Chapter 264: Saitama's Dream Message—Breaking the Limiter (Important Chapter)
After returning from the marketplace with supplies, Chen Ye re-entered the cave.
"Mr. Sun, I sincerely apologize for not being able to free you in time."
"It's alright, this isn't your fault," Sun Wukong replied politely. "I've seen everything—you've already done your best."
A trapped Sun Wukong was understanding and reasonable.
But once freed, this monkey would be a completely different story.
"Tathagata's power is too strong. For now, I truly have no means to break it. However, I know someone who can definitely help you escape—I've already sent someone to find him."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was momentarily stunned.
Chen Ye referring to Tathagata as "that old Tathagata" was far from respectful. This instantly made Sun Wukong feel a sense of camaraderie.
As long as someone was Tathagata's enemy, they were his friend!
"Oh? There's such a person? If he can help me escape, then his power must be extraordinary! Is he easy to find?"
Sun Wukong's tone carried a rare hint of sincerity. "Mr. Chen, just don't push yourself too hard!"
"Don't worry! Mr. Sun, the person I'm talking about is the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada. Right now, he's just an ordinary person. The friends I sent should be able to bring him here soon."
Chen Ye smiled and pulled out some food and wine. "Mr. Sun, waiting around is boring. Why don't we have a drink together?"
During his trip down the mountain, he had bought plenty of food.
Not only were there bananas and peaches, but also roast chicken, braised goose, and other meats.
All of them were monkey favorites.
Sun Wukong's eyes lit up immediately, and he almost drooled at the aroma of the food.
"Wow! Mr. Chen, you're really generous!"
Rubbing his hands together, Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, "Then I won't hold back!"
With that, he grabbed a roast chicken and started devouring it.
Chen Ye chuckled and poured him a bowl of wine.
"Mr. Sun, take your time. If it's not enough, I can always get more."
"Good, good, good! Ah, this is delicious… Mr. Chen, you should eat too."
As Sun Wukong feasted ravenously, food from the table continuously disappeared into his mouth.
Even though these were just ordinary mortal foods…
For a monkey who hadn't eaten in five hundred years, these dishes were far more delicious than the feasts of the Celestial Palace he had once enjoyed.
In the days that followed…
Chen Ye would go down the mountain daily to buy fresh food for Sun Wukong and chat with him.
The two talked about all sorts of things.
Sun Wukong was an excellent storyteller and recounted many of his past experiences to Chen Ye.
Listening to his tales, Chen Ye realized that this world was vastly different from the traditional Journey to the West.
The biggest difference was in power scaling.
This world was essentially a weakened version.
Even the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were only slightly stronger than ordinary humans.
Someone like Lord Void, despite being mortal, could rank as an elite among immortals.
Time passed quickly.
Before long…
Over a month had gone by.
Yet, the powerful reincarnators still hadn't appeared, making Chen Ye wonder if he had been tricked.
Of course, whether or not he had been deceived, he continued making his preparations.
Now, his father, President Chen, had already completed the second and third missions—only the first remained: protecting Miss Duan for 128 days.
At this point, there were about ten days left to complete it.
Regardless of whether the reincarnators showed up or not, once time was up, Chen Ye would leave on schedule.
There was also some good news.
Today, Chen Ye's attributes had officially reached the milestone of ten thousand.
Name: Chen Ye
Constitution: 10,000
Spirit: 2,206
Strength: 10,000
Agility: 10,000
Talent: Saitama Physique
Available Potential Points: 0
This was Chen Ye's current status.
Truly… unprecedented!
If this were made public, it would terrify countless people.
That night…
Chen Ye entered his dreams once more and found himself seeing Saitama.
In the dream, Saitama was engaged in an intense battle against the cosmic overlord, Boros.
He watched with his own eyes as Saitama unleashed a Serious Punch, reducing Boros to nothing but skin and bones…
The power behind that punch was earth-shattering!
Just as Boros took his final breath, Saitama suddenly turned his gaze toward "Chen Ye"!
The next moment—
Time and space distorted.
When Chen Ye regained his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.
Standing before him was Saitama, staring at him curiously.
"So, you're the one who inherited my power?"
Saitama spoke in a calm and upright tone.
Chen Ye was momentarily stunned but then answered seriously, "Yes."
Saitama asked again, "What do you want this power for?"
Chen Ye originally wanted to say that his interest was in becoming a hero! But after thinking about it, he chose to answer truthfully, "To protect myself, to protect those I care about, and to safeguard everything I cherish from harm!"
He was Chen Ye.
Not Saitama!
"Your answer is different from what I expected! But well… it's acceptable."
A faint smile appeared on the usually expressionless face of Saitama.
He didn't give any lengthy speech, merely saying, "Then I'll give you my power. I hope you make good use of it…"
As his words fell—
Saitama's entire body transformed into a stream of light and passed through Chen Ye.
"Huff!"
Chen Ye abruptly woke from his dream, his eyes snapping open.
Looking outside, he saw that daylight had already arrived.
At this moment, he was lying inside a cave—not the same cave as Sun Wukong, but a separate, smaller one.
The reason he didn't sleep in the same cave as Sun Wukong was simple: he still had his guard up against the monkey.
What if Sun Wukong went berserk while he was asleep?
After stretching lazily under the sunlight, Chen Ye stepped out of the cave.
That was when he immediately noticed changes in his body…
Previously, as his attributes improved, he could feel the immense power surging within him.
But now, he realized that he could control his strength at will, as if it were a part of his very being. More than that, he could sense—his potential had no upper limit.
It was an indescribable sensation.
Aside from changes in his strength, there were also other significant transformations.
He couldn't pinpoint them all at once and would need proper testing.
Without hesitation—
Chen Ye began his training for the day.
He took it very seriously…
Twenty minutes later.
After completing all his training exercises, Chen Ye opened his status panel and was met with a pleasant surprise!
Name: Chen Ye
Constitution: 10,020
Spirit: 2,206
Strength: 10,020
Agility: 10,020
Talent: Saitama Physique
Available Potential Points: 0
His three primary attributes had increased by 20 points—twice the usual amount.
Chen Ye was overjoyed and immediately connected it to the dream he had last night!
"Saitama in my dream said he was giving me all his power… So, is this the source of my changes?"
As he was lost in thought—
A few figures appeared at the mountaintop…
