Sonically Enhanced Wave Echoes Act

This "blindness" wasn't a metaphor; he was genuinely blind.

The moment Li Qing entered Digitization Mode, his once clear and bright eyes vanished.

In their place was a milky white film completely obscuring his pupils.

After that, he couldn't see anything at all.

However, this wasn't a disability, but a genuine superpower:

Even though his eyes were useless, his hearing, smell, touch, and other senses had been enhanced tenfold in that instant.

Especially his hearing:

He could hear the breathing of every person in the room, the cries of every seagull outside the window.

He could clearly hear the hushed whispers of pedestrians on the street below, as well as the crashing waves of the distant sea.

Relying solely on his ears, Li Qing could accurately pinpoint enemies and track their every move.

Even more miraculously, he possessed a mysterious "sixth sense" that allowed him to perceive space through sound, confirming the general outline and precise location of every object and every life form.

"Huuu."

At that moment, Li Qing's enhanced hearing instantly detected Amor's breathing becoming ragged:

"Wait..."

"He's not bleeding, and he's not injured?!"

Amor was the first to notice the abnormality with Li Qing:

His two bullets had clearly pierced the opponent's knees, yet there was no blood or wound on his legs.

Furthermore, Li Qing's face showed not even a flicker of pain.

This was the terrifying aspect of Digitization Mode:

In this mode, Li Qing's body was no longer ordinary flesh and blood.

He was like a character in a game, unable to be injured or feel pain, only losing HP.

As long as his HP didn't drop to zero, he wouldn't die, let alone be crippled.

Amor's plan to cripple Li Qing with bullets was simply impossible.

"Damn it!"

"Stand Users are indeed troublesome."

Amor cursed under his breath, then decisively took two large steps back.

The four men in black behind him didn't just stand there dumbfounded.

One of the quicker subordinates had already attached a silencer to his pistol. As soon as Amor stepped back to clear his line of sight, he abruptly raised his gun and attacked Li Qing.

"Hmm?"

Li Qing heard the sudden acceleration of the subordinate's heartbeat and the faint rush of air as he raised his gun.

His physical condition remained unchanged; only his senses had become much sharper.

But that was enough.

Thanks to this extraordinary perception, Li Qing had already predicted where the subordinate's gun would aim and when he would pull the trigger, even before the muzzle was raised.

With a sidestep and a dodge, he deftly evaded the bullet before it was even fired.

Bang!

With a muffled sound from the silencer, the bullet missed its target and hit the wall.

While Li Qing dodged the bullet, a hint of joy surged in Amor's eyes:

"He dodged, he dodged!"

"Excellent..."

"Alright, boys, open fire!"

Amor calmly issued his orders, but one of the subordinates couldn't help but voice his doubt:

"Boss, aren't we running yet?"

"This guy is still jumping around after taking bullets; how can we deal with a monster like this!"

Only a Stand can defeat a Stand.

When facing a Stand User, the best option for an ordinary person is to turn and run.

The subordinates in black were flustered by Li Qing's strange "bullet-defying" ability, but Amor showed no panic:

"Idiot! Why run?"

"If this bald guy was truly unkillable, why would he have dodged just now, and why would he be running now?"

"Since he dodged, it means our bullets are effective."

"Also, are you blind?"

"Open your eyes wide and watch—"

Amor pointed at Li Qing and said, "Look at that bald guy's head!"

"His head?"

Under their boss's direction, the thugs in black took a closer look and were all shocked:

"Th-this…"

"Why is there a red bar floating above that bald guy's head?"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Li Qing's expression changed slightly:

A red bar? There's a red bar floating above my head?

Could it be…

He had a bad premonition—was that his health bar?!

That's right.

Li Qing had only just awakened his abilities, so he didn't know this yet:

Just like how every hero in League of Legends has a health bar displayed above their head, at this very moment, that health bar was floating clearly above Li Qing's head in a sort of holographic projection.

Both 'teammates' and 'enemies' could see the health bar suspended above Li Qing's head.

His current health status was as obvious as a louse on a bald man's head—plain for all to see.

"If I'm not mistaken…"

Amor quickly deduced the meaning of the "red bar":

"Although that bald guy's Stand ability can 'immune him to injury and dismemberment,' it can't immune him to damage."

"There must be a limit to the damage he can withstand, and that floating 'red bar' above his head shows his…"

"Health!"

Thanks to the booming development of video games in the late 20th century, all those young guys in their late teens and early twenties immediately understood Amor's thought process:

"It's like the health displayed above a character's head in a video game!"

"And this bald guy…"

The men in black glanced at the health bar above Li Qing's head:

"After those two shots just now, he's already lost about 30% of his health!"

"Exactly!"

Amor nodded with satisfaction and shouted:

"Stop standing around, all of you! Open fire on him together!"

"Yes!"

The four burly men in black nodded in unison, hastily turning their gun muzzles to surround Li Qing.

They and Amor were currently all standing on one side of the room, firmly guarding the exit, while also using their gun muzzles to seal off all space around Li Qing.

Even with Li Qing's superhuman perception, it would be difficult to break through such a dense blockade of firepower.

"Ah, well…"

"So they can all see my health."

Li Qing shook his head helplessly, but his expression remained unperturbed:

It was a shame he couldn't use the trick of "immortality" to fool them anymore.

However, if it came down to a direct fight, he wasn't afraid.

Because the abilities he now possessed, besides Data Body and Superhuman Perception, also included a system skill, a system skill unique to the hero "Blind Monk."

"Skill points, Sonically Enhanced Wave/Echoes Act!"

Li Qing allocated his only skill point to the iconic Q skill of the "Blind Monk" in the game.

[Sonically Enhanced Wave]: "Li Qing emits a piercing sonic wave to locate the target, dealing minor damage to the first target hit. If Sonically Enhanced Wave hits a target, Li Qing can cast Echoes Act."

[Echoes Act]: "Li Qing dashes to the target hit by Sonically Enhanced Wave, dealing significant damage."

(Cooldown: 7 seconds)

(Range: 300 meters)

(The Sonically Enhanced Wave mark persists, only disappearing when Li Qing uses Echoes Act or actively cancels the skill effect.)

(The specific damage value of the skill is determined by the player's base strength)

Li Qing chose this skill because it had the powerful effect of combining ranged attack and rapid engagement, effectively solving his current predicament of "being too short to reach the enemy."

"Sonically Enhanced Wave!"

Sensing that the enemy was about to pull the trigger, Li Qing quickly used the ability he had just acquired in this split second.

His fist hadn't even left his hand, but a faint white light had already begun to shimmer on his knuckles.

In an instant, this white light condensed into a brilliant, dazzling ball of light, which then flew forward rapidly and straight along Li Qing's fist wind.

Although the skill description for Sonically Enhanced Wave stated it "emits a piercing sonic wave," in reality, the "sonic wave" Li Qing unleashed was, just like in the game, a dazzling ball of light visible to everyone.

Even after the Sonically Enhanced Wave hit the man in black, a very distinct, white glowing pattern appeared on his body.

This was not a good sign.

The ball of light was visible to everyone, and the fluorescent mark that appeared after being hit was even more obvious, allowing anyone to instantly understand its meaning.

With Amor's keen eyesight, he could probably figure out the mechanism of "Sonically Enhanced Wave" and "Echoes Act" after observing it just once.

And what was even more troublesome...

Li Qing originally wanted to capture the leader first, attacking Amor directly.

But Amor was extremely cautious and didn't give Li Qing any chance to take advantage of him:

As he retreated earlier, he had already quietly hidden behind those tall, burly subordinates in black. Now, he was using the robust bodies of his subordinates as cover, while meticulously observing Li Qing's every move with his sharp, falcon-like eyes.

Li Qing couldn't attack Amor directly, so he could only target the subordinate in black standing in front of him with "Sonically Enhanced Wave."

Although the ball of light from "Sonically Enhanced Wave" was obvious, its flight speed was not slow.

Before the subordinate in black could even raise his gun to fire, he was hit in the chest by the "Sonically Enhanced Wave's" targeting light.

"Urk!"

The subordinate in black let out a soft cry of pain, but only felt a slight numbness in his chest:

"What was that?"

"Startled me, but it didn't hurt at all."

He muttered carelessly but didn't notice at all that a white glowing pattern had already appeared on his chest.

Amor immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He didn't know why he, an ordinary person, could see the opponent's "Stand ability," but after seeing that obviously abnormal white light mark, he sensed the danger at the first moment:

"Careful!"

"This white light mark is definitely problematic!"

Amor instinctively retreated further into the distance while warning the subordinate whose chest was glowing white.

But it was too late to say anything now.

"Echoes Act!"

The moment the targeting mark appeared on the chest of the man in black, Li Qing instantly activated the second stage of this ability.

At this moment, his figure suddenly transformed into a gust of wind.

Li Qing unleashed a terrifying speed that even he himself was shocked by, violently cutting through a straight, ethereal line, leaving behind an afterimage that ordinary people's eyes couldn't see.

In just a flash, he directly charged in front of the man in black who had been marked.

Then, the next moment...

Fist power erupted!

Before the phantom of a bald head reflected in the subordinate's pupils could even take shape, a fist too fast to be countered had already slammed into his chest.

This punch was like a cannonball, like a giant hammer, easily smashing and shattering his muscular chest.

He didn't even have time to cry out in pain before he violently spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground half-dead.

"This..."

Amor instinctively felt fear at the speed and power Li Qing had unleashed:

"This is his true Stand ability... It's terrifying!"

"No... I can't be afraid."

"If I'm afraid, I'll truly lose."

"Calm down, observe carefully, there must be a way to deal with him!"

He tried his best to adjust his mindset, diligently observing everything that was happening to Li Qing.

"Hmm?"

In this fleeting moment, Amor noticed the most significant change on Li Qing's face:

"His eyes have turned completely white, and his pupils can't be found."

"Which means..."

"He's blind right now!"
