Ye Chen is dragged to the martial arts grounds to be punished. He silently endures Lin Xiaotian’s humiliation, his eyes full of restrained fury.
Lin Xiaotian crushes Ye Chen’s fingers underfoot and demands compensation. Ye Chen stubbornly refuses, provoking murderous intent.
- The instant his dantian is crushed, Ye Chen’s consciousness sinks into darkness. He hears the beating wings of countless mosquitoes, and black mist pours from his wounded dantian.
The swarm drains the power from Lin Xiaotian’s arm. In terror, he tries to use his cultivation technique to fight back, but the mosquitoes burrow into his meridians.
- Ye Chen coolly watches Lin Xiaotian kneel and beg for mercy. For the first time, he clenches his fist and feels the power the swarm has given him.
Su Qingyao covers her mouth in shock behind the crowd. Ye Chen looks in her direction, a complicated glint in his eyes, leaving the question of whether his identity has been exposed hanging in the air.
The subject matter is novel, and for the first time I know that mosquitoes also have their own role to play. It's worth watching.
