Chapter 23: The Domain of Golden Wind

  "What? Lower Heaven Tier Battle Skill!" Long Tianyu almost choked on his own saliva.

  Originally thought that at most there would be a mid-grade Xuan-level battle technique in this old man's house, but he never expected it to be a Tian-level one!

  A mid-tier Mystic-grade combat technique can sell for 200 million gold coins at the Imperial Auction, while a high-tier Mystic-grade combat skill can sell for 500 million.

  But historically, auctions have sold lower-grade heavenly artifacts for 50 billion gold coins! To put that into perspective, the empire's annual revenue is only 500 million gold coins.

  "Junior hero, would you be willing? As long as you help this young lady, I'll give you the Heaven-grade martial technique scroll."

  Han Zhiyu looked at Long Tianyu, his greatest wish now was to let his daughter get rid of her troubles, the water in the imperial palace was too deep, it wasn't something that people like them could imagine.

  "This cold uncle, this helping me is not necessarily helpful, but I can try, as for that heavenly battle skill I don't need it!"

  Long Tianyu's words were plain, but he was clever. Those who heard him would feel that Long Tianyu was a good person. This move of his was actually called "retreating to advance", and Han Zhiyuan had to give the scroll to him even more now.

  "How can this be!" Han Zhiyuan suddenly propped himself up, his body and legs aching with wounds, he could only tremble.

  "Autumn wind hero, as long as you're willing to help, that's all that matters! No matter the outcome, the scroll must be given. You've saved the entire village's lives, this is more important than anything."

  Han Zhiyuan slowly turned around and opened a stone on the stone couch, revealing a hidden compartment. He then slowly pulled out a wooden box from it.

  Long Tianyu's eyes widened! This is a treasure! Not to mention the heavenly scroll, this box alone is a treasure, it must be made of purple sandalwood, only this kind of wood can lock in the scroll. You know that from the heavenly stage onwards, scrolls are all spiritual, ordinary people are no match for it!

  "What a strong aura!"

  Across the box, Long Tianyu also felt a strong aura, this feeling would make even Sword King feel fearful.

  "Junior hero, this is the heavenly-level battle technique passed down through my ancestors, Golden Wind Domain! He still has one more chance to learn it!"

  Long Tianyu didn't hesitate, took over the wooden box and was about to open it.

  "You can't be a hero!"

  "Why?" Long Tianyu asked with a smile.

  Young heroes, once they've acquired heavenly-level battle skills, they all possess spiritual awareness and can escape on their own! Moreover, their speed is incredibly fast, even the strongest sword cultivators can't catch up to them.

  Long Tianyu naturally knew that Han Zhiyuan would see it. There were two mysterious sticks inserted beside Long Tianyu!

  It's the Hunter's "Stillness Trap!" As long as Long Tianyu considers the scroll an enemy, "No matter how fast, within range, you'll be knocked out for a second by me!"

  Seeing Long Tianyu's confident eyes, Han Zhiyuan wanted to speak but stopped. Long Tianyu gently opened the box cover.

  "Hah!"

  A burst of golden light! And a mighty airflow!

  "Hi!"

  Long Tianyu's aura was fully open, and he sealed off the flow of air. At this moment, a bright golden light burst out from the fusion!

  "Hum! Hum!"

  Two crisp sounds, and the Heaven-grade scroll that was about to escape was stopped! The golden light greatly diminished, and it could be faintly seen that inside was a scroll.

  "Give me a break!"

  Long Tianyu's strength is astonishing, originally the fire system's explosive force was strong, and with "Power Enhancement" and "Battle Bloodline", even a seventh-rank Sword King might not be his match in an arm-wrestling contest!

  "You still want to run? You can't escape from Grandpa's hands!"

  Long Tianyu grasped the scroll with one hand, and although the heavenly-grade scroll was still struggling, it couldn't escape Long Tianyu's countless practices of... Dragon Claw Hand.

  After struggling for a while, the scroll lost its power, and Long Tianyu took advantage of this opportunity to break its spiritual energy.

  "Awesome, Young Master!" With just a few moves, he subdued the Heavenly Scroll, which his great-grandfather had said was impossible for anyone to subdue, not even the Sword Sect or the Magic Guild. And yet, this young Autumn Wind was able to do it with such ease, leaving Han Zhi far in awe, now looking at him with complete reverence.

  Long Tianyu slowly entered a meditative state, taking advantage of the abundant magical energy at present. The morning was quiet and peaceful, with no powerful experts around, making it an excellent opportunity to study this scroll.

  Long Tianyu had only learned a lower-level Xuan-class technique called "Earth Rending Slash", although it was most suitable for the Earth element, but combat techniques could be learned by any element, some were just more suitable than others. The "Earth Rending Slash" was something he had learned when he was about to advance to Sword King, so it was naturally safe.

  But this time it's different. He doesn't know the terror of a Heaven-grade scroll, and even if he breaks through his spiritual nature, the scroll itself is extremely dangerous.

  The clear sky suddenly turned dark, and the sky above Dayu Village was even more pitch black, as if it had already entered the night. This strange phenomenon was caused by Long Tianyu, who was studying the scroll of war techniques.

  Each scroll has a different vision when learning, and it's not like his magical skills, but completely stuck to the body, even the process of getting familiar with it can be ignored.

  "Bad! Autumn Wind Xia has let his guard down!"

  Han Zhiyu saw Long Tianyu's face red and ears hot, sweating profusely, he must have encountered difficulties in his studies.

  Such a powerful martial skill scroll, how can Long Tianyu learn it in such a hurry? Although he has Xuefei's super effective techniques, the internal Qi energy is not enough to consume, and if this continues, he will fail to learn and even go crazy.

  ………

  "What kind of person is learning heavenly martial arts!"

  Chen Yingchuan leaped between the trees, he was on an external training trip, passing by Daliu Tree Village, raised his head to gaze at the sky, and astonishingly discovered that someone was cultivating a Heaven-level battle technique.

  But the situation is not good for this person! According to the dark clouds in the sky and his master's teachings, although he currently has the upper hand and his techniques are extremely refined, his internal energy is insufficient, and it is highly likely that he will fail.

  Looking carefully, under where the clouds were most concentrated was indeed Dayu Village.

  "I've got to go help him!" Chen Yingchuan's aura burst forth, his deep yellow thick aura exploding out like the wind, darting between the trees.

  After a gust of wind passed, Han Zhiyuan suddenly discovered that there was an additional youth in the house. His face was as bright as the full moon in mid-autumn, his complexion was as lovely as the flowers at dawn in spring, his temples were as sharp as if cut by a knife, his eyebrows were as black as ink paintings, and his nose was as straight as a hanging gallbladder. He was absolutely a youth who could enthrall all the beauties in one quarter.

  It was Chen Yingchuan who had rushed over.

  "What kind of person are you?!"

  Han's words made Chen Yingchuan's body tense up, and he asked if Long Tianyu was attacked while studying now, he would definitely go crazy, and the consequences would be unthinkable!

  "Hey mister, I see this brother is struggling with his martial arts skills, so I've come to lend him a hand."

  Chen Yingchuan didn't care about Han Zhiyuan's answer, and directly placed his hand on Long Tianyu's back, slowly transferring the fighting energy to him. In an instant, Long Tianyu's complexion improved a lot.

  Jinfeng's Domain is not a purely attacking martial skill, but rather an offensive and defensive one. Similar to the Ring of Resistance, it uses powerful Dou Qi as its source, sending enemies within a certain range flying and dealing massive damage.

  Words alone can't convey its power, it needs to be used to know that this is a great fighting skill. Especially suitable for someone like Long Tianyu!

  After a while, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing a clear sky. Long Tianyu, who was inside the house, also opened his eyes and secretly blamed himself for being careless this time. He clearly felt that someone had helped him out of danger this time.

  "Thank you for your help, big brother!"

  Long Tianyu turned around just in time to see Chen Yingchuan withdraw his energy and open his eyes.

  "This brother was just joking, I'm just helping out along the way." Chen Yingchuan said lightly, his fighting spirit had also consumed eighty percent.

  Long Tianyu politely bowed and said: "I am Xiao Di Qiu Feng, I don't know your surname and name, but I will definitely repay you in the future."

  Chen Yingchuan stood up, revealing a sunny smile. He was only five years older than Long Tianyu: "Brother Autumn Wind is not simple, not only is he a first-class fire sword king, but also cultivates heavenly combat skills. In the future, he will surely soar to great heights. I am Chen Yingchuan of the Tianlong Empire's Chen family!"

  Such a young sword king has learned top-notch combat skills, and will definitely become a big shot in the future. A talent like this, who wouldn't want to befriend?

  "Brother Chen is not simple at all, a fifth-rank earth sword king with profound aura, indeed worthy of being the eldest son of the renowned Chen family in the Tianlong Empire."

  "Are Autumn Wind Brothers also people of Tian Long Empire?"

  "Of course! But I'm no aristocrat like Chen Da Ge!"

  Long Tianyu is also considered a member of the royal family, and his family background cannot be compared with others.

  "Brother Autumn Wind, it's getting late, my family is in a hurry for me to return, I'm taking my leave!" Seeing the sun shining brightly, already close to noon, Chen Yingchuan hastily bid farewell and left, disappearing from view in just a few steps.

  "Autumn wind young hero, are you alright?"

  Long Tianyu patted his chest and said: "Fortunately, Brother Chen helped out. The first time practicing a heavenly-level battle technique was too reckless."

  "Yes, Autumn Wind Xiaxia must have someone by her side to protect the law next time." Han Zhiyuan said, handing a letter to Long Tianyu.

  "Junior hero, this is a letter for my daughter, I beg of you to deliver it into her hands."

  "No problem!" Long Tianyu lightly flicked his wrist and threw it into the spatial ring.

  "Autumn wind, I'll leave my daughter in your care!"

  Long Tianyu nodded, looked at the time and it was already late, he also had to rush to Jin City to participate in the Youth Championship, grab some good stuff, and then return to the Empire!

  "Goodbye, Uncle Han!"

  Long Tianyu made a hand gesture, flew away with an excited face, probably wanting to try out his new battle technique Golden Wind Domain. These advanced techniques aren't monster skills, being able to use them so skillfully requires careful consideration and repeated practice to master.

  After several leaps, with a thick face, he passed by several villagers' homes, and got a lot of delicious food. For Long Tianyu, this great benefactor, the enthusiastic villagers sent him the best food, filling up the small space ring, and Long Tianyu leaped away, disappearing in the envious gaze of the villagers.

  Just as Long Tianyu was about to leave.

  All the great empires, great families and sects have excluded young elites to go to Golden City to participate in this grand competition! Of course, there are also young volunteers who set foot on their journey alone to that prosperous Golden City.

  This match is not just a young man's game, but also a political necessity for all major empires.
