Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1685: Chapter 1687: Mage

Sure enough, just like Zheng He had said, after shuttling for a while, he ultimately chose to give up!

He couldn’t push through anymore!

There were no gaps left for them to shuttle through; what had been an undercurrent before was now a solid iron wall!

”Gentlemen, it’s your turn to perform again.” Zheng He said with a preemptive smile. ”The next position is the last one I can find. When the time comes, please take over immediately!”

”Got it!”

This battle maniac Xiang Yu accepted the task without the slightest hesitation.

Finding gaps by killing? That was what he was best at!

Then, just when he was about to take over.

He actually discovered that someone had moved before him?!

He could swallow that?!

The answer was—yes!

”Peng Ju, little brother, you’re here and didn’t even say a word?” Xiang Yu gave a wry smile.

Yue Fei, courtesy name Peng Ju.

The newcomer was precisely the last one besides Bai Qi.

To be honest, even if Bai Qi had snatched something from Xiang Yu, he’d still dare draw his sword and roar in anger, but in front of this Yue Fei alone, he just could not lose his temper no matter what!

Although Bai Qi and Yue Fei’s fates were quite similar, both tortured to death by their rulers!

But Bai Qi was from Qin State, and even if it wasn’t the same era, he still had a knot in his heart about that!

Yue Fei alone was a true man; that, he admired!

”Brother Yu, let me vent a bit too.” Yue Fei laughed heartily.

Then he said to Lu Xiaobu, ”Little brother, I came suddenly, please forgive the offense. I’ll apologize properly later.”

”No need! No need!” Lu Xiaobu hurriedly waved his hands.

He had long given up on the idea of using his own body himself. Letting this bunch of big shots use it was pretty damn satisfying!

Yue Fei smiled, swinging his sword to hack apart the blood men in front of him while seeming to be pondering something.

Roughly a dozen seconds later.

”Little brother truly is heaven’s own favored genius!” Yue Fei sighed. ”Gold, wood, water, fire, earth—the Five Elements; Yin and Yang, the two Qi—you actually have them all!”

”Just a little trick! Just a little trick!” Lu Xiaobu chuckled smugly, a bit proud.

”Brother Taibai has shown you the sword, Brother Xiang Yu has shown you Power, Qiji has shown you battle, Lord Zheng has shown you craft; then I’ll boldly show you ’combination’!” Yue Fei said while killing the enemy.

Lu Xiaobu was both nodding and shaking his head as he listened.

He understood the first few lines: he was saying the four before had each demonstrated their specialty.

But what the hell was this ’combination’?

Seeing his confusion, Yue Fei smiled and explained, ”So‑called ’combination’ is like a battle formation—blending different Strengths together with just the right force. It’s like single Knife-and-shield soldiers, who are of little use on the battlefield alone.”

”But if they cooperate with the spearmen, they form an unbreakable wall right in front of the enemy!”

”My Strength is not as great as Brother Xiang Yu’s, my swordsmanship not as good as Brother Taibai’s, my craft not as subtle as Lord Zheng’s, my tactics not as sharp as Qiji’s, but look at my ’combination’—in terms of combat, I’m not losing to any of them!”

”Watch!”

As soon as those two words ”watch this” left his mouth, Yue Fei’s longsword suddenly burst out with a scorching aura. This was him using a Fire Attribute attack, a very normal move, nothing that looked particularly unbeatable!

However, what shocked Lu Xiaobu was that this seemingly ordinary Flame Sword produced flames that clung to the blood men like maggots on bone, savagely burning them, and for a moment they simply would not go out!

”It’s the Yin Attribute!” Lu Xiaobu was startled. This guy had actually fused Fire Attribute and Yin Attribute to create this maggot‑on‑bone kind of flame.

Bear in mind, even he, the actual owner of this body, couldn’t do that. He usually used one Attribute at a time, switching between them; he had never fused them together!

”Comprehend carefully. With such an exceptionally gifted body, you ought to study it in depth. Every strand of Elemental Power is like a soldier; each element is a different type of troop.”

”Used alone, they’re powerful, but if you match them reasonably, they can produce all sorts of wondrous effects!”

Yue Fei was like a patient, ever‑guiding teacher, leading Lu Xiaobu to develop his own Strength.

All the while, Yue Fei never stopped killing!

This time, it was no longer just a simple Flame Sword, but a full‑on Magic feast!

That’s right—in Lu Xiaobu’s eyes, this was all straight‑up spellcasting!

He watched Yue Fei transform the Armor into a longbow, then fire one arrow after another!

The previous arrow was Meteor Fire Rain, the next arrow became a sea of Knives and flames, and the one after that was Ice Seal Thousand Miles!

And Yue Fei was just like a Magician; the longbow in his hand was his Magic staff—one wave and everything turned to ash!

Lu Xiaobu even had an illusion: this wasn’t his body at all, it was more like Yue Fei’s own body!

This kind of Control Power, this kind of fine control, was downright terrifying!

”Little brother, scared you, didn’t I!” Xiang Yu chuckled. ”Totally normal. I was scared the first time I saw it too. Peng Ju little brother might not have any one overwhelmingly strong Strength, but his Control Power over Strength leaves the rest of us eating dust!”

”Ten parts of Strength in our hands, if we push it, we might squeeze out twelve parts of output. But in his hands, he can unleash more than twenty parts. It’s terrifying!”

Lu Xiaobu nodded in deep agreement. It really was terrifying!

Yue Fei’s killing power at this moment was almost on par with the sum of everyone before!

”Brother Yu, don’t make fun of me.” Yue Fei just smiled. ”It’s only because little brother’s body is too gifted. If it were my own body, I’d be lucky to bring out one‑ten‑thousandth of this.”

Lu Xiaobu treated that line as pure bullshit.

Humble my ass!

It’s not like I’m an idiot!

If your body was really as lousy as you claim, how could you use mine so naturally the moment you came in?!

The carpet bombing continued; within a hundred‑meter radius, everything had turned into an absolute forbidden zone—come close and you die!

”It’s a good thing these are all mindless blood men who only know how to charge blindly, not much different from the ordinary soldiers in our own world. If they all had intellect, and used their Strength as reasonably as the outside Cultivators, we probably couldn’t have achieved this scene today.” Yue Fei sighed.

”The outside world couldn’t gather this many Cultivators anyway.” Xiang Yu curled his lip.

”That’s true as well!” Yue Fei laughed.

”By the way, once the passage opens, can we get back?” Li Bai spoke up with a question.

”Shouldn’t be a problem. Worst case, we just have our little friend take us back, same as now, by letting us attach to him.” Xin Qiji said.

”True, I was overthinking it!” Li Bai stroked his beard and said.

”Why hasn’t Brother Bai Qi come yet?” Zheng He was focused on something else. Things felt easy for them now, not that difficult at all; opening the passage already felt like a matter of course to them!

However!

”Not good!” Yue Fei, who was just scattering Magic, suddenly changed expression, his face drained of color!

He felt a powerful aura surging over!

Right on its heels!

”Who dares disturb my slumber?!”

A furious voice came from the direction of the core, echoing over!
