Capítulo 241: Chapter 241: Am I Strong? Strong Like Steel!
Lin Fan raised his hands, assuming a fighting stance. He was puzzled as to why he did this, as if it were a habitual action. After careful consideration, he realized it stemmed from the Fist Scripture he'd obtained in the dream realm.
It had become so ingrained, a part of his being, that the habitual movement was hard to break.
"Master Yongxin, are we going to die here?" a technician asked miserably.
"Amitabha, this old monk doesn't know either."
As far as Master Yongxin was concerned, Who should I ask? The situation was complicated. He strongly believed Lin Fan could defeat the evil being before them, but the creature exuded an aura of invincibility, as if it were an existence beyond human defeat.
The technician said, "Even some words of comfort would be nice."
Master Yongxin glanced at him, thinking, If I comfort you, who will comfort me? For the sake of fairness, shared fear was the best outcome.
The other department elites deeply felt the disparity between themselves and the evil being.
They felt something was amiss.
It seemed they were misunderstood. They had come to protect the technicians while they examined the deep pit in Mount Tai. Yet, the evil being seemed to have mistaken them for humanity's chosen heroes, sent to fight a final, deadly battle.
They had inexplicably been nominated as humanity's saviors.
Lin Fan remained oblivious to this misunderstanding.
But they had noticed this terrifying and awkward situation.
Lin Fan brandished his fists, his power surging. Having mastered the Fist Scripture, he unleashed a strength he couldn't have previously imagined. As he threw a punch, the space around him distorted, creating shockwaves.
In an instant, the evil being, Chi, and Lin Fan were locked in combat. Their speed was blinding, turning them into blurs. Muffled sonic booms constantly erupted around the previously tranquil area.
"I didn't expect the ancient Fist Scripture to be passed down, and even cultivated to perfection. Worthy of being humanity's chosen hero, you are qualified to fight me," Chi roared. He didn't dodge or flinch, meeting every blow head-on. Seizing a moment when Lin Fan didn't evade, Chi slammed a palm into him.
Lin Fan paused briefly, then retaliated with a heavy punch to Chi's face.
Both maintained their stances.
The ferocity in Chi's eyes intensified. His lips curled back, revealing sharp, glinting teeth. He spun, his leg whipping out with a sonic boom, striking Lin Fan's neck hard.
Even a King-level expert would be instantly killed by such a blow.
But to Chi's astonishment, Lin Fan's reaction was swift. Chi had expected him to dodge or block, but Lin Fan didn't flinch. Instead, he mirrored Chi's move, his leg whipping out to strike Chi's neck with equal force.
The impact was heavy. Chi's supporting foot cracked the ground, and his body tilted slightly.
"Why are you copying me?" Chi asked.
Lin Fan replied, "Fairness."
Chi was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter, his expression bordering on madness. "Good, what a strange human. Since you want fairness, let's continue."
Their fight continued, lacking finesse, but the sheer power on display filled onlookers with despair.
Master Yongxin trembled. He watched closely as Lin Fan and Chi abandoned any semblance of technique, opting for brutal, head-on collisions. The victor would be the one who could endure the longest.
"Do you think a human body can withstand such a fight?"
"We certainly couldn't, but it's hard to say about him."
As they discussed this, the situation changed.
Chi seemed to unleash a terrifying ultimate move, sending Lin Fan flying. Mid-flight, Lin Fan coughed up blood, chilling Master Yongxin to the bone.
"Lin Fan..." Old Zhang, seeing Lin Fan injured, was enraged and about to rush in to fight.
Master Yongxin immediately stopped him. "Don't be foolish, you'll die for sure."
He couldn't understand Old Zhang's thinking. Who gave you the courage? How could he dare to charge into such a battle? Wasn't he afraid of being pulverized with a single punch?
Xiao Bao, his face flushed, yelled, "Lin Fan, come on!"
Then he turned to his bodyguards. "All of you, cheer him on!"
The bodyguards, already terrified, obeyed the young master's order without hesitation.
"Lin Fan, come on!"
"Lin Fan, come on!"
Logically, the evil rooster should have been the happiest, but it wasn't. It could brag to anyone that it was the evil hero who tricked the humans into coming here.
But it felt that if Lin Fan lost, its own death wouldn't be far behind.
The label of "traitor" had spread among the other evil beings, and clearing its name wouldn't be easy.
How frustrating. What should I do?
"Human, you are strong, you've truly impacted me. But your strength is only invincible among humans. Against me, you are still lacking."
Chi stood amidst the debris, arms crossed, coldly observing the scene. A gentle breeze blew past, stopping abruptly as it reached him, as if even the wind dared not touch him.
The three evil beings standing at the edge of the pit remained motionless, watching silently.s coming here to fight a decisive battle was nothing new.
They had all experienced it before.
This time, however, there were so few humans, with only this one individual who posed a threat. As for the others, they could be wiped out with a single breath.
"Hm?"
At that moment, something surprising happened.
An astonishing aura filled the air.
Chi's gaze locked onto Lin Fan, lying on the ground in the distance. The aura emanated from him.
"You're really something."
Lin Fan stood up straight, the strange aura radiating from him. Then, a visible force erupted from his body.
It overflowed from his feet, transforming into a black dragon that coiled around him. The dragon's head hovered above him, roaring at Chi.
Chi frowned, sensing a powerful will emanating from Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's blood boiled.
His fighting spirit had never been so high.
Previous opponents had been easy, dispatched with a few punches and kicks. But Chi's appearance ignited a burning desire to unleash his full potential.
Chi pondered for a moment, then said, "Not bad."
Lin Fan replied, "That was just a warm-up. Now I'm in perfect condition. Next, I'm going to get serious."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished. A black dragon trailed behind him as he moved, a visually stunning display, far more ferocious than before.
Master Yongxin witnessed this and exclaimed, "Amazing, truly amazing! In this battle, we have a thirty percent chance of survival."
Everyone was shocked.
Boom!
The black dragon stopped. Lin Fan's fists slammed into Chi, sending him flying with incredible speed, decisiveness, and ferocity. The fight had completely transformed.
"Fifty percent chance of survival," Master Yongxin said excitedly.
The surrounding people were overjoyed. "Good..."
If One-Eyed Man were here, he would definitely roll his eyes. Are you guys doing stand-up comedy?
At such a serious moment, instead of helping, they were calculating survival odds. Have some shame. You've lived so long, and you need a young man to fight for your lives. How embarrassing.
In the distance, Chi landed on his knees, one hand supporting his body. He vomited a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red.
"Impossible."
His eyes widened in disbelief. He had clearly seen Lin Fan's movements, but the will radiating from him carried an overwhelming pressure he couldn't resist.
Gradually, Chi's expression shifted from shock to madness, and he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, good, so exhilarating! I haven't encountered a human like you in a long time. You are truly strong. Come again!"
Chi instantly appeared before Lin Fan, roaring as he charged.
The force of his attack was explosive. Even before it landed, the crushing pressure cracked the ground beneath.
A fist slammed into Lin Fan's face, generating a white shockwave that radiated outwards, creating an absolute battle domain.
"What the... Where has this old monk's cultivation gone?"
Master Yongxin stared, dumbfounded.
Then, remembering the existence of the True Buddha, he immediately started chanting. I habitually curse, please forgive me, Buddha. This old monk is forever your most devout disciple.
But he was speaking the truth.
There was no pretense.
Master Yongxin now believed that sometimes, comparisons between people were simply impossible.
Lin Fan had reached such a level at such a young age.
And him, at his age… The thought was painful. He felt bitter.
Now, everyone was cheering at the fight.
"Hit him hard!"
"Beautiful!"
"Fierce, so fierce!"
Everyone felt exhilarated, like drinking ice water on a hot summer day. They had been scared half to death earlier.
With Lin Fan showing his true strength, their spirits soared. So what if you're the evil boss? We have Lin Fan. As long as he's here, we're fearless. We fear no one.
The technicians had discovered a monumental secret.
Only by reaching this point could they unearth the truth. But they wondered, if the evil beings were so powerful, why hadn't they launched a full-scale attack before?
This was a mystery.
An enigma.
Chi was defenseless against Lin Fan. The brutal, impactful blows were shocking. Chi's body swayed uncontrollably, blood splattering everywhere.
Gradually, Lin Fan stopped, standing still as he watched the swaying Chi. "This isn't fun. We're sparring, and it's no fun if only I'm hitting you."
"And could you stop swaying?"
"I'm not hitting you."
The scene was awkward.
Chi steadied himself, his expression slightly embarrassed. Then he laughed. "Exhilarating, truly exhilarating! Your strength surprised me. A human without ancient cultivation techniques, yet so powerful, it's a miracle. Tell me, what is your name?"
"I think your name is worth remembering."
Chi was genuinely shocked. Ancient cultivation methods had long been lost, yet this human was so powerful. He couldn't understand it.
"How rude," Lin Fan frowned, slightly displeased. He had initially felt some goodwill towards Chi, but it was almost gone. "I already told you my name."
Chi said, "The you from before wasn't worthy of me remembering your name. But now you are."
Lin Fan ignored him and turned to Xiao Bao. "Xiao Bao, what is he doing?"
Xiao Bao racked his brains, thinking hard. "Showing off."
"Right, exactly. How can you be so arrogant?" Lin Fan said.
Chi didn't understand what "showing off" meant. "Tell me your name. I will fight you seriously later."
"Really? You haven't used your full strength yet?" Lin Fan asked.
Chi smiled. "That's right. I've only used thirty percent of my power. Using my full strength won't be good for you."
"Okay, my name is Lin Fan," Lin Fan said.
"Lin Fan, very well. I will remember your name. Next, I hope you will take this seriously, because I will not hold back," Chi said with a smile.
The following is an English translation of the provided Chinese novel excerpt:
Afterwards, his expression hardened.
His body began to transform.
An incredibly powerful force surged skyward from him.
Crack!
A swelling sound.
Chi's body expanded continuously, becoming half again as muscular as before. With a wave of his arm, a shockwave rippled outwards. A smile appeared on his face.
"Good, this feeling is fantastic."
"Lin Fan, come on."
Lin Fan sensed the aura emanating from Chi was stronger than before. His expression was one of excitement. After leaving the mental hospital, he relished this kind of battle.
Perhaps the training he did with Old Zhang back in the mental hospital was for this very day.
This time, when Lin Fan charged, Chi withstood his attack, catching Lin Fan's fists in his palms. They locked in a stalemate.
"Hmm, powerful indeed. And there's a surprising amount of energy contained within you."
"Very good."
"But this is as far as you go."
Chi moved with extreme speed. After catching Lin Fan's fists, he lifted him into the air and slammed him towards the ground.
Lifted into midair, Lin Fan didn't panic in the slightest. With a tremor of his arm, a high-frequency vibration erupted, startling Chi and causing his expression to shift. Then, an irresistible force transmitted through, slamming Chi into the earth.
The two fought back and forth.
For Master Yongxin and the others, this battle had already surpassed their imagination.
They never thought Lin Fan was so formidable.
Nor did they imagine his power could be so terrifying.
The demonic rooster muttered to itself, "This is far too terrifying. That guy is definitely a supreme being among demons. I can't believe this magnificent human can fight him to this extent."
To the demonic rooster, being undercover by this human's side suddenly felt incredibly dangerous.
The three demons stood at the edge of the deep pit.
Although their faces were expressionless,
They were all shocked by the scene before them.
The human was strong.
Stronger than they could have imagined.
"Will Chi lose?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Chi lose? Can't you see how excited he is?"
"That doesn't seem to have anything to do with excitement. The point is, I feel like his energy is being consumed faster than the human's. Look closely and you'll see it."
"Hmm… It does seem that way."
They were all very powerful.
Far more powerful than Master Yongxin. Naturally, they could discern the current situation.
Gradually,
Chi's expression lost its initial excitement and became somewhat troubled.
The two separated.
Each took a moment to catch their breath.
"Damn, this guy looks harmless, but his charging time is even longer than mine." Chi pretended to look calmly at Lin Fan. Both of them were injured, exchanging blows relentlessly without pause.
If he wasn't strong and steady enough, the situation would definitely be much worse.
Damn it.
He still underestimated this human.
Lin Fan looked down at his injuries. These were wounds he had never experienced before. Even the powerful demonic cockroach hadn't done this to him.
"You are truly strong."
When Chi heard these words, he felt a deep sense of frustration, a kind of unspeakable annoyance.
Logically,
He should be the one winning.
But now, he felt the situation was quite precarious, a strange feeling of impending doom.
"Hoo!"
Chi gasped, his chest heaving slightly. Having fought to this point, he had a clear grasp of his opponent's strength. Indeed, he was strong, perhaps even too strong for Chi to defeat.
"Lin Fan, I haven't even shown you my strongest power yet." Chi said.
Putting aside everything else,
So many demons were watching, and there were human observers as well. Everyone had their pride. He couldn't just give up like that.
"Really?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
His opponent was genuinely strong.
The fight was exhilarating, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Chi spread his hands, and a thick flame ignited between his fingers.
"Have you heard of the Samadhi True Fire from ancient mythology?"
Master Yongxin and the others looked at the flames burning in Chi's hands with surprised expressions, especially when he claimed it was the Samadhi True Fire from ancient mythology. They were stunned.
The events of today had greatly impacted them.
Their understanding of the world was shaken.
Ancient myths were real.
It wasn't a lie.
Although they were far away, they could feel the scorching heat emanating from the flames. If they were touched by it, they would probably be burned to ashes.
"Master Yongxin, could you withstand that flame?" a member of the special forces asked.
Master Yongxin glared at him. The nerve of this guy, joking with a monk. Why didn't he suggest he try it himself? Even if he used his Diamond Body technique, the most he could hope for was that his ashes would be yellow.
"What do you think?" Master Yongxin retorted.
"I think it's doubtful."
Master Yongxin ignored him. Even if he was the second strongest among them, there was no need to compare him to everything.
He was just a monk who chanted scriptures and Buddha's name every day, a kind-hearted person.
He didn't strive for worldly things.
He was kind and compassionate.
Gentle and merciful.
Why bully an honest man?
"So you can play with fire too." Lin Fan said.
Chi looked at him quizzically. "What do you mean by that? As if you can too?"
Impossible.
How could modern humans know such things? He admitted that this human, Lin Fan, was very strong, but honestly, he didn't believe humans could do this.
"Actually, I can too, but I don't like using fire. It's not easy to control, a bit dangerous. I usually just use it for grilling."
"You know, playing with fire is bad. It can cause fires."
"And it can make you wet the bed."
Lin Fan smiled, explaining the downsides of fire. Chi stared blankly, his expression bewildered. What was going on in the head of this powerful human, Lin Fan?
Could he really have a problem with his mind?
If so, it needed to be treated.
"Really? What kind of fire is yours? Why don't you show it to me?" Chi smiled, naturally not believing the other party could play with fire. If he took out a lighter and lit a flame, he would definitely say, "Very humorous, not bad, not bad, you play with fire really well."
"Okay." Lin Fan smiled, raised his hand, and a flame appeared out of thin air, burning in his palm. "This is my flame."
"Your flame is really..." Chi was about to mock him when his eyes suddenly widened in horror. "You... how can you possess the Primordial Flame?"
The Samadhi True Fire in his hand seemed to be suppressed, as if it might extinguish at any moment.
"You're not human." Chi asked incredulously.
At this moment, not only did Chi have this thought, but even the three demons standing at the edge of the pit felt the same.
Earlier,
Their expressionless faces, after seeing the flame Lin Fan displayed, completely cracked.
"Impossible!"
"If we're not mistaken, that's the Primordial Flame, the Flame of Heaven and Earth. That's not something a human can control."
"Are humans really this powerful now?"
The three demons looked at each other, and in their eyes, they saw deep fear. Even they couldn't withstand such a flame.
Touching it would damage their very essence.
Lin Fan frowned, very unhappy. "How can you curse? That's very bad behavior. If you want to fight me, I won't fight anymore. You're rude."
"I was just thinking of playing with fire with you, but if you're going to be like this, I won't continue."
Chi was still thinking about what to do when he heard Lin Fan's words and was overjoyed, but he hid this joy in his heart.
"After this battle, I've seen the strength of you human experts. There's no need to continue. A battle with no clear victor is meaningless. How about we end it here?"
Chi really didn't want to fight anymore.
Before seeing the other party's flame,
He still had enough confidence.
But now,
He had no such thoughts. Although the Samadhi True Fire was strong, compared to the other party's flame, the gap between the two was a bit big, or even, there was basically no comparison.
Let's part ways. You take your single-plank bridge, and I'll take my broad road.
Wherever you want to go, north or south, east or west.
Let's not meet again.
"Okay, I've benefited greatly from this battle. Thank you for your guidance." Lin Fan cupped his hands.
Chi followed Lin Fan's example and cupped his hands, complaining inwardly, acting all cultured and refined.
Master Yongxin breathed a sigh of relief. "We're safe."
Everyone else felt the same.
Staying alive was all they wanted.
Nothing else mattered.
"Is there anything else you need to do?" Lin Fan asked the special department members.
They quickly waved their hands. No, it was enough. They knew enough, they didn't need to know more.
"Then let's go back."
He didn't feel any danger here, it was quite good, he actually encountered such a powerful guy, the battle just now benefited him greatly, the feeling of fighting was really comfortable.
Just as Lin Fan and the others were about to leave,
Chi spoke, "Wait."
Everyone was startled, wondering if he was going back on his word and wanted to kill them.
Although Lin Fan was very powerful,
But there were so many demons around, the consequences of them swarming together would be very serious, they definitely couldn't withstand it.
Lin Fan turned around and looked at him questioningly.
Chi said, "The true enemy of humanity is not us. I hope you can become stronger. You alone are not enough."
Master Yongxin focused, what did he mean by that?
The true enemy is not you?
Then who is it?
"Oh." Lin Fan replied.
He didn't know what the other party was talking about.
Regardless of whether he understood or not, it was best to agree, otherwise, making the other party unhappy wouldn't be a good thing.
Gradually,
Until their figures completely disappeared.
The three demons who had been standing at the edge of the pit spoke, "Chi King, are you just going to let them leave?"
"Primordial Flame, you can try it." Chi said.
The three demons didn't say anything more.
It was just a suggestion.
Nothing else.
Chi didn't say anything more, his deep gaze looked towards the distant figures that were gradually leaving, lost in thought, then a smile appeared.s…
It seemed they really needed pressure to grow.
At this time,
"Lin Fan, do your injuries hurt?" Old Zhang asked caringly.
Lin Fan said, "No, they feel fine."
Xiaobao said, "You were so cool just now, you're so strong."
Lin Fan raised his arm, showing off his muscles, "Of course, I didn't have muscles before, but after training, look, aren't my muscles great?"
Xiaobao reached out and poked Lin Fan's muscles, "Hard."
"Hee hee." Lin Fan laughed happily.
At this time, Master Yongxin squeezed next to Lin Fan and said, "What was the fist technique you used just now? It felt so powerful."
"Hmm… I think it's called 'Fist Canon'." Lin Fan replied, he learned it in a dream, he didn't know if he could do it, but during the battle, he used it very proficiently.
"I have a small request, I really want to learn it, are you willing to teach me?" Master Yongxin had always wanted to learn One-Eyed Man's unique skill, but One-Eyed Man wouldn't teach him, if too many people knew it, it wouldn't be called a unique skill anymore, it would be called a common martial art.
Lin Fan said calmly, "Sure."
Hearing this,
Master Yongxin was so moved that he almost cried, look, look carefully, where is the difference between people, it can be seen from here.
Thinking about that One-Eyed Man, he simply couldn't compare to this person.
"When can you teach me?" Master Yongxin pressed.
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Come over to my place for a sleepover on a rainy day, or at the end of the month."
A sleepover?
That's a bit much, isn't it?
I'm not young, but my body is still alright, but my Buddha is merciful, I can't do such outrageous things, alas, Master Yongxin always felt that society was full of deep malice.
He could only say this in his heart.
If he had to sell himself to learn a unique skill, he needed to think about it carefully.
Some things really required… paying a price.
"Then let's wait for a rainy day."
After thinking it over,
He said these words.
