I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 97 - 87: A Single Full-Power Strike, Terrifying Might

Chapter 97: Chapter 87: A Single Full-Power Strike, Terrifying Might

"I’m disappointed, truly."

Shen Bai’s voice rang out in the night, tinged with a hint of regret.

"I had another punch ready, but you weren’t fortunate enough to withstand it."

The golden Fist Gang on Shen Bai’s left hand gradually faded away.

"Impossible. Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward... How can you be capable of Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward!"

The Dark Venerable Envoy’s tone was filled with disbelief, as if she had just witnessed the most terrifying scene of her life.

She had reached the Five Organ Realm by relying on an aberration, and she was considered quite formidable within that realm—far superior to the aberration Zhang Chaofeng had awakened.

But now, she had been defeated by a single sword strike. Just one.

The Life Energy in the Dark Venerable Envoy’s eyes was gradually fading. She looked at Shen Bai and asked, "Was that a full-power strike?"

She wasn’t going to live. That single strike had severed all signs of life within her.

At this moment, she was like a tree that looked vibrant on the outside but was already rotten to the core.

She just wanted to know how much effort it had taken Shen Bai to kill her.

Shen Bai said, "Yes."

A look of relief appeared in the Dark Venerable Envoy’s eyes. "At least I made you use your full power. It was worth it. A strike like that must have taken a lot out of you."

Shen Bai rubbed his chin. "A strike like that? I can do that all night long."

The streets of Shengyun County fell into a dead silence.

The Dark Venerable Envoy had thought she could die without regrets, but Shen Bai’s words were like a bone stuck in her throat.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"You’re lying to me, aren’t you? HAHAHA! How could anyone unleash full-power attacks nonstop!"

"You’re lying to me!"

Shen Bai looked at the Dark Venerable Envoy as if she were a madwoman. "When you say ’full-power attack,’ you mean this, right?"

He gave a casual wave of his hand.

The next moment, hundreds of blood-red sword gleams materialized in the dark sky.

Each gleam of light pulsed with a terrifying aura, entwined with shadowy text and phantoms.

The Dark Venerable Envoy was stunned.

She stared blankly at the Sword Qi in the sky and suddenly muttered, "The Upper Evil Sect... is in peril."

Only she could sense that every single strand of Sword Qi here had the power to kill her instantly.

’To think Shen Bai can unleash such full-power attacks for an entire day... It’s absurd!’

"The Upper Evil Sect. I’ll pay them a visit. They’ll be joining you soon enough."

Shen Bai raised his Longsword, and a flash of Sword Qi shot out.

The Dark Venerable Envoy’s beautiful head, like a wilted flower, fell from the air and rolled across the ground.

All the surrounding shadows vanished. Everything returned to calm, as if no terrifying battle had ever taken place.

Qin Shuang waved her hand, retracting her fine needles. Staring at the terrifying Sword Qi in the sky, she asked, "Shen Bai, can you really keep that up for a whole day?"

Shen Bai gave her an odd look. "Does it matter if I can?"

"It’s very important."

Chief Zheng, having recovered a little, said, "There are those who can achieve ’Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward,’ but for every one of them, it is undoubtedly an arduous battle."

"Each Grand Realm is like an insurmountable mountain that one can only gaze up at in awe."

"Shopkeeper Shen, your method of Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward... it seems different from others’."

Everyone nodded in unison, their gazes toward Shen Bai filled with an inexplicable awe.

When terrifying prodigies Overcome Adversity and Attack Upward, they must fight grueling battles. For Shen Bai, it’s just a single sword strike.

What appears to be a full-power attack is something he can unleash for an entire day.

Shen Bai thought for a moment. "Perhaps... my ultimate move has become my basic attack."

No one understood what he meant.

’I’m practically a cheat code,’ Shen Bai thought. ’If I still had to struggle while being this broken, I might as well not have the cheat at all. It’d be an embarrassment to transmigrators everywhere.’

With the death of the Dark Venerable Envoy, the matter came to a close.

"Chief Zheng, I’ll leave the cleanup to you. Shen Bai, let’s go have a word."

Shen Bai had just helped Zhou Qing up and checked that he was mostly unharmed when Qin Shuang spoke up impatiently.

"Alright, let’s talk back at the pawnshop. Old Zhou, you need to rest. No more using martial arts."

Zhou Qing agreed, saying he was fine.

Only then did Shen Bai, under everyone’s awestruck gazes, walk back toward the pawnshop with Qin Shuang.

...

On the way back, Qin Shuang kept staring at Shen Bai with sparkling eyes, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Once they reached the pawnshop, Shen Bai shut the door behind them with a backhand motion and raised his hand.

Qin Shuang instinctively covered her head, only to realize Shen Bai was just picking up a nearby teacup to pour himself a glass of water.

"I’m not going to hit you. You put in a lot of effort this time. On behalf of Zhou Qing, thank you."

After all, Qin Shuang was the one who had investigated and gotten Zhou Qing released from his cell.

Qin Shuang giggled, her big eyes locking onto Shen Bai, giving him that look again.

BONK!

A crisp sound suddenly echoed through the room.

Qin Shuang clutched her head, complaining aggrievedly, "You said you wouldn’t hit me."

Shen Bai chuckled. "That was then, this is now. Men are fickle."

Qin Shuang rubbed her head, feeling like the knock might have made her a bit stupider.

Shen Bai set down his teacup, swirling it gently. "Alright, spit it out. What was so important that it had to be discussed back at the pawnshop?"

Qin Shuang’s eyes darted around. She sat down next to Shen Bai and said with a sly grin, "Shen Bai, now that this business is settled, you should come with me to Fenglin State and join the Observatory."

Shen Bai smiled. "I already told you I’d consider it. Why are you so impatient?"

Qin Shuang nodded vigorously, showing just how eager she was.

Someone with his talent, immense strength, decisive methods, and a personality that leaves no loose ends... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

If even Shen Bai couldn’t get into the Observatory, then no one could.

Shen Bai asked, "What are the benefits of joining the Observatory?"

These days, everything comes at a price. But if you pay the price and get no benefit, it’s just a waste of effort.

Shen Bai would only do something if the benefits outweighed the costs.

He wouldn’t give useless endeavors a second glance.

Qin Shuang thought for a moment. "First, the salary is much higher than that of an ordinary official position."

"Secondly, after joining the Observatory, even a State Governor has great privileges, which you’ve already seen."

"Then there’s the information and intelligence. Shen Bai, I know your foundational knowledge is lacking, and the Observatory is the perfect place to shore up that weakness."

"Finally, you really need a proper Longsword. After entering the Observatory, you can choose a Weapon, and you’ll also receive monthly Elixirs to aid your cultivation."
