Chapter 109: Chapter 75: New Skill: Such a Transportation Technique (Part 2)
Faced with a palm strike from the Fox Immortal Maiden, Zhang Chen remained unmoved, like a mountain, merely watching as the hand approached, as if it were a gentle breeze brushing against his face.
My five skills have an iron rule: as long as I capture someone’s soul, they cannot harm me. If within three days I cannot deal with them, their soul will automatically return to their original body.
"Little Fox Spirit, you overestimate yourself, daring to show off before the Sect Ancestor." Zhang Chen smiled lightly, then the Fox Spirit’s palm landed on his chest, but nothing happened afterward. If they were in the Material Realm, perhaps some dust would have stirred, but this place was a mysterious space.
"How is this possible!" The Fox Immortal Maiden stood dazed before Zhang Chen, her eyes fixed on him unharmed, filled with astonishment.
"Fox Demon, do you submit? If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless and striking to kill you." Zhang Chen’s voice was cold, with the Light of the True God flowing around him, an overwhelming Divine Power ready to unleash a deadly strike at any moment.
"Boy, if it weren’t for obtaining the True Dragon Skeleton before entering the great tomb, I would naturally avoid your Light of the True God. But you shouldn’t have purified the True Dragon Remnant Soul to help me gain the True Dragon Skeleton." As she spoke, the Fox Immortal Maiden’s soul fluctuated, and in the next moment, a pure white True Dragon Skeleton appeared at her feet.
"All cultivators under Heaven, from meditation to soul emergence, to night and day travel, all yearn for a most special treasure, one that can cradle the soul and protect it from the forces of nature. The True Dragon Skeleton, containing Heaven and Earth’s fortunes, is the Supreme Treasure of supreme treasures, for cradling the soul. It can reach the Nine Heavens, using Thunder to refine the soul, or descend into the Netherworld to collect various treasures." The Fox Spirit paused and looked at Zhang Chen’s Light of the True God: "Your light is formidable, but the True Dragon has its destiny to resist its power."
"No matter what means you used to bring my soul here, it’s time to end it. Once I capture your soul and extract the True Dragon Destiny, everything will return to its rightful path." As Fox Fairy Nannan’s soul flashed and merged completely into the True Dragon Skeleton, a majestic dragon roar echoed in the gray world. Then, the True Dragon’s claw issued forth, stirring the gray clouds in the air, and directly grasping towards Zhang Chen’s soul.
"So the True Dragon Skeleton has such a use! The cultivation techniques in this world are meditation, soul emergence, night travel, day travel?" Zhang Chen’s eyes gleamed: "Since the True Dragon Skeleton possesses such incredible means and is a vital treasure on the path of cultivation, then this will be mine!"
As the Fox Fairy Nannan’s dragon claw descended, just as Zhang Chen was about to command the Light of the True God to destroy it, the Dragon Qi within his soul slightly trembled, transforming into a dragon shape. It suddenly leaped from his body, suspended three feet in front of him, and roared at the True Dragon Skeleton.
Then the True Dragon Skeleton froze in mid-air, countless golden threads emerged from within, transforming into mist. As the Dragon Qi opened its maw, the mighty mist from the True Dragon Skeleton poured into Zhang Chen’s Dragon Qi and was swallowed in one gulp.
The golden mist surged like a tide towards the dragon mouth in front of Zhang Chen. The Fox Fairy Nannan’s soul was also swept into the golden tide, disappearing into the dragon’s maw without a trace.
After ten breaths, the Dragon Bone seemed drained, and no more golden mist flowed out. The True Dragon then stopped devouring and returned to Zhang Chen’s soul, while the True Dragon Skeleton suspended in the air suddenly shattered like dust, vanishing into the air.
"What is this?" Zhang Chen stood in place, stunned: "Where’s the Fox Spirit?"
The chain pulling the Fox Fairy Nannan was no longer sensed!
"Perhaps she perished under the True Dragon’s might?"
Before he could think clearly, the Golden Finger Interface in front of him suddenly changed:
[Skill 2 (Tier Two): Dragon Qi (0/200000)]
[Additional Skill: Transportation (Unlocked)]
[Additional Skill: Transformation of Illusion and Reality (Unlock at Tier Six)]
Staring at the Golden Finger Interface, Zhang Chen was slightly stunned; weren’t these the Fox Spirit’s skills? How did they become Additional Skills of the True Dragon? Zhang Chen was somewhat bewildered.
It turned out that Transformation of Illusion and Reality needed Dragon Qi at tier six to unlock, leaving Zhang Chen a bit disappointed, as that was the real treasure! Compared to Transformation of Illusion and Reality, the Transportation Technique was just a little brother.
Since Transformation of Illusion and Reality required tier six to unlock, Zhang Chen didn’t look at it further and instead focused on the Transportation Technique.
At this moment, detailed information flowed into Zhang Chen’s mind: "Transportation Technique, capable of transporting items weighing up to 100 pounds. With an increase in Dragon Qi Level, the amount can multiply."
Reading this, Zhang Chen’s expression finally grew serious, realizing he had underestimated this Transportation Technique.
Knowing the Transportation Technique can multiply, he could transport 100 pounds now. Once Dragon Qi upgrades to tier three, he could transport 200 pounds. At tier four, 800 pounds, tier five, 1,600 pounds, tier six, 3,200 pounds, at tier seven, he could transport up to 6,400 pounds. At tier eight, it would be 12,800 pounds!
If he continued upgrading this way, it would get faster as the level increased, powerful enough to move mountains and fill seas, even shifting stars!
While Zhang Chen was pondering further, the gray world before him suddenly collapsed. The soul of the Little Fox Spirit had been obliterated by the impact of the Dragon Qi, and without the skill mark, his soul could no longer stay in the Mysterious World and was returned to his physical body.
"Is it over just like this?" Zhang Chen’s soul returned to his body, looking at the dark tomb, feeling a moment of emptiness, never thinking that the Fox Spirit, whom he saw as a life-and-death adversary, would fall so easily. His greatest worry had been lifted!
"But fortunately, something changed with the Dragon Qi, and it actually copied the Fox Spirit’s skill. I’ll have a chance to unlock the Fox Spirit’s skill in the future." Zhang Chen was secretly pleased, if truth be told, he was quite envious of the Fox Spirit’s Transformation of Illusion and Reality.
The Fox Spirit’s skill was simply too defiant, especially the Transformation of Illusion and Reality, often qualified as a Divine Skill! If he missed out on the Transformation of Illusion and Reality, Zhang Chen would likely faint from crying.
"I wonder what mysteries the Transportation Technique holds?"
"Time to test out the Transportation Technique."
Zhang Chen slowly extended his fair, delicate hand; in the next moment, a golden rune emerged in his palm. The rune was divine in nature; each line seemed innate, filled with perfect rhythm.
This rune appeared naturally formed, infused with an indescribable Dao rhythm and perfection, as if it couldn’t be crafted by mortal means.
"Most importantly, the Transportation Technique has no cooldown! That’s what excites me most!"
Then Zhang Chen looked at the Luminous Pearl rolling on the ground. With a thought, the Transportation Technique activated, and the rune transformed into a stunningly beautiful maiden clad in white, though only the size of a fist. As the Transportation Technique was activated, the maiden in white leaped into the air, reaching the Luminous Pearl, and transported it in front of Zhang Chen, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
Zhang Chen did not take the Luminous Pearl but instead looked at the maiden in white, and they exchanged wide-eyed glances as if they’d seen a ghost.
