Chapter 153: Confrontation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just a moment ago, Lu Ming was still lamenting that he might not be able to gain daily attributes for a period of time.
However, the awakening of his superpower showed Lu Ming new possibilities.
“Self-Limitation State? Attributes halved? Doesn’t that mean 1 won’t be able to advance?””
It seemed like… this was the case…
Just now, Lu Ming was planning to advance again to safely get through this crisis without a head-on battle.
To put it bluntly, Lu Ming did not want an evenly matched fight. What he wanted was control.
If he could crush them, he should not play the evenly matched game. What if things went wrong?
But now, looking at the Body Self-Limitation superpower, he suddenly realized that there was no need for him to advance further.
I have superpower!
I have the Explosive State!
I even have the Desperate State!
More importantly…
The Level 2 Lu Ming had already vaguely sensed the strength of the group of birdmen opposite him.
Other than the three leaders, all of them were Level 9 in the Mortal Realm, which was far weaker than him.
Among the three leaders, two were not stronger than his Normal State.
The remaining one might be stronger than his Normal State but probably not stronger than his Explosive State, let alone his Desperate State!
“Is this stable?”
Lu Ming was not sure if it was stable or not. Before the results came out, Lu Ming did not want to make any judgments.
But it seemed unnecessary to advance again.
At this moment, Lu Ming fell into a deep conflict.
On this side, Lu Ming was silent.
However, the others took Lu Ming’s silence as fear.
The birdman in Lu Ming’s right hand sensed the trembling of Lu Ming’s fingertips—Lu Ming was trying to familiarize himself with his current strength through subtle changes in posture.
However, this birdman mistook it for fear.
“Let go of me! Let go of me!”
“Did you hear that? Our leader said that he’ll spare your life! Aren’t you going to kneel down and thank us for our kindness.”
Lu Ming did not let go…
This made the Black Feather Tribe members feel offended.
He said coldly, “Kid, 1’11 remember what happened today. When you get to our territory, I’ll have countless of ways to torture you!”
“I’ll break your legs!”
“I want to eat your first offspring in front of you!”
“I want—”
There was a crisp crack.
Lu Ming exerted a little force with his right hand, easily breaking the man’s right hand.
The sudden scene stunned the birdman—he did not expect Lu Ming to dare to make a move. As a result, his surprise came faster than the pain.
In the next second, a scream rang out.
But it stopped abruptly within the blink of an eye.
Lu Ming decisively made a move and twisted his head off.
Just like the way they killed Maggie and Anderson…
Amang, Apulan, and Arnold’s expressions instantly darkened.
Killing their tribe member in front of them.
Although he was only at Level 9 in the Mortal Realm and was rather useless, this kind of behavior was indeed a slap in the face.
Amang immediately roared, “Teach him a lesson!”
Apulan was about to attack.
However, before Apulan could act, he suddenly felt his vision blur. In the next second, Lu Ming appeared in front of Apulan!
Lu Ming reached out and grabbed Apulan’s neck.
Before Apulan could sense Lu Ming’s strength, he suddenly felt everything spinning.
Lu Ming was dragging Apulan, and in just three steps, they were outside the Nanxiang gathering place in an open space.
With a flick, Lu Ming threw Apulan far away and then turned to look at Amang and the others in the sky, and hooked his finger at them provocatively.
The message was clear.
The space inside was too small and could not be used. Let’s fight outside.
And…
I alone will take on all of you!
Amang could not help but laugh in anger.
He really did not expect that he would be provoked by a Level 2 in the Mortal realm…
After looking down at the Nanxiang gathering place and ensuring that no one could escape from there, Amang led the way and flew towards Lu Ming.
The Black Feather Tribesmen flapped their wings and descended from the sky, landing beside Apulan.
Apulan’s eyes were red as he said in exasperation, “1 was careless!”
He still did not think that the scene just now was the result of the difference in strength.
Amang actually thought the same way.
Patting Apulan’s shoulder, Amang said softly, “Now, let’s not be careless again.”
“Understood…”
Taking a deep breath, Apulan strode towards Lu Ming.
In the distance, Velo, who was secretly observing, had a different view from Amang and the others.
Staring at Lu Ming’s mountainous physique, Velo’s brows slowly furrowed.
“This person is a bit strange…”
The strength of a Level 2 mortal realm expert was undoubtedly certain, and there would be no deviation in this.
Just now, Lu Ming had grabbed Apulan’s neck with a single hand and threw him out of the gathering place.
The strength displayed by Lu Ming was completely beyond what could be explained by body forging techniques.
As the saying went, the onlooker could see things more clearly than those involved.
Amang and Apulan only thought that Lu Ming ambushed them and did not care about martial arts ethics.
However, Velo felt that in terms of physical strength, this Level 2 Awakened was not inferior to a Level 1 Physique Realm Expert like Apulan.
“Could it be that he has really started practicing body forging techniques since he was in his mother’s womb?”
“That shouldn’t be the case.”
Unable to figure it out after much thought, Velo gave up trying to understand.
However, as he watched the colorful light flash out of Apulan’s body, he sighed and said, “Unfortunately, the foundation of the new generation of Tribulation Transcenders is too shallow. They can’t master many Source Power Skills at all. On the other hand, the Black Feather Tribe has a complete clan and inheritance, giving them a significant advantage in Source Power Skills.”
Let’s assume that Lu Ming and Apulan’s basic strength were about the same.
Then, with every additional Source Power Skill that Apulan mastered, he would have a slight advantage over Lu Ming—the gap widened just like this.
Therefore in this battle, Velo still did not think highly of Lu Ming.
Apulan walked towards Lu Ming.
With every step, light rose from Apulan’s body.
Some light turned into armor.
Source Power Skill: Black Feather Battle Armor Technique.
Some light transformed into two sabers.
Source Power Skill: Soldier Transformation Technique.
Some light covered body, significantly enhancing the defense of his skin.
Some light fell on the wings and greatly increased Apulan’s speed.
In short, several Source Power Skills were displayed by Apulan and there were no less than ten of them.
With the display of more Source Power Skills, Apulan’s aura became even more powerful.
Lu Ming was not too concerned.
This was because the threat was not significant.
Perhaps, for his Normal State, it was not much of a threat…
A loud “bang” rang out.
Two shockwaves erupted from Apulan’s feet, and his entire body seemed to have teleported as he appeared in front of Lu Ming.
The two blades slashed at Lu Ming’s neck from different angles. Lu Ming dodged slightly, avoiding the attack, but he was not prepared for Apulan’s kick.
The eagle-like claw slapped Lu Ming’s chest ruthlessly. A copious amount of force surged over, making Lu Ming take two steps back.
As if he had collided with a huge mountain, Apulan’s leg emitted an ear-piercing explosion. He quickly retreated on one foot and even flapped his wings a few times to stabilize himself.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Apulan’s face turned from white to green and then to purple.
He wanted to turn around and tell Amang that he seemed to be no match for this guy. However, before he could speak, Lu Ming spoke first.
“You’re very strong.”
To be able to kick Lu Ming back two steps… This was a powerful opponent Lu Ming had never encountered before!!
“Therefore, I have to use my true abilities!”
Apulan opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly saw Lu Ming’s body begin to expand!
