S-Class Talent: Lightning Thunder Fist

"Fuck me..."

Jiang Qiao couldn't help but curse out loud.

He had been mentally prepared for dying.

After all, the three talents in his hands could only cause a little trouble for a single Vicious Ghost.

Trying to hold out under pressure in a disadvantaged situation was nothing but a fool's dream.

But serving himself up like takeout and voluntarily delivering himself into someone else's mouth was pretty damn awkward.

Still, Jiang Qiao felt this death had been totally worth it!

First, he learned that safe areas still existed after the Supernatural Revival.

That meant he could head to those places in advance instead of playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds locally!

Second, Jiang Qiao discovered that the Mason talent could actually brick him into a wall!

With that wild trick, he had survived two extra days right in front of a Vicious Ghost.

That gave him a great deal of inspiration. All sorts of bizarre ideas flooded his mind, as if a whole new world had opened up!

Of course, the most important thing was that the Gold Necklace donated by Faceless Ghost had now tripled.

Starving to death was obviously impossible. Hadn't he been in a rented apartment during the simulation?

That meant he had found a way to get money, perhaps even a fake identity.

But he needed to buy all kinds of supplies and make all kinds of preparations before the Supernatural Revival. The more money, the better.

Only with a bulging wallet would he have confidence!

Now that Faceless Bro had made a donation, wasn't this simply wonderful?

[Activate?]

"Activate!"

[Currently available talents for fusion: "Flop Over," "Boar Rush," "Soul Call," "Lightning Thunder Fist"...]

"Oh?"

Jiang Qiao suddenly cried out.

"Holy crap?"

"Holy crap!!"

"It's actually an S-Class Talent!"

A purple name appeared in Jiang Qiao's vision, making his breathing quicken as his heart pounded wildly.

He had just complained about having terrible luck and getting nothing but BBC. Who would have thought this round would directly give him an S-Class Talent—and Lightning Thunder Fist, at that!

Before transmigrating, Jiang Qiao had loved Uncle Ying's zombie films. He had a deep impression of this signature technique wielded by Shi Jian, the Maoshan Sect's senior disciple.

With this Thunder Art, Shi Jian had directly suppressed Uncle Jiu during their final battle!

In the end, he had been killed when his own Thunder Art rebounded onto him. In Jiang Qiao's view, that was purely a plot-induced death!

"Awesome!"

"This is an instant takeoff!"

Thinking of Shi Jian punching ghosts one by one in the film, Jiang Qiao's blood surged.

Once he got Lightning Thunder Fist, he would truly possess the ability to contend with Vicious Ghosts!

This system understood his needs far too well!

[Weird Simulation begins!]

[Day One. Blue smog blanketed the city. Water, electricity, and gas had all been cut off.

You stood by the window and could see nothing.

But the Screams that occasionally drifted over told you that Vicious Ghosts were already slaughtering people on a massive scale!

You were not panicked in the slightest. You ate a bowl of Extra-Stinky Snail Noodles and began practicing your punches indoors.]

[Day Two. Faceless Ghost came knocking.

After opening the door, you gave it several of its favorite Big Mouth slaps without another word, then bricked it into the toilet.

Naturally, the Gold Necklace went into your pocket.]

[Day Three. In the morning, you heard the faint sound of a loudspeaker in the distance. The Search and Rescue Team was entering the city in search of survivors.

You felt lonely by yourself, so you slung your pack over your back and left home.

You went downstairs through the Fire Escape. After descending just two floors, you heard Footsteps behind you.

You turned around, but saw nothing.

You quickened your pace downstairs, and the Footsteps behind you also sped up along with you.

You thought a Vicious Ghost had targeted you, so you stopped and prepared to go head-to-head with it!

But when you stopped, the Footsteps behind you vanished as well.

You thought this little thing was pretty naughty!

Just then, you felt an itch on top of your head, and a strand of hair dangled down from directly above.

You slid aside and looked up.

A Vicious Ghost hung upside down from the ceiling, its filthy long hair hanging down.

You tried taking two steps. It moved two steps along the ceiling as well, but the Footsteps were still coming from behind you!

You thought this was fucking absurd!

The instant you looked up, the Vicious Ghost raised its head too, revealing a shattered face.

A chill of terror rose in your heart.

So you slammed an Electric Left Hook right into its face!

Light exploded through the stairwell, dazzling and brilliant as blooming flowers—and flowers bloomed across its face as well!

The Vicious Ghost let out Screams, wrinkles spreading across its pale face!

You controlled lightning with both hands and used its head as a punching bag.

It wanted to strike back, but the electric current interrupted it every time, leaving it completely unable to mount an attack.

It was a miserable sight.

After several punches, it stopped moving.]

[It died!]

"Awesome, awesome!"

This Lightning Thunder Fist was awesome!

Not only was it powerful, it even came with crowd control!

Jiang Qiao watched with surging excitement.

Compared to Faceless Ghost, that one-punch weakling, this Hanging Ghost was on a completely different level.

It had even endured three to five hits of Thunder Art!

It was probably one of the strongest beings in the entire residential complex.

But being able to take a beating was useless.

If one hit didn't kill it, then hit it again!

Once controlled, all it could do was take the beating!

However, compared with last time, he had left home earlier.

Ghost Lao Ba had not even appeared yet!

Jiang Qiao thought it over carefully.

It was probably because he had obtained Lightning Thunder Fist this time, so he had been eager to see the power of Thunder Art.

His mood and thoughts before the simulation had affected the simulation itself.

"I can do this in a simulation, but in reality, I have to play it safe. I can't get reckless!"

Jiang Qiao silently warned himself.

[You successfully rendezvoused with the Search and Rescue Team.]

[On the way back, the smog gradually began to thin, and the outlines of the buildings on both sides of the street emerged.]

[You did not know whether it was an illusion, but you felt a pair of eyes watching you from those pitch-black windows.

However, the Search and Rescue Team members told you that they had checked all the nearby buildings. There were neither people nor Vicious Ghosts inside.

You were the only survivor found in this area!]

[Just as you were about to ask for details, a strange infant's laughter suddenly came from the corner ahead.

Several bluish-green babies crawled out in a brazen manner.

Their black, pupil-less eyes examined you all, carrying an inexplicable evil nature.]

[The Search and Rescue Team immediately opened fire without hesitation.

But the bullets struck the Ghost Infants' bodies as if they had hit highly elastic rubber, sinking in before quickly returning to normal.

The warheads fell all over the ground, yet could not harm them!]

[The Ghost Infants crawled swiftly toward you amid piercing, grating laughter, moving with astonishing speed!

Soon, one Search and Rescue Team member was knocked to the ground by a Ghost Infant and let out Screams.

Faced with these vicious little brats, you felt they needed a taste of society's harsh beatings!]

[Lightning wrapped around your entire body as you launched heavy punches, taking down one kid with each blow!

The Ghost Infants could not contend with you at all and were wiped out in one wave!]

[The Search and Rescue Team witnessed your cool figure and were all stunned, shouting that it was unbelievable!

But you sensed something strange from those Ghost Infants. That uneasy feeling of being watched grew even stronger.]

[You followed the rescue team to the Shelter Camp. Military commander Zhang Guoliang came to see you and hoped you would join the military. You neither agreed nor refused.]

[Day Four. A steady stream of survivors was rescued.

Through your conversations with Zhang Guoliang, you learned that Supernatural Events had erupted across the entire world, but safe areas still existed.

The nearest one was neighboring An City.]

[Day Five. You started a secondhand Banknote recycling business in the camp. Unfortunately, aside from Grandpa Qin, no one was willing to trade with you.

You had a favorable impression of Grandpa Qin and chatted with him. Grandpa Qin told you that he had once been a security guard.]

[Day Six. Through conversations with survivors, you learned a great deal of information about Vicious Ghosts.

Survivors from South City District mentioned seeing a gigantic figure ten meters tall near the library.

Unfortunately, they had only been focused on running for their lives and had been too far away to see what it was clearly.]

[Day Seven. The Shelter Camp suffered a food shortage, and the military planned to head to a War Reserve Warehouse in the Eastern Suburbs to transport food supplies.]

[Day Eight. You accepted the military's invitation and led a team to the War Reserve Warehouse.

After opening the warehouse, you encountered an attack by a group of Human Skin Ghosts!

These Vicious Ghosts resembled sacks. Once they enveloped someone, they would take on the victim's appearance, while the victim became a new piece of human skin.

Facing the Vicious Ghosts frantically stuffing people away, you roared, "Stuff your fucking mother!"

Under the education of your iron fists, the Skin Ghosts finally quieted down.]

[Day Nine. With your help, massive quantities of food were continuously delivered into the Shelter Camp, greatly easing the strained supply situation.

Whenever the survivors spoke of you, they could not help giving a thumbs-up—absolutely amazing!

You did not care about ordinary people's gratitude. You only wanted to obtain more intelligence from the military.]

[Day Ten. You received the latest news from the military: survivors with special abilities had been discovered everywhere, and these people were called "Awakened."

Military commander Zhang Guoliang believed you were also an "Awakened" and invited you again. You still said you would think about it.]

[Day Eleven. You noticed that the area around the camp was becoming increasingly dangerous, with Vicious Ghosts appearing from time to time. Yet strangely, they did not attack the camp.]

[Day Twelve. Grandpa Qin came looking for you and told you that men in the camp were pregnant.

You were greatly shocked and went to verify it!

You discovered human faces writhing beneath one man's belly skin.]

[Military personnel who had received reports also rushed over at this time. The commander ordered a thorough investigation, and more than twenty pregnant men were discovered.

You felt the camp could no longer be stayed in and planned to leave immediately.

But it was already too late!]

[Before you could even leave the Shelter Camp, Screams erupted all around you!

Bluish-green Ghost Infants burst out from one belly after another, while Ghost Infants outside the camp also rushed in from every direction!]

[Everyone was fleeing frantically.]

[Grandpa Qin somehow found a tricycle, and you quickly got on!

Unfortunately, a three-wheeler was not an infantry fighting vehicle. The two of you were soon swallowed by an ocean of Ghost Infants.]

[Grandpa Qin was too fragile and was dragged off the vehicle by the Ghost Infants, receiving his boxed meal.

Before dying, Grandpa Qin tearfully told you that the secondhand hundred-yuan Banknote he had traded you was counterfeit.

You squeezed out a "Fuck your mother!" at his corpse!]

[You fought bloody battles alone all the way, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring as you went Full Power!

Bathed in electric light, you looked like a god descending to earth!

During the battle, your Lightning Thunder Fist broke through, and your strength grew even greater.

With every punch, arcs of electricity swept outward, sending more than a dozen Ghost Infants to heaven each time!

But your danger had not been lifted. More and more Ghost Infants surrounded you.]

They had no sense of fair play and rushed you together!

Braving the lightning crackling around you, they tried to grab your head and wrench your feet apart. Wave after wave, never giving up!]

[In the end, your two fists could not withstand countless hands!]

[You died!]

[Before you died, you saw the Pregnant Female Ghost standing atop a distant building, glaring at you with venomous resentment!]
