Chapter 218: Chapter 107: Ninth-Grade Demon King of Taihang Mountain! Thunder Essence Fruit Tree

"Burst!"

A quiet shout, yet it boomed like a clap of thunder!

Lin Yi’s right fist moved!

No longer slow like before, but as swift as a thunderbolt!

Under the crushing pressure of nine times gravity.

This single punch tore through the viscous air, letting out a piercing sonic boom!

Wherever the edge of his fist passed, the air was brutally shoved aside, creating a visible white wake.

The violent air currents swirled madly within the cramped Gravity Room, making Lin Yi’s clothes whip and snap!

At the same time.

On his tightly clenched fist, a strange, nearly transparent film of energy—thin as a cicada’s wing—instantly materialized!

The film seemed fragile, yet it radiated a terrifying ripple of power, as if it held a relentless force capable of shattering mountains!

Third Grade True Intent—Overlapping Waves Intent!

He had succeeded!

"Gravity off!"

Lin Yi’s voice held a barely perceptible tremor.

The humming abruptly ceased.

The crushing pressure enveloping his body vanished in an instant.

"WHOOSH!!!"

Lin Yi violently exhaled a ragged breath. His body suddenly felt light, as if a mountain had been lifted from his shoulders. An unprecedented sense of weightlessness washed over him, almost making him feel like he was about to float away.

He looked down at his fist, feeling the surging power contained within the transparent film. An irrepressible light of ecstasy erupted in his eyes!

’I did it! So this is Overlapping Waves Intent?’

He couldn’t resist throwing another punch. This time, he didn’t build up any power; it was launched with a mere flicker of his will.

"WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!"

The wind from his fists howled, as fast as lightning!

With every punch, the transparent film of the Overlapping Waves Intent manifested on its own.

The force of his punches was no longer a singular burst. Instead, it was like a series of overlapping ocean waves, one pushing the next, the power continuously stacking and amplifying as it was unleashed!

Instantly unleashing a terrifying power far beyond his base strength!

Lin Yi’s heart pounded with excitement as he instantly grasped the essence of the Overlapping Waves Intent.

It didn’t just drastically increase the multiplier for his instantaneous bursts of power.

More importantly, it completely changed the way he applied his power!

’Previously, using the nine-fold power buildup took time and concentration to stack my Qi and Blood layer by layer. In a real battle, that’s a fatal weakness! But now...’

An excited grin spread across Lin Yi’s face.

’With Overlapping Waves Intent, the power manifests as soon as I will it! There’s no need to charge up at all!’

To his even greater surprise.

Under the influence of the profound Stacked Waves Realm, the limit of his power stacking went far beyond a tenfold increase!

’Time to find my limit!’

Lin Yi took a deep breath, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

He threw another punch, channeling the Overlapping Waves Intent at will.

Eleven times his power! The air cracked with a deeper boom.

Twelve times his power! The resulting shockwave sent his hair flying back.

Thirteen times his power! A distinct, aching strain spread through his arm muscles.

Fifteen times his power!

"BOOM!"

With one punch, the air in front of him seemed to detonate, creating a brief, localized vacuum!

However.

At the very instant he unleashed fifteen times his power.

Lin Yi’s arm trembled violently. The veins bulged beneath his skin as if they were about to burst, and an excruciating, tearing pain shot through him!

"HISS!"

He sucked in a sharp breath and immediately stopped channeling his power.

’My body’s strength can’t keep up!’

Looking at his slightly trembling, reddened right arm, Lin Yi instantly understood why.

An instantaneous burst of fifteen times his power was the absolute limit his current high-stage Third Grade physique could endure!

If he tried to stack any more power, his arm would undoubtedly break down!

’This isn’t the limit of the Overlapping Waves Intent, it’s the limit of my body!’

As Lin Yi felt the still-eager fluctuations of the Overlapping Waves Intent on his fist, he clearly sensed it—

The true limit of the Third Grade Overlapping Waves Intent was a twenty-fold power amplification!

As long as his cultivation realm advanced and his physique grew stronger, he could unleash even more terrifying levels of stacked power!

Twenty times his power!

The number made Lin Yi’s heart pound in his chest.

’A twenty-fold power increase! Who in the same grade could possibly withstand that? With a single punch, I could probably shatter the defenses of even a Fourth Grade Realm martial artist!’

A fervent light shone in Lin Yi’s eyes, filled with a thirst for power.

’Even now, with a fifteen-fold power burst, given my high-stage Third Grade foundation of Qi and Blood, an ordinary low-stage Fourth Grade Martial Artist would be gravely wounded, if not killed, taking that head-on!’

Immense joy and confidence swelled in his heart.

’If I challenged the ninth stage of the Combat Chamber now...’

Lin Yi quickly ran the scenario through his mind.

’That mechanical puppet is incredibly durable, as hard as an alloy, and can unleash the speed and power of a low-stage Fourth Grade opponent. But now I’ve mastered the Overlapping Waves Intent. With an instantaneous fifteen-fold power burst, combined with the Wave Intent’s highly penetrating power-conduction properties...’

The Overlapping Waves Intent will stack fifteen times the force, and the Wave Intent will transmit that power without any loss, penetrating deep into the mechanical puppet’s core joints!

’As long as I land a hit! Even a Fourth Grade mechanical puppet won’t be able to take it! Its core structure will definitely be shattered!’

Lin Yi reached his conclusion.

His attack power was more than sufficient; it even exceeded the requirements for the ninth stage!

But...

The flames of Lin Yi’s excitement were quickly doused with cold water.

’My attack power is enough, but my speed... it’s too slow!’

His brow furrowed as he clearly recognized his current shortcoming.

’Whether it’s my own movement speed or the absolute speed of my spear thrusts, I’m nowhere near fast enough to keep up with the phantom-like movements of a Fourth Grade mechanical puppet!’

’In the cramped confines of the Combat Chamber, facing an opponent who completely outclasses me in speed, it doesn’t matter how strong I am. If I can’t land a hit, it’s all for nothing!’

’It’s like a clumsy giant swinging a mountain-splitting hammer, completely unable to hit a nimble fly.’

Lin Yi shook his head in resignation.
