Chapter 47: Armament Haki Upgrade
The canister body cracked with a crack, and purple liquid sprayed out, wrapped in debris.
The moment the Dyna Stone collided with the air, a blinding purple light exploded.
Like a purple meteor being ignited, the core light mass twisted and expanded.
Silver-white electric arcs danced around the edge, zzzt-zzzt, tearing through the air and instantly vaporizing the surrounding mist into scalding steam.
The next second.
A ring-shaped shockwave swept horizontally across the ground. Half a foot of soil was scraped away raw, exposing the pitch-black rock layer underneath.
Trees as thick as three people hugging were snapped at the waist, their stumps smoking.
Nearby gray wolf corpses were blown dozens of meters away by the airwave, their fur curling and carbonizing in the high heat, landing as nothing more than charred piles.
BOOM!!!
A massive explosion resonated through the Misty Forest.
Three kilometers away, Ling Yue and the other two were startled into stopping by the purple mushroom cloud suddenly rising on the horizon.
The glow stone in Li Mufeng's hand fell to the ground with a clack. Jiang Qingye subconsciously pressed his hand to the sword at his waist.
"That direction…" Ling Yue's heart clenched violently. That was Chen Yu's direction.
Looking at the rolling cloud mass, her fingertips went cold.
The unease she had suppressed earlier grew wildly, and even her breathing trembled.
"Go to the tower first. This training is very wrong!"
Ling Yue forced down the urge to turn back. But just as she took two steps, the jungle depths behind her suddenly creaked.
A vine half a meter thick whipped out from within, heading straight for her back!
In the monitoring command room, Zhao Lie's composure completely vanished.
On the screen, the coordinates representing the explosion area flashed with blinding red light.
But the signals of the five surrounding Transponder Snails were dead, showing only static.
They had no idea what had happened.
"Reinforcement squad, go see what happened immediately! Target coordinates X73Y29!"
He grabbed the walkie-talkie, his voice tight.
"Also, the squad sent to the defense line earlier? Any news?"
The technical soldier replied, sweating profusely, "Vice General Zhao, there's strong radio interference! And… the energy reaction from the explosion just now was ten times stronger than a Third Order beast!"
Zhao Lie's fist slammed onto the table, knocking over his tea cup. Brown liquid spread over the "Outpost Tower" marker on the map.
Staring at the flashing dots on the map, his face turned iron-blue. "Notify the whole army. Enter Level 1 Alert status."
Inside the dust of the explosion center, Chen Yu knelt on one knee, the sleeve of his left arm blown to pieces.
At this moment, his entire body surface was covered in black Armament Haki.
Just as the Dyna Stone exploded, he had flung Divine Departure at the stone.
This caused the explosion point to shift slightly toward Chen Chen.
Then, he frantically channeled Armament Haki to wrap as much of himself as possible.
But the power of the explosion was enough to crack Haki. Chen Yu could only grit his teeth and endure.
Within a breath, intense pain eroded and spread. Chen Yu constantly repeated the process of his Haki being blown apart and recondensing.
From a certain moment, the Haki in his body suddenly boiled.
The black Armament color condensed like armor, the surface smooth as a mirror. His skin instantly became as hard as iron, and the shockwaves hitting it left only faint marks.
[Armament Haki: Lv 1 → 2/5]
[ Armament Haki: Lv 2]
[Proficiency (0/100)]
(Current Effect: Full body coverage, hardness significantly increased, defense significantly increased. Next Level Unlock: Armament Haki Emission/Flow.)
The dust was still slowly settling.
Silver-white arcs remaining on the scorched earth jumped zzzt occasionally, scalding the air until it trembled.
Chen Yu propped himself up.
The Lv 2 Armament Haki, newly broken through, still flowed over his body surface.
The faint marks on the mirror finish hadn't fully faded.
He immediately turned to look at the side of the explosion point—where Chen Chen had been before he deliberately shifted the explosion.
His gaze swept over the mess of broken wood and charred earth, quickly finding that familiar figure at the edge of a half-meter-deep crater.
Chen Chen lay on the ground.
The clothes on his back had long been torn to rags by the shockwave.
The exposed skin was covered in abrasions of varying depths, with several deeper cuts still oozing blood.
His right arm was twisted at a bizarre angle; clearly, the bone was broken.
His chest heaved slightly. Every breath was accompanied by weak coughing of blood. Pale red bloody foam stuck to the dirt on his chin, looking particularly jarring.
"Pfft!" Chen Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Chen Yu with terrified eyes.
"You… didn't die…"
"Is a Dyna Stone something you can play with?" Chen Yu walked step by step toward Chen Chen.
"Lucky the yield was low, or we really would have ended here."
The tip of Ace pressed against his throat, his eyes cold.
"Chen Chen, say goodbye to this world."
Chen Chen looked at the sword tip inches away, fear written all over his face. His voice trembled, "Chen Yu, you can't kill me!"
"I'm from the Chen family! If you kill me, the Chen family won't let you go!"
"The Chen family?" Chen Yu sneered. "That will be my Chen family."
"The Association values me! You can't kill me!"
Chen Chen was crying snot bubbles now. His crotch was wet again, the smell made even stronger by the heat of the scorched earth, but his mouth remained tough.
"Don't worry. The talent they value? I'm confident I have that too."
With that, he raised Ace, about to slash down at Chen Chen's throat.
But just then, a bone-chilling cold air suddenly spread rapidly from behind.
Wherever it passed, even the air froze into ice within a breath.
Alarm bells rang in Chen Yu's heart, and he spun around abruptly.
But it was too late. Chen Yu's body began to be invaded by the cold. A layer of ice gradually covered him, making his movements sluggish.
The speed of the spreading cold showed no sign of slowing.
The cold air wrapped ice shards and drilled into Chen Chen's wounds. His already twisted right arm suddenly gave a crisp crack.
The ice layer spread madly along the fracture. The next second, the entire section of his right arm, encased in an ice shell, fell with a thud onto the scorched earth.
Blood had just surged to the edge of the wound before instantly freezing into dark red ice crystals.
"AHHH!!!" Chen Chen convulsed in pain, his eyes terrified.
Ignoring his severed arm, his body instantly turned into a puddle of black-brown mud, drilling underground through the cracks in the scorched earth.
Within two breaths, the mud disappeared into the soil layer, leaving only a wet trail that rapidly froze into frost amidst the ice shards.
"Trying to run?" Chen Yu's eyes sharpened. The ice layer on his body exploded with a bang!
Invisible Conqueror's Haki surged from his body like a tide, sending crushed stones and ice chips flying.
The surrounding frozen air instantly thawed, and even the silver electric arcs remaining on the ground were scattered, trembling in chaos.
"Blazing Dragon Breath!"
Chen Yu opened his mouth. Terrifying heat erupted, condensing into a scorching pillar of fire.
The escaping fire snakes burned everything along the path to ash.
The scorched earth, already scraped down a layer, received fresh wounds.
The intense high heat seared the swamp-elementalized Chen Chen underground until he cracked, his life aura gradually dissipating.
When the firelight faded, the cold air spread over again.
Chen Yu shook his wrist, which was still a bit stiff. The residual cold on his fingertips made his skin tingle. His frown deepened.
This cold air… was wrong.
This piercing low temperature was almost identical to the cold aura Ling Yue leaked when she occasionally lost control.
Ling Yue had been quite stable recently, even able to use two abilities at once.
But now, for such strong cold air to spread, she had likely fallen into a danger far exceeding expectations.
Chen Yu looked down at the humanoid jerky corpse of his otouto.
After confirming the life aura was extinguished, he didn't think too much.
He looked up in the direction Ling Yue had gone toward the tower, his fingers gripping the sword hilt, tightening slightly.
Ling Yue was in danger. Chen Yu delayed no longer and turned to leave the area.
After his figure disappeared, a wooden puppet suddenly crawled out of Chen Chen's "corpse."
Chen Chen's corpse miraculously recovered from the jerky state to its original appearance; only the severed arm could not be restored.
Then, the Seven Star Sword beneath him glowed with bright green light, and Chen Chen abruptly opened his scarlet eyes.

Zhang Li looked up at the servant who had suddenly been burned into a dry husk, the corner of her mouth curling into a cold sneer.
"Master, what a pity," the old woman said. "That was a Substitute Doll that Lord Rose begged from the Magician for."
"Using it on Chen Chen is truly a waste."
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."
"As long as the Dyna Stone kills Chen Yu, everything is worth it."
"Is the assassin arranged?" Zhang Li asked.
"Arranged, Master," the old woman said respectfully. "This old one does not understand. Since we already bewitched Chen Chen…"
"Always have multiple layers of insurance when doing things. It's never wrong."
Zhang Li took out a pocket watch, her thumb gently caressing it, revealing a faint
