#564 - Chapter 562: Riot Thunder
“Qi, bro, Master Qi, Ancestor Qi, please don't hit me anymore, okay? I'll never secretly curse you behind your back again.”
“No, no, I'm helping you awaken your Observation Haki. Don't you want my wide-range perception?”
“If it means getting beaten, then no.”
“No way, you can't say no! You need to learn it quickly so you can stand guard in the future.”
Tan Zuoyin and her three roommates watched as Qi Jing chased Yan Cheng with a wooden stick. Wu Tianxin widened her eyes and asked:
“Xiaoyinyin, why is your husband bullying Xiaoxiao's husband?”
Tan Zuoyin shook her head and explained:
“No, no, no, he's helping him activate the potential power of the Flame-Flame Fruit. He might gain wide-range perception, or he might gain the ability to strike elemental forms and increase his attack power.”
Xiao Fifteen secretly glanced at Yan Cheng yesterday using some unknown clone and discovered that he indeed possessed the mysterious particles of Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
Therefore, he concluded that Yan Cheng could awaken these two abilities.
According to the original work, the way to awaken these two abilities is to get beaten. If you can dodge, you can train Observation Haki; if you can't dodge, you train Armament Haki.
That's why Qi Jing is chasing Yan Cheng today for "training."
After Tan Zuoyin explained all this to the three of them, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded:
“I see. Then Yan-ge needs to get beaten more.”
“Xiaoxiao, you're really not worried about your husband getting beaten? If it were my husband, my heart would ache terribly.”
Hearing Wu Tianxin's words, Bai Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and said seriously:
“You wouldn't understand. Single dogs can't understand this feeling. They only imagine what they would do after having a partner, but most of it is wrong.”
“Xiaoxiao, you've changed! You don't love me anymore after being tricked by that dog Yan Cheng! Don't stop me, I'm going to kill him!”
I should have never agreed to be Yan Cheng's wingman.
I lost a dear sister, but he gained a girlfriend. It's a huge loss!
Why did I agree to him in the first place?
Did my brain get eaten by bugs?!
Wu Tianxin pretended to stand up, exaggeratedly swinging her arms a few times, but found no sound behind her.
She turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao:
“Why aren't you stopping me?”
This drama queen.
Tan Zuoyin stood up and helped Wu Tianxin sit down:
“She's actually hoping you'll beat up Yan Cheng right now. Me too, so you can take over Fang Sheng's job.”
“You two are terrible! Showing affection dies quickly, you know? Xiaotaotao is the best. Xiaotaotao, promise me, don't find those stinky men, don't betray our sisterhood.”
Xia Tao, whose arm was grabbed by Wu Tianxin, made a barely audible sound from her nose:
“Mmm.”
“Help! Xiaoxiao, save me!”
Yan Cheng, who was being chased, finally found their table and directly called his wife to the rescue.
But when he saw Bai Xiaoxiao not moving, he knew he had to ask someone else for help:
“Zhayin, Qi Jing is crazy, save me!”
“Yan Cheng, keep your voice down. No one can save you.”
Qi Jing whispered behind him like a demon, holding a stick in his left hand and a love magic wand in his right.
Hitting while healing.
Leaving no scars (evidence).
“Old Yan, you have a Painless Armband, what are you afraid of? I'm helping you, doing it for your own good. Don't you feel your perception getting stronger?”
“No, it's useless.”
“Okay, we'll have to increase the training volume in the future. I'll let you off for today's noon.”
“Let me off? You're still saying you're not venting your anger?”
Yan Cheng covered his butt with a wronged expression.
Qi Jing chuckled:
“How could someone as easygoing as me do something as tasteless as venting anger? If I were venting anger, I would definitely say it directly. I don't have much else, but I'm honest.”
Bai Xiaoxiao conjured a paper chair for each of them: “Can you two be quiet? Your voices are louder than the competition.”
“Who's competing? What the…? Old Gou!”
Only then did Qi Jing realize that his good brother, Gou Yigou, was on the stage.
He sat down on the chair and took out his phone to check the information about the competition.
Due to the interconnection of the seven campuses, everyone had more detailed information about the contestants online.
Mainly to help everyone familiarize themselves with each other, bring better battles, and find more suitable teammates.
Soon, he found the details of the battle.
Gou Yigou of the Animal Society versus Huo Zecheng of the Thunder Shrine, a sacred 1v1 duel between two first-year students.
Because Gou Yigou hasn't had many matches, the online information believes his ability is "Werewolf."
But the information about Huo Zecheng on the other side is accurate.
Ability "Riot Lightning," which can summon lightning within thirty centimeters of the body, with extremely high temperature, super high voltage, and terrifying destructive power.
But it has a drawback:
He himself is afraid of lightning.
This leads to the fact that every time he uses his ability, unless there are enemies or metal closer to him, he will be electrocuted first.
If his ability hadn't given him a little immunity, he would have turned to ashes the first time he used Riot Lightning.
Although he also lay in bed for a week...
Someone online has proposed a solution to this problem.
That is to find an insulator, wrap a metal long rod, to form a handheld electric baton, and use this method to conduct the lightning to the opponent, lengthening their attack distance.
However, due to the high destructive nature of this ability, all current insulators can't last for more than a few seconds.
As a result, he has developed a body of close combat skills, electrocuting opponents at the extreme distance of thirty centimeters every time.
Yan Cheng, who had also leaned in beside Qi Jing's head to read the information, sighed:
“Wouldn't any gun easily kill him?”
“Old Gou is looking for teammates, he won't use this method to fight.”
Qi Jing knew Gou Yigou's character.
Serious, motivated, polite, responsible, patient, principled, and very approachable, everything is good except for being a little impatient with himself.
Grandpa Gou Dehao's upbringing was very successful.
Unlike himself, a lazy person.
If it were him, he would definitely give his opponent the most basic respect, not win for the sake of winning.
Even if he knew he would lose, he would definitely clash with the opponent.
Moreover, who said he couldn't beat someone without guns?
“The competition begins!”
After Gou Yigou entered the arena, he politely greeted the opponent first, and then decisively chose to transform into a demi-human form.
A werewolf with silver-white hair, no, a dog-person stood on the field.
Huo Zecheng also returned a salute and said:
“Come on!”
He knew that the opponent would only come on stage as a werewolf, so he was confident in winning.
Even if his speed wasn't as fast, even if his strength wasn't as great.
But, as long as he used all his strength to electrocute him the moment he approached, he would definitely win!
“Come on.”
“Begin!”
