Five little thunderballs circled merrily around Chen Mu, whose face looked more bitter than a bitter melon. Why on earth wouldn't these five little thunderballs disappear? By all rights, once he switched off his Wrist Device, they should have vanished.
Chen Mu got up from the floor and stood.
His elbow accidentally nudged the edge of the table. A cup perched higher up wobbled, lost its balance, and immediately rolled toward him.
Chen Mu was about to catch the cup when light suddenly flashed before his eyes. Like fish catching the scent of blood, the five little thunderballs shot toward the cup from every direction at once!
Bang! The cheaply made cup could never withstand an impact like that. It instantly shattered into countless fragments that flew in all directions.
What was going on?
The five little thunderballs' sudden attack took Chen Mu completely by surprise. He hadn't had time to react at all.
Seeing the fragments shooting toward him, Chen Mu was about to dodge when, with a crackle, an energy shield suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him. The fragments struck it in a dense chorus of crisp impacts.
Chen Mu stared blankly at the perfectly pentagonal energy shield. At each corner sat a little thunderball. Before he could work out what was happening, the energy shield vanished, and the five little thunderballs resumed their original roaming motion.
Fine porcelain dust drifted slowly down from the air in front of the dumbstruck Chen Mu's feet.
Watching the five little thunderballs, still as lively and mischievous as ever, Chen Mu felt as though his brain had short-circuited. The sight before him had completely overturned his existing understanding.
What... what was this?
The scene kept replaying in his mind, from the instant the cup rolled toward him
