Lucas is gasping to breath while looking at the sky, Sasha have said his power is very special and strange even in the High realm but he didn't has a chance against a random guy, this so called special power turned to be useless!
Even the big guy looked at his own fist bewildered, he's a tanker but his power only amplify defense and his strength is just a little above humans without powers, is this guy a normal person?
Everyone looked at the fight that ended in a moment and thought the same thing.
Bai only reacted now that Lucas is heavily injured and with gritted teeth and red eyes he screamed "YOU ASSHOLE!!You like bullying those without powers huh, why didn't you come bully me, your bitch?!" Bai tried stand up but it's like his body is empty and have no energy so he shooted lightning in every direction,even though the lightning traveled just 30 centimeters off his body the ground got stained like charcoal.
"It's useless, my supporter power is not for attack but if I utilize all of my energy in one go he'll paralyze even a elephant in a moment, you could move after the stung it's incredible already, and that ice guy is strong but when Jorge joints the other two he won't last long,so it's better you guys give up" Li Zexu said exhausted but with excitement.
While they are talking, Jorge the big guy who punched Lucas, changed target and went in the direction of Yufei, Yufei's face changed because even they being weak comparable with him they outnumbered he too much and their powers complemented each other, that Jorge is a meat shield, the thin cheeks guy is fast and the last has wind powers that disperses his ice smoke.
Roy in the distance glanced weird at Lucas in the floor, some days ago he thought that he had a power more powerful than himself but now he is defeated by a minion, Roy shakes his head and don't thought more about this, the strong will show themselves in a situation like this.
Lucas's condition is getting worse in the cold ground and he spat blood but he didn't care about that because a sound came in his head.
Tring Tring
(The host obtained a Tier 9 defense meaning and lacks 9 meanings to evolve to Tier 8.) the female voice just said that and disappeared like a mirage.
If not for the rising heat in his body Lucas would think he is listening to ghosts, this heat is making the skin more tight and elastic and his fractured ribs is slowly healing but the bones are more hard and flexible now, his already tall height increased 1 inch becoming with 6 foot and 2 inches but his muscles aren't evolving like his bones and skin, they are much more powerful than before but didn't have a fundamental change.
'Is it because the meaning I obtained is defense?' Lucas thought while sitting and looking around, nobody noticed his change and the fight is ending, Yufei is unscathed but the ice around him is much smaller and he looked breathless while Jorge and the others have cuts everywhere and ice accumulated in the wounds, but Yufei couldn't take down even one of them.
They see Lucas sitting but don't care, just thought he recovered a little, it's impossible that he'll make difference even if he recovered completely, after all they think he is a normal people, just Bai enjoyed that Lucas is alright so he looked at Yufei and know he can't last long so he said to Li Zexu with gritted teeth "We lose and no one received permanent damage so let's end this, that ice guy still have a trump card, if you force him at least one of yours friend will be gone."
Everyone heard this and looked at Li Zexu to know his decision and he knows what Bai said probably is true, using all of his energy in one go he immobilized Bai who probably has the same strength of the ice guy, Yufei has little energy now but his opponents are weaker than him so if he exploded with all his energy killing one is guaranteed and even two is possible, only the thin cheeks guy with speed power can run away, in the end Yufei energy will end and he'll be a fish in the cutting board but half of them won't come back.
When Li Zexu is gonna say to stop, Lucas abruptly stood up and said "This thing already has an owner."
Everyone congealed and even Ryo opened his mouth looking at Lucas, he just was knocked down with a punch and have the courage to say this!?They feel he's a little different now and a little more tall but in such short time nobody can have such change, they don't think that the knock down just now is false, they heard the bones cracking and blood coming out of his mouth, was he thinking that the cuts and the ice wounds in Jorge group will diminished their combat power so much?
Ryo got interested, that day in the school his junior said that Lucas is only average in everything and such person isn't arrogant normally, and the most outstanding thing about him is his friend who was one of the top freshman, of course before the era of powers, now they don't know who is the best students because everyone is getting better everyday and the only who go to school now is the ones that haven't powers or don't have ambitious or don't like fighting.
So Ryo thinks that his ego inflated or he has confidence, and Ryo prefers the second case because the humanity needs such people now, he don't think only because he got stronger he's the humanity savior, several people probably encotred a stone like that, and want everything just to a few people isn't the way to humanity progress.
Li Zexu is cautious so he thinks this to, but he prefers that Lucas has a inflated ego, while everyone is distracted Yufei attacked the young man with wind powers, the slash is going in the direction of the head of the young man, he urgently activated his wind powers and throw himself back and the wind possibility little maneuvers in the air so he escaped but his energy halved and his back is cold, that knife was going to cut his head in two.
Yufei clicked his tongue and escaped to the cavern, he knows this is his last chance.The young man with wind powers is angry, he almost got killed and the guy is trying to escape, he went after him but a figure appeared in his front and it's the thin cheeks guy and he said "Do you want to die?We together was dangerous fighting with him and you want go after him."
The wind guy realized the danger and thanked the thin cheeks guy "It's close, if I go after him you guys wound only find my body somewhere."
"Don't worry, it's reward time, let's get that stone and let the Senior use that, so we will have a godlike supporter and finding others stones will be easy and we all will be godlike too" said the thin cheeks guy with a smile.
Lucas looked at the guys celebrating and want vomit blood, they ignored him so much, even a insect will not be ignored like that.The thin cheeks guy and the wind guy perceived the atmosphere and looked at center of the little valley and Lucas is there, they are stunned, they forgot about that guy.
Li Zexu looked at the three young men and they understood, Jorge went to Lucas saying "I'll do it, I already knocked down you once, one more time is nothing."
Jorge punched Lucas and even if Lucas body got stronger he don't know how to fight so he could only criscoss his arms to defend, Jorge didn't even change the trajectory of the punch and hit Lucas's guard with confidence, but there as loud clash but nothing more, everyone looked at Lucas who didn't retreat a step and doubted if Jorge showed mercy, but Jorge is terrorized because his fist is a little red, even the ice dagger of Yufei only leaved white marks in his fist, he has cuts only in the sensible parts of the body like the joints or the belly.
Lucas is surprised, he thought that his defense is on same level of Jorge but apparently is much stronger, but his strength only would hurt Jorge and defeating him is almost impossible, he has more experience too so they are in a impasse, but Jorge don't know his strength isn't sufficient to defeat him, so it's better change opponents and see if the condition of the system or whatever that voice are is suffer a different attack, if he could get the speed power it'll be easy to resolve the rest.
