Esper X Family – Chapter 407 – Exclusive Form Skill! Solar Corona Form! (1/7)

Lou Wei’s startup speed wasn’t slow.

He activated all three forms almost simultaneously.

Ye Tong had reached her current galactic battleship scale by leveraging her ability and the system’s advantages.

Lou Wei, on the other hand, relied on his own potential and versatile techniques to earn the qualification to face a galactic battleship.

Although their stats differed by a factor of two, his aura was in no way inferior to Ye Tong’s.

No wind existed in space, yet Lou Wei’s mental power had formed a storm swirling around him.

Fu Qi felt an unprecedented sense of pressure just by staring at him from the edge.

Keep in mind that he hadn’t even used his most powerful Celestial Form yet.

However, the mere activation of Future, Balanced, and Selfless Forms already matched the oppressive force Fu Qi had previously generated with Future, Selfless, and Celestial Forms combined.

It was unimaginable what Lou Wei could achieve at full power.

Fu Qi once again realized just how high the ceiling “Tong Yao” had raised was.

An eruption of this scale was something they wouldn’t have dared to dream of before.

“Ruler Form.”

As another obscure form skill activated, Lou Wei’s presence continued to amplify in Ye Tong’s perception.

But this amplification felt different from the previous ones.

Ye Tong perceived more this time.

She perceived Lou Wei’s will.

Unwavering fighting spirit willing to stake everything, without a trace of regret, and the determination to achieve something at all cost.

Mixed within was the sacrifice he was willing to make to save the world, along with the man’s all-or-nothing determination, and perhaps an obsession with a certain matter.

It was easy to imagine that after activating Ruler Form, Lou Wei was no longer a mature and steady man, but someone brimming with vibrant emotion and drive.

In this contest of will alone, Ye Tong found herself at a disadvantage.

Reαԁ oո КatRеaⅾіոɡСafе

She felt a faint crack of hesitation in her heart.

This Ruler Form is seriously eerie!

Can I win? Can I really win?

Nah, I’d win. I’ll definitely win!

Right now, she had stats of 160,000. With Myriad Things Fission, she could tie a dog to it and still win.

There was no reason she couldn’t beat Lou Wei.

Besides, only two weeks had passed since her upgrade. Lou Wei couldn’t have grown to an unbeatable level yet.

Sure, reaching 500 in mental power would guarantee a win, but that would be boring and take who knows how long.

This time, she absolutely mustn’t be crushed into a cat pancake like last time!

She had finally made such bold claims. Wouldn’t it be humiliating to fail miserably?

And with Fu Qi acting as a bloodthirsty spectator, she mustn’t lose!

If she lost, her “Ye Tong” alias might as well be changed.

There was still the final Celestial Form!

She would strike once Lou Wei used his last form.

But Ye Tong had an ominous feeling. Lou Wei in this state seemed far from simple.

As Ye Tong thought.

With Ruler Form activated, Lou Wei entered a mysterious and profound state.

All distracting thoughts were eliminated in this form, everything serving a single purpose.

Lou Wei’s current thought was undoubtedly to show his strongest self and satisfy Ye Tong.

Rеaԁ оո ΚаtRеαdiոɡСαfe

In other words, it was a kind of “make-believe” game.

But how could he satisfy her?

If he wasn’t strong enough, he wouldn’t be able to meet Ye Tong’s expectations, nor could he become a qualified “father”.

At this moment, Lou Wei was undoubtedly obsessed with the word “father”.

Xiao Jing’s words were not without reason.

He had to change and become stronger.

The Celestial Form was far from enough.

The figure of “Tong Yao” flashed within Lou Wei’s mind, perfectly overlapping with Ye Tong not far away.

The essence of the Celestial Form was absorbing energy from Bluestar. Now that he was in space, its effectiveness would inevitably be weakened.

He had to develop an even stronger form!

Only then could he earn the recognition of the power-hungry Ye Tong as her “father”.

With this thought, Lou Wei’s high comprehension kicked in.

He cut apart and reassembled a vast number of possibilities, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.

Ye Tong read it.

【Lou Wei knows full well that he is not strong enough to give you sufficiently high feedback and a sense of achievement. Therefore, he has used his exceptional comprehension, bolstered by the four major form skills, to comprehend an unprecedented exclusive form skill.】

Ye Tong: “???”

What does that mean?

Who’s the main character here?

How can you just take out a cheat mid-battle like that?

Rеαⅾ оn KаtRеаⅾiոɡCαfе

What exclusive form skill?

What are you doing!?

She saw a glint of gold flash in Lou Wei’s eyes.

“Solar Corona Form!”

Lou Wei’s shout exploded silently in the vacuum of space.

The mental power and determination contained within shook the cold cosmic dust like tangible ripples!

The fleeting golden light in his eyes was no illusion.

It was a precursor to a fundamental transformation in the nature of his internal energy.

As he had realized, there may be no wind or clouds in space, but stars have wind!

The torrent of high-energy particles erupting from the Sun’s eternally blazing core was the most primal and violent “wind” permeating the entire solar system!

Under the four forms, Lou Wei’s mental power storm didn’t dissipate. Instead, it oscillated and extended at an unprecedented frequency.

It no longer tried to manipulate nonexistent air, but like countless invisible probes, it precisely pierced into the thin yet omnipresent particle stream of the solar wind.

He “felt” the protons and electrons racing at hundreds of kilometers per second.

He “touched” the stellar energy carrying terrifying kinetic energy and radiation.

This wasn’t the gentle nor raging flow of air he was familiar with.

This was the breathing of a star, an energy tide on a cosmic scale.

The core of Lou Wei’s ability to “manipulate wind and clouds” was the perception and control of “flowing energy”.

With multiple form skills activated in succession, his ability had, in a sense, been reborn.

At this moment, under the extreme enhancement of his ultra-high comprehension and the four forms, this essence was forcibly broadened and elevated, pointing toward the stellar wind.

Ye Tong’s expression completely stiffened.

She perceived an unprecedented energy.

At first, it was just a trickle.

Rеαԁ оn ΚatReаԁiոɡCafe

Several threads of searing, visible energy were seemingly pulled by invisible hands, winding their way from the distant Sun and merged into the mental power storm around Lou Wei.

Then, the trickle became a torrent!

With Lou Wei at the center, an invisible cosmic vortex seemed to appear.

A vast stream of solar wind particles was frantically captured and absorbed!

The scale was so immense that it outlined a faintly visible, gold-red energy funnel converging toward Lou Wei against the pitch-black backdrop.

This stellar energy didn’t directly damage his body.

Instead, under the regulation of the Balanced Form and the refined control of the Selfless Form, it was rapidly transformed and purified, integrating into his own energy system.

A molten gold-like luster began to flow beneath his skin.

His black coat billowed without wind, and every strand of his hair seemed to be infused with the sun’s radiance, gently fluttering and radiating an awe-inspiring pressure.

His presence in Ye Tong’s perception was no longer “amplified”. It was “ignited” like a supernova explosion!

Seeing Lou Wei’s aura still skyrocketing, Ye Tong’s heart sank into deep doubt and confusion.

Had she… really buffed the Dayun Truck to this extent?

Ye Tong panicked.

What does Solar Corona Form mean?

You bastard, you old man! Look at me! What does Solar Corona Form mean!?

You’re waiting for me righ here ¹ 搁这等我gezhedengwo. The term is apparently a northern dialect that means someone is setting a trap and waiting for you or beating around the bush. , huh!?

After the bounty started but before the monthly ranking refreshed, it was 3525. That’s an increase of 37. Add this month’s refreshed gift value of 2268, and that means I owe just seven and a half chapters. I’ve got the upper hand!

Translator Note

As usual, I’ll follow the author’s schedule for the bonus chapter as well.

And since it’s a bonus chapter, I’ll price the chapter at 1 kitkat instead of the usual 2.
