Chapter 1367 - 1367: Grasped Concept
The Golden Storm above his head started compressing in itself, getting denser.
Within a few seconds, the storm had taken the shape of a golden sword that was a thousand feet long and fifty feet wide. Specks of golden light could be seen spinning around on the surface of the sword.
The Heavenly Emperor raised his hand before clenching his fist.
As soon as he brought his clenched fist down, the golden sword also came crashing down towards Zhu Gong.
The sword was filled with the chaotic origin energy of the Heavenly Emperor that looked like it could split the entire world in half if it wanted.
"Not bad at all," Zhu Gong exclaimed. "You've certainly grown stronger."
He also clenched his fist firmly. He went down on one knee before punching the ground.
Boom~
The ground trembled with the impact of his fist, ultimately falling down.
A crack appeared all around Zhu Gong from which came a dark blue light that formed a spherical barrier around Zhu Gong as if it was a shell of a turtle.
There was also a pitch-black spell carved on the top of the barrier, which was also forming an image of a title.
The barrier was smaller than the sword and covered less area as well, but it was filled with just as much energy, if not more.
Boom!
The sword and the barrier met.
...
A Spatial Portal appeared in front of Zhu Chang, and two people stepped out.
"That was a pretty strong attack. It was good that we chose an abandoned world. No one would notice that it was split in half," Zhu Gong let out, laughing.
The Heavenly Emperor rolled his eyes.
He looked at Zhu Chang. "You have two days. Search anywhere you want. But don't create any more trouble for me by letting any prisoners out."
After finishing speaking, the Heavenly Emperor disappeared.
He appeared in the boundary of the Prison and started casting the barrier again, which was destroyed previously.
Since Zhu Gong was here, this barrier was ineffective anyway. It could at least control the prisoners.
After returning the barrier to its former glory, the Heavenly Emperor appeared before Zhu Gong again. "I'm sure you know the way to leave. Don't destroy the barrier."
"If you need anything else in these two days, my general will stay with you. You can tell him."
"You aren't staying with us?" Zhu Gong asked.
The Heavenly Emperor rolled his eyes. He didn't reply and simply turned to his General. After issuing some commands, he ultimately disappeared.
"Congratulations on winning, father." Zhu Chang exclaimed, stepping forward. "I'll get to searching."
"It wasn't a victory. It wasn't a battle between the two. As you can see, I have a good defense, but my attack isn't great," Zhu Gong answered.
"On the contrary, he has a great attack. Still, in a battle of shield and sword, the shield will always be left standing. That won't mean the shield won the battle. It's just an inherent advantage in our ability for such things," he further added.
"So don't take it as my victory or his defeat. This small exchange isn't proof of what might happen in a real battle. No one should underestimate the Heavenly Emperor. He's said to be a force to be reckoned with for a reason." He sighed, shaking his head. "Anyway, go ahead with the search. Your uncle will be accompanying you."
...
In the outside world, Zhu Chang began the search for Long Chen. In the meantime, Long Chen was sitting in the middle of the air, trying to comprehend the hard theory of Spatial Chaos.
It was slightly hard, but because of his understanding of the space, which was already pretty good, he was able to understand some aspects of the skill, which gave him a slight advantage in this.
Time kept passing like it was at a race against itself. Minutes turned to hours and hours to a day.
He hadn't even realized that a day was already over here.
The next day also arrived sooner than he would have wanted.
The old man kept looking at Long Chen firmly,
"Only five hours left. I wonder how much he would be able to grasp. Could he understand the core of it? If it's even the slightest comprehension, that would be a miracle in itself since he chose that skill. I wonder if his advantage in the field of space will materialize or not."
Before long, five hours were also over.
The man appeared before Long Chen, smiling. "Time over kid. It's time to wake up."
Even though he spoke, Long Chen was so immersed; he didn't wake up. He didn't even realize that the old man had spoken.
The old man clapped lightly, sending a strange vibration in the air which brought Long Chen out of his immersion.
Long Chen opened his eyes and looked at the old man. "Is the time over?"
"It is. Your two days were over about two minutes ago. You can't be given any more time. So, did you succeed?" The old man asked.
"I don't know about success, but I did get some insights into the Chaos. However, I don't know if that much is enough to succeed in the test," Long Chen muttered, sighing.
"Show me what you grasped. If it's something even close to what I was asking, then I'll give you a pass. However, if it's not even close, you'll be sent out the way you came. Moreover, I'm not sure if you know it or not, but the trouble is waiting for you outside. So you might want to pass."
"Trouble? What do you mean?"
"Someone was calling for you. And that isn't a good thing in this prison because only your friends and your enemies would call you with that intensity. And I have a feeling it was the latter. So you should pass if you want to be capable of saving yourself in danger."
"It must be Gu Chen. He must be looking for me to ask me how much I grasped. I only know two people here. I haven't interacted with anyone else. One of the two knows that I'm on the trial. So it can only be the second," Long Chen exclaimed. "I doubt there's any danger waiting for me."
"But still, if I could have an easy way out of the prison, I'll take it! So tell me, what do I have to do? Show you the skill or what I learned from it?"
"That's right. Demonstrate your skill to me. Destroy this spatial realm where this trial is going on, using your newly learned skill.. And if you succeed, you'll get what you were looking for."
