Dongjiang, Tianhai City.
"Mom, mom."
"What’s on TV?"
"There’s a big brother who’s amazing, even better than the cartoons!"
In the living room of a house, the five-year-old Jiang Lele pointed at the TV, clapping and cheering.
"I don’t know, grandpa told me to turn on the TV earlier and switch to this channel. I don’t quite understand it."
On the balcony, a woman was hanging clothes to dry.
She turned back and affectionately glanced at her son.
At that moment, they heard a sudden thud at the door.
An elder rushed in frantically.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"The competition should have already started!"
"Hahaha, it’s him, it’s him!"
"That’s the kid from Jiangcheng I’ve been telling you about!"
Jiang Xian saw on TV, Lin Yi standing in the void, looking down majestically at everyone.
His eyes sparkled.
Nearly three months had passed.
Seeing him again, Jiang Xian felt the young man before him was unchanged in appearance.
But the aura and authority made even him need to look up in awe.
"Mr. Jiang, are you sure this contestant is from your Jiangcheng??"
"That’s nonsense!"
"How could a place as rundown and out of the way as yours produce such a dragon?"
"You just took office recently, haven’t been watching the matches much, have you?"
"He’s this year’s captain of the Xia Team, representing us in the Pan-Asian Youth Professional Peak Competition!"
"When you boast, at least make it believable!"
Following Jiang Xian, several other elders entered.
A month and a half ago, Jiang Xian received a notice from his superiors.
He was promoted.
And it was like leveling up twice in one go.
Directly from the president of the Professional Guild in the small base city of Jiangcheng.
Promoted to deputy secretary of the Professional Alliance Committee in Tianhai City.
As for why he could be promoted.
Looking at Wang Dahai and Zuo Qian makes it clear.
Because both of them were promoted too.
With Lin Yi, the dragon, emerging.
They naturally rose to prominence along with him.
Jiang Xian silently took out his phone, showing a photo he’d long saved and pinned to his favorites.
The photo showed Lin Yi before heading to Shenxiao.
Posing with him, Wang Dahai, and Zuo Qian.
The photo was evidence.
This time, the other elders fell silent.
All clicked their tongues in wonder.
Jiang Xian’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
Awesome!
"Who is he facing?"
The elder, clearly someone who had watched it all the way from the start, explained, "The third match of the quarterfinals, against Goryeo’s best."
"This is also today’s highlight; their match could be called finals-level!"
"But wait, what happened to the arena?"
"This giant pit and the green barrier, what are those things..."
The elder suddenly found himself bewildered.
What baffled him more was yet to come.
Lin Yi raised his hand.
The sky split open with a massive chasm.
Then the Hand of the Thunder God descended upon the world.
And then the World-Ending Thunder Spear plunged downward!
This sequence of scenes.
Left them all stunned.
Jiang Xian was also in shock.
Huh?
What tier of skill is this?
As a fourth-tier Mage, he clearly couldn’t understand Lin Yi’s current level of combat.
He only knew.
This was a skill beyond his imagination!
[Thunder God’s Fury]
[Layer: Forbidden Curse]
[????]
Floating above the venue, the Spirit Crystal light screen, after a long delay.
Finally provided the basic information about the skill Lin Yi released.
The effect was completely unreadable.
But there’s no need to look at the effect.
Just the words Forbidden Curse.
Were enough to make most professionals’ minds crash.
What tier of skill is a Forbidden Curse?
Of course, there were Mage professionals present too.
These people were looking at Lin Yi as if he were a deity.
Only they knew.
Forbidden Curse signifies ninth-tier magic!
This is the ultimate magic that most of them may never witness in their lifetime!
After the Thunder Spear obliterated Pei Junxi.
It didn’t stop there.
Straight into the ground!
The entire Penglai Island shook and trembled once more!
And the magnitude of this earthquake far exceeded when Lin Yi previously used Gravity Crush.
Fortunately, the arena’s structure was strong enough, preventing the audience from falling due to the tremor.
Roaring thunder, as thick as a barrel, erupted from underground.
Rushing through the entire Penglai Arena.
Even the current’s strength was at a million volt level.
But oddly, the countless spectators in the arena, the sidelines referees, and all the judges on the commentary seats.
Were not affected in the slightest!
The rampant thunder was entirely under the control of that figure in the sky.
[X3!]
A prompt suddenly appeared before Lin Yi.
How could I have forgotten this part?
Even a Forbidden Curse.
Gets enhanced by [Primordial Chaos]!
But this time, it seemed I only got the bare minimum.
Only triggered the Multi-Casting twice more.
Lin Yi was curious how the Thunder God’s Fury Forbidden Curse Multi-Casting would be achieved.
After all, he didn’t have a third hand.
Soon, Lin Yi understood.
The method was simple and brutal!
Just another even larger chasm appeared in the sky again.
Then the divine hand grasped another thunder spear and automatically plunged it down!
The target position, naturally, was also where Lin Yi initially chose!
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Two more World-Ending Thunder Spears pierced the earth.
Jiang Xian’s eyebrow twitched.
A single Forbidden Curse-level magic was already beyond his imagination.
Now three Forbidden Curses descended simultaneously!
This was a cataclysm terrifying enough to level an entire island.
As Jiang Xian had guessed, thunder snakes surged, and the electric web spread across Penglai Island!
A vast number of birds, beasts, and monsters in the jungles were struck by these currents, instantly killed.
The chasm in the sky resonated with the massive thunder spear on the ground.
The dense lightning connected heaven and earth.
Penglai Island was entirely a scene of apocalypse!
"Wow!"
Jiang Xian’s little grandson Jiang Lele clapped excitedly.
To a child, how could he understand what these three thunder spears meant?
He only knew that this scene and sensory impact were far more intense than watching cartoons!
Jiang Xian slumped on the sofa.
His right hand clutched his chest.
Unimaginable, this was just watching via online streaming, witnessing this apocalyptic scene of world-ending thunder.
The audience present.
Wouldn’t they be scared to death?
...
Backstage of the organizing committee.
In the studio responsible for image transmission.
The people who had just been holding their heads, awaiting doomsday, opened their eyes to find everything normal.
Outside, thunder rumbled violently.
But it seemed these raging thunders never harmed them.
Those clasping their hands in prayer, tears were streaming down their faces.
The mercy bestowed by the deity.
Spared the innocent among them.
After surviving the disaster, those people awaited not just safety but a special surprise.
"Minister..."
"The... the data!"
"Look at the data!"
Suddenly, a voice exclaimed.
Those who monitored and managed the competition, viewing every piece of data as crucial, then noticed.
All the data.
Exploded off the charts!
Lin Yi’s three Forbidden Curse Thunder Spears were the battering rams that knocked on the gates of the world of the strong!
