Chapter 287 Insufficient Attack Power

Because he had actually come into contact with five level 5s, Lin Wuming had a deep feeling - a true level 5 might be different in other aspects, but they all had one thing in common, and that was self-confidence.

As the top esper in Academy City, Level 5, regardless of his personality, has the same confidence in his bones.

This is not surprising. At least at this stage, level 5 can be directly equated with "the strongest human being".

——After being promoted to level 5, every superpower user accepted this fact, either actively or passively.

Regardless of whether they activate their super powers or not, the Level 5s' inherent confidence cannot be hidden.

At this moment, the Privet Mu Xiaolu Feng in front of Lin Wuming gave people the impression that she was more complacent and arrogant than confident.

How should I put it? I just don't feel like I have the magnanimity of a true level 5.

However, since the identity of the sixth person remains unknown, some people have always used this feature to disguise themselves as him.

There is no shortage of people like Ligustrum Koji Kaede.

As if sensing Lin Wuming's joking mood, Nuzhimu Xiaolu Feng raised his eyebrows and waved his hand to send out a shock wave towards Lin Wuming.

The telekinetic barrier easily blocked the attack—it was just a slightly stronger wind.

Ligustrum Xiaolu Feng didn't expect that this attack could really hurt Lin Wuming, he just used the cover of the shock wave to rush in front of Lin Wuming.

Using the same trick again, she easily tore open the mental barrier with her fingers, and then pressed her palm on Lin Wuming's chest.

Boom! Lin Wuming felt a pain in his chest, as if something exploded inside his body, and his vision went dark.

When he came to his senses, he found himself lying on the ground. Privet Wood Xiaolu Feng was kneeling on one knee, pressing down on his chest, while raising his hand and swinging his palm towards the side of his head!

Regardless of whether she is truly level 5 or not, one thing is certain, this girl's attack power is indeed very sharp!
He didn't know whether her attack could pose a "fatal threat" to him, but Lin Wuming's life instinct refused to just "sit and wait for death".

Telekinesis explodes, no matter what, push the enemy away from you first!

But Nuzhimu Xiaolu Feng slightly adjusted the angle of his palm, and with a push of his hands, he once again tore apart Lin Wuming's mental ability.

Lin Wuming couldn't help but feel helpless. Could it be that the enemy's superpowers had a special attack effect on telekinesis?
You can't just fight using your mind abilities alone.

In a flash, Lin Wuming reacted quickly. He immediately used his telekinesis to grab the wreckage of a motorcycle nearby, used it as a weapon, and smashed it at the enemy.

Nulimu Xiaolu Feng raised his hand to block the attack. At this extremely close distance, Lin Wuming finally saw it clearly...

The wreckage of the motorcycle controlled by telekinesis was affected by some force before it actually touched the girl's body, causing its trajectory to deviate and it actually slid to the side along her arm.

——This is Privet Wood Xiaoji Kaede's superpower! A kind of ability that can "deflect power", which is somewhat similar to Accelerator's "Vector Operation" in form, but it is a degraded version and cannot be compared with "Vector Operation".

In this case, the problem of the telekinetic barrier can be understood. The enemy did not "tear open" the telekinetic barrier, but used its superpowers to "deflect" the telekinesis.

Lin Wuming had a plan in mind. When the enemy swung his palm towards him again, he raised his hand to meet the opponent's palm.

It's like trying to grab the other person's hand.

Then, as expected, Lin Wuming felt a strong push on his right hand, and was irresistibly pressed to the side.

But immediately afterwards, Lin Wuming's right hand pulled back as if in revenge, and in front of Nuzhimu Xiaolu Feng's surprised gaze, he grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Got you!"

Lin Wuming tightened his five fingers, and with the help of his mental power, his right hand turned into an iron clamp, locking the girl's slender wrist tightly.

——If telekinesis can be deflected, what about physical locks like this?

While making sure he had the other person, Lin Wuming forcefully pulled Ligustrum lucidum Xiaolu Feng off his body.

After regaining his freedom, Lin Wuming jumped up and grabbed the enemy's right hand without loosening his grip. After restricting the enemy's range of movement, Lin Wuming showed no mercy and punched the girl in the face with his fist.

As a result, the punch was of course deflected and slid to the side. Privet Wood Xiaoji Feng just tilted his head slightly to avoid the attack.

At the same time, Ligustrum Koji Feng kicked over with a crotch-kicking kick.

Lin Wuming had already noticed her little movement, and immediately raised his knee and blocked the vicious attack with his calf.

Taking advantage of Lin Wuming's distraction, Nuzhimu Xiaolu Feng seemed to be ready to continue attacking, but Lin Wuming grabbed his wrist and tripped him to the ground.

Privet Wood Xiaoji Feng did not really fall to the ground. Her superpowers seemed to be able to deflect even impact damage.

She even grabbed Lin Wuming's wrist in return, and used her legs to wrap around Lin Wuming's arm, performing a cross armbar...

Lin Wuming snorted coldly. His physical strength had been greatly enhanced by his telepathic power. He easily lifted the girl, who weighed less than 50 kilograms, and swung his arm to smash against the wall.

Ligustrum Koji Feng decisively gave up the armbar and, as agile as a gymnast, used Lin Wuming's arms as support, did a somersault to avoid the impact of the wall, then put his feet on the wall to gain leverage, and actually made Lin Wuming fall.

At the moment of seizing the initiative, she did not forget to use her knee to hit Lin Wuming's right hand, trying to force him to let her go.

But Lin Wuming took all her attacks without changing his expression, and had no intention of letting go.

"If you keep pestering a girl and refuse to let go, you will be hated!" Privet Koji Feng said helplessly.

"No, after catching the prey, of course you can't let it go easily. This is common sense." Lin Wuming responded to the other party while continuing to punch.

The punch was still distorted by the invisible force. Even with the correction of telekinesis, it still could not hit the enemy's face as Lin Wuming wanted.

"Always attacking girls' cheeks is not a gentleman's behavior!" Ligustrum Xiaolu Feng was not willing to be outdone. He bent his fingers into claws and grabbed Lin Wuming's face.

Because Lin Wuming refused to let go, the two had to fight within arm's length, like a thrilling cheek-to-cheek dance.

What makes Lin Wuming depressed is that although the big boss, Ligustrum lucidum Feng, is difficult to deal with, his attack power does not seem to be that strong.

——She couldn't get me into "bullet time".

Although she can break through the telekinetic barrier, she doesn't seem to be good at attacking.

Lin Wuming didn't know that Ligustrum Koji Feng's superpower was called "Destructive Suppression", which was a level 4 ability.

The principle is based on fluid dynamics—the flow of particles like water, air, and magma all have viscosity and tend to flow toward areas of lower resistance. Therefore, simply by creating a pressure difference, the movement of various particles can be controlled, thereby triggering corresponding phenomena at the macro level.

Air pressure differences can generate wind, water pressure differences can generate water flow, and electric potential differences can generate electric current...

Even solid objects can be manipulated by "killing and suppressing strikes" to a certain extent.

To expand and extend this further, even something like "telekinesis" that does not exist in nature, its pressure difference is within the scope that can be controlled by "lethal pressure strike".

The reason why Ligustrum Koji Kaede was able to "tear open" Lin Wuming's telekinetic barrier was based on this principle - she used her superpowers to guide telekinesis from areas of "high concentration" to areas of "low concentration".

The indirect effect is that the mental barrier is torn apart.

Similarly, Lin Wuming's attacks - fists or mental shocks - were distorted before they touched the target's body, also because they were affected by the "lethal pressure".

Telekinesis, air, tiny dust particles in the air, and even the opponent's intentions - all are within the scope of her manipulation and interference.

But in a sense, Lin Wuming's speculation was not wrong. The effect of her ability could indeed be regarded as a kind of "deflection."

In short, Privet Koji Kaede's abilities and fighting style are based on "borrowing the opponent's strength to counter their own." The stronger the opponent's attack, the greater the power she can unleash. She can even deflect level 5 attacks!
Now facing an opponent like Lin Wuming who is also not very good at attacking and belongs to the "defense and counterattack" type, it is difficult for Nuzhimu Xiaolu Feng to truly exert his strength.
