Chapter 391: Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion

Chapter 391: Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion

The first thing Xiao Tan did was curse. That had become his second nature. As long as there was a living creature in sight and if his skill was not on CD, he would use it. Seven Kills was fifty meters away from Xiao Tan. He naturally felt it. Without any warning, Seven Kills felt his heart squeeze, and he felt pressure on his shoulders. Alarmed, he opened the game menu and noticed the cursed status.

“Hmm... During our previous match, he didn’t use this skill,” Seven Kills said darkly. “A new skill he picked up during this period?” He did not know what the effect of this curse entailed, so his guard was up. Seven Kills chose to remain standing and examined what other influence the curse had on him other than increasing the psychological pressure on him. “What could it be? Undermining one of the stats and causing some damage after a certain period of time.” From Seven Kills’ perspective, he hoped it would be the former. If that was the case, it would be right for him to drag the match out, because that kind of effect would not last and would pass after a while. The longer he delayed the battle, the quicker the curse would pass.

On Xiao Tan’s side, something unexpected happened. Due to the Cross Curse that he unleashed on Seven Kills, his Sorcery Mastery increased to Level C. As the saying goes, piles of sand will eventually build a mountain. After so many days and so many scenarios using this skill, his initial goal had finally been achieved.

“Hmm...This is fated to happen...” Xiao Tan knew it was hard to defeat Seven Kills with his current ability. But if he had a new B-level skill, he might have a chance.

“Hmm...Is he going to make his move now?” Seven Kills saw Xiao Tan reach into his inventory. He thought the man was pulling out some weapon, but to his surprise, Xiao Tan took out a tattered book.

“What the hell is he doing? Is that the Secret Book of Qi Recovery?” (A book originated from the Magic Crane. The book was a consumable, and consuming it would cure all illness and improve one’s ability.) Seven Kills made a baseless speculation.

Xiao Tan removed the Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion and confirmed the learning requirements: Fighting B, Sorcery C, above Level 30. Then, he chose to study it.

Seven Kills clearly saw the book suddenly dissolve into a white light and disappear.

Oh? It’s really a consumable? Could it really be a skill? he thought. But why would he study it in the middle of a battle? Is it some kind of channeling skill that will persist throughout the entirety of the scenario?

Obviously, he was confused by what Xiao Tan was doing.

After learning the skill, he looked at the description of the skill in his skill tab and he said, “It has been used, but what is the use of this skill?”

Indeed, the description of the skill was unhelpful.

———

Effect: Inversing heaven and earth, yin and yang. No cooldown time.

“Sigh...” Passing Rain sighed deeply. “If this happened half a month ago, I would definitely cut off all contact from you.”

Feng Bujue ignored them and returned to the table with a serious lock. He placed his hands on the table and leaned forward. He looked at the flying Xiao Tan on screen and said seriously, “I get it now. His presence is the combination of all of the numerous irregular bugs in the system. He is the final form of anomalous programming. No matter how hard the system works, it cannot remove him from the formula. It cannot ensure the perfect accuracy of math and its harmony.” He took a deep breath. “He is our Savior...Ouch!”

Passing Rain walked behind Brother Jue and pulled the edge of his eyes and mouth to mimic a smiley face.

“Hmm...the guard did not show up to stop me,” Passing Rain commented. “Looks like the system agrees with me.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll stop.” Feng Bujue shrugged. Passing Rain pulled back her hands and rubbed Feng Bujue’s saliva on his clothes.

“Back to the match...” Feng Bujue adjusted his expression and sat down. “Aside from the possibility of Xiao Tan being the savior, this can only be the effect of Mantra of Heaven and Earth, right?”

Laughing Soul answered, “Naturally...or do you think we would buy that nonsense?”

Inside the scenario, in that moment, probably only Xiao Tan himself knew that, he was not flying but ‘falling.’

“So, this is the effect when it says ‘inversion of heaven and earth.’” Xiao Tan was flying upward at an extremely fast speed. He mumbled, “To put it simply, it inverses the effect gravity has on me.”

He lowered his head to look at the ground that was swiftly moving away from him. “Okay. I’ll use the skill again to turn it back to normal.” He paused. “What am I doing? This is a suicide skill. Either I burn through the ozone layer or land splat on the ground and die.”

Of course, he was not entirely powerful. If he turned the gravity back and then used the skill twice in quick succession just as he was about to land, the falling impact would stop. But this repeated use would exhaust his Stamina Points and do nothing else.

“Hmm...Since I am already in the sky, why not...” An idea suddenly crossed Xiao Tan’s mind. When he was young, he bought a secret book from an old beggar for several pennies. The Buddha’s Fist was taught in the book. I seem to have a skill that can attack people from the sky.

He thought he would be able to do it at that moment. But of course, that did not happen.

Xiao Tan was only thinking about using Shadow Soul Impel. He wanted to use his falling speed and use his ultimate on Seven Kills. With that plan in mind, he calmed himself and used Mantra of Heaven and Earth Inversion again. The change of gravity was very sudden, but it did not damage Xiao Tan. He felt like a ping-pong ball bouncing back on the paddle, and he turned back to the ground.

Moments later, Seven Kills, who stood on the ground, finally saw Xiao Tan again.

“And here I thought the kid is planning to fly away from earth,” Seven Kills grumbled. Seconds later, when he saw the approaching opponent, his expression shifted. “Wait...what is he doing? Is this Cross Arm Dive?”
