Chapter 148: Wind God Art (1)

The situation on the field suddenly shifted due to a change in Jin Peng’s tactics.

The previous storm-like close-quarters assault came to an abrupt halt.

Jin Peng’s figure turned into a blurry golden stream of light, beginning to move around Chen Chuan at high speed.

He no longer sought a one-hit kill, but instead used the extreme speed granted by his Golden-Winged Roc Bloodline to pull away from Chen Chuan.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Screech!

Golden feather arrows fell like a torrential rain, occasionally shooting toward Chen Chuan from tricky angles.

Each one contained Great Power Realm Spiritual Power capable of piercing through stone and metal.

Occasionally, he would suddenly close in, striking with a brilliant Jin Peng Claw Print.

Then, before Chen Chuan could counterattack, he would retreat like a teleportation, leaving only a slowly dissipating afterimage and a piercing sonic boom behind.

He was kiting and pulling, trying to exhaust Chen Chuan’s physical and Spiritual Power with minimal cost.

"Hahaha! Did you see that? Senior Brother Jin Peng is getting serious."

"This is the true power of the Golden-Winged Roc Bloodline. With matchless speed, who can compete?"

"No matter how hard Chen Chuan’s turtle shell is, he can only take a beating. I’ll see how long he can last."

"He can’t catch him! He can’t catch him at all. He can only be like a sitting duck, absolutely ridiculous."

Seeing Jin Peng regain control of the battle’s rhythm, the Jin Family Disciples, whose hearts had just been in their throats due to the Spiritual Fire, relaxed and burst into arrogant laughter again.

They seemed to already see the image of Chen Chuan being toyed with by Jin Peng after his strength was exhausted, eventually dying a miserable death.

In contrast, the Chen Family Disciples’ hearts were in their throats once more.

"Too fast! I can’t see his movements at all!"

"Chen Chuan can only defend. At this rate, the Spiritual Power consumption will be too high..."

"Despicable! Fight him head-on if you have the ability."

Worried voices rose one after another. They clenched their fists, wishing they could go onto the field to share the pressure for Chen Chuan.

On the field, Chen Chuan’s expression was calm, and the light of the Eye of Wisdom flowed incessantly in his eyes.

Jin Peng’s speed was indeed far beyond his, and those attacks were also extremely sharp.

But relying on the predictions of the Eye of Wisdom, he could always narrowly avoid vital points.

Or he would block with his arms covered in purple-gold dragon scales, deflecting the attacks to the side.

His defense remained as solid as a rock, airtight. Every block produced the sound of clashing metal and flying sparks.

However, Chen Chuan was clear-headed.

Defending for too long would inevitably lead to failure. The Spiritual Power reserves of the First Level of the Half-Step Great Power Realm were far from comparable to the First Level of the Great Power Realm.

With such passive defense, the Spiritual Power consumption was enormous, and defeat was only a matter of time.

He had to reverse the disadvantage in speed!

Chen Chuan’s consciousness quickly browsed through the System Store, and countless Cultivation Method Secret Manuals flashed by.

Finally, his gaze locked onto a movement technique Secret Manual, the "Wind God Art."

The introduction stated that this method was created from fragments of the Law of Wind. When cultivated to the extreme, one’s body would turn into a breeze, traveling a thousand miles in an instant.

Minor Achievement could increase speed by five times, Mastery by ten times, and the Realm of Perfected could even increase speed by twenty times.

It was the perfect Cultivation Method to solve the current predicament.

The price was ten million gold tickets.

Chen Chuan didn’t hesitate for a moment. With a thought, ten million gold tickets instantly evaporated.

And the complete Inheritance of the "Wind God Art" was already imprinted deep in his soul.

Buzz!

Like an innate instinct, the moment the purchase was successful, his invincible Cultivation talent, which could be called a cheat, activated.

The Profound Truth of the "Wind God Art" flowed through his limbs and bones like a clear spring, and the acupoints throughout his body seemed to resonate with the wind elements of heaven and earth.

Minor Achievement!

Mastery!

Perfected!

The entire process was completed in the blink of an eye. To the outside world, Chen Chuan’s figure only paused slightly.

"What? Can’t hold on anymore? A Half-Step Great Power is just a Half-Step Great Power. An ant is an ant after all."

Jin Peng keenly noticed Chen Chuan’s momentary pause and thought he was at his wit’s end.

He was smug, his speed increasing by another thirty percent. His mocking words accompanied another round of feather arrows.

The laughter of the Jin Family Disciples grew even louder.

However, in the next instant, all the laughter and mockery got stuck in their throats.

Boom!

An invisible airwave erupted outward with Chen Chuan at the center.

Visible green air currents seemed to wrap around his body. That was the power of the wind gathering joyfully.

His figure became blurry.

Whoosh!

The piercing sonic boom sounded again, but this time, the source was Chen Chuan.

He moved!

His speed was far more than ten times faster than before.

Only a slowly dissipating afterimage remained in place.

His true body had already torn through the air like a ghost, instantly crossing a distance of dozens of yards and appearing directly in front of Jin Peng, who was about to change positions.

"What?"

The smugness on Jin Peng’s face instantly froze, turning into extreme horror.

His pupils shrank, almost unable to believe his eyes.

How could this speed be a notch faster than his Jin Peng Extreme Speed?

Moreover, there was still a Realm gap between the two.

In his haste, he didn’t have time to think much.

He could only rely on battle instinct to frantically pour his massive Spiritual Power into his Protective Aura.

Golden light flared, wrapping him like a solid eggshell.

"Defending only now? Too late!" Chen Chuan’s cold voice rang out.

He struck with both hands, and the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame and Myriad Poison Heart-Corroding Flame roared out once more.

But this time it wasn’t a linear attack; instead, they turned into two huge fire vortexes.

One on the left and one on the right, they sealed off all of Jin Peng’s space for evasion, completely surrounding him in a cage of fire.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The strange cold and the bone-corroding poison simultaneously eroded the golden Protective Aura, making a tooth-grating sound.

Although Jin Peng temporarily withstood the direct burning of the flames with his massive Spiritual Power of the Great Power Realm.

But that terrifying power still made his heart pound, his Protective Aura fluctuating violently, its light flickering.

All around was dead silence.

Everyone was stunned by Chen Chuan’s sudden explosion of speed.

"How did his speed suddenly..."

A Jin Family Disciple opened his mouth wide, unable to say the words that followed.

"Impossible! He must have used some forbidden secret technique to force his speed up. It definitely won’t last."

Another Jin Family Elder shouted out in shock.

But his tone already carried a sense of suspicion that he couldn’t even convince himself of.

The Chen Family Disciples, after a brief moment of daze, burst into heaven-shaking cheers.

Although they didn’t understand the reason, Chen Chuan had created a miracle once again.

Chen Chuan stood in the air, surrounded by green air currents.

He looked down at Jin Peng, who was struggling to hold on in the fire, a contemptuous smile appearing on his face:

"Is this the speed you’re so proud of? In front of me, it’s nothing but a joke."

"Dealing with you just now was merely to toy with you."

His voice spread clearly throughout the field, carrying an indisputable dominance: "The game is over. Next, it’s time for your death!"

Hearing this, Jin Peng in the flames was both shocked and furious, but he still forced himself to stay calm and said sharply:

"What boastful talk! I admit your speed exceeded my expectations, but you want to kill me? You’re not qualified yet. If I want to leave, you can’t stop me."

What he said was also a fact. Even if his speed was surpassed, if he focused solely on fleeing, it would indeed be difficult for Chen Chuan to keep a Great Power Realm expert behind.
