Chapter 501: Rank A, Second Place: Thunder God
Chapter 501: Rank A, Second Place: Thunder God
Feng Ye offered a faint smile as he sipped his icy fruit juice, his tone casual as he addressed the frost-covered woman before him, "Seeing is not always believing, and hearing is not always deceiving. If we make snap judgments based on first impressions, we often end up mistaken."
"...!"
Drops of perspiration formed on Blizzard's forehead. She briefly closed her eyes, then opened them again, letting out a soft hmm. With her hands placed on her hips, a faint green glow emerged from her body.
"You sure have a silver tongue. Now, show me this ability and strength of yours that you claim surpasses mine!"
Enveloped in the green glow, Blizzard's figure began to levitate slightly. A whirlwind swirled around her as she looked down at Feng Ye and spoke, "Otherwise, how can you expect us heroes, who are supposedly inferior to you, to be convinced?"
Feng Ye chuckled softly.
Setting down his crystal glass, he replied, "Alright, as it happens, I have some free time at the moment. But this isn't a suitable place for a battle."
Blizzard huffed, "Don't try to wriggle out of this with lame excuses. Are you thinking of running away? That's absolutely—"
Her voice abruptly cut off.
As she uttered the last word, she saw Feng Ye stand up from his seat, and with a sudden flicker, he appeared right in front of her.
Before she could react, she felt herself being pushed backward, an unstoppable force sending her hurtling away. It was as if she had accelerated from a standstill to a speed of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers per hour in an instant, causing the surroundings to blur!
Whoosh!
After a brief two seconds, everything came to a standstill once more.
Looking around, they were no longer by the hotel pool but had arrived in a desolate suburban area, surrounded by dilapidated buildings that seemed long abandoned.
Feng Ye gently withdrew his hand from Blizzard's chest and smiled faintly, "We're in the outskirts now. If you're ready, let's begin."
"Ugh..."
Blizzard's face paled, and she felt a wave of nausea and dizziness wash over her. She couldn't help but bend over.
What would an ordinary person feel if they were suddenly accelerated from a standstill to dozens of kilometers per second? They would likely perish on the spot.
Although she had instinctively used her superpower to protect herself, the moment Feng Ye pushed her, she still endured an unimaginable force.
Even though she wasn't injured, it felt like being carsick and then riding a supercar at full speed—leaving her unable to stand steady.
Blizzard stumbled, retching as if she were pregnant, then staggered back a few steps, her body swaying unsteadily. Finally, she sat down hard on the ground, feeling dizzy.
"Ah... I deliberately slowed down a bit because I was worried your body couldn't take it, but it seems I was still a bit too fast."
Feng Ye smiled at Blizzard, who was sitting on the ground, looking unwell.
As a person with superpowers, Blizzard's recovery was much faster than an ordinary person's. After a few breaths, her dizziness began to subside.
After calming herself, she glanced around, initially looking bewildered, then gazed into the distance, her eyes gradually widening in disbelief.
In the distance.
There was a huge, dilapidated sign, and on it, one could barely make out some words—'Welcome... to... C City... M District.'
C City's M District!
She remembered this place. It had been destroyed by a disaster a month ago. Because it was on the outskirts of C City, the government had decided not to rebuild it.
What she couldn't believe was that this place was at least 50 kilometers away from the city center, where the Crown Hotel was located!
"How is this possible...?"
Blizzard stood there, her body rigid.
The man before her—
In an instant, he had pushed her from the center of C City to its outskirts!
How could something so outrageous be possible! It was indescribable with mere words like "fast." It far exceeded her imagination, and even her sister, Tornado, might not have been capable of such a feat!
"You... you..."
Blizzard trembled as she stared at Feng Ye.
Just then, the tensed atmosphere was broken by the ringing of a bell—it was the small earpiece Feng Ye had hanging in his hair.
Due to the sudden acceleration earlier, the earpiece seemed to malfunction, emitting an ear-piercing noise before the voice of a staff member from the Hero Association came through.
"Mr. Feng Ye, this is the Hero Association."
"We are contacting you to inform you that due to your outstanding performance during the J City disaster, your hero ranking has been elevated from 39th place to 2nd place in the A-Class rankings..."
Feng Ye removed the earpiece and flicked it with his finger, but when it didn't fix the issue, he shook his head slightly and said to the device, "Alright, I understand."
"By the way."
The staff member's voice continued from the earpiece, their tone respectful, "Due to your recent heroic activities, Mr. Feng Ye, you now have a hero name. The people have taken to calling you—Thunder God!"
"Alright, I understand," Feng Ye replied with a slight smile.
This hero name was not unexpected to him. Given the abilities he had displayed, titles like "Thunder Emperor" or "Silver-Haired Thunder God" were to be expected, and certainly not something like "Bald Emperor."
Zzz!
The earpiece emitted a disconnecting sound, followed by a few sparks, and then it exploded mildly in Feng Ye's hand, turning into a pile of fragments.
Feng Ye shook his head at the sight and didn't bother using his time-reversal ability to restore it. Instead, he lifted his hand and tossed the fragments into the ruins behind him.
In front of him.
Blizzard, who had been kneeling with her legs apart, looked up at Feng Ye, a bead of sweat trickling down her delicate cheek from her forehead. Her throat moved slightly.
J City?
Didn't that disaster just happen this morning? How could he have resolved the crisis in J City and returned here? It had only been an hour or two!
Moreover, he was now the second-ranked A-Class hero, the Thunder God...
In just a short time since becoming a hero, he had climbed from the bottom of the A-Class rankings to the second position...
At this moment, she realized her mistake. Feng Ye wasn't one of those heroes who relied on deception and luck to climb the ranks without any real ability. He was a genuine powerhouse!
"It seems you've given up on testing my strength," Feng Ye said with a gentle smile as he circled around Blizzard, coming to a stop behind her, his hand resting on her back.
The first half of his movement caused Blizzard to turn her head, following his motion, but the touch on her back caused her expression to freeze, and she realized something.
Could it be...
"No!"
She activated her superpower, and a verdant glow enveloped her body, causing her to float slightly above the ground as she tried to distance herself from Feng Ye and push him away.
But before she could finish her movement, she heard Feng Ye's gentle laughter, "I'll send you back. Don't worry, it'll be quick."
Shua!
A flash of lightning streaked by.
The two figures disappeared from the ruins, leaving only faint arcs of electricity weaving through the air before gradually fading away.
