Chapter 0005: One Against Eight
One must understand that the other party is not an ordinary person; they were able to master Level 3 superpowers before the age of eighteen, truly a genius among geniuses. Moreover, among the eight individuals, it cannot be said that everyone has a background, but at least it can be confirmed that four of them are not merely high school students, as they possess weapons.
As the voice emerged, a short young boy appeared, his face covered in red tattoos, resembling a mask
Although he felt that the Luo Yang at this moment was much more formidable than the Yang Ge he was usually familiar with, he did not delve into the reasons. In his understanding, since they were brothers, unconditional trust was essential
Is there a mistake? Level 5 superpower? Even if it is merely superficial, it is still level 5! Luo Yang felt anxious: "Before my rebirth, I had only managed to elevate the imprinting to level 5. Although the potential for the other two abilities exceeds that of imprinting, they have not surpassed level 6. To encounter such a level of power right after my rebirth could very well lead to my death once more"
Blood flowed out, adding a layer of eerie crimson to the mirror's surface, making it even more solid. At the same time, four golden whirlpools in front and behind him collapsed. The timing was just right; had he been a second late, he would have fallen into an irretrievable abyss.
That is because I have developed more than one superpower. With a fist accompanying the sound, it was aimed at the temple, and with a loud "bang," it struck fiercely, leaving absolutely no chance for the opponent to survive
The tattooed face felt as if the world was spinning, and before a scream could escape, it was forever trapped in this wretched high school, the short sword changing hands in an instant
rumbling ... ...
Luo Yang was already prepared in his heart. Almost simultaneously with the appearance of the lightning, four golden vortices flashed before and behind him. These four golden vortices were formed by the power of the pineapple tree absorbed through the Star Book, belonging to the third level of super abilities, possessing extremely strong corrosive capabilities. While others could only use them for attack, he could utilize them for defense.
The thunderous roar rapidly spread, causing eight "geniuses" from Nangang to be taken aback, each revealing their trump cards to save themselves. Throughout their high school careers, they had never encountered such peril; the fact that a high school student could simultaneously reverse several types of level three superpowers was simply monstrous
Alright. Lin Tianbao stepped forward to take Zhang Xiaoman, retreating with utmost vigilance.
Luo Yang's eyes were fixed intently on the short sword drawn by the tattooed face. The moment the short sword was unsheathed, he knew trouble was imminent. This short sword was a silver-grade weapon, akin to the Starry Tome, capable of storing energy.
Clap, clap, clap. The square echoed with applause, and a hoarse voice said: "Impressive, indeed there are eight of you. It seems you have sensed my presence, so there is no need to hide any longer"
"What? How could it have escaped?" The tattooed man screamed hysterically, blood spraying from his mouth and nose, with blood even oozing from his ears. It seemed that wielding this powerful sword had a significant impact on his body
This was a decisive strike; Luo Yang had emptied all the golden radiance from the Starry Codex, and his body was nearly depleted, unable to perform another decent "imprint". However, he did not retreat but instead stepped forward.
However, the tattooed face did not witness the scene of flesh and blood splattering. A small blue vortex appeared at the center of Luoyang's brow, which, upon closer inspection, resembled a galaxy. It was this inconspicuous blue vortex that exerted a powerful effect, allowing him to evade a fatal blow, and his figure suddenly vanished.
The offensive was fierce, with milky-white light mirrors continuously shattering, transforming into specks of faint light that dissipated. However, before they shattered, they were always able to slightly reverse the incoming superpowers.
In the blink of an eye, eight individuals struck simultaneously. Two bolts of lightning reached their target first; their attributes were not consistent. The black lightning possessed a destructive power capable of obliterating the ancient and the decayed, while the red lightning exhibited an unimaginable penetrating force
Eight young men, apart from the tattooed leader, there was also the eldest brother of Lantianfang, who barely managed to withstand the fierce onslaught from earlier. The remaining six were beaten to the point of losing their composure, completely disoriented. Three of them fainted on the spot, losing their combat capability, while the other three struggled hard to regain their footing
You
In this way, the two bolts of lightning lack an important element; unrefined superpowers will exhibit poor control. Especially since this fierce method of attack appears terrifying, it is, in fact, best to exercise restraint
Hahaha, in the face of absolute power, you are but an ant. Look! The strength I have painstakingly accumulated over four years is all sealed within this short sword, and I finally reached level 5 intensity yesterday. Even if I cannot conquer Canghai High School today, I will still ensure your death. The hoarse voice of the tattooed man was filled with mockery, as if he were watching a dead person, ready to enjoy the next scene.
With a soft sound of "pop," the red lightning was extinguished. Although the black lightning ultimately gained the upper hand in their mutual clash, its diminished power was no longer sufficient to inflict harm on Luo Yang
The orange beam of light did not relent, but instead surged forward with extreme ferocity. Eighteen lush pineapple trees began to disintegrate merely from a light sweep of the orange beam, their trunks collapsing inward, carbonizing and perishing, creating a wide path measuring thirty meters on the left side of the square
The books faintly sensed a deadly threat, as the blade emitted a rhythmic orange glow, for it was a fluctuation that could only be unleashed by a level 5 superpower
This situation lasted for more than ten seconds, centered around Luo Yang's body. First, several layers of cotton-like golden radiation suddenly expanded, instantly forming a crescent-shaped shockwave that crushed the enemy. Then, all attacks directed at Luo Yang began to rebound.
Indeed! Facing the eight of you alone seems to leave me with little chance of victory. However, looking around, the students from Canghai High School have already reacted. In this situation, how confident are you in securing a win against Canghai?" Luo Yang smiled upon hearing the loud noise
It is truly astonishing how unaware you are of your own limitations, thinking that you alone can impede our progress in Nangang. I am not sure whether to commend your courage or to say that you have lost your mind. Upon seeing the six individuals arrive just in time, the elder brother of Lantian let out a quiet sigh of relief, and his expression turned stern.
The wind howled, colors surged wildly, the short sword buzzed, and a column of orange light erupted, sweeping towards Luoyang along the ground
Hehe, to have reached this level and still not know my name. Are you and the tattooed face so confident that you can survive and leave the vast sea?" Luo Yang halted his steps, as the remaining two were difficult to deal with. Preserving his relatively intact strength, and with the Starry Book no longer able to assist, he could only wait for an opportunity. He said calmly, "My name is Luo Yang, and what about you two?"
In this era, superpower potential is categorized into Bronze, Black Iron, Silver, Gold, and Blue Diamond. The levels of weapons and treasures are generally classified in a similar manner, with additional rare types of weapons and treasures that are only effective for specific groups of people. For instance, the Star Chronicle places great emphasis on the abilities of the user when conducting level classifications. As for the more advanced secret weapons, ordinary people find it difficult even to catch a glimpse of them
The tattooed man slowly drew a short sword from his waist and spoke: "Luoyang, you are a worthy opponent. However, your vision remains confined to the small sea, completely unaware of the situation before you. Even if the Canghai is not captured by our Nangang, it will still be breached by Heitan High School and Longque High School, for this place will soon become the central battleground for the three key high schools, as well as a fighting arena for dozens of families behind the scenes. Such chaotic battles occur almost every fifty years, where the strong devour the weak, gaining ample nourishment to ascend to greater heights. The entire human world follows this rule of replacing the old with the new."
Remember, my name is Lantian Zun, the fifth heir of the Lan family. Our leader's surname is Zhang, hailing from the Yunyu Zhang family. Today, your death is merely a matter of luck; each additional day you survive will only add to your fear in the future. Lantian's older brother secretly seized the time to regain his strength
In Luo Yang's eyes, the two bolts of lightning were both strong and weak, as they had not formed combat techniques at their respective levels. It was akin to the gravity crushing technique "Cannon Kick" that he used in his duel with Lan Tian, a move that had been refined through ingenious ideas and relentless practice. It infused rigid energy with soul and fighting spirit, existing entirely in a different realm of concept.
The golden vortex has not dissipated and can still provide some protective function. Luo Yang snapped his fingers to ignite a white light, which overlapped to form a milky white light mirror. Behind the ten-sided light mirror were another ten sides, rapidly increasing to a hundred sides.
The dull sounds rose and fell, just as Luo Yang mentioned, the students of Canghai High School have already reacted. After enduring a series of invasion tactics such as ambushes, massacres, and intimidation, everyone has taken a breath to launch a counterattack. Many young people have stepped forward; although their methods of fighting seem quite inexperienced, taking this step is crucial and far stronger than the history in Luo Yang's mind.
Luo Yang focused intently on the opposite side, not daring to be distracted in the slightest
"Imprint as a mirror, extreme reversal." Luo Yang silently recited, drawing the last trace of sharp silver light from the Star Book to cut through his wrist
The sound of "bang bang" was directed specifically at the temples. Whether the six individuals who were lagging behind had already fainted or were still struggling, Luo Yang rushed over to deliver additional punches. His fists were both accurate and fierce, leaving them either dead or severely injured.
In the instant when the lightning pierced the golden vortex, a delay of 0.8 seconds occurred. Luo Yang's right index finger gently flicked, causing the four vortices to become chaotic, and two bolts of lightning collided with a thunderous roar like wild horses breaking free. They actually canceled each other out, providing more time for the golden light to dissipate itself.
Take me back
What is your name? You have killed my younger brother, and the Lan family will definitely not let this go unpunished
Lan Tianfang clutched his chest, and the single word "you" caught in his throat. This was because Nangang was an invader today, having been rightfully killed by the self-defense counterattack of the vast sea. What astonished him was that the other party was definitely not on the list of key personnel to be monitored; he was a note that should not have appeared, yet he had jumped out unexpectedly. He had not even heard clearly what the name of the black-haired youth who had killed Lan Tianfang was.
To know that an increase of sixty percent is referred to as a minor chasm, which is the maximum increase achievable by bronze-level weapons. However, this purely numerical increase may be considered "very strong," but this is merely the unilateral perspective of eight individuals
At this moment, the fist takes the opportunity to display its power
"Borrowing strength to counter strength, how did he achieve this?" The eight individuals found it hard to believe, as these two bolts of lightning were enhanced by the battle equipment, with the red lightning amplified by thirty-eight percent and the black lightning boosted by as much as sixty percent
