Chapter 224: One Punch and Battle Qi
Looking at his reflection in the ice.
Li ng touched his smooth mask.
"Xiao Bai, this appearance looks really strange!"
"No matter how strange, it’s still better than the master showing his face."
"That’s true. But, isn’t there any magic to change my appearance?"
"There is, but it’s easy to see through."
"Alright then, strange it is."
"Master, when will you set out?"
"Let’s wait a bit longer. That human woman hasn’t co yet."
Li ng took off the mask and stood up.
"Before that, let’s go see Yue E!"
Saying this, Li ng walked out.
Leaving the throne hall, Li ng headed west.
He exited the Throne Tribe through the western gate.
"Where is the King going again?"
"Who knows!"
"The King will co back soon, right?"
"Probably… maybe."
In the dim forest, after walking a while, Li ng arrived at the riverbank.
With a leap, Li ng’s figure shot forward like a cannonball, landing steadily on the water's surface.
This ti, there was no layer of ice on the water.
Li ng stepped on the surface and sprinted.
Wherever he passed, ripples spread across the water.
In the blink of an eye, Li ng’s figure disappeared at the end of the river.
---
The Next Day, Black Mountain Marshlands.
In the afternoon, the scorching sun shone upon the land.
In the southern waters of Black Mountain.
A figure suddenly appeared on the water's surface.
"Yue E! Yue E!"
The loud voice echoed across the land and sky.
So Lizardn noticed the commotion and their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly ran back to the tribe.
Standing on the water, Li ng gazed at the endless white waters around him.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the west.
In that direction, a massive shadow moved beneath the water.
Soon, the giant shadow approached Li ng.
"Boss! Boss!"
Without any splashing, Yue E’s enormous body gently surfaced.
Her gigantic head appeared right beside Li ng.
"Boss, why did you beco so small?"
Yue E’s eyes, larger than plates, stared directly at the boss.
If not for the familiar scent from him, Yue E wouldn’t have recognized this tiny figure as her boss.
Li ng grinned and pulled off his clothes.
His body swelled visibly, growing from two ters to a towering 5.5 ters in height.
"Boss, you’re huge!"
Yue E looked at her now gigantic boss in amazent.
"How about it? Handso, right?"
Li ng struck a pose.
His muscular body was well-defined, tall, and powerful.
Picking up a package from the ground, Li ng tossed it to Yue E.
Yue E opened her mouth and swallowed the package whole.
Inside the package were not only magic crystals but also fragnts of Xiao Bai’s split body.
"Yue E, your boss will soon be heading out on a long journey. It’ll be a while before I return."
"A long journey? How long?"
"A few years, maybe. Not sure."
"Just a few years? That’s like a nap."
Hearing this, Li ng chuckled.
To a species with a long lifespan, a few years was but a blink of an eye.
As the Swamp Crocodile King, Yue E naturally had a lengthy lifespan.
"You should go out and explore too. Head to the ocean. There are plenty of magical beasts to hunt and devour. I’ve beco this strong; you can’t stay a weakling!"
"Boss, the ocean is dangerous."
Yue E shook her massive head, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
"Just don’t stray too far from the continent. Run if you encounter sothing you can’t handle."
Hesitant, Yue E nodded slightly.
"Boss, are you really that strong?"
Yue E’s question left Li ng montarily stumped.
Since he’d never faced a worthy opponent, he had no clear sense of his strength.
Although he had defeated the Fla Demon Lord and the Ghost Beastman at the Garrison Fort, neither of them posed a challenge.
From the mont the battles began, Li ng knew he wouldn’t lose.
The Fla Demon Lord and the Ghost Beastman didn’t qualify as true powerhouses—at least not in his eyes.
"I guess I’m strong. Ten of you wouldn’t be a match for ."
"I… I don’t believe it. Boss, I’m really strong!"
Although Yue E’s expression wasn’t visible, her disbelief was evident.
Li ng grinned and stretched his arms.
"Let’s test it then. Use your strongest skill to attack !"
Yue E quickly shook her massive head.
"No way! You’ll die!"
"I won’t. I’m strong."
"Then… you’d better dodge, Boss."
"No dodging. Dodging defeats the purpose."
"Then forget it, Boss. I believe you’re strong."
"Yue E, you’re no fun. Your boss doesn’t like boring people."
"I got it, Boss!"
Yue E’s massive body dove back into the water.
The enormous shadow moved away before resurfacing several hundred ters away.
"Boss, take this!"
Yue E opened her mouth, spitting out a water ball.
The water ball roared toward Li ng.
In the blink of an eye, it was upon him.
Li ng curled his lips slightly and swatted the water ball with his hand.
The resulting wave and water spray shattered the water ball.
"Yue E, is that all you’ve got?"
Angered by her boss’s mockery, Yue E roared.
"Boss, you’ve made mad!"
With a deafening roar, Yue E opened her mouth again.
Magical energy surged, forming an even larger water ball.
This ti, the water ball carried imnse magical power, sending waves rolling in its wake.
"Bring it on!"
Li ng grinned, stepping forward with his right foot.
Clenching his right fist, he threw a punch.
A powerful shockwave exploded forth.
The water ball, a hundred ters away, burst apart with a thunderous bang.
The shockwave continued, lifting a massive column of water and slamming into Yue E.
The impact flipped Yue E upside down along with the water column.
Such was the terrifying power of the Divine child's *Monster Strength* skill.
Even the force of the air stirred by his fist carried imnse destructive power.
No, that wasn’t re air—it was magical energy.
"Xiao Bai, this must be battle qi."
Li ng could feel a strange energy erupting as he threw his punch.
"Yes, Master. When did you learn to use battle qi?"
"Uh… I don’t know. It just happened."
"…"
So this was battle qi?
Li ng stared at his fist in wonder.
Though invisible, the space around his fist seed to distort.
"Xiao Bai, does battle qi have attributes?"
Li ng recalled the Sword King Carlos.
His techniques, rather than pure battle qi, resembled magic—long-range, terrain-altering attacks.
