Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 239 Developing Observation Haki, Doing Everything Possible to Become Stronger
"Your constitution is really abnormal."

"You took so many hits from me and didn't even get hurt."

Lin Ruoxi looked at Gu Che's unharmed body and sighed.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit grants her more than just speed; lightning itself is one of the most destructive elements.

Having already possessed the Thunder-attribute God's Eye, her control over lightning increased by more than one level after consuming the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

If it were any other third-tier ability user, they would have been rendered incapable of fighting by that series of attacks, but Gu Che showed no signs of injury whatsoever.

"Although there were no new treasures from the heavens, my physical strength did improve slightly after absorbing the blood and heart of the dragon."

Gu Che said calmly.

The heavenly treasures that suit one's own needs are not something one can simply obtain at will.

If you only have the Azure Dragon Fruit, and you want to become stronger, you must do everything you can to develop the abilities of the Azure Dragon Fruit, and even more than just the abilities of the Azure Dragon Fruit.

"But if it's just a slight improvement in physical fitness, then doing it a few more times won't make a difference."

"I'm really curious what kind of backup plan you have that makes you so confident."

Lin Ruoxi's fingertips crackled with electricity as she spoke to Gu Che.

Being passively attacked is not enough to make Gu Che take the initiative to continue fighting, which means that he must have some means to restrain her speed.

I just don't know what kind of methods they will use.

"You'll know once you try."

As Gu Che finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi's figure suddenly transformed into a blinding bolt of lightning, leaving a winding trail of electricity across the training ground.

Her speed was so fast that it was imperceptible to the naked eye, and each flash was accompanied by the scorching aura of ionized air.

Gu Che, however, closed his eyes unusually, relaxing all his muscles to the extreme.

An invisible network of perception spread through his mind, and he entrusted everything to his premonition.

He didn't need to use his eyes to see; the trajectory of lightning leaping through the air, the energy fluctuations during elemental recombination, and even the subtle changes in Lin Ruoxi's breathing rhythm all transformed into a clear flow of information that flooded into his consciousness.

"Boom!"

Before the thunder roared, the first attack came from the side and behind. Gu Che turned his head slightly as if he had eyes in the back of his head. The lightning grazed the scales on his skin and exploded behind him, leaving spiderweb-like scorch marks.

Without moving his feet, he avoided the fatal blow with only a slight adjustment of his upper body.

Lin Ruoxi's true form materialized on the left, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, as if she had guessed something. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she launched another attack.

This was a series of three surprise attacks. First, a feint of lightning struck straight at the face, but the real killing move was hidden behind two intersecting bolts of lightning.

A look of understanding appeared on Gu Che's face.

He suddenly took half a step forward, causing the feinting lightning attack to miss its target; at the same time, the spiked club slashed at an odd angle, precisely cutting off the path of a bolt of lightning.

The final, seemingly unintentional spin allowed the last bolt of lightning to glide past his side, without even touching a scale.

"caught you."

The moment the third attack missed, Gu Che's spiked club was already waiting at the spot where Lin Ruoxi was about to appear.

When the lightning reformed into human form, it was met with a heavy blow imbued with Armament Haki!
"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Lin Ruoxi was abruptly blasted out of her elemental state.

She staggered back several steps, her left shoulder was shattered, and a bruise appeared on her fair skin.

"As expected, you've mastered Observation Haki."

After seeing Gu Che close his eyes and dodge her attack, Lin Ruoxi realized that Gu Che had mastered Observation Haki.

"The day after the list of extraordinary individuals was updated."

Gu Che answered frankly, then looked at her with a slight smile.

"So, do you still think you can beat me now?"

If he had gone all out with that attack just now, even if he couldn't have rendered Lin Ruoxi unable to fight, he could have seriously injured her.

Although lightning is fast, it is not impossible to deal with if one can use Observation Haki to predict the landing point in advance.

Can I beat you?

"You can remove the word '吗'."

Lin Ruoxi's lips curled up slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

"You seem to have forgotten that when it comes to the development of Observation Haki, I, the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, am far superior to you."

"Even if I don't develop Observation Haki, it's the same."

Gu Che's expression froze; he had indeed forgotten that.

Users of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit are extremely sensitive to electromagnetic waves and bioelectric currents, giving them a natural advantage in developing Observation Haki.

Lin Ruoxi also possesses the Divine Eye of Lightning, giving her meticulous control over lightning.

"Tsk, you were careless."

Gu Che clicked his tongue, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

Lin Ruoxi's figure suddenly transformed into lightning and vanished. The next second, her voice seemed to come from all directions:
"It's my turn."

Gu Che immediately focused his mind and went on high alert, unleashing his full Observation Haki. But this time, what he sensed was no longer a clear lightning trail, but countless disruptive electrical fluctuations!

Interfering with Observation Haki?
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit can be used to do this?
He was startled, and before he could react, a bolt of lightning struck from behind him!
"boom!"

The blow landed squarely on his back, causing the blue scales to shatter. Gu Che grunted and staggered forward a few steps. "Observation Haki, well, it can sharpen one's five senses and give rise to extrasensory perception. It allows one to detect the aura and emotional changes of the creatures around them, but this perception is not uncontrollable."

"Just like now, your senses have been disrupted by me."

"So what should you do next?"

Lin Ruoxi's voice was tinged with laughter. Gu Che gritted his teeth and immediately changed his strategy, no longer relying on pure prediction, but instead relying on his combat instincts and the defense of the dragon scales to withstand the attack.

But without the aid of Observation Haki, his counterattack became difficult once again.

"boom!"

Another lightning strike sent Gu Che flying back several meters, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Admit defeat?"

Lin Ruoxi's figure materialized in mid-air, looking down at him.

"Still early!"

"If I really see no hope of victory at all, I will admit defeat."

As Gu Che spoke, he stomped his foot on the ground, his muscles beneath the blue scales bulged, and his dragon might erupted in an instant!
"Roar--!"

A raging dragon's breath swept across the entire area, with flames and gales intertwining to create an indiscriminate area-of-effect attack!

Lin Ruoxi raised an eyebrow and her figure flashed as she weaved through the sea of ​​fire. But this time, Gu Che no longer pursued a sure-fire hit. Instead, he relied on the powerful physique of the Azure Dragon Fruit to withstand her attacks and forcefully close the distance!
In the instant the lightning flashed, Gu Che suddenly threw a punch, his dragon-scale-covered fist carrying surging spiritual power, and slammed it into the void!

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi also unleashed her spiritual power, and endless lightning collided with Gu Che's attack with terrifying destructive force.

"boom!!!"

Two violent forces collided in mid-air, thunder and dragon might intertwined, creating a visible shockwave that cracked the training ground and twisted and deformed the walls from the aftershocks.

Finally, with a deafening explosion, the two were violently thrown into the air by the recoil!
"boom!"

Gu Che crashed into the distant ruins, lingering arcs of lightning crackling on his azure scales. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but grinned:
"strong enough."

On the other side, Lin Ruoxi's lightning was chaotic for a moment before she regained her balance. She shook her numb arms.

"Come again?"

"Come!"

Gu Che stomped his foot on the ground, causing it to crack. He no longer held back, unleashing the full power of the Azure Dragon Fruit. Dragon scales covered his entire body, and his half-dragon form was muscular and powerful, every inch of which contained explosive energy.

Lin Ruoxi also became serious, transforming into a dazzling thunderstorm, frantically drawing in the electricity from the air and even the training room, concentrating it around her.

"The final blow?"

"Exactly what I want!"

The two of them jumped up at the same time!

Gu Che's dragon claws, wreathed in boiling spiritual energy, tore through the air with a piercing shriek; Lin Ruoxi's lightning unleashed tens of millions of volts of high voltage.

At the moment of contact.

“Rumble——!!!”

The entire training ground was engulfed in blinding light, with only deafening explosions and the groans of the twisting alloy structure heard.

When the intense light dissipated, a giant crater tens of meters in diameter appeared in the center of the arena, with lingering lightning and dragon flames still flickering at the bottom.

Lin Ruoxi knelt on one knee at the edge of the pit. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked at Gu Che, who was equally disheveled, and said:

"Can I still fight?"

"That's enough. Do you really want to kill one?"

Gu Che lay on the other side of the pit, his dragon scales charred black, and said with some helplessness as he listened to Lin Ruoxi's words.

His physique and self-healing ability are strong enough that he can fight again, but Lin Ruoxi does not.

Elementalization is not like in the world of One Piece, where one is almost invincible except for Haki, and spiritual power is enough to ignore the effects of elementalization and cause damage.

Although he is lying down and Lin Ruoxi is kneeling on one knee, Lin Ruoxi's condition is actually no better than his.

Medical staff rushed into the scene in a panic. Gu Che was about to wave his hand and say that he didn't need it, but he saw that they completely ignored him and went straight to Lin Ruoxi's side, carefully looking at her injuries, as if they were afraid that she had suffered some serious injury.

"."

Gu Che couldn't help but roll his eyes. Regardless of the actual situation, at least on the surface, his injuries were more serious than Lin Ruoxi's, right?

At least two people should come and check him out.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing."

"This little injury is nothing."

Lin Ruoxi waved her hand and stood up from the ground.

She was, after all, a third-tier ability user. Even if she was not as good as Gu Che in terms of physique and self-healing ability, she was still far superior to ordinary people. This injury was nothing to her.

Gu Che shook his head, stood up from the ground, and said to Lin Ruoxi:
"you win."

"If it weren't for the limited space, there would be absolutely nothing I could do for you to fly a kite over a long distance."

"I won from the start. Didn't you see I didn't even use the Railgun?"

Lin Ruoxi snorted, as if she could only win when there were no restrictions on the venue. If she wasn't afraid of killing Gu Che with an electromagnetic cannon, she would have used it long ago.

Even if Gu Che might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve, in terms of instantaneous destructive power, it is definitely no match for her railgun.
