It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 777
Chapter 777: Qi Long’s Advancement!
It turns out, the person who made the move was one of the three stronger domain realm masters hidden in the manor! However, when Li Lanfeng was advancing to the domain stage, Ling Lan had already made preparations for any sneak attacks. That was because the opposition definitely wouldn’t want them to have another domain realm master. Thus, they would definitely try to attack at that crucial moment.
The domain realm master, who Ling Lan caught, was surprised. He didn’t think that his sneak attack would be actually seen through by his opponent. Not only that, the pressure his opponent gave him was something he had never felt before, this young man in front of him might be the strongest enemy he must face in his life.
The domain realm master shouted loudly and activated his domain.
As the domain realm master was activating his domain, Ling Lan felt Li Lanfeng’s body trembling behind her. She frowned and let go of the domain realm master’s hand. Then, she jumped backwards, returning to her original spot, taking Li Lanfeng with her at the same time.
Understanding Ling Lan’s intentions, the last domain realm master sent by Ling Xiao appeared at Ling Lan’s previous location to substitute her in the battle against the domain realm master.
“How are you feeling?” Ling Lan asked while her eyes were still monitoring the battlefield because her three comrades were still fighting.
Li Lanfeng cried out and spat out some blood. The consequences of advancing past the stage his physical constitution could endure was beginning to take its effect. The power of the domain stage was something his body couldn’t currently handle.
“I’m fine. It’s just my body still held me back in the end.” Li Lanfeng wiped away the blood on the corner of his lips and smiled bitterly.
“It’s because you’re too hasty. If you had waited until your physical skills advance into Great Perfection, then you wouldn’t have this problem,” Ling Lan said with a cold expression on her face. Although she chose to trust Li Lanfeng and supported his decision, she still didn’t agree with it.
“I couldn’t control my spiritual power anymore so it will not let me wait. Plus, since I will be advancing anyways, isn’t it better to advance earlier?” Li Lanfeng’s face was full of smiles. He didn’t regret his decision even if he had to pay a price for it. As long as he could get closer to the person he wanted to get closer to, he felt that it was worth it. “Rabbit, did I catch up to you a little bit?”
The familiar nickname thawed out the coldness in Ling Lan’s expression slightly. It was as though she had returned to the time when she worked hard with Cheetah, chasing each other around all the time. She suddenly understood why Li Lanfeng made that dumb decision. It was because she was moving too fast, making Li Lanfeng fear that he would not be able to catch up and lose her as a friend in the end. Thinking back to the tragedy of how Li Lanfeng was abandoned by the Li family and was left behind on Planet Azure because of his physical constitution…
Ling Lan softened and nodded. “You got slightly closer. Keep up the good work!” Alright, she should do something good once a day! Li Lanfeng is after all in a quite pitiful position.
Li Lanfeng’s eyes glistened in the light and his smile became even bigger. His resounding ‘Yes!’ made Ling Lan feel that a little cheetah was in front of her, looking to be caressed. She couldn’t refuse such an adorable pet… no, she couldn’t let anyone know her weakness of cute things. It would make her lose her dignity as a Boss. In order to stop her hand from going near Li Lanfeng’s head, she decisively moved away from Li Lanfeng.
Li Shiyu suddenly saw Li Lanfeng getting launched into the sky. He quickly ran to the position where Li Lanfeng would land, catching him the process.
“Treat him!” Ling Lan’s cold voice rang through Li Shiyu’s ears. He knew that he couldn’t hide from his Boss, so after hearing Ling Lan’s order, he didn’t think much of it. He quickly took out a vial of medicinal agent that he had previously prepared and gave it to Li Lanfeng.
“Sorry for the trouble, Shiyu!” Li Lanfeng smiled widely.
“I’m our team’s doctor!” Li Shiyu had a serious expression on his face. He was only doing what the team’s doctor should be doing, and wasn’t only doing it because Li Lanfeng was his eldest cousin brother.
At that moment, some battles were going well underway. The first was Qi Long. He used his Animal Instinct to dodge the invisible wind blades of his opponent. However, his opponent was using his domain to enclose Qi Long, surrounding him with countless wind blades. Although Qi Long’s Animal Instinct was strong, he still couldn’t dodge all of the wind blades with that many surrounding him. However, he successfully dodged the attacks that were perilous. Although it would seem scary to bystanders, with cuts all around his body, dyeing him blood-red, they were still only surface injuries.
These injuries that Qi Long had sustained weren’t not for naught. From the moment he activated his Animal Instinct to passively dodge the wind blades, he began to slowly gain control over this ability. He could feel the direction and location of the wind blades. Animal Instinct gave him a precautionary feeling, making him get hit by less and less wind blades.
The wind element fake domain realm master felt the change that was happening to Qi Long. His expression changed slightly. He had seen the other guy successfully advancing into the domain stage while battling one of his comrades. Is this guy doing the same thing?
With that fear in his heart, the wind element domain realm master went berserk. He suddenly began to use all of the wind element around him, overclocking his domain which was beginning to tremble. A large tornado appeared at the edge of his domain, which immediately compressed itself and moved towards Qi Long, who was still in the domain.
The tornado was made up of countless wind blades. If Qi Long were to get caught in it, he would instantly be diced up.
However, Qi Long wasn’t going to give his opponent that chance. His Animal Instinct let him know the location where he would be safe from the tornado. Qi Long began to dodge left and right. Every time he dodged, he would just shy from touching the tornado, making people who were watching fear for his life. If Qi Long made one wrong move, he would be diced up into pieces.
“I see!” While dodging, Qi Long suddenly had an expression of enlightenment. He then stopped moving his body. Right as the tornado was about to touch him, Qi Long shouted. A strong force suddenly expanded out from his body, forcing the tornado to change its direction towards the sand element fake domain realm master who Luo Lang was fighting with.
“Bang!” A sandstorm appeared before the tornado and the two natural disasters smashed onto each other. The sand element fake domain realm master was wounded from his comrade’s rogue attack and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Wind Three, what are you doing?” The sand element fake domain realm master shouted angrily.
However, the wind element fake domain realm master couldn’t answer his question as he was shocked speechless by Qi Long. He was able to clearly feel a concept of a domain in the energy from his opponent released just now. His opponent naturally advanced to the domain stage just like that? He wasn’t like the other person, who had only advanced after he was almost beaten to death.
Wasn’t advancing to the domain stage like a lottery? Some people might not even be able to break through the barrier in their lifetime. This was also why this fake domain realm master lost hope and in the end willingly accepted the organization’s offer to be their guinea pig for their illegal experiments, which gave him the opportunity to grasp broken concept and become a fake domain realm master.
Seeing this, Ling Lan smirked. It was as she had predicted, Qi Long being the first person out of the three to advance to the domain stage. In reality, before all this, Qi Long had already reached half a step into the domain stage, but unfortunately, Qi Long had awakened Animal Instinct, which was a good innate talent for mecha piloting. However, as luck would have it, this talent was quite an enigma as it didn’t really coincide with any of the more famous concepts. Even Ling Lan couldn’t imagine what Qi Long’s domain would be like. Thus, this unknown aspect of his innate talent made Qi Long unable to find the direction he should be working towards, making it impossible for him to break through the tough barrier without first finding his direction.
However, fighting against a fake domain realm master who had touched the concept of his domain helped Qi Long find his path much faster. In the end, Qi Long managed to do it. It was just that Ling Lan didn’t know what Qi Long’s domain concept could be. She could only feel the fluctuation of domain energy with no natural elements. Thus, Ling Lan decisively eliminated the possibility of concept of the natural elements. In actuality, she felt that the domain concept Qi Long had awakened was similar to Li Lanfeng’s, both of them belonging to the spiritual rules.
Animal Instinct was originally an ability that branched from spiritual power! Ling Lan suddenly realized that Qi Long was actually the luckiest person alive. Not only was his physical constitution monstrous, the innate talent he had awakened was completely based off his spiritual power, which easily fulfilled the spiritual power requirement to advance to the domain stage. This also explained why Qi Long had advanced into the domain stage that easily. Both requirements were fulfilled before this fight even started, making his advancement was more or less perfect. It wasn’t like Li Lanfeng’s advancement where even though he had advanced, he would still have many problems in the future.
Qi Long directed the tornado towards Luo Lang’s opponent. Then, he excitedly clenched his fists after feeling the concept of his domain. When he looked towards his opponent, he no longer felt the pressure he had felt in the very beginning of the battle. Although he had just advanced into the domain stage and could only slightly control it, he still felt that if he wanted to kill his opponent, it would be a piece of cake.
This was probably the difference between a natural domain and a fake domain. It was no wonder their Boss didn’t allow them to take shortcuts. It seemed their Boss knew very well what price one would pay if they were to use shortcuts.
Qi Long began to laugh. He looked towards his opponent and softly said, “Die!”
Before his voice could reach his opponent, he had already gotten behind the wind element fake domain realm master. Then, the wind element fake domain realm master grasped onto his chest, and began to spit out massive amounts of blood along with his ruptured organs, causing him to fall over dead with his eyes still wide open.
“You think you can escape?” Ling Lan, who was originally fully focused on watching the battle, suddenly felt two strong auras running away in two different directions. Ling Lan moved in a split second and instantly intercepted one of them.
The domain realm master in the other direction was overjoyed, thinking that he had escaped. Suddenly, a silhouette blocked his path. It was Li Lanfeng.
It turns out, after drinking Li Shiyu’s medicinal agent, Li Lanfeng’s battered body was instantly healed up. When he was using the meditation technique to heal his body, his eyes didn’t stop monitoring the manor. Thus, if there was anyone trying to escape from the manor, he would be able to instantly know. The person that Ling Lan had let go moved towards his direction. He thought about it and knew that he was most likely given to him by Ling Lan.
