159: Chapter 159 Beyond the Continent

She summoned a massive gale sphere the size of a small car and hurled it toward Lin Fan.

Whoosh...!

The rapidly spinning gale sphere distorted the surrounding airflow, tearing up the ground in its path.

Watching the incoming gale sphere,

A silvery-white halo of Space Element glowed in Lin Fan's eyes.

Ten stars surrounded him, quickly connecting to form two Star Arrays.

"Spatial Vortex."

Lin Fan murmured calmly, suppressing his excitement over the successful experiment.

In the next moment,

The two Star Arrays moved in front of him, forming a Spatial Vortex five meters in diameter.

The vortex was like a rift torn in reality, leading to a white space where silver liquid churned continuously.

The sight was extremely similar to the portal he used for Void Walk.

Except this time, others could see it too.

After the vortex took shape,

A powerful suction erupted from within, just as the gale sphere shot by Qing Yu arrived.

The suction easily pulled the gale sphere inside; the vortex remained undisturbed.

Qing Yu: "..."

What on earth is this?!

She was once again shocked by this human's mysterious abilities.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

He controlled the vortex to spit out the gale sphere... this was exactly one of the uses for this Spell.

The Spatial Vortex rotated to reveal its other side, which looked identical to the side that had swallowed the gale sphere.

Qing Yu watched in confusion as the vortex spun around to face her directly.

She grew even more puzzled as the vortex turned again, facing away from her.

In the next second, her pupils constricted.

Boom!

The swallowed gale sphere was ejected like a cannonball, instantly flying into the distance.

Qing Yu was plunged into shock once more.

She couldn't believe this was the gale sphere she had created.

It had become larger, faster, and its rotation was even more powerful!

Her gaze could barely keep up with the ejected gale sphere.

While Qing Yu was in shock,

Lin Fan nodded happily, extremely satisfied with the Spell's effect.

These fifty thousand experience points were definitely well spent.

The only thing he was curious about now was...

...how many Spells a single vortex could hold, and what would happen if a living being entered it.

Should he let Qing Yu go in and try?

Lin Fan glanced at Fenglie out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself.

"Forget it, it would be a loss if something happened to her."

Lin Fan dismissed the thought and checked the System panel again.

Now that the Spatial Vortex was settled, he could proceed to the next step.

He had over seventy thousand experience points left, enough to create a Spell to restrain Qing Yu.

To ensure she wouldn't cause trouble while he was away.

Lin Fan opened the Spell Creator panel again and began creating.

He first selected Space Element, then chose custom creation.

After inputting the desired description for the Spell, several options appeared.

After browsing through them, he was dissatisfied with all the options, so he switched to the Lightning Element and repeated the process.

While looking through the available plans,

Lin Fan found a Spell that met his requirements.

...

[Thunder Covenant: Binds two living beings with lightning—the contractor and the servant.]

[Both parties must abide by the conditions agreed upon under the lightning; violators will suffer Soul lightning strikes based on the severity of the violation.]

[Creation Cost: 50,000 Experience!]

[Rank: Saint-rank Mage!]

...

Perfect.

This way...

...he could reveal his identity to Qing Yu and bring her into the city without worrying about her leaking secrets or going on a rampage while he was away.

After all, she was a god-domain level Demonic Beast.

If she lost control and he wasn't there to stop her, Baiyun City would surely be razed to the ground.

Lin Fan immediately initiated the Spell creation and paid fifty thousand experience points; the System began to operate.

A moment later, the creation was complete, and Lin Fan received a notification.

"Qing Yu, come here."

Lin Fan spoke, slowly taking off his omniscient mask.

Just as Qing Yu was about to step forward, she saw the human take off his mask.

She had expected to see the aged face of an evil old man.

But the scene before her left her completely stunned.

How could he be so young and so good-looking?!

Because this masked human's strength was so formidable and he had always been so intimidating to her...

...Qing Yu had originally thought...

...that Lin Fan was a decrepit old man with one foot in the grave.

That in order to control two elements simultaneously instead of the usual one, he had embarked on the path of dark magic experimentation.

Furthermore, things like dark magic experiments were usually accompanied by terrifying side effects.

For example, experiments might ruin one's appearance or bring health risks to the experimenter.

This made her imagine Lin Fan as a hideous, ugly old man, which was why he wore that white mask all day long.

Coupled with his chilling attitude, not only were her thoughts not dispelled, but she became even more convinced.

So when Lin Fan took off the mask and revealed his true face, Qing Yu was so shocked she was speechless.

He wasn't at all the fierce-looking, elderly man with a nearly exhausted Lifespan that she had expected.

On the contrary, he was an extremely handsome young man who looked exceptionally youthful!

He looked only a few years older than her human form.

"Could this be the result of another one of his experiments?"

Qing Yu pondered to herself, truly unable to believe that Lin Fan's current face was real.

"You... how can you look like this?"

Despite being scared to death of Lin Fan, Qing Yu couldn't help but blurt out the question.

"What do you mean, like this?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and asked back, wondering to himself.

Did this Fenglie expect him to look like a sheep or something?

"Just... looking like a young human."

Qing Yu explained.

Lin Fan looked at her blankly for a moment.

Before speaking.

"I am a young man; I'm not even twenty yet."

Qing Yu: "..."

Impossible!

How is that possible?

How could a human under twenty be strong to such an extent?

Even the children of the great Families in other top-tier cities didn't have such strength.

Qing Yu didn't believe it for a second.

She simply decided in her heart that he was lying for some reason.

Lin Fan saw the conflicted expression on the Fenglie bird's face.

But he didn't bother to explain further, still ordering her to approach in that cold tone.

Qing Yu's body trembled.

"That's right, he's definitely lying!"

She screamed in her mind, slowly walking up to Lin Fan and stopping a few feet away from him.

Qing Yu stared at Lin Fan nervously, wondering what he was going to do next.

Meanwhile,

Lin Fan took a deep breath, his eyes slowly changing color, rippling with a purple halo.

Thunder Covenant was a Saint-rank Spell.

Lin Fan had never cast a Saint-rank Spell before, nor did he know the necessary medium for casting one.

But he didn't need to worry about that.

As long as he locked onto the Spell he wanted to cast with a thought, the System would handle everything for him.

Having made up his mind,

Lin Fan focused his mind on the newly created Spell.

In the next moment,

Purple stars suddenly emerged around him and Qing Yu at an incredible speed.

In an instant, they were completely surrounded.

In another blink of an eye, it was as if they were standing in a sea of stars.

Not just Qing Yu,

Even Lin Fan was startled by the sheer number of purple stars filling the sky.

The stars then connected with each other.

Operating simultaneously, they traced the patterns required for the formation of a Saint-rank Spell.

Within just a breath's time,

Lin Fan and Qing Yu saw countless stars condense into twenty Star Arrays!
