Seized by the System

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Due to Fang Ning's previous real battlefield experience of personally launching an attack, he could not help but start to use his plentiful experiences in deriving a change to the situation.

Although the last process was imperfect, he had somewhat succeeded in it, so instead of being called a battlefield rookie, he should be addressed as a battlefield shrimp.

He had a general idea of the System's substantial resources, and it seemed to have nothing much in hand to counter this fellow.

This fellow had an extremely high level of power. Based on that one point he made at the sky, he was at least Inland-sea Level. It was extremely remarkable for him to pierce through the sky with just one finger, and he truly deserved being called a Heavenly Treasured Child in the upper realm.

As for this ultimate technique that the System barely used, he had a pretty good idea about it.

The Four Symbols Sealing Formation was perfect for killing by groups, the Heavenly Sword Fusion was specialized for breaking tortoise shells, the Bodhi Flower Formation allowed it to surpass levels to imprison enemies, and the Four Concurrent Dragons was the most flexible tactic.

After thinking over again, these techniques seemed to be sufficient to counter ordinary devils, but would they be enough for a fellow with such a profound background, and was born from the most orthodox cultivation path?

Did they need to consume precious Heavenly Merits again?

They only had around three thousand Heavenly Merit Points to use as the others were being sealed away by Axiom Daddy, and were only usable if they completed the task of creating the Milky Way Nets Above SnareS Below.

All along, the System would rather let Ling Yunzi and Zhi Nan escape than to use the Heavenly Merit Points to summon the Heavenly Axiom to suppress their enemies.

The reason was simple. Those merit points were only to be used as the last resort, and could not be wasted on farming experience points. This was because farming spots with merit points would be equivalent to buying experience with money. Although the System employed the "Pay-To-Win" method, it was not "inhumane".

Towards this, he felt very perturbed as he fixed his gaze on the big screen.

Right then, Yun Ze shocked everyone by piercing the sky with one finger. On the other hand, Ling Yunzi's body moved a little as if he was trying to use his escape technique.

In the end, ripples appeared in the air, which meant that his escape technique failed.

Upon seeing that, Yun Ze furrowed his brows, and a haze could be seen through his eyes.

Ling Yunzi was not anxious at all, he could tell that he was not mad at all at his attempt to escape. Instead, he was dissatisfied that he could not break Vigilante A's sealing technique.

He instantly said, "Sir Yun, looks like you've lost some of your powers when you descended to this realm, or else you would've really put a hole through Heaven and Earth just now."

"Hmph, if it's not for the revered Taoists who have different plans, I would've…" Yun Ze did not finish his sentence, he only operated magical energy all over his body, causing the same sharp ray to shine on his fingertip as he attempted to point a second time.

However, it was then when a voice echoed in Heaven and Earth. "Strike of Heavenly Fortune!"

Ling Yunzi's body trembled, he then subconsciously looked towards Vigilante A!

To his surprise, he saw his body glimmering in gold, casting a thousand beams of light.

All of a sudden, somewhere within Heaven and Earth, a mysterious power was coming into play.

"Ah! How is this possible!" Followed by that, he heard Yun Ze screaming in torture, so he quickly turned to look.

He saw that this young man with long hair over his shoulder no longer had a bit of the haughty demeanor he had from before. Instead, he knelt with both knees on the ground, and was suffering in immense pain.

A fingertip was already broken, and he became frail and powerless. Around him, blood stains were vaguely seen, which appeared to be extremely frightening…

When he looked carefully, he found that those blood stains were just like the ones on the sky.

This, could it be a rebound?

How could it be so coincidental?

As a matter of course, Ling Yunzi knew that all techniques had the possibility of being rendered ineffective. Especially on battlefields where everything constantly changed, if one had no mental resilience, one would easily fail to perform one's techniques…

This was similar to human battlefields, where firearms could be jammed, and tanks could malfunction. The operation of magical energy was a delicate task, such that only those who usually tempered it into their natural abilities were able to apply it successfully on a battlefield.

More often than not, some battlefield rookies would fail to operate it, and would injure themselves before even hurting their enemies.

However, for Yun Ze who was a Heavenly Treasured Child, this should not happen…

Was it because the Sky-Piercing Finger could only be used once, and would be too forceful for him to use it twice?

Ling Yunzi was still confused after many thoughts, he only felt chills in his heart. This time, it looked like he had to bleed to protect himself.

He made a prompt decision. By moving his body a little, he was about to form a cloud fog…

However, it was then when he was suddenly terrified. It turned out that this technique of turning his body into fog that he was so proficient in and had already become his natural ability, could not be performed halfway through.

Embarrassed, he noticed that his lower body had turned into fog, while his upper body was still in human form…

After that moment of awkwardness, he became horrified, which was very rare of him.

Ever since he succeeded in his cultivation, he barely experienced fear.

That being said, today, he finally had a taste of this feeling again.

This was because, if he failed to perform this technique, he must revert back to his human form. Or else, he would be stuck in a half-human, half-fog form from then on!

If that were to happen, it would be extremely lucky for him to be alive, let alone be cultivating the Great Path!

As soon as Ling Yunzi thought about this, out of fear, he quickly performed his Reverting Technique.

What made him more terrified was that his Reverting Technique failed as well…

"Ah, this is impossible, how can I even get a simple question like 1+1=2 wrong?!"

That was right. For him, performing these two techniques were as simple as a student solving 1+1.

Nonetheless, he still got it wrong!

Therefore, once again, he failed to perform his technique!

After being taken aback, Ling Yunzi was unbothered about being judged at, he continued performing his techniques.

However, the more he tried, the more he failed!

Soon, his face began to look like ashes after he tried three times in a row.

Meanwhile, Yun Ze attempted to operate some technique to heal his wounds but he, too, failed again and again.

Above all, Ling Yunzi was a cunning man. From feeling panicked and scared in the beginning, he quickly calmed down.

He lifted his head slowly to look at Vigilante A on the opposite, then uttered coldly, "Heavenly Fortune? Is this the Heavenly Fortune?"

"This is the real power of Heaven and Earth, my enemies are also the enemies of Heaven and Earth!" Vigilante A replied with a composed look.

"How detestable. Sure enough, your world is different, I've underestimated you." Ling Yunzi gritted his teeth as he rejoined.

"Hmph, it's too late for you to say this now." Vigilante A remarked, then transformed into a red dragon all of a sudden, and pounced towards the two of them!

…

Fang Ning quickly looked at the System Notification.

[The System activated "Heavenly Fortune". Skill effects: Within 30 minutes of activating the skill, a state of "being assisted by Heavens and Earth" will be achieved. Any chance of improvement in all probabilistic events will happen. The usage of the skill can be restored with Heavenly Merit Points, with one usage consuming 1 Heavenly Merit Point. Current number consumption is 2.]

["Yun Ze" the Heavenly Treasured Child from the upper realm performed Sky-Piercing Finger but suffered a rebound.]

[Ling Yunzi performed Cloud Fog Transformation but failed.]

[The System used "Flame Dragon Devours The Sky", the System captured "Yun Ze", and the System captured two-thirds of Ling Yunzi's real body.]

[The System prevented an extreme crisis of the world from being carried out.]

[The System gained one hundred Heavenly Merit Points.]

[The System gained the Astronomical Figure reputation.]

[The System has obtained great reliance from humans of the Earth, and related maps of areas inhabited by humans are automatically opened.]

[The System's Reputation Level advanced from "World Legend Figure" to "Global Mythical Figure", which contains various mysterious effects, and the effects are as below…]

"Damn it, this old man is really so unlawful. Given the situation, a third of his real body still managed to run away?" Fang Ning could not help but feel shocked.

"It didn't run away, it didn't even enter." The System explained.

"I see, I must ask him why he didn't use his dharmakaya this time…"

"Your focus point isn't right, why didn't you ask me why I used the 'Heavenly Fortune' technique this time?" Flustered, the System asked.

"Of course I won't ask, the System Notification has notified me about it, you were rewarded with Heavenly Merit Points, so you didn't suffer any loss. Besides, you have two chances to use them for free." Fang Ning was at a loss for words.

"Uh, what a pity. I was thinking to claim some from you." The System was dispirited.

"Enough with the nonsense. Now I remember, quickly release my newly recruited disciples, let them rest for some time, the green-skinned frog's butt almost exploded." Fang Ning was full of sympathy when he said this.

"Alright, I'll bring them back now."
