Chapter 23 - Field of Lightning

Crackling —

Crackling —

In the center of the clearing, with Astret at the core, the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning spread out more than three meters!

The sound of thunder was as ear-piercing as a thousand birds chirping at once.

The terrifying lightning seemed to turn the area around Astret into a forbidden zone of life!

Three meters away were charred beasts, struck by electricity!

Within three meters, there was only Astret, like a master, his body enveloped in lightning...

"Indeed, relying solely on physical strength to deal with so many high-tier first-order beasts is still a bit of a stretch."

Astret raised his left hand, gazing somewhat entranced at the purple electric arcs dancing at his fingertips.

The power of an Ability is closely related to its level and its two fundamental attributes.

Although he was still only an Awakener, his 180 points of Vitality and Spirit made his Purple Firmament Divine Lightning much more powerful than when he first awakened!

It could even inflict tremendous damage on high-tier first-order beasts!

"This is an S-Class Ability, overbearing... and formidable."

Astret looked ahead.

The severe injuries and near-death state of more than a dozen beasts had attracted the attention of the Beast King here; the Bloodthirsty Bear rose from its resting state to stand upright.

Its five-meter height, coupled with its body width of over three meters, made it resemble a heavy Tank.

Imagine the oppressive feeling of a heavy Tank standing upright.

This was the scene Astret was facing.

"A rare beast, the Bloodthirsty Bear. This year's Martial Arts college entrance exam is indeed unusually difficult."

Astret licked his lips.

In Jiangnan during summer, the sunset comes a little later.

The setting sun in the sky shone on the Bloodthirsty Bear, casting a long shadow on the ground.

Because he had his back to the light, Astret couldn't clearly see the Bloodthirsty Bear's face.

But its blood-red eyes, like blood, carried a powerful sense of oppression.

Affected by this aura, the remaining dozen or so beasts, who had originally been intimidated by Astret's might and dared not advance, became rampant once again.

They crouched low, bared their fangs, and let out roars and low growls.

"This scene would be quite suitable for a horror movie."

"But when the fight starts, these small fries might be a bit troublesome."

"In that case, I'll clear the field first!"

Astret's gaze sharpened.

The Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, which had originally only been active on his body's surface, now, under his control, directly penetrated deep within his body!

Buzz —

As if injected with a powerful stimulant, Astret's body trembled violently!

Subsequently,

His clear, spirited eyes were filled with purple lightning, and at the same time, an immensely vast power surged from all his limbs and bones!

"This is the feeling!"

On Astret's sharply defined face, his smile was unrestrained and wild.

Abilities are a natural power of humans, used as freely as an arm.

Therefore, in addition to refined methods of Ability usage like Combat Technique, there are also cruder methods of application.

For example, Zhou Mingyang's wind element ability can be used casually to reduce air resistance and accelerate running speed.

Another example is his previous burst of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, which could achieve an effect similar to a powerful plasma cannon.

And this current state is also a basic application of Thunder and Lightning Abilities.

By guiding lightning into the body to stimulate all cells, one's physique can be greatly enhanced!

Previously, Astret had also tried to use the E-Class Ability, Weak Electricity, to stimulate his body, but apart from making his body numb, it had no other effect.

But now, switching to the S-Class Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, it was completely different!

Astret could feel the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning surging through his body like a river, strengthening his physique to an extremely abnormal degree!

Of course,

This was not a Technique after all.

Moreover, lightning traveling through the body is also a very dangerous thing; one careless mistake could damage the meridians.

Therefore, Astret could not maintain this state for long.

"However, it's enough to deal with you beasts."

Astret's mouth curved into a grin.

The next moment.

Lightning flashed, and his figure vanished from its original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already beside a high-tier first-order Unicorn Rhino!

Then, with his spear in hand, it cut a purplish-black trajectory through the air like lightning.

Before the Unicorn Rhino could react, a line of blood appeared on its neck.

Subsequently, the Unicorn Rhino's massive head fell to the ground with extreme smoothness.

Its skin, as hard as steel, offered no protection at all at this moment!

Pfft~~~

Blood gushed out from its neck like a fountain.

With the powerful vitality of a high-tier first-order beast, even if its abdomen was torn open, it could still move.

But losing its head left it utterly helpless.

The Unicorn Rhino's headless body thus collapsed with a crash into a pool of blood.

"Roar!!"

Seeing the Unicorn Rhino killed right in front of him, the Bloodthirsty Bear could no longer hold back.

With a furious roar, it charged at Astret.

Although the Bloodthirsty Bear was massive, its running speed was not slow; on all fours, it covered a distance of over thirty meters in the blink of an eye!

Rather than saying it was running, it was more like it was leaping!

However, the Bloodthirsty Bear's speed was fast, but Astret's speed was even faster!

Under the enhancement of the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, he transformed into a purplish-black phantom, weaving through the beast horde.

With each strike, the Black Obsidian Spear, wreathed in purple lightning, would claim the life of a beast.

'Ding~, killed a high-tier first-order Unicorn Rhino, ability points +15.'

'Ding~, killed a high-tier first-order Shadow Cat, ability points +13.'

'Ding~, killed a high-tier first-order Arm Blade Tiger, ability points +14.'

'...'

A series of system prompts continuously rang out in Astret's mind.

Accompanying this was the Bloodthirsty Bear's helpless rage, erupting because it couldn't catch Astret...

"What kind of Thunder-type Ability is this? So fierce?!"

On the rooftop, Zhou Mingyang and his group were all stunned.

"Just the Ability's burst inflicted severe, near-fatal injuries on a high-tier first-order beast.

And Astret is only an Awakener; even an A-Class Ability wouldn't be able to achieve this level of intensity, right?"

The petite girl, Meng Di, swallowed with difficulty.

Thanks to the developed internet, she had seen A-Class Thunder and Lightning Awakened.

However, even the oppressive feeling brought by those high-tier A-Class Thunder and Lightning Awakened was not as strong as the oppressive feeling Astret brought at this moment!

"Stronger than an A-Class Ability, could it be..."

Zhou Mingyang and the bald boy exchanged glances, then surprisingly said in unison: "S-Class?!"

No sooner had the words fallen than Zhou Mingyang immediately shook his head in denial:

"No, that's not right."

"If he really had an S-Class Ability, the entire Great Xia Nation would have been shaken from the day he awakened it."

"Moreover, it's hard to conceal one's Ability level nowadays."

Ability awakening is arranged uniformly by the state, and every Awakener's Ability is recorded in the national information database.

If there truly was an S-Class Ability, the state would have long since intervened to send him for elite training.

How could he still be at Jiangcheng Second High, where educational resources are scarce?

"Could it be an Ability mutation?"

The bald youth asked tentatively.

"Ability mutation?"

Zhou Mingyang pondered for a moment, then nodded, "That is indeed a possibility."

The world is vast and full of wonders.

While Ability mutations are rare, they are not unheard of.

There have been cases in the past where a D-Class Ability mutated into an A-Class Ability under accidental circumstances.

"But no matter what, after today, the entire Jiangcheng will probably be shaken by him."

Looking at the black figure below, wielding a long spear, charging through the beast horde, and clearing the field domineeringly, Zhou Mingyang's expression was incredibly complex...
