Chapter 190: Divine Techniques, Flight

When Lin Jian used his Thought to extract the energy from the opponent’s body, Curly-haired Laine’s body suddenly trembled as if electrocuted.

BOOM.

In just a second or two, Curly-haired Laine crashed heavily to the ground, his fate unknown!

On the other side, Thomas saw Laine’s condition and was filled with dread. These two... they were formidable foes!

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

After Thomas exchanged three blows with Sha Shun, his black gloves suddenly flew off his hands and smashed toward Sha Shun’s face. Sha Shun didn’t even try to dodge; his body continued to barrel toward Thomas like a steamroller! However, at this moment, Thomas’s pale, delicate hands—now freed from the black gloves—ignited with wisps of blue flames.

"Shunzi, watch out!"

SWISH!

Lin Jian was in the middle of sensing the changes in his Dao Fruit, but seeing this scene sent a chill down his spine. How could flames inexplicably ignite on a person’s bare hands? And that blue fire was extremely bizarre. Without hesitation, he lunged toward Thomas!

Sha Shun was also terrified. The opponent had blue flames inside his body? This blue flame was his Superpower. How could Sha Shun dare to meet the flames head-on? Seeing the opponent’s palm strike coming his way, he suddenly exhaled with a sharp shout, and his Dantian Qi burst forth instantly!

BOOM!

An invisible shockwave of Qi erupted from his body, instantly sending Thomas and his approaching Fire Palm flying! Yes, he was blown away by the shockwave. However, Sha Shun’s face turned deathly pale, and he staggered three or four steps backward. That was too close. If that flame had hit him, it would have ended terribly!

Meanwhile, Lin Jian had arrived. His positioning was incredibly clever; almost the exact moment Thomas was blown back by the shockwave, Lin Jian’s hand had already clamped onto his ankle! Once again, he used his Thought to extract!

RUSTLE, RUSTLE, RUSTLE!

The Dao Tree rustled once more, and a Dao Fruit swayed wildly before suddenly dropping down. At the same time, the blue flames on Thomas’s hands vanished. His body convulsed as if he were being electrocuted before he collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!

Lin Jian was left dumbfounded. He could absorb these Superpowers! Superpowers were a supplementary Power favored by the Dao Tree, capable of rapidly ripening the Dao Fruits! The fourth Dao Fruit had fallen!

However, Lin Jian didn’t have time to see what new abilities the Dao Fruit would bring him, as he noticed a police car driving toward the alley entrance.

"Shunzi, grab these two. We’re leaving!"

Lin Jian turned and ran deeper into the darker part of the alley. Sha Shun tucked one under each arm and took large strides to keep up with him. Soon, before the police car arrived, the two had vanished once again.

Fifteen minutes later.

On the rooftop of a skyscraper in the North District, Lin Jian sat cross-legged. Thomas and Curly-haired Laine still hadn’t woken up.

Sha Shun knew that Lin Jian was very powerful and even more mysterious, but he never asked questions.

After closing his eyes, Lin Jian quickly released his Thought. He discovered that its range had expanded three times once again, reaching eight hundred and ten meters.

He thought, "Hmm, my Thought has tripled, so my Power should have tripled as well. But will my Jumping distance also be three times further?

"If I can clear two hundred and seventy meters in a single bound, that would be too incredible."

Lin Jian pondered this for a moment, then stood up. Taking a deep breath, he began to step backward. After retreating more than a dozen meters, he suddenly took a running start and leaped toward a distant rooftop!

SWISH!

One hundred meters... two hundred meters... two hundred and seventy meters! He felt his body gliding in a parabolic arc, carried by momentum, though his Speed wasn’t excessively fast. A moment later, he hit the opposite rooftop and rolled to absorb the impact.

Lin Jian’s mouth hung open in astonishment. He could actually cross a distance of two hundred and seventy meters!

He marveled, "It’s tripled as well! This is unbelievable!"

He felt he was no longer human; how could a human jump two hundred and seventy meters?

He muttered, "Two hundred and seventy meters... isn’t this practically the same as flying?

"Wait, flying?"

The thought of flying suddenly struck him. When the third Dao Fruit fell, he was able to use his Thought to control heavy objects weighing over a hundred pounds. Now that the fourth Dao Fruit had fallen, could his previous theory become a reality? Using his Thought to control his own body, just like controlling throwing knives or nails—allowing his body to glide or turn in the air like a blade...

At this realization, Lin Jian immediately closed his eyes. His Thought enveloped his body, and then... he found that, under the control of his Thought, his body began to slowly rise into the air.

He analyzed, "Hmm, it’s a bit strenuous, but I can handle it.

"It’s a bit shaky. It’s hard to maintain balance.

"This feeling of weightlessness..."

He hovered there, experiencing the myriad sensations of floating in mid-air. After about ten minutes, Lin Jian had essentially mastered his bodily balance. He could keep himself perfectly still and upright, and the sensation of weightlessness was gradually becoming familiar. So, he slowly flew toward the rooftop where Sha Shun was waiting!

This time, it wasn’t Jumping. It was flying through the air! Earlier, it had been a running jump, but now, he was walking on air!

Meanwhile, Sha Shun casually glanced at the night sky, only to be shocked by the sight of Lin Jian returning through the air! Likewise, Thomas and Laine, who had long since woken up, gaped at the flying Lin Jian as if they were looking at a monster!
