Strongest Innate Divine Ability!

Chapter 17: The Strongest Innate Divine Ability!

A ray of golden light illuminated the sky, its immense brilliance instantly eclipsing the midday sun!

Amidst everyone's gasps, the sun vanished! It was only then that someone exclaimed.

"The sea!"

Suddenly, a vast ocean appeared, shimmering and sparkling. The entire Gu Family Village seemed to sink beneath the water as a bright moon slowly rose!

"An anomaly! A Divine Body!" Gu Xuanzhen started, then shot to his feet!

A Divine Body! Once fully activated, it would become a god-level expert! A peerless physique that could even aspire to the Saint realm!

"Divine Body! Divine Body!"

Gu Xuanzhen felt as if he were dreaming. A mere youth from a remote mountain village possessed a Divine Body! He absentmindedly pulled at his beard, usually so precious, yet felt no pain, standing there in a daze!

"I clearly used my 'Eye of True Sight' last time and saw only a regular Mortal Body! How could it be a Divine Body?" Gu Xuanzhen was dumbfounded, even doubting if his skills had regressed with age!

"This anomaly!" Gu Lianxing was also startled, her heart pounding wildly! She wasn't like the other Gu Family Village members gasping in surprise at the anomaly; she was one of the few present who knew what a Divine Body was!

"A Divine Body! A legendary physique! Among the thirty million people of Great Yan, there are only a dozen or so Divine Bodies! This kid!" Gu Lianxing felt her heart tremble. Returning to her ancestral home with her grandfather, she had actually discovered a Divine Body! It was like digging up a gold nugget from the dirt!

"Divine Body! Anomaly!" Gu Yue's expression changed!

Clatter!

The Talent Stone fell onto the table. Gu Shaoshang interrupted the impending second anomaly, "The Immortal King Descends Upon the Nine Heavens"!

Hoo!

Gu Shaoshang took a deep breath, calming his surging heartbeat.

The anomalies of the Primordial Ancient Sacred Body were not limited to just this one! If all the anomalies like "Yin-Yang Life-Death Diagram," "Immortal King Descends Upon the Nine Heavens," and "Chaos Seeds Golden Lotus" were to manifest, the consequences would likely be severe!

The golden light, the sea, and the bright moon all vanished.

The crowd fell silent for a long time, then erupted into thunderous cheers!

Even though no one in the crowd knew what a powerful physique this was, the spectacle alone spoke volumes!

The crowd roared and surged onto the high platform, lifting Gu Shaoshang high into the air and tossing him up!

"This should have all been mine! Gu Shaoshang, I will not let you go!" Gu Shaoyou stood aside with a dark expression, roaring madly in his heart! Resentment and jealousy gnawed at him like venomous snakes.

"I'm not reconciled! Why don't I have a physique! Just a common Mortal Body!" Gu Shaoyou clenched his fists tightly.

"Yingzi... do you see? Our son..." In a corner of the crowd, Gu Jiu watched Gu Shaoshang being tossed and caught by the crowd. He looked up at the sky, his eyes glistening slightly.

The Gu Family Village held another banquet that afternoon. Gu Yu, usually frugal, had, for once, thrown a celebratory feast for his daughter.

"Brother Jiu! Shaoshang has brought you a lot of face this time!" A man raised his wine bowl and drank it dry.

"Good!" someone shouted in approval!

"Here, Brother Jiu!"

"Drink!"

At the banquet, Gu Jiu was more radiant than ever. The man, who had abstained from alcohol for years, got thoroughly drunk!

Gu Shaoshang saw off a group of youngsters and then saw a few men carrying his father back, reeking of alcohol.

Gu Shaoshang opened the door, and the men carried Gu Jiu to his bed before staggering away.

"The alcohol in this world generally isn't very strong. How much did Dad drink to get this way?" Gu Shaoshang frowned as he removed Gu Jiu's clothes.

"Yingzi... I'm a good-for-nothing... can't avenge you... I..." Gu Jiu mumbled a few words, tears welling in his eyes.

"Mom..." Gu Shaoshang trembled. Seeing that Gu Jiu had fallen asleep, he decided against asking. If Gu Jiu didn't say anything, questioning him would be useless.

He took out a Replenishing Pill and fed it to Gu Jiu, then Gu Shaoshang returned to his room and lay down.

In the Mirror World, Gu Shaoshang clicked on his greatly changed status.

[Gu Shaoshang (Mirror Master) Age: Eleven]
[Innate Divine Ability: Tail-Feathered Mantis Shrimp! (Mutated Rank 9 Divine Ability)]
[Bloodline: Primordial Ancient Sacred Body (Unactivated)]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Second Stage, Tough Skin Like A Drum. Evaluation: One Star Ordinary]
[Source Power: 5.8 points]
[Techniques: [Basic Footwork] (Level 8) [Basic Saber Technique] (Level 5) [Tiger Roar Fist] (Level 3) [Xingyi Quan] (Level 5) [Horse Stance] (Level 3) [Primordial Python Star Devourer Record] (Level 1)]
[Items: One Hundred Refinements Saber]
[Combat Power: 29]

Gu Shaoshang looked at his status screen, and the overwhelming joy he had been suppressing finally burst out!

The Tail-Feathered Mantis Shrimp is ferocious, with extremely sharp eyesight. When attacking, it can exert a force up to 2500 times its body weight, with an acceleration of 10 kilograms.

During an attack, its raptorial appendages can extend at speeds exceeding 80 kilometers per hour within one-fiftieth of a second, with an acceleration exceeding that of a 0.22-inch caliber pistol bullet. It can generate an impact force of up to 60 kilograms, and the instantaneous friction generates heat approaching the surface temperature of the sun! Even steel would vaporize!

This mutated Innate Divine Ability of the ninth grade, named after it, brought even greater joy than the Primordial Ancient Sacred Body!

Imagine, if such a terrifying power could be unleashed by a mere shrimp! What kind of might could Gu Shaoshang, whose full-body strength surpassed two thousand jin, unleash!

"A pity, if not for the severe aftereffects, it would surely be a peerless divine ability!" Gu Shaoshang sighed inwardly. Such terrifying amplification could not be borne by any body!

[Innate Divine Ability: Tail-Feathered Mantis Shrimp (Ninth Grade Mutated Divine Ability): Strengths: Can instantly unleash over 120 times the body's muscle strength, with punch acceleration reaching 10,000 times! Weaknesses: Even a body forged from steel would turn to molten iron after one punch! Certain death upon use! Use with extreme caution!]

"What a shame, even if someone possessed such a divine ability, who would dare to use it? Moreover, a three-second activation time is truly a useless divine ability!" Gu Shaoshang muttered to himself. In a life-and-death battle, one second is enough to kill you ten times over. Who would give you three seconds to prepare?

Bathed in the purple light, Gu Shaoshang suddenly burst into laughter!

Even Gu Shaoshang wouldn't dare to use a divine ability that guaranteed death upon use!

However, paired with the Myriad Heavens Projection Mirror, there was no more suitable divine ability for Gu Shaoshang! Under the purple light of the Mirror World, Gu Shaoshang was invincible!

"Within the Myriad Heavens Projection Mirror, all projections! I can kill them all! Perhaps one day, I will even evolve this divine ability into a boxing technique..." Gu Shaoshang sat cross-legged on the stone platform, his myriad distracting thoughts gradually fading away.

"Hoo."

Gu Shaoshang exhaled deeply and stood up.

"Challenge, Gu Ji!"

A flash of purple light streaked across, and space unfolded like folded paper.

Gu Shaoshang's vision blurred, and the familiar furnishings of Gu Family Village appeared before his eyes.

The familiar crossroads, the familiar bluestone slabs, and ahead, the imposing figure of Gu Ji walking!

It was the exact time and place where he had been punched by Gu Ji and spat blood!

Gu Shaoshang took a deep breath. Since activating the Projection Mirror, he had only challenged Gu Ji once, and he had been instantly killed with a single punch!

"But this time, it's my turn to shine!" Gu Shaoshang's gaze was firm.

"Gu Ji!" Gu Shaoshang slowly clenched his fist!

"Roar!"

With a resonant roar of bones and muscles from within his body, like a tiger's roar, Gu Ji lunged forward like a tiger descending a mountain!

A fierce wind swept towards him, Gu Shaoshang's hair flew backward, and his clothes rustled!

His body suddenly retreated half a step, and with imposing presence, his front foot advanced another half step. He exhaled, his hair bristled, and he unleashed his full power. A punch was thrown!

It was the most ferocious move in Xingyi Quan, the "Half-Step Collapsing Fist!"
