Chapter summary

Plot and events

Lin Luo demonstrates his power by breaking through Tatsumaki’s psychic attack. To avoid damaging the villa, he transports himself, Tatsumaki, Fubuki, and Psykos to a deserted wilderness. Tatsumaki then launches a series of increasingly powerful assaults: shock waves, a lifted mountain, barrages of rubble, and space-twisting psychokinesis. Lin Luo counters each with cursed power and lightning, remaining unharmed. Though he urges Tatsumaki to admit defeat and become his “master,” she refuses and rises into the sky, promising to show her full strength.

Tatsumaki begins confident in her overwhelming psychic abilities but grows wary and bewildered as Lin Luo repeatedly neutralizes her attacks. Her pride and refusal to back down keep her fighting.

Fubuki is caught in the initial clash and thrown against the villa wall, while Psykos helps shield them; neither plays a major role in the wilderness battle.
