Chapter 47: The Battle of the Summit (Part 2)
After years of adventure, Thunder Decision is the most familiar magic technique I have. Even if this venue is a huge cave, I can still summon the power of thunder and lightning. But these are not the key to my choice of Thunder Decision. The key is that my master’s remnant soul left me a magic technique.
This technique is not a secret technique, and even if others see it, they may think it is a tasteless technique. In addition, the requirements for spiritual awareness are so high that they have reached a “perverted” level. Even if it is thrown out and said to be the secret of the old Li school, I am afraid that not many people will be willing to learn it.
This technique is the technique of diversion. To put it simply, it is to divide a powerful one-time technique into ten times of emission. It is like I have invited a powerful thunder, and I use my spiritual perception to divide and control it, turning it into ten small thunders of average power, which are emitted ten times!
It sounds like this diversion technique is for fun, but there is a key phrase in the explanation of this technique that caught my attention and made me decide to use it in this showdown. That is, after being diverted, the technique will become an instantaneous technique that does not require any hand gestures or incantations. As long as the control of its spiritual awareness is loosened, it can be instantly emitted!
Because the technique I really want to use requires a very long time, I have to use this diversion technique to ensure my safety when casting the spell.
As I quickly sensed the power of thunder and lightning with the movement of the hand seal, I quickly sensed the power of thunder and lightning because I quickly moved the hand seal of the diversion technique as soon as the hand seal was completed. This is the second “anti-heaven” aspect of the diversion technique. As long as your soul can withstand it and your spiritual awareness can be divided smoothly, you can “infinitely” gather the power of the technique.
I kept sensing and gathering the power of lightning, and I didn’t overdo it. When I sensed that it was almost time, I began to use the method of diversion carefully. To put it simply, it is to use spiritual power to control the power of lightning, to contain it without letting it out. The role of spiritual perception in this is to accurately divide it, to see what level of power allows spiritual power to completely control it.
This was the first time I had used such a technique, and I was very careful. But in fact, perhaps because I didn’t overdo it, it was easier than I thought. In a very short time, I was able to split the one-time thunder decision into seven times.
I held a hand seal with my left hand. When I opened my eyes, the arena was completely calm, and the audience was booing. I must have failed to cause any abnormal changes in the world, and the thunder and lightning were nowhere to be seen, much to everyone’s chagrin.
I didn’t care about this situation. This battle was for us to get protection, not for show. I don’t care about people who don’t matter, so I don’t care what they think.
After I used the diversion technique, Zhang Han was still casting spells. I just glanced at him and felt that an inexplicable aura was gathering around him. Because I didn’t test it, I didn’t know what it was, but I thought Zhang Han wasn’t a fool. He might have already done the so-called “defense” before me. If I attacked rashly at this time, I estimated that the effect would not be great.
These are not the things I care about. The only thing I care about is that as Zhang Han’s magic is cast, I feel that the strange tattoo on his body is getting more and more… I can’t put it into words. It’s like it’s getting more and more vibrant, and it looks even more strange.
Thinking of this, amidst the boos from the audience, I closed my eyes, clasped my left hand in a fist, and finally took my first step!
Since it is the most basic competition, it is natural that there will be various hand techniques and footwork battles. In my heart, there is no other technique that can completely suppress Zhang Han, except for it—the Heavenly and Earthly Steps!
I had already practiced this step twice before, but both times I had done it with the help of my master, and this time I had to do it on my own, even though it was the simplest of the four steps of the Heaven and Earth Stance: the Four-Phenomena Step!
The trip to the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts, the soul entering the dream, to some extent, we did not not get the benefits, that is, the soul through this strange environment, got a complete tempering.
As for me, I received an even greater benefit. The Grandmaster used his remaining soul to repair the wounds in my soul, allowing my spiritual power to take a major step forward. After all, the Grandmaster is the Grandmaster. Even a remnant soul is more powerful than imagined. In addition to repairing my injuries, the extra benefits were naturally given to me. I discovered this when I was recovering in the mountain village.
This is the greatest reason why I chose to practice the “Walking on Heaven and Earth” technique!
When I was performing the “Heavenly and Earth Steps,” the audience’s comments continued to echo. The general content was nothing more than Chen Chengyi’s Thunder Decision having failed, so he quickly used other methods to remedy it. But this Thunder Decision would fail the first person of the younger generation. Could other methods succeed?
It was still like the sound of the wind passing by my ears. I calmly stepped on the steps, and when I was about to take the first key step, sensing the power of the stars and responding to the position of the Vermilion Bird, I heard a clear “huh?” sound. It was the white-robed man who actually exclaimed.
I looked at the white-robed man with a blank expression, but it was only a subconscious reaction. I heard Yan Chenming yell out in disbelief, “Tian Di Yu Bu!”
Then Xiao Chengqian responded: “What’s the fuss about? Chengyi has already performed it for me several times. Only ignorant people would make a fuss here.”
“Oh? Performed several times? Xiao Da Shao should have a limit to his bragging, right? Then I’d like to see how he can step out of this world with such arrogance.” Yan Chen’s tone was inexplicably gloomy, not entirely directed at Xiao Chengqian.
After hearing this, Xiao Chengqian just snorted and said, “Then you just watch.”
They were talking across the arena, and at this moment of conversation, I had already taken the first crucial step and landed without hesitation.
With this step, a planet appeared in the world of Cunsi, rotating and falling into the position of the Vermillion Bird. This familiar feeling filled my soul. Compared to the embarrassment of the last time, when the power of the soul was limited, this time I felt much more relaxed.
As the power of the stars settled in the position of the Red Bird, a power of the stars with astonishing pressure appeared on the arena and was still radiating outwards.
When I opened my eyes, the arena was quiet, Yan Chen-ning looked gloomy, and Zheng Ming-yi took off his sunglasses and stared at me with his eyes wide open. I couldn’t see what my friends were doing behind me, but I could hear Xiao Cheng-qian’s arrogant laughter in the silence. Then I heard the white-robed man say, “This kid, he can’t be really 60 or 70 years old, can he? That doesn’t make sense. I’ve measured his bone age.”
At this time, the boos in the stands had gradually died down, and suddenly a loud cry came from the front of the northwest section: “Mom, this kid is stepping on the top step, the heaven and earth step!”
This voice was originally very, very small in the venue of 100,000 people, but it was close to the stands and reached my ears. However, as I kept stepping on the steps, more and more cries of surprise sounded. After all, the first star power had been introduced on the arena, and with the great reputation of the “Heavenly and Earth Steps,” by this time, people with insight were probably already recognizing it.
When I was about to take the second crucial step, the stands had already turned into a sea of screams.
“This Chen Chengyi has not even succeeded in using a simple thunder technique? Has he lost his mind and is he practicing the Heavenly and Earthly Steps?”
“If it was those old guys who were doing the Tian Di Yu Bu, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. How did he receive the first star power? Why didn’t the thunder technique work?”
The exclamations were naturally accompanied by questions, but unfortunately the answers were not something they could guess at this time. In my blank gaze, Zhang Han slightly frowned, and the eyes of his strange tattoos seemed to be about to burn.
At this time, even if I did not have the ability to think, I subconsciously understood that Zhang Han’s magic was about to be completed, and that there was not much time left for me to complete the steps of the universe and earth with peace of mind. If he completed the magic, I would have to devote a small part of my spirit and soul power to leave the world of existence and existence to deal with him.
Unfortunately, the steps I took after that would become increasingly difficult, which would undoubtedly be a situation that would make things worse for me!
But the arrow is already on the string and I have no choice but to go ahead. I decided to do this from the very beginning, didn’t I? So the anxiety that was presented in my subconscious was directly reflected in my actions, and I stepped on the step faster.
The second star power was channeled down, and the position of the black turtle was restored!
My pace of walking the star pattern became faster and faster, and Zhang Han’s tattoo not only seemed to come to life, but his entire body also underwent a strange transformation. His skin began to turn red, and even tiny wisps of steam began to emerge, as if his entire body was filled with extremely high temperatures. His expression was painful, and the tattoo seemed to have a layer of energy flowing through it at this time. If you looked at it for a long time, you would feel that the tattoo was making various expressions.
“Ah!” was Zhang Han’s long cry, and then the redness on his skin began to fade rapidly, and the abnormality of the tattoo began to disappear. When I was about to proceed to the third step, Zhang Han’s eyes suddenly opened.
“Chen Chengyi, I was one step ahead of you! You lost.” Zhang Han stood on the arena at this moment, his tall figure and strange tattoos really making him look like a king returning.
And I, did I really lose? I looked at Zhang Han blankly, and a small part of my soul power and spiritual power had already left the world of existence.
