Chapter 1241: Chapter 772: The Storm Descends_2
He just stood there like a punching bag, allowing the opponent to continuously execute moves on him.
Half a minute later, once it was confird that Chu Mo’s defensive barrier had absolutely no weak points, the woman gave up on these ineffective attacks. She imdiately changed her tactic. The woman did a backflip to a position two ters away from Chu Mo’s side, and then, with a light point towards the sky, she said coldly:
“Ice Arrows!”
As her words fell, the temperature in the entire bar dropped sharply, causing many of the patrons to take a step back at the sa ti.
When Chu Mo looked up, he saw a golden magical array appearing two ters above his head, and at the center of the array, pristine ice and frost began to form.
The reason for the rapid drop in temperature in the hall was exactly because the array above was continuously producing ice and snow.
This was the first ti Chu Mo had seen a system owner wield a system artifact.
Two hours ago, at the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel in the magical city, a middle-aged man nad Yu Le used a low-level Fire Dragon Talisman to summon a fire dragon with a temperature reaching thousands of degrees.
But now, the ponytailed woman in front of him had summoned a world of frost.
Unlike the previous Fire Dragon Talisman, Chu Mo’s system store also had Fire Dragon Talismans, as well as Water Dragon Seals, which could be purchased infinitely with the corresponding Divinity Riches value.
However, the frost magic array the woman in front of him was forming was not for sale in Chu Mo’s system store.
That ant her system must be quite different from his own.
But Chu Mo was not worried. The fire dragon at Tianxiang Garden earlier hadn’t been able to break through his protective barrier, and the frost magic array in front of him seed to be just a low-level artifact as well. Chu Mo didn’t believe the opponent could shatter his defense.
And just as Chu Mo was assessing the situation, the array of frost above him was completed.
anwhile, thick as a child’s arm, ice arrows began to form.
In the next mont, as the ponytailed woman’s mouth corners slightly curled up, a hint of crimson flashed in her eyes, and she whispered:
“Sword Rain.”
With the gentle saying falling, the array above Chu Mo’s head released a barrage of thick ice arrows shooting down rapidly, hamring onto the barrier in front of Chu Mo in a terrifying manner.
The snow-condensed ice arrows were obviously extrely solid, and at the mont they were fired from the array, their speed was also enhanced. When the arrow rain touched the barrier, the entire barrier exhibited a faint ripple, and as the ripple dissipated, the ice arrows also turned directly into vapor, vanishing without a trace.
At the sa ti, following the launch of the first ice arrow, an endless stream of arrows in the array also rapidly ford and shot out. In just the blink of an eye, at least dozens of arrow rains had already reached near the barrier.
Following a series of teeth-grating impacts, the fearso arrow rain continued to strike the barrier, and with each ripple emitted from the barrier, the ice arrows disappeared, then reford, and were fired again.
Half a minute later, the intensity of the array above began to weaken, and as the energy of the array depleted, the last freshly ford arrow rain, without the control of the array, shot straight towards the ground next to Chu Mo. With a muffled sound, the floor in front of Chu Mo was pierced by the ice arrow, leaving a bowl-sized hole two centiters deep.
Only at this point did a burst of discussion erupt in the hall.
“Grade B defense system!”
With a casual remark from the bar owner with squinty eyes, it was as if a conclusion had been set for Chu Mo.
At this mont, Chu Mo turned his gaze towards the ponytailed woman, raising his eyebrows slightly, he said:
“Do you want to continue?”
The woman imdiately waved her hand, returning to her bar stool, while speaking with a pained expression:
“No more fighting, no more fighting, like a damn turtle shell, wasting my talisman for nothing… Bartender, another drink.”
“`
At this mont, seeing that there was no more spectacle to witness, the guests around once again settled back into calmness.
Chu Mo gently waved his hand, retracting his defensive barrier, and glanced at the woman who had once again tilted her head back to drink, a bitter smile flickering in his eyes.
Ordinarily, if Chu Mo were treated this way, he would certainly seek retribution. It wouldn’t be enough to just ruin soone—it would at least require the offender to kneel and apologize.
However, the environnt here was ultimately different from the outside world.
This was a gathering place for system owners, where everyone possessed a system just like him, and so might even be more terrifyingly powerful than himself. To say nothing of the bartender, this middle-aged man with squinted eyes, who had an S-rank rating.
While Chu Mo didn’t understand the aning of these ranking levels, his own defense barrier had just been rated as B-rank, which suggested that the others were likely not to be trifled with either.
Moreover, the ponytailed woman in front of him had only used a low-level artifact just now. Chu Mo didn’t yet know her true strength. If she casually pulled out a high-level artifact, even though Chu Mo might be able to withstand it, it would likely cost him tens of thousands of Wealth Points, hardly worth the loss.
Therefore, although Chu Mo felt so dissatisfaction towards the woman, he also didn’t want to stir up more trouble at this juncture.
Chu Mo’s gaze shifted; it was his first ti stepping into Tianxiang Garden. His main task now was to blend in here while investigating what other people’s systems were like and what kind of skills they had.
“This drink is on !”
As the bartender spoke softly, Chu Mo imdiately turned around, but to his shock, ti seed to have stopped in the entire Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, including the ponytailed woman and Yu Wenjing—everyone had frozen in place.
Chu Mo instinctively looked up and noticed that the clock on the wall opposite, which had been ticking away ceaselessly, had also stopped moving.
In the whole Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel hall, it seed that only Chu Mo and the bartender could move freely.
“This is my domain, Ti Stop.”
The man apparently noticed the confusion in Chu Mo’s eyes and explained directly:
“Bingxue is just a bit impulsive, acts without thinking. But she ans no harm. Not just you, everyone in the bar, including myself, has been tested by her at one ti or another. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
As the middle-aged man’s words fell, Chu Mo couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly.
In front of him was the man rated as an S-rank system owner, whose abilities were unknown to others, but now, Chu Mo had co to understand his formidable power.
Facing this man, although he wore a smiling face, Chu Mo’s senses warned him not to provoke the man lightly.
This man’s intimidation surpassed even that of the Xue family’s elder ancestor.
In order to face off against a Xue family elder ancestor, Chu Mo had spent tens of thousands of Wealth Points to exchange for a high-level skill that finally repelled him.
Chu Mo had no desire to needlessly provoke a conflict with the man before him. Otherwise, the few Wealth Points he had left were unlikely to be enough for even one battle.
In his heart, Chu Mo had already decided not to take the incident with the ponytailed woman any further. He responded to the middle-aged man’s words with a light nod and a smile, then picked up the drink in front of him and tasted it gently.
As the drink went down his throat, the previously frozen space around him began to move again, and the many guests, who had been like statues, resud bustling around.
Chu Mo’s eyes glanced towards the side clock; its second hand had started moving again.
At this mont, Chu Mo’s focus was on the wineglass in his hand; when he had just drunk the wine, he suddenly felt a faint warmth coursing through his body, and at the sa ti, he felt an unprecedented clarity and refreshnt.
Then, Yu Wenjing at his side finally approached, looking enviously at the wine in Chu Mo’s hand, and said:
“That is a precious spirit-boosting wine from the owner’s personal collection, it has the effect of strengthening the body. Just one cup like the one you have would cost millions in the black market, and that’s if it can even be found.”
