I'm a villain in the superhero world.

Night falls, in Haidu, on the shallow waters of the east coast—

Ji Mingyang stood opposite Lü Buyi, his body surging with golden light that never stopped.

He got into position, staring at Lü Buyi's little finger that he had just extended, and didn't feel that he was being looked down upon.

Rather, if he weren't Lü Buyi's friend, he probably wouldn't even bother to fight with his fingers.

Just from their auras alone, Ji Mingyang could feel the chasm between himself and Lü Buyi.

—Based on what Yin Qing explained this morning, I am probably even stronger than the older brother Yin Qing mentioned, so I am definitely in the high tier of the third energy level.

What about Lü Buyi on the other side?

How strong is he, who possesses an aura that makes you feel like you could die if you make a move?

Is it the higher fourth energy level, or the fifth energy level that Yin Qing mentioned, which is enough to suppress a region?

"Are you really sure it's okay... that our sparring here won't cause any negative consequences?"

"The barrier I destroyed with all my might the day before yesterday was comparable in size to the city of Haidu."

Before making a move, Ji Mingyang, fearing that he might cause too much of a commotion, asked a question.

Lu Buyi simply smiled and softly gave Ji Mingyang, who was unfamiliar with the [Three Philosophers System], a brief explanation.

"Don't worry, you don't know how powerful the planet beneath your feet is. The stronger the attack, the more likely it will automatically neutralize it."

"So just go all out, use everything those little golden men in your dreams taught you, don't hold back, otherwise you won't have a chance against me."

The little golden man in my dream... Lu Buyi's words made Ji Mingyang's lips twitch slightly.

How do you even know this?

"I told you, I know everything about you, about the power of the sun—"

Lu Buyi remained calm and composed, as if nothing was outside his control.

"Go all out..." Ji Mingyang took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay to go too far?"

With a flick of his finger, Lü Buyi responded softly.

"Be as brutal as you can—"

Once the words were spoken, there was no need to say "start," nor was there any need to start a timer.

In just a moment, only a large pit remained where Ji Mingyang had been standing.

The sound of wind came from the side, and the golden light was dazzling and relentless!

The most severe attack Ji Mingyang has made in recent years was the one he took the day before yesterday.

At that time, he simply relied on the power of the sun to strengthen his external energies, and kicked through the barrier, destroying buildings within three city districts.

However, unlike the previous explosions that filled the sky with smoke and deafening noise, this time his attack did not produce any aftershocks.

His leg stopped right next to Lü Buyi, gently hidden by the nail on his right little finger.

Look at his nonchalant expression...

Ji Mingyang felt that he was not serious at all; he probably used more force when he held his chopsticks while eating spaghetti at noon today.

"That strong?" Ji Mingyang retreated instantly, landing lightly on the ground, raising an eyebrow and asking in return.

"That's how strong I am." Lü Buyi blew on his fingernails, still displaying his unpretentious demeanor.

"But don't be too discouraged. Considering your age, you're already quite strong—" To avoid damaging the child's confidence, Lü Buyi offered his comments and words of comfort.

"Take that time when you used the power of the sun to imbue the golden light divine spell, for example. Most of the hundred-year-old men in the Three Caves and Four Auxiliary Caves of the Eastern Xia Daoist Sect could not unleash that kind of power."

"If they knew that you had such skill after just a few years of secret practice, they would probably want to kill themselves."

"And how do you compare? Six years ago, how strong were you when you were my age?" Ji Mingyang's focus was clearly not on Lü Buyi's praise of him.

"Comparing yourself to me isn't a good idea..."

"But if I had to say, the outcome of that last attack would probably remain unchanged."

Lü Buyi raised his hand, signaling Ji Mingyang to continue.

Having a thorough understanding of the original work, he naturally knew that Ji Mingyang in the early stages was far more than this.

It should be noted that Ji Mingyang has spent most of his time in his dreams these past few years cultivating under the guidance of Zhang Daoling, the first Zhengyi Master and one of the former Sun Gods.

In the method that Zhang Daoling created based on the changes in the power of the sun, the Golden Light Mantra was just a foundational element.

Yin and Yang alternate, a thunderclap resounds throughout the land—

Among all the sons of the Sun God throughout history, the one who is most outstanding in mastering the transformation of thunder is undoubtedly Zhang Tianshi!

Boom! Boom!

As Lü Buyi's thoughts settled, a deafening roar echoed through the night. Though no rain fell, thunder carried the sound of cumulonimbus clouds.

As dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and crackled—

The light reflected off the faces of Lü Buyi and Ji Mingyang, who stood facing each other below.

Undoubtedly, all these heavenly lightning bolts were manifestations of the sun's power, and were at the beck and call of Ji Mingyang!

Lu Buyi clapped his hands in response: "Quite good. Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, ordinary third-level beings are definitely no match for you."

Azure lightning swirled around Ji Mingyang, causing a slight fluctuation to flash in his eyes.

"Is that considered a compliment?"

"Of course it counts. I rarely give compliments, and most people don't get that kind of praise from me—"

"So, in the future, do you think I have a chance to beat you?"

Hearing this extremely earnest and curious inquiry, Lü Buyi did not provide an answer.

"Better than me..."

Lu Buyi repeated this, looking directly into Ji Mingyang's serious eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"So you're this sharp?"

"Mingyang..."

The words echoed, and at that moment, Ji Mingyang placed his right fist not far in front of him and clenched it tightly—

Then, thunder roared down from the night sky.

It was terrifying and awe-inspiring, shaking the entire region!

However, this earth-shattering blow had the same result as the previous kick.

The beach and sea were unaffected by the aftershocks; all the lightning bolts were blocked by that short, half-inch fingernail.

Just as Lü Buyi had promised at the beginning, he never used any ability from start to finish; he simply extended his little finger and remained motionless.

Ji Mingyang's attack was definitely not just a bolt of lightning from the sky—

Without hesitation, and without being stunned by the lack of any results, he launched another attack the moment his waving failed.

In an instant, from all directions, the overwhelming offensive generated by him completely surrounded Lü Buyi.

Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times...

In less than ten seconds, he attacked countless times, a number he himself lost count of.

But in the end, all attacks have only one outcome.

Invalid, invalid, and still invalid.

Not to mention forcing Lü Buyi to back down, not even a crack appeared on his fingernail.

"No way, no way..."

"The gap can't be that big, can it? The distance can't be that far—"

"From the moment I discovered this power until now, I've been cultivating it to this day. Now you're telling me I'm not even worth a stray dog ​​on the street?"

Ji Mingyang found such thoughts despicable, even... filled with anger and resentment.

Even so, Ji Mingyang still did not give up...

After all, a frog in a well must eventually see the vastness of the sky, right?

It must be admitted that the world is bigger than he imagined.

Moreover, it is much more vast.

Therefore, he must use the ultimate skill he has cultivated over the past twelve years to prove himself—

At least... he is definitely not weak!

Watching Ji Mingyang's offensive begin to slow down, Lü Buyi, who still had time to examine Ji Mingyang's gradually changing stance amidst the storm of attacks...

He recognized what Ji Mingyang was about to do.

"The eternal sun, the scorching light..."

Silently reciting the title that the Commander would bestow upon Ji Mingyang in the future, Lü Buyi, who had always been nonchalant, finally became a little serious.

Prepare to face it head-on; this stems from Ji Mingyang's own affinity for the power of the sun...

Develop!
