Chapter 281: Daynight Restoration Technique (2/2)
Drip, drip, drip.
The fresh blood splattered onto the floor as Zhanlong Daynight lowered his head. There was intense pain radiating out from the wound in his chest. He slowly turned around, “Impressive strength, kid. You’re the first Limiteer who’s been able to hurt me.”
Li Zimo trembled and stared blankly as the wound on his opponent’s chest gradually vanished. Within a few seconds, the skin was unbroken, as if his strike had never landed. Apart from the fresh blood staining the floor, there was no trace of any injury on Zhanlong Daynight. How?
Lu Yin felt numb as well. What kind of trick is this?
“That technique seems so familiar. I must have seen it in some border warfront record before,” the Ghost Monkey muttered.
“It’s a Daynight technique.”
The Ghost Monkey cried out, “Oh! It must be the Daynight Restoration Technique. Someone actually managed to learn that heaven-defying technique?”
“You know about it?” Lu Yin was puzzled.
“I’ve gone through many records of various powerhouses and their unique bodies. One such peak physical tempering technique is the Daynight Restoration Technique. A long time ago, perhaps ten thousand years ago, there was a heaven-defying genius of the Daynight clan who battled against five Cruiser level astral beasts while only at the Explorer realm. That battle lasted for days and ultimately ended with five deaths—four Cruiser level astral beasts as well as that Daynight genius. The surviving astral beast, who was also a powerhouse, went on to describe the Daynight Restoration Technique in detail.”
The monkey paused a moment and then continued explaining, saying, “This technique is not a battle technique per se, but more of a recovery technique. It’s an almost perverted level of regeneration. If a normal person’s regeneration rate was given a score of ten, then those who learned this technique would be rated at a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand. They can recover from all kinds of grievous injuries in the blink of an eye! It’s extremely messed up. Those astral beast powerhouses only killed that Daynight genius by deliberately dragging out the battle until he ran out of energy.”
Lu Yin was shocked. “Such a technique exists in the world? Wouldn’t such a thing make this guy invincible?”
“More or less. He can’t be killed by anyone in the same realm as him. Also, the longer the technique is practised for, the more every aspect of the practitioner’s body will be improved—and there’s no upper limit! It’s very, very twisted, and that powerhouse advised us to kill any known user of the Daynight Restoration Technique as soon as possible in order to prevent them from living for too long.”
Regeneration sounds very familiar... Right! The Technique of Life and Death! Lu Yin recalled this strange technique could also greatly upgrade one’s power. It worked by suppressing a person’s natural regenerative abilities and converted that into strength. It was actually the complete opposite of the Daynight Restoration Technique. Lu Yin suddenly thought back to when he had collided with Zhanlong Daynight’s palm. There had been a sort of suppressive effect; could that have been the Technique of Life and Death suppressing the Daynight Restoration Technique?
If this were really the case, then this brat was just too unlucky! Lu Yin had managed to obtain this obscure technique after countless others had failed over the course of countless years. He should be the only one in the universe who could be considered the natural nemesis of a practitioner of the Daynight Restoration Technique.
Li Zimo reluctantly conceded the battle after witnessing Zhanlong Daynight’s recovery. No matter how strong his attacks were, they were all rendered useless against him. Zhanlong Daynight’s battle style had naturally evolved into a mutually destructive style, and it didn’t take long for Li Zimo’s sword to be damaged.
He spat out some blood, his face deathly pale.
The ambushing party within the Tower of Resonating Light was slowly being whittled away at. Lu Yin did not want Li Zimo to be killed, but more importantly, he did not want Li Zimo to die at the hands of a Daynight clan member. If he did nothing, then this achievement might give Zhanlong Daynight an opportunity to join the Outerverse Youth Council.
With that in mind, Lu Yin used Flash to charge towards the battlefield and casually threw a large rock at Zhanlong Daynight.
Zhanlong waved his hand and crushed the rock. He looked coldly at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin tucked his head in and landed roughly on the floor, causing a cloud of dust to fly up into the air.
Zhanlong Daynight disdainfully remarked, “Worthless.”
Li Zimo looked at Lu Yin and said in a low voice, “Don’t intervene. Leave!”
Lu Yin wanted to respond, but then a noise sounded out. Li Zimo heard it as well. The two exchanged glances and charged back up to the Tower of Resonating Light’s fifth level.
At the same time, the defending Ming Vanguard and all the other experts from the Shenwu Continent pulled back one after one another. Zhanlong Daynight and the other trialtakers were all confused by their sudden retreat.
Yue Xianzi’s heart leaped, and she had a bad premonition, “Brother Zhanlong, this is a trap! They want to seal us in here!”
Zhanlong Daynight raised his head. “That’ll depend on their abilities.” He then leaped up, following Lu Yin and the rest of the defenders to the fifth level.
Li Zimo struck downwards with his sword in an attempt to block Zhanlong Daynight. However, this top genius of the Daynight clan had more than one trick up his sleeves; his extreme speed was also astounding and defied all expectations. When Li Zimo and the rest arrived at the fifth level, Zhanlong Daynight followed right behind, along with a few other trialtakers.
“Knock him down!” Li Zimo barked as he attacked Zhanlong Daynight.
Lu Yin attacked together with Li Zimo, and they simultaneously unleashed an attack towards Zhanlong Daynight.
