Chapter 106 - 101: Red Falcon King

Chapter 106: Chapter 101: Red Falcon King

Without warning, the Red Falcon King’s wings vibrated, tearing the air apart and forming a sonic boom cloud that slowly rose from Chen Qi’s palm.

BOOM! A thunderclap erupted inside the office.

BANG! BANG! BANG! Within a hundred-meter radius, every piece of glass shattered.

The moment they heard the thunder, all five members of the Hummingbird Squad shuddered, nearly collapsing to the floor.

’It’s over! The Red Falcon King is going berserk!’

If not for the last shred of their professionalism holding them up, the five of them would have already dived under the desks.

Ironically, the only one who remained eerily calm was Taruno.

Frankly, everything had happened so suddenly that, aside from being startled, the man had no idea what was actually going on.

...

RUMBLE RUMBLE!

The thunderous sound reverberated throughout the office, never ceasing for a moment.

The shockwaves vibrating through the air were so dense that every object began to tremble along with them.

’What’s going on? Didn’t the Red Falcon King fly away?’

’Why does it sound like a fighter jet is roaring inside the office?’

Although they knew it was certainly too late, Leiteri and the others still drew their weapons out of habit.

But what they found unbelievable was that the Red Falcon King was somehow still inside the office.

’The boss is as mighty as ever! How could a mere little bird escape your grasp?’

Taruno’s fawning praise arrived right on cue. Then, Leiteri and the others had their worldviews completely shattered.

They discovered, to their horror, that the Red Falcon King had been unable to fly out of their boss’s palm this entire time.

Layer after layer of sonic boom clouds rose from their boss’s hand—the result of the Red Falcon King desperately beating its wings.

What in the world was happening?

How was the boss doing this?

...

What Taruno and the others were seeing was only what was happening on the physical plane.

On a level they could not perceive, the battle between Chen Qi and the Red Falcon King had already begun.

Let’s rewind a few seconds, to when the Red Falcon King first opened its adorably dopey little eyes and locked gazes with Chen Qi.

And that single glance had already sealed its fate.

If the Red Falcon King were to write its memoirs in the future, it would surely tell its descendants to never look a human directly in the eye.

...

The eyes are known as the windows to the soul, and they are also the primary means by which many life forms perceive the world.

When eyes meet, especially at such a close distance, it is inevitable that the Spirituality of both parties will make contact.

If the Red Falcon King had been looking at an ordinary person, or even an apprentice, nothing would have happened.

Throughout history, the Red Falcon King had used this same dopey stare to steal the eyes of countless humans.

But Chen Qi was different. He was a Transcendent who had already gained complete control over his own Spirituality.

The instant the Red Falcon King’s gaze met his, Chen Qi captured its Spirituality.

Then, just as he had captured the Spirituality of the Card, two parallel lines that should never have crossed intersected.

The Spirituality of Chen Qi and the Red Falcon King collided and influenced one another.

"32.7."

This was the Red Falcon King’s Spirituality frequency, a secret that not even the Red Falcon King itself knew.

As long as Spirituality exists, it is bound to have a frequency.

The same is true for life forms that have not gone through an Awakening; they are simply unable to perceive and lock onto it themselves.

But for Chen Qi, whose Spirituality was more than 7 points higher, locking onto the Red Falcon King’s frequency was not a difficult task.

Especially since this creature was ignorant and clueless, completely unable to control its own Spirituality.

’You poor little thing. You’ve already lost!’

Chen Qi’s Spirituality poured out in full force, completely enveloping the Red Falcon King’s Spirituality.

40.5 vs. 32.7

’The advantage is all mine. There’s no way I can lose, no matter how recklessly I play.’

At that moment, Chen Qi was like a peerless expert storming a kindergarten with a college entrance exam’s answer key—he was without an equal!

...

From the Red Falcon King’s perspective, it was in the middle of a pleasant dream when suddenly, some vile commoner dared to touch the crown of this Big King.

It opened its eyes and saw, as expected, those damned two-legged beasts again.

These creatures were truly detestable. Ever since the time of its ancestors, they had been constantly harassing the Red Falcon clan.

Truly hateful.

In its past, it had already taught these two-legged beasts a lesson hundreds of times, and this time would be no exception.

’Keep staring at me, and I’ll eat your eyeballs!’

Having made up its mind, the Red Falcon King looked at the two-legged beast with pity in its dopey little eyes. ’What a big oaf.’

The next instant, it beat its wings.

The air shattered, and layers of sonic boom clouds spread out from its wings.

The Red Falcon King felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration. It loved nothing more than ambushing those slow-moving creatures.

Especially these two-legged beasts. Often, it would be long gone before their screams even reached its ears.

Sometimes, it got too excited and flew so fast that it would leave their screams completely behind.

’Huh? That’s strange. I’ve been lost in thought for so long, why haven’t I heard the two-legged beast’s scream yet?’

The Red Falcon King belatedly realized that the two-legged beast had grown larger—it had become even more massive than its own mountain cliff.

And the distance between it and the two-legged beast was somehow being stretched out infinitely.

...

In the Red Falcon King’s eyes, Chen Qi had transformed into a colossal mountain that reached for the heavens.

Its eyes alone were comparable to the sun and moon in the sky.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The Heaven-Reaching Giant let out a soft breath, but in the Red Falcon King’s eyes, it was a sky-spanning gale roaring toward it.

The gale was so violent and ferocious that the Red Falcon King couldn’t help but recall a terrifying storm it had once encountered at sea.

That was the kind of power that could reduce everything in the world to dust. If it were caught in it, death would be certain.

And so the Red Falcon King beat its wings ever more desperately, hoping to escape the howling hurricane.
