Chapter 11
Strip could rob people of their Esper Abilities and turn it into Esper Ability Beads. These Esper Ability Beads could allow one to possess Esper Abilities, and this could be used by Yang Xi himself or someone else.
At the same time, the Esper Ability Beads could be activated or sealed. In other words, if Yang Xi were to place an Esper Ability Bead on someone else, he would not only be able to decide whether or not that person possessed an Esper Ability, but also when they would possess it.
For ordinary people who wanted to become stronger, this was an irresistible temptation.
A tense atmosphere spread out in the booth, and the girls fled in all directions. Even Lin Naixue was dragged away by her close friends. Liu Yuan, on the other hand, broke free from the girls and sat in the booth to watch the show.
One of them was a mysterious person of unknown origins, while the other was the subordinate of his hated father. He couldn’t wait for the two of them to fight.
Fan Peng, on the other hand, was frantically calling Yang Xi. It was unclear whether he wanted to inform him to come over to watch the show or to run away.
Fortunately, Yang Xi had the foresight to set his phone to silent mode. Otherwise, he might have exposed himself.
“Isn’t that the Grade-C Hero, Raging Flames? He’s the disciple of the Grade-A Hero, Mechanical Battle Hero. Who would have the guts to not give face to a Grade-A Hero?”
“Who knows? This masked man doesn’t look weak. What’s his mask? A chicken?”
“Look, there’s a drunkard sitting beside them! Can someone go and pull him away?”
“Why are they fighting? Are they fighting over women?”
Yang Xi tapped the glass cup rhythmically with his leather gloves. He was waiting for Lin Naixue and Fan Peng to go further away. Although he was confident about the upcoming battle, it was better to be safe than sorry.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Take off your funny mask and kneel before me to beg for mercy. Otherwise, you’ll have to taste my Flaming Fist.”
Raging Flames raised his arm and took off his coat, revealing his upper body that was only wearing a vest.
His body was very well built, and there were many wounds on his arms. One look and one could tell that he had experienced hundreds of battles and was not a benevolent person.
“I don’t understand. Why would a mere Grade-C dare to talk so much in front of me? If it was that old man, Mechanical Battle Hero, I would still give him some face.”
Yang Xi tried his best to maintain the image of a mysterious expert.
At the same time, he activated Super Brain and frantically calculated all the possible moves his opponent could make. He had to take this Grade-C Raging Flames fellow down cleanly in order to pave the way for his next plan.
“Hmph!” Yang Xi’s words had thoroughly enraged Raging Flames. Waving his arm, a Flaming Fist smashed towards Yang Xi.
“Judging from the color of the flames, it doesn’t seem to be as hot as Blazing Butterfly’s.”
Yang Xi used his peripheral vision to observe the Raging Flames’ attack.
In everyone’s eyes, Raging Flames had already attacked very aggressively. However, the masked man continued to play with the wine glass in his hand.
“Is this guy scared out of his wits? Raging Flames has burned many Mystic Beasts to death with his flames already! How can a human’s body be stronger than a Mystic Beast’s?”
“I don’t think this masked man is faking it. He must be an expert who doesn’t care about Raging Flames’ attack.”
Raging Flames also could not understand why Yang Xi was still sitting there. He had never heard of such a person in the Esper world. Even his boss, a Grade-A Esper, Mechanical Battle Hero, did not dare to use his body to receive his Flaming Fist.
Could it be a trap?
But no matter what kind of scheme it was, it would definitely not be easy to take a direct punch from him.
Raging Flames gritted his teeth and increased the speed of his punch, hoping to kill the enemy in one strike!
The blazing Flaming Fist quickly approached Yang Xi. He had already set up a Fire-resistant Shell on his West Chicken outfit. This Flaming Fist was only a Grade-C fire elemental attack, so it could be completely ignored.
Instead, he had to pay attention to the strength of the physical punches.
However, from the looks of it now, this Flaming Fist was only strong in terms of the fire elemental damage. In the eyes of ordinary people, his fist might be very powerful. But against Yang Xi, who had three times the defense of an ordinary person, the physical damage of this fist was still bearable.
Yang Xi wasn’t used to face slapping acts. Under Super Brain’s activation state, his dynamic vision and coordination abilities had also increased drastically. Although this increase hadn’t reached Grade-C, it was enough to deal with Raging Flames’ speed.
Yang Xi steadily raised his wine glass and turned his neck to avoid the Flaming Fist’s fist.
“Naive!”
Raging Flames smiled cruelly and ignited the flames.
The flames that were originally only attached to the surface of his fist instantly enveloped Yang Xi’s head.
How many Mystic Beasts and enemies had fallen to this move?
He was confident that even if this mysterious person wore a mask, he would still be severely injured.
But unexpectedly, Yang Xi actually stood up and walked out from the flames unscathed.
“What!!!” Raging Flames was shocked!
“Hur hur, it’s my turn now.”
A Fourth level Spirit Shock suddenly shot out and the enemy’s body froze. To conceal his attack, Yang Xi followed up immediately with a chop to the opponent’s neck using the blade of his hand.
“Bang!”
The fiery-red haired man fell to the ground. Yang Xi used his other hand to pick up the wine glass that had just fallen and poured the liquid onto his head.
When he sat down again, there were no more discussions in the bar. Only the intense music resounded in this hot and dry space.
“A Grade-C Hero fell in just one exchange?”
“Are Heroes so weak nowadays?”
“Isn’t it just that this mysterious person was too strong?”
“Let’s hurry up and leave. We won’t be able to get away if we got implicated in this matter.”
“Right, right, right! Let’s go!”
“F*ck, I just opened a bottle of Louis XIV and haven’t even drank much!”
“F*ck off, you loser. With just the likes of you, do you have the money to open such an expensive wine?”
After a few seconds of silence, the crowd broke out into a commotion again. Although many people were shouting to leave, not many people left.
Unlike the others, Liu Yuan knew how strong his father’s subordinates were. There were quite a number of Espers among his circle of friends. Sometimes, they would make a move when they were in a huff. However, none of them could withstand a single blow from Raging Flames.
But today, this mysterious masked man in front of him had instantly dealt with him.
Yang Xi ignored Liu Yuan, who had already sobered up from his shock. He placed his hand on Raging Flames and used Strip.
[Esper Ability: Flaming Fist
Introduction: Can generate flames on the fists to attack the enemy.
Evaluation: Grade-C. A must-have for a master chef.]
After putting away the Esper Ability Bead into his body, Yang Xi temporarily did not activate it.
He cast his gaze at Liu Yuan, who was pretending to be calm.
Liu Yuan swallowed a gulp of saliva nervously. “What deal did you want to make just now? You can tell me now. Do you want money? I have lots of money. I can transfer the money to you now if it’s below five million.”
Yang Xi slowly approached Liu Yuan.
“I wanted to discuss a deal with you just now, but I’ve changed my mind now. After all, you didn’t manage your subordinates well and caused me to make a move. Once I made a move, I won’t just make one move.”
He grabbed Liu Yuan’s collar.
Liu Yuan placed his hands on the sofa in an attempt to maintain his balance. “If you have something to say, say it nicely. Don’t get violent. We are all civilized people.”
Hearing this, Lin Naixue and the rest rolled their eyes. This Young Master Liu usually laid his hands on girls like them without any care for civility.
“To think that this day would come for you as well!” Many people who had been bullied by Liu Yuan secretly vented their anger in their hearts.
However, they knew that there was a high chance that the masked man would not use violence on Liu Yuan. After all, there was still room for negotiation if he only beat up Raging Flames alone. But if he were to hit Mechanical Battle Hero’s son, he would have thoroughly offended the other party.
No one in Deer Harbor City would want to provoke a Grade-A Hero right?
However, Yang Xi reached out with her leather gloves and slapped Liu Yuan hard on the face, causing him to fall to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
“You… you dare to hit me? Do you know who my father is?”
The crowd instantly fell silent again. The notorious Young Master Liu was actually being beaten up!
This time, there were already people who started slipping away silently. Seeing a young master like Liu Yuan being beaten up, there were quite a number of chances of them being used as a target to get even.
“I know. Your dad is Mechanical Battle Hero.” Yang Xi paused for a moment and said indifferently, “But so what?”
His words shocked Liu Yuan. This was the first time his father’s name didn’t work.
“Let’s continue then.”
Yang Xi walked over and slapped Liu Yuan’s face again.
“Pa, pa, pa…”
After slapping Liu Yuan an uncountable number of times, Yang Xi finally stopped when he felt his hand beginning to hurt.
As for Liu Yuan, he had already been slapped so hard that his face was as swollen as a pig’s.
“You… If you have the guts, kill me! My father will definitely not let you off!”
Yang Xi mainly did this to help Lin Naixue vent her anger. On the other hand, it was also to wear down this brat’s willpower.
In this way, this evil young master would become traumatized by the name West Chicken.
He stooped down and said softly in Liu Yuan’s ear, “After hitting you for so long, my anger from being offended has dissipated. Let’s get back to the topic.”
“Do you want to know what deal I wanted to discuss with you?”
Liu Yuan who now resembled a pig’s head gritted his teeth and grunted hatefully, “I will not deal with you even if I die!”
Yang Xi slowly said, “What if this deal involves a thing that you wish for even in your dreams?”
“Let me ask you, do you want to obtain an Esper Ability?”
Liu Yuan’s dim eyes instantly lit up!
