178: Chapter 178 Complete Suppression

What Wan Chaoren had previously worried about was nothing more than being unable to quickly take down Chen Moxuan, which would damage his public image.

Now that the national live broadcast had started and his Special Ability had received an unprecedented boost, the naturally arrogant Wan Chaoren was certainly no longer afraid.

He was somewhat surprised that Chen Moxuan could evade his perception, but that was all.

There were plenty of Transcendents far weaker than him who could shield themselves from his perception by relying on the uniqueness of their Special Abilities.

"Whatever tricks you have, I can kill you with one punch!"

Although it was a pity to end the battle like this, time was limited.

He needed to deal with Chen Moxuan quickly before the Superpower Association noticed that he was an Other-Soul Being.

Compared to the previous punch where he only shattered Chen Moxuan's internal organs because he was worried about getting his clothes dirty...

Wan Chaoren put every ounce of effort into this punch.

Under the unprecedented boost to his Special Ability, he delivered his fastest and heaviest strike to date.

The wind from the punch howled, as if it were about to tear space itself apart.

However, Chen Moxuan seemed to have completely seen through Wan Chaoren's line of attack.

He quickly leaned his body backward, and the moment he dodged the fierce punch, he reached out his arm and accurately gripped Wan Chaoren's arm.

Immediately after, he slammed his legs hard against Wan Chaoren's chest.

Using the inertia of his backward lean to rise and following the force of Wan Chaoren's punch, he violently threw Wan Chaoren behind him like a cannonball being fired from a barrel.

At the same time, a burst of horizontal gravity was applied to Wan Chaoren's chest.

"What?!" Wan Chaoren cried out in surprise.

Wan Chaoren usually relied on overwhelming stats in combat; he had never encountered an enemy who possessed both stats and skill.

He truly could not understand why the offensive he took such pride in was neutralized so easily.

Before he could react, his body flew back hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye like an arrow leaving a bowstring.

"Stay further away on your own."

Chen Moxuan glanced slightly to the side, his gaze sweeping over Mayor Ma, whose fingers were frozen in place.

"Oh... okay, sure."

Hearing Chen Moxuan's voice, Mayor Ma seemed to suddenly wake from a startled dream and hurriedly responded.

Everything had happened too fast.

In his eyes, he had only just pointed out Chen Moxuan's location to Wan Chaoren, and in the next second, Wan Chaoren had already flown away.

He couldn't see what had happened in between at all.

Suddenly, a blast of strong wind whistled past, making it hard for him to open his eyes, and he could only use his hands to block it in a panic.

When the wind gradually dissipated, he lowered his hands and looked closely, only to find that Chen Moxuan's figure had also disappeared without a trace.

...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!—"

Accompanying Chen Moxuan's air-stepping dash, sonic booms echoed one after another high in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Wan Chaoren, whom he had just thrown away, came into view.

Wan Chaoren was now shrouded in a layer of golden glow.

He had already neutralized the impact force applied to his body and was floating quietly in the air.

"I have to admit, you really did surprise me," Wan Chaoren said slowly to Chen Moxuan.

"But it's only to the extent of surprise."

In Wan Chaoren's view, it had been less than six days since he first saw Chen Moxuan.

In such a short time, the other party had actually grown from an ant he could kill with a sneeze to someone with the power to put up a fight against him.

It was truly too inconceivable.

"I've long heard that Other-Soul Beings will suddenly gain illogical abilities at some point and then grow at a rocket-like speed.

It seems that is indeed the case now."

Wan Chaoren pondered silently to himself.

"But you are still no match for me."

Wan Chaoren slightly clenched his fists, and the golden light radiating from his body merged into him.

The number of people watching the national live broadcast was still jumping rapidly.

His power was also expanding at a terrifying speed that exceeded expectations.

He had never before experienced a situation where the entire nation's gaze was focused solely on him.

Feeling unprecedented power filling his entire body, Wan Chaoren's confidence swelled sharply.

He felt that he was now omnipotent!

"Is talking trash a Family trait of yours?"

Facing Wan Chaoren's harmless provocation, Chen Moxuan only responded plainly:

"Forget it, we aren't in the kind of relationship where we can have a slow chat."

He extended a middle finger and beckoned to Wan Chaoren:

"Come, get beaten."

Seeing this scene, the veins on Wan Chaoren's forehead instantly bulged like coiling dragons, and his eyes widened in fury.

Before encountering Chen Moxuan, let alone anyone daring to provoke Wan Chaoren, if anyone even let him perceive a hint of disrespect, they would be eliminated.

But now he was being repeatedly provoked, and by the same person!

Chen Moxuan's short three sentences and one gesture were highly damaging to Wan Chaoren.

For a moment, memories that made him unhappy flooded his mind, and emotions like anger and humiliation intertwined, driving him nearly insane.

"I want you dead right now!"

Wan Chaoren roared at the top of his lungs like a giant baby.

In an instant, a massive sonic boom exploded, and Wan Chaoren flew straight toward Chen Moxuan at an incredibly high speed.

"He's even faster than before..."

Chen Moxuan's eyes narrowed, and he made a grasping motion with one hand.

Special Ability: [Reverse Orbit Shadow Trace].

Immediately, the air that had been dispersed by Wan Chaoren's charge reversed with extreme force, forming a powerful resistance that hindered Wan Chaoren's forward rush.

This sudden force caught Wan Chaoren off guard; his speed stalled, and his balance faltered.

Chen Moxuan aimed for the opening, his figure flashed, and he stepped hard onto Wan Chaoren's back.

Special Ability: [Gravity Control], Hundredfold Gravity Kick!

Chen Moxuan's kick carried gravity as majestic as a mountain and smashed hard into Wan Chaoren.

Wan Chaoren felt an overwhelming force hit him, and his body fell rapidly and uncontrollably.

But in the next instant, the golden light on his body surfaced.

Incomparably majestic power erupted from within Wan Chaoren, forcefully withstanding the impact contained in Chen Moxuan's fierce kick and allowing him to steady himself in mid-air.

Wan Chaoren suddenly looked up, red energy focusing in his pupils.

"Zing—"

A bowl-sized Heat Ray suddenly erupted from his eyes.

The ray carried a scorching high temperature, and wherever it passed, the air sizzled as if it were about to ignite.

Chen Moxuan's expression remained calm and composed as he suddenly pushed his hands forward.

An icy, surging Cold Current poured out from his palms to meet the Heat Ray.

The moment the two collided, a deafening roar was heard.

The massive energy impact produced a large amount of water vapor, which quickly spread like a dense mist, shrouding the entire sky and making it difficult to see the battle situation within.

However, this was only for ordinary people.

Neither Wan Chaoren nor Chen Moxuan would get lost in this mist.

"Right here!"

Wan Chaoren's eyes pierced through the layers of water vapor and discerned Chen Moxuan's position.

He struck swiftly, his punch piercing through Chen Moxuan's chest.

Before Wan Chaoren could rejoice, the tactile sensation he felt was completely wrong.

In the next instant, the Chen Moxuan he had pierced through turned into a cloud of water vapor.

"Why don't you look behind you?"

Wan Chaoren's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly turned his head.

The moment Wan Chaoren glanced back, Chen Moxuan smashed a fully charged heavy punch into his face.

Raging flames exploded, and Blue Lightning danced wildly.

This strike layered his Special Ability and Martial Skill, and even utilized the Power of Heaven and Earth formed by the 'Unity of Heaven and Man' technique, concentrating it all at the tip of his fist.

Wan Chaoren could no longer resist this force; his head felt as if it were filled with tens of thousands of tons of heavy lead, and his body fell rapidly out of control.

"Boom!"

Wan Chaoren's body hit the ground like a heavy bomb, kicking up dust everywhere.

The earth trembled violently, and the ground instantly cracked in all directions.

The idle bystanders hiding in C City only felt a violent shaking beneath their feet, as if they had encountered a sudden and powerful earthquake, and they all showed expressions of terror.

Ripples appeared beneath Chen Moxuan's feet as he stood upon the Void Realm, looking down at the massive crater on the ground:

"As a punching bag, you really can take a beating."

His Spiritual Sense penetrated the pervasive dust and debris, firmly locking onto Wan Chaoren.

Wan Chaoren rushed out of the ruins in a pathetic state, his hair disheveled and his eyes full of rage.
