Chapter 424: Battle of Fists and Secret Techniques

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as the atmosphere froze, a woman in a plain dress stood up from another open-air observation platform.

This action immediately attracted a lot of attention.

“It’s Jiang Lan!”

Someone sighed softly.

“This will probably end soon.”

“Although the Jiang clan of the human race in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy is considered to occupy fewer planets, everyone from the Jiang clan is an ascetic. This is the genetic trait of the clan.”

“Although Jiang Lan isn’t one of the most talented people sent out by the Jiang clan, she is still a second-tier genius in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.”

Around the square, many alien species were discussing this in low voices.

Clearly, even though Jiang Lan was only a genius from the second tier of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, she did not garner as much attention as the two people beside her.

However, if she stood out alone, it would immediately become dazzling. Her strength would definitely be recognized by the various species, and she did not need to rely on the Jiang clan to intimidate others.

In the square, light spots floated around Jiang Lan’s body as she took a step forward.

At this moment, the distance seemed to have automatically shortened, producing an effect similar to shrinking the ground.

At the same time, the gazes looking over became even more focused. They all wanted to see the extent of Jiang Lan’s current abilities and gather information about her cultivation speed.

In the next moment, Jiang Lan retracted her foot.

She had already arrived. Chen Yiming was more than a meter away from Gao Shuai and she was looking at him coldly, completely ignoring Chen Yiming.

“Sister Jiang…”

As soon as the white-robed youth spoke, he was interrupted by Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan’s gaze stopped on Gao Shuai and she said calmly, “Fat Man Gao, you don’t have to set off smoke bombs every once in a while.”

“Everyone knows about your prophecy ability. It’s impossible for you to directly see the location of the true dragon’s corpse. Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to withstand the corresponding backlash.”

“So if you don’t want to be involved, behave yourself. This will be good for both of us. No one will make things too difficult for you.”

When Gao Shuai heard this, he felt terrible.

Jiang Lan’s words immediately pushed him into an unreasonable situation. He could not refute her. This was the truth. He had said this previously.

Furthermore, Jiang Lan and the white-robed youth were not on the same level. The white-robed youth and his companions came from an external faction.

The biggest difference between the external faction and the clan was that they were relatively spread out. Often, they could only gather their full strength when they were in danger of being wiped out.

The white-robed youth had an extraordinary status in his faction. He was only at the level of a disciple, and he only had the strength of his master.

Therefore, if Gao Shuai got into a conflict with the white-robed youth, with Gao Shuai’s status in the Gao clan, he would usually not even bother to look at him.

In the Jiang clan, Jiang Lan’s status was only slightly lower than Gao Shuai’s, which was equivalent to not being among the top few of the younger generation.

In addition, Gao Shuai was not good at combat, and his cultivation level was one level lower. Even if they fought, he would not be able to do anything to Jiang Lan.

The gazes from the surroundings were similar to Jiang Lan’s, and they seemed to be teasing him.

“We’re finally going to see Fat Man Gao suffer again. We didn’t waste so much time following him in vain,” a spirit beast said happily.

“Indeed. If not for the fact that the elders of my clan forbade me from getting into a conflict with Fat Man Gao before the true dragon’s corpse was found, I wouldn’t have stayed in Flying Cloud City quietly. I would have gone up to fight him just now.”

A black ape held a metal rod in its hand and had an unhappy expression.

Most of the members of the apes were born with violent personalities. It was difficult for them to calm down and cultivate diligently. They were more suited to fight and use the inspiration gained to improve in battle.

At this moment, many humans who were following Gao Shuai were certain that the alien species had similar thoughts when faced with such a situation where they could not make a move.

It could be said that they all treated Chen Yiming as a pushover. Everyone wanted to bully him and earn some face under the gazes of countless people.

However, to their surprise, Chen Yiming asked calmly, “Gao Shuai, what level is the actual ruler of Flying Cloud City?”

Gao Shuai was stunned for a moment before he quickly came back to his senses and said, “It’s He Tianzheng from the He clan, one of the eight large clans in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. He’s at the jade star realm.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he added, “The jade star realm is the second stage on the path of gods. He Tianzheng also knows a secret technique like Jiang Lan’s. It’s best not to fight him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed youth almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

As expected, he came from some unknown planet. Fat Man Gao had explained in detail, which meant that this person knew nothing about the cultivation on the path of gods.

Since he was advised not to fight, it could be seen that even Gao Shuai did not have confidence in him. To put it bluntly, he was just worried that he would not be able to escape.

However, “Boom!” Chen Yiming threw a punch at the white-robed youth.

He had thought that there was a powerful existence presiding over Flying Cloud City, but it turned out that he was only a second-stage god at the jade star realm.

The surface of his punch was ordinary, but the impact it caused soared into the sky. Before anyone could react, a huge hole appeared in the transparent barrier above Flying Cloud City.

In the blink of an eye, the white-robed youth and the group accompanying him were sent flying on the spot.

In the distance, the few of them had reformed their bodies from their Undying Marks, but their bodies were covered in cracks and could not recover to their original state. It was clear that their Undying Marks were severely damaged.

Looking up again, in the dark space, a half-broken cube of an inner world was floating there. At this moment, it was emitting a fluorescent light as it tried to repair itself.

“…”

The square fell silent.

The white-robed youth at the star condensation realm had almost been blown up along with his inner world. Be it humans or alien species, they were essentially the same. They all knew how to respect the strong.

Disrespectful behavior was equivalent to courting death.

“You…”

Jiang Lan, who had a calm expression on her face, could not hold it in any longer.

It was very unexpected and unbelievable. Although the white-robed youth was nothing much in the entire Hidden Dragon Galaxy, it still depended on who he was compared to.

Compared to geniuses like Jiang Lan, Qin Hongyue, and Yin Jueying, he was just someone ordinary.

However, compared to those who had grown up in an ordinary world, having mastered many secret techniques and built a more complete foundation step by step, he had an all-round advantage.

However, he almost died from a single punch.

On the observation platform, seeing this, Qin Hongyue swept away her previous worries and smiled. “This Fat Man Gao really almost tricked everyone.”

This trick was different from most of the previous ones.

Previously, when the traces of the true dragon were confirmed to be true, everyone was wary of Fat Man Gao using his special ability to find powerful external help. Therefore, they were very cautious when provoking him.

In the end, it was proven to be purely for show, which immediately disappointed countless people.

This time, just as everyone thought that he was trying to trick them again, Fat Man Gao really found someone with a mysterious identity. His actions shocked everyone.

For a human faction like the Qin clan, they could not let Fat Man Gao escape their line of sight. Otherwise, Fat Man Gao might secretly obtain the true dragon’s corpse.

If Fat Man Gao obtained the physique of a true dragon before breaking through to the star condensation realm, coupled with his special prophecy ability, once he broke through to the god realm, the special prophecy ability would be even stronger, and it would even shake up the balance of power in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy.

The gaze of the genius of the Roc clan, Yin Jueying, turned solemn.

In the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, the overall strength of the humans was the strongest. In their hearts, the other species would not want the humans to continue becoming stronger. Otherwise, when the difference reached a certain level, the other species would either leave or choose to become their subordinates.

In reality, if not for the fact that the true dragon’s corpse was very involved, Fat Man Gao would have already faced many rounds of assassinations. How could he still be so lively outside?

The Flying Cloud Square fell silent for a moment, but soon, there was an uproar.

However, amidst the commotion, Jiang Lan’s pupils constricted, and her beautiful face changed drastically. She raised her hand to block the attack and retreated quickly.

“Boom!”

A moment ago, Chen Yiming was still beside Gao Shuai.

In the next moment, his figure traveled through space and arrived in front of Jiang Lan. Without using any fancy moves, he just threw out another punch.

Facing this punch, Jiang Lan’s figure turned into an afterimage and exploded. Then, a fluorescent ribbon was left behind like a rain of light.

The terrifying aftershock of the punch caused the transparent barrier above the city to collapse inch by inch.

At the same time, in the silent dark space, the void was trembling. Although the powerful collision force did not gather at one point, many spatial rifts still appeared.

Behind the spatial rift was the spatial distortion. It was not a place that one could approach at will.

The surrounding humans and alien species gasped, especially Yin Jueying from the Roc Clan. He and Jiang Lan were also known for their speed.

At this moment, he was already comparing in his heart whether he could easily dodge that punch. Or rather, the space-based secret technique behind this punch.

At the moment, there was only a faint spatial fluctuation left behind, and nothing else could be seen.

At this moment, Gao Shuai was also dumbfounded.

In the past, when he used his special prophecy ability to find Chen Yiming, he had only chased after him with his body. It wasn’t like what he was seeing now.

Otherwise, he would definitely have died from the backlash. In the prophecy, the target had received a mysterious enhancement and his combat strength would suddenly increase. He could not be treated as a normal person.

Drip!

The sound of raindrops falling suddenly appeared, and there was a change.

Jiang Lan’s figure appeared in the rain of light and stared fixedly at Chen Yiming. Other than some damage to her plain dress, which the rain of light automatically covered, she was fine.

However, she still looked a little disheveled. After all, Jiang Lan had mastered the secret technique of shrinking the distance on the ground. In the past, she had rarely been ambushed. She had always maintained a calm expression and dodged with a flash.

“I didn’t expect Jiang Lan to not be able to completely dodge it.”

Many people were surprised.

Jiang Lan had been forced to use her best secret technique, but the outcome was like this.

Chen Yiming was surprised at first, then he understood. “I didn’t expect you to be able to react in such a short time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lan was so angry that she almost bit her lip.

What did he mean by that?

It had to be known that in a head-on clash, there might be many people who were stronger than her among those of the same level. However, in terms of agility and speed, she thought that she was among the best at the star condensation realm.

Therefore, how could she not be able to react at all and become like the white-robed youth, whose inner world was almost completely destroyed.

This meant that he was looking down on her.

However, she had also not watched Chen Yiming carefully enough. She was still a little confused.

Soon, another shocking scene occurred. Jiang Lan’s expression suddenly changed drastically, and her figure turned into a rain of light that shot into space.

Chen Yiming’s figure appeared behind Jiang Lan. He stabbed his hand into the pillar of light, and the power of the world surged out to form a sealing cage that immediately trapped the remaining light rain.

He said in a low voice, “It seems like your inner world has also turned into a rain of light, greatly increasing your agility. It’s very difficult to be trapped directly.”

On the blue planet and in the dark forest world, the use of power was very primitive.

For example, the power of nature was mostly used to suppress others with numbers. The power of the world was the same. Most of it was based on the basics.

He had never seen anyone use a secret technique at the level of the power of the world like Jiang Lan. He immediately felt that it was quite novel.

It had to be known that Jiang Lan should not have a spatial talent. Or at most, her spatial perception was not bad, but it was far from being considered a talent.

“That’s the Jiang clan’s secret speed technique, the Rain of Light Technique. It has the spatial attribute.”

In the distance, Gao Shuai shouted, reminding Chen Yiming of the reason why he had been dodged repeatedly. At the same time, he revealed the characteristics of the secret technique, the Rain of Light Technique. It was agile, fast, and had spatial abilities.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming used the power of the world to destroy all the rain of light. He looked up at Jiang Lan, who had appeared from the rain of light.

She could dodge it once or twice.

However, with the space anchor marking her position, could she dodge the crazy attacks from all directions?

When he looked up, the countless gazes were also focused on Jiang Lan. At this moment, they all understood that it should be a true spatial ability.

Since it involved traveling through space, it was useless to keep an eye on Chen Yiming. They should keep an eye on his target, Jiang Lan.

“Damn it!”

Jiang Lan cursed under her breath under the gazes of so many people.

She did not expect that the person Fat Man Gao had found would break through her expectations one after another. Now, even she, the beloved daughter of the Jiang clan, was in a sorry state.

However, despite her anger, she focused her attention on her surroundings and did not dare to relax at all.

On the open-air observation platform,

Qin Hongyue was surprised and asked Yin Jueying, “That person didn’t move at all from the beginning to the end. It must be a pure spatial secret technique or a spatial talent.”

“You’ve sparred with Lanlan many times recently. How is it compared to your Roc clan?”

Yin Jueying came back to his senses. His face almost twitched, and he did not know how to respond.

The Golden Pattern Technique of the Roc clan in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy could develop one’s speed to an extremely high level. One flap of their wings could cover tens of thousands of kilometers. Of course, it involved the spatial attribute.

However, in the end, it was not a spatial ability, just like what Jiang Lan was using.

Facing a true spatial ability user, since the Roc clan was not only good at speed, they would only know who was stronger when they really fought.

Seeing this, Qin Hongyue smiled and said, “I think Lanlan won’t be able to withstand it alone for long. The fact that the rain of light was intercepted is proof of this. Why don’t you join forces with her to test that person’s limits?”
