56: Chapter 56 cannot be forcibly linked

"Ah!!"

A shrill, agonizing scream pierced through the heavy reinforced steel blast door, echoing within the cold armored train.

Outside, a freezing acid rain fell at minus forty degrees, but the Labor Area at the very end of the train had transformed into a terrifying purple purgatory.

"Zzzzt... Crackle!"

Violent purple electric arcs, like countless crazed vipers, darted frantically within the narrow carriage.

Rusted iron bunk beds were instantly melted through, leaving scorched black marks across the metal walls.

The air was thick with the suffocating stench of ozone and the acrid smell of burnt hair.

"Help... Train Master, save us!"

Zhang Meng and a dozen other low-level girls were scared out of their wits.

They huddled tightly in the furthest corner of the Labor Area, clinging to each other and trembling uncontrollably.

Several girls had their skin grazed by stray arcs of electricity, which instantly split their flesh open, yet they didn't even dare to cry out for fear of attracting the attention of the violent thunder.

At the center of the purgatory.

Leng Yubing curled up in agony on the cold floor.

On her long, fair, swan-like neck, the magic-suppressing collar used to suppress her abilities had finally short-circuited completely under the extreme temperature changes and atmospheric upheaval caused by the acid rain.

The red warning light flickered twice before exploding with a "bang" into a heap of Scrap Iron and falling from her neck.

The seal was released.

But for the current Leng Yubing, this was not a release; it was a death warrant.

Without the collar's suppression and lacking a sufficient mana pool to contain it, the violent origin of her S-Rank Talent within her body erupted like a dormant volcano in its most devastating explosion!

"Ugh..."

Leng Yubing bit her red lips hard, bright red blood seeping from the corners of her mouth and dripping onto her snow-white chest.

The leather armor she wore, already tattered, was reduced to charred ash under the impact of the violent purple lightning.

Large swathes of her flawless, snow-pale, delicate skin were exposed to the air without reservation.

But at this moment, this peerless beauty, capable of driving any man in the world mad, was covered in shocking bloody gashes.

Purple lightning rampaged through her meridians, brutally tearing apart her flesh.

Her delicate body convulsed uncontrollably, her long, straight legs rubbing painfully against the metal floor, and her breathtakingly full chest heaved violently with her heavy gasps.

The pain of the lightning's backlash was like ten thousand ants devouring her heart or being sliced apart and having her bones crushed.

Clang.

Just as the Labor Area was about to be completely destroyed by the out-of-control S-Rank lightning, the heavy blast door was kicked open from the outside with great force.

Lin Feng strode in with his long legs, stepping into this lightning purgatory.

He was still wearing that thin black jacket.

Facing the purple electric arcs dancing wildly across the sky, there wasn't a single ripple of emotion in his deep black eyes.

"Train Master! You're finally here! This crazy woman wants to take us down with her!" Seeing Lin Feng, Zhang Meng looked as if she had seen her savior, scrambling and crawling toward him.

"Get lost."

Lin Feng spat out those cold words without even glancing at her.

He walked straight toward Leng Yubing, who was at the center of the berserk energy.

Boom!

As if sensing an intruder, several thick bolts of purple lightning, like sharks scenting blood, roared as they struck toward Lin Feng's face.

Lin Feng didn't stop.

Fire flickered in his left eye, while cold mist spilled from his right.

A thin but indestructible layer of frost armor instantly covered his entire body.

At the same time, a ring of orange-red fire rippled out from beneath his feet.

The lightning struck the frost armor, exploding into large clouds of white mist, but it couldn't hinder his progress in the slightest.

Lin Feng walked up to Leng Yubing and looked down at her from above.

Leng Yubing, on the ground, also noticed Lin Feng's approach.

She struggled to lift her peerless face, which was now covered in cold sweat and blood.

In those enchanting purple eyes, Lin Feng's cold reflection was mirrored.

The bone-deep agony made her vision somewhat blurry.

But as the S-Rank Thunder Emperor, the pride in her bones wouldn't allow her to bow to anyone.

Especially not to this man who had once carried her back like a piece of cargo.

"Don't... touch me..."

Leng Yubing's raspy voice was filled with resolve.

She had endured the excruciating pain of her tearing meridians to actually manage to draw out a sliver of lightning power from her out-of-control origin.

"Get out!"

She let out a soft shout and suddenly raised her jade-like hand, aiming her palm at Lin Feng. A blinding purple lightning spear pierced through the air, stabbing fiercely toward Lin Feng's chest.

She would rather die than beg for mercy.

"Boring pride."

Facing this desperate, last-ditch attack, a cold light of disdain flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

He didn't dodge.

His left hand shot out, his palm covered in a strange magic woven from extreme cold and intense flames.

Snap!

Lin Feng grabbed the purple lightning spear in one go.

Under Leng Yubing's incredulous gaze, the lightning spear, filled with destructive power, was crushed into tiny purple sparks within Lin Feng's palm.

In the next second.

Lin Feng's tall frame leaned forward.

Like a preying panther, he instantly invaded Leng Yubing's absolute domain.

His right hand, like an iron pincer, tightly gripped her slender, delicate swan-like neck.

"Mmph!"

Leng Yubing let out a pained groan as Lin Feng's unreasonable brute force pinned her directly onto the cold metal floor.

The man's body pressed down, carrying a strong, domineering aura of pure yang energy.

Lin Feng's knee forcefully pried open her weakly struggling legs, pinning her firmly in place, unable to move.

The distance between them was mere inches.

Lin Feng's gaze, filled with cold killing intent, swept wantonly over the large expanses of snow-white skin Leng Yubing had exposed to the air.

Her breathtaking fullness heaved violently from anger and pain, nearly pressing against Lin Feng's chest. Their body temperatures and magic collided directly in that moment of physical contact.

Humiliation.

An unprecedented sense of humiliation instantly overwhelmed Leng Yubing's reason.

She bit her red lips until they bled. A towering rage ignited in her purple eyes as she glared at Lin Feng.

"Kill me... you beast... don't you dare touch me..."

She thought this man was going to commit such a foul act against her in this desperate situation.

On the wasteland, she had seen far too many men who took advantage of others' peril.

Lin Feng sneered.

Just as he was about to forcibly inject pure yang energy and initiate a Deep Link to strip away this coveted S-Rank Talent...

Beep!

A blinding system notification box, filled with warning, suddenly flashed frantically in Lin Feng's vision.

[Absolute Warning!]

[Detection: Target (Leng Yubing) subconscious resistance has reached its peak! Soul Barrier completely sealed!]

[The S-Rank origin is in an extremely unstable state. If the Host forcibly initiates a Deep Link now, the target's subconscious self-destructive tendencies will cause the S-Rank Talent origin to shatter instantly!]

[Judgment: A forced link will result in the target's death and the inability to copy any talent abilities!]

Lin Feng's body, which was about to press down, suddenly halted.

His eyes instantly darkened.

Unable to copy?

Origin shattering?
