What are you looking at? You're the female lead too!

022 Beyond the Limits of Vision

It is true that Ye Wen was rejected by the Blood of the Japanese Chrysanthemum.

But from the moment Bai Qianyue used her red-themed divine power to forcibly sustain Ye Wen's life, the chrysanthemum blood mixed in his body seemed to be affected as well, achieving a perfect fusion with Ye Wen.

It's like a loser being forced to acknowledge a big guy as the boss.

I rejected your rejection.

Regardless of the circumstances, Ye Wen successfully awakened his own unique abilities.

And that's not all.

With a thought, Ye Wen opened his control panel.

Self-data:

[Endurance: 21]

【Strength: 23】

Dexterity: 25

【Spirit: 15】

[Inspiration: 20]

【Charm: 20】

(Note: The standard for data for an average adult male is 10)

The data panel provided by the cheat system is only for easy viewing of one's own abilities and does not mean that Ye Wen can only improve his basic stats by winning over the female protagonist.

Self-training or other methods are perfectly acceptable.

For example, if Ye Wen did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats every day, and ran 10 kilometers back and forth, without using air conditioning in the summer, and persisted like this for several years, his physical strength and speed would probably increase to an incredible level (I'm sure of it).

Now, the blood of the Japanese chrysanthemum not only granted Ye Wen abilities, but also comprehensively enhanced his endurance, strength, and dexterity, with each value increasing by 10 points, which is the standard data for a normal person.

This is a qualitative improvement, but the spirit, inspiration, and charm haven't changed much. This is probably because Shen Xuqiu's storyline is outside their scope, but it doesn't matter much.

Ye Wen now wants to stick his fingertips into his temples and say "Sai Goni Hi Tie Ya Zi Da" (a vulgar expression).

And the ability he awakened was...

The next moment, Ye Wen moved.

The previous countdown was merely a response to the assassin's earlier contempt; in reality, he wouldn't give the assassin any time to prepare.

Ye Wen, who could only passively anticipate and defend in place before, can now keep up with the assassin's speed—no, he has surpassed the assassin's speed.

The movements that Ye Wen could barely make out before now seemed as slow as a tortoise to him. Moreover, not only his thinking and seeing, but also his actions were now perfectly synchronized with his thoughts.

Transcending the limitations of neural responses, aligning thought and action from a bird's-eye view—this is the ability Ye Wen has acquired.

The ability that was born from the fusion of the blood of the Japanese chrysanthemum with the body—the "Beyond Limits Vision"—was created based on the "Overlooking" ability.

Simply put, after activating the transcendent vision, Ye Wen's actions will no longer be delayed; his actions will be as fast as his thoughts.

Ye Wen's thinking speed is undoubtedly at the top level among normal people.

Therefore, Ye Wen's second encounter with the assassin will be a far more terrifying and crushing defeat than the first.

Hey~

The clear, melodious voice sounded particularly ethereal under the night sky. Ye Wen half-squatted down and patted Shen Xuqiu's head, who was lying on the ground: "Hey, get up, you're not allowed to sleep here."

"Huh? How did you get here?? That assassin, he..."

Shen Xuqiu stopped mid-sentence because she had seen the assassin's current miserable state behind Ye Wen.

His right arm was cleanly severed at the joint, his neck was slashed open with a hideous gaping maw, and his chest bore a deep bloodstain identical to the one Ye Wen had left before.

In the span of a second of the exchange, Ye Wen slashed him three times. The first slash severed the arm the assassin was trying to use to attack, the second was a fatal blow to the neck, and the third was a casual return of the wound the assassin had inflicted on him earlier.

Throughout the entire process, he had no chance to resist.

Ye Wen really doesn't hold grudges.

He took revenge on the spot.

"ke……gm……"

Because of his throat injury, the assassin couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He could only stare at Ye Wen with bloodshot eyes, and a large amount of thick blood kept dripping from the wound.

"You seem to be asking why you lost so badly?"

Ye Wen shrugged indifferently: "The answer is simple."

"because."

He raised his hand and, with perfect form, threw the blood-stained dagger, striking the assassin's brain with pinpoint accuracy, as if the assassin had been pierced by steel bars, the dagger piercing through the assassin's brain.

Ye Wen gave his answer before the assassin completely collapsed.

"Because you're just a nobody, a nobody who doesn't even have a name."

Bang!

The assassin fell to the ground.

He didn't have a capricious female lead waiting for him, so he died a quick and easy death.

"Ye, Ye Wen?"

Shen Xuqiu stood up. She should have been happy to see Ye Wen successfully deal with the assassin, but when she saw Ye Wen's current condition by the moonlight, her reassuring voice turned into a terrified wail:

"Are you alright?!"

"You asked me if I'm alright?" Ye Wen raised an eyebrow. "As you can see, I'm absolutely fine right now."

Shen Xuqiu stared wide-eyed: "But your hands and legs are bleeding!"

Ye Wen: "Hmm?"

He looked down in confusion at the gaping wounds on his body, then quickly realized, "Oh, my body can't keep up with my speed."

Just like how flying too much can cause a gun to explode, although Ye Wen can keep up with the speed of his thoughts with his physical body without any limit, he is still slightly inferior in terms of strength.

The speed he used just now exceeded his body's limits, so his hands and feet protested against him.

Muscles are not such inconvenient things... cough cough, they are still quite inconvenient.

After briefly calculating the correlation between his speed and the amount of blood he had lost in his mind, Ye Wen filled out a form to make it easier to choose the right speed when facing enemies in the future. Just then, Shen Xuqiu handed him a tissue.

"Um, I think regardless of how you feel, you should wipe your face first; it looks kind of scary..."

While others had their faces smeared with blood, Ye Wen had his face smeared with brain matter.

Taking the fragrant tissue from Shen Xuqiu, Ye Wen wiped his face clean. It was clear that the wound from the steel bar had healed, as well as the fatal wound on his chest.

Apart from the wounds he inflicted himself, all of Ye Wen's fatal injuries from the previous battles had healed completely on their own, without leaving any aftereffects.

This is the twisted nature of the female protagonist with the red name.

And this was only a tiny fraction of what she had inadvertently revealed.

This powerful force, strong enough to crush the world, is in the hands of a pink-haired dwarf who goes to bed promptly at nine o'clock every night.

Ye Wen: I was so scared I cried.

"Wow, it's really fully healed..."

Shen Xuqiu looked at Ye Wen as if he were a rare species: "So, what exactly happened? How did you manage to survive with a steel rod inserted into your brain?"

Ye Wen glanced at Shen Xuqiu: "It's the effect of the chrysanthemum's blood today."

Shen Xuqiu: "Huh?"

"Is the blood of the Japanese chrysanthemum really that potent?!"

She, the mother, didn't even know that?!

Ye Wen nodded for the second time.

"That's right, it's dried from the blood of Japanese chrysanthemums."

"All the bad things... no, all the good things are caused by the blood of the Japanese Chrysanthemum."

Shen Xuqiu's lips twitched: "The blood of the Japanese chrysanthemum isn't something that's so convenient..."

"Never mind, though." After seeing Ye Wen's impressive skills, Shen Xuqiu became much more lively: "There's no point in digging into this. What are we going to do next?"

"Should we still escape?"

"Of course not."

Ye Wen turned around and looked at the dark outline under the night sky, which was the barrier created by Shen Caichun.

"We'll go back and help your sister."

Ye Wen had a premonition that today was the perfect moment to end the story of Shen Xuqiu, the female lead in blue.

If you miss today, then there's a high probability you'll miss it later...

He was about to become the villain in Shen Xuqiu's life.

Ye Wen harbors hostility towards the "female protagonist," but he is not averse to the girls under her.

On the contrary, he felt pity for them.

Therefore, Ye Wen doesn't want to do anything that even he finds cruel for the time being.

"Let's go."

Ye Wen led Shen Xuqiu back the way they came.
