Chapter 94: Berserk Mode!
Chapter 94: Berserk Mode!
Although Tang Chen’s body had taken the second drop of Enhancement Potion, making it incredibly strong, Mo Chunqiu was on another level of freakishness. Despite Tang Chen’s formidable physique, Mo Chunqiu beat him until he was coughing up blood.
“Cough, cough!” Tang Chen pushed himself up with both hands, standing with a pained expression. His body was severely injured, and some internal organs were damaged.
“Kid, just give up. You’re no match for me!” Mo Chunqiu, like all the arrogant big bosses in shonen manga, spouted the most cocky lines, not even considering Tang Chen a worthy opponent.
“Old man, did your mother ever tell you not to be so damn arrogant when you’re out!” Tang Chen was stubborn by nature—if you were strong, he would be even stronger!
Bang!
Tang Chen threw a surprise punch directly into Mo Chunqiu’s abdomen, then locked his legs around Mo Chunqiu’s, preparing to use a sweeping kick to take him down.
“Overestimating yourself!” Mo Chunqiu snorted coldly, not moving an inch, and forcefully kicked Tang Chen’s ankle, followed by another kick to Tang Chen’s chest. Tang Chen felt a dull, heavy pain in his chest, as if his heart was about to explode.
“Respected Host, please give up. You really aren’t this guy’s opponent!” The System spoke up, unable to bear it any longer. Even though this host was a bit of a jerk with his sharp tongue, he was still its host, and it didn’t want to see anything truly bad happen to him!
“Shut the hell up!” Tang Chen roared, suddenly lunging forward again. He was going all out, relying on his improved ability to withstand blows—as long as you couldn’t kill him, he was going to keep fighting!
Tang Chen’s speed didn’t slow down as he charged; he aimed a kick at Mo Chunqiu’s face, then immediately followed up with a reverse punch.
Mo Chunqiu didn’t waste any more words. He simply grabbed Tang Chen’s leg with one hand, punched him in the face and abdomen, and then slammed him hard into the ground.
Bang!
Dust flew as Tang Chen’s body made intimate contact with the ground once more.
“Today, you must die!” Mo Chunqiu’s killing intent was fully ignited. After slamming Tang Chen into the ground, he lifted him up again, then gripped his neck with one hand. Mo Chunqiu took a deep breath, and his body slowly swelled up like a balloon.
“Tang Chen, I’m sorry. For someone like you, Young Master said if we can’t use you, we must eliminate you!” The move Mo Chunqiu was using now was clearly his ultimate technique—he channeled all the internal energy he had cultivated over the years into his body, causing it to inflate.
Sounds pretty fantastical, right? But as an Ancient Martial Artist who had trained since childhood, Mo Chunqiu could easily do this.
Mo Chunqiu tightened his grip, and Tang Chen’s face turned purple.
At this critical moment, with his life about to end, Tang Chen realized he felt no fear at all. His expression was blank, devoid of desire or attachment.
It was enough. He had lived a thrilling life, rising from a nobody to become the remarkable Tang Chen, and he had found someone he wanted to protect for a lifetime. What else in this world was there for him to hold onto?
If there was anything, it would be Yang Mi.
“Yang Mi, I’m sorry, I still couldn’t save you!” Tang Chen murmured to himself in his heart, and for the first time ever, tears streamed from his eyes.
Looking at Yang Mi’s still sleeping, exquisitely beautiful face, his heart ached with both pain and reluctance.
Goodbye, Yang Mi. Goodbye, everything I hold dear!
“Ding! The host has lost the will to live. Life points are about to completely disappear.”
“Ding! The host’s life is under the most severe threat. The System will take control of the host’s body.”
“Ding! The System has successfully taken control of the host’s body. The host has initiated an autonomous mission to escape danger. If the mission succeeds, the host survives. If it fails, the System will detach from the host’s body, and the host’s body will explode!”
Three consecutive System prompts echoed in Tang Chen’s mind. Taking control of his body again? Like last time when dealing with Yu Tianyi?
As he thought this, something seemed to invade Tang Chen’s mind, and then he uncontrollably closed his eyes. The System had already taken over his body.
Completely unaware of this, Mo Chunqiu was about to unleash his ultimate move. He slowly opened his mouth, the wind howling, and then his already swollen fist slammed down toward Tang Chen’s chest.
At the brink of life and death, Tang Chen’s eyes suddenly snapped open, a yellow light flashing within them. He coldly twitched the corner of his mouth and then shouted, “Berserk Mode, activate!”
Boom!
As Tang Chen’s roar faded, veins bulged on his forehead. Now under the System’s control, he had no idea what state his body was in. A violent aura erupted around him, and he threw a punch that collided heavily with Mo Chunqiu’s fist.
It was an indescribably loud explosion. The very ground seemed to tremble, and the school building threatened to collapse. Mo Chunqiu, struck by Tang Chen’s punch, stared wide-eyed, his face flushed red, and then his balloon-like swollen body burst open.
To put it simply, it was like poking a needle into a fully inflated balloon.
Mo Chunqiu’s clothes tore apart, his plump body instantly shriveling. Another sound followed as all his internal organs exploded, splattering blood everywhere. The scene was just… wow.
The pitiful, boastful Mo Chunqiu was directly killed by Tang Chen, who had entered Berserk Mode. This also teaches us a lesson: no matter how awesome a villain seems, they all end up the same way—dead.
“Ugh!” Tang Chen’s body also crashed heavily to the ground, gasping for breath. Just now, the System had used his body to activate Berserk Mode. As soon as the System released control, all his strength drained away, and he could no longer support himself.
“Cough, cough, System, it seems like this time you controlled Young Master’s body much better than last time.” Tang Chen felt a lingering fear. He had fought desperately this time; if the System hadn’t taken over again, it probably wouldn’t have been Mo Chunqiu who died today, but him.
System: “Respected Host, last time we only used martial arts techniques. This time, Berserk Mode was activated, so the damage to your body is greater.”
The System was also helpless. If the host hadn’t stubbornly insisted on continuing, it wouldn’t have activated Berserk Mode. After all, Berserk Mode causes significant trauma to the host’s body and requires a long rest to recover.
“Berserk Mode? What is that? Never mind, I won’t ask. Surviving is enough.” Tang Chen knew the System was mysterious and powerful, with many things he didn’t understand. Even if he asked, the System might not tell him.
“Yang Mi!” After recovering for about a minute, Tang Chen called out, ran to Yang Mi, untied her ropes, and then shook her body, his face full of worry.
Although that jerk Mo Chunqiu had only made Yang Mi fall asleep, who knew if he was lying? What if he had done something to harm Yang Mi…
“Ah? Tang Chen, why are you here? Where is this?” Luckily, it seemed Mo Chunqiu really hadn’t harmed Yang Mi. Shaken by Tang Chen, she woke up immediately, though she looked confused at her surroundings.
“Great, you’re okay. That’s all that matters.” Overjoyed, Tang Chen hugged Yang Mi tightly. He had thought they were saying their final goodbyes, but they had survived. It was just too wonderful.
“Tang Chen, why is there blood on you? Are you hurt? What happened?” Yang Mi also held Tang Chen tightly. Seeing him covered in blood, she asked anxiously.
Tang Chen shed tears but didn’t explain much. He looked at her and smiled, “It’s not important. As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.”
“Tang Chen!” Yang Mi also cried. She could see that Tang Chen truly cared deeply for her. Girls are easily moved, especially when they see the man they love crying in front of them.
“It’s okay now. Let’s get out of here first.” Tang Chen helped Yang Mi up. When he tried to carry her, his vision blurred, and he collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.
“Tang Chen, Tang Chen, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me, please don’t scare me!” Yang Mi screamed, terrified by Tang Chen’s sudden collapse.
“Sister-in-law, Young Master Tang, what happened to Young Master Tang!” Just then, two male voices called out as Fang Wenxin and Yu Tianyi ran over from a distance.
It turned out these two had been watching from afar. Although Young Master Tang told them not to come, they were still worried. After discussing it, they decided to check things out. If Young Master Tang was really in danger, they would step in to help.
They had just arrived when they heard the huge explosion. Running over, they saw Yang Mi holding Tang Chen, who appeared to be unconscious.
“I don’t know! Tang Chen just suddenly fainted. What do we do, what do we do?” Being a girl, Yang Mi panicked as soon as something went wrong.
“Quick, let’s get Young Master Tang to the hospital!” Fang Wenxin said calmly, then lifted Tang Chen onto his back. Yu Tianyi supported Yang Mi, and they hurried to the hospital.
