Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Shen Yun’s Ability

The top speed of the J-20 could reach Mach 2.8, which was faster than Xiao Jiu’s own flying speed. However, even with aerial refueling, maintaining supersonic flight to cross over to the other side of Earth would still take several hours.

He had already learned what was happening from Xiao Jiu. It had to be said that in the movies, the hero would almost always make it in time in situations like this. But this was reality. It was truly uncertain whether he would end up as some bald superhero or a stick figure.

"Xiao Jiu, calculate the probability of us making it in time," Shen Yun said.

"No more than ten percent..." Xiao Jiu quickly explained, as if afraid Shen Yun would get angry. "We can arrive in twelve minutes at most. But if that Annie gets serious, that young man won’t last a single minute. That ten percent probability even factors in Annie’s sadistic personality of enjoying playing with her prey."

Shen Yun remained silent, but he silently pushed the speed higher. It wasn’t that he absolutely had to save him. He just hated this feeling of being one step too late. He thought, "If only the fighter jet had already received Enlightenment—no, even if it were just enhanced, its speed could be a little faster..."

The moment this thought arose, Shen Yun suddenly felt a strange sensation. It seemed... As if to verify this feeling, he gathered his Spiritual Power in his palm. Looking at his vehicle, he slowly guided the Spiritual Power closer. A miraculous thing happened—his Spiritual Power entered the fighter jet without any resistance!

"What is going on?" Shen Yun cried out in surprise.

Not all objects could withstand Spiritual Power. Usually, it required special materials forged through unique processes to create a magical treasure! Yet now, he was gradually feeling a sense of oneness with the fighter jet. This was his Divine Thought Attribute!

Suppressing his excitement, Shen Yun trembled slightly as he sensed the fighter jet beneath him. It hadn’t developed sentience, but this feeling of fusion made the jet seem as if it possessed a life of its own. He could feel everything about the jet!

"Yes, there’s no mistake," Shen Yun muttered. He made no extra movements, yet the fighter jet’s speed continued to rise, rise, and rise again.

"Master..." Xiao Jiu called out in surprise.

"Xiao Jiu, I know what my Divine Thought Attribute is." Shen He took a deep breath. "It’s enhancement! My Spiritual Power can enhance objects that belong to me. No matter what falls into my hands, it will become an existence akin to a magical treasure!"

He had never noticed it before because he had never harbored the intention to enhance any object. But now, his desperate wish for the fighter jet to go faster had unearthed the Divine Thought Attribute inherent in his Spiritual Power. No, this should be called a conceptual rule.

"Master! Is this true?" Xiao Jiu became excited at once. "I knew Master was super amazing! I want it too. Xiao Jiu wants to feel Master’s power."

Strictly speaking, Xiao Jiu could also be considered an object, so she should be enhanceable as well. Shen Yun was somewhat tempted. Aside from the concept of enhancement, everything else was still very vague to him, but if he could enhance Xiao Jiu... He mobilized his Spiritual Power and channeled it into Xiao Jiu, who was pressed tightly against his chest.

"AH..." A long moan echoed in Shen Yun’s mind. Even without seeing her, he could imagine Xiao Jiu’s bashful appearance. "So this is Master’s power. Xiao Jiu... Xiao Jiu feels completely filled by this power. I still want more..."

"Speak properly!" Shen Yun’s face darkened with exasperation. Xiao Jiu’s voice was already incredibly pleasant, and when she acted coquettishly, just listening to her was unbearable.

"Oh..." Xiao Jiu replied, sounding extremely wronged. She felt she had been speaking perfectly fine just now.

"Are there any changes? Be specific," Shen Yun said, feeling his Spiritual Power draining rapidly into Xiao Jiu’s body. He quickly withdrew it. After all, he was someone who had skipped the first stage and jumped directly to the second. In terms of Spiritual Power, he was quite weak compared to an ordinary cultivator in the Divine Thought Stage. The remaining Spiritual Power had to be saved for accelerating the fighter jet.

"There are! A very big change." Speaking of the sensation she had just felt, Xiao Jiu couldn’t help but go soft again. "My performance has increased by twenty percent, and my Heavenly Dao Insights regarding the Thunder-Fire Series have also strengthened a bit. If I could get a larger amount... Xiao Jiu would definitely get addicted."

In truth, while that feeling was extremely comfortable, it was simply the normal sensation of being enhanced. But just the thought that it was her Master’s power made Xiao Jiu’s entire body go weak. She found it difficult to control her deep cravings.

"Why can I, someone at the Divine Thought Stage, enhance the Heavenly Dao Insights of your peak Golden Core?" Shen Yun, however, was more focused on his own attribute at the moment.

"I think it should be related to the Bodhi Branch," Xiao Jiu said in an adoring voice. "Regardless, Master is super amazing."

"Haha, true." Shen Yun thought for a moment and decided not to dwell on questions he couldn’t fundamentally understand. The key point was that this Divine Thought Attribute was incredibly exhilarating. The fighter jet’s speed had already exceeded Mach 3. It could be said to have surpassed the performance limits of a J-20, yet it was still accelerating, and it felt like it still had power to spare!

With such a degree of enhancement, if he held a pistol, would it instantly become a hand cannon? If he held a leaf, would it turn into a throwing knife? Not to mention, this was an absolutely perfect match with the sprites that had received Enlightenment! He was finally no longer just freeloading off of women!

As if sensing Shen Yun’s joy, the fighter jet’s speed increased once more, slicing through the sky above the clouds like a ghost.

Meanwhile, in the targeted city.

The Fire Sword Hero’s sword had already been knocked away. Looking as if he had just crawled out of a pool of blood, his clothes were torn, his entire body was bruised black and blue, and his face was swollen like a steamed bun. Even standing was extremely difficult for him. On the other hand, Annie had only used three of her nearly one hundred tentacles. Yes, she was purely toying with him.

"What’s wrong with you? How did you end up like this?" Annie’s arrogant voice rang out with absolute clarity under the moonlight. "How pathetic. I’m afraid even your mother wouldn’t recognize you anymore. Haha, hahaha! Why aren’t you still shouting that the hero will surely win? You poor little worm, you’re just too pathetic."

The reporters broadcasting live not far away were completely silent. The people sitting in front of their screens watching this scene were equally speechless. The gap in power was just too immense! Many had already closed their eyes, unable to bear watching such a despair-inducing scene any longer.

However, the Fire Sword Hero barely managed to form a faint smile with his swollen lips. It was because the girl had already run away. He knew it was impossible for him to win, and he harbored a tremendous terror toward death, but the blindness of love had conquered it all.

"Fire Sword Hero!"

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from a short distance away.

The Fire Sword Hero turned his head in disbelief. The girl, struggling to lug his knocked-away sword, had actually returned!
