Chapter 80

Mao Zimiao was feeling as if she were stuck in mid-air, unable to move. She looked at the increasingly bright antlers of the demon deer, yet felt an unusual calm in her heart.

Why did I make such a low-level mistake?

Was it because my limbs were numbed by electricity just now?

Or was it because I was worried and confused when I saw Wang Qi being hit and his fate unknown?

Speaking of which, what was I thinking when I saw Xiao Qi being kicked away just now? Was I anxious? Or... heartbroken?

Then, the half-demon girl saw a black shadow charging straight at her. Upon closer inspection, it was Wang Qi, who had just been kicked away. The material wave-constructed protective aura was highly effective, and Wang Qi was like a turtle in a shell with built-in shock absorption, almost unharmed. However, the expression on his face, as seen by Mao Zimiao, seemed rather agitated.

Is it because of me? The girl felt a bit puzzled.

It wasn't until Wang Qi also entered the range of the deer king's attack that the half-demon girl's slow brain finally remembered a more important question.

"Are you going to die with me, Xiao Qi?"

Mao Zimiao wanted to push Wang Qi away, but cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't yet fly. If Mao Zimiao had the ability to push Wang Qi away, she would have already escaped the demon deer's lightning range.

Mao Zimiao's thoughts had no effect on Wang Qi. Finally, Wang Qi grabbed Mao Zimiao's hand before the demon deer launched its attack.

Mao Zimiao felt a tingling sensation, similar to being electrocuted, from the hand Wang Qi held. This tingling, heart-itching sensation instantly spread throughout the half-demon girl's body.

"Huh? Is this the feeling of love that Mother talked about, the one you feel when you meet the man you love?"

This was the last doubt in the girl's heart.

Then, blue lightning swallowed the two of them.

"No!" On the ground, Wu Shiqin let out a cry of sorrow.

However, Su Junyu had already seen through everything. In mid-air, Su Junyu nodded in satisfaction and did not activate the lethal card in his hand.

There was no need. After the lightning, Wang Qi and the other were unharmed.

Indeed, unharmed. Apart from being thrown higher by the explosion caused by the lightning piercing the atmosphere, the two were completely unscathed.

Mao Zimiao's cheeks were flushed red, not realizing she was out of danger. The half-demon girl's small brain capacity was now occupied by the "electric-like feeling of love."

Wang Qi stared at the deer king, not noticing Mao Zimiao's strange state. If he knew what the half-demon girl was thinking now, he would probably grab her ear and shout, "That's not 'like being electrocuted,' it's really being electrocuted, you dumb cat!"

It was really being electrocuted, with high voltage and low current.

The most fundamental principle of the Heavenly Song, known as the Maxwell equations on Earth, is the best description of the electromagnetic force among the four fundamental forces, even after quantum physics and relativistic physics have surpassed classical physics. The Heavenly Song is a supreme technique that directly targets the essence of the electromagnetic force, and its true power is far more than just discharging arcs and attracting metals.

Everything related to the electromagnetic force can be achieved by the Heavenly Song!

High voltage and low current is one of them. The damage caused by electric shock to the human body mainly depends on the current, while voltage is more like a "power limit." The reason people on Earth die from 110-volt electric shocks is ultimately due to the infinite current provided by the power grid. If there were a discharger with 100,000 volts but could only release less than one milliamp of current, it would at most cause a tingling sensation on the skin.

It's not difficult for the Heavenly Song to achieve this. Although it can't infinitely increase temperature like the Heavenly Entropy Formula, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage can still increase their voltage to several hundred volts. Female cultivators of the Thunderclap Pavilion often use this technique to enhance the mood when they are half-heartedly accepting their lovers' advances. Legend has it that a certain proud young lady from the Thunderclap Pavilion used this technique to repeatedly shock her lover who tried to stop her before a life-or-death duel with a disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect skilled in the Vector Control Formula. The unnamed hero could still stand up and fight on behalf of the young lady.

Wang Qi looked down at the demon deer, a mischievous smile appearing on his face. He suddenly tightly hugged Mao Zimiao, and with a puzzled "meow?" from the half-demon girl, he used the Thousand-Pound Drop technique, plummeting towards the top of the demon deer.

The demon deer was taken aback, not expecting these two seemingly weak beings to withstand its innate abilities. It roared, and dozens of lightning arcs shot from its antlers.

However, the previously unstoppable lightning had no effect on the two!

"Oh oh oh oh oh, na na na na na na na..."

Wang Qi suddenly became very excited and hummed a tune from Earth. Accompanied by the off-key tune, the two crashed onto the deer king's head.

The deer king was stunned, and Wang Qi took the opportunity to use a soft force to throw the half-demon onto a tree. The residual current on Mao Zimiao's body discharged onto the tree, leaving a scorched mark.

Wang Qi laughed heartily, grabbed the deer king's antlers with both hands, and said, "Ripples can't hurt you, can they? Take my magnetic-filled — Sea Tiger Boom Boom Boom Punch!" As he spoke, he used the full power of the Heavenly Song and punched.

The deer king felt pain, let out a long howl, and its antlers glowed with a blinding blue light. However, Wang Qi, holding the antlers, seemed completely unaffected by the lightning.

"Xiao Qi, it's dangerous, jump over here meow!" Mao Zimiao's face was still flushed with red, and she worriedly shouted at Wang Qi. She hadn't yet recovered from the fact that she was being held by a man.

However, her girlish thoughts were destined to be in vain. Wang Qi had hugged her purely on a whim — if the creature below suddenly transformed into a human form and said, "Is this the legendary orange demon?" it would be truly exciting. Then, because of this梗 (gag) that no one in the神州 (Shenzhou) understood, he casually hugged the only orange thing around — Mao Zimiao's hair color is orange.

At this moment, the deer king's antlers were so bright that they were blinding, with countless lightning arcs traveling between them. However, Wang Qi remained unharmed. He laughed and punched the deer king's nose, saying, "Beast! Considering your hard work in cultivation, I'll tell you a principle summarized by the Thunderclap Pavilion before I finish you off..."

As he spoke, he punched the base of the antlers, "The power of lightning is based on the potential difference between you and me..."

This time, he stomped on the deer king's skull, "Your lightning has a voltage of less than 700 volts... which is exactly within the voltage amplification range of my Heavenly Song..."

Then, he slashed the deer king's antlers with a palm strike, "Now, we are at the same potential, so your lightning is just a loose mass of demonic energy to me!"

PS1: Thank you to the passerby from Long Kong for recommending my book. The number of favorites has been increasing rapidly today QAQ

PS2: The main gag in this chapter comes from the second season of Aldnoah.Zero, the expressionless dragon overlord scholar. I once thought that the best style for a thesis-flow protagonist would be like the one in Aldnoah.Zero ORZ.
