NOVEL NEXT Chapter 140: Spell, Snowfall._2
He stood frozen in place, instinctively glancing back at his surroundings.
He discovered that not a single person had responded to his call to action. Only he had dashed forward. In his expectation, everyone would have charged together, mingling in the chaos without a clear tell on who landed the final blow. The matter would then be easily brushed off amidst the confusion.
But to his surprise, those Xia Country cultivators were so timid, not one followed suit. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
Moreover, even his fellow countrymen cultivators were nowhere to be found, vanished without a trace.
...
"..."
The Xia Country cultivators who were spectating from afar, looking toward that awkward figure standing in the middle of the clearing, couldn't help but slightly twitch at the corners of their mouths. This other-nation cultivator typically must not have watched Chen Qiu's shadow enough.
If you had only watched a few more.
At least...
Not to say whether you would charge or not, but you certainly wouldn't have uttered the phrase "the law does not punish the masses."
They were almost certain that if they dared to charge forward, as many as went would die right there.
You're bold, you go ahead.
As for them, they dare not charge.
Even the cultivator from the Hundred Countries silently slipped out of the crowd and fled without looking back, darting afar like he was running for his life. They didn't understand why their comrade suddenly became so brave, though they knew he was always quite fearless.
But, couldn't he give them a heads-up before being brave next time?
...
The Golden Core cultivators standing within the crowd watched the sword-wielding, other-nation cultivator at the center of the plaza with expressionless faces, sighing deeply inside, and couldn't help but lament how ignorance was truly fearless.
Their Divine Sense attack as Golden Core cultivators, isn't it faster than you charging with a sword at the Foundation Establishment stage?
Guess why with such fast Divine Sense attacks they did not make a move?
That wasn't a treasure falling from the sky.
That was the Yama Rope taking lives.
Who would dare to touch it?
If these Golden Core cultivators dare not touch it, you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, sure charge fast. This kind of temperament is indeed well-suited for cultivation, fearless and unswerving. But it is... not suitable for longevity.
...
Chen Qiu, with an indifferent expression, glanced at the male cultivator stuck in the middle of the square without lingering much. He simply held up the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, his gown howling in the storm as he turned to walk away.
Fat Long also hurried to turn and leave.
Only the scholar looked toward the male cultivator with a sighing tone, "Sword cultivator, that's not how you play the game."
The forefinger trembled slightly, and a green light flashed and disappeared.
By the time he turned around to follow Chen Qiu, the male cultivator's pupils had already begun to gradually disperse, his body limply collapsing onto the ground. After a few moments, a red line slowly appeared on his neck, and blood followed the line, eventually forming a pool.
...
Back at the highest peak of Pingzhou, Chen Qiu looked up at the panel enveloped in clouds and mist above his Dantian.
-
"You caused 100% damage to the hidden Year Beast, obtaining the high-grade Golden Core spell 'Snowfall,' and an Enlightenment Stone."
"You struck the final blow on the hidden Year Beast, obtaining 'Heavenly Light Wind Boots.'"
-
"A new spell?"
Chen Qiu's eyebrows rose as he stared at the high-grade Golden Core spell "Snowfall" in front of him, sensing it with his Divine Sense without speaking. This spell was produced by Heavenly Dao, so likewise, once mastered, it would be at the Great Achievement Realm.
Even the Enlightenment Stone was ready.
Directly at the Great Perfection Realm.
With his current financial resources, he could technically learn many spells, but he essentially didn't bother buying spells produced by the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, mainly because some seemed unnecessary. Even at the Great Perfection Realm, those spells weren't as strong as his Thunder Summoning Technique.
Why should he learn spells that were not as strong as the Thunder Summoning Technique?
The biggest drawback of the Thunder Summoning Technique used to be that it was only suitable for dealing with a large number of weaker small fry; it lacked power when facing opponents with higher cultivation. But now, with the entry "All Techniques Combined," even that drawback was gone.
There's no longer a need for numerous spells, specializing is sufficient.
He always felt that he could use the Thunder Summoning Technique until the day he died.
But... he suddenly felt he might also pick up "Snowfall."
It was a supportive spell.
Not an attack spell.
Its effect was simple, allowing snow to fall over an area roughly the size of a village, and the snowflakes landing on the enemy would freeze their Spiritual Energy.
It would cause the enemy's internal flow of Spiritual Energy to slow down.
This would result in a decrease in spell power, casting speed, absorption of Spiritual Energy, and movement technique speed, among others.
Additionally, as more and more snowflakes gather on them, they could even freeze in place.
It's a small-scale group supportive control spell.
However...
This is for ordinary people.
Chen Qiu chuckled to himself, tucking the Magic Jade Scroll of "Snowfall" inside his robe, prepared to make it his third official spell. This spell was indeed a regular Magic Practitioner's spell.
It was a spell that many Golden Core cultivators would learn.
In other words, it was his first genuine Magic Practitioner's spell.
With "Dual Casting," "Ten Layers of Spellcasting," "Illusion and Reality," and the surging Spiritual Energy inside him, if he fully unleashed this spell, he estimated that a few hundred miles around could be engulfed in snow.
To experience the romance of winter days.
...
He then looked at his other gain, the Heavenly Light Wind Boots.
Also a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure.
The effect was quite impressive, able to enhance his movement technique to a certain extent. It allowed his "Shrink the Earth to an Inch" technique to cover greater distances, and his Teleportation speed to be faster.
