1065 Void Battle 1 (1/2)

Garen was floating in the sky looking down at Chen Cheng and her family. This was one of the rare occurrences where he met someone by chance. What he gave Chen Cheng was not just one of his dark blue knives, but also one of the most fundamental frost secret technique exercise. If she actually practiced it to its peak level, he would be able to sense it through the ring and come back to pick her up. However, if she did not practice it, perhaps they might never see each other ever again.

Garen took one last peek below at Chen Cheng and her family who were still in shock. He then turned around and flew back into his own flying ship.

A black whirlpool slowly appeared before the flying ship but nobody from the crowd could see what was happening. The streets were still filled with a stream of cars and the entire city was still functioning as usual.

The flying ship slowly entered the black hole and soon disappeared into the sky.

Garen was sitting at a dimly lit area inside the cockpit of the flying ship, staring at the blinking lights on the control panel. He stood up abruptly and searched around for a purple colored fruit wine. He then poured himself a small glass.

After taking a tiny sip, his body shuddered involuntarily. He was frozen for a moment, the wine glass in his hands and the wine itself was instantly covered with a layer of white frost. From Garen's palm which was in contact with the glass, a layer of thick ice frost started spreading, freezing the entire glass and wine together which then formed a purple gem-like ice block.

He had unconsciously reached Inherited Level.

It took Garen a long time before he finally came around. Looking inside his body, a high amount of energy from the Plasma Bomb was fully absorbed already while there were still a small traces of energy left unabsorbed from the blood red beads which were weakening by the moment.

”Hellfrost Peacock Technique… Indeed a terrifying growth,” he took a deep breath. ”So this is the legendary thick and thin, where it finally outbreaks after years of accumulation.”

Entering Inherited Level was a silent move. For outsiders, Garen just seemed to shudder for a moment and the wine of glass in his hands froze. That was all bystanders would see, and perhaps they would think he lost control suddenly, but nobody would ever think that he actually succeeded in advancing to Inherited Level.

”From entering Resonance Level to Inherited Level, how long did I actually take? Not even three years,” Garen exclaimed. ”As a Secret Technician, the highest Living Secret Technique is indeed extraordinary. After practicing the Living Secret Technique for such a long time, I really thought I would never succeed, that I would never reach somewhere, but who knew I would experience such a drastic change.”

He recalled Nonosiva's future that he witnessed back in the Space-Time Print.

Under the cultivation of the lucky remaining resources of Scarlet Snow Sect, he would enter Inherited Level. But after a hundred years, he would still be killed by the White King's men, the Royal Cavaliers of the Light of Freedom, in the Battle of Ice Age.

This was the original fate of this body. Members of the Light of Freedom were all Perpetual Motion-leveled powerhouses and Chinande the Wild Mutt was the leader who led the Light of Freedom to destroy one of the Three Major Metropolis of the Energy Machinists -- the city of Nagadako, which was also the entire Planet Naga.

Turning back from this tiny planet, Garen returned back to his original path.

”I wonder what is the relationship between Carthage and the Light of Freedom? From the looks of it, this guy might possibly a projection or a clone of one of the members of the Light of Freedom,” he remembered the gigantic silver arm full of scales and made a guess of his own.

”Entering Inherited Level in such a short period of time is too sudden. It is better if I hide it first and wait for a while before announcing it. With that, I'd be valued and also hide some unusual features at the same time,” Garen had come to a decision. He was in no rush since Carthage gave him a year's time to wander around.

The flying ship flew through the rainbow passage, then emerging in front of a huge circular silver-blue gate.

'Welcome to Willis Star Port, please choose your time to jump.' An electronic female voice rang.

”Immediately,” Garen responded.

”Entering default coordinates… Begin access track…”

Garen could see the silver metal track outside the windows backtracking. The flying ship was moving rapidly along two metal tracks in space and it was still accelerating, moving faster and faster.

'Speed has reached the preset level, will proceed to space jump. All crew please get ready.' The smart system of the flying ship reminded.

Garen walked toward the control panel of the flying ship and swept through the display screen, there were only a few points marked on the map in the flying ship.

Scarlet Snow Planet, Planet Naga, Mother Planet, and the unknown Planet Number 1 that he just visited.

There were only four planets.

”Returning now would be meaningless. Since I've just broken through Inherited Level, I should do some training of my own outside. It's time to test the true powers of my Hellfrost Peacock Technique,” an idea surfaced Garen's mind and he did not choose any of the planets as his destination.

'Activate scanner for star maps, search for any planets or non-planets,' Garen commanded softly.

'Understood.'

A soft blue light started blinking on the screen and a huge radar ring appeared in the middle with a white pointer rotating non-stop.

Within seconds, the scan results were out.
