Lushan Rising Dragon Strike

Everyone: "..."

"He's risking his life for comedy. Is he really not afraid of dying?!"

"What if I can't hold it together?!!"

"Yamero! Hao! You'll disappear!!"

"Hao's tragedy!! This is Hao's tragedy!!"

"...You can still keep throwing out jokes at a life-or-death moment like this. Man, you're something else."

"Forget about him. Saving our lives comes first."

The entire school, teachers and students alike, believed Uchiha was as good as dead.

"..."

On the field, Uchiha clenched his fists tightly, his palms drenched in sweat.

Saying he wasn't nervous would have been a lie.

[Hao energy +100]

[Hao energy +101]

[...]

[Current Hao energy: 9670.3]

Fuck!

Was there even enough time?!

His body felt numb!

Just then, a wonderful notification sounded!!

[ Ding. Congratulations, Host, for completing a special mission! ]

[ Superpower reward obtained: Invincible Golden Body! ]

"Phew—"

Uchiha finally got a moment to catch his breath. His arms were so sore he could barely raise them.

He stared fixedly at his palms and consoled himself:

"Hmph, how could this be sweat? See, I told you it was rainwater."

Everything was... over.

Closing his eyes, Uchiha shut out the outside world. In an instant, an extremely thin layer of golden armor covered his entire body.

A profound realization flooded his sea of consciousness—

For three seconds, I am invincible!!!

Uchiha slowly opened his eyes.

This time, his gaze had changed.

It was as though a towering Dharma form lay hidden deep within his pupils, ready to burst forth at any moment.

As long as he wanted to.

He could catch missiles with his bare hands.

Uchiha sneered at the heavens.

"Sorry, I pulled an SSR card."

"Get this straight. You're the challenger!!!"

Suddenly.

A blurry figure appeared before him.

Uchiha: "?"

"Y-you, why are you here?!"

This bizarre scene completely short-circuited Jiahao's brain.

Ayanokoji, wearing a hood, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

What fucking time was it, and he was still throwing punches?!

So you were just into pure love boxing?!

If you liked it that much, could you please move indoors?!

[Three.]

Ayanokoji directly grabbed Uchiha's elbow with one hand.

The next moment, a powerful pulling force suddenly tugged at the masked boy's elbow.

His vision blurred as the scenery around him rapidly shifted.

Ayanokoji was actually dragging him along as he ran. His feet left the ground, and he floated through the air like a kite.

What incredible strength!!

I see!!!

You have the same Kirin Arm too!!

"Uchiha, which part of your body is the toughest?"

"My kidneys," the masked boy answered instinctively.

The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them.

Because...

Ayanokoji swung his arm forward, tossing Uchiha into the air before viciously kicking out.

A sharp pain shot through his waist. By the time he came to his senses, he was already standing beside Kushida.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Kushida: "???"

Y-you learned Flash?!

Uchiha: "..."

What the hell?!

Ayanokoji, what are you doing?!!

I haven't even unleashed my ultimate yet!!

The masked boy angrily looked toward the plaza, but Ayanokoji was nowhere to be seen.

Are you from some ninja clan?!

No wonder you're the world's protagonist!!!

Seeing Jiahao had been rescued, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

"Though I have no idea what happened, it's still good that nobody died."

"For some reason, I feel a little disappointed. That ending was too uneventful..."

"You think this is a movie? This is what real life looks like. Where would all those high-octane scenes come from?!"

Kushida looked at Uchiha and couldn't help saying:

"You should thank that mysterious person properly. He saved you."

Uchiha bent down, his Kirin Arm pressing against the top step.

"Unnecessary."

After a pause, he didn't want to implicate an innocent person.

"If I don't leave, you'll die."

Kushida: "..."

No, how are you even more full of yourself than I am?!!

Have you reached the pinnacle of Hao already?!!

Kushida looked at Uchiha with utter annoyance and disdain.

Did he really think he had an impenetrable body?!

How could mortal flesh dare challenge lightning?!!

Nothing but a shut-in's fantasy before death!!

Then her beautiful eyes suddenly widened—

Wait, what are you doing again?!!

[Two.]

Uchiha violently shoved against the steps!!

With a deafening bang.

Propelled by the powerful recoil, his entire body shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

The sight left the surrounding students utterly dumbfounded!!!

"No, what does this guy have against living? Why is he going off to die again?!"

"Warning! Warning!! This isn't a movie!!"

"A thickheaded kid, a fearless honey badger!!"

Kushida's face went pale. Her entire body trembled as she collapsed onto the ground with her legs tucked beneath her.

"Are you insane?!"

She cried out in despair, "What the hell are you trying to do?!"

Uchiha didn't turn back.

"I'll block the lightning for you and repay what I owe."

"And..."

"Throw a punch."

"..."

Kushida froze. She had never seen such a bizarre person.

Her large adorable eyes suddenly narrowed darkly as she screamed:

"What do you mean, throw a punch?! You're just a slightly stronger Jiahao! What the hell are you pretending to be?!!!"

She had truly had enough of this man.

Why did he still have to act tough when death was right in front of him?!

Could acting tough save his life? Could it make the lightning storm disappear?

The rain poured down relentlessly.

Droplets ran down from Uchiha's hair.

He slowly pulled up his hood, obscuring his eyes.

"Is that so?"

Uchiha turned his head slightly.

"Then watch carefully."

"This punch will be very Hao."

Kushida stared blankly at that... somewhat imposing back.

Boom boom boom rumble!!!

Several bolts of lightning crashed down in rapid succession, blasting huge pits into the ground.

Broken bricks and mud splashed several stories into the air!

Crash!!!

The dark clouds pressed lower, and the wind and rain grew even fiercer.

Having just exerted all his strength to save Jiahao, Ayanokoji was now leaning against a wall with his hands on his knees, his breathing ragged and weak.

Just then, a figure suddenly entered the corner of his eye.

Hm?

That was...

Uchiha, Jiahao!!!

Fuck, I saved him for nothing.

I fucking fucking fucking!!

The only person in the world who could make me curse was you!!

Ayanokoji's pupils dilated wildly, and for the first time, despair appeared on his face.

"Danger! Run!!"

But Uchiha's next words left everyone stunned senseless.

"No need. This Taoist has made it."

"???"

Everyone's minds exploded at once!!!

"He's lost it, he's completely lost it."

"You're just an ordinary person. What are you using to fight lightning head-on?!"

Uchiha's expression remained calm as he raised his head slightly.

One man and one bolt of lightning stood less than a kilometer apart.

Facing each other amid the torrential rain.

[One.]

Rumble!!!

A pale bolt of lightning descended...

Striking Uchiha dead-on.

Everyone fell into despair and dejection.

It's over!

This time, he's really going to be turned into charcoal!!

Kushida's tears burst from her eyes. Damn it, in your next life, don't ever be Jiahao again!!!

"NO!!!"

Sakayanagi Narumori desperately reached out, wanting to do something, but he could not even protect his wig. How could he possibly protect a living person?!

Too late!!

Everything was too late!

[Reset to zero.]

At that moment, when everyone's hearts were breaking.

Uchiha raised his arm high.

"One punch shall decide heaven and earth."

"I want this sky to never again obscure my eyes!!!"

The next moment.

Under everyone's stunned gazes...

Uchiha unleashed a Serious Punch—Lushan Rising Dragon Strike.

BOOM!!!!!

A blinding white light instantly engulfed heaven and earth.

No one could see what had actually happened!

Except Yamada, who was wearing sunglasses...
