36: Blessed by White Radiance

In this moment, Qin Xiaofan's entire aura transformed. He seemed like the God of Thunder incarnate, every strand of hair standing upright, his eyes blazing with lightning, and from within him, the rumble of thunder echoed faintly.

Skill: Wrath of the Thunder God!

Since his opponent was an A-class ability wielder, he would unleash his full strength and see, once and for all, who was truly stronger.

Crack!

Under his terrifying presence, the rocks beneath Qin Xiaofan’s feet could no longer bear his power—they shattered and collapsed, fragments flying everywhere.

This scene struck terror deep into the soul.

It was a crushing sense of helplessness before the mighty forces of heaven and earth...

Time seemed to slow.

Exhaling a heavy breath, Qin Xiaofan stepped forward. The stone beneath his foot turned to dust, his speed so swift it sent chills through all who witnessed it!

He moved like a silver arc of lightning, flickering in and out of sight, his form almost impossible to follow, so fast it defied comprehension.

Boom!

He unleashed a punch, the shockwave rolling forth, the air itself echoing with the sound of a sonic boom. The sheer power behind this strike was unimaginable.

Iron Fist King Wang Yishan’s expression grew solemn in an instant.

But his pride would not allow him to retreat. He gathered all his strength into his iron fist, which shone with dazzling brilliance, like a radiant sun, and hurled it forward!

Thunderous shockwaves erupted as their fists collided, shaking the earth and sky. The force sent Lu Xiaojin, who lay in a pool of blood, flying from the impact, but fortunately, someone behind caught him.

At the center of the battlefield, both Qin Xiaofan and Wang Yishan were forced a step back.

Qin Xiaofan’s face was grim; he could feel that Wang Yishan was truly formidable. No wonder he was an A-class ability user, far stronger than Scarface A. Within that iron fist was a terrifying power beyond imagination.

This was, without doubt, the strongest enemy he had faced to date.

Qin Xiaofan dared not be careless. Since brute strength could not prevail, he would exploit his advantage in speed.

In a flash, Qin Xiaofan’s figure blurred, distancing himself from Wang Yishan.

Then, stepping forward again, the stone beneath him shattered, his entire form becoming a streak of silver lightning, trailing phantom images behind.

He was so fast he could not be tracked.

This speed… was monstrous!

Cold sweat dripped from Wang Yishan’s brow. Only now did he realize he had met his match.

But to expect him to concede so easily—impossible!

The bronze medalist of the 25th Worldwide Ability User Tournament—this was no empty title. Every victory had been earned, fist by iron fist!

Boom!

Without warning, Wang Yishan suddenly swung his fist.

Something chilling happened.

His punch struck Qin Xiaofan with perfect accuracy. Qin Xiaofan tried to dodge, but was shocked to find himself unable to evade; he had to take the hit head-on, and was sent flying by Wang Yishan’s blow!

This was Iron Fist King Wang Yishan’s ability: his iron fist could hit his target with absolute certainty!

His fist seemed to possess tracking power—once he locked onto his enemy, no matter how they tried to dodge, escape was impossible.

It was absolute—one could only take the blow!

Powerful!

Unbelievably powerful!

So powerful it defied all reason!

Everyone watching was dumbfounded, their skin crawling—if that fist struck any of them, they would die instantly.

And yet, earlier, Lu Xiaojin had survived three punches from the Iron Fist King, which now seemed eerily strange...

At this moment, Qin Xiaofan’s expression was grave.

Wang Yishan’s bizarre power had crushed his hopes of winning through speed. Once again, Qin Xiaofan had to marvel at the might of a combat-type A-class ability user.

What now?

Suddenly, Qin Xiaofan felt a surge of blood and energy within him, a mysterious force rising from deep inside.

Then—

White Radiance!

Qin Xiaofan was surprised, for this mysterious force was the very white radiance that had been flowing into him day and night, ceaselessly.

In this instant, Qin Xiaofan sensed an even deeper connection to the white radiance!

Before, he had never been able to harness the white radiance that had settled within him. Now, at last, he could unleash it at will, transforming it into his most powerful force, blessing his body.

Instantly, a feeling of unprecedented strength flooded him.

Qin Xiaofan could clearly sense that the power bestowed by the white radiance was even more terrifying than the boost from Wrath of the Thunder God!

At this moment, Qin Xiaofan’s entire body radiated brilliant white light.

But only Qin Xiaofan could see this white light directly; to everyone else, they could only sense that his aura had changed drastically once again.

“What... What’s happening...?”

Not far away, Wang Yishan broke into a cold sweat, sensing something was wrong. Facing Qin Xiaofan, he felt as if he was confronting not a man, but a deity!

Such overwhelming power left him without the slightest will to resist.

This was the mystery and terror of the white radiance—not only did it grant Qin Xiaofan unimaginable strength, it transformed his presence in ways beyond belief.

In the next moment, Qin Xiaofan moved.

With a single step, he flashed like a spark of lightning, his form vanishing into the air, invisible to all, leaving only the sound of rushing wind.

Everyone watching was stupefied.

This...

This speed...

It was too powerful!

Wang Yishan instinctively swung another punch.

Qin Xiaofan did not dodge—there was no point. He simply threw his own punch, his fist crackling with lightning, colliding with Wang Yishan’s iron fist.

Boom—

Another clash of fists.

But this time, the result was entirely different from before!

In their previous encounter, their strength had been evenly matched; now, with the white radiance empowering him, Qin Xiaofan’s power was leagues beyond Wang Yishan’s.

Pfft!

Utter devastation!

Wang Yishan was blasted away by a single punch, blood spraying from his mouth as he crashed to the ground, utterly incapable of fighting further.

Crushed!

They were not even in the same league.

Too powerful...

From afar, everyone trembled, their faces pale, utterly stunned by the force Qin Xiaofan had revealed.

“I lost...”

Wang Yishan lay on the ground, speaking in despair.

He had always been confident in his strength, but this time, Qin Xiaofan had utterly overwhelmed him, making all his hard-earned training and sweat seem meaningless.

Qin Xiaofan...

He was simply too powerful for words!

Qin Xiaofan approached Wang Yishan and said, “I won’t kill you, but from now on, you must obey me completely. Can you accept that?”

A flash of confusion crossed Wang Yishan’s eyes. “Wouldn’t killing me benefit you more...?”

Qin Xiaofan smiled. “You should be grateful for your earlier actions. If you had chosen to kill Lu Xiaojin outright, instead of sparing him, you’d be dead now.”

Indeed.

With Wang Yishan’s strength, he could have killed the weak Lu Xiaojin with a single punch, let alone three. For some unknown reason, Wang Yishan had chosen to spare Lu Xiaojin’s life.

It was this casual decision that ultimately saved his own life.

Just as Wang Yishan was about to thank Qin Xiaofan, Qin Xiaofan suddenly called out loudly—

“Someone, string him up! Hang him on the crooked tree at the village entrance. Isn’t he a household name? From now on, I want every new member who awakens their abilities to see him and weigh their own strength before causing trouble. Iron Fist King Wang Yishan—from today, this will be your job.”

Wang Yishan: “...”
