147: Chapter 147 Swift Kill

These criminals had already been stripped of their Transcendent status, and the tracking mark mechanism within their Souls had been removed.

Unlike the situation after killing the Explosive Flame King and the Rewinder, where he had to wait for the tracking marks to dissipate automatically.

The moment the Speedster's Soul perished, the heaven and earth spiritual energy hidden within his Soul immediately burst forth.

Fortunately, Chen Moxuan had been prepared; he skillfully used his Spiritual Sense to bind the ball of spiritual energy, then waved his hand to unleash a burst of True Qi imbued with a Divine Ability to analyze the Special Ability Law.

As the Speedster's Special Ability had its information fragments stripped away by [Po Yuan], the Special Ability possessed by his opponent met the conditions for analysis using [All-Things Calculation].

[Beginning analysis of Special Ability [Extreme Movement], estimated time: 15 minutes]

The rules behind this Special Ability were not complex; in essence, they had some similarities to movement-based Martial Skills.

However, it achieved its acceleration effect by consuming Mental Energy.

Because the acceleration was not achieved through physical strength, the Speedster's reflexes were often unable to keep up with these sudden changes in speed.

In his hands, [Extreme Movement] was used quite crudely, essentially just charging around blindly.

He relied solely on the robust Physical Body of a B-Rank Transcendent, using the immense momentum generated by extreme speed to conduct his impacts.

Faced with opponents whose Physical Body strength was inferior to or only slightly stronger than his own, this method of attack was indeed quite threatening.

But the Physical Body strength of a Reinforcement Type B-Rank Transcendent was only equivalent to that of a Martial Artist in the Tiangang Realm.

And the Speedster, whose Special Ability was not of the Reinforcement Type, had a Physical Body strength inferior even to some Qi Control Realm Martial Artists who specialized in close-quarters combat Martial Skills.

Before Chen Moxuan's heavy fist, augmented by the phantom of an Overlord, the Speedster was like a block of tofu, instead shattered by the powerful momentum he had generated himself.

"Time is short, let's fully analyze this Special Ability first."

Chen Moxuan adjusted the power of [All-Things Calculation] and began to fully analyze [Extreme Movement].

Currently, the Special Abilities he was analyzing were [Reverse Orbit Shadow Trace], obtained from the Rewinder, and [Otherworld Walker], being analyzed from Song Xin.

The former would still take nearly four days to analyze under normal conditions, and the latter would take even longer.

Even though he had later firmly demanded that Song Xin use her Special Ability multiple times so he could obtain more information from it, almost draining her Mental Energy to the brink of consciousness.

It would still take more than ten days to finish analyzing it.

[Reverse Orbit Shadow Trace] might be finished in the next few days if he could utilize meditation to achieve uninterrupted triple-speed Overclocking Calculation.

[Otherworld Walker] was unlikely to be finished within this period.

With a major battle approaching soon, Chen Moxuan naturally had to prioritize analyzing those Special Abilities that could be put to immediate use.

"With my current Mental Energy reserves, even without using meditation, I can maintain a five-fold Overclocking state for at least ten minutes."

He calculated in his mind.

Once five-fold Overclocking was activated, the time to analyze [Extreme Movement] would be shortened to three minutes.

Although this would cause his Mental Energy consumption to exceed his recovery rate by about thirty percent, as long as the total loss did not exceed half of his total reserves, the impact on combat would be negligible.

Of course, he could also consider increasing the Overclocking multiplier to six-fold, in which case the analysis time could indeed be shortened to just over two minutes.

However, the surge in Mental Energy consumption would far outweigh the benefits brought by the reduction in time.

Once his Mental Energy dropped below half of his total, his control over Martial Skills and True Qi would be greatly diminished.

In summary, five-fold Overclocking was the most cost-effective choice at the moment.

If time were ample, it would be best to perform the analysis in a normal state.

Even if it took fifteen minutes, the rate of Mental Energy consumption and recovery could reach a perfect balance, thereby keeping his Mental Energy in its best state at all times.

Once he decided to enable Overclocking mode, it meant the situation was urgent, and he would not hesitate to consume excess Mental Energy to race against time.

[Calculation speed adjusted to five-fold]

[Analyzing Special Ability [Extreme Movement], estimated time: 2 minutes 56 seconds]

"Whoosh—"

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly sliced through the air.

Chen Moxuan tilted his head and dodged; a transparent air cannon whistled past his ear and slammed hard into the ground.

Dust flew, rubble scattered, and a sizable crater was blasted out.

"Huh, you actually dodged it?" A voice full of surprise came from the rooftop behind Chen Moxuan.

Chen Moxuan turned around quickly, looking toward the rooftop with eyes like torches.

He saw a gaunt, skeletal woman standing there, her hands mimicking the gesture of a pistol, her fingertips pointed directly at him.

Seeing that Chen Moxuan had discovered her, the gaunt woman not only showed no panic, but instead grinned and laughed:

"You've got good luck; it seems you're the unlucky guy they told me to take out."

"You look quite fair and tender, but it's a pity..."

"You're about to be riddled with holes by me!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!—"

The gaunt woman's hands were like a machine gun, and transparent projectiles, each with power not inferior to the previous air cannon, poured toward Chen Moxuan like a surging tide, covering the sky and earth.

Chen Moxuan's expression was indifferent; he turned a blind eye to these overwhelming attacks.

He suddenly formed one hand into the shape of a Dragon claw, grabbed fiercely at the ground in front of his feet, and then violently flipped it over.

A large chunk of the ground was forcibly lifted up by him.

Underneath the upturned ground, there was actually a man swimming as if in water, merged with the ground.

The man's face changed instantly, his eyes widened in terror, and he shouted out involuntarily:

"How did you discover me?!"

However, he didn't even have time to hear Chen Moxuan's reply.

At this moment, the piece of ground that had been lifted had already become Chen Moxuan's sturdiest shield.

The ground that had originally served as the man's swimming pool had, once isolated in the air, become his cage instead.

Countless air cannons struck the piece of ground like raindrops, emitting a deafening roar.

Under that storm-like attack, the man, along with the piece of ground, was shattered into pieces, screaming repeatedly.

"Oh no!" The gaunt woman wanted to pull back her power, but it was already too late.

She and the man who had infiltrated the ground had been friends before going to prison.

Her Special Ability could compress air to form long-range attacks of immense power.

And the man's Special Ability allowed him to assimilate with the ground, hide his aura, and drag people he touched into the ground with him.

She would provide heavy long-range firepower to attract the enemy's attention, and then the man would infiltrate beneath the enemy, looking for an opportunity to drag their legs into the ground.

Once successful, the enemy would be like fish on a chopping block, at their mercy.

This combination had worked for them time and again, but they hadn't expected it to be easily neutralized by Chen Moxuan.

The dust raised by the ground debris spread, instantly obscuring her vision. A strong sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in the gaunt woman's heart.

She hurriedly compressed air, rapidly forming a layer of solid armor on the surface of her body, and then intended to flee backward without looking back.

The strength the opponent had displayed already exceeded her expectations; he not only possessed the powerful perception of a mental-type Special Ability but also Physical Body strength superior to that of a B-Rank Reinforcement Type.

But Chen Moxuan certainly would not let her escape.

A long blade condensed from lightning instantly pierced through the dust.

That air armor was simply as fragile as paper in front of the lightning blade.

The lightning blade broke through with irresistible force, piercing through the air armor and accurately piercing the woman's heart from behind.

Chen Moxuan waved one hand, flicking the lightning blade he had condensed upward, splitting the woman in two from bottom to top.

Immediately after, he threw another punch, blasting the head of the dying man to pieces.

These two Transcendent criminals had been immersed in the pleasure of slaughtering ordinary people just minutes before.

Now, in less than three seconds, they had become two incomplete corpses.

"Two down," Chen Moxuan said coldly.

He could clearly feel several auras rapidly converging on him from multiple directions, two of which were particularly powerful, completely on a different level compared to the others.

If they were allowed to fully coordinate, he would also fall into some minor trouble.

"While there is this gap, let's clean up some of the small fry first."

A brilliant flash of lightning suddenly crossed Chen Moxuan's body; he instantly activated Swift Thunder Body and dashed swiftly forward.
