Extra's Strategy: Cultivate Protagonists, Become Invincible-Chapter 92: Kowtow Before Daddy!

Li Yuan and Zhu Huang, two adventurous young cultivators from the Limitless Pill Sect, were caught off guard by how enthusiastic their fast-approaching opponent in the fog sounded.

Both of them were expecting to be greeted with a violent storm of weapons and Mystic Arts at this stage of the inheritance test. After all, they had been attacked twice so far; both times their opponents had used crudely created law fragments.

After beating those bastards up, they had managed to extract some clues about the rules of this stage of the inheritance test.

Li Yuan and Zhu Huang were from a sect that used similar law techniques to increase their ability to create better pills. So it was somewhat advantageous to them, having a large amount of past experience on using them to affect somebody.

This was the reason why, despite having cultivated alchemic expertise instead of battle techniques, they could steamroll their way through the second stage so easily.

Of course, they did not have the ability to use law fragments to win every battle. Even activating one law fragment was hard enough. The majority of the cultivators who had reached the second stage of the inheritance test had spent all of their resources to fuel the law fragments protecting them from the fog.

And this is where the competition started. The second stage of the test required one to collect power sources to activate law fragments, in other words, the floating emerald orbs in this particular area of the fog.

These emerald orbs functioned differently from the red ones. The emerald orbs were like tiny banks of power sources. Whoever could collect one would be able to fuel their law fragments and easily win the upcoming battles.

Li Yuan and Zhu Huang had worked together seamlessly since then, and managed to gather two emerald orbs; approximately enough to activate at least ten law fragments. Both of them had been feeling jubilant when they heard the shout coming from their back.

"Kowtow before daddy!"

The shout was uncannily unnerving when it came from a roiling mass of fog, each syllable increasing in volume as if to establish the fact that the owner of the voice was moving toward them fast.

Their nerves tightened to the extreme, Zhu Huang and Li Yuan stepped back and prepared to cast the law fragments they had prepared in advance. The moment the enemy revealed himself, both of them would attack simultaneously, leaving no opportunity for the other party to recover or defend themselves.

But what came out of the fog was a rusty spear!

The two young men might have been caught off guard, but they certainly were not slow by any means. Both of their reaction came incredibly fast as they hurried aside to dodge the spearhead.

But their attacker, who turned out to be a thin young man with a well-masked appearance, did not idly watch the show. He leaped back inside a thick cloud of fog and pulled out two pieces of a broken breastplate and planted them in the ground.

Li Yuan and Zhu Huang managed to dodge the attack and immediately tried to return the favor. They had an advantage of numbers. Li Yuan and Zhu Huang had practiced the drill dozens of times.

Without missing a beat, Li Yuan ran in a curve, avoiding their enemy and positioning himself far behind him while Zhu Huang maintained his position in front of the young man.

A two-pronged attack had double the advantages when it came to this type of battle.

Barely had the enemy straightened his back after placing the scrap metals on the ground when Zhu Huang took out his own law fragment, written on a piece of jade, an action that was mirrored by Li Yuan dozens of meters away behind their opponent.

Both of them clutched one emerald orb in their hands and one piece of jade in the other, chanting the command together.

"Activate!"

All law fragments are limited by thousands of natural laws. But as long as one was creative enough and had the spirit to experiment fearlessly, making the best use of these natural limitations could bring astounding results.

For example, the law fragment that both Li Yuan and Zhu Huang had used just now.

The emerald orbs that fueled the power of laws were all a part of one giant source. The two had come up with a law that used this particular connection among all emerald orbs and intensified the connection by a hundredfold.

It was the maximum amount they could reach without consuming too much power per activation, as well as not violating the natural laws behind the technique that created this entire inheritance ground.

As soon as their law fragments activated simultaneously, a strange magnetic domain connected the two pieces of jade on their hands and trapped their opponent within it. The power source in their opponent’s hand was rendered completely stagnant as two opposing domains of law suppressed any sort of movement it could make, regardless of its owner’s mental commands.

In this stage of the inheritance test, the first and foremost priority in duels was to render your opponent unable to use any type of law techniques. Li Yuan and Zhu Huang had found an excellent way to accomplish this.

Trapped between their law fragments, their opponent couldn’t muster a single iota of his emerald orb’s power.

A triumphant grin spread across Zhu Huang’s face as he slowly advanced toward their opponent in practiced rhythm, with Li Yuan approaching from the other direction.

The constant pull and push from two directions made the opponent’s power source completely unstable and useless. Even if their opponent’s skills in the language of laws far surpassed their own, he wouldn’t be able to regain control over it now.

Only the physical type of attack was left now, and neither Li Yuan nor Zhu Huang was going to back down from a two-to-one duel.

However...

Their opponent suddenly dropped the power source from his hand. Their eyes followed its downward fall.

Was he going to try and battle them with other techniques?

Zhu Huang imperceptibly took out a blinding pill and a paralyzing pill, a movement that was mirrored by Li Yuan.

But their opponent did not charge at them like they had expected him to. Instead, he pulled back one of his feet and kicked at the fallen emerald orb. It shot out of the range of their battle faster than their eyes could follow.

Zhu Huang’s eyes tracked its trajectory subconsciously, and he realized that it was going in the same direction as the spear thrown at them a moment ago. That spear had sunk into the ground some distance away.

Vaguely, Zhu Huang noticed some familiar-looking engravings on the spear’s body, blurred by the fog.

But a second later, the emerald orb struck that spear accurately, and a bright green glow exploded from the shaft.

The explosion created a dim wave of light that coursed through a massive area. Zhu Huang, Li Yuan, and their enemy got an eyeful of it.

"What the hell was that supposed to do?"

The moment this thought appeared in his mind, he felt the world around him beginning to blur. The process was slow, but he could feel a heady sensation that he only felt when he overexerted his spiritual capacity during pill-making.

Zhu Huang figured out what just had taken place. Their enemy had used a remote mental command to activate the law fragment etched on his spear!

But how was this possible?! Affecting such a large area, and activating a law from so far away, that too a law that had no connection to the attributes of the power source?

No one in the physique transformation realm could do anything remotely similar! It was impossible!

But their opponent was not finished. He pushed his arms out and shouted gleefully.

"Astral Heatwave!"

Zhu Huang felt like his very existence had been struck by a giant war chariot. Briefly, he saw the back of his own head, a visage that made no logical sense before his vision darkened.

Just before he lost the last bit of his senses, he heard footsteps coming from behind. Was someone coming to intervene? Zhu Huang’s heart was filled with hope suddenly.

But then the newcomer shouted.

"Boss?! What the hell are you doing? There are no beauties here to impress! You almost killed us, trying to show off like that!"

...What?

And then, Zhu Huang felt someone hit the back of his head with an ordinary stick. His world went dark.
