The Most Random System

Chapter 1117 - 499: I’m Just Here for the Drama, Not to Be the Drama (Part 2)

"Why do I get the feeling you guys are about to throw down?" Lin Li spread his hands helplessly. "I was just worried you’d misunderstand, so I came to clarify, let you know this whole thing has nothing to do with me. Then you can go back to handling your internal dispute. I’m not getting involved.""You said it yourself, this is our internal dispute." Little Green looked at Lin Li with a serious gaze,

"But right now, your identity has become a bigger external problem we need to worry about. The internal dispute will have to wait.

If you don’t mind, could you let us break your hands—don’t worry, we’ve got Healing-type Awakened in the city. Once we’ve finished our investigation and greeting and confirmed you’re harmless, we can fully fix that level of injury."

Lin Li actually felt Little Green was pretty polite.

He glanced at the system—the mission still wasn’t completed.

Theoretically speaking, these four should already clearly understand he definitely wasn’t here to have an affair with Anping. Which means the "image building" part of the mission still wasn’t done?

They didn’t give Lin Li much time to think; the four on the opposite side had already launched their attack.

Little Green struck first, pushing both palms forward. Two blue-white lightning serpents, several times thicker than before, roared out, lunging straight at Lin Li’s face.

But this was the hardest part to keep a straight face for. The arcs of electricity danced, lighting up the calm smile on Lin Li’s face.

Back when he was peeing on exposed power lines, this kid hadn’t even... no, this kid actually had already been born.

"Heh, parlor tricks like this, and you dare show off in front of me."

After deliberately tossing out that line, Lin Li didn’t even raise a hand to block, letting the raging thunder crash into him. The lightning vanished like a stone sinking into the sea the moment it reached about a foot from his body, dissolving into nothing. It didn’t even lift a single strand of his hair.

Lin Li gave a thumbs-up. "Thanks, I’m fully charged now."

Little Green’s pupils shrank sharply, disbelief all over his face. "How is that possible?!"

And just as the lightning dissipated, Little Yellow had already shot in like a cannonball.

Lin Li had already had a rough guess about his Awakening direction; now he was certain. Muscles bulged, veins popped, and Little Yellow drove out a simple, no-flourish straight punch, slicing the air with a shrill sonic boom!

This punch carried the full burst of a strength-type Awakened.

Jin-ko-ya!

"Your strength is okay, but your intent is clumsy." Lin Li said mildly.

Of course,

On the surface: mild.

Inside: "Power Storage," on! "Hardening," on!

In the eyes of the others, Lin Li didn’t move his body at all. He just casually raised his left hand, fingers spread, and lightly met Little Green’s casserole-sized fist.

"Bang!"

A dull thud rang out as a shockwave erupted with the two of them at the center, blowing random junk around the room.

Okay, it wasn’t that over the top. The two just locked into a contest of strength. But that punch, which really could have split stone and shattered monuments, was firmly caught by Lin Li’s single palm.

Lv Mingyan’s eyes went wide.

He’d been all ready to tank flames or lightning, but he hadn’t expected Lin Li to directly meet him with brute strength.

What he hadn’t expected even more was that at the point of contact between fist and palm, he felt like he’d punched a ten-thousand-foot cliff. The rebound force sent lancing pain through his arm, his knuckles feeling like they were about to crack.

Little Yellow’s face flushed red as he poured everything he had into it, yet he couldn’t budge Lin Li in the slightest.

Veins bulged on Little Yellow’s forehead as he roared, swinging his other hand toward Lin Li.

Lin Li didn’t use his free left hand to catch it. Instead, he even loosened his grip with his right, no longer meeting the attack head-on. Losing his balance, Little Yellow’s whole body toppled forward toward Lin Li.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Li slid forward with a sidestep to dodge Little Yellow. At the same time, his free left hand closed on thin air and a delicate jade comb appeared in his grasp. Acting as if no one else existed, he calmly tidied a few wind-blown strands of hair on his forehead with an elegant, composed motion.

"F*ck, I accidentally triggered a perfect dodge animation."

Reality isn’t a turn-based game. Big Yellow had already made his move. His body turned rubbery-soft, arms stretching out in a bizarre way like two tough leather whips. With a whoosh, they snapped left and right toward Lin Li’s legs, trying to bind him and limit his movement.

At the same time, part of his body underwent Hardening. His knee turned into an iron hammer, driving toward Lin Li’s waist and abdomen.

"You’re a Nika Fruit too?" Lin Li had actually already noticed. Without even looking down, he lightly tapped his left foot on the ground. "Too bad you don’t even have Haki. You’re just a pathetic chicken and stray dog."

"Buzz."

The earth technique from the Five Elements Technique kicked in.

An invisible shockwave rippled outward. The encroaching "rubber arms" were sliced as if by unseen blades, instantly going limp and snapping back.

At the same time, the crowbar on the ground flew up on its own and smacked into his body, forcibly interrupting the knee strike and sending his stance staggering backward.

"With sun and moon in hand, I pluck the stars—none in this world like me by far—"

Lin Li softly chanted, eyes filled with contempt for all beneath heaven. Without even turning his head, he lightly caught Little Yellow’s punch from behind, tightened his grip, and gave it a sharp twist.

"Crack!"

A bone-splitting crunch made everyone’s teeth ache. Little Yellow let out a shrill scream as his wrist twisted into a grotesque angle.

Lin Li also wanted to test his "strength" when he wasn’t suppressing his Foundation Establishment-level cultivation. Spiritual Qi flowed through his whole body and, with Power Storage amplifying it, he swung Little Yellow into the wall with a vicious throw.

"Boom!"

The wall caved in with a shallow crater as Little Yellow spewed blood and collapsed to the ground, clutching his broken wrist and groaning in agony, completely losing his combat capability.

Tsk, with this kind of strength, if he played forehead-flicking games in real life, he’d probably leave the other guy with a huge bruise.

Seeing this, Little Green’s eyes nearly split. Throwing caution to the wind, he gathered all the electricity in his body again, palms pressed together as an even thicker, almost solid lightning pillar blasted toward Lin Li’s back.
