Chapter 1632 - 840: Isn't It Pretty Good Too_2

But why...

He blinked, doubting himself.

Did the Thunderbolt from the Five Floors and Twelve Cities just slow down a bit?!

In the few short seconds, Ji Jue's palms turned to ashes repeatedly and then reassembled again and again. In the end, they didn't even finish reconstructing. All that could be seen were two faint outlines of hands, futilely reaching for the lightning bolt that was just within reach.

The lightning continued forward, unfaltering in its trajectory.

But its speed inexplicably slowed ever so slightly!

Are they still holding back?!

Lou Suwen's first reaction was that Lou Yanyue showed mercy, but she would need the capability to do that!

"Lifting Heavy as Light" seems lightweight, yet it was originally heavy!

The sheer force of the Five Floors and Twelve Cities is so grand and savage. If Lou Yanyue could still manage to hold back with composure under such pressing circumstances, Lou Suwen would be laughing crookedly.

My daughter has the potential of an emperor!

But seeing Lou Yanyue's bewildered expression at the moment, clearly, that wasn't the case at all!

Then what is this?!

What's happening?

The piercing noise grew even louder, like the tearing of the world — with Circle Realm clashing against Circle Realm, two distinct forces and profoundness rubbing against each other at high frequency, causing the entire workshop to tremble faintly.

Two Circle Realm hands, after shedding flesh and carrier, were pressing firmly on the Thunderbolt.

The palms overlapped and intertwined, under dual reinforcement, triggering a qualitative change!

In countless repetitions and attempts, he finally achieved an astonishing accomplishment, truly touching the essence of the Thunderbolt!

Yet it remained unshakable!

At this moment, it's as if he held his hands on the scorching edge of a blade. No matter how tightly he grasped it, even if it tore his hands, blood dripping, the force on the blade continued advancing forcefully, unfettered, unstoppable.

Clearly, he already saw hope, but it was still so distant!

Just a little bit more, just a little bit!

Just a little bit more!

Crack—

The sound of breaking under pressure resounded from his soul, under this unprecedented pressure, Ji Jue exerted all his strength, struggling to sustain.

But inexplicably, he felt like something had been overlooked.

Like feeling the cramp and feedback from the other leg while another is overburdened while running, or unconsciously raising the other hand when one cannot grasp firmly!

The so-called existence of surplus strength!

A force even he was unaware of started to manifest in his own perception under the terrifying pressure until he finally realized his oversight and blind spots.

He couldn't help it anymore and laughed aloud.

"Indeed, just a little bit more!"

Boom!!!

In that instant, between his hands, the advancing Thunderbolt came to an abrupt halt!

No, not just both hands...

A third shadow and Circle Realm manifested upon the overlapping hands!

Once achieved by observing and mimicking the saintly vision of Mercury, Ji Jue's third Spiritual Hand emerged on top of the hands.

It's like the wings of a moth after Transformation, under external pressure, interlinking the veins, integrating the newly born organ into mastery and perception.

The third hand, which was supposed to be non-existent, congealed into shape!

And then, the overlapping of three Non-Attack Circle Realms triggered an exponential qualitative change!

In a moment of astonishment and deathly silence, Ji Jue, almost ignited by the fierce light, shouted decisively, gripping the Thunderbolt tightly in his hand, giving a vigorous shake, plucking that thread of Destruction's fierce light into his hand, and flinging it at Lou Yanyue above the sky.

Counter-throw!

The bolt of lightning that soared up swelled instantly, like a tide, engulfing that stunned figure in mid-air.

Just then, in front of Lou Yanyue, under her Reaction, the lightning stream split open, bypassing her spot and returning to the Sky City shadow of Five Floors and Twelve Cities.

Return to sender!

She stood frozen in mid-air, seemingly not yet reacted, still incredulous.

She heard Ji Jue's laughter.

So joyful.

Even if it was just a trivial progress, it broke through the limitations of the past, as if opening the door to a new world, making all things appear different from before in his eyes.

He hadn't felt such satisfaction and excitement in a long time.

Even if his body was riddled with holes and on the verge of shattering, he felt indescribably refreshed and clear-headed.

The moment the Thunderbolt was thrown from his hand, he already understood.

After half a month of diligent study and hard practice...

The secret of the Circle Realm · [Moshou], finally, glimpsed the essence!

After cheering and rejuvenating, he turned back to restore his rebirth form, triumphant and joyful, dancing, only then noticing Lou Yanyue's dazed look.

Standing nearby, looking down at the floor, disoriented.

As if just when he threw the Thunderbolt back, this was how it was.

Ji Jue paused slightly.

Only at this moment did he remember that she was still a child, not even an adult.

Ji Jue smacked his forehead, feeling guilty.

He had been too flamboyant, and it hit her hard!

Bullying Old Lou doesn't bother him, but treating someone who's here to help like this is somewhat disloyal.

How is there any reason to put on airs for just a little progress?

"Don't be upset, it was just a coincidence."

Ji Jue consoled: "A serendipitous success; it relied on your mercy. If we do it again, I truly wouldn't make it."

This was true, not a shred of modesty.

His Moshou had just begun its initiation, in a phase of being unreliable.
