Have You Ever Heard of A Hammer Technique Descending from the Sky?
More than 99% of Manipulation School in this world can only manipulate physical objects.
Those with weaker abilities can make bullets curve and throw knives automatically Enemy Detection; those with greater abilities can uproot trees, reverse waterfalls, and even manipulate the air to create hurricanes!
However, all of these only apply to the stage of controlling objects!
Only a very few top experts can control things at a higher level and in a more abstract way!
For example, force!
The three of them had never seen a manipulator who could control gravity before!
Feeling their muscles begin to tremble and their joints cracking, the three realized something was wrong.
While external impacts can be countered with internal energy, unlike most forces, gravity acts directly on the human body without physical contact...
A knight wearing steel armor can withstand swords and axes, but an astronaut hiding in a rocket cannot escape the torment of gravitational acceleration!
It can only be sustained by willpower and physical strength!
The one suffering the most is Father Qin!
He transformed into a gigantic monster using Shapeshifting Technique, gaining immense power, but his weight also increased exponentially. Under a hundred times the gravity, he suffered the most severe injuries!
But he dared not transform back into human form, because his daughter, Xiao Qi, was hidden in the fur on his back!
"Dad... don't worry about me... I'm already..." Xiao Qi's voice came from behind his head, growing weaker and weaker, sounding like a knife to his father's ears!
This young girl, whose cultivation level is still relatively low, clearly cannot withstand such powerful gravity.
"Ahhh..." Father Qin roared angrily, forcing himself to take a step back, plucked Xiao Qi from behind his head, held her in both hands, spun around, used his inner energy to help, and his arms to shoot out qi, using all his strength to throw her away!
The Gravity Field's radius is only about twenty meters. As long as Xiaoqi flies out of that distance, Xiao Qi will be safe!
Overexertion caused Father Qin to fall to the ground, instantly reverting to human form. Unable to rise, he could only manage to look up at his daughter. Under the influence of strong gravity, Xiao Qi's upward speed rapidly decreased, almost instantly halting her ascent...
Father Qin's heart was in his throat. If she started falling and hadn't even escaped the Gravity Field, the acceleration of hundreds of times would instantly smash Xiao Qi to the ground and turn her into a meat patty!
Fortunately, at the moment Xiao Qi reached her highest point, she also crossed the edge of the Gravity Field and began to fall outwards in a normal parabolic trajectory...
Father Qin breathed a sigh of relief, but just then, he felt the ground tremble!
Could it be that...
Looking up, I saw that the area of the depression in the ground was beginning to expand outwards!
The Gravity Field chased after Xiao Qi!
"No!"
Father Qin's screams were heart-wrenching, and blood was streaming from his mouth and nose. He knew that Xiao Qi, who had already begun to fall, would be instantly smashed to pieces once she was enveloped by the Gravity Field again!
Lu Kui, with the strongest Root Bone, managed to stand up, but suddenly felt his feet slip and fell again; Xuanyuan Wuji, using his spear as a support, also suddenly found his feet sinking into the ground...
The two looked at the Polluter in the center of the Gravity Field. He had taken off his hood, revealing a head covered with scales and horny protrusions. He looked like Half-human, half-ghost, half-demon, half-beast, but his vaguely recognizable features still formed a cruel grin!
He was playing a game; human despair was his greatest pleasure. He wanted to make this father watch his daughter be smashed into a bloody pulp. He wasn't in a hurry to expand the Gravity Field; he wanted to prolong the despair before the disaster as much as possible!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Humans!"
"Your expressions right now are absolutely hilarious..."
"Boom!!!"
Very suddenly, the Polluter, who had just been laughing triumphantly, were suddenly engulfed by a violent explosion!
At the same time, the pressure on the three of them suddenly disappeared, the depression in the ground stopped spreading, Xiao Qi, who was in mid-air, fell to the ground along a normal parabola, even rolling and bouncing twice...
What happened?
The three were shocked. Father Qin immediately got up, rushed over and picked up his daughter. Ignoring his own nosebleed, he took out small bottles from his Hundred Treasure Box, poured out pills and fed them to Xiao Qi. The little girl's complexion visibly improved.
Father Qin breathed a sigh of relief before turning to look in the direction of the Polluter.
The spot where the Polluter had just stood was now shrouded in smoke and dust from the explosion. Lu Kui and Xuanyuan Wuji approached cautiously, but dared not venture into the smoke to investigate.
Father Qin carried the girl slowly over, his figure shifting into a monster with a large mouth, resembling a toad. He took a deep breath, his cheeks and throat bulging like balloons, and then suddenly exhaled.
The airflow dispersed the smoke and dust, revealing a large crater five or six meters in diameter. A young man wearing Half-Face Mask knelt on one knee at the bottom of the crater, crouching in Superhero landing pose, holding a large Claw Hammer and slamming it into the ground. Beside him stood a blue mechanism, emitting wisps of warm mist.
Beneath his hammer lay a tattered black robe, beneath which lay scattered, flying limbs and pieces of flesh...
Lu Kui bent down and picked up a severed hand from the edge of the pit. Its five fingers had sharp claws growing out of them—it was the Polluter from before!
Dead? Just that one moment? Such a powerful Polluter, dead?
Is it that simple?
"It's you?" Xuanyuan Wuji raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with disbelief.
He naturally remembered that night. When the tasks were assigned, he was the only one in charge of a gun emplacement, and he was quite arrogant... However, as a prodigy, Xuanyuan Wuji didn't hold it against him. He even planned to take care of the gun emplacement as soon as possible so he could go and provide support, making this kid who imitated him by wearing a mask grateful.
Unexpectedly, he parachuted in and took down that troublesome Polluter?
"Haha, I knew it! You really are amazing!" Lu Kui laughed heartily, clapping his hands with delight!
He was simple-minded and didn't have as many thoughts as Xuanyuan Wuji. He had witnessed Luo Jun's methods during the previous challenge, and in his opinion, this masked kid was stronger than him, it was just a matter of how much stronger.
"A hero emerges from among the young... Thank you so much for saving me." Mister Qin was filled with nothing but gratitude. If it weren't for this young man's intervention, his daughter would probably be a pile of minced meat...
"Hey, how long are you going to keep acting cool?" Seeing that Luo Jun hadn't made a move, Xuanyuan Wuji pouted in dissatisfaction, thinking to himself that this pose was quite cool, and he could borrow it next time he made his appearance...
Upon hearing the three's words, Luo Jun slightly raised his head, snorted coldly, tilted his body slightly upward, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He then raised his hand to support himself on the Water Healing Construct beside him before slowly standing up.
No one noticed that the leg he was kneeling on was still trembling slightly...
