These move nas, which seemingly lack any desire to be ridiculed, made Chen Mu feel threatened for the first ti.
In his true sense of combat, there was only one previous encounter, the one with He Ying when they first t. Back then, He Ying didn't have much fighting spirit, and Chen Mu won quite easily.
But Yang Bu'an, although a bit reckless, had a wealth of combat experience. Even under Chen Mu's constant pressure, he still seed at ease.
This was not difficult to understand.
As a prominent force under the Qing Tablet, they would undoubtedly organize targeted training for the ability users, especially for soone like Yang Bu'an with trendous potential. There must be people helping him analyze various strengths and weaknesses of his abilities. It was evident that relying on simple close-range attacks would not be enough to defeat him.
Furthermore...
From the situation just now, it was clear that this guy's ability was not rely launching projectiles.
However, given the current circumstances, he still only had the option of rapidly approaching.
All these thoughts flashed through Chen Mu's mind as he rolled on the ground. Hence, in the eyes of Yang Bu'an and the others, Chen Mu's tumbling and evasive actions hadn't finished yet when he had already darted towards them again.
"Five Stars Radiant Brilliance Secret Technique!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the stones flew once more.
One aid straight at his face, two flew past him on either side just like the previous ti, and the remaining two followed the sa path and shot towards him.
Chen Mu sowhat understood his tactics, but he still didn't have a good solution.
The last ti, it was a desperate instinct that saved him, and now there were even more stones. He had no confidence that it would work again.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
After successfully blocking the stones in front of him, he quickly turned around.
Clang! Clang!
The stainless steel, lightened by Lu Shanshan's ability, operated twice as fast as before, especially in such a critical mont of battle. The high-speed capturing ability endowed by ntal power allowed Chen Mu to barely block the two stones shot from behind.
Yang Bu'an burst into laughter. "Not bad, not bad. An opponent like this is worthy of a showdown with . You must be wondering why the stones are coming from behind."
"Please enlighten ."
Due to the turn, Chen Mu's forward progress ca to a complete halt, and their distance now was only one-third of what it was at the beginning. Feeling wary, Chen Mu stopped and, in conjunction with the young man's question, began to think of a counterasure.
Yang Bu'an had a triumphant look on his face.
Having soone play along as a straight man was just perfect.
"My ability is indeed about imparting vectors to objects, but this imparting can be passed on," Yang Bu'an explained.
"Passed on?" Chen Mu displayed a well-tid expression of confusion and respectfully clasped his fists, saying, "I'd like to hear the details."
He Ying covered her face from behind.
Yang Bu'an almost wanted to co up and give Chen Mu a kiss; he had never encountered soone who could match his pretentiousness so well.
"The so-called passing on is quite simple. Once the stone leaves my control, it is no longer under my influence. However, it can serve as a dium to transfer the new vector to the next object it touches.
"For instance, just now, although the first stone had already left my control, the second stone imparted a new vector to it, which allowed it to fly back. Do you understand?"
"Mm-hmm," Chen Mu nodded and continued, "So you an that your second stone, upon colliding with the first one, changed its vector to the opposite direction?"
"Smart!" Yang Bu'an looked pleased.
"Here's another question," Chen Mu continued, "If that's the case, couldn't you keep passing on indefinitely? Also, can your first stone affect the second one in return?"
"Great question!" Yang Bu'an was ecstatic, completely ignoring the signals Zhao Tong desperately sent him through gestures, and laughed, "That would involve multiple transfers and mutual transmissions, but I haven't mastered that skill yet."
"aning, a single and forward transmission is already your limit?"
"Exactly, if I can make a breakthrough in these two aspects, I will undoubtedly be one step closer to being the strongest ability user!"
Yang Bu'an stood tall with his head held high, as if he could already see himself standing at the pinnacle of the world.
He Ying was almost dumbfounded; was it really okay to reveal his cards so easily to his opponent?
Zhao Tong seed helpless, but in the end, he didn't speak up to stop him.
After Chen Mu listened, he suddenly made a look of enlightennt but, in the next mont, he rushed forward.
Yang Bu'an only reacted at this ti and exclaid, "You're so despicable, tricking into revealing my weakness!"
Zhao Tong was speechless, silently squatting down and drawing circles.
He Ying didn't know why, but she felt a bit sympathetic towards Yang Bu'an. For a brief mont, she actually hoped that Chen Mu would lose quickly.
Yang Bu'an gritted his teeth, "Hmph, you think this will make you win against ? Naive!"
At this mont, this guy finally looked like he was ready for a real fight. He reached into the pockets on both sides of his pants, and when he took his hands out again, the gaps between his fingers were filled with stones.
Then, he held his hands out in front of him, palms extended, as if he was about to unleash a burst of energy.
"Let show you my ultimate move, the 'Ten Stars Illuminating the World'!"
Chen Mu's heart sank. It seed like he had really pushed this guy to the brink.
The number of stones had doubled again.
And as they got closer, the ti he had to react beca even shorter. At this point, there was only one way to go: face the challenge head-on. Besides going all out, there was no other path left.
Ultimate moves were truly deserving of their na.
Even with Chen Mu's ntal power, it was challenging to clearly capture the rapidly shooting stones, especially with multiple projectiles bouncing back and forth from various directions. Trying to use his shield or dodge beca a struggle, as he couldn't manage both effectively.
At the critical mont, Chen Mu's mind was extraordinarily clear.
In the next mont...
The shield in his hand suddenly retracted and rapidly transford into a fluid at an imperceptible speed, crawling all over his body.
In just a mont, a thin iron armor covered his entire torso and vital areas, with his arms and thighs still exposed, resembling a tallic one-piece swimsuit. At the sa ti, the plastic helt on his head also served as protection.
Bang!
Thud!
Smack!
A series of sounds echoed around Chen Mu.
One stone hit his helt, another struck his back, two hit his chest, and one hit his lower leg.
The force of the stones was not insignificant, but it wasn't overly powerful either.
The protection on his head and body was sufficient, so he barely suffered any harm. However, the stone hitting his lower leg landed directly on the flesh, causing intense pain.
Chen Mu wasn't a body-enhancer after all, and this impact was enough to make him suffer. Additionally, being struck on his leg while sprinting at full speed caused him to lose his balance.
Fortunately, he was just a few steps away from Yang Bu'an. As he was about to fall, he exerted force with one leg, lunged forward, and charged ahead.
Yang Bu'an was clearly uncomfortable with such a close distance. After using his ultimate move, he couldn't react in ti for the next step. He had thought that this attack would knock Chen Mu down, but it turned out to be different from what he had expected.
Chen Mu collided with him head-on.
Both of them tumbled on the ground together.
When the two figures separated and He Ying and Zhao Tong approached together, they noticed sothing unexpected.
Chen Mu was already sitting up, panting.
As for Yang Bu'an, his hands and feet were tied up securely, lying on the ground in a sowhat charming posture.
