Chapter 1155: Long Night as the Sun Rises
Chapter 1155: Long Night as the Sun Rises
Chen Chuan floated in mid-air, examining the entity before him. It was quite unique, differing significantly from the beings he had encountered before.
It appeared to be a massive face, supported by what looked like a long nose. Its body was surrounded by shimmering Crystal Mist, but its surface was covered in a layer of skin and muscle, with muscles, tendons, and flowing blood beneath, lacking the indistinct, mist-like quality of the others.
This should be the result of the original Spirit Body gradually materializing after entering the world, eventually stabilizing into a more solid form.
In the places where the Crystal Mist dispersed, there were faint, intermittent Cracks in the air, resembling fine electrical currents.
These were actually the entity's Field trying to open rifts, but it was being restricted by the Ritual within the city. Not only was it restricted, but it was also continuously being suppressed.
In the information provided by the first delegation, this entity was designated as a "Wanderer", but the details were not transparent. Apart from this name, there was no further introduction.
He understood the intention behind this. Over the long years, the powers of many such entities had seeped into their world. Some were conscious, while others were not. They became the earliest Worship Objects of ancient humans and even transformed into local Deities. Since these forms and the entities behind them were essentially one, after the new era began, numerous Old Religions and their Deities were banned from worship.
Like that Old Sin, the more you know, the wider you spread the information, the more likely their power is to revive. In the context of comprehensive defense, using such a symbolic name was appropriate.
However, the term "Wanderer" seemed to have a deeper meaning.
As he observed this opponent, Mr. Weiss, who was standing beside him, noticed that Chen Chuan was not moving and assumed he was hesitant. Although Mr. Weiss had not appeared when Chen Chuan came to the Free Academy, he had seen him through the Field Screen. He then offered a reminder.
"Mr. Chen, this thing's Corrosive Field is very strong. Be careful. Later, I'll assist you, and we'll take turns suppressing it!"
Chen Chuan nodded slightly, thanked him, and then extended a finger downward. A bright light quickly shimmered at his fingertip.
The entity, upon seeing this, suddenly had its eyes flash with light, which burst forth instantly. The Spiritual Impacts from both sides collided in mid-air, creating a ripple-like circle of light that expanded outward, scattering fine light particles.
After the collision, a deep, rolling thunder echoed from the sky.
The entity on the other side appeared unharmed, still standing there, its two massive eyes fixed on him.
Chen Chuan met its gaze calmly. His previous attack was a test, and it was clear that this Wanderer was much stronger than Cavinton.
Moreover, this assessment was made even before the removal of the Spiritual Relic of Suppression from its body.
He glanced at the fine Cracks continuously forming in the Crystal Mist. Although it couldn't fully open the rifts, it could still draw energy from the other side through those tiny Cracks to replenish itself.
At this moment, the Wanderer made an unexpected move. It actually responded to Chen Chuan's earlier question, sending him a message.
This time, it was not the chaotic information from before, but a clear mental expression. If Chen Chuan was willing to let it retreat today, it promised to give him a benefit, citing the deal it had made with Cavinton as proof of its trustworthiness.
It was precisely because it had entrusted some of its power to Cavinton that it could clearly sense everything there and recognize Chen Chuan's strength, leading it to be willing to communicate with him.
Chen Chuan, upon hearing this, said, "So you can speak human language." He offered a clear path: "If you go back on your own, I won't make things difficult for you."
He had already killed one Cavinton, and he wouldn't mind killing another. However, since others had asked for his help in blocking it, killing it outright might seem disrespectful. Moreover, this Wanderer seemed to have some research value. As long as the other party understood, he could take a step back.
However, after he said this, the entity's mental awareness clearly indicated its refusal. This made things simpler. Chen Chuan extended his hand, and the light in his palm flickered. This time, the power he gathered far exceeded the previous attack.
In an instant, a massive ball of light descended. This time, the entity seemed unprepared, and its huge body exploded directly in the impact.
Chen Chuan's eyes reflected the brilliant light that illuminated the night sky.
However, he knew this attack hadn't caused any real damage. The entity's body had disintegrated on its own, breaking into numerous glowing fragments that scattered in all directions.
At this moment, the power of the Great Bright Light Technique surged from his body, radiating like the sun. The light revealed a humanoid figure flying away at the edge.
He flashed forward, blocking the figure's path. Holding his blade aloft, he stood against the dazzling neon lights of Central City, and said, "Where do you think you can hide?"
Standing before him was a humanoid figure covered in dense clusters of crystals, with a complete set of limbs and a head, and a well-proportioned body. Its face had a pair of glowing, peculiar eyes that seemed to draw one's spirit into a deep trance.
Seeing Chen Chuan block his way, the figure did not retreat this time but swung a punch. A seven-colored light flame, akin to Spiritual Flame, flashed from its fist.
Chen Chuan countered with a punch of his own. Their fists collided, and spiritual light scattered, sparks flying. The forces and Spiritual Flame they released were evenly matched.
After exchanging several moves in mid-air, he found an opening and grabbed the figure's wrist. He spun around and kicked it far away. The air around him exploded, and under the influence of the force field, he quickly rushed forward, releasing his Xuejun Blade and striking with both fists. The Wanderer moved swiftly, blocking his attacks with its limbs.
In a brief moment, they exchanged dozens of attacks and defenses. Chen Chuan realized that this Wanderer was highly skilled, not only in its techniques but also in using movement to defuse force. At the same time, a Corrosive Field constantly assaulted him, causing his Second Self to frequently Phantomize.
He immediately understood that this indicated the entity had been in this world for a long time or had possessed some Gou Dou Jia. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so familiar with human combat techniques and use them so proficiently.
This must have happened before its imprisonment, not during. It seemed this "Wanderer" indeed had some special qualities, which might be why it was imprisoned in the Sealed Hall.
In his view, the battle with Cavinton was purely a contest of strength, offering little for his self-improvement. However, fighting such an opponent now greatly increased his fighting spirit.
He threw another punch, and the Wanderer extended a palm to meet it. Bright light flashed where they made contact. The figure's arm and body twisted slightly in mid-air, defusing the force. It then spun and slashed at him with a simple yet perfectly timed move.
What a remarkable technique.
Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow. Not only was it remarkable, but it was also highly experienced. Among his opponents, Scarson's techniques were the most refined and solid he had ever seen.
But this Wanderer surpassed even that, using various techniques effortlessly and seamlessly transitioning between different strengths.
He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise today. Now intrigued, he decided to intensify his efforts. He took a deep breath and activated the Heaven and Earth Furnace Breathing Technique. With his current physical condition, the boost was significant.
The Wanderer, sensing this, its peculiar eyes flashed with light, and its strength also increased. The sound of thunderous impacts echoed as their limbs collided, and light flames burst and flew. They rapidly exchanged hundreds of attacks, their strength and techniques changing in an instant. Any minor issue in the transfer of force would disrupt the rhythm, but neither of them showed any weaknesses, their attacks and defenses flowing like water.
Mr. Weiss stood to the side, initially wanting to join the fight. However, as he circled around, he realized he couldn't intervene.
As a Divine Form Fighter, he could normally enhance his allies or influence the enemy. But now, it was extremely difficult.
The Wanderer's Infectious Power made him hesitant to get too close. As for Chen Chuan, he was surprised to find that his Mental Power couldn't attach to him at all. This meant that if he attacked with Mental Power, it would be almost useless unless he used special means.
This left him awkwardly circling around, sometimes even unable to keep up with their rapid movements.
Chen Chuan had long forgotten about the agreed-upon strategy of taking turns to attack. The more he fought this Wanderer, the higher his fighting spirit rose.
At his current level, he rarely experienced such exhilarating battles. In the past, his opponents either had excellent techniques but lacked strength, or they were strong but lacked technique, or they were deficient in speed. There was always a weakness he could exploit with his strengths.
But this opponent was different. It had no weaknesses in any aspect, and as he increased his power, the opponent did the same.
He didn't want to kill such a worthy opponent.
Instead, he wanted to see how far this opponent could go.
His eyes gleamed, and Spiritual Flame burst forth from his body. He fully unleashed the Great Azure Sky Style and the Great Bright Light Technique. A brilliant light, as intense as the sun in the sky, erupted, blinding to look at!
