What's going on?
Chen Yun stared blankly at Shen Yuan, whose expression remained unchanged.
I also found it strange earlier. Even if someone has a cold personality, they couldn't possibly have that grumpy expression the whole time before they die, right?
The feel of a heart that can be crushed is unmistakable; just who is this guy?
A sense of crisis surged into Chen Yun's heart, and he suddenly tried to retreat, but found that his hand could not be pulled out!
The feeling was strange. It didn't feel like my hand was stuck; rather, it felt like my whole body was trapped in a very small space, making it impossible to exert any force.
What did you do?
"I just made some preparations beforehand." Shen Yuan unbuttoned his clothes in front of the other party. Only then did everyone see that Shen Yuan's upper body was covered in runes, and although black blood was flowing out from the place where he was stabbed in the chest, there were obvious signs of spatial distortion. Chen Yun's hand that pierced the other party's chest was obviously in another space!
Drawing spatial arrays on one's body?
Su Changqing, watching from a distance, was completely dumbfounded; he had never imagined that a warlock could be like this.
Chen Yun was also dumbfounded. Even if it was aimed at him, was this really necessary?
"You idiot, you don't think I'm doing this specifically to target you, do you?" Shen Yuan said coldly.
Chen Yun looked up blankly, his face full of confusion.
"I don't have the talent of Yun Ke'er and the Dean. They can activate the surrounding formations at any time to prevent martial artists from sneaking up on us, but I can't. My reaction is a beat slower. If I use the same method, I'll be beaten so badly that I won't even recognize myself if I encounter a powerful martial artist."
"So I came up with a new method. Martial artists usually choose to finish a fight quickly when facing a sorcerer like me, so the moment of close combat is fatal. I will specially inscribe spatial runes on the vital points of my body. As long as the opponent moves my body, whether with their hands or weapons, they will not be able to hurt me. Instead, they will be sealed in that space. In that short moment, I will have time to react and activate the necessary formations."
"You really are a ruthless person," Chen Yun sneered. "But I clearly felt it, I clearly crushed your heart."
"It's not my heart," Shen Yuan said calmly. "It's a pig's. In that space, I precisely calculated the location and placed a simulated human chest cavity there. It contains bones, flesh, blood vessels, and even a heart. So when you entered the space I arranged, you accurately felt what you thought was a heart!"
"What's the point of doing this?" Chen Yun was stunned.
"You were too careless," Shen Yuan laughed. "The realistic feel of the weapon will make you martial artists think you've succeeded. At this point, you'll most likely stop and wait to see how I die. That's the instinct of most people. You're not human, but I didn't expect you to have such instincts."
Chen Yun: "."
I actually fell for the same group of people twice?
A surge of shame and anger welled up in Chen Yun's mind, his face contorted into a ferocious expression, and he roared as he reached out with his other hand to grab Shen Yuan's head.
But when they tried to grab him, Shen Yuan was nowhere to be found.
Only a blurry figure remained in the same spot.
When he tried to struggle again, he found his entire body was being bound and shrunk, turning into a fragment that fell into Shen Yuan's hand.
" Space Trap are unlikely to catch martial artists as skilled as you. With your speed, if you slightly divert your attention and notice the elemental fluctuations around you, it's impossible for them to catch you. After all, it's unrealistic to expect you to stay obediently in one place for three breaths within a fixed range."
When he first learned about this, he thought it was somewhat useless. This Space Trap looked very powerful; once a martial artist of the same level was trapped, it was almost impossible for them to escape. However, the conditions for catching someone were extremely demanding. The range was less than three meters, and the person had to wait in place for several breaths. During this time, it would also emit abnormal elemental fluctuations. Only a fool would fall for it.
Only Chen Qing could always come up with ways to utilize it. He was right; there are only useless people, not useless techniques. With proper application, how could there be any useless techniques?
Just like now, the other party's attention was all on him, and since he killed a warlock, he wouldn't suspect any slight energy fluctuations, because that's a normal reaction for a warlock before death.
Perhaps no one imagined that it would be a desperate counterattack.
Tsk tsk
Shen Yuan glanced at Chen Yun, who was roaring madly in the fragments, and sighed. Too many people had seen this this time. Once too many people saw this method, it wasn't a killer move anymore. So, he really had no interest in any public competitions or anything like that.
Thinking this, he decided to put away the fragments and, once this trial was over, take them to his master to ask what kind of thing they were.
"Mortal." Seeing that the other party was about to put away the fragments, Chen Yun finally couldn't help but speak up, "Let me go and I'll tell you a secret. This secret can give you what you've always dreamed of!"
"Do you know what I've been dreaming of?" Shen Yuan asked with amusement.
"Eternal life!!"
Upon hearing this, countless people outside the venue fell silent.
"Oh, this thing? I'm really not that interested." Shen Yuan laughed. "Maybe it's because I'm not old yet, I don't have that kind of anxiety. I think next time you could find an old man and try tempting him."
Everyone: "."
"Brother Shen!" Su Changqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the monster had really been sealed away. Looking at the unharmed Shen Yuan, he felt a complex mix of emotions.
He had seen Shen Yuan before at the academy. He was just one of those ordinary people who had no talent and were struggling meaninglessly. He had met many people like this. Many direct descendants of families were unwilling to accept that they did not have the talent of a sorcerer, and Shen Yuan was no exception.
Back then, I advised the other person to find other strengths, which was better than wasting time on meaningless things and eventually becoming someone who only did mundane tasks.
He was the first to listen to advice and actually became the second-highest scorer in the exam, which he found amazing at the time.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he has become such a remarkable person.
The monster that he was so afraid of that he didn't even dare to fight was easily defeated by the other party.
At that moment, he suddenly understood a saying from his ancestor, "You are so capable because of good luck, not because you are more outstanding than others. You were born into a good family and have good talent. But one day when others also have the opportunity to obtain the same talent, you will find that there are many, many people who are more outstanding than you."
In retrospect, the old man's words were not without reason.
"Oh, Brother Su, you weren't frightened, were you?" Shen Yuan looked at the other person. He still had a lot of goodwill towards Su Changqing, the person who had once advised him to give up the sorcerer profession and take the imperial examination. After all, back in the academy, there weren't many talented students who were kind to him.
"I was quite surprised by Brother Shen's words." Su Changqing smiled wryly, then asked, "How did you begin to suspect Chen Yun, Brother Su?"
The other party's early return must have meant they sensed something, something they hadn't even noticed themselves. He was curious how the other party had figured it out.
"I spent some time with Chen Yun before," Shen Yuan said calmly. "Although I didn't particularly like him, I knew he wasn't the type to shift blame onto my mother, so I had some doubts and decided to come back and see for myself."
"Oh?" Su Changqing was taken aback, then said, "I see."
He couldn't help but feel ashamed. Others, being outsiders, had only met Chen Yun a few times at the Warlock Academy, yet they were able to judge his personality. But he himself, having spent so many years with Chen Yun, hadn't noticed anything at all.
Looking back now, what the ancestor said was spot on. Putting aside the sorcerer's talent, Shen Yuan was far superior to me.
At this moment, Chen Yun, who was in the fragment, was also stunned. He never expected that the one who understood him was Shen Yuan, whom he had once looked down upon.
A surge of incredibly complex emotions welled up inside me.
Su Changqing sighed, and was about to say a few more words of reflection when a dragon's roar suddenly soared into the sky in the distance. The three of them immediately looked over and saw a beam of azure light, which was clearly related to the Azure Dragon Rune.
"It seems the Azure Dragon Gate has opened." Shen Yuan frowned, looking into the distance. " Zhang Xiaoyun is an extremely dangerous person. I wonder if White Plain will be able to escape unscathed."
"I told you you had your eye on her." Dong Fang chuckled slyly.
"Roll"
