Chapter 220: Chapter 219: Are You Sure This is a Speed-type Awakener (Please Subscribe)
Back to the moment before the countdown begins.
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
Although he had absolute confidence in his current strength, it was still better to be cautious.
Based on the information he had, this guy named Yang Hu’s superpower was explosion.
However, the specifics were unknown, as the option to spend points to purchase more information had disappeared.
In other words, the entire Stone City Awakened Association was openly and secretly targeting him.
Therefore, explosion could mean a physical explosion or, perhaps, a Spirit Bomb?
If it was the latter, he would be more than happy.
Because his Spirit Attribute had increased several times compared to the last battle with Guan Dexi, reaching over fifty thousand.
If the opponent used a Spirit Bomb, it would be self-destructive.
If it was the former, he had to be prepared.
His current Constitution was over six thousand points, and with the 1.5 times physical defense boost from Level 5 Invulnerability, his physical defense ability was comparable to a Martial Artist with over fifteen thousand points.
But it was still not enough.
At the moment the first countdown sound rang, he activated the Perfect Traits of Thirteen Grand Protectors’ Cross Training, Horizontal Refining Golden Body!
Physical defense immediately increased by three times again!
In other words, his current Constitution was equivalent to that of a Martial Artist with over thirty-three thousand points. Physical defense, healing ability, and endurance were all the same.
Simultaneously, he activated the Body Protection traits, using True Qi to protect the vital points of his head. At this moment, the physical defense of his head had reached forty thousand points!
After completing all this, the last countdown sound finally arrived.
And just then, a sudden change occurred!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
A series of explosions echoed through the arena. The immense roar caused some of the Awakened near the arena to collapse onto the ground in fear. If it weren’t for the protective shield around the arena, they would have been blown away.
Even those who were prepared had pale faces and trembling legs.
They could feel the ground trembling.
"Boom boom boom!"
The explosions on the arena continued.
"Hahaha!"
Yang Hu on the stage burst into laughter. His eyes were fixed tightly on Chen Fan not far away, and where his gaze landed, flames surged into the sky and smoke billowed.
He was like a bomber, dropping countless bombs on Chen Fan.
Soon, half the arena was shrouded in thick smoke from the explosions, making it impossible to see clearly.
However, the sound of explosions continued!
Inside the private room.
Watching this scene through the screen, several C-level Awakened felt a chill down their spines.
"Shouldn’t that be enough?"
The woman widened her eyes, "Unless something unexpected happened, he would have been blown to pieces long ago. If the explosions continue, there won’t even be ashes left."
"Indeed."
Even the always joking Jin Jin felt a chill.
The androgynous man said nothing, just narrowed his eyes, staring at the screen where Yang Hu was laughing.
If he were the one on stage, would he be able to dodge Yang Hu’s initial strike?
Probably not, right?
Because he relied not only on his eyes but his five senses. In other words, he could make the entire arena fall into an explosion centered around him. In such a scenario, how could the opponent dodge? They could only choose to endure it.
At that moment, Yang Hu would pinpoint their location and unleash an even more powerful explosion!
The explosions continued for nearly ten seconds before Yang Hu ceased his actions, a smile on his face.
A near thirty-second explosion would turn even more than ten High-level Fierce Beasts into ashes.
"That poor guy; he probably never expected to step onto the arena, only to be instantly blown into smithereens, not even getting a chance to strike back, right?" someone mocked under the arena.
"Exactly, now not even his ashes could be found."
"Of all people, he chose Brother Hu as his opponent. Isn’t this like lighting a lantern in a restroom, seeking death?"
"Brother Hu is incredible! I’ve heard that within thirty meters, his superpower’s might is equivalent to five or six pounds of TNT explosives! Just now, Brother Hu must have hit him at least thirty times, nearly two hundred pounds of explosives detonating directly on him."
"Tsk tsk tsk, he’s not dead yet?"
As they discussed, their gazes turned toward the direction where Chen Fan stood.
The smoke was dispersing.
A silhouette slowly emerged.
"What!"
Shouts of surprise rang out.
Many faces wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Logically, shouldn’t this newcomer be blown to pieces? How was he still standing there?
As the smoke cleared more, the silhouette appeared in everyone’s view.
Ragged looking, his clothes blown apart, especially his upper body, exposing his skin which was clearly a previous target of explosions.
His pants were also shredded, only strips of cloth fluttering in the wind.
However, that was all.
The exposed skin, muscle chunks like granite, sparkled under the light.
Not a single inch of skin was injured, not even a hair undone.
"Is that it?"
Chen Fan’s face showed a hint of disdain as he asked.
As his voice fell, everyone present was stunned, their minds blank.
What they had seen before, and now Chen Fan’s tattered clothes, all testified that Yang Hu’s attack had indeed hit him.
Thirty seconds, thirty straight seconds of explosions!
In the end, aside from his clothes being blown to bits, his body was completely unharmed?
"How is this possible!"
In the private room, even Vice President Wen Jian stood up, staring in disbelief.
This guy, didn’t die?
Not only did he not die, but he also mocked.
"How did he do it?" Jin Jin’s face changed as he looked at Wen Jian, and said: "President, didn’t he just join the association? Even if he accumulated over ten thousand points, he never left the basement. How could he buy battle armor?"
Wen Jian’s face darkened: "I’ve checked the betting odds on points; he bet all his points on himself."
"!"
Upon hearing this, the others’ jaws almost hit the floor.
Gao Yun stammered: "So he blocked all those explosions with only his body? His body strength must surpass ten thousand points, comparable to Elite-level Fierce Beasts?"
"No, no way!"
The androgynous man spoke excitedly.
Fierce Beasts might be slower, but their Constitution and Power vastly surpassed humans.
That’s why the association set ordinary human Constitution as the standard for body strength levels.
An ordinary human’s body strength is 10 points—getting hit by a handgun at close range would be fatal.
Low-level Fierce Beasts’ body strength ranges from 1-100—even a handgun could hurt them; a rifle typically has no competition.
Mid-level Fierce Beasts have body strength from 100-1000, able to withstand rifle bullets. Handguns are mere toys to these beasts.
High-level Fierce Beasts have body strength from 1000-10000, can resist machine gun bullets, and require rocket launchers or machine guns for defeat.
Ten meters away, within a hundred meters, Yang Hu’s explosion impact is at this level.
Elite-level Fierce Beasts’ body strength generally exceeds ten thousand points! Even being directly hit by a 75mm howitzer wouldn’t harm them; only a 120 or even a 150mm howitzer could inflict damage.
What they were witnessing meant this newcomer’s body strength exceeded ten thousand points, equivalent to Elite-level Fierce Beasts. Is that possible?
This isn’t possible!!!
On the arena, Yang Hu stared at Chen Fan, mouth agape, enough to swallow a basket full of eggs.
This guy?
Not dead?
This?
Needless to say, if it were him, without Tier Two Alloy Battle Armor or special items, he’d have been blown to bits.
Could it be, this guy also had battle armor? No, that’s not right! He saw him bet all his points on himself, and even if he had armor, there’s no chance to put it on!
Because he struck immediately.
"Could it be?"
He thought of one possibility, with a trace of panic flashing through his heart.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
It must be the distance, yes, it must be!
He clenched his fist; if he reduced the distance to within ten meters, every explosion would multiply its power!
And if he touched this guy’s body, humph, even an Elite-level Fierce Beast wouldn’t survive!
"Li, I don’t know what tricks you’re using, but I’m telling you, this ends now!"
He moved, instantly reducing the distance to within ten meters.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A more powerful explosion sounded.
Terrifying waves swept in all directions. If not for the surrounding protective shield, the entire underground first floor would be blown up.
Even so, many Awakened were thrown to the ground, faces pale as paper.
"Is this Brother Hu’s true power?"
"So strong, this explosion is ten times more powerful than before, right?"
"That guy won’t survive this?"
Someone gritted their teeth.
"No."
On the stage, Yang Hu’s face changed; his intuition told him this explosion didn’t hit the opponent.
At that moment, a chill crept down his back.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound echoed.
The dagger in Chen Fan’s hand shattered.
"Haha!"
Yang Hu laughed determinedly.
In a life-or-death battle, he wouldn’t be careless. Though not wearing alloy battle armor, his Protective Talisman could block ten Elite-level Fierce Beast full-force strikes and had rebound effect.
No doubt, this Li must have tried to sneak and end the fight with a dagger.
Unfortunately, not only was he unharmed, the dagger was shattered.
He turned, grabbing at Chen Fan’s head.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion sounded.
"Hit!"
In the private room, Jin Jin slapped his thigh seeing this.
He saw clearly; the explosion occurred on Li Ping’s head.
What concept is this?
An explosive that could blast a one-meter-wide, half-meter-deep hole in the ground, detonating on a head, how would it end? No need to guess.
But the screen echoed the newcomer’s voice, "I pretty much understand your power and fighting style now. You have quite a few life-saving items, sigh, pity my dagger."
"Hmph, instead of mourning your dagger, worry about whether your fate will be like it soon!" Yang Hu shouted fiercely.
Truthfully, he was a bit panicked.
Though he missed his strongest strike.
But a direct hit at such close range, couldn’t kill this guy?
This newcomer isn’t a Speed-type Awakener?
Is he not a defense type?
