Chapter 1035 An Unignorable Girl

With the restrictions lifted, Junko Hokaze, now able to unleash her full power, possesses combat strength comparable to a Level 5. At this moment, Lin Wuming is facing such a near-Level 5, along with more than twenty Level 4 and Level 3 ability users who work seamlessly with her.

In other words, it's the combined fighting power of the Shokuhou faction!
To be fair, if we exclude Junko Hokaze, the collective offensive of the Shokuhou faction was nothing special; despite its strength, it was ultimately impossible for them to pose a substantial threat to Lin Wuming.

As a Level 5 user, Lin Wuming has an overwhelming advantage over almost all other lower-level ability users!

However, it was precisely because of Junko Hokaze, a near-Level 5, who served as the vanguard general, that the power of all members of the Shokuhou faction was integrated into one, resulting in a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

More often than not, Junko Hokaze's powerful attack, which was enough to threaten Lin Wuming, was merely used as a deterrent, allowing other members of the faction to fully utilize their abilities.

Just as these girls said before the battle, this duel was a rare opportunity for them—to receive practical guidance from Lin Wuming.

It was less of a duel and more like a live-fire exercise.

Misaki Shokuhou was certain that Lin Wuming wouldn't harm the girls from her faction, which is why she dared to use such a strategy, right?

While dealing with the girls' attacks, Lin Wuming also used his mental power to scan and observe his surroundings.

Among these active girls, only Junko Hokkaido is a threat; however, even with Junko Hokkaido included, none of the members of the Shokuhou faction are truly the key. The one who needs to be watched is Misaki Shokuhou herself.

Although Misaki Shokuhou did not come to the battlefield in person, Lin Wuming believed that she was definitely nearby watching this situation.

After all, this was a duel between Misaki Shokuhou and herself, and given her personality, she couldn't possibly leave everything to her subordinates...

As he was analyzing the situation in his mind, Lin Wuming suddenly became alert—something was not right!
Lin Wuming clearly sensed a threat approaching, but the current battle situation was stable and there was nothing beyond his control.

But he immediately discovered the problem—there was a subtle discrepancy between the feedback from the telekinetic scan and what he actually saw…

If Lin Wuming hadn't focused on using his Nen to scan for Misaki Shokuhou, he probably wouldn't have realized this.

—Is it an illusion? Or is it directly interfering with my senses?

Lin Wuming did not hesitate. As a user of telekinesis, he naturally chose to believe the results of the telekinetic scan under these circumstances.

— Junko Hokaze had already arrived in front of him, about a second faster than what he had actually seen.

The psychic barrier couldn't stop her fist, so...

Lin Wuming gathered his mental energy into his right hand and threw a punch to meet the attack.

Two fists, one large and one small, collided head-on, and the resulting gust of wind and the dull pain in their knuckles dispelled the "illusion" before their eyes.

Lin Wuming saw Fanfeng Junzi right in front of him, and blood splattered everywhere where their fists collided.

With a stern face, Fanfeng Junzi seemed oblivious to the pain, instead exerting even more force, forcefully pushing Lin Wuming's fist away; then she withdrew her fist and continued to swing her left fist.

Lin Wuming also extended his left hand, but instead of meeting her fist head-on, he grabbed the girl's fist with his palm, trying his best to neutralize and absorb her unstoppable punch.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. While Lin Wuming's Nen ability is indeed known as "omnipotent," able to mimic the enhancement and self-healing effects of the "Heavenly Garment," this imitation is ultimately no match for the original ability. In the blink of an eye, Junko Hokaze's right hand injury had healed. Apart from a few traces of blood on her fair skin, there was no indication that she had ever been injured.

In contrast, Lin Wuming simply used his Nen ability to fix and strengthen the damaged finger bones and seal the wounds on the surface of his skin.

This operation won't affect the upcoming battle, but it's definitely far from a full recovery.

Using the basic principle of rock-paper-scissors, Lin Wuming wrapped his palm around Fanfeng Junzi's fist and pulled her towards him along with the girl's unstoppable momentum.

Too much rigidity leads to breakage. Junko Hokaze's ability, "Heavenly Garment," dictates that her fighting style must be straightforward and extremely fierce.

This fighting style, combined with the powerful physique and self-healing ability brought by the "Heavenly Garment," is enough to deal with the vast majority of enemies.

But Lin Wuming is no ordinary person either. With the enhancement of his Nen ability, his physical abilities are only slightly inferior to Hokaze Junko's, and overall they are at the same level. Under this premise, techniques such as "overcoming strength with softness" become useful.

He successfully pulled Junko Hokaze into his arms, and then swiftly threw her over his shoulder, slamming her to the ground.

With the "Heavenly Garment" as a bonus, the girl's strength is terrifying, but her weight will not change as a result, so grappling is the most effective and energy-saving tactic.

Junko Hokaze's response was simple and brutal—she punched the ground with her free right hand, using the recoil to counteract Lin Wuming's slamming.

However, she overlooked one point: the ground structure of this battlefield had been damaged by Misaka Mikoto's lightning attack, and it was currently in a state of soft gravel and semi-solidified lava.

Therefore, Junko Hokaze's fist easily sank into the ground, but failed to generate the expected reaction force.

In the end, Junko Hokaze managed to neutralize the damage from Lin Wuming's throw, but an unexpected situation disrupted her balance, preventing her planned counterattack from taking place.

With nowhere to exert her strength in mid-air, Junko Hokaze was just an ordinary girl with no way to use her superhuman strength; Lin Wuming seized the opportunity and used his Nen ability to throw her far away.

Knowing the power of the "Heavenly Garment," Lin Wuming held nothing back, using the projection technique of the "Psychic Acceleration Cannon" to throw Fanfeng Junzi a kilometer away in one go.

At Junko Hokaze's speed, it would take at least ten seconds for her to return to the battlefield, and in that time, Lin Wuming would have enough time to deal with all the other members of the Shokuhou faction!

As Lin Wuming had planned, the Shokuhou faction's fighting strength plummeted after losing its core general, Junko Hokaze, and was easily defeated by Lin Wuming.

Lin Wuming was very measured in his actions, only using just the right amount of power to "defeat" them once, making these girls realize the difference in strength and back down.

Unless Misaki Shokuhou personally takes control of her faction, this battle can be considered over...

wrong!

Lin Wuming suddenly realized he had made a huge mistake—he had overlooked someone.

Tiger Bee Toumi, although also a member of the Bee-Eating Clan, is a person with an extremely special identity.
