Chapter 178: Chen Ye's Astonishing Move!
"Chen Ye, you…"
Old Liu wanted to ask why Chen Ye had let Tang Zichen leave, but then he noticed the intense seriousness in Chen Ye's expression.
The usually calm and indifferent look in Chen Ye's eyes had now sharpened.
Especially striking was the powerful aura emanating from Chen Ye's body, which was growing stronger by the second—an aura so intense it was shocking.
Old Liu looked at his student as if he were seeing him for the first time, disbelief flickering in his eyes.
The others were no better off.
None of them were ordinary people, and they immediately felt the overwhelming force of Chen Ye's aura. It instantly drew all eyes to him.
Whoosh!
The crackling sound of solar flames interrupted their thoughts.
The temperature around them soared suddenly!
It was as if the air itself had ignited.
At this moment, Chen Ye was engulfed in flames, even his bald head was ablaze...
He looked like a fiery god.
Chen Ye had chosen to use his fire ability because he thought it was the most effective way to deal with these weaker monsters.
As for his immense physical strength, it wasn't suited for wide-range attacks at the moment.
Then...
Chen Ye clenched his right fist, gathered his strength, and aimed at the descending flying fish monsters in the sky, unleashing a powerful punch.
Boom!
A sonic boom tore through the air, startling everyone nearby.
In the shocked gazes of the crowd, a massive fireball, over twenty meters in diameter, appeared from Chen Ye's right fist. Like a rocket, it shot toward the swarm of monsters, trailing flames behind it.
Fire Fist!
These flying fish monsters had glided in from the sky. Though their speed was fast, their weakness was obvious—they couldn't easily change direction.
Especially now, as they were descending rapidly from high altitude. Their speed made it even harder for them to maneuver.
Even though the monsters could see Chen Ye's Fire Fist coming, they had no way to dodge.
When the gigantic flaming fist collided with the flying fish monsters…
A massive fireball exploded in the sky.
Boom!
It was like an intercontinental missile had detonated in mid-air.
The firelight from the explosion was as bright as the sun, illuminating the entire sky.
Countless flying fish monsters perished in that single punch.
Although the fire quickly dissipated, everyone was left speechless, staring in disbelief at Chen Ye.
The destructive power of that punch had undoubtedly reached the level of a fifth-tier warrior!
"Chen Ye, you…"
It was Old Liu's second time speaking.
The first time, he had been interrupted by the sheer force of Chen Ye's aura.
This time, he didn't know what to say at all.
Chen Ye, however, had no time to waste.
There were still plenty of flying fish monsters in the sky!
That Fire Fist had merely been a test to gauge the monsters' defenses.
Now, he had a strategy.
Whoosh!
Flames ignited on both of Chen Ye's fists as he shouted, "Make sure the civilians stay hidden! Be careful not to get hit by the monsters' bodies. Leave the stragglers to you!"
With those words, Chen Ye launched into action.
He unleashed a flurry of punches toward the sky.
Continuous Normal Punches!
In an instant!
The sky was filled with the shadows of countless punches.
Along with the punch shadows, an uncountable number of flaming fists surged into the air.
These flaming fists weren't as powerful as the initial Fire Fist. Their diameter was only about ten meters.
Chen Ye had deliberately reduced the power because he realized that, despite their terrifying appearance, the flying fish monsters had fairly weak defenses. The smaller fire fists were enough to kill them, so there was no need to use his full strength every time.
Since there were so many flying fish monsters in the sky, he needed to conserve his energy and spiritual power, using the least amount of effort to kill the most monsters.
Although these fire fists weren't as terrifying as the first one, their sheer number created an even greater spectacle.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, Chen Ye resembled a fully powered anti-aircraft cannon, continuously firing at the flying fish monsters.
In the blink of an eye...
The sky was ablaze with flaming fists.
In the glow of the fire, it felt as though the night had turned into day!
Everyone, including the civilians, looked on in utter shock.
They couldn't comprehend how such a miracle could be performed by a single human being.
If there were any One Piece fans present, they would undoubtedly recognize the scene.
Chen Ye's move was remarkably similar to Admiral Akainu's "Meteor Volcano" from the Navy.
However, Chen Ye's flaming fists seemed even more numerous and densely packed.
...
Under the relentless bombardment of Chen Ye's "Continuous Normal Fire Fists," the flying fish monsters in the sky were suffering immensely!
These monsters were in freefall, unable to change direction. And given their large size, they were nothing more than easy targets for Chen Ye!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky echoed with the constant sound of explosions.
The fiery light bathed the entire sky in a crimson glow that seemed to last forever.
Many of the civilians suddenly experienced an illusion.
It was as if they weren't under attack by monsters, but were instead witnessing the most spectacular fireworks display of their lives!
"Wow! Mommy, the fireworks that uncle made are so beautiful!" a little girl couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer.
Her mother, terrified, quickly covered her mouth…
At this moment...
The entire scene belonged to Chen Ye alone!
Everyone else, who had wanted to help, quickly realized that they couldn't even find an opportunity to step in.
"Because they can't fly!"
Before the monsters even hit the ground, they had already been blasted to smithereens by Chen Ye...
So, all they could do was stand there and watch.
Old Liu suddenly shouted, "Leave this to Chen Ye, let's go help Tang Zichen!"
Only then did everyone remember that Tang Zichen was still fighting the monsters on the other side. They quickly followed Old Liu to provide assistance.
...
Chen Ye bombarded the sky for a full five minutes before finally stopping.
He had no choice but to stop!
Despite conserving his strength, using Continuous Normal Fire Punches was still a massive drain on his mental energy.
It was only thanks to his spiritual power, now beyond 1000, having undergone a qualitative change that he had lasted this long.
Otherwise, with the previous level of consumption, he wouldn't have been able to keep going for so long.
As soon as Chen Ye stopped, a wave of dizziness hit him, and blood started flowing from his nose.
The next moment…
Chen Ye staggered, about to fall.
Suddenly…
A middle-aged man rushed over to support Chen Ye.
But as soon as the man grabbed Chen Ye's shoulder, his face changed.
He realized that Chen Ye's weight was astonishing.
It was as if he was supporting a body made of steel rather than a human.
This was because, as Chen Ye's strength increased, while his appearance hadn't changed much, his bone density had surpassed that of alloys, his skin had toughened, and his muscles had solidified, naturally increasing his body weight.
Chen Ye appeared to weigh around 150 pounds, but his actual weight had already reached 200 pounds.
Only with such a body could he unleash such immense power.
"Come help me!" the middle-aged man shouted. "Don't let our hero fall!"
Hearing this, people rushed over, surrounding Chen Ye.
Even though there were still a few monsters in the sky that hadn't been killed, at this moment, all they wanted was to protect Chen Ye.
As for the remaining monsters, that could be left to others!
With the help of the crowd, Chen Ye finally regained his footing.
He took a long time to catch his breath before slowly regaining his clarity.
Looking at the grateful, excited, and admiring gazes around him, Chen Ye suddenly felt that everything he had done was worth it.
"Uncle, have some water!"
A little girl handed Chen Ye a bottle of water.
The bottle was a cute plastic one that hung on the little girl's back.
Chen Ye smiled, took the water, and drank it all.
Whether it was a psychological effect or not, Chen Ye felt much better after finishing the bottle.
"Thank you for the water, little one."
"You're welcome." The little girl looked at Chen Ye seriously and said, "My mom says you're a great hero and our family's savior, so I let you drink from my bottle. I wouldn't let just anyone use it."
The innocence in her words brought smiles to everyone around.
Chen Ye also smiled.
Then…
He waved his hand and said to the crowd, "Thank you, everyone. I'm fine now. Let me sit down and rest for a bit."
Hearing this, the crowd stepped aside.
Chen Ye didn't care about the dirt on the ground and sat down to rest.
A short while later, whispers began to rise from the crowd:
"Isn't this hero the one they call Xiao Bai… President Chen's son?"
"Yeah! I didn't expect him to be so strong, and I never thought we'd owe our lives to him tonight."
"Sigh! I even trashed him online before. I… I really deserve to be punished!"
"Chen Gongzi is so powerful! The damage he just dealt was definitely at a fifth-tier level, right?"
"Without a doubt! But even the strongest fifth-tier warrior couldn't take down monsters on such a large scale like he did. He's truly terrifying."
"Yeah! Incredible! President Chen really has a worthy successor."
"I remember Chen Gongzi only got his fire abilities a few months ago, right? How did he get so strong? I can't figure it out."
"What's there to figure out? It just means he's naturally gifted, born for fire abilities."
"I've recorded everything that just happened. I'm going to post it online later. Let's see who dares to badmouth Chen Gongzi after this."
"Now that I think about it, Chen Gongzi and Goddess Tang really are a match made in heaven!"
"Exactly, Chen Gongzi is top-tier in both strength and character. I fully support their marriage!"
"Hah, who do you think you are? Do they need your approval?"
"I'm a fan of Goddess Tang! Chen Gongzi has my approval. Isn't that enough?"
...
Although Chen Ye was mentally exhausted, and his head was swimming, it didn't affect his hearing.
The conversations around him drifted into his ears, leaving him speechless.
"Mr. Chen."
At that moment, a traffic officer walked over, concerned, and asked, "Do you need us to take you to the hospital?"
Chen Ye was actually a well-known figure in the country.
Even though his reputation hadn't always been good, fame—good or bad—was still fame.
Given his fire ability, unique in the country, it wasn't surprising that he was recognized by the crowd and the traffic officers.
"No need."
Chen Ye waved his hand and said, "That was just the appetizer. There's still a tough battle ahead!"
