Chapter 16: A Happy Meteorite Explode Above Your Head

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Ye Haoran walked home unhurriedly.

On the roof of a nearby building, a few men in black were silently observing Ye Haoran’s movements, trying to predict his movements.

“Eh?”

Ye Haoran suddenly stopped in his tracks. His sixth sense made him feel that something was not right.

It was too quiet here. Although there were people coming and going, there was something off about it. It was as if there was a huge television screen in front of him.

[You have entered the encirclement. Please choose.]

The familiar red options appeared again, but this time, he only had 20 seconds to make his choice.

[Option 1: Run forward immediately and find a way to escape. Reward: Increase your escape speed by 50% in the next life.]

[Option 2: Escape from the attack of the person behind you and kill them. Reward: A large amount of spiritual power.]

[Option 3: Hand over the fetus of the holy-level vicious beast and join the New World Church. Reward: Immediately become a grand beast tamer (Note: There is a soul contract for joining the church).]

Ye Haoran frowned slightly. Although the third option was extremely tempting, it went against his principles.

Now, only the second option was the best.

At the same time, he checked his system backpack. The special experience gift bag that he had given him earlier had four different experiences.

Three of them were locked, but he didn’t know the details. The unlocked mode only gave him one ‘time traveler’ experience.

If he couldn’t escape later, he would have to take a gamble with this.

At this time, the countdown was almost over. Ye Haoran raised his phone slightly and locked onto the enemy behind him through the selfie camera.

He saw a young gangster with a permed head walking over while on the phone. His clear eyes and hearty laughter were completely different from that of a killer.

He didn’t have any killing intent on him. The reason why Ye Haoran thought it was him was that just when the countdown ended, the youth was just behind him.

Ye Haoran summoned the little goldfish and hid it in his palm. Under Ye Haoran’s command, it endured the lack of water and continued to stay in his palm.

Just as the system was counting down to one second, Ye Haoran suddenly turned around and directly activated [Dragon’s Roar] at the youth who was close at hand.

“Uh-!”

The youth’s expression instantly turned pained. He covered his head and squatted on the ground, but there was no sign of contract spirit fluctuations on his body.

“I hit the wrong person?” Ye Haoran was stunned. He stood aside and waited for his skill to cool down.

At this moment, the system was the most reliable!

The gangster was still squatting on the ground and screaming in pain, which attracted a group of people to come over and watch, pointing at Ye Haoran and whispering.

Ye Haoran looked on coldly without saying a word.

Half a minute later, the gangster finally stood up, trembling. He looked at him with fear in his eyes.

“Are you alright?”

Ye Haoran walked forward and asked with concern. ‘Dragon’s Roar’, which had already cooled down, could be used instantly at any time.

“Uh, I’m a little dizzy.”

The gangster’s body swayed and he was about to fall toward Ye Haoran.

As soon as he got close, a cold light suddenly flashed.

“Roar–!”

Ye Haoran roared and his powerful mental attack directly shook off the poisoned dagger in the other party’s hand and then stabbed it into the latter’s chest.

The youth opened his eyes painfully and said, “I thought you were only suspicious of the people who got close to you, but it seems like you’ve already seen through my identity. I’m the clown, hehehe…”

[Reward obtained: A large amount of spiritual power.]

Ye Haoran ignored the other party and directly used ‘Divine Dragon Swinging Tail’ on the crowd in front.

“Blow–!”

The dragon’s tail whizzed past, and the crowd instantly became blurry. The entire space seemed to be torn apart.

Ye Haoran’s vision of the street faded like a curtain, and a barren mountain came into view.

Ye Haoran’s heart sank. As expected, he had left the city a long time ago. Otherwise, the other party would not have dared to send people to assassinate him in public.

After all, the opponent had a high-level mental-type contract spirit that had created an illusion to lure him out without him knowing.

“Wonderful, wonderful!”

Jiang Congnan walked out, clapping his hands. The eyes of Blackbird on his shoulder were red as if it wanted to rush forward and tear a certain someone apart.

“You can even see through our assassination team, which we trained with ordinary people. You are indeed very good.”

Ye Haoran didn’t reply but looked elsewhere.

If he was right, there should be at least one more enemy who could create illusions.

“No wonder you managed to fool Jiang Congnan. You do have some skills.”

A lazy voice was heard, and a young man wearing a cap appeared.

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Gu Bin. Are you interested in joining our church?”

“It’s you?”

Ye Haoran recalled that it was the person who had bumped into him on the road.

At this moment, his heart had already turned cold. This person was also a great spiritualist.

This also meant that he couldn’t escape with the ‘time traveler’ and would be caught immediately.

“Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to live or die?”

Jiang Congnan held down the crazy Blackbird and coldly said, “If you want to live, hand over the fetus of the holy-level vicious beast and join the church. If you want to die, you can choose how you want to die.”

Ye Haoran lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.

Upon seeing this, the young man with the cap continued to guide him, “If you join us, you’ll have countless resources, and you’ll be able to become a great spiritualist in a few years. You’ll be able to do whatever you want freely. How about it? ”

Ye Haoran remained silent with his head lowered. The young man in the cap could only wait for his reply.

In fact, Ye Haoran was not thinking about that at all. He was looking at the number of experiences he had in the system space.

He had unlocked all three of the experiences that were locked earlier. It seemed like he could only use them when his life was in danger.

The first was called “Meteorite,” and the second was called “Starbound.”

The last skill was “Chaotic Mist”, which was obviously a skill to interfere with line of sight and escape.

However, there was a great spiritualist with a mental-type contract spirit outside. His scouting ability was naturally extremely powerful, and it would be difficult for him to escape.

He could only place his hopes on the first two. Even if they didn’t work, they could at least buy him some time. He could try to escape with the ‘time traveler’.

After making up his mind, Ye Haoran raised his head and said weakly, “Have you guys seen a shooting star before?”

“What???”

The young man in the cap was completely dumbfounded. Why the hell did he suddenly say this out of nowhere?

Jiang Congnan frowned and was about to release Blackbird to kill Ye Haoran when the latter immediately clicked on the skill to use it. In an instant, a burning feeling was felt in the field.

“What?”

Jiang Congnan raised his head in surprise, only to see the sky suddenly turn fiery red, and a huge meteorite formed.

“F*ck, you’re f*cking not following the rule right?!”

Even a holy-type spiritualist would not be able to take on such a huge meteorite!

Jiang Congnan and Gu Bin were extremely shocked, and they regarded it as a life-saving skill given to Ye Haoran by his elder. They didn’t expect their target to have such a powerful background. The young man in the cap wanted to run away.

Although great spiritualists were strong, they were still as weak as ants in front of big shots.

Jiang Congnan’s expression was uncertain. He had already offended Ye Haoran, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two.

He made up his mind, and Blackbird spat out a ball of black light, which shot toward Ye Haoran.

“Holy sh*t!”

Ye Haoran hurriedly used ‘time traveler’ and appeared 500 meters away in a flash.

“What?”

Ye Haoran was overjoyed. Previously, he could only teleport a hundred meters. It seemed that the distance would increase as his strength increased.

However, the black light behind him was obviously a lock-on skill, and it still followed closely like a maggot attached to the bone.

Seeing that Ye Haoran had already run far away, Jiang Congnan and Gu Bin were about to ride Blackbird and escape, but Ye Haoran flashed back from the distance.

“1, 2, 3, freeze!”

Ye Haoran revealed a motherly smile and teleported away the moment the black light caught up.

“Ah?!!!”

Jiang Congnan was shocked. The space around him suddenly froze, and an invisible barrier fixed him in place.

Although everything seemed complicated, it all happened in a flash and less than two seconds after Ye Haoran released the ‘Meteorite’ skill.

The spatial barrier was extremely sturdy and could not be broken in an instant. Jiang Congnan’s face turned green when he saw the meteorite was about to fall.

The meteorite was going to fall on his head!

He was a great spiritualist. He wouldn’t be killed by a Level 5 spirit apprentice, would he?

On the other side, the young man with the baseball cap hurriedly ran away by himself, but without Jiang Congnan’s Blackbird, he was slowed down and was doomed to fail.

The meteorite’s scorching heat had already made Jiang Congnan’s hair curl. At the last moment, before the meteorite fell, Jiang Congnan finally used Blackbird to break the spatial barrier, and at the same time, he crushed a silver triangle in his hand.

A spatial tunnel flashed by, and then the meteorite crashed down.

“Boom–!!!”

A huge sound spread through Beitong City along with the tremors of the ground. The experts from Beitong City flew into the sky one after another.

They looked at the silver ball of light formed by the explosion of the meteorite in the distance with guarded expressions.

The nearby cities also felt the tremors, and experts rushed over to take a look.

When the explosion stopped, the entire Spirit Bureau immediately went to investigate what had happened.

What Ye Haoran didn’t know was that this move of his would greatly increase the security around Beitong City in the next few years to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

“Today is a good day…”

Ye Haoran teleported to the outskirts of the city. The black light that was chasing after him had long disappeared.

At this time, the ‘time traveler’ experience time had just ended, and the silver energy on his body gradually disappeared.

“Do you really think of me as a pile of mud? It’s only been three days and I have already been assassinated twice. This is crazy.”

Ye Haoran looked at the explosion in the distance and felt a sense of accomplishment.

At least one of the two great spiritualists would die under such a skill, and without Jiang Congnan’s Blackbird, none of them would be able to escape.

Unfortunately, ‘Starbound’ was a single target control skill, so he could only give it to Jiang Congnan, who hated him the most.

However, he also realized that the things given by the system were indeed powerful. Just this ‘Meteorite’ alone required an unknown number of spiritualists to release such a skill.

If he could have such a skill, he would have to modify the terrain of the Blue Planet.
