"Captain!!" Guo Ren, witnessing this scene, was filled with rage and wanted to check on Luo Chao, but he was barely able to protect himself. As an Earth Ability User, he could sustain himself only with his strong defensive capabilities, and his opponent didn't give him any chance to leave the battle, forcing him back with two consecutive strikes.
"Cough cough~~ I'm fine..." Luo Chao waved his hand, signaling Guo Ren to focus on the fight and not get distracted. With difficulty, he propped himself up with the Green Forest Sword and assud a defensive posture.
"Why didn't you dodge?" Zhen Wu Liangsen was puzzled. With Luo Chao's abilities, he should have easily dodged such an attack. At the very least, he should have been able to block it. How could he have taken that kick unguarded?
"Because I was preparing a move to finish you off in one blow!!" Luo Chao grinned, showing his blood-stained teeth, and revealed his reason.
As expected, Zhen Wu Liangsen didn't believe him at all. "I'm waiting!" he sneered before rushing forward.
Since Luo Chao was now severely injured, Zhen Wu Liangsen saw no reason to miss this opportunity. He launched a storm of attacks, his fists and feet raining down on Luo Chao like drops of rain.
At this mont, the potion's effects hadn't worn off yet, and Luo Chao couldn't muster a formidable counterattack due to the intense pain in his head. He could only protect his vital spots from being hit as best as he could.
Fortunately, Zhen Wu Liangsen seed to find it more satisfying to puml Luo Chao with his fists rather than using the enormous machete, which gave Luo Chao so ti.
He had already realized that his Spiritual Sense had beco remarkably powerful, expanding from a range of one hundred ters to five hundred ters, but it still wasn't stopping, continuing further...
Six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred... The pain in his head beca nearly unbearable, and his physical injuries were worsening...
Ti seed to stretch on for centuries, but finally, the pain in his head began to recede, and Luo Chao felt clearer than he ever had before.
Spiritual Sense can be considered a manifestation of Spiritual Power; the stronger the Spiritual Power, the stronger the Spiritual Sense.
No longer distracted by the painful headache, Luo Chao was finally able to unleash his power and mount a counterattack.
After blocking Zhen Wu Liangsen's knee strike with crossed arms once again, Luo Chao began his counterattack, thrusting the Green Forest Sword to open a bloody gash on the outer thigh of Zhen Wu Liangsen.
"So you've finally started to fight back? I thought you had given up!" he said nonchalantly, glancing at his wounded area.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed his Spiritual Sense to its maximum, finding he could now detect a range of up to a thousand ters, an increase of tenfold. Normally, only soone at the Foundation Establishnt Stage could achieve such a range, leaving him with a sense of admiration for Zhao Hanxue, who had managed to create sothing so extraordinary.
In reality, this had little to do with Zhao Hanxue. Superpower Users existed in ancient tis too, but they were considered rare physiques and not given much attention, as everyone focused on Cultivation and Foundation Establishnt.
Luo Chao gained his Spiritual Sense through cultivation and then awakened his superpower, which happened to be a Spiritual System superpower. This resonance led him to consu the Superpower Potion, pushing the effects to their utmost, resulting in his current abnormal state where his Realm didn't match his Spiritual Sense.
It must be said that Luo Chao's luck was exceptionally good. If it had been another Superpower or Physical Body Class, they might not have been so powerful.
The significant increase in his Spiritual Sense gave Luo Chao imnse confidence in defeating his opponent. Previously worried about overusing his Spiritual Sense leading to ntal fatigue, Luo Chao had rarely used it to control his Flying Sword. Now, he had no such concerns.
Moreover, he had beco increasingly sensitive, able to sense the slightest twitch of Zhen Wu Liangsen's muscles, allowing him to anticipate the direction and strength of the opponent's attacks. Even if Luo Chao's speed and strength were inferior, he could dodge the attacks in advance and seize opportunities to retaliate.
The battle resud, but now Zhen Wu Liangsen found it hard to land a hit on Luo Chao, his attacks always dodged. However, Luo Chao took the potion to end the fight swiftly, not to engage in an exchange of blows back and forth.
The Green Forest Sword flashed green light as Luo Chao wielded it left and right, sotis throwing it into the air to control it with his Spiritual Sense to attack. Now, Zhen Wu Liangsen was having a hard ti coping.
He had never encountered this style of combat before; though East Japan also had so long-range soldiers controlled with chains, they were not as dexterous and enigmatic as Luo Chao's Flying Sword manipulation, appearing and disappearing like dealing with two opponents at once. In no ti, his body was covered with many cuts.
"What kind of Demon Technique is this?!" he finally couldn't hold back, roaring in anger, pulling out his blade to sweep it around, temporarily forcing Luo Chao back.
"Now's the ti." Luo Chao seized on his unstable ntal state, imdiately taking advantage, focusing all his Spiritual Power to a point, and silently shouted to himself: "Spiritual Thorn!!"
With an imnse concentration of Spiritual Energy, Luo Chao directed it through his eyes, attacking his opponent's mind. As Spiritual Power is formless and intangible, Zhen Wu Liangsen couldn't see it, nor could he dodge it.
"Ahhh!!" Zhen Wu Liangsen scread in agony, clutching his head, his eyes exposed through his mask instantly turned red, and blood tears started flowing.
He was now experiencing the sa pain Luo Chao had just endured, but a hundred tis more intense.
The reason for this was that Luo Chao had used a small Dharma Gate known to cultivators to control and compress the imnse Spiritual Power into an unperceivable Spiritual Thorn, concentrating power into a single point to breach the surface, thereby dramatically increasing its lethality.
Everyone has Spiritual Power, only varying in magnitude. For Superpower Users, aside from unpredictable exceptions in the Spiritual System, typically the stronger they are, the more potent their Spiritual Power is.
All skills that utilize Spiritual Power are particularly mysterious and powerful, like the Moon Reading Technique used by Inoue Matsushita or Luo Chao's Spiritual Thorn, all of which are highly unpredictable and hard to defend against.
They also share a common trait: they inflict significant harm on themselves.
The reason people can beco strong mainly boils down to three aspects: Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Spirit refers to Spiritual Power. Using Spiritual Power to harm an enemy is beneficial if successful but causes severe backlash if it fails. Defense is, after all, much easier than offense.
Last ti, Inoue Matsushita utilized the Moon Reading Technique to restrain both Luo Chao and Long Dian but was left exhausted and unable to continue fighting due to insufficient Spiritual Power.
Though Luo Chao's current Spiritual Power far surpasses what Inoue had back then, he remained cautious, choosing to strike only when Zhen Wu Liangsen's ntal state was unstable, increasing his success rate and conserving Spiritual Power.
Zhen Wu Liangsen's spirit was now chaotic, nearly maddened, as the excruciating pain left him barely conscious. Luo Chao wouldn't miss this opportunity; the Green Forest Sword whistled as it flew, twirling around his neck, and the next mont, his large head was severed and fell to the ground.
