Chapter 127: Fire Fist! Water Dragon! Chairman Ba!

"Chang Ming's death is well deserved!"

Ba Liming's expression was calm as he said, "I was just curious about the person who defeated him. Junior Brother, there shouldn't be many in our country capable of killing someone with Chang Ming's strength, right? Besides, those people wouldn't have the time to come here."

Hearing this, Chairman Chen sighed in relief.

If his senior brother suddenly decided to avenge Chang Ming, he would definitely side with his son.

It's not just about familial ties.

His son killed Chang Ming to protect him.

Although Chairman Chen never mentioned it, he felt deeply moved and proud to have such a son!

"Senior Brother, you're right. Do you know that Chang Ming not only wanted to kill me, but he also switched allegiance and became a disciple of the Martial God in Australia?"

"He killed Old Li not to challenge you but to distract you, so you wouldn't help me fight for the Elemental Demon's core."

"After a few years abroad, that bastard completely changed, resorting to any means necessary, becoming utterly vile!"

Ba Liming's expression remained calm: "When a person dies, their grudges should be forgotten."

He seemed uninterested in discussing Chang Ming's character any further and shifted the topic: "Junior Brother, I heard the Elemental Demon's core ended up with you?"

"Yes, I've already given it to my son, Chen Ye."

Chairman Chen smiled.

He had intentionally spread this information to protect his son, ensuring others wouldn't associate him with Long Aotian.

"It was Long Aotian who helped you obtain it, right?"

"Yes!"

Ba Liming fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Was it also Long Aotian who killed Chang Ming?"

This time, Chairman Chen didn't hide it: "That's right."

Ba Liming's eyes gleamed with strong interest: "Long Aotian possesses such strength? Junior Brother, did you convey my request to spar with him?"

Chairman Chen knew that Ba Liming referred to his previous message, asking for a friendly duel with Long Aotian.

Without hesitation, Chairman Chen replied, "Yes! Long Aotian said he wasn't interested in sparring; he is a reclusive cultivator seeking power."

Ever since he knew Long Aotian was actually his son, Chairman Chen had been protecting him at every turn.

Recently, many people had inquired about Long Aotian's background, and he had brushed them all off.

As for his senior brother wanting to spar with Long Aotian... that was definitely not something he could agree to!

Long Aotian was his son, after all!

Hearing this, Ba Liming looked disappointed.

"By the way, Senior Brother." Chairman Chen glanced at the young man standing behind Ba Liming: "You haven't introduced this young man to me yet!"

"This is a junior from a friend's family." Ba Liming rarely smiled: "He's a promising martial artist. My friend entrusted him to me for a few years of guidance."

If it's really a few years of guidance, then it's not much different from taking him as a disciple.

Then, Ba Liming told the young man, "Shuilong, introduce yourself."

Hearing this, the young man said, "Hello, Chairman Chen, my name is Zheng Shuilong. It's an honor to meet you!"

His attitude was fairly polite.

However, Chairman Chen felt that the young man's gaze held a bit of arrogance.

"Zheng Shuilong? I remember now. Last year's National Freshman Competition, your team won, right?" Chairman Chen asked.

"Yes, it was my team!" Zheng Shuilong smiled: "I didn't expect Chairman Chen to watch such competitions."

"I occasionally keep an eye on them." Chairman Chen smiled and praised: "Judging by your performance in the ring, you've already mastered the hidden force, right? To achieve this at such a young age is quite impressive."

In truth, Chairman Chen didn't particularly like this young man.

His arrogance seemed ingrained in his bones.

He was nothing like his son, Chen Ye, who was low-key, humble, polite, handsome, and strong...

Chairman Chen was just giving a few compliments out of respect for his senior brother.

...

Two days later.

Chen Ye finally recovered from his fever.

The fire-elemental demon core had been completely absorbed by his heart and had disappeared.

On this day.

Chen Ye woke up feeling exceptionally refreshed.

He vaguely sensed a mysterious energy within his body that he could easily control, as if it would explode with just a thought.

He had felt this before, but during his fever, his mind was too muddled to notice it as strongly as today.

Then.

Chen Ye raised a hand, cautiously controlling the energy to release just a bit...

Instantly!

An astonishing scene unfolded.

"Poof!"

A flame suddenly erupted from Chen Ye's palm, almost burning down the house...

Chen Ye was startled and quickly clenched his fist, extinguishing the flame immediately.

Unfortunately, it was a bit too late.

The wooden ceiling was already charred black.

Ordinary flames wouldn't have burnt wood so quickly.

The main reason was Chen Ye's high spiritual attributes, which were in the hundreds.

The elemental demon core's energy, like S2's telekinesis, was linked to spiritual strength.

The stronger the spiritual attribute, the stronger the superpower!!

"Damn, this is powerful!"

Chen Ye dared not experiment any further.

He was afraid of burning down the house.

As far as he knew, his father, Chairman Chen, only owned two properties in Lin'an City.

One villa had already been wrecked by him.

If he burned down this flat, the family of three would have to spend the night outdoors.

Then.

Chen Ye washed up, dressed, and prepared to go out.

"Son, you're awake? How do you feel today?"

"Mom, I'm fine now."

"Are you going out?"

"Yes!"

"Getting some fresh air is good... but remember, your uncle is coming over for dinner tonight. Be back early."

"Got it."

Regarding Ba Liming's presence in Lin'an City, Chen Ye had long known from his father.

Chairman Chen had specifically instructed him not to display his strength in Lin'an City recently, and especially not to use the identity of Long Aotian, avoiding any public appearances until Ba Liming, that martial arts fanatic, had left.

...

A moment later.

Chen Ye arrived at the outskirts, at the foot of a desolate mountain.

It was rumored that monsters frequently appeared here, so no one dared to come.

With Chen Ye's current strength, he certainly had nothing to fear from any monsters.

He came here to test his new abilities.

Chen Ye raised his right hand again, and with a thought.

"Poof!"

A flame appeared in his palm.

It was quite magical!

Seeing this, Chen Ye smiled happily.

However, he wasn't overly excited.

Compared to the thrill of acquiring Saitama's physique, this was far less exhilarating.

Fire abilities, for the current Chen Ye, were just minor tricks.

Then, he started playing with the fire in various ways.

Given his strong spiritual attributes, he could afford to experiment.

After a few hours, he finally became familiar with his fire abilities.

The fire abilities were straightforward to control, similar to Tang Zichen's telekinesis.

Under Chen Ye's control, he could even shape the flames into any form!

Moreover, Chen Ye discovered that the flames he released were very hot.

He picked up a discarded steel bar from the ground and tried to burn it with the flames, and it quickly turned red.

It seemed that the temperature of the flames was also related to his spiritual power.

The most amazing thing was that the flames could no longer easily harm Chen Ye.

It wasn't that the flames he released could "recognize" him.

Rather, Chen Ye could release a high-temperature-resistant magnetic field to prevent the flames from approaching his body.

This ability was evidently brought by the Elemental Demon core, as it didn't exist before.

Overall, Chen Ye was quite satisfied with his fire abilities.

It was worth spending so many days in Daxing.

Chen Ye checked the time and prepared to head back.

At this moment.

A scene popped into his mind...

It was of a young man who had eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit from the anime world, highly popular on the former Earth.

His signature move was creating a giant fire fist, easily destroying many ships with great destructive power.

The move was called "Fire Fist"!

"With my current fire abilities, I should be able to create a giant fire fist too, right? Coupled with my current strength, I should be able to simulate a powerful Fire Fist without any issues..."

Thinking of this.

Chen Ye decided to give it a try.

He took a deep breath and then clenched his fist!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Intense flames ignited from his right fist.

Then.

Chen Ye controlled the fire ability while throwing a punch forward.

"Boom!"

The air exploded with a sonic boom.

The flames on his right hand instantly formed into a fist shape, following his punch like a cannonball.

The fire fist grew larger with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it became a giant fire fist with a diameter of over five meters!

"Whoosh—"

The giant fire fist roared through the forest, obliterating all flowers, grass, and trees in its path, leaving a burning trail with a diameter of over five meters.

"Boom!"

Finally, the fire fist hit a small hill ahead, causing a violent explosion.

A large chunk of the hill was blown away!

The power was impressive.

Chen Ye's eyes lit up.

"Damn! It actually worked? This move is really cool, but its power seems a bit lacking. It might have increased the destructive power of my punch by about sixty to seventy percent?"

It was because his strength was too high that he wasn't impressed by this level of destructive power.

In reality, the destructive power of his "Fire Fist" had reached the standard of the fourth tier.

Its power was no less than that of a single anti-tank missile!

"Maybe my spiritual attributes aren't high enough yet!"

Chen Ye thought to himself, "If my spiritual attributes were as high as my other attributes, the power of the Fire Fist I just unleashed would be considerable, right? It probably wouldn't lose to Ace's Fire Fist in the One Piece world!"

With this conclusion.

Chen Ye smiled.

...

Half an hour later.

By the time Chen Ye returned home, the sun had already set.

There were guests at home.

In addition to his uncle Ba Liming, whom he had met before, there was also a young man with an arrogant face.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back... Hello, Uncle!"

Chen Ye greeted them.

Finally, he looked at the young man and asked curiously, "And who might this be?"

The young man extended his hand to Chen Ye: "Hello, you must be Chen Ye. I'm Zheng Shuilong, currently learning martial arts from Uncle Ba."
