68: Chapter 67 (Major Revision) The Power of the Dao Fruit—[Supernatural Power—Summoning Wind and Rain]!

Most of the Li family's Duel Secret Realm features a rocky terrain. The entire secret realm resembles a dead, desolate mountainous area, and under the shroud of thick fog, it feels even more desolate and terrifying.

However, once Sun Po unfolded his [Tianhe Budu], it was also quite frightening.

Under the blood-red setting sun, dark shadows flickered faintly within the dark green river water.

On the bank, neatly arranged Underworld Soldiers held long halberds, taking the river as a boundary and waiting in strict formation.

The dark green [Water Soldier]s who had appeared during the municipal tournament duel against Xu Xiu stood at the front, gazing at the thick fog on the opposite bank and listening to the terrifying roars, with true qi faintly circulating between their palms.

Beside the military tent behind them, several Underworld Soldiers holding drumsticks likewise placed their hands near the military drum, waiting in strict formation.

Sun Po stood in front of the grave pierced by the [bawang pidi sword], quietly looking at it.

He had already dismissed the [Black Rhino Armor]; this thing consumed far too much spirituality.

[Changyou] on Sun Po's shoulder chuckled and said:

"What's wrong, Master? Missing that big oaf?"

Knowing it was referring to the [Double-Pupil Warrior], Sun Po replied:

"These past few days, I feel that my spiritual connection with the [Double-Pupil Warrior] is becoming clearer day by day, no longer intermittent like before. We should not be far from him."

[Changyou] blinked its golden eyes, moved its six ears of varying sizes on its head, and after a moment said with slight dejection:

"It's a pity. After this closed-door cultivation, although my ears seem stronger than before,"

"I still can't listen to any sounds of fate related to the big oaf, as if he is no longer in this world."

Sun Po was silent for a moment before asking:

"Can you hear the sound of my fate?"

[Changyou] shook its head and said with distress:

"I can't make out yours, Master, nor Liu Jianren's or that Li Tiance's."

"It feels like the sounds of fate of Li Tiance and Liu Jianren are like a grand and complex magnificent movement, with many notes I don't even recognize. The complexity when listening to them is simply too high."

"As for yours, Master, it's just a blank slate; there is nothing for me to hear at all."

Sun Po understood, while a layer of gloom inevitably settled in his heart.

Fate? A blank slate?

Seeing that Sun Po's mood seemed somewhat heavy, [Changyou] said:

"Master, although I didn't discern the sounds of fate for you and the big oaf, my harvest from this closed-door cultivation is also huge."

"Oh? The [Dao Fruit of Water]?"

In his past life as a Huaxia person, Sun Po naturally understood the meaning represented by the two words "Dao Fruit".

The Dao refers to the ultimate truth and laws, while the Fruit represents achievements on the path of exploring those truth and laws.

Generally, being able to use the term "Dao Fruit" indicates that one's cultivation has already reached a certain realm.

That is to say, [Changyou] had already achieved a certain level in the Dao of Water, bearing its own "Fruit," even if it was only an incomplete "Fruit."

...

As the roars grew closer and closer,

soon, figures over two meters tall crawled out from the fog.

This was a very bizarre-looking monster.

Their heads somewhat resembled those of fish overall, yet atop their heads grew twisted deer antlers.

Their bodies were grayish-green, covered in thick scales and turbid, yellowish mucus, with their body surfaces full of scars.

Their bellies were white, wrapped in a layer of keratin, presenting a shape resembling a snake's belly.

Sharp bone spurs grew along their hunchbacked spines, and they dragged a long, scaly tail behind them.

It looked very similar to a monster named "[Deep One]" in Sun Po's impression, yet there were many differences.

Sun Po tried scanning them with the identification wristwatch issued by the [Card Association], and finally, the wristwatch emitted "beep, beep, beep" sounds.

"No data in the current monster database; automatically added to the database."

"High-similarity monsters have been matched for your reference."

Sun Po flipped through them, and the two similar monsters given by the wristwatch were the [Deep One] and Dragonkin.

These two completely unrelated things suddenly bewildered Sun Po.

But upon careful observation, he found that these things indeed combined the characteristics of both monsters.

These monsters ran extremely fast. Just a moment ago they were only seen poking their heads out from the thick fog,

but in a short while, they had already run into the range of [Tianhe Budu].

[Changyou] suddenly flew up from Sun Po's shoulder, like a child who had just solved a difficult problem and was showing off to their parents, calling out to Sun Po with a hint of smugness:

"Master, let me show you what I have comprehended during my closed-door cultivation this time."

With that said, it flew up like a small dandelion.

Led by seven [Water Soldier]s, the Underworld Soldiers formed seven fish-scale formations,

holding halberds to guard the riverside. The moment any enemy invaded, they would directly pierce them into a hornet's nest.

But the trainer of these Underworld Soldiers—[Changyou]—was obviously far more fierce than them,

to the extent that these Underworld Soldiers didn't even need to make a move.

[Changyou] took the lead and flew into the clouds.

Immediately, the wind suddenly rose between the heaven and earth of the Duel Secret Realm.

The thick fog was blown apart a bit.

Heavy dark clouds had quietly suppressed the barren land of this secret realm, shrouding the dark green Wu River.

[Changyou] stood proudly atop the clouds, simply forming a finger incantation and chanting:

[Divine Power - Summoning Wind and Rain]!!

Then it raised its right hand and shouted:

"Fierce wind!!"

As [Changyou]'s voice fell, the original breeze between heaven and earth suddenly increased in strength.

The entire secret realm was filled with the howling sound of the wind, and the thick fog was swept away in an instant.

But it also thoroughly revealed the terrifying scene behind the fog: an endless army of monsters stretching as far as the eye could see.

Overlooking from above the entire Duel Secret Realm, it was as if a grayish-green ocean surrounded a red stream.

Looking down from the sky, [Changyou] also gasped a breath of cold air at this terrifying number of monsters.

"Master, steel yourself; we might strike it rich today!!"

Indeed, seeing this boundless ocean of monsters,

[Changyou]'s first feeling was not pressure, but the joy of about to make a fortune!

A ferocious yet gratifying flash appeared in its golden pupils, its lips curled up, and it suddenly waved its right hand down again:

"Torrential rain!!"

The moment this cry of torrential rain came out,

torrential rain accompanied by fierce winds slanted heavily toward the direction these monsters were charging from.

If the power of the rain under the [Minor Cloud and Rain Formula] + [Sunflower Manual] previously in the [Wujiang Secret Realm] was like bullets,

then the rain under this [Divine Power - Summoning Wind and Rain] was the Dongfeng Express!!

Whether it was the falling speed of the rain, the range of the rain, or the density,

this [Divine Power - Summoning Wind and Rain] was simply not on the same level as the [Minor Cloud and Rain Formula]. After the rain bombarded the charging monster horde,

it truly became like "Suddenly a spring wind blows in the night, thousands of pear trees bloom overnight."

Black clouds in the sky, Wu River on the ground,

forcibly transforming the river water into a death isolation zone paved with the flesh and blood of monsters.

Feeling the overflowing concentration of disaster qi in the air and looking at the piled-up corpses of monsters like mountains,

Sun Po deeply liked one of [Changyou]'s phrases: Master, steel yourself; we might strike it rich today!!

...

Meanwhile, at the main entrance of the campus, beneath a huge palace gate,

eight hundred dark-faced strong men holding long spears slaughtered until the corpses beneath their feet formed mountains. One of them thrust his spear to burst a card in the shape of a female figure in iron armor, and several others immediately rushed forward to pierce the owner of that card as well, roaring wantonly together:

"My lord! I wield the spear! You wield the bow!! Who else in this world can stop us?! Hahaha!"

This scene was truly hypnotic, as if eight hundred dark-faced men had been copy-pasted together speaking simultaneously.

Li Tiance did not reply, merely drawing the golden bow in his hand into a phantom pull. A white-light arrow radiating a strong aura of sharpness condensed in his hand.

"Hum!"

Truly, the bow was like a thunderbolt and the string startled. The white arrow emitted a piercing screech,

driving straight into the neck of the black dragon flying in the sky.

Dragon blood spilled, instantly corroding several unlucky fellows into endless screams.

The black dragon also let out a mournful cry, about to flee the battlefield with arrows all over its body.

Just as Li Tiance was about to pursue, suddenly a majestic aura came from the Duel Secret Realm,

startling both Li Tiance and Yuan Tiangang—who was beating Commander An to a pulp—abruptly:

"Divine power? Which general in the family has returned?!"

Immediately, Li Tiance's brow knitted:

"That's not right! This aura! It's not from my Li family?!"
