You've used up my twenty-one darts—my remaining nine aren't going to be any pushovers. This time, I'm going to overturn the heavens! You want to become a god? So do I! Hanai has now pushed his energy accelerator to the absolute limit, spinning it at high speed. This energy accelerator is somewhat like a glowing energy dragon ball inside him, though they're still fundamentally different. Indeed, Hanai's face is now blazing red—having reached the peak of his energy accelerator's output, his body undergoes a transformation. His height soars dramatically, rising from his original 1.75 meters all the way up to 2 meters, leaving the twenty-one girls in sheer shock. "A giant! A giant! A magical transformation into a giant—what a spectacle! What a terror!" Haruko and the other girls all scream in unison. High-Ren remains calm, observing as Hanai's height continues to rise—first from 2 meters to 2.5 meters, then from 2.5 meters to 3 meters—knowing that Hanai is now fully committed. "Crash!"
Hanai launched a massive fist from the air, aiming it straight at Gao Liang's head, who was considerably shorter than him. Gao Liang moved with remarkable agility, nimbly dodging the blow, which then struck the hard concrete floor, creating a crater. As Hanai's fist passed by, his feet kicked out toward Gao Liang. "Ah!" Gao Liang was hit, and his entire body flew backward. He landed beside Mizuho, who and the other girls rushed to help him up. Yet Gao Liang insisted on standing on his own. Hanai was a cunning and ruthless opponent, determined to end Gao Liang immediately. With precise control, nine darts instantly adjusted their trajectories, forming three vertical attacks—each aimed directly at Gao Liang—targeting his forehead, his chest, and his legs—enough to seem deadly and intent on finishing him off. But Hanai was mistaken. Gao Liang had actually sustained no injuries at all; he had merely feigned falling, pretending to cry out in intense pain. Hahaha! Gao Liang, Gao Liang!
You're still here! Hanai's face turned fierce. Fujino, watching from the sidelines, was completely unaware! The twenty-one beautiful girls were all worried about this new teacher! Hanai's darts shot vertically, one after another, with a crisp, steady sound. Hanai thought his masterpiece was about to unfold—but it was unusual. As he stood proudly, he heard a sharp, piercing sound: tinkling, like a series of delicate chimes. What could it be? When he looked, wow! My goodness! When the nine darts were just one meter away from Gao Liang, they seemed to have struck an invisible iron wall, bounced off with tremendous force. Incredible! Absolutely incredible!
"Golden Vibration Shield?!" Hanai was stunned. "You've got the Golden Vibration Shield?!"
Gao Liang remained on the ground, pretending to be in pain, and said, "What golden vibration shield? I've never heard of it!"
With a loud, continuous cry of "Ooh! Ooh!", he then turned to the twenty-one beautiful girls beside him and called out, "Come over here! Help me up!"
"Twenty-one beautiful women surrounded Gao Liang, who was being supported by Mi-Hiko. Mi-Hiko thought Gao Liang had actually been injured and was deeply moved, saying, 'Be careful! He's so sharp! We should leave here quickly!' Han-I was furious—his face turned as pale as stone. Damn it! Since Gao Liang arrived in Tokyo, he's always been accompanied by a group of Japanese women! These women—these were the very ones he'd been pursuing for years. He even personally approached Mi-Hiko on one occasion at a talent show, only to be ignored completely, never receiving a single glance. How could she treat a complete stranger from China so kindly, even supporting him? Look at how close she's standing—her ample chest nearly pressing against Gao Liang's shoulders! The intimacy is simply unbearable. A top beauty from Tokyo University, surrounded by so many graceful, youthful women—while he, Han-I, has none at all! How unlucky can one get? No, he'll just have to let Gao Liang go first."
Again, Sakai used his dart control, launching several darts that now surged in nine different directions toward Gao Liang and the beautiful women beside him. This time, with the assistance of the energy accelerator, the darts were even more precise, powerful, and forceful.
Protecting the women while also sustaining his own energy was indeed a challenge for Gao Liang.
How could he possibly defend against darts coming from nine different directions? Honestly, Gao Liang didn't have a clear strategy. Yet, Gao Liang remained astonishingly composed—never flustered by danger, as if nothing were happening at all. He was calmly discussing a shared topic with the twenty-one beautiful women—network novels.
Miwako had recently taken a keen interest in network novels, especially in the series *I Want to Become a God* from the Zhonghuan Chinese Web Novel platform. As the darts were launched, she exclaimed, "I absolutely love the time-travel stories in *I Want to Become a God*. If given the chance, I'd love to time-travel through the dynasties!"
"Transcend! Yes! We love transcending too! But can the current highlight help us all transcend together?" All twenty-one beautiful women said in unison. High-light casually replied, "I can! I'm confident!"
"Yue Guang Treasure Box! Take me and the twenty-one beautiful women on our transcendence journey!" Unexpectedly, this simple sentence revealed a breathtaking scene.
Before everyone's eyes, the Yue Guang Treasure Box materialized. High-light hadn't opened the Yue Guang Treasure Box space in a long time—thanks to the women's gentle reminders, he opened it unintentionally.
"Beautiful ladies! Come in! Let's go together!" High-light stepped into the treasure box space first, followed by Mei-Hui, and then the other twenty women entered with remarkable speed.
The nine flying darts behaved strangely—when they were aimed at nine people, they suddenly lost control, drifting like loose kites.
"My darts! My darts!" Han-I saw the darts vanish miraculously and cried out in heartfelt distress.
Highlight and the twenty-one beauties stood within the space of the Yashiki Box, watching Hanai's frantic barking like a mad dog, and couldn't help but smile happily.
"Girls! Do you know why he's barking so loudly?" Highlight asked with a cheerful, carefree smile.
Upon closer inspection, the twenty-one beauties gasped—nine darts had neatly embedded themselves into Hanai's face, leaving him covered in blood, looking terribly injured. The giant figure he had been, just moments before, seemed to have collapsed like dust, shrinking down to just one meter tall.
"He's truly at fault," Highlight explained. "He relied too heavily on the energy accelerator, which has caused massive energy depletion for himself. While my energy is also affected, I can automatically restore it within five minutes—unlike him, who must pay a huge price by sacrificing his own energy. That's why the giant has turned into a dwarf!" With this explanation, the beauties all cheered and exclaimed in delight.
"Peek!" A gentle kiss from Meguri landed on Highlight's cheek, and his heart fluttered.
This kiss has been quite absent lately.
