Moon Fang Heaven Cleaver

Andrew had lost all interest in wasting words on him.

He turned to leave.

How could Matt possibly allow Andrew to leave just like that?

In his panic, he used Telekinesis, trying to trap Andrew.

But Andrew broke free with ease!

"How could this be?!"

Matt had always known that Andrew was more gifted and had better control over Telekinesis than he did.

But he had never imagined Andrew could be this much stronger!

Even with all his strength, he could not restrain Andrew in the slightest!

Andrew had already noticed.

Hovering in midair, he turned to look at Matt.

"You attacked me?"

Matt hurriedly said, "Andrew, listen to me!"

But Andrew had no intention of letting him continue.

He dived down in an instant and threw a punch!

A mass of electric arcs wrapped around his fist, bursting forward.

—Crackle!

An overwhelming sense of danger rose in Matt's heart.

At the critical moment, he used Telekinesis to rapidly shift his body and dodged the strike.

—Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted from where he had been standing.

Centered on Andrew, a crater over ten meters wide had been blasted into the ground!

Matt was shocked, but Andrew was already attacking again!

"Andrew! Wait!"

Only now did Matt realize that his Telekinesis had absolutely no effect on Andrew!

He could only dodge passively.

But Andrew was far stronger than him. The only reason he had not hit Matt yet was because he lacked combat experience!

After attacking several times in succession, he finally found an opening in Matt's defense.

He threw a vicious punch straight at him!

Despair filled Matt's heart, but at that moment, a figure stepped in front of him.

—Boom!

A terrifying blast of air exploded in midair.

The compressed air rippled violently, forming streams of grayish-white airflow that spread outward.

Steve had arrived just in time at the crucial moment!

"Andrew, are you insane?! Stop!"

Andrew looked at Steve. "Heh heh, you've entered this realm too."

That was right. At that critical moment, Steve had finally crossed the threshold into Current Propulsion.

Could Andrew still handle the two of them working together?

Absolutely. Easily!

—Yah!

Terrifying currents flashed wildly across his body.

He threw a punch and instantly arrived before Steve.

"Sixty Thousand Volts, Current Propulsion!"

Steve smelled death. Under the pressure of that threat, the newly born current within him surged wildly.

Ten Thousand Volts!

Twenty Thousand Volts!

Thirty Thousand Volts!

"Break for me!!"

—Boom!!

The terrifying shockwave sent Matt flying.

He fell downward and slammed heavily into the ground.

"Fuck!"

He tried to struggle to his feet, only to feel a sharp pain in his right ribs.

At least two of his ribs had been broken!

Using Telekinesis to support himself, he endured the pain and rushed toward the site of the explosion.

All the surrounding trees had been blasted apart and toppled outward in a radial pattern.

At the center was a huge crater with overturned earth and rock.

At the bottom of the crater, Steve lay covered in blood, already unconscious.

As for Andrew, he had long since vanished.

"Steve!!"

Matt had never imagined things would develop to this point.

Everything had been fine just moments ago!

Wah! Why had it come to this?!

High in the sky.

Gu Qing looked down at everything.

He had taken in the entire battle.

A faint, satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Andrew, you truly haven't disappointed me! I hope you grow quickly and comprehend the mysteries of Magnetic Field Rotation, because my fists—are already starting to itch!!"

Then he descended.

He arrived beside the two of them.

"Erik! Save Steve, quickly! He's not going to make it!"

Gu Qing said, "Don't worry. Although Steve is only at the Current Propulsion Realm, his vitality already far surpasses that of ordinary people.

As long as he isn't dead, there's nothing to worry about!"

Space Needle.

It was a major landmark in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, located in downtown Seattle.

Every New Year, a fireworks display was held there.

Designed for the 1962 World's Fair, its observation deck stood 520 feet above the ground and offered a 360-degree view of Seattle.

Including Mount Rainier, Olympic National Park, and Puget Sound.

At that moment, a figure stood atop the Space Needle.

Looking down, he could overlook Seattle's entire nightscape.

Looking up, it felt as though the bright moon was only an arm's reach away.

The night wind brushed against Andrew's cheeks.

The events of the day kept replaying in his mind.

He thought of how he had nearly killed Richard.

He thought of falling out with Steve and Matt.

He thought of how he had finally unleashed his truest self and spoken his true thoughts!

"I don't regret it!"

Andrew felt the even greater power within him, and excitement filled his heart!

"This power is incredible! Today's battle was worth months of hard training!

My Current Propulsion has now reached Sixty Thousand Volts. Who in this world can defeat me now?!"

Surging emotions gathered within him.

They made him feel increasingly stifled, desperate to release them completely.

For some reason, he suddenly recalled the madness of that talent show night.

"What fucking rules! What fucking laws! What fucking morality!

Power is everything!

I, Andrew Detmer, will do whatever I want, whenever I want!!"

Three days later.

Steve's injuries had clearly been more severe, yet he had already recovered completely.

Matt's injuries, meanwhile, had only just stabilized. It would likely take a long time before he fully recovered.

A hundred days to heal broken bones and torn muscles—he had broken two ribs!

Seattle.

Bala General Hospital.

Steve had already completed his discharge procedures.

Together with Gu Qing, he sat on either side of Matt's hospital bed.

"I can't believe it, Steve. You... you're completely fine!"

Steve flexed his muscles. "Of course. Can't you see these strong muscles? I've already broken through to Thirty Thousand Volts!"

Matt recalled what had happened that day.

He sighed. "I wonder how Andrew is doing now."

At the mention of Andrew, both of them could not help but look somewhat heavy-hearted.

Gu Qing said, "Don't worry. I went to take a look. He's already gone home."

Matt hurriedly asked, "Nothing else happened, right? What about Richard?"

Gu Qing said, "They're acting as though nothing happened. Richard was never hospitalized. After you took him to the hospital for some simple bandaging, he went home that same day."

Matt and Steve looked at each other.

Steve breathed a sigh of relief. "It would be great if they could make up. Maybe... maybe Andrew just needed to vent, and everything is fine now?"

Matt's lips moved. He recalled what Andrew had said to him that day, and he could not shake the feeling that things were not so simple.

But in the end, he did not say it aloud.

He merely agreed, "I hope so..."
