Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 623 - 359 The Second Superpower_2

"If even this is beyond you, then you’ll only ever reach the Sixth Order," Ye Feng pointed out.

"This..." Hearing this, Lu Tao hesitated. He was unsure if Ye Feng was just messing with him because it seemed too far-fetched.

However, in the VIP box, Wu Yuqin suddenly stood up.

"So that’s how it is. No wonder I always feel like I’m looking at flowers through the fog when I try to comprehend the rules. The problem lies here," her eyes grew brighter by the moment, and the look she gave Ye Feng was touched with a hint of something extraordinary.

Ye Feng, standing on the stage, had made his comments out of interest, not caring whether the other party took it to heart or not.

"Now it’s my turn. Are you ready?" Ye Feng asked, snapping Lu Tao out of his dilemmas.

Then, including Lu Tao, everyone saw a bolt of lightning suddenly emerge from Ye Feng’s palm. More and more lightning appeared, growing denser until it quickly extended from his hand to the rest of his body.

At that moment, Ye Feng was surrounded by swirling thunder, destructive vibrations sweeping outwards. His aura climbed higher with each passing second.

Not just for Lu Tao, but even Pei Jin, at the peak of the Sixth Order, felt a lethal threat.

Before either could react, Ye Feng had already made his move.

Whoosh!

Ye Feng, Stepping Thunder, transformed into a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that even Pei Jin could only see an afterimage.

As a Spiritual Superpowered Being, Lu Tao should have been able to detect Ye Feng’s movements with his spiritual power extended.

But that was of no use, for his body simply couldn’t keep up.

The moment Ye Feng moved, Lu Tao instinctively tried to dodge, but he had only taken one step when Ye Feng was already beside him.

Then, Ye Feng unleashed a force that Lu Tao couldn’t begin to counter, lifted him with one hand, and threw him out of the ring.

The surrounding stands first went quiet for an instant, then erupted in gasps and exclamations.

In the first half, the crowd couldn’t see Ye Feng and Lu Tao’s clash of spiritual power. Just when everyone began to feel disappointed, Ye Feng erupted.

And when he did, it was with the force of a thunderbolt. All they saw was a flash of light before Lu Tao seemed to be struck by lightning, tossing him out of the competition.

Although the encounter was brief, wasn’t this the moment everyone had been waiting for?

Ye Feng once again demolished his opponent with absolutely overwhelming strength.

What’s more, they finally got what they hoped for—a glimpse of Ye Feng’s second superpower.

Thunder!

You could say that it was both within and beyond everyone’s expectations.

Before the preliminary selection began, after learning that Ye Feng was a superhuman, many had speculated his ability to be tied to lightning.

But that guess was quickly dismissed by the netizens themselves because they did not believe the effects of Thunder Tempering could be that strong.

And the standard they compared to was not just anybody—it was Fang Ziyuan, widely acknowledged as the patriarch of lightning abilities.

The scene before them, however, left no doubt of Ye Feng’s power, which couldn’t be surmised with conventional thinking.

With the same lightning superpower, the same use to temper his body, Ye Feng had reached a level even higher than Fang Ziyuan.

As Ye Feng stepped down from the ring, footage of the fight spread rapidly, and thanks to the reputation he had built the previous day.

Thus today, the spread went beyond just Yang City; it became nationwide.

"Haha, that’s more like it! If he’s a monster, he should do things others can’t, and I really look forward to how strong Ye Feng will become when he truly matures," someone said earnestly in the live stream’s comment section.

"Right! Compared to other superhumans, Fang Ziyuan and the other four are both stronger and have more potential. Now that Ye Feng has surpassed even them, perhaps we humans might be able to produce a fighter who can contend with the forbidden zone," someone else agreed immediately.

A day later, the name Ye Feng once again topped the trending search list.

And this time the momentum was even stronger, soaring to the top in less than ten minutes.

Ye Feng didn’t look at the online comments, but the soaring of the Power of Faith gave him a good idea of the situation.

Yesterday, the highest point of Power of Faith I could nearly achieve was about 300,000 points in one day.

Unfortunately, the accumulation of the Power of Faith changes with the emotional fluctuations of humans, so by evening, it had been halved.

Yet, in just a short span of ten minutes, Ye Feng’s Power of Faith surged, reaching a rate of 600,000 points per day, which was double that of yesterday.

Ye Feng was quite satisfied with this result. He believed that as the battles continued, the Power of Faith he could harvest would become higher and more stable, avoiding such dramatic fluctuations.

The development of events that followed was almost as he had anticipated.

There were three matches in total today, and in the last two, Ye Feng maintained his unparalleled strength, instantly defeating two other Fifth Order competitors.

His Power of Faith continued to rise, albeit not as dramatically, reaching a rate of 700,000 points per day.

And by evening, Ye Feng noticed that it hadn’t been halved like the day before; it had only reduced by about a third.

Clearly, his power had gradually won over people’s hearts and would not be easily forgotten.

For the next few days, Ye Feng maintained this rhythm.

He appeared three times a day, almost always instantly defeating his opponents with spiritual power.

The word "almost" is used because when Ye Feng encountered Superhumans with defensive abilities, he would also itch to use his strong physical condition to crush the opponent.

Furthermore, Ye Feng noticed that compared to his swift victories using spiritual power, the audience preferred to see him display a kind of violent beauty and use his fists to blast the opponent off the stage.

His total Power of Faith increased every day. By the fourth day, it had reached a steady income of 500,000 points of Faith Power per day.

This was definitely not a small number.

When it came to the fifth day,

as Ye Feng entered the backstage resting room, many people looked at him with confusion.

They all felt that there was something different about Ye Feng today, but they couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.

Then they began their routine prayers, and what they prayed for was: not to be unlucky enough to face Ye Feng.

Because in addition to the first three days, for which the officials had deliberately arranged stronger opponents for Ye Feng to establish his reputation, the opponents for the last two days were genuinely random.

That was the reason for this scene of prayer, and after several days, Ye Feng had become somewhat familiar with them.

He patted Yuan Hua’s shoulder and said with a smile, "After all, you’re ranked second. Aren’t you supposed to think about how to defeat me, the first one, instead of praying to avoid me? Doesn’t that seem a bit lacking in spirit?"

With an annoyed roll of his eyes, Yuan Hua replied, "I’m no masochist."

Out of all the people in the arena, he was quite unlucky. Besides being forced to fight Ye Feng on the first day by the officials, he had run into Ye Feng again yesterday.

And yesterday, Ye Feng didn’t use his spiritual power, but instead bolstered himself with thunder, defeating Yuan Hua’s summoned Giant Ape with just three punches.

Following that, with one kick, Ye Feng sent him off the stage.

His Heavy Water Gauze, which he had been so proud of, seemed useless against that kick, ripped apart as it was.

After taking two heavy beatings in a row, he naturally did not want to encounter Ye Feng again.

Hearing the other party speak like this, Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, you won’t meet me today."

Upon hearing that, Yuan Hua was first surprised, then as if realizing something, he lowered his voice and said:

"I knew you had a connection with the officials. Could you also put in a word for me, arrange a weaker opponent?"

Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said without any good grace, "What are you thinking!"

As he spoke, he was the first to head towards the testing equipment.

Yesterday, his "Thunderbolt Divine Body" had finally completed its Fourth Stage of cultivation, and he didn’t wait but directly broke through to the Fifth Order.

So, the result of today’s detection by the machine would certainly be more than just the peak of the Fifth Order.
