Awakening, Mastering Thunder!

The scene of Qing Chen "climbing" against the current to the top of the underground river's stone wall truly shocked Kamiyo Yunhe.

Although I was angry, I never imagined that someone could be so tenacious.

If there is enough oxygen and if the boy doesn't get lost in this underground river, he can indeed climb back to the entrance little by little.

It's much more reliable than swimming back.

But in Kamiyo Yunhe's view...

This is simply impossible.

Because he didn't know that Qing Chen would never get lost, nor did he know that Qing Chen's current Knight True Qi was enough to support the other party's breathing underwater for four hours.

Kamiyo Yunhe coldly watched the boy clinging to the top of the stone wall and sneered.

There was only one Artificial Gill, and he had no intention of sharing it with Qing Chen.

Bringing Qing Chen back to the North alive was the mission assigned to him by the conglomerate.

But if he gives the Artificial Gill to Qing Chen, and the boy then tries to die together by destroying the Artificial Gill, then he too will die in the underground river.

Humans are both powerful and fragile; without oxygen, even a demigod could not survive for more than thirty minutes.

Kamiyo Yunhe terrified. Logically, the boy should have seized every opportunity to survive and preserve the Artificial Gill.

But you can't judge a person who has gone mad using common sense.

Therefore, Kamiyo Yunhe no longer intends to save Qing Chen; he wants to take the boy's drowned body back to the conglomerate.

He spurred the Overlord Salamander quickly charge forward in battle.

Qing Chen seemed surprised that Kamiyo Yunhe had found a solution to the oxygen problem so quickly.

Before the Overlord Salamander could charge at him, he was forced to use a kick to get off the stone wall.

My body was swept downstream by the swift current.

As he brushed past Overlord Salamander, its short, flat claws grazed the boy, leaving three deep, bone-revealing bloody marks on Qing Chen's body.

The blood was washed away by the river as soon as it flowed out. Qing Chen felt himself getting weaker and weaker, and he might fall into shock due to excessive blood loss.

Qing Chen understood that Kamiyo Yunhe no longer wanted to leave himself alive!

To be on the safe side, the other party wants to kill him directly!

Qing Chen was unwilling to accept this.

He wasn't unwilling to die.

Everyone must die eventually.

He was unwilling to be the only one to die.

When a knight dies, someone must be buried with him.

Qing Chen swam quickly, and the nanobots even condensed a pair of webbed feet on his soles so that he could swim even faster.

However, no matter how fast a person swims in the water, they can't possibly be faster than Overlord Salamander.

At this moment, the Overlord Salamander had turned around, and Kamiyo Yunhe's face was ashen; he had lost his patience.

Wait a minute, Qing Chen suddenly saw a black shadow on the left side in front of the underground river. It was a small fork in the underground river!

In a moment of carelessness, Qing Chen swam in with all his might and squeezed in. He could squeeze in, but the Overlord Salamander's enormous size made it impossible for it to squeeze in.

Kamiyo Yunhe rode on the back of the Overlord Salamander, he coldly watched the boy in the cave. As soon as he approached, the boy shrank back a little.

However, Qing Chen did not venture rashly into the depths of the black hole, because once he took the wrong turn in that intricate underground river of the cave, there would be no chance.

Qing Chen touched the wound, trying to use the nanobots to fill it up, but the nanobots had already consumed too much energy during the previous battle and were powerless to do so.

He felt his body gradually getting cold.

He looked at the Kamiyo Yunhe.

Kamiyo Yunhe a cold smile, wanting to see how long Qing Chen could hold his breath.

But in that instant, the boy closed his eyes.

"The last meter."

"It's your own path."

In the darkness, every pore on Qing Chen's body opened up.

Breathing with all my might.

Am I going to die?

Are we destined to sink into this dark underground river?

There are still many things left undone.

There are still many people I haven't met.

There are still many good times ahead.

There's still a long way to go.

He knew that Kamiyo Yunhe was not dead and had a backup plan.

But in that instant, nothing else mattered.

Qing Chen used all his strength, letting every pore on his body breathe freely.

Your life is a long journey, during which people will come and people will leave.

Chaoyang (Sunrise).

Sunset.

Those scenes will all fade away from you.

But if there is anything in this world that can accompany us forever, it must be faith.

Life is a long journey. If you want to live, Qing Chen must open his mind and body and breathe in his life.

And there is that power that has always been dormant deep within life.

When he first faced Life and Death Trial, something was lurking, almost as if it were unlocked along with his Gene Lock.

The second time I jumped into Weiyang Lake, the feeling became even clearer.

However, the third Life and Death Trial disappointed Qing Chen. He did not feel the long-lost life and death on the ocean or beneath the Dark God Kingdom, and the dormant power also remained silent.

Qing Chen should have realized at that time that he had taken a wrong turn in the world of Conquer by Virtue.

He shouldn't have turned the path of chivalry into a certainty.

Now, the young man is walking back through hardship, picking up the scenery he once missed, and making up for what was missing in those times...

Complete them one by one.

And so, that power reappeared.

Is this what life and death are?

Qing Chen felt death and danger approaching little by little in the darkness, but his heart was filled with joy.

Moment.

Thunderclap rumbled through his bones, booming, scattering, and bursting forth!

A golden light rippled, meandered, and surged between the muscles!

He trekked a journey, looked back on the journey, and gazed into the distance!

It's like a new form of spiritual practice, not about spiritual attainment, but about cultivating one's character.

The lost boy finally found everything he had lost!

Only faith and the sun and moon are eternal.

A brilliant young man, whose body wields the power of thunder.

In the dark river, Kamiyo Yunhe waited quietly.

He could have left the Overlord Salamander and entered the side cave to hunt down Qing Chen, but for some reason, when he tried to get close to the boy, a trace of fear rose in the heart of this dignified A-level expert.

He worried that the boy was still putting on an act, that the boy still had a trump card up his sleeve, and that he might be caught off guard and sink into eternal slumber in this underground river.

Only the Overlord Salamander beneath him could give him a sense of security.

Along the way, Kamiyo Yunhe tried everything he could to destroy Qing Chen's will, but all his efforts failed.

Not only did he fail to break Qing Chen's will, but he also launched repeated counterattacks against him!

At one point, Kamiyo Yunhe had a misconception: this boy was invincible.

Thinking of all this, a sense of shame rose in Kamiyo Yunhe's heart. Being forced to this point by a mere C-Class had broken his mental state.

Just as Shadow once said, conglomerates sometimes resort to despicable means to play psychological warfare: once they discover that a rival family has a prodigy, they will try to create setbacks for that genius.

If a genius fails to overcome that setback, they will become just another ordinary person.

There are too many people in this world who give up and never recover, and geniuses are no exception.

Kamiyo Yunhe knew very well that even if he returned safely to the North this time, with this knot in his heart, he would not be able to make any further progress in his cultivation level.

He was furious.

He never imagined that a mere C-Class would ruin his state of mind!

Even so, Kamiyo Yunhe still didn't dare to kill Qing Chen with his own hands. He just waited quietly outside the black hole, waiting for Qing Chen to drown on his own.

Qing Chen's will was not destroyed, but Kamiyo Yunhe's will was in grave danger.

But something unexpected happened. Two full minutes passed, and instead of seeing Qing Chen die, Kamiyo Yunhe was greeted by a golden light.

Kamiyo Yunhe looked on in astonishment and discovered that golden light was emanating from the gaps in Qing Chen's tightly closed eyes, with wisps of golden arcs floating in the water.

As they got closer, Kamiyo Yunhe felt a tingling sensation on his skin.

Suddenly, Qing Chen opened his eyes. Kamiyo Yunhe saw a pair of golden eyes staring at him from the dark side cave, as if they contained the gods of ancient times.

"Awakened?!" Kamiyo Yunhe was extremely surprised.

He never expected that at the moment when his own state of mind was almost destroyed, the other party's state of mind would become stronger and stronger, even breaking the rule that cultivators find difficult to awaken!

Generally speaking, spiritual practice is a process of releasing the body's potential, so once the potential is released, it will not awaken again.

After awakening, cultivation will be extremely slow.

This is also why Liu Dezhu's cultivation speed is slower than others.

If it weren't for someone giving him a spiritual boost, Liu Dezhu wouldn't even be able to complete the entire cycle of Qi circulation independently, let alone cultivate his Qi channels.

However, this rule failed to apply to Qing Chen.

A person who has cultivated to C-Class can awaken again—what terrifying potential that is!?

If this boy is spared, many people will likely lose sleep in the future!

But thinking of this, instead of having any murderous intent, Kamiyo Yunhe felt a surge of fear, and his soul trembled as he urged the Overlord Salamander to fly away at top speed.

Kamiyo Yunhe knew that even if the boy awakened, he most likely wouldn't achieve a major breakthrough.

Human potential is not limitless. If one's cultivation level is C-Class, the abilities one might awaken are only D-Class or E-Class.

But Kamiyo Yunhe couldn't shake off his fear. The boy was like a piece of chewing gum, impossible to break apart, impossible to chew, impossible to get rid of!

But then, in the dark side cave, golden arcs of electricity swirled around the boy, making the dark underground river as bright as day!

He opened his golden eyes and shot out of the cave like a sharp arrow.

The roles of prey and hunter have been miraculously reversed!

Qing Chen swam with all his might, trying to catch up with the Overlord Salamander.

However, in the next moment, the ferocious Overlord Salamander suddenly slowed down, and its huge tail fin lashed out, striking Qing Chen directly and slamming him against the stone wall of the underground river, knocking him unconscious.

Kamiyo Yunhe sneered again. The young genius was still too naive and did not understand the ever-changing methods of killing.

He rode his Overlord Salamander slowly toward Qing Chen, but in that instant, the boy opened his eyes again, the golden light captivating.

Kamiyo Yunhe's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the golden gaze was as solemn as a god's.

The Overlord Salamander charged fiercely at Qing Chen, but the boy neither dodged nor avoided it.

Qing Chen raised his hand and pointed in the water.

It was as if a divine decree had been issued.

With a loud bang.

The boy was swept into the dark water by the Overlord Salamander.

But the golden arc of light that burst from his fingertips pierced through the water and headed straight for Kamiyo Yunhe's chest!

Kamiyo Yunhe tried to raise his hand to block, but he only felt a numbness in his arm. He looked down at his arm in astonishment, where Qing Chen had hit him with his hair earlier.

The hair didn't pierce his arm, but it precisely struck the radial nerve plexus in his arm!

The tiny nanorobots attached to the hair entered the body of Kamiyo Yunhe through the wound, attempting to destroy the nerve plexus with their remaining bioenergy.

This injury will not have a substantial impact on Grade A, but it will cause temporary movement impairment in the forearm, palm, and wrist of Kamiyo Yunhe.

Even 0.2 seconds is enough.

Golden arcs of light radiated across the water, but ultimately reached Kamiyo Yunhe.

Kamiyo Yunhe felt that the golden arc of light was not very powerful, but it made his whole body stiffen for a moment!

In the darkness, he suddenly saw golden light flashing like lightning, and the boy's face, which was turning in the water, was still smiling!

It was exceptionally bright!

Instead of taking the opportunity to escape, Qing Chen went against the current and arrived in front of Kamiyo Yunhe in the blink of an eye!

Let it scatter with the Thunderclap!

In that dazzling world of the future, the name of Kamiyo Yunhe!

At this moment.

With his body stiff, Kamiyo Yunhe quickly dodged to the left. He felt the strands of hair between the boy's fingers slice right through his arm.

Bone and flesh, falling apart in the blink of an eye!

Kamiyo Yunhe's arm was severed in half!

If he hadn't dodged quickly, those strands of hair would have severed his head. The hair between his fingers was far sharper than the ones that had shot out before!

Kamiyo Yunhe swung his left arm, thinking he could force Qing Chen back, but Qing Chen still didn't retreat. Instead, he flicked out a wisp of golden lightning from his fingertip, heading straight for Kamishiro's face.

Kamiyo Yunhe instinctively turned his head to dodge, but the lightning was spreading in the water and there was no way to avoid it; wherever there is water, there is lightning.

But he suddenly realized something was wrong; the golden lightning seemed to have lost its power, at most causing a slight numbness in his face.

Wrong!

Wrong!

Kamiyo Yunhe realized something was wrong!

The golden arc of light wasn't meant to strike him, but rather it hit the Artificial Gill he was biting in his mouth.

The Artificial Gill that used the principle of electrolytic oxygen separation were instantly destroyed. Unexpectedly, Kamiyo Yunhe inhaled a mouthful of ice water, which almost went into his lungs!

It turns out that the boy knew that even if he awakened, he still couldn't match an A-level expert, so he still focused his attention on the keyword "oxygen".

He knew from the beginning that all he needed to do was destroy Kamiyo Yunhe's oxygen supply equipment, Kamiyo Yunhe would be unable to fight anymore!

Thanks to the power of nature.

Thank you, world!

Qing Chen closed his eyes An Xin and drifted with the current, completely plunging into darkness.

Knowing that his time was running out, Kamiyo Yunhe did not chase after Qing Chen. Instead, he urged the Overlord Salamander to swim frantically upstream. In his panic, he tried to return to the entrance of the underground river before the oxygen ran out!

But soon, Kamiyo Yunhe realized that there was no more oxygen in his blood.

He knew it was all in vain.

His eyes widened in disbelief; he never imagined he would be outmaneuvered by a mere C-Class!

The difference in their strength was like heaven and earth; they were clearly ants that he could crush with one hand!

Gradually, the face of the A-level expert began to swell, his eyes became bloodshot, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.

Before plunging into complete darkness, Kamiyo Yunhe subconsciously glanced in the direction Qing Chen had drifted away, where only darkness remained and no trace of the boy remained.

Etc.

As if struck by a sudden thought, Kamiyo Yunhe commanded the Overlord Salamander to open its massive maw and swallow him whole!

There is another air-filled area inside the abdomen of this Overlord Salamander, which is where the salamander controls its buoyancy!

Half an hour later, the giant Overlord Salamander quickly crawled out of the entrance, the place where Kamiyo Yunhe had taken Qing Chen into the water.

Suddenly, the enormous Overlord Salamander opened its blood-red maw and spat out the dying Kamiyo Yunhe.

The A-level expert sat up in a disheveled state, panting heavily. He was almost fainting from the stench emanating from the Overlord Salamander's abdomen.

His skin was also corroded and pitted all over his body.

After an unknown amount of time, Kamiyo Yunhe roared in the dark cave!

What a humiliation!

It hurts!

He looked at his severed arm, the cut already corroded by the fluids from the salamander's abdominal cavity. No matter how advanced the technology, it was impossible to reattach the severed limb; the only option was to install a mechanical limb.

Kamiyo Yunhe furious, but soon he heard someone shouting above the cave, as if someone had already chased after him.

He was startled. How could the people who came to rescue Qing Chen have arrived so quickly?!

With no time to think, Kamiyo Yunhe put on another set of diving equipment from the shore, sat on the salamander's back, and dived into the water again, filled with hatred and anger.
