All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 268: Mysterious Technique

The fierce battle in the night sky continued, with crowds below discussing animatedly.

In his room, Feng Bulang could see the battle outside through the window. The terrifying energy waves had awakened many people, including him.

“Has Tianxian found another opponent? Who is it?” Feng Bulang was in a bad mood. He had originally planned to return directly to Night City, but felt reluctant to leave. He wanted to know if others could accomplish what he couldn’t. Although Tianxian was strong, the human prodigies might not necessarily be unable to defeat him.

“Sigh, this young master of the Bird Clan is really troublesome,” Pill Taoist had naturally been alerted by the fighting outside. With a wave of his hand, his power covered the entire academy, protecting all the buildings. They could fight as they pleased without causing major damage. These prodigies were all extraordinarily powerful, but they were still not enough in front of top experts of the current world like Pill Taoist.

“Heavenly Fire – Sudden Rainstorm!” Tianxian’s wings shot out countless feathers, each burning with cyan flames. It was a terrifying fire that was hard to extinguish once it touched something.

“Hmph!” Fan Longyu snorted coldly, his dragon scales shooting out. Each scale seemed to have consciousness, accurately blocking all the feathers.

Tianxian knew his opponent was extraordinary. In terms of speed, power, and explosive force, he far surpassed previous opponents, even slightly better than that number one genius from the Cangfeng Realm. It seemed he had gained a lot in the Heavenly Book world.

“Since that’s the case, there’s no need to hold back. Celestial Image!” Behind Tianxian appeared a huge winged human divine image. Terrifying power emanated from his hands, as if he was the god controlling this space, omnipotent, easily crushing everything.

“What is that?” Many people seeing this winged human divine image for the first time were so surprised their jaws dropped.

“Is it similar to the legendary Heaven and Earth Law Body divine ability? I’ve heard it’s a secret technique of the Bird Clan, only those with pure Bird Clan bloodline can comprehend it,” someone with broad knowledge explained.

“Impressive. The pressure from this divine image is extraordinary. I wonder how his opponent will break through this situation.” As the battle reached its climax, the spectators also became excited.

A dragon’s roar echoed in the night sky. The dragon scales on Fan Longyu’s chest burst into a scorching light, and a fire dragon phantom emerged from the scales, coiling around to protect Fan Longyu.

In the sky, the winged human image faced off against the five-clawed fire dragon phantom, presenting a grand spectacle for all to see. The second round of the match began.

The winged human image and dragon phantom clashed, the terrifying power from their collisions pressing down on the people below, making it hard to breathe. This was even with Pill Taoist protecting the academy.

“Hahaha, exhilarating! Finally, there’s an opponent among humans who can make me go all out. How dare those previous ones call themselves prodigies?” Tianxian said excitedly. Only with a strong enough opponent could his own strength be highlighted.

“You talk too much, bird-man,” Fan Longyu didn’t know about the previous events, he only knew the person before him was a good whetstone.

After a long time, both the celestial image and dragon phantom disappeared, and the two returned to their original forms.

“Warm-up complete. Time to get serious,” Tianxian stretched his shoulders.

Fan Longyu’s pupils contracted slightly. Was that just a warm-up? He naturally didn’t believe it. “Stop pretending. I’ll use my newly comprehended technique to beat you back to your original form!”

Fan Longyu had fought his way back from the abyss thanks to his newly comprehended ability. At this moment, he decided not to hold back anymore.

“True Dragon Transformation – Scorching Abyss!” Fan Longyu evolved again. Now his appearance was completely unrecognizable as human, with a dragon’s head, claws, tail, wings, and body.

“That’s not right. I remember that although dragons have wings, their body shape wasn’t as slender as the previous dragon phantom. That dragon phantom looked more like an ancient dragon, but ancient dragons didn’t seem to have wings. Where does this person’s dragon blood come from?” someone asked, puzzled.

“Who told you ancient dragons didn’t have wings? There was a type of dragon called Ying Long that had wings. I guess Fan Longyu’s power comes from Ying Long.”

“Ying Long?! That’s incredible!”

“Hmph, even if it really is power from Ying Long, it’s just a tiny bit of inheritance. Otherwise, he would have been unbeatable in the world long ago,” someone else added.

“You’re right, I overthought it. Even if it’s power from Ying Long, he’s not a direct bloodline descendant of Ying Long.”

As the true dragon transformation finished, Fan Longyu had a new form, with scorching fire rings under his feet. It was a power similar to but distinctly different from a domain, which he called the Scorching Abyss.

“Can such diluted bloodline give birth to such a high-level divine ability? Ying Long, Ying Long…” Pill Taoist was also very surprised. He saw that what Fan Longyu had wasn’t a domain but a divine ability, though its effect was similar to a domain. Entering the area covered by his fire ring would subject one to the torment of hellish flames.

“Is this your trump card? Interesting,” Tianxian looked at Fan Longyu and understood he needed to bring out his real skills too. Then, his entire body began to enter a mercury-like state. His original appearance completely disappeared, replaced by a winged mercury man.

“What is this?” Pill Taoist’s eyes widened. He actually didn’t know Tianxian’s technique. Even with his knowledge, he couldn’t recognize it!

“Senior, do you know what this technique is?” Thunder Lord appeared beside Pill Taoist like lightning, followed by Wind Lord.

“You all don’t know either?” Pill Taoist sighed. None of the three of them knew Tianxian’s technique.

The dragon-transformed Fan Longyu and mercury-transformed Tianxian continued to battle, entering the third stage. However, this was the quickest ending stage. Instead of the expected evenly matched fight, Fan Longyu was being overwhelmed. None of his attack methods could cause any damage to the mercury man before him. The mercury man didn’t even defend, allowing him to attack freely. But Fan Longyu couldn’t ignore his opponent’s attacks. Thus, Fan Longyu was facing a nearly invincible opponent who could hurt him, but he couldn’t hurt back. Even the scorching domain aura had no effect at all.

Soon, Fan Longyu was punched to the ground, his true dragon form immediately dissipating.

“Fan Longyu has lost,” Pill Taoist shook his head. This Tianxian was even stronger than they had estimated. “By the way, ask Feng Bulang to come see me. What exactly was that Cyan Lotus Treasury that Tianxian entered back then? This kind of technique doesn’t seem to be internal to the Bird Clan, it should be related to Tianxian’s own encounters. Cyan Lotus Heavenly Fire, divine objects that can increase contract objects, and this technique I’ve never seen before. The secrets of this world are far more numerous than I imagined.”
