Chapter 41: Accelerated Synchronization
Twenty near-Mystic Lord level experts, surrounding a single One Star Mystic Lord, unleashing their Extreme Flame Swords. There was nowhere to escape.
Feeling the intense heat, the middle-aged man in blue robes was on the verge of collapse. He couldn’t understand why he couldn’t move, or why Yan Zhen’s power had suddenly skyrocketed. He didn’t have time to think.
He only knew that before the swords struck, he had to desperately activate his Mystic Power, deploy his defensive Mystic Tools, and utilize every means to protect himself.
However, even a single Yan Zhen was nearly as strong as him now, let alone twenty!
Twenty ten-meter-long Extreme Flame Swords, like giant cleavers, descended upon him.
Boom!
A massive explosion shook the very space, a gold and silver mushroom cloud erupting on the translucent dueling platform, a pillar of fire piercing the sky, a scorching shockwave spreading outwards, sending debris flying, blinding everyone, nearly uprooting the courtyard’s vegetation.
A single attack from someone of the same realm naturally couldn’t defeat a Mystic Lord. Yan Zhen, not giving his opponent a chance to recover, activated his Star Shifting Fire Seal, grabbed the man’s shoulder, and dragged him into the Fire Refining Starry Sky, tossing him beyond the Heavenly Pillar.
Beyond the Heavenly Pillar, amidst the vast expanse of stars, countless burning stars revolved endlessly.
Chen Xi controlled a meteor, sending it crashing into the middle-aged man. A single strike shattered his bones, rendering him unconscious.
Yan Zhen, his expression grim, grabbed the man, leaving the crystal space. He flicked his wrist, extinguishing the Gold and Silver Fire blazing on the platform.
As the commotion subsided, and their vision cleared, everyone looked up.
Only one Yan Zhen remained, standing in the center of the dueling platform, his Mystic Power blazing like a true Extreme Flame. He held the unconscious middle-aged man by the neck, lifting him up, then slowly turned, his cold gaze, like bolts of lightning, piercing Master Mo Lan.
All eyes followed his gaze, focusing on Master Mo Lan.
Master Mo Lan, still stunned, his eyes wide, his lips opening and closing like a fish out of water, couldn’t comprehend the sudden turn of events.
He and his close friend, two Mystic Lord realm experts, together… they should have been able to sweep through the Sunward Kingdom. Even if they couldn’t win, no one should be able to stop them.
Yet his friend, the Vice Sect Master of the Water Flower Sect, a powerful figure in his own right, had been defeated in an instant.
He was alone, facing a hostile crowd…
The Ji family had two Ninth Star Mystic Kings, Aunt Mu and Ji Lin, plus several other Mystic Kings, as well as numerous Mystic Generals and Mystic Scholars among the guests.
He swallowed nervously, then, without hesitation, soared into the air, fleeing at high speed.
He might be a Grand Instructor of the Sacred Ground Academy, and no one, except for the Demonic Cultivators from the Demon Realm, would dare kill him, but not being killed didn’t mean he couldn’t be beaten up. Staying here would only result in a painful experience.
As for his friend, he had been severely injured by Yan Zhen, his life hanging by a thread. He would leave it to the Water Flower Sect to seek revenge.
He wasn’t a coward. He simply hadn’t expected this young boy to be so powerful, hiding his true strength, pretending to be a Mystic Scholar to lure him into a trap. How outrageous!
…
Among the crowd, the Hundred Mile City Mystic Academy Headmaster and the Second and Third Shopkeepers were dumbfounded. Master Mo Lan had abandoned his friend and them, fleeing alone?
What were they waiting for? They had to run!
The Headmaster was the second to flee.
The two Shopkeepers also tried to escape, but Aunt Mu intercepted them, while Jin Tong and Yu Nu blocked their retreat.
Ji Ya waved her hand.
“Tie them up.”
They cried out in protest.
“Ji Ya, how dare you use force against us?! You’re breaking the Chamber’s rules! The protector elders won’t let you get away with this!”
“You vicious woman! You think you can step on us just because you found a powerful pretty boy–”
Their words only annoyed her. With the strength Yan Zhen had just displayed, even the three protector elders would be wary of him.
Jin Tong and Yu Nu, sensing her intentions, slapped them across their faces with their swords, knocking out their teeth, blood splattering.
The Ji family members stepped forward, dragging the two annoying flies away.
…
Moments later, Yan Zhen landed, carrying the unconscious middle-aged man, tossing him aside.
His body was still enveloped in a terrifying Mystic Power, comparable to a Mystic Lord, a hint of Emperor’s Aura within it, making everyone feel a sense of submission.
— System, that’s enough.
[Acknowledged.]
The Duel Disk vanished, and his borrowed power receded, the oppressive aura dissipating.
He swayed, nearly losing his balance, his meridians aching.
No matter how talented he was, he was still only a Mystic Scholar. His body, especially his meridians, couldn’t handle such a massive power boost for long. He could barely unleash a single attack before reaching his limit. That’s why he had dragged his opponent into the Fire Refining Starry Sky, letting his Beautiful Sect Master handle him.
Ji Ya and Yi Xian’er rushed to his side, supporting him.
“Are you alright, Yan Zhen?”
“I’m fine.” He pressed a hand against his forehead. “I just overexerted myself a bit. Give me a moment.”
“…Should I help you back to your room, Older Sister?”
“Okay.”
They left the hall, followed by Jin Tong, Yu Nu, and Aunt Mu.
The guests, both from the Ji family and other factions, watched them leave, their hearts filled with awe. They hadn’t expected Ji Ya’s fiancé to be such a terrifying prodigy.
Whether or not he had used some secret technique, the fact that he could defeat a Mystic Lord at the Mystic Scholar realm was a testament to his power!
And he was so young, only fifteen or sixteen years old! It was unimaginable what he would achieve in the future!
The Ji family, not only had they produced Ji Ya, but she had also found such a powerful husband. They were destined for greatness.
Ji Lin chuckled, while the others’ expressions varied.
…
In Ji Ya’s room, Yan Zhen lay naked on the bed, flanked by two beautiful naked bodies.
Ji Ya, utilizing her cauldron physique, had dual cultivated with him, soothing his aching meridians. He felt much better now.
However, without his “essence” to replenish her, she had only managed two rounds before collapsing, falling into a deep sleep.
Only Yi Xian’er remained, diligently “comforting” him.
He couldn’t refuse, so he allowed her to do as she pleased, his attention focused on the system interface.
He had successfully completed the system’s task, receiving a new Special Trump Card as a reward.
[Special Trump Card: Accelerated Synchronization. Upon activation, allows Host’s consciousness to surpass the speed of light, summoning Host’s familiars from the past, present, and future to unleash a devastating attack.]
— This seems… powerful.
He remembered that in the script, he would indeed have many powerful “followers” in the future , including the Dragon Girl, who could transform between human and dragon forms. Although she preferred to address him as “brother,” she had also signed a familiar contract with him, essentially becoming his personal mount.
