470: The first person to be given the character Kun

"What!"

Commander Falakunmier was startled by the sudden turn of events.

He could feel that the Mental Energy on this golden light was far stronger than Rank 23.

Could it be that this intruder's Mental Energy was not Rank 23, but even higher?

But previously, in his consciousness, the Blue Cat that had fought against him was indeed Rank 23.

Not only that, at this instant, Commander Falakunmier suddenly felt that the suppression on him was gone.

Had the Blue Cat disappeared?

Without time to think, his body swiftly moved to the side, trying to avoid the two golden lights.

However, the distance between him and Chen Du was too close, and the timing of the opponent's ability activation was too perfect.

It was precisely at the moment his attack was launched.

Although the suppression was lifted, Commander Falakunmier still couldn't completely avoid the two golden lights and was struck by one of them.

His body froze instantly on the spot.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Chen Du breathed a little, showing fatigue.

War Stomp was an ability he Awakened when his Mental Energy reached Rank 10.

It was a control-type Martial Skill.

This ability wasn't very effective in actual combat; Chen Du mostly used it for interrogation.

It was still the same saying: the characteristics of an ability are secondary; what's primary is the Martial Artist himself.

Here, "himself" naturally referred to the Mental Energy Rank.

Even the powerful Nimble Cats Grace required Chen Du's exceptionally high Mental Energy Rank to have such a suppressive effect; otherwise, it would be useless.

War Stomp was the Unique ability among all of Chen Du's abilities that required charging to achieve its maximum effect.

Although Chen Du's Mental Energy exceeded the opponent's by 6 Ranks, it was a pity that whether this move hit or not was unrelated to Mental Energy Rank; Mental Energy Rank and charging time only determined the duration of the immobilization.

Whether it hit or not largely depended on acting!

If you didn't trick the opponent into getting close, this move would be very easy to dodge.

Before closing his eyes, Chen Du had actually already begun charging, but at that time, the charging time was not enough, and no golden light had condensed in his eyes.

After this strike, Chen Du discovered a mechanism.

That was, the Mental Energy ability Nimble Cats Grace could not coexist with other Mental Energy abilities.

War Stomp was fine during the charging phase, but during the release phase, Nimble Cats Grace was directly interrupted.

It was precisely because of this reason that his 30% suppression on Commander Falakunmier was lifted.

The opponent's original speed and strength were already superior to his, and now with the environmental bonus from the blood pool, the gap was even larger.

Even a close-range attack might be dodged by the opponent, but fortunately, this strike contained an element of surprise; perhaps the opponent himself didn't know that the suppression would suddenly disappear.

If he had known, this strike might have missed.

Once it missed, Chen Du would only be able to use Bloom.

But fortunately, even though only one golden light hit, it still "relatively immobilized" the opponent.

This immobilization was different from the usual complete stillness; the opponent was like a person with 0.5 Life Strength walking in a swimming pool—very slow, but indeed moving.

Chen Du's Mental Energy exceeded the opponent's by 6 Ranks, but their Martial Skills were on par, and his Life Strength Rank lagged far behind.

These were all factors in the immobilization, but Mental Energy accounted for the largest portion.

Although he had the advantage in the main portion, only one hit meant the effect was naturally not as desired.

It didn't achieve the desired effect in his heart, but it did meet the escape standard. Seeing this, Chen Du turned and flew away without a word.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to strike now.

First, a fully charged War Stomp would have a "concentration" action, condensing all currently unused Mental Energy into his eyes.

After release, it would "return."

This return process required a few seconds, during which Chen Du could not use other Mental Energy.

This meant that for a few seconds, he couldn't use Nimble Cats Grace to suppress the opponent.

And without suppression, Commander Falakunmier's strength was significantly higher than his.

Even if he attacked, it wouldn't cause much damage.

Because the action of force is mutual; you attacking him and him attacking you are essentially the same.

For example, if one wooden board holds another wooden board in place, whoever hits whom will have the same effect.

So-called combat, to put it plainly, is a collision of forces.

The meaning of a sneak attack is that the opponent cannot be in a state of 100% full concentration of power, like now.

Even if he waited 3 seconds for Nimble Cats Grace to be usable again, Chen Du could indeed cause damage to the opponent, but it would only be damage, not enough to kill him.

Once the War Stomp's duration ended, he would have no chance to escape.

Therefore, this was the plan Chen Du had thought of from the beginning.

Stop the opponent, then retreat.

"You... give..."

Commander Falakunmier originally wanted to use Mental Energy to say, "You stand still," but his Mental Energy was like ice, completely still, unable to speak at all.

Out of anger, he instinctively opened his mouth.

But unfortunately, Chen Du's departure speed exceeded 15 times the speed of sound; his words couldn't catch up at all.

Just like that, 10 seconds after Chen Du left, Commander Falakunmier's body completely regained movement, but his Mental Energy remained in a frozen state, unusable in the slightest.

"Damn it!"

"He actually got away!"

The distance he could cover in 10 seconds wasn't far, just out of the Valley of Evil, but the problem was he didn't know Chen Du's location.

"No, I can't just let him run away like this."

"If it's embarrassing, then so be it."

Commander Falakunmier took out his Crystal Wings and activated the communication function:

Beep beep beep... beep beep beep... "Is there anything, Commander Falakunmier?"

After a minute-long wait, a lazy voice came through.

"It's like this, Sha Mi Kun..."

Immediately, Commander Falakunmier recounted almost the entire incident that had just occurred.

Of course, Chen Du killed everyone, and it had nothing to do with him.

"A Rank 21 Underground Heavens Chosen King?"

"Mental Energy suppression, you say? It just so happens that Mental Energy is my specialty."

"Interesting, even you, a Rank 25 Advanced Aerial Warrior, couldn't take him down."

Commander Falakunmier felt these words were a bit harsh to hear, so he interrupted:

"Here's his hair; your 'Tracking' can pinpoint him."

"Capture him alive and bring him back; I owe you a favor."

"The Valley of Evil is under my jurisdiction; such an incident requires an explanation!"

As a Rank 25 Advanced Aerial Warrior, Commander Falakunmier failing to deal with a Rank 21 Sky Soaring Warrior was a very embarrassing matter, but there was nothing he could do.

So many people had died here; it couldn't be dismissed with just a few words.

"Alright, but I still have some matters to attend to here. Bring his hair and come find me; I'll set off once I'm done."

"Don't worry, he went to such great lengths to escape; he definitely won't return Underground so quickly. As long as he doesn't return Underground, I can find him."

After Commander Falakunmier agreed, he ended the communication.

Then he picked up his Crystal Wings again and called several members of the Enforcement Team, who were originally on vacation, back to work.

Every second of the Ascension Passage had to be guarded.

Then, he bent down, picked up a black hair from the Surface, and muttered to himself:

"Sha Mi Kun is not only the first person in our civilization to be bestowed the character 'Kun,' but also, in terms of Rank, second only to the Great Leader within our civilization."

"With him on the job, it's absolutely foolproof!"

Finally, after seeing several teams rushing over, Commander Falakunmier left the Valley of Evil and flew in a certain direction.
