Chapter 133 - Dimensional Arcana, Dimensional Excision
He could perform Arcana Replication again.
"The last time I replicated Ling'er's Five-Element Manipulation Arcana was Thursday of week six. Now it's Wednesday of week eight. It's been exactly two weeks, no more, no less!
"In other words, the cooldown period has reduced to two weeks!
"After the third awakening, the cooling period has been shortened from two months to two weeks!
"Not bad at all!"
Ling Jiu could not be happier. Replicating an Arcana every two weeks meant that he could replicate over 30 Arcanas before he graduated from the training camp.
Over 30 Arcana... What would he become by then?
As Ling Jiu left the cultivation room, Ai Yuhe and Ling'er also emerged from theirs.
Name: Ai Yuhe
Ability: Dimensional Manipulation (awakened, replicable)
"Replicate!" Ling Jiu then initiated the replication.
Replication successful. Install?
Ling Jiu was not in a hurry. He returned to his dormitory first; only then did he begin the process. After some painstaking moments, he finally installed it successfully.
He suddenly felt the world before him change right then.
"Is this a dimension?
"It seems to be comprised of dots, just like how water molecules make up the ocean and various gas molecules make up the atmosphere. Amazing!"
It stunned Ling Jiu.
The dimension was very similar to the ocean.
Points of silver light?
Yes, points of silver light.
It was dense.
There were many of them...
Endless points of silver light.
Together, they formed the dimension.
People, animals, air, the earth, and other things that existed in space were just like fish in the ocean. They were the same.
"Not only can I see these silver light points, but I can seemingly control them if I want to!
"Still!"
Ling Jiu willed it, and the slow floating "points" came to a standstill in front of him. That caused the dimension to freeze as well.
"Amazing! I can manipulate the dimension when I control the points."
It amazed him so much that he kept repeating the manipulation.
He directed the points to engulf him, and he disappeared from the spot. The move was very similar to the Dimensional Veil that Ai Yuhe had previously performed.
Ling Jiu found himself in another place after jumping from one point to another. It was reminiscent of a spatial jump.
When he manipulated the dimensional points, they formed a dimensional passage.
"Is this the way to create a dimensional passage? Amazing! Amazing!"
That night, Ling Jiu studied the Dimensional Arcana enthusiastically.
Dimensional Arcana used to be something mysterious in his eyes.
However, once he had mastered it, he found that it was not as incomprehensible as he had thought. He found it much simpler than any other Arcana.
The reason was, the "points" that made up the dimension were weightless and formless. They were extremely easy to manipulate, even easier than manipulating earth and fire.
Of course, easy did not equate to weakness. Those two qualities were two different things!
"I have to see how powerful this Dimensional Arcana is tomorrow."
The three of them set off again early the next morning. Ling Jiu was taking it easy this week since they had robbed Christopher and four of his mates last week.
"We'll proceed more leisurely this week." He smiled at the two girls.
"Obviously0, I won't stop you if you want to train your combat abilities."
"Understood."
They then found a group of Class 7 Direbeasts using the Direbeast Radar.
It was a swarm of Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats, and there were over 1,000 of them.
The Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats had a wingspan of over 30 meters, and their bodies were covered with dense black hair. Only their eyes were golden, hence the name Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats.
"Let me first kill a Class 7 Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat!"
Ling Jiu gave them a heads-up. After that. he lunged at a Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat. Its wingspan was over 60 meters, double the size of the other Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats.
It was the king of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats, a powerful Class 7 Direbeast far more superior than the ordinary Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats in terms of power, speed, defense, and attack.
The Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King attacked at once upon sensing the approaching human. It opened its bloody wide mouth and let out a terrifying shrill.
The burst of sound waves formed circular ripples that were visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye as they traveled toward Ling Jiu.
It was a sonic attack, one of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat's abilities!
Its sonic power was so powerful that it could destroy bodies, organs, and even shatter people's brains. Its power was the most frightful.
Nevertheless, as powerful as it was, it was not powerful enough to affect the dimension. Ling Jiu shook his head and disappeared into thin air.
"Is that Dimensional Veil?"
Ai Yuhe's heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed quietly when she saw the ability.
This ability was none other than Dimensional Veil.
"This guy must have replicated my Dimensional Arcana!"
Ai Yuhe gritted her teeth. "When did he replicate it? Damn it! He never told me about it!"
"Yuhe, did you say that my brother replicated Dimensional Arcana?"
It shocked Yang Ling'er to hear this.
"He's performing a Dimensional Veil now, so what do you think? He obviously replicated my Arcana! Shame on him. Thief!" Ai Yuhe hissed.
"That's great! Now my brother has also mastered Dimensional Arcana. Your future children will surely inherit this Arcana!" Yang Ling'er pursed her mouth and smiled.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ai Yuhe blushed.
"Don't you want your children to inherit Dimensional Arcana?" Yang Ling'er asked, blinking her big round eyes.
"Of course, I hope so... Hey! How dare you set me up?"
Meanwhile, Ling Jiu was hiding in the dimension and creeping toward the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King. When he was no more than 10 meters from it, the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King had yet to discover his presence. At this point, it was obvious that the Dimensional Arcana's Dimensional Veil was simply nature-defying.
"Dimensional... Excision!" Ling Jiu slowly uttered the words.
The dimension above and below the neck of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King moved in different directions like an apple being sliced in half.
One half moved to the left, and another half moved to the right.
The result was fatal. The head of the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King was separated from its body.
Its head smashed onto the ground without the support of its neck, and its massive body struggled for a few moments before crashing down.
The Golden-Eyed Demonic Bat King was as dead as a doornail...
And it died without making a sound.
Ai Yuhe saw it and could not help but be impressed. "This guy has just obtained Dimensional Arcana, yet he has already mastered it so well."
"My brother is a genius!"
Yang Ling'er was so proud of him.
"Get over it. It's our turn now!"
Ai Yuhe snorted and launched an attack on the Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats in their surroundings.
"Dimensional Blade!
"Thunderbolt Fire Spear!"
The invisible Dimensional Blade pierced through the air like rain along with a bombardment of the purple, almost transparent Fire Spear.
Not long after, they had wiped out the enormous swarm of Golden-Eyed Demonic Bats. The three collected the Direbeast carcasses and left the area, heading to the next Direbeast gathering point.
"Yuhe, Ling'er, are you interested in going to Mount Kosciuszko?"
"Mount Kosciuszko? Ling Jiu, are you looking for the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon? Damn! That's a Class 8 Direbeast. Your confidence has grown, eh?"
"It's not what you think. We can't kill the Three-headed Frostfire Scaled Dragon, but we can steal the Divine Spring of Life."
