Wasteland's Only King - Chapter 198 - 9: Is 1% Still Called Limit Breaking? Then Wouldn’t Mine Break the Heavens? (2)

Chapter 198: Chapter 9: Is 1% Still Called Limit Breaking? Then Wouldn’t Mine Break the Heavens? (2)

Unlike March, using Limit Breaking requires a whole dramatic pose.

Athena’s Limit Breaking, though, is divine and effortless.

The Light Wings behind her gave a gentle flap.

Every time her wings moved, her aura soared even higher.

In just the blink of an eye—

Athena’s Value also broke through Mars OL’s cap of 290,000, reaching 390,000.

Buzz——!

Above Athena’s head, a dazzling golden longsword began to materialize.

Divine!

Yu Jin was absolutely sure at this moment: this Federal Speaker’s heiress definitely had ’Divine’ as one of her Attributes, pure to the core.

Buzz——!

The next second—

Athena’s figure blinked and appeared right in front of Yu Jin.

Her hands, at some point, were already gripping the Holy Light Saber.

Yu Jin looked at the curvy girl’s back in front of him, lost in thought.

So I’m…

…being protected by someone?

Thinking about this, Yu Jin shifted to the side a bit, peeking past Athena’s shoulder toward March.

“Heh——”

“So that’s why a mere bed bug of a human dares to act so arrogantly.”

“Turns out you’re just a pretty boy living off a sugar mama?”

That’s the stuff!

NovelFires on Qidian never let me down!

“What the hell are you laughing at!”

March’s face twisted as he saw that damn cheeky smile pop up on Yu Jin’s face again, making his teeth itch with rage!

If not for…

If not for this blonde human girl also having a Limit-Breaking Talent as high as 1%, there’s no way he’d still be here trash talking!

He would’ve clapped these two lovebirds to death long ago!

“Just remembered something funny.”

Yu Jin answered with a straight face, and at the same time, stepped out from behind Athena.

“You…”

Athena looked at Yu Jin, wanting to say something, but stopped just as the words reached her lips.

She knew, Yu Jin probably had a Limit-Breaking Talent of 2%, maybe even 3%—higher than her and March’s 1%.

But still—

In Wasteland OL, Limit Breaking matters, but it’s not everything.

For second-generation elites like her and March, their own Attribute Abilities and other talents were leagues above those of ordinary people like Yu Jin.

And that’s why she had to step forward to protect Yu Jin.

Still, despite thinking this, Athena didn’t say any of it out loud.

She understood well—all true geniuses have their own pride.

Thump——

Thump thump——!

As the three squared off—

At the heart of Mariner Grand Canyon—

Tens of thousands of human Unlimiters were already closing in on Camp 13, just outside the Energy Hub.

Inside the camp: tens of thousands of Fallen Ones.

In that moment—

Both sides were locked and loaded; total war was seconds away.

Even though it was only the fourth day since the war kicked off, with both sides’ leaders and main forces here, the final showdown was destined to arrive early.

And all of this—all of it—

Had originated from Yu Jin.

“Phew——”

As the instigator, Yu Jin took a long breath.

“Stand behind me.”

He walked over to Athena’s side, tossing out the words without even a backward glance.

“…”

Athena went silent.

This guy…

No matter how high your Limit-Breaking Talent is, no matter how much genius pride you’ve got, shouldn’t you quit being so cocky?

Athena’s hands, gripped around the Holy Sword, tensed even more.

And yet, she didn’t stop Yu Jin.

“I’ll cover for you.”

She didn’t say this out loud—instead, it was whispered in her heart.

At this moment—

Athena felt something in her heart she’d never experienced before.

Not that cheesy crush kind of feeling. But—

Ever since she was little, she’d worn the crown of Federal Heiress.

Apart from her parents and family, almost everyone else she’d ever met treated her with respect, sometimes downright flattery.

But Yu Jin?

This civilian genius out of nowhere seemed to not care about her status in the slightest.

Standing in front of him, she wasn’t the daughter of the Federal Speaker—she was just an ordinary girl. Nothing more, nothing less.

BOOM——!

BOOM-BOOM——!

The raging wind swirling across the world messed up Athena’s golden hair, snapping her back to reality.

The source of that wind—Yu Jin.

“Is he about to start Limit Breaking?”

Athena watched Yu Jin’s back, those golden eyes flashing with curiosity.

As for Yu Jin’s Limit-Breaking Talent, all she had were secondhand stories from Don Flack and a few Personal Guard Captains.

Till now, Athena had never actually seen it for herself.

But now, clearly, was the moment.

“If he really has 2%, that’d make him the Ophelia Federation’s number one prodigy of this generation.”

“If he actually hits 3%…”

“Even my father would have to treat him like royalty.”

“After all, Attributes and combat talents can be replaced and changed in other ways, but only the Limit-Breaking Talent is truly innate.”

“The higher your Limit-Breaking Talent, the stronger you are not just in Wasteland OL, but in reality—it straight up determines how powerful your Civilization Federation is.”

“Right now, the highest Limit-Breaking Talent in the whole Ophelia Federation is my father, all the way up at 2.1%…”

“And that lets him output 12.1% of an Extraordinary Value outside of Wasteland, which is exactly how he became the undisputed Federation Speaker…”

One thought after another raced through Athena’s mind.

Meanwhile, above the Fallen Camp—

March Constantine’s face had lost all of its earlier smugness.

He glared, locked onto Yu Jin.

He felt a shockingly strong Limit Breaking presence from Yu Jin.

This presence…

…wasn’t any weaker than his own.

“Damn it!”

March’s teeth clenched hard.

He couldn’t get it—he was supposed to be the Constantine heir with 1% Limit-Breaking Talent, so how the hell did he meet two humans with talent not weaker than his in his very first Wasteland OL?

BOOM——!

Yu Jin’s aura spiked so fast it was visible to the naked eye.

His Value, too, kept rising, bit by bit.

Both human and Fallen One armies weren’t rushing to fight just yet.

Tens of thousands of eyes were locked on Yu Jin, floating in the sky.

Like they were all waiting for The Result.

At the same Unlimited Value, normally, Fallen Ones outclass human Unlimiters in battle power.

So—

If nothing unexpected happens, if Yu Jin’s Unlimited Value doesn’t reach Athena and March’s level…

BOOM——!

Up in the Celestial Vault, thunder exploded out of nowhere.

Yu Jin’s aura soared to new heights yet again.

The brutal truth—

He actually didn’t have any so-called ’Limit-Breaking Talent’ at all.

Yu Jin’s Unlimited Value was 5%+1%=6%.

If he wanted to unleash that full 6%, he didn’t need all that hassle Athena and March went through. No ’breaking limits’ required.

But—

Cheating’s gotta have some cover, right?

Especially with a handy ’Limit-Breaking Talent’ as an excuse, Yu Jin had to go all in with his performance.

Now—

His Value hit 290,000!

Which, of course, is Mars OL’s theoretical server cap!

“Here it comes!”

“It’s starting!”

“How strong do you think he’ll get?”

“…”

Right in this moment—

Tens of thousands in both camps all looked up at Yu Jin in the sky, thinking the same thing.

Athena’s golden eyes were glued—unblinking—to Yu Jin’s back.

Her gaze was a mix of anticipation and nerves.

To her, it wasn’t about winning or losing this battle or Mars OL—it was the result that was coming next!

Yu Jin’s Limit-Breaking Talent—that’s what she cared about most. No contest.

On the other side—

March’s expression was as dark as night, his eyes pinned on Yu Jin.

“No, I don’t believe it…”

“I don’t believe there are that many prodigies with 1% Limit-Breaking Talent!”

March’s mind was looping the denial, over and over.

Up in the sky—

Yu Jin had no idea what the other two were thinking.

“Break!”

He was deep into actor mode.

BOOM——!

The second he finished the word—

Yu Jin’s aura began skyrocketing!

“3%, 3.1%, 3.2%…”

“3.9%!”

In just the blink of an eye—

Yu Jin’s Unlimited Value surged to 3.9%!

Which meant, his ’Limit-Breaking Talent’ matched Athena and March: 1%!

“No…”

“Impossible!”

March’s fists cracked and popped from the pressure.

But—it didn’t help him at all.

Yu Jin’s Value, after hitting 390,000, paused for just a second, then began rocketing up again!

The speed now was even more ridiculous than before—

“4%… 4.5%… 4.9%!”

In barely a heartbeat—

Everyone was still reeling from that ’1% Limit Breaking’ shakeup, and Yu Jin’s Value shot up to 490,000!

“2%!”

“There really is a 2%!”

Athena bit her lip, her whole body shivering slightly.

Even though Don Flack and others had speculated Yu Jin might have as much as 2% Limit-Breaking Talent, seeing it with her own eyes was another story entirely!

“No, wait…”

“It’s not even stopping, still climbing!”

Athena’s excitement quickly turned to shock.

Because—

Yu Jin was done faking it.

BOOM——!

A terrifying aura swept through heaven and earth.

5%… 5.5%… 6%!

Yu Jin went all in, revealing his entire Unlimited Value all at once!

600,000 Energy Value blanketed the whole Mariner Grand Canyon!

And, in everyone else’s eyes—

“3.1%!”

“3.1% Limit-Breaking Talent!”

March was absolutely stunned!

Athena was left speechless!

Tens of thousands from both sides were dumbfounded, frozen in dead silence!
