Esper X Family – Chapter 200 – Would You Lose?

Lou Wei steadied himself in the sea of clouds.

Ye Yao’s unexpected attack had indeed caught him off guard.

The sheer impact of her immense mental power was displayed to its fullest extent.

He was also capable of using such an offensive technique.

But when the skill in manipulation was equal, the numerical gap became an insurmountable chasm.

If he hadn’t reacted swiftly and used his mental power to neutralize most of the damage, that strike would’ve inflicted significant injuries.

The pressure in Lou Wei’s heart surged.

It had been a long time since anyone had pushed him to this extent.

Although his strongest trump card was restricted, it was still something to marvel at.

“Hee!”

Ye Yao’s spirits were high, and she pressed her advantage without mercy.

As a master in the gaming world, she knew that once an enemy was staggered, she had to press the attack.

Her mental power began to gather once more, ready to turn her advantage into victory.

This was exactly the effect Ye Yao wanted.

To prevent Lou Wei from unleashing his terrifying power that required “warm-up”.

So what if he was a Dayun Truck?

Without the time to evolve into a Cybertronian, he was nothing more than scrap metal!

There was no panic in Lou Wei’s eyes.

Instead, they burned with an even fiercer fighting spirit.

Over the years, his blood had gradually cooled under the weight of responsibility.

The fiery passion of youth no longer suited him.

He had always relied on steadfast rationality to act.

But Ye Tong’s effective attack seemed to awaken memories of life-and-death battles with enemies from his past.

Memories from before he reached the pinnacle.

The stirring in his heart was not false.

Now, back in reality.

There was no need to go all out against this inexperienced opponent.

The skills he had honed through countless battles hadn’t faded.

Even if he had to clean them from the dust of history, they could still prove to be useful.

He took a deep breath, as if drawing the essence of the entire sky into his body.

“Selfless Form.”

Two words, low and clear.

With a strange rhythm, they instantly drowned out the howling wind.

Ye Yao felt a sense of foreboding and quickly assessed the situation.

【Ability: Wind Rising and Clouds Gathering.

Mental Power: 18,512

Strength: 1

Stamina: 1

Agility: 1】

【Lou Wei used “Selfless Form”, converging the divided power within himself into one, fully merging it with his ability.】

Ye Yao: “???”

What kind of move is this!?

Lou Wei’s aura underwent a sudden transformation.

He was no longer the king commanding the winds and clouds. Instead, he had become one with the heavens and earth.

The light in his eyes receded, becoming like a deep, ancient well; calm on the surface yet profoundly unfathomable.

The energy radiating from his body no longer raged chaotically.

Instead, it flowed, compressed, and condensed in a mysterious pattern.

The clouds that had been torn apart by Ye Yao’s violent mental power now seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand.

They obediently encircled him like connected veins.

Appearing as both the sturdiest shield and the sharpest weapon.

His “stats”, whether in energy intensity or control precision, had undergone a qualitative leap in this form.

Instantly narrowing the gap in mental power with Ye Yao.

Even if he hadn’t surpassed her, it had greatly weakened Ye Yao’s single offensive method.

After all, Lou Wei possessed not only mental power but also his ability!

Moreover.

Lou Wei didn’t seem to have only improved in mental power.

Rеаԁ оո КatRеaԁіոgСαfе

Ye Yao’s heart tightened.

She felt as though her target had vanished.

Yet, at the same time, he seemed to be everywhere.

Her next wave of mental impact surged forth.

But it was like crashing into an endless sea of clouds.

The terrifying attack was neutralized by an immense amount of mental power.

The remaining force was dispersed, scattered, and swallowed by the swirling clouds, its effectiveness greatly diminished.

Lou Wei stood at the center of the cloud vortex, his figure elusive.

Every shift caused the clouds to transform endlessly.

He deftly guided, deflected, and even redirected Ye Yao’s powerful but singular mental attacks.

The gap in combat experience became glaringly obvious once Lou Wei entered the “Selfless Form.”

Then, Lou Wei’s ethereal voice reached Ye Yao’s ears.

“You’ve entered this realm too recently and haven’t grasped its true essence.

You seem to only know how to overwhelm opponents with sheer mental power. Your foundation is too weak, and your strength is too superficial.”

Ye Yao was a bit annoyed.

What did he mean by “superficial”?

Her mental power had been painstakingly increased by the system!

The source was clear and undeniable.

It should be more solid than any Esper’s!

Lou Wei seemed to sense Ye Tong’s emotions.

“The technique I’m using is something you should be able to learn. In fact, it’s a skill that any S-rank Esper can master.”

“But it seems you disdain learning it. An S-rank Esper cannot rely solely on overwhelming mental power. You’re too impatient.”

She was speechless.

Ye Yao didn’t know how to refute.

This “Selfless Form” seemed a bit useless.

Who would add all their other stats to mental power?

Except for mental power, her panel had stats of 25 across the board after fission.

Even if she added all those stats into mental power, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Rеаd oո КαtReaԁinɡCаfе

The skill seemed to have other uses as well.

But Ye Yao didn’t care.

Brute force was the way to go!

She couldn’t drag this out any longer.

The remaining duration of her fission body wouldn’t allow it.

She had to make Lou Wei suffer once more!

Ye Yao’s mental attacks remained ferocious.

Each strike was powerful enough to shatter mountains.

Explosions tore massive holes in the sea of clouds.

But Lou Wei’s movements were ghostly.

The clouds followed his will, and the wind moved with his body.

He no longer met her head-on.

Instead, he used exquisite cloud manipulation to create illusions, slow space, and refract attacks.

With a light tap of his finger.

A razor-sharp wind blade tore through Ye Yao’s hastily erected mental barrier.

With a gentle grasp of his hand.

The churning clouds transformed into massive chains that coiled toward Ye Yao’s black mist.

“Gah!”

Not good!

Ye Yao began to feel the strain.

Her explosive power was like a heavy hammer.

But Lou Wei now resembled flowing water and gentle wind.

The hammer couldn’t hit the flowing water, nor could it grasp the wind.

Ye Yao felt as though she wasn’t fighting a person.

But the wind and clouds themselves!

This was undoubtedly another effect of the “Selfless Form”!

Abandoning other numerical advantages, he focused his mental power entirely on his ability.

Achieving a unity of heaven and man!

Rеaⅾ oո KatReαdіnɡСαfе

If Ye Yao’s mental power had been ten thousand higher, she might have broken through with force.

But now, the gap wasn’t large enough, and she was trapped in a battle of attrition!

Lou Wei’s counterattacks precisely targeted the gaps in her offense and the weaknesses in her defense.

Wind blades cut through space.

Leaving deep marks on the mental field she had erected.

Ye Yao was starting to sweat.

On her side, she only knew high damage on the left and high damage on the right.

How did Lou Wei start using techniques and crushing her with skill?

Weren’t they both supposed to both be stat monsters?

How did he turn into a skill monster?

“Sister, you’re a bit warm.”

Luo Jianhua’s voice reached her ears.

The girl’s soft cheek pressed against hers, as if checking her temperature.

It felt refreshing to Ye Yao.

It wasn’t that Luo Jianhua’s temperature had dropped.

But Ye Yao’s temperature had risen!

“Would you lose?”

Luo Jianhua seemed to guess the reason for Ye Yao’s rising temperature.

At those words.

Ye Yao’s blood pressure instantly spiked.

“Nah, I’d win!”
