Qi and an Equally Matched Opponent
"These two little guys seem quite exhausted, which makes it easy for me to reap the benefits..." Madame Gao keenly noticed the fatigue on Johnny and Susan's faces. "However, we still need to find out who stole Master's power and was able to summon the Shadowkhan Team. This is undermining the foundation of my the Hand. Once I resolve this matter and obtain the superpower stone from that little guy, perhaps I can gain Master's favor and become the sole leader of the Hand!"
As she spoke, a fanatical light flashed in Madame Gao's eyes, and a dark aura was faintly surging around her, somewhat similar to the aura of those Shadowkhan, only Madame Gao's aura was clearly much stronger!
"Hmm? What's this?" Robet, who was using Clark's navigation to fly towards Johnny and Susan, raised an eyebrow. He sensed Madame Gao's powerful aura. In terms of aura strength alone, this aura had surpassed Kara's and was barely on the same level as Clark and Diana, though weaker than Hulk and Abomination.
However, it's clear that aura doesn't represent actual combat power; otherwise, Abomination and Hulk wouldn't have been knocked away by Clark in one move, and not even that far...
"He's here... Hmm? No, this isn't him..." Exhausted Johnny looked up at the sky and saw Robet's figure. He called out instinctively, but he quickly frowned because Robet didn't look the same as the last time he saw him.
Yes, Robet had already changed his appearance using the Transformation Technique before leaving the house. This was due to the activation conditions provided by Clark Navigation, so Robet transformed into the appearance of Son Goku... uh, Kakarot, not the Son Goku.
So when Johnny saw that Robet looked strange, he instinctively pulled Susan behind him and looked at Robet in mid-air with a wary expression.
Johnny wasn't sure if anyone else besides Robet could fly, but upon seeing the unfamiliar Robet, he still chose to be on high alert!
"Don't worry, it's me." Robet waved his hand and smiled at Johnny.
"Why do you look different? No, how can you prove that you are you?" Johnny frowned, a hint of hesitation in his eyes as he asked.
"Hmm... I saved her life." Robet thought for a moment, then pointed at Susan and said softly, "Also, I didn't expend much effort to kill the Shadowkhan that day."
"I knew it!" Johnny breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Is this your real appearance?" Susan blinked, looking at Robet's appearance, and asked with interest.
"Oh, no." Robet didn't talk much with Susan, casually waving his hand before turning to Johnny and saying, "Leave the Dragon Talisman to me. Also, you need to leave as soon as possible; it looks like someone else is watching you!"
"Someone else is watching us? I knew those Shadowkhan looked a bit different..." Johnny's eyes lit up, and he quickly voiced his discovery, "Those ninjas have become thinner and taller. I thought I was seeing things, but it turns out it wasn't my imagination!"
With a "whoosh!" before Johnny could finish speaking, a series of black shadows appeared around him and coalesced into new figures. These shadows were called Shadow Blade, and they were thinner and taller than the Shadowkhan. Their claws were shaped like sharp blades, and their feet were also shaped like daggers, somewhat resembling the scissor kicks of the Camille.
It turned out that Madame Gao, who was observing from a distance, was startled when she saw Robet appear in her field of vision. From her perspective, she did not see Robet flying over, but she did see Robet jump from mid-air to Johnny's side and talk to Johnny and the others.
Therefore, in order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Madame Gao decisively ordered the Shadow Blade to make a move, wanting to test Robet's true strength!
"You can't hold back anymore?" Robet glanced at the surrounding Shadow Blade, but showed no interest. After all, a powerful figure was nearby, and Robet couldn't be bothered to deal with a bunch of minions who weren't even considered living beings.
"Leave the Dragon Talisman here for now. Be careful, everyone. I'm going to check how powerful the person targeting you really is. Remember not to get too close!" Robet turned to Johnny and gave him a warning before rushing towards the location of Madame Gao.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
As Robet advanced, his aura exploded forth, scattering the nearby Shadow Blade that had been thrust at him, which then vanished as black mist.
"Hmm?!" Madame Gao sensed the powerful aura emanating from Robet. Before she could even react, Robet was already standing in front of her, scrutinizing her. Madame Gao's pupils contracted slightly, and a hint of apprehension flashed in her eyes as she looked at Robet.
"Who are you?" Madame Gao tightened her grip on her cane, looking at Robet warily as she asked.
"An old lady?" Robet raised an eyebrow at Madame Gao Madame Gao demeanor or expression. Robet understood that this old lady was probably like Master Roshi, a special kind of powerful individual who looked old but whose fighting strength was still formidable.
"Old man? Young man, you are very disrespectful to me..." Madame Gao's eyes narrowed as she looked at Robet, who was speaking with a kind expression. Suddenly, her cane launched a sneak attack, stabbing towards Robet's eye.
With a "whoosh!" sound, Robet's reaction was much faster than Madame Gao had imagined. Robet tilted his head to the side, dodging the stab, and then swung his fist at Madame Gao's body.
"Huh?!" Madame Gao was startled. She changed her stance and swung her cane at Robet's head, while simultaneously using her other hand to meet Robet's fist, trying to deflect Robet force.
With a loud "bang!", unfortunately, Madame Gao's palm technique failed to neutralize Robet's powerful force. Her body was sent flying, and even the attack with her cane was ineffective.
"This is no easy feat!" Robet didn't immediately pursue Madame Gao this time, but instead muttered to himself with some emotion, "This is the first time since I came to this world that I've encountered someone whose displayed aura and actual strength are comparable to their defense!"
In this world where ki cannot accurately predict combat strength, Robet's ki perception has become a tool for detecting enemy locations, losing the ability to estimate enemy strength. Kara's ki has now been surpassed by Robet, but Kara's speed, strength, and defense are all greater Robet's.
Madame Gao was the first person Robet encountered whose aura and actual strength were not far apart!
With a "smack!", on the other side, Madame Gao did a somersault in mid-air, landing on the ground and taking several steps back to dissipate the force of Robet's punch. She watched Robet warily, but at that moment, Robet's body disappeared from her sight...
"Whoosh!" The next moment, Robet's afterimage appeared, and Madame Gao's pupils shrank slightly. Her cane instinctively thrust out!
Thank you to "Ye Zi Bo Tao" for the 100 Qidian Coins, and thank you to all the readers for your monthly tickets and recommendations! Thank you so much!
Let's stick to today's update schedule and see how it goes. We'll see if we can update more later, once the average daily subscriptions break 500 and stabilize around 600. Otherwise, even if we update more, we won't be able to get on the power rankings (T^T).
The average daily subscription for new chapters is only around 400...
