Chapter 167: 156 sudden change to four

The heat wave swept through.

This was neither a Flower Language Ability nor a special equipment effect.

It was simply the innate damage from the Ultimate Form Titan Sunflower’s Floral Dress.

Merely putting it on would cause indiscriminate high-temperature damage over a range of more than ten meters.

This intense heat was also mixed with the purification effects of the Radiance Field, exuding a special aura akin to the sun itself.

Heat and high temperatures spread.

The air began to distort.

Products on the shelves started to exhibit charred edges.

Posters on the walls began to shrink and curl.

Whoosh!

The plastic wrapping of a packaged product combusted spontaneously, and bright yellow flames rapidly blossomed like flowers, igniting quickly all around the Silent Store.

To the left, to the right, in corners, behind.

Paper cartons of goods everywhere began to burn.

Li Chengyi stood still, enveloped in the center of the heat wave, a faint layer of yellow flame burning on the surface of his Armor.

His entire being was burning as well.

It took no more than two seconds from switching to the Floral Dress to having everything around him ignited.

The crocodile-headed humanoid, now devoid of Glint Flash control, also felt the rapidly rising temperature around him.

The scorching air and the purifying aura made him extremely irritable.

Bang!!!

He stomped on the ground again, cracking the floorboards, and charged towards Li Chengyi with a thunderous rush.

Three meters was covered in an instant.

The crocodile head extended its right hand, aiming a claw at Li Chengyi.

His hand did not have five fingers but three thick, sharp, black spikes forming a lethal claw.

The claw, with terrifying Giant Strength, smashed viciously against the raised tower-shield-shaped right hand of Li Chengyi.

Bang!!!

A circle of yellow flames was scattered by the force, spreading out as a ring of fire.

Li Chengyi’s body was knocked back repeatedly. The amplification of the Ultimate Form Floral Dress was strong, at least five times stronger than before.

But his own physique wasn’t enough, and even with this level of enhancement, he was still no match for the crocodile head.

But... what decided victory was never merely strength!

’Glint Flash!!!’

The diamond-shaped crystal on Li Chengyi’s forehead suddenly shone brightly.

The full capabilities of the Flower Language Technique, released from the original Floral Dress, completely burst forth in this instant.

A speck of golden light blossomed from his right shoulder.

Suddenly, the surroundings went quiet as if all sounds had utterly disappeared.

Only that speck of golden light illuminated the surrounding area, expanding swiftly.

And then...

Explosion!

Boom!!!

A golden flame instantly submerged everything in the little store’s space.

The crocodile head was the first to be engulfed.

Followed by the surrounding shelves, products, floor, lighting tubes, counters, and walls...

Everything, at that moment, was overwhelmed and devoured by the all-releasing golden firelight.

Li Chengyi included.

Pop pop pop pop!!

The glass windows and doors of the Silent Store were shattered one by one by the flames and shockwaves.

Debris scattered all over the place.

The golden flames burst out of the doors and windows, spewing several meters outward before they slowly dimmed, turned into sparks, and faded away.

Everything went quiet.

Thick smoke rolled inside the small store, fire burning everywhere.

The refrigerator was overturned, shelves were scorched, and the combustion of flammable materials further increased the temperature inside the store.

The strange presences that were originally hidden among the product shelves were also indiscriminately burned to black smoke, dissipating into nothingness.

Amidst the thick smoke and flames, a figure clad in golden Armor and covered in fire, slowly walked out.

The diamond-shaped crystal between his eyebrows was gradually losing the bright golden light that had just been released by Glint Flash.

"That’s why I didn’t want to use this Armor..."

Li Chengyi sighed.

Just donning the Ultimate Form Floral Dress naturally caused indiscriminate destruction around him.

And he had been well aware of the situation here; damaging the Silent Store and killing the monsters hidden in the corners might have allowed him to survive this Blind Spot. But the next time, the difficulty would definitely increase significantly.

This was also why he had been so reluctant to use the Ultimate Form casually.

The Silent Store was connected to another mysterious shop, and no one knew exactly how many monsters were hiding within.

Unfortunately... in the end, he still had no choice.

He walked to a pile of fire between two collapsed shelves.

With a muffled rustle, the burning shelf on the ground was overturned by a black arm.

The crocodile head slowly propped himself up from the ground, shaking his somewhat dizzy head.

He was noticeably smaller than before.

The recent explosion had clearly caused him considerable damage.

Seeing Li Chengyi just in front of him, the crocodile head opened its mouth for a silent roar and clawed viciously towards Li Chengyi’s head.

’Glint Flash.’

Boom!!!

Golden flames exploded once more, sweeping through the entire small store.

Dazzling golden sparks burst from the shattered doors and windows of the Silent Store, scattering like fine golden sand against the dark night sky, fading and dispersing with ethereal beauty.

Moments later.

The firelight before Li Chengyi’s eyes faded and disappeared.

The scenery belonging to the Silent Store began to distort and blur.

His mind stirred, and he quickly removed the Floral Dress from his body.

In the blink of an eye, he exited the Blind Spot.

He had returned to the bedroom of his home.

He stood in front of the desk, facing the window, observing the neighbors’ lights twinkling in the building across.

The pain in his left hand surged back up at this moment.

In the end, that crocodile-headed creature didn’t die; it just shrank down a size. Its resilience was the strongest of any blind spot monster he had encountered.

But he made it out anyway.

It was time to go shopping.

But although he had come out, the goods he intended to buy were no longer there, burned to ashes.

Many monsters in the nooks and crannies were collateral damage, indiscriminately cleansed and destroyed.

How much the difficulty would increase next time was beyond Li Chengyi’s own estimation.

He had once tried the Icebreaking Method on Silent Store before.

But the outer layer of its walls was extremely tough; no matter what he did, he couldn’t smash or break through it.

Otherwise, he would have thoroughly broken through this time.

He exhaled and gently gripped his left hand, moving it slightly.

The pain instantly intensified.

It was broken.

Initially, he was ambushed by that crocodile head, whose strength far exceeded his. Even wearing the Floral Dress, his forearm was forcefully broken.

This was a first.

"Looks like I need to go to the hospital."

Li Chengyi took out his phone and quickly contacted Da Xiong.

Luckily, her family ran a hospital. Otherwise, it would have been hard to explain such an inexplicable injury to his family.

As long as the bone was set properly, then accelerated healing with the Radiance Field would do the trick.

After the phone call went through,

soon, and in less than twenty minutes, the phone rang again.

Li Chengyi quickly went downstairs, got into a commercial van, and headed straight for Da Xiong’s family hospital.

Although he had the Flower Language Ability of the Radiance Field to speed up healing, a broken bone was not a minor injury.

If the bone wasn’t set correctly, accelerated healing could cause new problems, such as deformity.

Half an hour later,

inside a small private hospital room in Suiyang City,

Li Chengyi had one hand wrapped in bandages, with a splint fixed and hanging around his neck, while he slowly sipped fruit tea with the other hand.

Rainbow Candy, Da Xiong, Dragon Gate Crane, and others from the Garden of Fate had all arrived.

Each of them looked at his left arm hanging around his neck, unsure of what had happened.

They were unaware that Li Chengyi had been using Silent Store to farm the Flower’s essence from Feilian.

Everyone thought that Li Chengyi had long since finished with Silent Store.

Therefore, they did not quite understand his injury.

"Brother Cheng went back in?" Dragon Gate Crane blinked and asked.

"The signal was lost for a while, definitely went back in. The main question is, where did he go?" Rainbow Candy frowned.

"Arm’s broken, feels like it’s over," Dragon Gate Crane said gravely.

"The hell, can’t you speak properly?!" Rainbow Candy smacked him on the forehead.

"No, I mean, we all feel like we’re done for..." Dragon Gate Crane said, holding his head, a bit helpless. "That time of the month is almost upon me."

"...Me too," Da Xiong chimed in.

"Same here," Da Hei added.

"What do we do now?" Rainbow Candy turned to Li Chengyi. "Brother Cheng, should we switch?"

"...I just have a tiny fracture..." Li Chengyi said speechlessly, "it’s not to the point of switching hands..."

"So, what do we do now? The three of us here are about to go through it."

At such a critical time, the sudden turn of events clearly led everyone to doubt whether Li Chengyi would still be able to help with the Flash Appearance and the investigation of the clues.

"It’s fine, don’t we still have the exoskeleton? Don’t worry," Li Chengyi said with a smile. After setting the bone properly, he clearly felt his left arm rapidly healing under the influence of the Radiance Field.

"That’s true..." Da Xiong nodded, "It’s just an arm, it won’t affect much. Everyone, don’t worry."

"Did you really think I was going to enter the blind spot to go head-to-head with the monsters?" Li Chengyi put down his fruit tea with a laugh. "Even if my hand was fine, I wouldn’t do such a thing, right?"

"That’s logical." Dragon Gate Crane nodded. "Well, since Brother Cheng is fine, let’s disband. Everyone go back and continue the preparatory work."

"Rest assured, I’ve got this. I’ve already had the hospital hook me up with the best nutrition solution to promote healing and absorption. At most, it’ll take half a month to heal," Da Xiong said with a gentle smile.

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Brother Cheng is fine," Dragon Gate Crane turned around and darted out the door in a few quick strides.

This guy had come in reeking of perfume, clearly up to no good at such a late hour.

Seeing that Li Chengyi was indeed fine, the others felt relieved and started to say their goodbyes, preparing to leave.

After flying all the way here in the middle of the night, they had to get back to catching up on sleep.

"By the way, Tang Tang, wait a sec," Li Chengyi called out.

"What’s up?" Rainbow Candy turned back.

"That adaptive Life Garment you used last time, can I borrow it?" Li Chengyi had learned from previous casual conversations with her that Rainbow Candy had used the Life Garment to buy time and survive, so he was well aware of its effectiveness.

"You can borrow it, but..." Rainbow Candy immediately felt a bit awkward, "it’s... designed for a woman, and the custom-fit shape may not be quite right. Even though it’s made from stretchy material, it might affect the stealth feature."

"What’s not right about it? Aren’t your physiques quite similar?" Da Xiong piped up.

"..." Rainbow Candy glared at her, immediately falling silent.

"..." Li Chengyi also didn’t know how to broach the subject.

"Uh... sorry..." Da Xiong looked a bit embarrassed, "Sister Tang, we just got in a new batch of Perfect Shape Solution that enlarges breasts, I had prepared it especially for you..."

"Ah!!" Rainbow Candy grabbed her face and began pinching and pulling at it chaotically.

Li Chengyi watched from the side as Da Xiong begged for mercy and the two of them horsed around, a smile creeping onto his lips involuntarily.

But his mind was already considering the risks of entering the Silent Store next time.

The difficulty had increased too much this time.

The strength of that crocodile-headed monster was unknown degrees stronger than the previous ones.

So next time, he had to get away completely.

’I can’t continue stocking up anymore; fortunately, I’m just one Flower Language Technique use away from completing the collection for Feilian.’

He wanted to borrow Rainbow Candy’s Life Garment to sneak in quietly during the Flash Appearance, take what he needed, and flee.

As long as he was quick, he would be safe.

He planned to Flash Appearance into the Silent Store once before he was forcibly pulled in next time, to complete the Feilian collection in advance.

That would prepare him for the increased difficulty next time!

Otherwise, he had already struggled this time; the next time could be even more troublesome. Just thinking about that golden vertical pupil...

Now the power boost from the Floral Dress was very strong, but his base physical fitness was improving too slowly.
