Chapter 719: Chapter 533 ’Oath’ Power_1

The possibility of the Dusk nuns who don’t belong here showing up can only be a few scenarios, either Zheng Yichen’s world has met its doom, causing the Dusk nuns from that world to be dispatched elsewhere, or their Brother Chang Qing has also come to this world!

So where is the person?

"Right here."

The white cat spoke and swiftly retreated, avoiding the girls’ grasp and landed on the ground. Zheng Yichen avoided others’ gazes when he came out from behind a pillar, having reverted back to his original appearance.

He hadn’t planned on reverting to his true appearance on this side, but changed his mind upon encountering Liu Hongzhao and the others.

"Brother Chang Qing..." Liu Hongzhao suppressed the excitement in her heart. They never expected to meet Zheng Yichen here, in this moment.

The likelihood of that was incredibly low.

But given the current crowd and many watchful eyes, they didn’t let their excitement show too much.

The enemy might be Boundary Breakers, true, but there were also internal conflicts among the Dusk mercenaries.

She had encountered some Dusk mercenaries who wanted to kill for plunder.

"Let’s go find a suitable place to talk," he suggested.

"Yes, yes, we’re quite familiar with this place," Lin Yaoyao said eagerly.

"Wait for me at the entrance now; I’m going to ride the bike."

When he came out of the garage, the three girls were already waiting at the entrance of the Dusk Cathedral. Their martial training, combined with the changes brought about by the Supreme Demon Blood, gave them an air of remarkable presence, and standing together, they were quite a sight.

Watching Zheng Yichen ride up, they wanted to squeeze onto the bike.

But things weren’t the same as before. Aside from Qi Xiangyun, Liu Hongzhao and Lin Yaoyao used to be somewhat petite; they had grown in stature after martial training.

Squeezing on now would be somewhat ’crowded.’

"Didn’t you bring a bike?"

"It broke down," Qi Xiangyun said somewhat melancholically. "The strength of this world is a bit less than our own, but the power used by the people here is quite unique. During a recent confrontation, our bike broke."

Liu Hongzhao added, "That doesn’t affect us much. We can travel fast using lightness skills."

Lin Yaoyao couldn’t help rolling her eyes. The other two spoke easily— one a Thunder type and the other a Wind type—so naturally, they found lightness skills convenient. She had no such advantage in lightness skills; as a Soil-earth type, she had a spell like ’shrinking the ground to an inch,’ but that was a high-end spell, not some light physical technique.

"Then we’ll custom-make a new set for you after we get back," Zheng Yichen said decisively. The vehicles from the Firmament Wheel world were quite functional, with top-tier materials and equipped force field generators. They weren’t easily damaged.

He didn’t get on the bike and instead walked, with the motorcycle maintaining an autopilot mode beside them. Passersby noticed nothing amiss, seeing the bike as nothing more than an ordinary vehicle under the effect of a cloaking device.

Lin Yaoyao grinned and said, "Thank you, Brother Chang Qing."

Then, she pointed to a building not far away: "That place offers the best lodging around here."

"Do you have local identification?" Zheng Yichen felt a small pouch on his body. It was an ordinary paper bag, but it contained relevant documents for the area, and an offline map had been imported into his phone too.

In this world, he had half a month’s time. The distance from the Dusk area wasn’t too far, about... two thousand kilometers.

"Initially, we didn’t, but some other Dusk mercenaries can forge documents. We obtained usable IDs after trading with them," Qi Xiangyun pulled out an ID card and said a bit forlornly, "I could have made forgeries myself, but this world has a network. The fakes I can make would only look the part and wouldn’t work many places."

Fake IDs differ, the ones without network verification, she could make indistinguishable from real ones, but for the places requiring network verification, a fake was just a fake.

She wasn’t skilled with computer technology, so they had to turn to other mercenaries.

"Let’s head to the wilderness," he proposed.

Zheng Yichen shook his head. He had no intention of going to a hotel. Frankly, he didn’t know much about the overall situation of this world and didn’t want to have too much contact with the locals.

After all, among those he had interacted with, there might be spies from the Boundary Breaking Faction. Without Lilith in the past, he had suffered quite a few losses in this regard.

With Lilith’s presence, he could block those monitoring devices, but he still needed to be cautious.

"That works too," Liu Hongzhao agreed without a second thought. It didn’t matter where they were as they didn’t need to rest now, having already spent nearly two days recuperating at the Dusk Cathedral.

"Brother Chang Qing, you won’t have to fight here alone this time," Qi Xiangyun said excitedly, still holding the snacks that Zheng Yichen had handed to her, which came from the world of magic.

"Actually, I’d prefer you all went back; it would be safer that way. But now that you are Dusk mercenaries, it’s also okay to see things you haven’t seen before."

Zheng Yichen’s words eased the tension on the faces of the three girls a bit. They were quite worried that Zheng Yichen might send them away later. On the surface, this world seemed peaceful but had become very unsafe in reality.

"It’s time to see for ourselves. We’ve been too successful in our past missions," Lin Yaoyao said with a serious face: "We should see the methods of the Boundary Breaking Faction for ourselves. With Brother Chang Qing here, we will be safer."

Despite saying so much, she was still a bit worried about being sent away by Zheng Yichen.

Zheng Yichen smiled: "Originally, I had some things intended to be sent to you through storage lockers. Since I’ve met you here, I might as well give them to you now. Are you interested in magic?"

"Another type of spell?" Qi Xiangyun was curious: "It would be fine to take a look for reference, but I’m afraid learning it won’t work."

As martial artists, they possessed an energy known as Inner Strength, and the ability to use spells was because the creatures in their world inherently had an energy called Spiritual Power.

This energy was innate to living beings, so it didn’t conflict with Inner Strength. The catch was that cultivating both at the same time would consume more energy. Once Spiritual Power became strong, switching to another energy would be challenging. Therefore, they could only reference the magic Zheng Yichen mentioned.

They wanted to see if they could use Spiritual Power instead of the original energy to cast it. If possible, then learning more would be worthwhile. If not, at most, they would understand the methods of utilizing that power for reference or to develop new spells.

"No problem, think of it as extra-curricular reading. Also, I’ve recently obtained some new materials..."

"Brother Chang Qing, we’re far from your level," Liu Hongzhao interjected, placing her sword flat across her thighs: "We’ve had the Supreme Demon Weapons for less than six months, and those acquired from the battle-state Asura for less than a year, whereas such weapons can be passed down for hundreds of years or even longer in most people’s hands."

"Well, it’s never too late to upgrade a weapon," Zheng Yichen smiled: "That kind of material can only be used when you have enough merit points; normal processing methods simply won’t work."

Materials like the Apocalypse Stone were formidable even in their place of origin; True Gods had to exert considerable effort to destroy them, and destruction is simpler than creation. To mold the Apocalypse Stone into something, the energy input required would be even greater.

"Let’s talk about this world for now."

Qi Xiangyun immediately began to describe the situation of this world: "You can see the level of technology in this world, Brother Chang Qing. Firearms and the like have developed quite well, and special powers are well known, with many related schools."

Furthermore, this world has many powerful creatures and monsters, some monsters may have transformed from certain animals, and others might be from people whose powers have gone out of control.

The power used by people in this world is a kind of ’Oath’ power."

"Hmm? That sounds very interesting," Zheng Yichen became interested in this power. Never mind the world of magic, the previous world had Evil Spirits born from mental influences on reality, although that was related to the environment itself.

This world, on the other hand, had ’Oath’ power? How did this power work? What was its form of expression?

"It’s okay, after understanding it, it feels similar to spells or magic. It’s all about the use of special powers, but people in this world have a somewhat... idealistic approach to using those powers," Qi Xiangyun said, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.

"Although talent is required to acquire power in this world, the speed of forming combat power is very fast. As long as an Oath is made, carrying the burden of that Oath grants one powerful strength instantly. The more severe the Oath, the stronger the power obtained."

"Talent is needed, huh." Zheng Yichen nodded, which seemed quite normal. Otherwise, who wouldn’t just make an ’Oath’ to gain power when faced with difficulties? Wouldn’t that lead to chaos in the world?

Qi Xiangyun continued: "Within the scope of their Oaths, people in this world wield great power and can even unleash extremely potent forces when they follow through on certain special Oaths."

"For example, some have made a ’Protection Oath,’ and that kind of power can be fully unleashed only while they are protecting someone bound by that Oath, even exerting several times more strength. Yet, if they initiate a fight outside of protection, they would be no different from an ordinary person."

"And there’s more," Lin Yaoyao quickly added: "We’ve also heard of quite extreme Oaths where a person can use power only for three minutes a day, and that power can only be used against national enemies."

Such a person would indeed be akin to a nuclear weapon. Limited to three minutes each day, coupled with the limitation of only targeting national enemies, it meant that at other times, the person was just a regular individual. Once that three-minute window closed, if confronted with a new national enemy, they could only watch helplessly or be slaughtered like a chicken.

But once the enemy met the criteria, those three minutes... Zheng Yichen thought of the giant of Light, wondering how it would feel to wield such power?
