Chapter 012: Bloodline Awakening

Good.

Wang Bo patted his own face. After his strength increased, he seemed to have gotten a bit cocky. Today's lesson served as a reminder.

He didn't yet have the right to be arrogant.

He could afford to be arrogant only after he became a multiversal deity.

Calming down, Wang Bo looked at Diana. She held a sword and shield, looking very serious.

Wang Bo nodded and said slowly, "Good, just like that. Don't blink, focus all your spirit, because the battle will end in an instant."

Bang!

Wang Bo vanished instantly, leaving behind a white sonic boom cloud.

In a split second, he broke the sound barrier and kept accelerating—Mach 3, Mach 5, Mach 10. By the time he approached Diana, his speed had exceeded Mach 20.

At that speed, Wang Bo merely bumped Diana's shield lightly.

The next second, Diana was sent flying thousands of meters before crashing into a massive rock and stopping.

If it were Diana at her peak, she could have easily dodged this strike.

But the current Diana was too inexperienced to track Wang Bo moving at twenty times the speed of sound.

The gap between them was too large.

After all, even at her peak, Diana was far from a match for Superman.

Superman was simply too powerful.

Diana stopped, shook her head, used her sword as a crutch to stand up, and her gaze grew more cautious.

Though she had been knocked back thousands of meters, she wasn't badly hurt. Most of the impact was blocked by her shield. The divine shield, made of the mysterious metal of Themyscira, was likely no less defensive than vibranium.

"It seems your fists are formidable too, but defeating me won't be a matter of an instant."

Diana declared confidently.

Wang Bo couldn't help but smile slightly. If he had struck Diana's body instead of her shield, she would already be unable to stand.

But since this woman refused to admit defeat, Wang Bo didn't mind fighting another round.

Bang!

The sonic boom cloud tore through the air. Wang Bo vanished again, still at Mach 20. He wanted to see how long this Wonder Woman could keep up her bravado.

The next second, Diana was knocked flying.

But this time, before Diana could land, Wang Bo rammed her again.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang... In an instant, Diana became a ball, knocked around by Wang Bo.

To be honest, this was entirely like an adult bullying a child.

Even Wang Bo felt embarrassed, so after a few hits, he stopped. "Now you should understand. You haven't grown yet; you're no match for me."

Wang Bo estimated that Diana would need to defeat Ares and fully awaken her Zeus bloodline before she could beat him. For now, she was still too green.

Diana climbed up from the sand, her expression grim. Every bone in her body screamed in pain. This time, she had indeed lost, and thoroughly. It stung deeply.

She didn't want to lose to someone who looked down on her.

Sadness, anger, humiliation—all kinds of complex emotions intertwined, awakening the dormant bloodline within her. Bolts of lightning burst from her body.

Wang Bo was stunned. No way, this was too ridiculous.

Wasn't this just a friendly spar? Why was Diana's bloodline awakening now?

Was this the heroine? Always staging a comeback at critical moments?

As the lightning intensified, Diana's body rapidly healed, and she felt herself brimming with power again.

Both her shield and sword were wreathed in lightning.

She looked at Wang Bo with confidence. "Maybe we can have a second round."

Wang Bo thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, too troublesome. If you're willing to stay, we can save this world together. After we save it, I'll send you back."

He didn't want to fight a half-god who had awakened her bloodline.

Especially when that half-god was Wonder Woman, Diana.

After awakening, this woman could even kill Ares. She was incredibly fierce. Wang Bo felt he shouldn't fight such a crazy woman.

This wasn't cowardice; it was avoiding trouble. He just wanted a peaceful, ordinary life.

"That's not up to you." After her bloodline awakened, Diana was wreathed in lightning, divine power bolstering her flesh, making her even stronger.

Now she was bursting with confidence. Wang Bo said they wouldn't fight? How could that be!

The next second, she vanished, her lightning-wreathed body appearing before Wang Bo in an instant. She raised her shield and slammed it toward his head.

Wang Bo raised his hand to block the shield.

Bang!

A huge dull sound echoed through the void, and the surrounding sand radiated outward like a tsunami.

"Enough," Wang Bo said. He felt he should never have started fighting this woman.

"Not enough yet." Diana grew even more spirited. With the lightning's help, her speed rapidly increased from a few Mach to Mach 20.

And this wasn't even her limit. With divine power awakened and lightning accelerating her, she easily broke Mach 20 and reached Mach 30.

In response, Wang Bo had to increase his speed to Mach 30.

The two clashed and collided in the Mach 30 domain, turning the entire desert into their battlefield.

In a single breath, they could easily circle the desert. At this speed, the desert was nearly overturned, with terrifying cracks appearing one after another.

Diana's companions couldn't even see their figures, only constant explosions and ever-appearing ravines. One of them couldn't help but marvel: were these two really human?

Meanwhile, Wang Bo, in the midst of the battle, soon realized that Mach 30 was not Diana's limit.

Her speed kept increasing.

Mach 33, Mach 35, Mach 40...

So Wang Bo had to use magic enhancement and ripple qigong enhancement to keep up. But he soon found that Mach 40 was Diana's limit.

If she continued, her body would break down.

Her current body couldn't withstand such high-speed movement. This somewhat relieved Wang Bo.
