I, Fu Yuan, Will Blow Up the Holy Grail War

Fu Yuan's body was enveloped in orange lightning, a phenomenon Scáthach mistook for 'Mana Burst'.

Humans capable of using 'Mana Burst' are quite rare.

After all, doing so consumes an immense amount of Magic, far more than modern Mages from the Clock Tower or Attendants from the Church could wield.

Even if they possessed such vast Magic, their fragile bodies wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Upon witnessing the changes in Fu Yuan's body, Scáthach, who had been lounging atop the gates of the Land of Shadows, straightened her posture slightly, focusing intently on the upcoming battle.

See?

The simplest and most direct way to gain the approval of a powerful individual is to demonstrate your strength, making them reconsider their initial assessment.

Chapter Twenty-Six: I'll Rip Off Your Skull!

Initiating the 'Swift Feather Transformation: Azure Pine' stance, Fu Yuan severed all extraneous thoughts, controlled his breathing, and then resolutely swung a punch at the Skeleton Soldiers of the Land of Shadows charging towards him.

Fu Yuan's fist, infused with his Qi, was a punch capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks. The air suddenly exploded, a sound born from the convergence of a sonic boom and a thunderclap.

Beneath the deafening roar of the intertwined sonic boom and thunderclap, boundless lightning was unleashed by Fu Yuan in the 'Swift Feather Transformation: Azure Pine' posture!

Scáthach, watching from atop the gates of the Land of Shadows, was stunned. She felt that the punch Fu Yuan threw wasn't a punch at all, but rather a dense, terrifying ball of orange lightning...

The lightning Fu Yuan unleashed roared towards the Skeleton Soldiers of the Land of Shadows like a thunder dragon, baring its fangs and claws.

As the thunder dragon roared, the Skeleton Soldiers were instantly engulfed. Then, in the midst of this terrifying heat and energy, they turned to ash... no, not even ash remained.

Even the ashes of the Skeleton Soldiers were annihilated by Fu Yuan's punch!

Now, there were no Skeleton Soldiers before Fu Yuan. The swarms that had charged with such ferocity were all obliterated by his single punch.

This was even with Fu Yuan deliberately controlling his power to only one layer, as he feared his full-power punch might shatter the magic circle Scáthach had set up.

If Fu Yuan had used ten layers of his power, he probably would have... directly punched through the entire Mount Ensō.

As the saying goes... a punch that pierces mountains, that's exactly what this was.

Although Fu Yuan's punch annihilated the Skeleton Soldiers charging at him, they were attacking from all directions. Thus, Skeleton Soldiers behind Fu Yuan swung their greatswords at him.

Devoid of life, thought, or fear, the Skeleton Soldiers paid no mind to Fu Yuan's previous punch. They had only one objective.

To obey the Queen of the Land of Shadows' command and overwhelm this man.

So, the greatswords of the Skeleton Soldiers attacked Fu Yuan from behind with a fierce wind.

But it was as if Fu Yuan had eyes in the back of his head. He slightly sidestepped, casually and effortlessly evading the attack from behind, and then gave a gentle pat.

Boom!

Like a thunderclap across the sky, the Skeleton Soldier that Fu Yuan's palm struck was instantly shattered, turning into a pile of bone fragments.

"This... this should be 'False Clairvoyance'," Scáthach observed Fu Yuan's battle with the Skeleton Soldiers, her bewitching beautiful eyes now shining with surprise.

Scáthach's gaze towards Fu Yuan was now like that of a treasure hunter who had discovered an infinitely vast treasure chest – intensely eager, so much so that she wished she could claim him as her own.

False Clairvoyance is an ability.

It's an ability honed by Heroes through countless difficult adventures, based on intuition and a sixth sense, granting the perception of danger and the ability to evade incoming attacks.

If this ability is at a high level, it can even predict dangers and ambushes ahead of time.

Those who possess False Clairvoyance are either born with acute senses or have learned it through rigorous trials.

Scáthach didn't know where Fu Yuan's 'False Clairvoyance' came from, but that didn't stop her from admiring him.

In reality, Scáthach was mistaken again. What Fu Yuan possessed wasn't 'False Clairvoyance'. His perception of danger was gained from cultivating the Great Void Sword Qi.

Ever since Fu Yuan cultivated True Qi, his senses and intuition had become extremely sharp. If he focused, the slightest movement within a thousand-meter radius wouldn't escape his perception.

Therefore, even with his back to the Skeleton Soldiers behind him, Fu Yuan could still sense their attack.

He smashed the skull of a Skeleton Soldier with a punch.

Fu Yuan, with arcs of electricity flowing around his body, spun around.

He kicked the cervical vertebrae of a Skeleton Soldier away.

Fu Yuan, radiating lightning, moved freely across this battlefield. As he flashed past each Skeleton Soldier, that skeletal soldier had its skull smashed.

With its skull destroyed, the Skeleton Soldier could no longer maintain its form, its pale bones clattering to the ground, turning into a pile of useless bone fragments.

Fu Yuan's current speed was incredibly fast, truly like a bolt of lightning.

Scáthach's beautiful eyes were fixed on Fu Yuan; it seemed the Queen of the Land of Shadows' dynamic vision could capture his movements.

However, Fu Yuan's current enemies weren't Scáthach, but an astonishingly large number of Skeleton Soldiers. Unfortunately, they couldn't track Fu Yuan's movements, only seeing the lightning-colored afterimages he left behind.

Fu Yuan's phantom-like, thunderous movements, combined with the perception gained from cultivating the Great Void Sword Qi, meant that even with the sheer number of Skeleton Soldiers, they couldn't even touch his clothes, let alone strike him.

This was a one-sided battle, utterly dominated by Fu Yuan.

How could a battle that should have been a crushing victory for the numerous Skeleton Soldiers fail to eliminate even a single person...

The sounds of cracking and exploding bones echoed intermittently in the place that had become a battlefield. Fu Yuan wasn't in a hurry to eliminate them all; instead, he used them to practice and warm up.

Equipped with Monet's Stigmata Set, Fu Yuan was using these Skeleton Soldiers from the Land of Shadows to practice, gradually mastering the power that had surged within him.

The feeling of fist meeting flesh... no, fist meeting bone, filled Fu Yuan with an indescribable sense of excitement and exhilaration.

As expected, a real man should fight bare-handed, that's what feels good.

Scáthach, sitting atop the gates of the Land of Shadows, watched as Fu Yuan beat down the Skeleton Soldiers. Her beautiful eyes shone with admiration as she murmured to herself, "Looking at this situation, I really underestimated him. No wonder he dared to ask me for a spar even after knowing who I am."

"Since that's the case, I'll strengthen the Skeleton Soldiers a bit. Let's see how you deal with them next."

A hint of a pleased smile on her face, Scáthach extended her delicate hand and touched the gate of the Land of Shadows where her rounded hips were seated.

Whoosh~

Following Scáthach's action, a surge of dark energy erupted from the gates of the Land of Shadows. This dark energy washed over the Skeleton Soldiers, then coiled around their pale, brittle bones, instantly merging into them.

Most of the bones that made up the Skeleton Soldiers originally had slight cracks. However, after being enveloped and infused by this dark energy, the remaining cracks on their bones vanished!

Furthermore, not only that, but the Skeleton Soldiers' bones now flowed with a crystalline sheen, appearing to have been strengthened!
