Esper X Family – Chapter 709 – New Cheat Has Arrived

Ye Yao finally understood what it felt like to be an old-timer messing with a kid.

Although she wasn’t old, nor was Lou Wei a child, when it came to steamrolling small fries, no one was more authoritative than her!

The only problem was that the Lou Wei at this stage would break at the slightest touch. Even after going all out, he couldn’t even graze the soles of her shoes.

She figured that she ought to buff him up a bit.

Conveniently, she could use the system she had just cobbled together as a legitimate excuse to give Lou Wei a cheat code.

In truth, Ye Yao was already mostly satisfied.

She didn’t actually want a rival who could match her blow for blow. She just wanted to go back to the moment she had been flattened into a cat pancake and flatten him instead.

Watching Lou Wei go all out only to be skipped across the sea like a stone was more than enough gratification for her.

Taking the initiative to steamroll small fries once or twice was plenty enough.

Next came the grand task of evolving a robot into a human!

Steamrolling on the side was a different story, of course.

Although Ye Yao kept saying that the enlightened Lou Wei lacked “purity”, in all seriousness, a Lou Wei like this couldn’t possibly make a qualified father.

At the end of the day, Ye Yao was all about family!

Alright, time to set the stage!

On the other side.

Lou Wei, having tumbled across the sea surface for quite a distance, finally steadied himself, using his mental power to stand on the water.

Soaked from head to toe, he looked like he had been drenched in sweat, although that was just an illusion.

His head was still buzzing, his mind rattled by an attack so far beyond his comprehension that he could barely think straight.

What just happened?

He had unleashed all five form skills at full power, and he couldn’t even budge her an inch?

The celestial form’s area destruction effect had been forcibly dispersed, preventing Bluestar’s energy from gathering stably, leaving his form skill in an unprecedented “stuck” state.

Lou Wei could tell that it wasn’t some special effect of an ability, nor was there any real elemental counter at play.

It was simply a massive surge of mental power smashing into him, pure and simple.

What kind of absurd number was that?

His eyes now clear, almost too clear, Lou Wei sank into a brief daze.

His all-out release was, at best, a super-sized firework in front of Ye Yao. How could that possibly make her feel any enjoyment in battle?

Not being bored was already good enough.

Lou Wei felt his own weakness with painful clarity, and for the first time, he had the illusion that he was just an ordinary person, not an indispensable cog keeping the world running.

But then he glanced at the system panel.

【World Destruction Progress Bar: 10%】

【Daughter’s Mood: Pleasant】

【Evaluation: Stand proud. You are strong. You could dominate in this era, but you just happened to run into a being beyond the times.】

【Phase One mission complete. Rewards are being distributed. Please accept, Host.】

【Reward: Solar Corona Form (Crimson Wheel)】

Regardless of why such a one-sided curbstomp would make Ye Yao feel pleasant, what in the world was this reward?

“Solar Corona Form?”

Lou Wei muttered to himself, savoring the word.

In the current meta, S-class Espers had only five universal form skills.

Lou Wei was even the first to master all of them.

Rеaԁ oո ΚatReaԁіnɡСαfe

As far as he knew, no new universal form skills would appear anytime soon, unless he set aside everything about Ye Yao and dove into research, which was impossible.

So what did the system’s “Solar Corona Form” mean?

Taken literally, it was clearly an unknown form skill.

Before he could ponder further, a burst of knowledge flooded his mind, including the principles of the Solar Corona Form, its activation conditions, and even specific incantations, all proving just how formidable this era-transcending form skill truly was!

With the system’s help, Lou Wei absorbed this skill without any resistance, as if it were innate.

“Stellar power?”

Lou Wei was deeply shaken. Just what exactly was this system?

High above.

After handing out the reward, Ye Yao thoughtfully rubbed her chin.

“Isn’t this Dayun Truck getting off a little too easy? When I got my cheat, it wasn’t nearly this smooth. Unlocking an exclusive form skill just like that… it feels like some kind of system from a certain Lu platform ¹ 飞卢 feilu, a relatively popular webnovel platform. The common consensus among readers is that the Systems in Feilu are known for treating the protagonists like a dad, respecting them and giving them everything while the protagonists only need to be reckless. Meanwhile, Ciweimao Systems are known for being useless, raised by the protagonists like a wife. At the bottom there is Qidian… Qidian Systems are known for being full of conspiracy, treating the protagonists like pigs to raise and doing stuff like forced punishments or even possessing the protagonist’s body. .”

Soon, the white-haired girl shook her head and came to a realization in a second.

It wasn’t the cool, imposing original version anyway, but a refined, optimized variant.

Ever since she could manually control Ye Jia to enter Creative Mode, Ye Yao no longer needed Jiang Huashen’s power to slap new skins onto people.

In other words, she could change anyone’s appearance with a single thought.

Forced TS ² 变身 bianshen means “transformation” as is the same word as the Japanese “henshin”, but in Chinese it’s also used as the term for TS. , does anyone get it?

Anyway, the “will of heaven” could not be defied!

So, even if Lou Wei used the Solar Corona Form, he’d only transform into Magical Girl Crimson Wheel, and once the base version was set, it couldn’t be changed!

This wasn’t just a prank. It was another level of evolution for Lou Wei!

Ye Yao was really looking forward to the moment “Lou Weiwei” appeared. After all, this was the original timeline, and watching Lou Wei suffer a second round of public embarrassment would be hilarious.

Just as Ye Yao was getting excited, she suddenly turned her head and stared in a certain direction, a strange look appearing on her face.

“We actually have a live audience?”

The super typhoon had long been violently dismantled. The Strongest in History had arrived late!

Fu Qi just wanted to curse.

He had originally planned to head to the city where Ye Yao and Lou Wei were, using long-distance spatial teleportation several times in a row, exhausting himself greatly.

But those two had blinked to the other side of Bluestar in an instant.

It was still night in Dragon Country, yet this sea region was bathed in sunlight, proof enough of how serious things had gotten!

Fu Qi was nearly spent by the time he arrived.

“Hah… am I too late?”

He had already sensed Lou Wei activating his trump card, the Celestial Form, from far away.

There was no need to guess that he was fighting Sequence 001.

Although Fu Qi didn’t know why Lou Wei was being so reckless and desperate, he could still sense Ye Yao’s immense power from the sidelines.

But by the time he got there, the Celestial Form’s field effect had already faded, giving the battle a finished feel.

Fu Qi looked up.

Rеаd оո ΚаtRеaⅾіոɡCαfе

That small figure still floated high above, like a god gazing down upon all mortals.

He looked down.

Lou Wei hovered above the sea, looking rather battered, his aura noticeably chaotic even from a distance.

Clearly, he had taken a heavy beating in that fight.

Fu Qi could even sense that Lou Wei had activated all five form skills, undoubtedly his most desperate moment ever!

And the result was obvious: after going all out, the Strongest of the Current Era had been casually suppressed.

“Even like this, you can’t shake Sequence 001 in the slightest?”

Fu Qi sucked in a cold breath. Then what good was he here for?

To accompany Lou Wei to the end?

Truly, brothers in arms to the grave?

Just as Fu Qi was struggling to accept reality, Lou Wei seemed to take a deep breath, steadying his emotions, his gaze turning resolute once more.

That’s right. He was going to try using【Solar Corona Form (Crimson Wheel)】!
