Chapter 53: A Hair's Breadth Escape

  [Strongly recommended during this period, today's second update]

  "What? You're not interested?" Officer Xi Hong found it strange. If such a thing happened to someone else, they would at least jump up and cheer, but Lei Yu looked very calm and didn't seem particularly excited.

  "Interested! Of course, I'm interested!" Lei Yu also found that his expression was a bit too stiff, and he hastily opened the box. "It's just that I didn't have time to appreciate it earlier, thank you, Uncle Shangguan!" Pretending to be pleased, Lei Yu gently opened the box, revealing a blue, chicken-egg-sized bead that was completely transparent. It looked unusually beautiful, and one could feel its effects - being close to this Lingzhu indeed had the effect of purifying the air, as described by Shangguan Xihong, making even the surrounding air cleaner.

  Lei Yu's expression was what Upper Official Xi Hong was pleased to see, and his purpose was just to reward Lei Yu? No, it wouldn't be that simple. On the day of the final showdown between Lei Yu and Cai Zhong, although both were covered in thick black smoke, how could this super strong man not have seen Lei Yu's performance? It was clear that there was an uncontrollable power within Lei Yu's body, and once it erupted, it would be impossible for anyone to control.

  Such a good seedling, if not left in Wuzong but used by others, would be a great loss. Therefore, the superior Xihong thought of this play, but his abacus was wrong, and Lei Yu's face had to thank him thousands of times. In fact, such things are just redundant for him, and one of the effects of the Longsheng Lingzhu is much stronger than this Lingshui Pearl. However, since it has been obtained, whether it is given to Nu Hu or apprentice Liu Hao, it is a good thing.

  "Enough said, let's get started!" Nuo Yilong said to Lei Yu, withdrawing his admiring gaze.

  "Hmm!" The two of them walked towards the railing in the direction of Nuo Hu and Liu Hao. Nuo Yi Long jumped up from the third floor of the small building, landing on the edge of the playground, and then walked slowly towards the center.

  "Brother, help me get this." Lei Yu handed the spiritual energy bead to Nuo Hu, whose hand involuntarily trembled. Such a rare treasure, and Lei Yu was so casual about leaving it with him? It seemed that Nuo Hu had too much trust in his sworn brother. This made Nuo Hu feel deeply moved; at least in his heart, he knew that Lei Yu completely trusted him.

  With a light leap, Lei Yu also jumped down.

  Two people stood in the center of the playground and began to take their respective stances.

  Nuo Yilong's aura has risen, carrying a powerful breath, and the surrounding air is even distorted. If this explosive power were to be released, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it could destroy a large building.

  Facing such an opponent, Lei Yu didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. The surging purple true energy inside his body accompanied by the faint crackling of lightning flashes rose up all over his entire body. This time, Lei Yu was going to thoroughly display his new abilities.

  According to the explanation in the Heart Method Formula, after reaching the Transparent Body stage, one's own attacks not only carry lightning effects but can also release this lightning to achieve extended attack purposes.

  And the power is even stronger than before, and the powerful power contained in the newly obtained true energy can be seen.

  The match is about to begin, everyone holds their breath, eyes fixed on the two people on the field, afraid of missing a single detail.

  Lei Yu changed his usual habit of using stillness to control movement, and took the lead in taking a step forward. The person standing opposite him was no longer an opponent with similar strength to himself, but rather a powerful fifth-stage cultivator. If he waited for the other party to take the initiative to attack, he might not even be able to defend against it, let alone find an opportunity to counterattack.

  Lei Yu's speed was extremely fast, with a few flashes of his feet, he arrived in front of Nuoyilong like lightning, and the two simultaneously threw punches at each other.

  "Hong, hong"

  A fist whizzing by brought up waves of wild wind, the two fists clashed to the extreme, bringing up fragments of starlight ripples. This was Nuo Yilong exerting his strength to dissolve the numbness brought by Lei Yu.

  As the number of collisions increased, the look of surprise on Nuo Yilong's face became more and more apparent. Lei Yu's attack speed was incredibly fast, with each punch landing in an instant, almost without pause, and a second attack would follow immediately. For a time, Nuo Yilong could only focus on defense and had no chance to counterattack.

  "This young man indeed has great potential!" Upper Official Xi Hong thought to himself, nodding his head repeatedly. It seems that some investment has yielded a pretty good seedling, worth it.

  On the field, Lei Yu's left fist charged forward, and his leg shadow had already reached Nuo Yilong's lower abdomen. The leg shadow, like lightning, was repelled by Nuo Yilong's palm as it approached him. Both of them felt a numbness spreading through their bodies - Nuo Yilong due to the electric power contained in Lei Yu's legs, and Lei Yu because he had been slapped so hard that his skin was numbed. "Ah!" Nuo Yilong shouted, his foot chopping at the ground, causing it to shake violently. His eyes turned red as he leapt into the air, rapidly retreating in the opposite direction. He couldn't continue fighting Lei Yu like this; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to find an opening to counterattack.

  With a loud thud, both hands slammed onto the ground, executing a beautiful aerial flip, and landed ten steps away.

  Pong!

  Lei Yu's fist was clenched again, and he charged at lightning speed once more. However, this time, Nuo Yi Long would not give Lei Yu another chance. A surge of yellow true energy burst forth, and Nuo Yi Long's face turned bright red as he used his waist as the center, with his back foot as support, twisted his hips, and transmitted almost all his strength to his right fist. His entire right arm's muscles bulged, and his veins popped out like granite with floral patterns. The speed was also extremely fast, following a straight line, striking towards Lei Yu who was charging at him. "Ah!"

  Such a terrible blow, Lei Yu was caught off guard and could only barely withstand the impact. If this punch had really landed on his head, he would have undoubtedly lost all ability to fight!

  The situation was critical, and Lei Yu couldn't care about too much. He poured his true energy into his right arm, and suddenly felt a surge of swelling in his right arm. "Ah!" he shouted loudly, charging towards Nuo Yilong with a powerful punch filled with thunderous energy. Just then, Nuo Yilong's fist slightly deviated, avoiding collision with Lei Yu's fist, and cleverly moved half an inch to the left. If Lei Yu continued to charge forward, Nuo Yilong's fist would have reached Lei Yu's head first. Due to his physical build being more robust than Lei Yu, the latter's arm length was no match for Nuo Yilong. Seeing this tiny detail decided that Nuo Yilong would easily win this time.

  In the moment that decided victory or defeat, everything suddenly changed. A purple thread flashed before No One's eyes and disappeared in an instant. The next moment, his fist unconsciously drew back, tightly covering his own eyes, but it seemed like everything was already too late.
