Chapter 511: Talent Fully Unleashed, Prodigy Severely Injured!

CRASH!

CRASH!!

Crushed stones and bricks slid and rolled across the ground, revealing a bloodstained figure staggering to his feet. A faint mist of blood drifted through the ruins, blending with the surrounding dust and smoke.

Yue Zhenhong and the others snapped back to reality, looking over with pleasant surprise. But soon, upon seeing his condition clearly, their faces paled in horror.

The figure in their line of sight appeared rather weak. His bronze chest and abdomen were nearly pierced through. Flesh was torn, and his sternum was shattered. Around the wound were charred, melted marks, as if some foreign power had invaded his flesh. Streams of fresh blood trickled down the sculpted lines of his muscles, staining the ground and the surrounding concrete debris red.

Such an injury would have been a near-fatal blow to any other Transcendence Level Martial Artist, leaving them completely unable to hold on.

RUSTLE…

However, a faint sound echoed. Shockingly, he straightened his back amid the ruins, gradually steadying his center of gravity.

“You…” The Silver-armored Man furrowed his brows, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. He was extremely confident in his previous strike. It packed enough terrifying power to rival a Non-human Level expert, more than enough to put any Transcendence Level expert down for good. And yet…

“Is this the weaponry of the Klar Civilization?” Lu Chao asked calmly as the blood mist around him gradually dissipated.

Faint white steam spewed from his pores. To the naked eye, the massive wound on his chest and abdomen began to sprout granulation tissue, every inch of flesh writhing and healing.

[Resilient Body] had been activated. The Biological Energy within every single cell was actively mobilized, flowing from his limbs and bones into his chest and abdomen to repair his torn flesh at an astonishing speed.

This scene left Yue Zhenhong and the others dumbfounded once again. Even the Peak Transcendence Level expert in the hovercar high above was visibly moved. The confident and arrogant Silver-armored Man also experienced a slight change in expression, staring intently at the rapidly healing wound on Lu Chao’s torso.

“Flesh regeneration?” The Silver-armored Man’s eyes flickered with surprise and suspicion. “No… A weakened version of a flesh regeneration ability?”

He seemed to realize something. The way he looked at Lu Chao changed. Although he still gazed down with haughty arrogance, a trace of seriousness now colored his expression. Even in the vast Starry Sky, such an ability was exceptionally rare.

“You surprise me,” the Silver-armored Man said coldly. The black-gold patterns on the surface of his armor pulsed as they recharged. Wisps of blue electrical arcs materialized and coiled around him. He watched as the flesh on Lu Chao’s wound continued to knit together. Since ordinary injuries couldn’t inflict heavy damage on you, then…

SWISH!!

He vanished in a flash, charging straight at Lu Chao with lethal intent.

“Let me see how many times you can endure this!”

HUM!!

A burst of blue light erupted as he appeared right in front of Lu Chao. The ruined ground shattered and caved in once more beneath his stomping foot. His silver-armored fist blasted through the air, wreathed in blue arcs of light, aiming straight for Lu Chao’s chest and abdomen!

He intended to interrupt the healing process and inflict another devastating blow.

Seeing this, Yue Zhenhong and the others snapped back to their senses, realizing things were taking a turn for the worse. Up above, the Peak Transcendence Level expert in the hovercar also narrowed his eyes. Everyone reacted too slowly; it was impossible to intervene. And yet…

BOOM!!

In an unexpected clash of fists, Lu Chao neither dodged nor evaded, blocking the attack head-on. His left arm struck out with a Cannon Punch. The blast wave sent the rubble beneath him flying, pulverizing the bricks into dust. He firmly planted his legs into the cracks of the concrete floor, while the sweat vapor on his skin scattered in the wind.

“You seem to have forgotten something,” Lu Chao said calmly. A deafening sonic boom exploded behind him, whipping up a secondary shockwave. It was clear that the flesh wound on his chest and abdomen had already mostly healed, no longer hindering his movements.

Huh? The Silver-armored Man faltered slightly, somewhat puzzled. Before he could recover his wits…

“It’s already been five minutes,” Lu Chao said, his gaze turning profoundly deep as he quietly entered a state of pure focus.

“You…”

BOOM!!

An imposing aura erupted as Lu Chao’s energy signature violently surged by several margins. A ring of white vapor exploded between their colliding fists. An even more violent wave of energy blasted outward, instantly forcing the Silver-armored Man to slide backward.

[Warning: Target’s combat index is soaring!]

[610… 620… 650… 700 Ouhe!]

As the intelligent female AI voice rang in his ears, the Silver-armored Man’s eyes widened in alarm. As he slid back, he stared fixedly at the figure standing amidst the ruined ground. Bricks and debris were swept away by the shockwaves. The injuries on Lu Chao’s body had fully healed.

Even though he didn’t look much different from before, his soaring combat index had actually reached the Non-human Level!

BOOM!!

In that moment of distraction, the figure blurred. The ground in the distance caved in once more, shattered by a forceful stomp. The vanished Lu Chao suddenly appeared right in front of him. His bare-chested physique looked as though it was forged from bronze rebar. His swinging right fist generated a piercing screech as it slammed squarely into the man’s body.

THUMP!!

SWISH!!!

The Silver-armored Man was sent flying backward, crashing straight through five or six concrete walls. Fragments of shattered glass and pulverized bricks sprayed everywhere.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. In their line of sight, Lu Chao disappeared yet again. Leaving behind an afterimage, he materialized right beside the airborne Silver-armored Man.

WHOOSH!!

Lu Chao inhaled sharply, his chest expanding as all his energy converged into his drawn-back left arm.

The passive effect of [Barbarian] finally triggered, reaching a phase-one enhancement across all his attributes. His combat prowess soared by fifty percent above his base level. Embodying an indomitable momentum, he stomped his foot to root himself, swinging his left arm like a battleaxe!

BAM!!

A white shockwave exploded! The silver-armored figure took a devastating blow, smashing into the ground.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the stone-paved road. Lu Chao exhaled, focusing his strength, and thrust his right arm downward like a diving dragon, aiming straight for the man’s head.

CRASH!!

The ground fractured, blasting open a crater. His fist shattered the stone slabs and pierced through the rock strata, burying his entire forearm into the dirt.

He tilted his head to look. Liquid exhaust flames spewed from the elbow of the Silver-armored Man’s left arm. He had actually used this propulsion to narrowly evade Lu Chao’s fatal strike.
