Monarch Of Time-Novel

Chapter 149 - 149 Cui Guoliang's request

''I SAID STOP!''

Shun Long's golden eyes, were now emitting a bright blue light from their corners, while the angry water inside the 'Monarch's Domain', had suddenly turned into a docile child.

Cui Guoliang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, since he couldn't believe what he had just felt.

A powerful Dao fluctuation was coming from Shun Long's body, as the water around him was being suppressed by an even stronger power than his own Dao of Water.

Cui Guoliang stared at the scene in front of him in disbelief, as he then mumbled

''Is this Dao suppression? But... I have never heard of the Dao of Light being able to suppress my Dao of Water like this... Could it actually be... that this kid has comprehended another Dao as well?''

Of course, this didn't mean that Shun Long's comprehension in the Dao of Time was at the same level as Cui Guoliang's Dao of Water, but rather... since Cui Guoliang had suppressed his cultivation, his insights to the Dao of Water are currently equivalent to his own, when he was still at the peak of rank 3 in Heaven grade.

Cui Guoliang's breathing had started getting rugged, while at the same time, countless thoughts were running through Shun Long's mind, as he seemed to have entered a state of sudden enlightment

''Time...

Is it really just an untouchable, ethereal feeling?

No, I can feel that it is more than that...

Time exists everywhere, so how can one not be affected by time?''

Shun Long felt as if he had suddenly come a step closer to the Dao of Time, as he then opened his eyes.

Gui Cuoliang's fervent eyes stared at Shun Long as if he was looking at a treasure, while his body quickly floated towards the mouth of the python.

Clenching his metal-colored fists he shouted

''COME KID! SHOW ME YOUR TRUE STRENGTH!''

Shun Long saw the golden-haired man in front of him gathering his strength in his 2 arms, as he sent a violent flurry of punches at him.

Shun Long's body didn't have the same agility inside the water as he had in the land, but as his gaze landed on Cui Guoliang, Shun Long felt a sudden headache, as more than half of his remaining qi was sapped in an instant.

At the same time, unknowingly to Cui Guoliang, his own movements had turned extremely slow.

Seeing that the white-robed man in front of him had suddenly slowed down, Shun Long gathered the power of his 'Monarch's Eternal body' in his right hand, and amplified by the speed of the second 'Monarch's Domain', he sent a full-powered blow at Cui Guoliang's left ribs.

BOOM

The sound of Shun Long's punch hitting Cui Guoliang's body exploded in the throne room, as the golden-haired Dao King was immediately sent flying through the air like a cannonball.

His body crashed on the ground but didn't stop at all, as he left a long chasm on the luxurious floor of the throne room for a few hundred meters.

As the dust started to settle down, Cui Guoliang's tattered robes and injured body came into view.

Staring at Shun Long, the last scene replayed through the golden-haired young man's eyes again, as he simply mumbled

''So fast...''

His lips then curved upwards into a smile, as he said

''Congratulations kid. You win.''

As Cui Guoliang's words sounded in Shun Long's ears, the water python dispersed on the floor, while Shun Long secretly heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

He only had less than 10 percent of his qi left after the fight, and aside from the space tears, he had used every other move he had. Surprisingly, his golden eyes had sapped more than half of his qi in an instant, at the final moment that Cui Guoliang was slowed down.

Cui Guoliang slowly stood up, and despite his tattered robes and injured body, his eyes were shining brightly as he started laughing like a madman

''HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

FINALLY! I CAN SEE HOPE!''

Walking up to Shun Long, the Dao King then patted his shoulders as he continued with a huge smile on his face

''Kid, you have no idea how long I have been waiting for this.''

Then, with a wave of his hand, Cui Guoliang produced a small table along with 2 chairs and a big jar of wine, as he gestured for Shun Long to sit.

Shun Long didn't understand why Cui Guoliang was so excited, if this was really just a trial to 'help the disciples of the Desolate east' like the overseer had said, but in the end, he still sat down on the chair as he faced the white-robed man in front of him.

Cui Guoliang looked at Shun Long who was sitting opposite to him, and taking a deep breath he said

''First of all, let me introduce myself.

I am Cui Guoliang, an Elder of the Cui clan in the Night star continent.

Since you have passed the final trial of my palace, I will of course give you everything that I have promised, and even more.''

As he finished speaking, Gui Guoliang waved his hand, as the floor around them was filled with countless different scrolls.

Some of the scrolls were golden while others seemed old and on the verge of destruction, but in the end, Shun Long counted more than 200 scrolls around him.

Gui Cuoliang looked at the young man in front of him who was staring at the scrolls on the floor and continued

''These, are almost all of the cultivation techniques, martial skills, and secret techniques, that I have acc.u.mulated in the past 10.000 years.

As promised, these can all become yours, but.... I also need you to help me with something.''

When Shun Long heard Cui Guoliang's last sentence, he immediately understood that his previous conjecture was correct, as he thought

''Certainly, there is no such thing as a free meal. Everything requires a corresponding price to pay.''

However, knowing that he needed martial skills above everything else right now, Shun Long turned to look at the man in front of him as he said

''Senior, please speak.''

Cui Guoliang shook his head, as he opened the big jar of wine in front of him, and taking out 2 big jade-green bowls from his spatial ring, he personally filled them up.

When the wine touched the green bowls, its aromatic fragrance slowly diffused in the air around them.

Cui Guoliang was the first who took a sip from his wine, as Shun Long followed right after him.

As the crimson-red wine's taste spread in his mouth, Shun Long understood that this wasn't an ordinary wine.

If he were to compare this wine with the 'Mystifying Fragrance pavilion's', that would be like comparing sea water with a 200 year old nectar.

Although the taste wasn't as good as his own wine, the medicinal essence in this wine was actually superior to his own.

After he emptied his own bowl, Cui Guoliang looked at Shun Long as he then continued with a solemn tone

''I need you to go to the 'Dragon Lord villa' of the Night star continent.''
