Honestly, Zhang Zhiyun was very astonished to hear these words.
Because he couldn’t detect any arrogance in the other person’s speech, the voice was steady, lacking any emotional fluctuations, and there was no provocation in the eyes either—just an ordinary level gaze...
The kind of ordinary, unremarkable level gaze of a peer.
This silence lingered for a long ti on Zhang Zhiyun.
Ever since thirty years ago, when he annihilated the coming army of a hundred thousand in Yundu with a single Thunder Technique, even the Magician seniors from a hundred years ago would treat him with awe, and there were only a few who could et his gaze as equals.
Even strangers, upon learning of his reputation, seldom looked at him with such calm eyes.
This kid...
Without another word, the next instant, the entire sky darkened, at the height of noon, when the weather was that of a sunny spring day. It was such an instantaneous change, triggered solely by Zhang Zhiyun’s emotional fluctuation, that caused the sky to dim.
Inside the Qiankun Hall, everyone looked towards the sky, including Magicians like Chen Qing, whose expressions changed at this mont.
Thunder Technique was difficult, and very few Magicians practiced it, since it depended on celestial phenona. An Art that relied on specific environntal conditions was naturally not the choice of most gifted youths, and yet Thunder Technique demanded a high level of talent.
Influencing the weather was a legend recorded within the Thunder Technique. Inside the Dragon Palace among the Four Seas, only the Dragon King could change the weather, as dragons could command the clouds and rain, but not all dragons had this power. A single thought altering the heavens was a symbol of the highest level of Elental Power control.
"It’s impossible..." Chen Baifeng gasped. "How old is this Zhang Zhiyun? To achieve sothing only the Dragon King can do? Besides, even if Yundu has abundant Spiritual Energy, it wouldn’t be enough to engage power of that level, right?"
Chen Qing looked at the sky, his face showing astonishnt for a very rare occasion.
It wasn’t the young Heavenly Master exhibiting Dragon King Level capabilities that surprised him; in his view, it wouldn’t be too much if behind the Heavenly Master Mansion were Ancient Demons, no number of experts would be too many. Dragon King Level might sound impressive, but it was just the ’ceiling’ of the second version.
And the Ancient Demonic Dynasty had been the overlord of various forces in the history of the third version.
A re Dragon King was just a dish on the nu of top-tier Ancient Demons every morning.
What astonished him was the thod deployed by the other party...
Of course, this was not the Dragon King Level Celestial Phenonon of Heaven-Cloud Formation; changing the Celestial Phenona was the ultimate symbol of version two Elental Magicians. Only Dragon King Level Magicians could freely manipulate Celestial Phenona, which is why Thunder Technique Magicians were a late-ga vocation, requiring talent, resources, and needing to reach the late stages to unleash their full potential.
Even if the opponent possessed such ability, he couldn’t use it now; under the condition of insufficient nature’s spiritual energy, regardless of whether it was the Ghost King or the Dragon King, as long as they dared to use their advanced Divine Skills, the physical burden could directly drag them down; this was a version limitation, which Chen Qing didn’t believe anyone could break.
So, without breaking the limitations of the version, was there a way to change the Celestial Phenonon?
There was...
Chen Qing knew of soone who had managed it!
He still rembered it was on the one hundred and ninety-seventh server of the ga, when a player popped up like a bug, able to use Thunder Technique at will and change the weather even before the Spiritual Energy was abundant. Many had reported him for being under-leveled; he recalled conducting an investigation himself along with the Data Master.
Eventually, they had to issue a notice that this player had not exploited a bug, that he could change the weather during this period using his own unique thod.
Upon the release of this notice, the player was imdiately sought after, but it seed this player had no intention to beco famous or to disclose his technique, leading many ga strears to openly speculate that the player was an unacknowledged bug by the officials.
Only a handful of people, including Pu Yunchuan, knew that the player truly existed and had indeed mastered the application of the Thunder Technique through his own skills!
"Nature’s Heaven-Cloud Formation?"
Shen Yuan gazed at the sky, frowning deeply, then shook his head subconsciously, "Impossible, even if you have the capability, you shouldn’t be able to use it."
Zhang Zhiyun watched the other party with interest; even at this point, the young man remained unflustered. It was his first ti seeing a Magician, unaware of his own depth, remain calm when faced with such a situation.
At this mont, those old fellows in the Qiankun Hall were probably dumbstruck, weren’t they?
Indeed, the Magicians in the Qiankun Hall, one and all, were dumbfounded, faces full of disbelief.
"You are quite composed..." Zhang Zhiyun suddenly felt like talking to his opponent.
"When faced with the unbelievable, panic is of no use. Considering what caused the improbability and trying to analyze it is how one breaks through the situation. Indulging in panic and outright denial is aningless...."
Zhang Zhiyun was startled; the opponent’s words were interesting...
"Did you co up with that yourself, or did soone teach it to you?"
"It was taught by soone else..." Shen Yuan admitted honestly.
To be honest, he didn’t like Chen Qing much, but he had to admit, many tis what he said was correct.
"Is that so?" Zhang Zhiyun smiled and pointed to the sky. The previously overcast heavens suddenly churned like a vast river, and the lightning brewing within cast a brightness across the darkened sky, the energy within alarming all the watching Magicians.
If this thunder were to strike down, it could possibly destroy Yundu.
That was everyone’s most visceral feeling.
Shen Yuan shared this feeling; his eyes grew even more puzzled. Such imnse energy should have been beyond the other’s capacity to wield.
"What’s wrong? Can’t figure it out?" Zhang Zhiyun said coolly, looking at his opponent. Typically indifferent, his eyes now betrayed a rare trace of mockery.
He disliked the other’s calm gaze—a look only peers of the sa level share. This had nothing to do with being calm; this young man... he simply did not yet have the standing!
"I’ve got a hint of an idea," Shen Yuan looked at his opponent, his initial puzzlent now tinged with a trace of a smile, "You can’t possibly be of the Dragon King level. Yundu does not possess the energy to sustain that level; therefore, your power must be a trick. The Heaven-Cloud Formation seems to change the weather, but in reality, it siphons Elental Power, using the Dragon King level Spiritual Power to forcibly condense the water vapor at the clouds and create friction repeatedly to form a Thundercloud. Completing this process in an instant requires enormous Spiritual Power, especially on a clear day when there is already less moisture above the clouds, necessitating the gathering from all around, which implies a coverage of Spiritual Power at least the size of a province!"
"And then?" Zhang Zhiyun squinted his eyes, "Do you think it’s an Illusion Technique?"
"The likelihood of it being an Illusion Technique is low, but it’s not impossible..." Shen Yuan thought for a mont and said, "Why not strike down with it? I’d like to confirm it once and for all."
"Are you sure..." Zhang Zhiyun frowned, "If you withdraw now, I will still let you leave the White Tiger Palace."
"I’ve thought it through..." Shen Yun grinned, "I believe... I have so chance, so please, Senior, don’t hesitate to enlighten !"
"Very well!" Zhang Zhiyun’s eyes turned cold, and then amidst the dark clouds, a trendous bolt of destructive lightning roared down!!
