Chapter 789 - 782: Technique Domain

Chapter 789: Chapter 782: Technique Domain

A side kick connected squarely!!

It looked ordinary, but the result stunned everyone watching!

Outside the arena, Anjina’s mouth fell slightly agape from her spectator’s seat, astonished by the last strike.

’He can not only sense Bolaka’s position, but he can actually launch an attack in an instant!’

’What’s most unbelievable is that with Bolaka’s Rune power, he still couldn’t dodge that seemingly ordinary blow. That means the attack was far more complex than it appeared.’

’This guy... he’s actually this strong?’

’It looks like his victory in the last fight wasn’t just good luck. It was real strength.’

’Right, who was his opponent in the last match?’

At this thought, a strong sense of curiosity washed over Anjina. She opened the team interface and looked up Zhou Yuanjue’s battle history.

When she saw the name of Zhou Yuanjue’s previous opponent, she froze once more.

Qianyue Jian · Yuehen?!!

’The Descendant of the Moon Trace Lineage, the one considered the strongest of the Red Moon Civilization’s candidates in this batch?!!’

’His first opponent wasn’t a nobody. On the contrary, he was a top-tier expert.’

’More importantly, he actually won.’

’This is just... unbelievable...’

’Is he really that strong?’

Anjina watched, stunned. Her gaze fell upon the figure on the battle screen, who was slowly retracting his leg as he stood in the center of the battlefield.

「True Land Second Layer, Observation Room.」

The Evil Dragon Life and the Sacred Lotus member were also closely watching this battle.

"Did you see that?"

The Sacred Lotus member asked the Evil Dragon Life.

"An obvious attack like that should never have hit Bolaka. But just now, in the instant he kicked, Bolaka froze for a split second. That’s how he was caught off guard and took a direct hit."

"The ability to produce that effect... it seems to be a ’Technique Domain’?"

The Evil Dragon Life said uncertainly.

"There’s no mistaking it. Although it was brief, you can see it’s the prototype of a Technique Domain."

The Sacred Lotus member nodded and said.

The so-called Technique Domain actually originates from the Red Moon Civilization.

Fighting races like the Moon Trace Race, along with many similar groups within the Red Moon Civilization, are proficient in numerous techniques that utilize the body and Energy for close-quarters combat.

Most of these techniques focus on concentrating power and precisely combining Energy into points or lines to inflict immense damage on an opponent.

However, these techniques have a drawback: most require close-quarters combat. If a Warrior faces a special opponent who maintains their distance, they are at a great disadvantage.

So, some of the most skilled among them developed a new method.

Using their own powerful Spirit, Energy, techniques, or other means, they form an influential zone within a certain radius. This zone affects attributes like Energy and Spirit. Inside this area, an opponent’s actions will be hindered to some degree. This imbalance gives a supremely skilled Warrior a massive advantage once they close the distance.

Every Combat Technique, every Ability System, and every different Physical Talent can result in a unique Technique Domain. It is a higher-level concept, beyond mere Technique. Reaching it often requires long periods of honing, an extremely high state of mastery, and extraordinary Talent.

This is a Domain exclusive to Warriors who have mastered their Techniques.

Even Qianyue Jian of the Red Moon Civilization is still hovering at this threshold, just one step shy of a breakthrough.

"We never saw him use a similar technique in his previous fights. Could he have been holding back during his battle with Qianyue Jian?"

The Evil Dragon Life said in confusion.

"Unlikely. In the last fight, both sides should have been pushed to their absolute limits. It’s impossible he was still hiding such an ability. It’s highly probable he comprehended it *during* that previous fight."

The Sacred Lotus member said in a deep voice.

"Comprehended it in the last battle? That’s impossible. The time between then and now is too short."

The Evil Dragon Life said, somewhat disbelieving.

"There are beings in this universe who are born for battle. Combat is the nutrient that fuels their evolution. With every all-out fight, they undergo a metamorphosis. This little guy is very likely one of them."

the Sacred Lotus member said.

"Is that so?"

The Evil Dragon Life stared at the screen, its eyes narrowing slightly.

Back in the arena, Bolaka had been struck head-on by Zhou Yuanjue’s side kick. The terrifying Energy turned his body into a cannonball, carving a visible, concave tunnel through the air as he shot into the distance. He flew for dozens of kilometers before the impact force began to subside. Only then did he manage to use the five-colored halo of light around him to halt his momentum.

Under the formidable defense of the halo formed by the Five Colored Seal Beads, his physical body hadn’t sustained much damage. However, he discovered a crack had actually appeared on the five-colored light.

’This was the defense formed by my five life-bound Seal Beads—my strongest protection! And it cracked from a single kick.’

’The five Seal Beads were intrinsically linked to my will and Energy; they are critical to my performance from here on out. In other words, that single kick has already significantly impaired my power.’

’Just one inconspicuous blow had such power... and that strange vibration from before, it was able to disrupt the sequencing of Energy and slow my reaction time. What kind of ability is that?’

The concept of a Technique Domain was still completely foreign to a candidate like Bolaka, who, much like Zhou Yuanjue, had only recently entered the True Realm. All he knew for certain right now was that he had to stop Zhou Yuanjue from getting close, no matter what.

’He’s not coming after me?’

’Confidence? Or is it arrogance?’

Bolaka narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhou Yuanjue, who remained where he stood, not giving chase. A glint flashed in Bolaka’s eyes.

"You’ve lost your best chance."

He deactivated his invisibility. He knew it was of little use against Zhou Yuanjue anyway.

CLAP!!

He slammed his palms together. The five-colored halo of light dissipated, reforming into the five Seal Beads behind him.

These Seal Beads now seemed to be fully activated, all of them bursting with dazzling light.

HUMMM!!

The Seal Beads spun behind his head, faster and faster, until their light merged into one, looking as if there was a huge halo behind his head, making him look like a Divine Being.

Five Seals of the Self Freeing and All Knowing God.

Terrifying Energy escaped from his eyes, and the surrounding space and Energy were violently churned.

Even when facing Anjina, he had defeated her by merging only Four Seals.

But against Zhou Yuanjue, he had now unleashed his strongest state: all five seals. It was clear how seriously he was taking his opponent!
