Chapter 294: The Seal on Wu Yue’s Abilities Weakens Further

Chapter 294 The Seal on Wu Yue’s Powers Is Fading

Shen Que felt like his mind had blown up along with the detector. He was just about to dive in when he suddenly noticed that the recently thawed surface had frozen over completely.

He looked up in shock and saw Wu Yue, encased in ice, slowly emerging from the depths.

In her hand was the Frostmoon Icicle, and the massive canopy of the Mutant Jellyfish that housed its mental core had been impaled clean through, now dragged behind her.

From the moment Wu Yue entered the water to the end of the battle, the whole thing took less than five minutes.

In the end,

it ended in Wu Yue's total victory.

Shen Que immediately realized that Wu Yue had gotten even stronger.

The seal on her abilities was weakening further.

Wu Yue raised her head to look at Shen Que. The red still hadn't left her eyes, and even he could feel the crushing pressure from that gaze.

Aurora had never witnessed such terrifying mental energy before—so powerful that it was on the verge of materialization.

They stared at Wu Yue in shock, and as she approached, they couldn't help but gulp nervously.

Mo Ke wore a cautious expression. "Miss Wu Yue, are you alright?"

Wu Yue nodded slowly. "I'm fine."

"Mo Ke, I need to take this jellyfish back to the Alliance Academy of Sciences for research."

Mo Ke replied, "No problem. You took this thing down alone, after all."

Wu Yue shook her head. "No. Aurora led this hunting operation, and you completed the first round of exploration.

This was an SS-rank Mutant Jellyfish, but its mental assault strength could surpass its rank, reaching SSS-level. If its physical form had been stronger, working in tandem with its psychic abilities, it would have completely overwhelm this entire ice river zone.

This thing didn't just show up. Something must have triggered its evolution. We need to find the source."

A stabbing pain shot through Wu Yue's head, making it difficult for her to continue thinking.

As the crimson in her eyes faded, she felt the raging, barely-contained power inside her gradually subside.

She let out a slow breath. "Hah..."

Shen Que immediately stepped forward. "How are you feeling now?"

Wu Yue replied, "I'll manage."

Shen Que insisted, "You should still rest in the med pod for a while."

Wu Yue said, "I brought one in my camper," she added.

Without warning, Shen Que picked her up and placed her on his motorcycle. "Let's go."

Aurora could only stare as Wu Yue and Shen Que left just like that.

Claude stood there gaping. "They... they... Thor actually..." carried off Miss Wu Yue?!

Compared to this matter, what surprised Mo Ke even more was,

"Claude, Wu Yue said this is an SS-rank Mutant Jellyfish capable of unleashing an SSS-level psychic blast above its rank.

But the detector Wu Yue gave us could withstand an SSS+-level psychic blast, yet it exploded just now.

So, who emitted a psychic blast stronger than SSS+ and destroyed the detector?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The same thought occurred to them all:

It was Wu Yue.

Wu Yue had unleashed a psychic blast even stronger than SSS+!!

Moreover,

Mo Ke felt a chill run down his spine—

When Wu Yue walked out earlier, her eyes emitted that unnerving red glow. Was the immense power she unleashed truly just mental energy?

No... Mo Ke believed he shouldn’t speculate like this at such a moment.

Mo Ke composed himself and looked at the group, "Miss Wu Yue might be carrying weapons unknown to us. Judging from the equipment she’s previously provided, the Alliance’s technology has long surpassed our understanding.

The detector itself is made of high-grade meteorite material, and many other electromagnetic forces could damage it.

Let’s pack up and return to camp first. Once Miss Wu Yue recovers, we’ll make our next move."

"Roger that!"

....

Shen Que, "Does your head still hurt?"

Wu Yue, "Better now. Just feeling physically exhausted."

When the power levels within her body suddenly surged to a terrifying degree, her body was the first to sound the alarm.

Wu Yue handed her RV’s key to Shen Que,

"The treatment pod was specially prepared for me by Sister Yu Hua. It’s usable."

Shen Que, "Mhm, rest well."

Wu Yue entered the treatment pod. When she finally opened her eyes again, six hours had passed.

The pod door opened, and Shen Que was waiting right there.

Wu Yue suddenly smiled. Shen Que leaned closer, "What are you smiling about?"

Wu Yue, "Seems like this scene has repeated itself many times over a long period."

Shen Que sighed, "Yes, because you always get yourself seriously hurt. It scares me."

Shen Que remembered all too clearly—

The first time he sent Wu Yue into the treatment pod, her mental energy was completely exhausted, her face gray as death.

The second time he sent her in, she was bleeding profusely, like her insides were coming out. Wu Yue, "Shen Que."

Shen Que, "Hm?"

Wu Yue, "I'm hungry."

Shen Que stood up and walked to the RV's stove, "What would you like to eat?"

Wu Yue got up from the treatment pod and walked to the stove, "I'll eat whatever you make."

Shen Que turned to look at her, "How about some noodles?"

Outside, the world was icy and snowy. A bowl of noodles would warm them from the inside out.

Wu Yue nodded, "Mhm."

Shen Que checked the fridge in Wu Yue's RV and decided to make the same tomato and egg noodles they had when they were trapped in the disaster map, adding a handful of greens.

Shen Que put on an apron. Focused, he lit the flame, heated the pan, poured in oil, and fried the eggs. Once cooked, he added the tomatoes and stir-fried them.

He added a pinch of salt, stir-fried until the tomatoes softened and released their juices, then poured in water and waited for it to boil.

Shen Que turned around, "Food's almost ready."

Wu Yue glanced at Shen Que in his apron, then suddenly held out her arms to him.

Shen Que naturally took off the apron and pulled her into a tight hug.

Shen Que, "Wu Yue."

Wu Yue, "Mhm."

Shen Que, "I like you."

Wu Yue, "Mhm."

Shen Que, "Not out of gratitude, nor because I take care of my teammates.

I just like you. I like you, Wu Yue.

In this life, you’re the only one for me."

Wu Yue suddenly laughed, "This lifetime is still long. You’ll meet many amazing people in the future.

You can still fall for someone else."

Shen Que shook his head, "No, I won’t."

Wu Yue didn’t believe him, "Liar."

Men’s sweet words are as deceitful as a fox spirit’s tricks.

Shen Que snapped, "I’m not lying to you."

Wu Yue, "You’ve lied to me over and over.

You lied starting from the lower-world dungeons, kept up the lies in the fox spirit dungeon, even..."

Shen Que interrupted Wu Yue, frustrated, he tried to kiss her, "Stop talking. Why do you keep bringing this up?"

Wu Yue pushed him away, "Are you getting sick of me now?"

Shen Que, "No."

Wuyue, "That's more like it."

Shen Que, "Not now, actually, I've always thought you talk a lot.

Ever since you started raising chickens outside my dorm room, I thought you were really off the charts.

Who would do something like raise chickens specifically at someone else's door?"

Wuyue, "...I wasn't raising them just outside your door, it was an emergency at the time!"

Shen Que, "Then why didn't you raise them in your own room? Didn't you also think they smelled bad?"

Wuyue, "Shen Que, that was so long ago, how can you still remember?

Are you bringing up old grievances now?"

Wuyue's eyes grew increasingly dangerous,

Shen Que, "It was you who started..."

Wuyue punched him directly, "You can shut up now!

Go cook your noodles! The water's boiling!"
