Chapter 391: Chapter 193: The All-Encompassing Night
Lin Ye frowned.
He had lost.
From the moment the battle began, he’d had a feeling he might lose this fight.
But he never expected to lose so bafflingly, so inexplicably.
’What in the world just happened?’
’What were those distorted silhouettes in the darkness, that maddening static?’
The more Lin Ye thought about it, the deeper the chill in his heart grew.
However, he didn’t dwell on the failure itself for too long.
He had never really expected to sweep through everyone and go straight to the top.
This world was too big, and there were too many powerful people.
There was no shortage of powerful beings beyond his comprehension.
He glanced at his quest list.
[Challenge Quest: A New History (Completed)]
His objective was complete.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ye chose to log out.
His consciousness returned to his body.
Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw were the faces of Zhang Daoxuan and Dongfang Zhen, staring intently at him.
The sky outside had gone completely dark.
The sun had long since set, and a few energy-saving lamps lit the Martial Arts Hall.
The two of them had clearly been watching all of his battles.
"This Ye Wujiang..."
Dongfang Zhen was the first to speak, breaking the silence. His expression was exceptionally grave.
"I’d only ever heard of him from the elders in my family. He’s an extremely mysterious person."
"Mr. Lin, how... how did you lose in the end?"
Lin Ye thought for a moment, organized his thoughts about the experience, and then recounted it.
After hearing his description, profound shock and doubt appeared on the faces of both Dongfang Zhen and Zhang Daoxuan.
Dongfang Zhen pressed, "So, did the system tell you the reason for your defeat in the end?"
"Did it say you left the battle map and were automatically given a loss?"
Lin Ye was a little surprised to hear that.
Then, he nodded.
Dongfang Zhen slapped his thigh. "That’s it!"
"Mr. Lin, the national martial arts exam is in one month."
"This year, the Imperial Capital has Xia Lianxue, and Yanjing has Xiao Lingchen. They’re both strong. But I believe if you want to take first place in the nation, Ye Wujiang will be your greatest threat."
"That ability of his... I once asked my family’s elders about it."
"Based on their experience, they analyzed it and concluded that it must be an extremely rare, spatial-type ability."
A spatial-type ability!
Those words struck Lin Ye’s mind like a bolt of lightning.
He instantly understood everything!
It was a moment of sudden enlightenment!
No wonder the system said he had left the battle map!
So he had really been teleported, or rather, sucked into an alternate dimension that Ye Wujiang had created!
’Hmm... it probably wasn’t one he created himself.’
Lin Ye was more inclined to believe it was a world that already existed.
Ye Wujiang’s ability merely opened a door to that world and threw him inside.
Once he figured this out, the faint unease Lin Ye felt from the unknown vanished without a trace.
In its place was a feeling of sudden, thorough clarity.
As long as he knew the principle behind it, there was always a way to counter it.
This time, he’d been completely blindsided by a Martial Arts Spirituality he’d never seen before, and the system mechanics of Martial Arts Peak had only sealed his fate.
’If this were a battle in the real world...’
A counter-strategy immediately formed in Lin Ye’s mind.
As long as he left one of his created minions behind in the real world before the fight began...
...then even if he were dragged into that bizarre, dark world, he could use his "Castling" ability to return in an instant!
What’s more, he now had an SS-rank Martial Arts Spirituality that was about to awaken.
’The outcome is still far from certain!’
