Chapter 218: Simulation: Wings of an Angel
The golden glow fell from the sky, and everyone present could imagine that once touched, they would be reduced to ashes.
"This way, if we all die, he can't take our equipment either, so it's not a loss," Zhang Manman thought, glancing towards Feng Hengyi, who had also realized Feng Yuxuan's plan.
He had already given up on fighting.
But Su Jie hadn't.
Therefore, Feng Hengyi was pierced by three flying swords at the shoulder blade and Dantian, nailing him to the ground.
Sparing him his life.
"Could it be that Su Jie still has a way to deal with the impending bombardment?"
Zhang Manman understood the reason for sparing Feng Hengyi's life, which was nothing more than to keep an enemy alive, giving them time to lick their wounds.
But—
Looking at the myriad meteors falling like fireworks and feeling the tremendous energy within them, Zhang Manman was unclear about what methods Su Jie had to cope with them.
She was certain that the energy contained in each was no less than the full-force strike of that cultivator from the second round.
How was Su Jie going to deal with it?
Su Jie opened his mouth and spat out thirty-three sword pellets, which transformed into thirty-three flying swords.
"Thirty-six swords!"
Feng Yuxuan was shocked beyond measure.
What kind of luck did Su Jie have to possess thirty-six flying swords!
"But so what if you have thirty-six flying swords?"
"With three pinning down my brother, you only have thirty-three to deal with my myriad of falling stars, which means you can only handle thirty-three meteor showers; how will you handle the rest?"
Bang!
Su Jie stamped his feet, as if shaking the earth, his mind merged with the energy, manifesting a sea of stars.
At the same time, the thirty-three flying swords started to spin rapidly, stirring the air around them and forming a powerful tornado that swept towards the sky-full of falling meteors.
And the sea of stars below, as if drawn by the tornado, merged into it, turning it into a dazzling galaxy!
"The flying stream falls three thousand feet!"
"I suspect it's the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven!"
Jos's eyes bulged as he tightly clutched a large rock ahead of him, sticking out his head and watching the spectacle of mind-evoked phenomena, as if countless stars twinkled above, murmuring to himself.
In the massive whirlpool of the starry sea, all the myriad lights were gathered, turning into the power of the tornado, controlled by Su Jie, sweeping toward Feng Yuxuan.
The massive starry sea tornado, with its incomparable suction, left Feng Yuxuan, who was in mid-air, unable to escape.
"No—" This chapter first appeared on M|V|L^EMPYR.
Feng Yuxuan struggled to fly upwards, but the suction of the starry sea tornado was like an incredibly strong flushing toilet, and he was already in the stream of air being sucked in.
How easy could it be to swim against the current?
And fly to the sides?
He couldn't escape the suction, and even if he could, where could he fly to?
Leaving the safe zone would be a path to certain death.
In the end, the starry sea tornado still engulfed Feng Yuxuan.
Within it, not only did he have to withstand the cutting from the thirty-three flying swords, the mental attack of the starry sea phenomena, but also his own previously released wide-range attack.
Boom boom boom!
Endless explosions rang out in mid-air, and the starry sea whirlpool slowly dissipated, leaving only a square box falling from the sky.
Su Jie!
Had won!
"Wow!"
Zhang Manman hurried over, "Su Jie, you won!"
At that moment, Su Jie was extremely pale, his body like a bag of bones, yet a faint smile hung on his lips, "Yes, I won, but it wasn't easy."
To force a mental illusion to attack the opponent directly, one must expend a great deal of energy.
Luckily, this body was evolved from the mind.
After taking a blood replenishing medicine, Su Jie instantly came back at full health, then began with the others to look through Feng Yuxuan's box.
[Wings of the Angel: Flying organ of the Angel clan, can merge with a person, granting the ability to fly and emit rays of light, capable of absorbing light to strengthen oneself.]
"These Wings of the Angel are really powerful, being able to devour light," Zhang Manman said. "Does that mean, as long as we have them, we can get stronger by sunbathing?"
"It should be possible," Su Jie took out the Wings of the Angel and placed them into his storage bag, with no objections from anyone, as Feng Yuxuan was defeated by him alone.
After that, four drops of angel's blood were taken out from the box.
Though it was blood, it appeared like mercury, jewel-like, with a warm and smooth touch, like agar-agar.
This too was a treasure.
After taking the previous treasures from Feng Yuxuan's box, the group approached Feng Qianzang.
"Feng Qianzang, hand over the supplies," Zhang Manman said with a beaming smile. "Don't make us take action, or you'll suffer," she warned.
Feng Qianzang gave a cold sneer, the corner of his mouth curling up, "Don't forget, the Supreme Cup is being live-streamed. Who knows how many people are watching us right now. What you're doing isn't exactly honorable, is it?"
Zhang Manman chuckled and said, "With the live broadcast of the competition, I guess everyone's attention is probably focused on the battle between Su Jie and Feng Yuxuan. At most, we just want to get closer to you, Senior, and play with your gaming equipment, that's all."
Feng Qianzang's expression changed.
That was indeed a possibility.
However, he would not give up any of his equipment. At worst, he would simply die, since they would not be able to get anything from him anyway.
Thinking on the bright side, his older brother had lost his Angel's Wings, which narrowed the gap between them.
Moreover, his third brother had his Angel's Blood licked away by them. This made it even more possible for him to become the strongest in the Feng family in the future.
But Su Jie, that person was indeed a big trouble for the Feng family.
He seemed to be the bane of the Feng family. The first time they met, he brought disaster upon the three brothers, defeating them all at once. Not only did he sabotage their recruitment event, but he also tarnished the reputation of the three Feng brothers.
The second encounter was this very battle.
Su Jie had become even more powerful, possessing thirty-six flying swords, and his battle power had completely exceeded the standard.
Su Jie, a cataclysm...
Could it be that Su Jie was destined to be their nemesis?
Feng Qianzang narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't believe in fate, but Su Jie's consecutive victories over the three brothers, each time stronger than the last, forced him to be cautious.
"It seems Senior isn't willing," Su Jie was about to take action but then noticed Feng Qianzang's vacant expression, clearly indicating he had gone offline.
Well, no need for further words then.
Zhang Manman threw a punch and emptied the opponent's health bar, turning him into a box.
Third round, victory!
Returning to the meeting room, all four were extremely excited because this time, they had obtained a large number of treasures, and more importantly, they had acquired two storage devices from the backpacks of Feng Yuxuan, Feng Hengyi, and their teammate.
One was in the shape of a bracelet, the other a ring.
All these spoils of war belonged to Su Jie, so Jos, Chen Tian Yuzi actually bought them with real silver from him.
The energy-storing bracelet and jade flute, however, were treasures Jos and Chen Tian Yuzi had won by defeating other players, so they didn't need to explain anything to Su Jie and could keep them for themselves.
Subsequently, Su Jie took out the Angel's Blood. He had gotten four drops from Feng Yuxuan's box, and Zhang Manman had gotten three drops from Feng Hengyi's box.
It was estimated that Feng Qianzang also had three drops, but unfortunately, he was the last one to be eliminated, making it impossible to obtain anything from him, otherwise, that big saber could have been quite nice.
Su Jie picked up a drop, swallowed it down, and felt the Angel's Blood cleanse his flesh, slightly increasing his potential. He couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, just like the introduction said, the Angel's Blood can enhance the potential of the human body."
However, Su Jie also knew that this thing wasn't much use to him.
Once life force reached above 3, the effect of the Angel's Blood was minimal, serving only to cleanse hidden injuries.
Zhang Manman bought three drops for fifty million apiece.
Chen Tian Yuzi bought two drops, and Jos bought one.
After taking it, Zhang Manman felt as if she had been cleansed thoroughly. Her tendons, muscles, and organs all became incredibly robust, her life force reached 2, and it was even breaking through.
In the end, it reached the level of 2.29, just 0.01 short of 2.3.
After Jos took it, his life force increased by 0.3, reaching the level of 1.8. Chen Tian Yuzi, after taking two drops, saw his life force come to 1.99.
Unfortunately, just 0.01 short, and it would have broken through to 2.
With all the Angel's Blood used up, Su Jie took out the most valuable treasure, the Angel's Wings, and asked, "Who wants this treasure?"
Zhang Manman was astonished, "Aren't you keeping these Angel's Wings for yourself?"
Being able to fly signified aerial control.
Being able to absorb the power of light meant one could directly draw on the essence of the sun and moon from the light.
These two functions alone were invaluable.
By all accounts, Su Jie should have kept the Angel's Wings for himself, but instead, he offered them up.
"For me, having thirty-six Qingping Swords is enough. Besides, as long as I control them well in the future, I can also achieve Sword Flight, so I don't need this pair of wings," Su Jie explained. "As for the function of absorbing light, to be honest, I'm not lacking in energy.
What's more important is that the Angel's Wings would change one's body structure, and I guess it's likely to cause one to evolve towards an angel."
"I have no intention of ceasing to be human."
Jos inhaled sharply, "Su Jie, are you saying that absorbing these Angel's Wings could lead to evolution into an angel? Aren't items that can be brought into reality supposed to remove side effects?"
Just like the Vampire Heart, after absorbing it, one wouldn't turn into a vampire.
So why didn't the Angel's Wings remove this side effect?
"Perhaps, in the world of illusion, becoming an angel is not considered a side effect," Su Jie mused as he felt the strong radiance from the Angel's Wings, and smiled, "This is a sort of positive specific evolution."
Su Jie had his own path and didn't intend to become an angel, thus the Angel's Wings became a white elephant to him.
However, for Chen Tian Yuzi and Jos, becoming an angel in the future might be a great avenue to embark on.
As for Zhang Manman.
She had her own pride. If she wasn't clear about the effect of the Angel's Wings, that would be one thing, but knowing that merging with the Angel's Wings would lead to a transformation into an angel, she lost interest.
She disliked such an ascension on a shortcut.
Following the rules step by step would not have allowed her to reach her current level.
