the four of us, that's true. You are strong, but with your strength alone, you still can't fight against the remaining three of us!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, although we are all about the same, in terms of combat strength, I am the weakest. Among the four of us, I am just a support-type class, equivalent to a priest."
As Sheng Zhilian spoke, his expression became somewhat manic. "I admit I lost to you, but it was just a battle I wasn't good at."
"And you think you've won?"
Sheng Zhilian shouted loudly, "I am your instructor, please come out and lend me a hand."
As soon as the words "Life Refinement" were uttered, a man wearing a white mask and an officer's uniform stepped out.
The person who arrived was Nai Dali, the instructor who had officially started training them in women's clothing skills. He was a monk from Huangquan Temple.
As the four most outstanding students in their class, although they harbored resentment and grudges against Nai Dali, they never showed it. On the contrary, making good use of every element available in each instance was their consistent belief, and this spirit was one of the reasons why they were superior to their peers.
After spending a long time with Nai Dali and developing a strong bond with her, they tested her with a question that surprised them both.
In the anime adaptation of Akame ga Kill!, many aspects of the story weren't explored in depth. For example, the Imperial Fist Temple wasn't thoroughly investigated. As for the manga, although it mentions in the setting that the Imperial Fist Temple appears large overall but is actually weak...
However, they are not ordinary students who know the secrets of the dungeons in the cycle of reincarnation. Naturally, they will not believe everything in the original text, especially since an unexpected event occurred at the very beginning of this exchange competition. Therefore, it is possible that some modifications will be made to this dungeon.
And this Naidali is very likely a product of the system's modification, with altered rules and restrictions. He is a hidden powerhouse. Even if his full strength has not been tested, they have reason to believe that Naidali is much stronger than Esdeath.
This is a monster who has mastered his body to an extreme degree, even surprising the Refinement of Life.
