Above Destiny

Chapter 841 Clash, Test of Hands, Past and Future (Thanks to Simo1223)
As the saying goes, fortunes change every thirty years; never underestimate a young person's potential.

Even the young master Lou has a temper.

Even if he's lacking in ability, skill, rank, and technique—lacking in everything—he can't possibly swallow this insult since Ji Jue has already provoked him so openly.

Just do it!

You bastard, I've put up with you for far too long!

Unfortunately, he really should have been more patient...

Within half an hour, in the workshop experimental area that had been demolished and was now in ruins, the burned-out building collapsed to the sky, spitting out its last breath of white foam in grief and indignation.

"Look at you, you're in such a hurry again."

Ji Jue shook his head and sighed, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the stains and bloodstains on his hands: "Young people shouldn't be so impetuous, or they'll suffer the consequences."

However, that move, Residual Spirit Transformation, was truly amazing; its future is promising, very promising indeed!

That's good enough, that's good enough, it's already quite impressive that you've lasted this long!

Ji Jue was surprised that Lou Feng could make a new breakthrough in such a short period of time.

That's pretty good!

Unfortunately, there aren't many.

From a dire situation, a series of blunders, a desperate struggle, to delivering a victory speech, Ji Jue accomplished it all effortlessly. It's not that Lou Da Shao is bad; it's just that he's played too many high-level games.

The difference between rank suppression and the superior suppression of Ember, even with the addition of the workshop, cannot erase such an absurd gap. Moreover, Ji Jue is Ye Xian's carefully crafted successor, and Jing Zhen is the god of internal battles when it comes to basic attacks.

Losing is not shameful.

Given Ji Jue's current status, even if word gets out, it will be something to be proud of.

If the former You Sui colleagues, who had been brutally beaten, knew that Lou Feng had managed to hold out against Ji Jue for so long, they would definitely give him a thumbs up and praise him as a hero.

Unfortunately, Lou Feng understands the reasons, but he still refuses to accept them.

I'm not convinced, that's all.

Compared to the deep-seated grudge between Jian Yuan and Tian Lu, who fought to the death three times, Lou Feng's act of merely expressing his resentment through fists and words was already considered to be putting the greater good first and showing forbearance for the public good.

Besides, I haven't neglected my work, have I?
"Oh, oh, craftsman..."

Ji Jue sighed, picked up his coat hanging on the chair, and waved goodbye: "Old Lou, take a good rest and don't rush too much. You need to know how to give yourself a break sometimes... Oh, and don't forget to send the new design to my email tonight."

Lou Feng, who was foaming at the mouth on the ground, finally laughed in anger and raised his middle finger.

What a load of crap!
roll!
Thus, Mr. Ji Jue, a distinguished master of the association, took time out of his busy schedule to visit Coastal Technology. He highly praised Coastal Technology's role and contributions, and gave kind guidance to the younger generation. His approachable manner earned everyone's gratitude and praise.

Finally, the meeting concluded in a pleasant atmosphere...

At least Ji Jue gained happiness, achievements, and a revised design that was sent to his email before midnight.

He glanced down, chuckled, and gave his instructions.

"I think the first version is still the best."

Unfortunately, as soon as I clicked the button, it said that sending failed.

You have been blocked by the user.

"Oh dear, Ah Feng!"

A few days later, Lou Yanyue, a street-smart young woman who was strolling around Xinquan, peeked out in shock, raised her hand and pulled off the huge sunglasses on Lou Feng's face, examining his miserable appearance, and grinned from ear to ear:

"What's going on? Is the school gate being blocked?"

"He fell, he fell..."

Lou Feng turned his head away and put his sunglasses and mask back on, but unfortunately, his face was still strangely swollen... All I can say is that Ji Jue, that bastard, loves to bite and bark, and when he bites, he's ruthless and vicious.

There was no irreversible damage or serious injury. The injury was cured on the same day. However, the aftereffects of bruises and swelling have not subsided to this day. It is just pure suffering!

"Hey, hey, you're such a grown man, how can you walk so carelessly?"

Lou Yanyue pretended to be confused, rubbing salt into her nephew's wounds, taking out her phone to take pictures, until she finally stopped when Lou Feng was about to get angry.

At the very end, Chao Jijue would proudly raise his head, beaming with delight.

did you see it?

Do you understand what I mean by sealing off this building?
I'm the one who has to do it!

"Alright, let's get down to business. We're all buddies, don't be shy."

She sat down on Lou Feng's chair, swinging her legs, holding a cup of tea offered by her nephew, and asked Ji Jue directly, "Who to kill?"

"It's not about killing anyone. I just recently broke through to the Transcendent Realm and want to hone my skills. I just happen to be lacking a suitable opponent."

Ji Jue suggested, "How about we practice?"

Lou Yanyue's eyes lit up, and without hesitation:

"Come!"

boom--

Before the words were even finished, regardless of the occasion, the place, or even whether Ji Jue was prepared or not.

Let's get started!

Amidst the flashes of lightning, the petite figure appeared out of nowhere, grinning maliciously as she lashed out with an elbow at Ji Jue's forehead!
"careful!"

Lou Feng glared and shouted, and began to panic as he watched his aunt about to repeat his mistakes.

The next instant, the burst of lightning vanished without a trace.

Ji Jue raised his hand to block Lou Yanyue's elbow strike, while his other hand, just as he had done when he targeted Lou Feng, stretched out and clenched into a fist.

The vanished thunder, like a torrent, reappeared from the fist.

A deafening roar erupted.

Lou Yanyue exploded, disintegrating into irregular flames, which then reassembled behind Ji Jue. Endless thunder and flames gathered at her fingertips and surged forth once more.

Just before Ji Jue's punch landed, she transformed her body, causing his attack to miss, and then gathered all the scattered light and heat back together, bursting forth once more.

This time, Ji Jue slid backward for dozens of meters, leaving two charred marks on his feet.

On his hands, wisps of residual electricity clung to his fingers like living things, constantly moving about, but were restrained by the circle and easily annihilated into nothingness.

"call--"

Ji Jue let out a long breath, exhaling the heat from his lungs, and felt a faint, rusty, fishy smell between his mouth and nose.

Even though it blocked the impact, it couldn't completely block the elemental damage.

In the end, their defenses were breached!
"Well done, Auntie is awesome!"

Lou Feng was overjoyed and pumped his fist in encouragement: "Go for it, beat him to death!"

"Did you hear that, Ji Jue?"

Lou Yanyue grinned, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. This is the only wish of my poor nephew who has been bullied since he was a child. As his aunt, I have to take it seriously."

In response, Ji Jue simply raised his hand and asked curiously, "So—who exactly bullied this poor nephew from childhood to adulthood?"

"Then don't worry about it!"

Lou Yanyue cracked her neck and pinched her knuckles as she walked step by step toward Ji Jue.

With each step he took, the flames emanating from his body grew increasingly violent until he was completely engulfed by the ever-exploding flames, transforming into a burning figure with faint outlines of illusory wings emerging from the reflection of the flames.

It directly activated the blessing of the reborn form.

The infinite light and heat on the verge of exploding are maintained at the critical point of the reaction, like a mountain of explosives, ready to explode at any moment.

Bifang!

"Come on, let's have a good fight!"

Lou Yanyue was already excited.

Since returning from the Seven Cities, she hadn't had a proper fight. After such a long time, she was itching to get back into one, and Ji Jue just happened to offer himself up.

Even fearing he might back down, she didn't use his reputation as a rising star directly. Otherwise, if she had kept her distance and bombarded him with damage, no matter how tough Ji Jue was, he would have been reduced to warm ashes after half an hour.

Let's test the waters first when we've never seen a new environment!

Lou Yanyue, engulfed in flames, laughed maniacally as he charged forward, slamming his hand down. "Take this Haizhou Explosive Fist!"

The fist, shrouded in endless blazing light, was no longer visible. At this moment, with the extreme intensification of the spiritual transformation, genuine destruction was wrapped around that fist. A terrifying force, enough to blast the entire coastal technology to smithereens, erupted at close range and smashed into the steel hand.

With a deafening roar, Ji Jue's reborn form finally appeared. Half of his body was burned red, and his five fingers were cracked and almost dissolved. However, the intense light that had been forcibly shrunk into a single point actually dissipated into a torrent again in the face of the obstruction of that palm, and roared out from both sides of Ji Jue.

Amid Lou Feng's screams, the carnage raged through his workshop.

In contrast, Ji Jue remained unmoved.

Like a reef standing tall amidst a raging tide.

Even though he looked so disheveled, thanks to the efficient repair provided by the three-phase circulation, he wasn't even scratched. At least fifty percent of the power he had channeled in that punch had turned into a torrent of aftershocks, all of which had poured out in all directions, achieving nothing in the end.

As for the remaining fifty percent... The sound of a heartbeat rang out, and Zhanlu Spirit let out an excited howl, swallowing the snack that had been delivered to its door. Purple lightning and black flames emerged from Ji Jue's other hand and shot out, suddenly creating a huge hole through Lou Yanyue's body.

Countless viscous flames, like lava, contracted and converged inward, but they couldn't fill the gap or completely remove the residual lightning and fire from the wound for a moment.

Control entropy with entropy!

"interesting!"

Lou Yanyue sighed softly, her gaze falling on Ji Jue's hands: "It's 'hands,' right? What an outrageous realm, even more bizarre than the old man described."

"It's nothing but a pretense, all bark and no bite."

Ji Jue smiled calmly, staring intently at his opponent: "Please be sure to show mercy."

"Okay, okay, definitely."

Lou Yanyue smiled excitedly: "If you want to admit defeat, you can do so anytime."

If you still have the chance to speak...

In that instant, the form of Bifang appeared, and a blazing light as bright as the sun and stars descended from the sky.

Lou Yanyue, full power!

A deafening roar continued unabated.

It perfectly covered up the sound of cracking sunflower seeds.

"No, the Lou family is a scholarly family with a long history of advancement, so how come this generation produced such a war maniac?"

Tong Yuan, seemingly taking a leisurely stroll, munched on dried fruit and spat out the shells: "If you ask me, Senior Lou, there's something wrong with your family's upbringing."

"Hey, the child is still young, doesn't he look energetic? No matter what, isn't he better than your child who turns into a little old man at three years old?"

Lou Suwen, who was sharing dried fruit next to her, said nonchalantly, "Just tell me if you have energy or not!"

"Look at that move! Hey, it has a third of my youthful spirit! I used this very move to kill Wu Ajiu from the North City back then, it was awesome!"

"Okay, I know where the problem lies."

Tong Yuan shook his head, unable to speak.

No wonder all the rebellious phases in the Lou family ended up in Lou Yanyue; things weren't right from the start!

However, her temperament and personality are entropy-based, which is truly a match made in heaven.

A teenager's extraordinary talent, a genuine candidate for the Heavenly Human Realm—this incredible stroke of luck has finally been snatched up by that old bastard Lou Suwen!

On the other hand...

The two old men who were watching the melon were speechless.

"It is indeed the legacy of sages."

Tong Yuan sighed, "The Mohists."

"Yes, the Mohists."

Lou Suwen nodded, "Pure."

It wasn't just purity; Lou Suwen had never seen anyone as pure as Ji Jue before...

Even a few hundred years ago, before the Chosen Ones of the Embers claimed to be craftsmen, there were very few Mohists like Ji Jue.

Seeing Ji Jue retreating steadily under his fierce attack, struggling to make any progress, Lou Suwen showed no sign of pride. Instead, she appeared heartbroken and couldn't hide her envy.

"You've finally found it."

How did this UR card, which you can't even get from the gacha pool, suddenly grow out of your land in Yai City?
Is the feng shui of Yacheng really that good for people?

The location of my Lou family's ancestral graves isn't bad either!

"The Tong family has always been helpful to others. It's just a matter of neighborly affection. There's no question of picking up or not picking up anything."

Even though that's what he said, the old man's mouth was already stretched almost to the back of his neck.

comfortable!
Or it would make us seem like we have good taste!

From registration to the angel round, round one, round two... I was involved in every round of investment. Now that the product is a huge hit and the market value has skyrocketed, what's wrong with me making a little money along with it?
In less than two years, Tong Yuan went from a penniless newcomer to a key figure in Haizhou Capital, from a laborer to a partner. He has never invested in a project with such outrageous returns and such fast payback in his life!
Saying you're unhappy is a lie!
Moreover, it might be one thing if it were someone else who was cold-hearted and greedy, but Ji Jue was genuinely serious about doing a favor and making angel investments.

Not to mention the Tong family, even the Lou family, with whom they had a past conflict, would always try to get everyone involved in any good thing they did!

Regardless of how much they earn, they're truly one of our own!
His ability, skill, shrewdness, and vision are impeccable, both inside and out, top to bottom.

After Lü Yingyue, the only next generation of leaders who can gain the unanimous recognition of the two central cities and four satellite cities of Haizhou is probably this young man.

"Now it seems that rebuilding Jinan is not so far-fetched after all." Lou Suwen sighed softly, "In my lifetime, I may really see Haizhou regain its former glory."

"The past is hard to hold onto, and the future is uncertain. Each generation has its own ideas. The older generation may want to repeat the old ways, but the younger generation may think that the new ones are better."

Tong Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "There are too many old stories; people always have to look forward."

Lou Suwen rolled her eyes: "Could you guys, with your ethereal language, please speak more clearly? Say something that a human could understand."

"Sorry, it's a habit."

Tong Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I see too much but don't understand, I hear too much but don't hear clearly. After getting used to it, I become timid and cautious, always scaring myself. In the end, I even speak cautiously, either sparingly or in a cryptic way."

It's nothing more than that what I saw was hard to explain, and what I heard was hard to decipher.

As a result, they are prone to overthinking and making poor decisions, and they are easily swayed by appearances.

This is nothing more than the so-called scourge of ether.

"So, after all this back and forth, can you just give me a straight answer?"

Lou Suwen urged impatiently, "I'm already so old, time is very precious."

"I'm getting closer to death every day, and who knows, I might just suddenly die any day now. Why can't you even say something auspicious?"

"...Senior Lou, if I calculate your lifespan, you'll probably outlive me soon, so why the rush?"

Tong Yuan, who looked very old, glanced at the senior beside him who looked like a young man and was almost speechless. "Let's see what happens now."

He said, "Let's take a look first."

The workshop was shaken.

Under the watchful eyes of the two celestial beings hidden in the void, Ji Jue was sent flying backward, spinning seven thousand two hundred degrees in mid-air, before crashing to the ground with a thud.

His whole body was smoking and crackling with electricity, and he was convulsing and spasming.

It's about to fall apart.

This is probably what it means to overestimate one's abilities.

Using entropy as a stress test and Lou Yanyue as a defensive skill practice, getting overwhelmed by damage is quite common. Even ordinary wastelands wouldn't dare to play such a thrilling game.

Even if Fei Gong is strong, he still only has two hands. Under the premise of Ji Jue's passive defense, he was blown up by Lou Yanyue after she created distance!

"How was that, Ji Jue? What do you think of that move?"

Lou Yanyue laughed loudly, hands on her hips, "Compared to Wen Wen, who is more capable?"

No, you're really going after her, aren't you?

Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh: "Couldn't you have competed with someone else? Didn't you enjoy competing with Brother Shan before?"

"cannot!"

Lou Yanyue shook her head and urged, "Hurry up and say it, or you'll regret it!"

"Is there even a question? Of course it's Sister Wen!"

Ji Jue answered without hesitation.

Lou Yanyue's expression immediately turned dangerous, and her eye twitched for a moment:
"...You really don't know how to talk."

"Putting aside whether you can speak well or not, matters of principle cannot be compromised. Although it's true that you're very strong and loyal, brother, I would definitely support you if it were someone else, but..."

Ji Jue raised his head and answered decisively:
"—Sister Wen is the best!"

"Eh?!"

Lou Suwen, who was secretly watching the drama unfold, was shocked, her eyes lighting up: "This kid has some guts!"

Here comes the fun!
click!
It sounded like teeth grinding.

Lou Feng, who was in the corner, instinctively took two steps back, held the defensive fortress to his chest, and cautiously peeked out. What he saw was lightning that filled the sky above the workshop like a tidal wave.

Mom!
Amidst the deafening roar, the burning Lou Yanyue rose into the sky, and a bright smile gradually appeared on its gloomy face, full of anticipation.

"Be careful, Ji Jue, you must hold on."

She 'kindly' reminded me: "You can change your mind anytime."

It's fake, and it's too late to change your mind now!
boom!!!
Amidst the resounding echoes of great bells, the shadows of the five towers and twelve cities appeared above the sea of ​​thunder, and the encirclement opened!

The young woman was furious!
Today, I'll use your sycophancy, Ji Jue, to prove my invincible reputation as Lou Yanyue!
