Chapter 107 – Meteorite Fist? Nuclear Explosion Fist?

In that instant, Su Ming felt an overwhelming sense of exhilaration.

“Indeed, a man’s battle should be fought with fists meeting flesh!Su Ming discovered that deep within his usually cautious self, there was also a tendency for passionate fervor.

He glanced at the Screaming Demon sent flying by his punch, then at the other Screaming Demon whose head had been blown apart by an identical strike, and became convinced.

“The power of my right hand is indeed more than ten times stronger than my left.”

The differing fates of the two Screaming Demons were due to being struck by different fists.

The first Screaming Demon was hit by Su Ming’s left hand.

The second Screaming Demon was struck by Su Ming’s right hand.

As a result, the second Screaming Demon undoubtedly suffered a worse fate, proving that Su Ming’s right hand was far more powerful than his left.

Moreover…

“My right hand is clearly not just about raw strength.”

Su Ming turned his gaze to his right hand.

Faint, shimmering ghostly light flickered across it.

After a moment’s thought, Su Ming unwrapped the bandages from his right hand, leaving only the fingerless glove.

As the “Seal” was lifted, cracks appeared, causing the ghostly blue glow within to burn like flames.

“Chaa!”

No sooner had Su Ming stopped to undo his right hand than several Blade Demons lunged at him.

They swung their sharp blades, tracing icy arcs as they slashed at Su Ming from all directions, creating a flurry of saber gleams and sword shadows.

Facing this onslaught that sent chills across his skin, Su Ming initially thought to dodge but suddenly had an inspiration. He swung his right hand directly at the incoming attacks.

Instantly, an astonishing scene unfolded.

“Boom!Su Ming’s right hand suddenly erupted with intense ghostly light, accompanied by a shattering sonic boom.

The ghostly light, shadowy and flame-like, moved with his right hand, erasing all saber gleams and sword shadows in its path.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!The blades wielded by the Blade Demons shattered the moment they were touched by the ghostly light.

“Chaa!”

The Blade Demons let out agonized howls.

Though they were blades, they also served as the demons’ limbs.

With their blades broken, equivalent to having their limbs severed, the Blade Demons gushed blood from their stumps.

Ignoring this, Su Ming clenched his right fist, concentrating the ethereal light into a beam-like focus on his knuckles.

Magic power infused within, giving Su Ming a sensation in that moment.

This punch of his could destroy everything in the world.

With this conviction, Su Ming threw the punch.

“Boom—!”

An earth-shattering roar erupted, resonating throughout the space at that very moment.

It was an explosion.

An explosion that obliterated everything in its wake.

The blue light blast was akin to a nuclear detonation, carrying unparalleled destructive force as it annihilated everything here.

Not a metaphor, but literal destruction of all.

The air evaporated.

The ground was torn apart.

Stones were erased from existence.

Dust was blasted away.

And the Phantom Demons that faced the blue light blast head-on—whether the three Blade Demons with broken blades, the lurking Shadow Demons still charging forward, or even the troll lagging behind—all gradually vanished within the light blast, leaving not a trace behind.When everything finally settled, only a massive crater remained on the scene, continuously billowing with scorching smoke.

“……”

Su Ming stood before the crater, maintaining his punching posture, unable to utter a word.

He was dumbfounded.

Truly dumbfounded.

“This… this… this…”

Staring at the scorched earth before him that looked as if it had been ravaged by a meteorite or struck by a nuclear bomb, Su Ming’s mind was profoundly shaken.

“Did… I do this…?”

Su Ming couldn’t believe what had happened.

But then, a wave of weakness washed over him, causing his knees to buckle and nearly sending him collapsing to the ground.

Only then did Su Ming realize that most of the Qi within him had been depleted.

“Was this caused by that punch just now?”

Su Ming almost instantly understood what had happened.

Generally, a Hunter’s Qi doesn’t get consumed.

Unlike Spirit Power, Qi is merely an extension of power from one’s Bloodline—it’s not energy. Under normal circumstances, it doesn’t get consumed but continuously flows within the Hunter’s body, serving as the internal manifestation of physical strength, exhibiting demonic nature, and generating blood energy.

Hunters are Professionals who rely on their physical bodies to fight; they only expend stamina, not Qi.

However, this is only under normal circumstances.

In several special situations, Qi can indeed be consumed.

For instance, when a Hunter with certain Mutation Traits activates special abilities, the Qi within them will be consumed.

Similarly, when Upper-Rank Hunters undergo Demonization, their Qi is heavily depleted.

Once Qi is exhausted, whether it’s Demonization or the special abilities under Mutation Traits, they can no longer be used.

Additionally, some powerful skills developed by elite Hunters, akin to ultimate techniques, also require Qi consumption to execute.

Furthermore, many of the alchemical weapons used by Hunters also need Qi to maintain their performance.

Alchemical weapons that require Qi to operate are typically special, powerful, and extraordinarily effective, so some consumption is to be expected.

The situation Su Ming encountered was clearly the result of using a special ability under a Mutation Trait.

In that punch just now, the attack itself wasn’t the main point; the eerie glow that could unleash such terrifying destructive power was what consumed the bulk of Su Ming’s Qi.

“It seems my right hand harbors an astonishing power.”

Su Ming lifted his right hand with a mix of joy and concern.

“What should that move be called? Meteor Fist? Nuclear Fist? Normal Punch? Or Serious Punch?”

Regardless of the name, one thing was certain: Su Ming had gained a devastatingly powerful ultimate technique.

Although the consumption was significant, Su Ming believed that even an Upper-Rank Professional would meet only one fate if grazed by this punch—death.

If he were to face Yi Junchuan in his incomplete Demonization state again now, Su Ming was confident he could instantly kill him with this single punch.

Of course, after throwing that punch, Su Ming would basically be done for too.

This was the ultimate trump card to be used only in dire emergencies.

“Well, it’s a good thing overall.”

The concern on Su Ming’s face completely vanished, replaced by sheer delight.

After resting on the spot for a while, Su Ming recovered somewhat and was able to stand up.

“Time to find some more Phantom Demons to test this out.”Su Ming felt an almost irresistible compulsion.

……

In the current Huaming District, there was no shortage of Phantom Demons.

Even though this was a remote northern frontline, Phantom Demons still frequently attacked the area, providing Su Ming with ample targets to practice on.

Su Ming charged into groups of Phantom Demons, simultaneously unleashing all his abilities while continuously adapting to his current body.

It must be said that the Bloodline of the Nightmare Species was truly powerful.

How powerful was it?

Not only did it grant Su Ming a right hand with nuclear explosion-level destructive power, but it also gave him physical abilities comparable to high-star Hunters without any training or development, rivaling even those Family Hunters who had trained for many years.

In terms of physical ability alone, Su Ming was already on par with Three-Star Hunters, surpassing top students of the Hunter Department like Li Wei and Xu Qianqian, and even seeming significantly stronger than Xu Yanyan and Yi Junchuan, who had already become Three-Star Hunters.

Su Ming estimated that with his current physical abilities, he probably wouldn’t be inferior even when compared to Gao Xu, a Four-Star Hunter.

“What I lack compared to them is probably combat experience and fighting techniques.”

Su Ming came to this realization.

After all, he had previously been just a Sorcerer, not a Hunter. Even though he had practiced combat techniques in preparation for this day, he still fell short compared to these professional Hunters who had trained in combat since childhood.

Especially since Su Ming’s Physique had just undergone transformation and his Bloodline had just been replaced, there were still many aspects that needed adaptation and adjustment. Naturally, he appeared much more awkward and inexperienced compared to those Professionals who had been Hunters from the beginning.

“However, in terms of hard capabilities, I’m definitely not inferior to those upper-level Hunters.”

Particularly Su Ming’s right hand – even without using its nuclear explosion-level power, it was ten times stronger than his left hand, comparable to the enhancement upper-level Hunters gained after Demonization.

It could be said that Su Ming’s right hand was essentially a Demonized right hand.

Therefore, in terms of right hand strength alone, he wouldn’t be much weaker even when compared to a Four-Star Hunter who had undergone Demonization.

“Speaking of which, I previously obtained a weapon from one of the 147 packages.”

Su Ming recalled this matter.

Earlier, when opening the 147 packages, Su Ming had obtained a weapon specifically for Hunters.

It was an alchemical weapon.

“With that alchemical weapon, even without counting my abilities as a Sorcerer, my combat power should far surpass that of ordinary Three-Star Hunters, right?”

Su Ming felt quite satisfied about this point.

While Xu Yanyan had debuted as a Two-Star Hunter, he hadn’t even officially debuted yet – he had just obtained the Bloodline and become a Hunter – yet already possessed Three-Star level strength.

What was this called?

This was called the difference!

This was the foundation of the Nightmare Species Bloodline, hailed as the Seven-Star pass!

Moreover, Su Ming was still a Sorcerer.

A Sorcerer who had awakened the Vision Mark.

“The Vision Mark… huh?”

Su Ming stopped testing his Hunter abilities and shifted his focus to his capabilities as a Sorcerer.

With practiced ease, he began sensing his Spirit Power, restraining his magical energy while allowing Spirit Power to circulate throughout his body.

Perhaps due to the restraining effect Spirit Power had on Phantom Demon Power, when Spirit Power circulated through his body, Su Ming felt slight stinging sensations all over.However, Su Ming was far more familiar with Spirit Power than with magic, so he immediately controlled the intensity, allowing it to flow gently and obediently.

Thus, Su Ming’s Spirit Constitution was activated.

At this moment, Su Ming also sensed a mysterious power.

Focusing his mind on this power, Su Ming activated it.

“Hum!”

Strange patterns appeared on Su Ming’s forehead.

Eerie red light flickered across the patterns.

Feeling his greatly enhanced spirituality, Su Ming curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
