He could perform Arcana Replication again.

  “The last time I replicated Ling’er’s Five-Element Manipulation Arcana was Thursday of week six. Now it’s Wednesday of week eight. It’s been exactly two weeks, no more, no less!

  “In other words, the cooldown period has reduced to two weeks!

  “After the third awakening, the cooling period has been shortened from two months to two weeks!

  “Not bad at all!”

  Ling Jiu could not be happier. Replicating an Arcana every two weeks meant that he could replicate over 30 Arcanas before he graduated from the training camp.

  Over 30 Arcana…… What would he become by then?

  As Ling Jiu left the cultivation room, Ai Yuhe and Ling’er also emerged from theirs.

  Name: Ai Yuhe

  Species: Human

  Ability: Dimensional Manipulation (awakened, replicable)

  “Replicate!” Ling Jiu then initiated the replication.

  Replication successful. Install?

  Ling Jiu was not in a hurry. He returned to his dormitory first; only then did he begin the process. After some painstaking moments, he finally installed it successfully.

  He suddenly felt the world before him change right then.

  “Is this a dimension?

  “It seems to be comprised of dots, just like how water molecules make up the ocean and various gas molecules make up the atmosphere. Amazing!”

  It stunned Ling Jiu.

  The dimension was very similar to the ocean.

  The difference was that water molecules, salt, and various impurities made up the ocean, while points of silver light made up this space!

  Points of silver light?

  Yes, points of silver light.

  It was dense.

  There were many of them……

  Endless points of silver light.

  Together, they formed the dimension.

  People, animals, air, the earth, and other things that existed in space were just like fish in the ocean. They were the same.

  “Not only can I see these silver light points, but I can seemingly control them if I want to!

  \r \r \r

  “Still!”

  Ling Jiu willed it, and the slow floating “points” came to a standstill in front of him. That caused the dimension to freeze as well.

  “Amazing! I can manipulate the dimension when I control the points.”

  It amazed him so much that he kept repeating the manipulation.

  He directed the points to engulf him, and he disappeared from the spot. The move was very similar to the Dimensional Veil that Ai Yuhe had previously performed.

  Ling Jiu found himself in another place after jumping from one point to another. It was reminiscent of a spatial jump.

  When he manipulated the dimensional points, they formed a dimensional passage.

  “Is this the way to create a dimensional passage? Amazing! Amazing!”

  That night, Ling Jiu studied the Dimensional Arcana enthusiastically.

  Dimensional Arcana used to be something mysterious in his eyes.

  However, once he had mastered it, he found that it was not as incomprehensible as he had thought. He found it much simpler than any other Arcana.

  The reason was, the “points” that made up the dimension were weightless and formless. They were extremely easy to manipulate, even easier than manipulating earth and fire.

  Of course, easy did not equate to weakness. Those two qualities were two different things!

  “I have to see how powerful this Dimensional Arcana is tomorrow.”

  The three of them set off again early the next morning. Ling Jiu was taking it easy this week since they had robbed Christopher and four of his mates last week.

  “We’ll proceed more leisurely this week.” He smiled at the two girls.

  “Obviously0, I won’t stop you if you want to train your combat abilities.”

  “Understood.”

  They then found a group of Class 7 Direbeasts using the Direbeast Radar.

  It was a swarm of Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats, and there were over 1,000 of them.

  The Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats had a wingspan of over 30 meters, and their bodies were covered with dense black hair. Only their eyes were golden, hence the name Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats.

  “Let me first kill a Class 7 Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat!”

  Ling Jiu gave them a heads-up. After that. he lunged at a Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat. Its wingspan was over 60 meters, double the size of the other Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats.

  It was the king of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats, a powerful Class 7 Direbeast far more superior than the ordinary Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats in terms of power, speed, defense, and attack.

  The Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King attacked at once upon sensing the approaching human. It opened its bloody wide mouth and let out a terrifying shrill.

  The burst of sound waves formed circular ripples that were visible to the naked eye as they traveled toward Ling Jiu.

  It was a sonic attack, one of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat’s abilities!

  Its sonic power was so powerful that it could destroy bodies, organs, and even shatter people’s brains. Its power was the most frightful.

  Nevertheless, as powerful as it was, it was not powerful enough to affect the dimension. Ling Jiu shook his head and disappeared into thin air.

  “Is that Dimensional Veil?”

  Ai Yuhe’s heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed quietly when she saw the ability.

  Ling Jiu seemed to have disappeared, but she could clearly see him. He was still standing there and covering himself with a layer of dimensional dots.

  This ability was none other than Dimensional Veil.

  “This guy must have replicated my Dimensional Arcana!”

  Ai Yuhe gritted her teeth. “When did he replicate it? Damn it! He never told me about it!”

  “Yuhe, did you say that my brother replicated Dimensional Arcana?”

  It shocked Yang Ling’er to hear this.

  “He’s performing a Dimensional Veil now, so what do you think? He obviously replicated my Arcana! Shame on him. Thief!” Ai Yuhe hissed.

  “That’s great! Now my brother has also mastered Dimensional Arcana. Your future children will surely inherit this Arcana!” Yang Ling’er pursed her mouth and smiled.

  “What nonsense are you talking about?” Ai Yuhe blushed.

  “Don’t you want your children to inherit Dimensional Arcana?” Yang Ling’er asked, blinking her big round eyes.

  “Of course, I hope so…… Hey! How dare you set me up?”

  Meanwhile, Ling Jiu was hiding in the dimension and creeping toward the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King. When he was no more than 10 meters from it, the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King had yet to discover his presence. At this point, it was obvious that the Dimensional Arcana’s Dimensional Veil was simply nature-defying.

  “Dimensional…… Excision!” Ling Jiu slowly uttered the words.

  The dimension above and below the neck of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King moved in different directions like an apple being sliced in half.

  One half moved to the left, and another half moved to the right.

  The result was fatal. The head of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King was separated from its body.

  Its head smashed onto the ground without the support of its neck, and its massive body struggled for a few moments before crashing down.

  The Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King was as dead as a doornail……

  And it died without making a sound.

  Ai Yuhe saw it and could not help but be impressed. “This guy has just obtained Dimensional Arcana, yet he has already mastered it so well.”

  “My brother is a genius!”

  Yang Ling’er was so proud of him.

  “Get over it. It’s our turn now!”

  Ai Yuhe snorted and launched an attack on the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats in their surroundings.

  “Dimensional Blade!

  “Thunderbolt Fire Spear!”

  The invisible Dimensional Blade pierced through the air like rain along with a bombardment of the purple, almost transparent Fire Spear.

  Not long after, they had wiped out the enormous swarm of Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats. The three collected the Direbeast carcasses and left the area, heading to the next Direbeast gathering point.

  “Yuhe, Ling’er, are you interested in going to Mount Kosciuszko?”

  “Mount Kosciuszko? Ling Jiu, are you looking for the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon? Damn! That’s a Class 8 Direbeast. Your confidence has grown, eh?”

  “It’s not what you think. We can’t kill the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon, but we can steal the Divine Spring of Life.”


  Chapter 134: Stealing the Divine Spring, Pulling a Fast One on the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon

  At a glance, all they saw was a vast expanse of white.

  The undulating peaks were where Mount Kosciuszko was located.

  Ling Jiu was a little anxious as he looked forward to meeting the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon again.

  He was definitely no match for the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. However, he was confident about stealing the Divine Spring of Life under its nose, and it would not be able to do anything about it.

  He sped all the way there. Just as they were about to reach the valley, he asked Ling’er and Yuhe to stay behind and wait while he ventured into the valley alone.

  Atop the snow-capped mountains, where bone-chilling icy winds blew, a valley in spring lay quietly. It was the place where the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon lurked.

  “Here it is!”

  Ling Jiu hid in the dimension and moved to the airspace above the Divine Spring of Life.

  The Divine Spring was rippling, and a white mist was rising from it. It looked extremely beautiful like a crystal-clear gem.

  He reached out to scoop a handful of spring water and drank it. Surging Gene Arcana suddenly exploded within him, and the pores all over his body opened.

  “I knew it! This is liquified Gene Arcana!”

  Ling Jiu was delighted. He took out a Dimensional Pocket and drained the water from the spring.

  A whirlpool appeared out of thin air in the Divine Spring, continuously swallowing the spring water. This sudden movement inevitably alarmed the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon.

  There was an earth-shattering roar as the 100-meter Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon rushed out of the cave beside the spring.

  “It’s coming!”

  Ling Jiu’s body trembled slightly as an instinctive fear rose within him. “I’m hiding in the dimension right now. It won’t see me. Yeah, it can’t find me!” he comforted himself.

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon moved so quickly that it arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. Ling Jiu resisted the urge to flee and squatted motionless on the spot.

  Sure enough, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon did not attack but stare at the Divine Spring of Life in shock and suspicion.

  It had clearly heard something just now, but there was no one there.

  Did it mishear it?

  Ling Jiu held his breath and looked at the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon closed by. He could feel the Direbeast’s terrifying aura and powerful strength.

  Those hideous scales……

  \r \r \r

  The horn on its head……

  The claws under its belly……

  Its three ferocious heads……

  Its fiery breath……

  In terms of looks and manners alone, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon was a notch higher than the Celestial Magical Cat. He could not imagine that these two completely different creatures were of the same Direbeast class.

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon stared at Divine Spring for a long time. After detecting no movement, it left with doubts hanging over its head.

  “It can’t see me!”

  Ling Jiu chuckled. “This Dimensional Arcana really does come in handy. But I have to finish this quickly!“

  He moved to the bottom of the Divine Spring and created a huge dimensional tunnel. The spring water poured through the tunnel, like water breaking through an embankment, as he directed it all into his Dimensional Pocket.

  The noise once again alarmed the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. It roared incessantly especially when it saw the rapidly dwindling Divine Spring of Life.

  Three pairs of enormous eyes scanned the surroundings, looking for the thief who had stolen the Divine Spring of Life, yet the dragon found nothing.

  No matter how hard it tried, it still could not locate the thief.

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon was as helpless as it was shocked, desperate, and furious. It could only watch the Divine Spring reduce little by little and finally dry up completely.

  The Direbeast went mad and erupted in continuous roars.

  Its hatred toward the thief had reached an unprecedented level at that moment.

  It would surely torture the thief and shred his body into pieces to express its hatred if it found the thief.

  Sadly, it could not find the thief, let alone punish it.

  This beast has gone mad!

  Ling Jiu had drained all the water from the Divine Spring of Life. He looked at the red-eyed Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon and quietly had a good laugh. I’ve stolen your spring water as a punishment for pursuing me and stirring up a beast tide.

  I wonder if my Dimensional Arcana can restrain the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon.

  A thought occurred to him, and he immediately froze the dimensional points around the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. The freezing of the dimensional points meant that this dimension had been locked down.

  Sure enough, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon was immediately restrained in place.

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon quickly realized this. It quickly fought back and broke free from the Dimensional Shackle instantly.

  This Class 8 Direbeast is too strong! But……

  Ling Jiu sighed quietly as he released a Dimensional Field that covered a radius of 500 meters, enveloping the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon instantly.

  “Dimensional Shackle!” Ling Jiu shouted under his breath.

  With the buff bonus in the power field, the strength of his Dimensional Shackle increased by five times. The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon fought back again.

  However, it was stuck like a bison in a quagmire this time, unable to break free at all. It continued to struggle for three or four seconds before it broke free from the Dimensional Shackle at last.

  Ling Jiu was pleased despite failing to restrain the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon.

  “The fact that I could subdue it for three or four seconds is good enough, considering the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon is a Class 8 Direbeast.”

  Three or four seconds mattered a lot in a duel between masters.

  “I’ll try again.”

  Ling Jiu took out a piece of silver metal and formed a sharp, long sword.

  “Dimensional Shackle!”

  The move confined the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon in place.

  “Die!”

  He thrust the long sword into the eye of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. The silver metal was only an Ultimate-class Treasure of Heaven and Earth, while the creature in front of him was a Class 8 Direbeast.

  Ling Jiu was not sure if he could pierce through the Direbeast with a sword, so he attacked the most fragile part: the eyes.

  His decision did not disappoint. The long sword instantly penetrated the eye of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon, but that was all.

  The muscles behind the eye were extremely compact and tough, preventing the long sword from going deeper into the head.

  “Tungsten Form!”

  Ling Jiu knew he had little time on his hands. He cast Tungsten Form with no hesitation and hit the hilt of the long sword with a punch that took all his strength.

  The punch hit the long sword like a hammer, nailing the sword a little deeper into the eye.

  Unfortunately, that was as far as it could go before it got stuck again.

  “It’s not working! The muscles of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon are too tough. It’s too difficult to kill it!”

  He wanted to pull out the long sword and retreat, but the long sword was stuck in the dragon’s eyes. At the same time, the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon had broken free from the Dimensional Shackle.

  “I can’t get it out!”

  Ling Jiu quickly hid within the dimension again.

  The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon looked into the sky and roared. Then it grabbed the long sword with its claws, pulled it out of its eyes, and flung the sword into the mountain wall.

  Ling Jiu ran toward the mountain wall and took out the long sword before he fled with his tail between his legs. The Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon had gone berserk, so he figured it best to run.

  He flew as quickly and far as he could until he could no longer hear the roar of the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

  “The Dimension Arcana works great. It can even give a terrifying being like the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon a hard time.”
