Chapter 489: Chapter 319: Teacher An, Let Me Teach You – Part 2
An raised her head slightly, staring at Loren.
“Seems like luck isn’t on our side today…”
Loren forced a bitter smile.
Tap, tap, tap!
An glided across the shaking deck like an elegant dancer, then with her six-foot magic wand, she delivered a fierce chop!
“Chop!”
Loren’s abdomen was hit by a blast of spiritual power, causing him to vomit large amounts of blood. The excruciating pain made him drop to his knees, his fists clenched tightly.
I can’t fall, I mustn’t fall, otherwise everyone on this exploration ship…
Loren bit down on his teeth and painfully straightened his legs.
Bang!
However, accompanied by a powerful strike from the wand, Loren was knocked to the ground, blood flowing incessantly.
The sea breeze blew, and the entire Mist Sea seemed eerily silent.
Jumping from the ship into the Mist Sea was tantamount to death.
An stood on the deck, looking down at everything.
Then, her gaze shifted again, turning to Nancy, who had just climbed aboard from the depths of the sea.
“Black Hunter…”
An’s face turned a slight red, her gaze on Nancy tinged with a touch of madness.
Nancy was stunned and could only move her lips feebly in protest:
“I’m not!”
The next instant, An rushed towards Nancy with vigor.
Defenseless, Nancy instinctively bent her arm and closed her eyes.
Bang!
A crisp sound of weapons clashing rang out.
Nancy slowly opened her eyes and her pupils dilated in surprise.
The figure before her, with twelve writhing black tentacles and a dark hunter’s attire dancing in the sea breeze, was none other than the Black Hunter, paying no mind to Loren’s defeat and standing on this battlefield.
Chen Qi, blocking An’s magic wand with his longsword, cracked a slight smile:
“It’s been a while. What brings you to me, An?”
Bang!
An channeled her spiritual power, attempting to press Chen Qi down with her magic wand.
After her attempt failed, she quickly backflashed, creating distance between them.
“Phew…”
Chen Qi twirled his longsword and looked out at the great sea.
The exploration ship was now broken in two from the impact of the Mist Merchant, the damage in sight covering it in scars.
But more concerning to Chen Qi was the ‘X’ mark above An’s head.
“Not the Mist Merchant…”
Chen Qi muttered to himself.
He had assumed the ‘career mission’ target would be the Mist Merchant, but he had never imagined that the creature capable of destroying the Witch Sea would be An.
Chen Qi stroked his chin, a flash of excitement in his eyes.
Defeating An would mean completing a legendary task, and that indeed sounded quite good.
An’s spiritual power far exceeded that of ordinary people, and she had her share of unusual adventures.
As it appeared, An’s situation was far more serious than he had imagined.
The next second, An, holding her wand high as if wielding a hammer, charged forward.
“Spiral Hammer.”
Above the tip of the staff, a searing Spiral Spiritual Power Ball formed, its gravitational pull so strong that it created whirlpool waves in the surrounding sea.
Although An was a mage of just five-foot-three holding a six-foot wand, at this moment, she seemed like a giant wielding a massive hammer.
I hate close-combat mages… Chen Qi took a deep breath and softly said:
“Fen.”
“Understood!”
Fen, sitting atop the Nearshore Dominator, letting her legs dangle while enjoying the breeze, elegantly blew on her palm. The red petals, carried by the wind, gently landed on An’s tight hunter’s white pants, slicing open a trail of blood.
In an instant, a bright red flower bloomed on An’s thigh, her spiritual power became unbalanced and her life energy was continuously drained!
Chen Qi also took a deep breath and performed the Draw Sword Slash motion.
The moment An was suspended mid-air, Chen Qi drew his sword.
Draw Sword Slash. Black Wave!
The scorching Black Wave fire struck An squarely in the chest, slicing open a terrifyingly deep wound, five centimeters deep!
Pffft! Blood splattered!
With the Flower Witch present, even if An was gravely injured, she could be revived… Chen Qi sheathed his longsword.
Under the combined attack of the Witch and the Hunter, An collapsed to the ground with a thump, exhausted.
She had become even stronger… Nancy was stunned.
“Whew…”
Fen gracefully leaped down from the top of the Black Ship Sea Dragon, clapped her hands, and asked,
“Qi, shall I kill her?”
Fen tried her best to act the part of a cold-hearted Witch, vaguely remembering that An was an acquaintance of Chen Qi.
“No need.”
Chen Qi bowed his head, looking down at An lying at his feet.
“Besides, we are still far from defeating her.”
“???”
Fen tilted her head in confusion, not understanding as she looked at the fallen An.
An’s body was already bleeding profusely.
Could this Hunter really continue to fight?
However, in the next second, she sensed something was amiss.
Although An was grievously injured, her Spirit Power Field was not weakening at all; on the contrary, it was growing stronger.
“An A-rank Crack…”
Chen Qi murmured.
Watching An lying at his feet, Chen Qi couldn’t help but be reminded of many things.
An’s ascension was very different from that of ordinary Transcendents; her spiritual power origin had reached the Fourth Rank first!
It was with this strong spiritual power origin that she accepted the trial of the Disaster Messenger and ascended to a Legend.
In the original storyline, An was supposed to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Mist Merchant, and the Mist Merchant defeated An.
Yet, the moment An fell, her body’s potential was awakened, and a gate would open from within her!
In the frenzy of battle, An would eventually comprehend a whole new realm during the fight!
The Mist Merchant was merely a stepping stone for An in that fight, helping her step into a completely new realm.
But now, the original ‘stepping stone’ has shifted from the Mist Merchant to me… Chen Qi put away his complex thoughts, reminiscing about the time he first entered the great sea.
As his novice mentor, An had helped him a lot.
Now, he was no longer the frail patient from before and had become the supernova of the Mist Sea.
Chen Qi lowered his head.
After her defeat, An would reach a new realm.
Crack! Crack!
An’s limbs on the ground were disturbingly twisting and breaking! An unstoppable transformation was occurring!
The fissures of light on her body were getting more numerous.
With her head down, she remembered Maro Island, the nobles’ mockery, Chen Qi, and this battle…
She needed more power! Much stronger power!
However, the flesh could no longer bear her Spirit Power at this moment.
A question formed in her mind: how could one wield such immense, incessant Spiritual Power with a frail body?
Soon, within a Spirit Power Crack filled with energy, she heard a simple answer:
If the flesh cannot withstand the Spirit Power, then discard the flesh! To contain infinite Spirit Power!
To forsake the flesh and stand in the heavens!
At the whisper’s emergence… An’s body let out a sound akin to shattering porcelain, as if she were a finely crafted porcelain doll, her body cracking open with light.
Through the cracks, shone the white light of another world!
A massive wave of Spiritual Power instantly swept across the sea.
Within this majestic surge of Spirit Power, An slowly rose up, floating in the air, looking down at the people of the Mist Sea like a deity.
In that brief moment, everyone on the ship’s pupils dramatically contracted, their Spiritual Power in chaos.
They all felt a terrifying alert!
[You have come into contact with an A-rank Crack – a corner of the Magic Net…]
An A-rank Crack, the Magic Net… Fen’s lips moved as she raised her head to look up at the creature in the sky.
A fierce wind blew, and an unprecedented Spiritual Power Storm swept across the sea.
“Whew…”
Chen Qi took a deep breath, his mind inevitably recalling the first time he met An.
He had to admit, An had helped him a great deal; without her, his beginning would have been much more troublesome.
But after becoming a supernova, he had yet to repay An for her kindness.
Times had changed, and the two once weak individuals of Maro Town had become different.
An had become his stepping stone to ascend to ‘Legend,’ and he had become An’s stepping stone.
And in this battle, An would once again help him, becoming an essential part of his legendary path!
Teacher An, as repayment, allow this student to teach you and help you comprehend a whole new realm…
In the soaring Spiritual Power Storm, Chen Qi’s eyes blazed with the desire to battle, once again readying the Draw Sword Slash position, with all the Dark Fire Hands behind him fully extended!
