Chapter 471: Chapter 228: Hu Xiuyuan’s Existential Crisis

When Cao Hui saw this from a distance, a dazed look appeared on his face. He muttered, "What the hell kind of monster is this? Is he even human anymore?"

Li Chang’an, having unleashed both Three Heads and Six Arms and Gigantification, was not only colossally large but also astonishingly durable. The hundred-meter-tall giant resembled a mountain from a distance. A full-powered strike from the Tier Seven Secret Mage had only managed to inflict a relatively small wound on his toe. It was utterly terrifying!

Of course, that wasn’t the most important thing.

The most crucial part was that, if they weren’t mistaken, this young man had only been a Reincarnator for three years. How had he already grown strong enough to contend with a Tier Eight Evolver?

This inexplicable, almost nonsensical question lurked in the minds of everyone present, including Su Ruobing, who stood not far away.

Su Ruobing could almost make sense of it.

After all, among everyone present, she was the only one who had watched Li Chang’an rise step by step. Although the strides he took were enormous—in just three years, he had completed a journey that had taken her more than a decade—she could at least faintly trace the path of his growth.

But for Cao Hui and the group of Law Enforcement Officers from the Cao Family’s direct lineage, it was much harder to comprehend.

...

The tense standoff on the battlefield continued.

When the Tier Seven Secret Mage realized his full-powered strike had failed to damage any of Li Chang’an’s vital areas, his pupils contracted sharply.

However, he wasn’t intimidated by the powerful defense Li Chang’an had displayed.

He simply refused to believe that Li Chang’an could truly take a direct hit like that without flinching.

After a moment’s observation, he concluded that Li Chang’an must have used a powerful defensive Magical Treasure, or that the Technique he’d cast had some kind of limitation or flaw.

Otherwise, such a powerful defensive ability having no drawbacks would be completely absurd.

Thus, he quickly rallied and began casting another extremely powerful Technique, intending to see just how long Li Chang’an could hold out.

The Tier Eight Martial Artist also quickly came to the same realization.

Li Chang’an’s terrifying defense had certainly stunned many, but Reincarnators who had reached Tier Seven or even Tier Eight were all battle-hardened elites. Their combat instincts and willpower were far beyond that of a common mob.

The group quickly surged forward again, unleashing a barrage of Techniques and weapons on Li Chang’an as if they cost nothing. But Li Chang’an was massive and thick-skinned; to him, the attacks were little more than a nuisance.

However, they were right about one thing.

Sustaining such a colossal body had its drawbacks. Besides his drastically reduced speed, which forced him to simply endure their attacks, it also consumed a massive amount of Li Chang’an’s stamina.

BOOM...

BANG! BANG! BANG!

In an instant, countless bursts of Energy detonated. The shockwaves from the various exploding attacks washed over Li Chang’an’s body, assailing him in a relentless, frantic storm.

Li Chang’an neither dodged nor evaded, taking all their attacks head-on. He wanted to use this opportunity to test the limits of his defense while in his Gigantification state.

While the attacks did inflict some damage, that was the extent of it. They couldn’t hurt him in any fundamental way.

At this sight, everyone’s pupils contracted. Even though they thought they had already greatly overestimated the defense of Li Chang’an’s enlarged form, they never imagined he could achieve such a feat—standing motionless and tanking the combined assault of so many High-level Evolvers.

Of course, amid their shock, they also spotted Li Chang’an’s weakness.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to move; rather, after his body became enormous, his speed was severely impacted.

In other words, the current Li Chang’an was nothing more than a living target in their eyes, one they could attack and destroy at will.

However, just as the Law Enforcers were preparing to press their attack, intending to wear him down in a battle of attrition, Li Chang’an—still in his giant form—had finished testing the full extent of his defensive power after pushing the Innate Divine Technique, Gigantification, to its limit.

To put it simply, as long as Li Chang’an had enough stamina to maintain his full Gigantification state, it would be no exaggeration to call his body an indestructible iron wall!

Having tested the limits of his various talents, Li Chang’an finally stopped playing around. His body abruptly shrank, returning to its most optimal proportions.

They all thought he could no longer sustain the form and were overjoyed, increasing the frequency of their attacks.

However, Li Chang’an quickly taught a few of them a lesson they would never forget.

—Li Chang’an’s speed suddenly exploded, and he vanished like a bolt of lightning. By the time anyone realized he was gone, it was too late. His attack, triggering the ten-times damage from the Divine Hand ability of his "Martial Arts God" talent, directly blasted a Tier Seven Early Stage Evolver into a cloud of blood in mid-air!

The punch was so fast and fierce that by the time Li Chang’an had already landed the blow, retreated, and was preparing for his next attack, some of the others were only just belatedly snapping out of their shock at the mortal danger. They trembled, their blood running cold.

It was hard to imagine that he was just a young City Lord from some remote backwater. He had only been a Reincarnator for three years, yet the combat prowess he now displayed was this terrifying.
