Esper X Family – Chapter 405 – Space Battle! Challenging the Dayun Truck Again

Ye Tong’s figure silently appeared in the residential area of the Countermeasures Bureau.

This time, she didn’t enter through the main gate but trespassed into the airspace without permission.

This undoubtedly meant that she had come here for a specific purpose.

Lou Wei, who had been sitting on the sofa deep in thought, raised his eyes. He walked to the balcony and floated up into the air, staring at the silver-haired girl across from him in prolonged silence.

“What do you want?”

“What else? To challenge you again.”

Ye Tong didn’t beat around the bush. Her declaration was simple: fight and win.

Without a doubt, she was here for “revenge”.

Lou Wei felt a mix of emotions.

After the last Vengeful Spirit incident, Ye Tong hadn’t appeared before him.

Even when she swapped places with Ye Yao at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, she only met with Fu Qi and the others.

Aside from mentioning him a few times during livestreams, she showed no intention of meeting face to face with him.

Sometimes, Lou Wei genuinely wondered if his reaction back then had made Ye Tong feel wronged.

Otherwise, why would she later complain to Xiao Jing?

Now that they had met again, he hadn’t expected it to be for a duel.

Her previous defeats must’ve left her deeply unsatisfied, and this time she wanted to officially wash away that humiliation.

“Alright.”

Lou Wei simply nodded without hesitation.

He had never been one for long-winded speeches. In fact, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything warm.

Lou Wei could only express himself through actions.

Xiao Jing had told him to treat Ye Tong like a daughter.

But it was far from that simple.

Lou Wei was fully aware of his standing in Ye Tong’s heart.

If he tried to act like her “Father”, he would probably get hissed at in disgust.

There was no need to force it. He just needed to satisfy her wishes.

Reαⅾ on КαtRеаⅾіnɡСаfе

That was the most reasonable way to coexist, as Lou Wei had come to understand.

Ye Tong curled her lips into a satisfied smile, showing a restless, battle-hungry grin.

Here it comes!

This moment has finally arrived!

The chance to wash away the shame, turn the tables, and become the strongest is right here, right now!

That detestable Lou Wei had once bullied her for being small and weak, squashing her into a cat pancake time and again!

She still clearly remembered that helpless feeling of facing a stat monster.

But things were different now.

Ye Tong would show Lou Wei what a real stat monster looked like!

“Let’s to outer space. I want to fight you with everything I’ve got!”

Ye Tong’s spirited voice reached Lou Wei’s ears.

It was almost exactly the same as the emotion Ye Yao showed when playing games with him.

Both were intense, overwhelming fighting spirit.

It was no wonder. As an ability avatar who had replicated Ye Yao’s personality, she was still so similar even after going down a different path.

Ye Tong was the first to unleash her powerful mental power, briefly using Attribute Fission just to boost her speed and fly into space.

With her stats at 90,000, even Lou Wei in his normal state felt considerable pressure.

Seems like she’s serious.

Lou Wei’s expression turned extremely grave. He felt like this might also be an opportunity for him.

The wind howled.

Lou Wei casually set up a mental defense line around the residential area, then shot into the sky, following Ye Tong’s figure.

The previous battle took place over the ocean, the one before that high in the sky, and the current battlefield would be even vaster.

Above the atmosphere, in outer space!

Correspondingly, the scale of this battle would far exceed any before.

Rеаԁ оո KаtRеaԁіոɡСаfe

Both Lou Wei and Ye Tong had grown stronger.

Using Bluestar as the battlefield would only harm innocent lives.

Their figures were so tiny in space, like two specks of dust.

“Lou Wei, you know I don’t like it when people hold back, right?”

The voice, carried by mental energy, reached his ears.

Lou Wei’s expression was extremely serious.

“Mm.”

How could he not know?

When he had watched Ye Tong play games with Fu Qi from above last time, Ye Tong had made her stance clear.

Only by defeating an opponent who gave their all could she feel a sense of achievement.

If he held back, it wouldn’t make her happy at all.

Ye Yao was different in that regard.

When playing games with him, she often made requests like “let me land a combo”, “give me ten seconds”, or “let me win round”, asking him to go easy on her.

Lou Wei knew very well that if Ye Tong found out he wasn’t giving it his all, it might worsen their relationship further.

And he would likely never get a chance to reconcile with Ye Yao.

If he wanted Ye Yao to calmly accept the truth, Ye Tong was undoubtedly the key.

“I will give it my all.”

“Yes! That’s exactly it!”

Beneath the dark canvas of space, Ye Tong’s silver hair cascaded like a waterfall as she floated across from Lou Wei.

An almost tangible flame burned in her eyes. It was the pent-up fighting spirit and the determination to wash away her shame.

Ye Tong was like a gamer standing before the boss room, filled with nothing but fighting spirit!

The feeling is here!

Her condition was great right now. She could definitely chain a combo and kill her opponent outright.

A mental power stat of 300 might not be enough.

Against a fully committed Lou Wei, 90,000 mental power would probably only make them evenly matched.

Rеaⅾ оո КаtRеаⅾinɡСаfe

She had to use all of her unallocated attribute points!

She couldn’t let that damned system take any more kickbacks!

Deep Blue, add points for me ¹ A reference to the Qidian novel《极道天魔》(Way of the Devil), where the protagonist’s cheat is called Deep Blue Skills Cheating Device, based on the Deep Blue computer that beat the world champion in Chess. !

Ye Tong briefly deactivated Attribute Fission and promptly used all of her unallocated attribute points.

【Ability: Fission】

【Mental Power: 300 → 400】

Allocation complete.

Let the battle begin!

Attribute Fission!

Whoosh—

It wasn’t a physical sound, but a tsunami of pure mental power roaring through the void!

Ye Tong’s entire body suddenly burst into blinding light. It wasn’t flames, but a torrent of hyper-compressed mental power.

The numbers were transforming!

There was no gradual climb, just a super-long-distance leap from one point to another!

【Mental Power: 160,000】

I’ve started up.

I’ve started up!

This was the first time Ye Tong had broken past 100,000 mental power without relying on Family Hero mode.

It was undoubtedly a brand-new experience!

Ye Tong checked her condition. She could still control herself, her thoughts were crystal clear, her will was firm, and her goal of defeating Lou Wei was extremely clear.

There was no need for the system to guide her. This was power she could freely command!

Unparalleled POWAH!

Who could defeat her now?

No one!

Beneath Attribute Fission lay Myriad Things Fission.

Reаⅾ on КаtRеаԁіոɡСafе

And Myriad Things Fission maximized her mechanics.

At equal stats, she could undoubtedly delete Lou Wei in an instant.

Time to get cocky!

Come on, Dayun Truck. Let’s see whose tonnage is greater!

Under that unrestrained aura of mental power, Espers all over the world felt their hearts skip a beat simultaneously, each sensing a faint tremor within their own mental power.

Ye Tong’s presence expanded infinitely on the spiritual level.

Like a second sun suddenly rising in the pitch-black night sky, its radiance was not warm, but carried an overwhelming pressure capable of crushing anything!

At the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters, Fu Qi’s body jolted. He snapped his head toward the night sky, already vaguely sensing those two familiar presences.

“What’s happening? What are they trying to do? Not even a single notice? I’m the Countermeasures Bureau Director!”

How could he possibly work now? The Strongest of the Current Era and the Future Strongest were about to duke it out!

As the Strongest in History, he had to rush to the scene immediately!

How could he miss a spectacle like this?

“Attention all personnel. Prepare to calm public emotions and manage public opinion. Don’t let this incident cause panic.”

After relaying instructions to all major departments, Fu Qi used spatial transfer to head straight to the scene.

Like a perfectly qualified bloodthirsty spectator.

He definitely wasn’t going just to watch Lou Wei get humiliated. He just wanted to step in at the critical moment to prevent the conflict from escalating.

Yes, exactly that.

Author Note

Something’s wrong, very wrong. Right when I started the bounty, I saw the gift value at 3488. Last month’s numbers hadn’t refreshed yet, so it didn’t count. Now, I see it’s 3553, but looking at the donation leaderboard, it feels like it still hasn’t refreshed. How many extra chapters do I owe? 😨
