Chapter 449: Heimlich Maneuver? Useless!
Anyone with an observant eye could tell that Cheng Tian's stride, timing of release, and energy fluctuations were all very unpracticed, but this was indeed Psycho Teleportation.
Which means... he learned it just by witnessing it once while fighting that world-class idol?
A group of people looked with uncertainty at Cheng, who had already distanced himself and was watching the self-detonation of Sie Kensou's Psycho Power while embracing his chest.
Among them, Chin Gentsai, the old man who had taught two psychic disciples, had the sharpest eyes; others only guessed, but for him, it was a definite answer.
"This man, Aoko, is quite interesting. He possesses a rich foundation of psychic energy but might not have found a specific direction to use it in a hurry. However, he can immediately grasp and apply it once he sees someone with similar abilities."
The old man said slowly, glancing at Athena, who had already woken up beside him, actively dismissed the surrounding nurses, and was now curled up, clutching her lower abdomen, glaring resentfully at Cheng.
"That's really my Psycho Teleportation?"
Athena's cute mouth was agape, wide enough to fit a goose egg.
"It's his now ~"
The old man was merciless towards his disciple.
"Master, you're so annoying! When we go back, I'm going to hide all your wine jars!"
Athena said, pouting.
The old man was indeed the master of the two youngsters, but years ago, the financial power of the three master and disciples had already fallen into the hands of her, the world's number one idol. All their expenses came from her.
This situation, where he was close to the source of money and essentially freeloading, was also the main reason why Sie Kensou was constantly berated by his anti-fans.
"Oh my little ancestor! No!"
The old man, who was addicted to alcohol, immediately panicked.
As the saying goes, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. The wine the old man drank had improved over time due to his female disciple's rising fame. While he claimed not to want the three of them to be easily corrupted by material things, some things inevitably changed, such as his pickiness about wine.
If those good wines were hidden, and he was forced to drink inferior wines with fusel alcohol, wouldn't that be the end of him?
The bickering between master and disciple below the stage formed a stark contrast with Kensou's self-detonation on stage.
It wasn't that the male disciple had no status, but rather that this act of self-harm, which would be quite severe for most people, was not unbearable for Kensou.
Moreover, compared to other fighters, Kensou had a very special ability, which was the origin of his nickname, "Bun Man."
After exploding seven times on the ground, Sie Kensou struggled to pull out a steaming meat bun from his embrace. He swallowed it whole in one gulp, and his health bar, which had dropped by at least half due to the self-detonation, visibly and rapidly recovered nearly a sixth of his total health—
Eating Buns (Meat Bun Consumption).
However, Cheng, who was ten meters away, just quietly watched Sie Kensou stuff the bun into his mouth... and then, in just a few seconds, Kensou's face turned ashen.
He choked!
And the one-sixth of his health bar he had just recovered also plummeted along with his ashen face.
A small tip: when Sie Kensou eats a bun, the effect representing 'Dragon Spirit Burst (Power Up)' on him has not yet ended. In this state, all regular special moves automatically transform into super special moves. And 'Eating Meat Bun,' temporarily promoted to a super special move, while having rapid healing properties, also has a chance to cause choking and deduct all recently recovered health.
It was precisely because Cheng Tian knew this probability was not small that he did not interfere with his bun-eating behavior, and he was also savoring his Psycho Teleportation.
In the description of his 'Mental Power Combat Origin,' a new derivative skill description had conspicuously appeared.
[Psycho Teleportation: Active skill, derivative technique of Mental Power Combat. One of the psychic energy usage methods successfully imitated by observing Athena Asamiya's 'Psycho Teleportation.'
Constructs a temporary spatial channel with psychic energy, achieving the effect of instantaneously teleporting oneself to another point in space.
Your theoretical maximum Psycho Teleportation range is 5 kilometers (limit of mental scan range); for every 1 meter you move, 10 MP is consumed, and a 1-second skill cooldown is incurred; you can currently only use Psycho Teleportation on yourself.]
[Additional tip: Since this ability is a self-imitated and developed derivative ability of Mental Power Combat, the skill itself still has room for refinement and strengthening through self-practice. At that time, relevant data effects will also change accordingly.]
Compared to the ease of seasoned powerhouses, Cheng Tian was clearly too naive and unpracticed. A mere 10-meter movement distance directly cost him 100 MP, and the teleportation also entered a 10-second cooldown.
However, this was purely due to his low skill level and excessively high energy loss rate. According to the additional tip, as his proficiency increases, the related losses will inevitably decrease.
Also, it's worth mentioning that Cheng Tian's learning ability is actually very strong, even surpassing the Dio Brando template loaded onto him to some extent.
The greatest proof of this is that The World's growth potential evolved from rank B when it followed Dio in the original work to rank A.
And now, Cheng Tian himself had realized this and somewhat regretted letting Athena exit too quickly. If he could have enticed her to repeatedly unleash more psychic techniques, perhaps... Cheng Tian, whose mind had already spun through a series of thoughts, looked at Sie Kensou, who was still struggling on the ground and desperately needed the Heimlich maneuver. After his eyes darted around, he unleashed The World, and in Kensou's nearly dying gaze, punched him in the chest.
Unlike the beautiful idol girls, whose farts, in the eyes of their fans, smelled of fresh peach blossoms, the Bun Man spewed out a pile of visually-censored pixelated vomit.
He then gasped for fresh air, like a drowning person who had just reached shore.
"Damn it! It was a pizza bun!"
Sie Kensou, who had almost choked to death on his own bun, looked at the pixelated mess on the ground with a look of lingering shock. Based on the shape of the pixels and the taste lingering in his mouth, he determined that what he had just forcibly swallowed was not a meat bun, but a pizza bun.
No wonder it was so hard to swallow.
In a country where carbonated explosion foods like yakisoba bread exist, buns with pizza filling are nothing new.
"I... I won't go easy on you just because of this!"
Sie Kensou, with a complicated expression, was still trying to sound tough.
Cheng Tian, being annoying, directly pinched his nose and fanned the air.
And then there was no 'then'.
Sie Kensou, whose strongest MAX Psycho Power had only been used for a failed self-detonation, completely became Cheng's toy.
After having all his psychic-related techniques drained and realizing that he had no chance of touching Cheng Tian again, Sie Kensou and Cheng Tian exchanged a look that only men understood. He then deliberately slammed his head into The World's fist, pretending to pass out with a large bump on his head.
"Winner! Aoko!"
