Chapter 85 The Confession

"Who exactly are you?"

Just then, the blurry figure spoke again. The silence just now seemed to be because it was thinking about something, or perhaps it was because it was sizing up Xu Lun.

Although it was just a seemingly reasonable question, it gave the feeling of falling into an ice cave—

It is issuing itself an ultimatum.

Xu Lun immediately tensed up and became extremely vigilant!

He could sense that the voice was testing him; this question was his last and only chance, and he didn't dare to even imagine the consequences if he answered poorly...

Xu Lun glanced at the bracelet subconsciously and saw that the section of the bracelet that looked like it was made of crystal began to emit a faint blue light, which flickered on and off.

"really..."

Xu Lun's heart skipped a beat. There was indeed danger, but judging from the frequency of the bracelet's lights, it didn't seem too serious yet, and it was in a state of uncertainty.

The answer you are about to give may determine the other party's next move.

With this thought in mind, Xu Lun felt there was nothing to hide, so he might as well tell the truth.

Just as the Western Mackerel King said before, at this level, even a pig has extraordinary intelligence, let alone this mysterious Azure King. Regardless of its species, its strength is far superior to that of the Western Mackerel King.

So Xu Lun simply relaxed, raised his left hand, showed his wrist, and confessed:

"I don't know if you can see this, but that's why I came here, not to this snow mountain, but to this world."

That's right, I'm not from this world. I come from another world; I've traveled here from another time.

As for my purpose in coming here, if I had to put it simply, it's to cause trouble!

Xu Lun immediately straightened his chest, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he were shouldering some great mission.

He himself didn't know why he suddenly became so confident, but as he spoke, he got really into it.

"My bracelet is incredibly powerful; you could think of it as a cheat code. However, I've only developed a portion of its functions yet, so it's not complete."

At least I know that no matter how strong the enemy is, as long as he dares to attack me, I can copy his abilities and even simulate some of his abilities in subsequent battles.

I came into this world to test just how powerful this bracelet really is, so when I say I'm going to cause trouble, I'm not joking.

To put it bluntly, I want to constantly challenge those strong individuals, to stimulate this bracelet by risking my life, to activate its potential, until I fully grasp its secrets.

These are my honest thoughts, whether you believe them or not, I believe them.

"Snap!"

Through the television screen, a crystal glass was seen shattered on the floor by Station Chief Huang, but he seemed completely unconcerned, his eyes fixed on the television screen, as he slowly uttered two words:

"Awesome..."

You just said it so bluntly?

...

Inside the Crystal Palace.

After Xu Lun finished speaking, he stood tall and straight, facing the figure standing in the ice mirror. At the same time, his mind was as calm as still water, and he did not reveal the slightest flaw.

After a brief silence, the voice slowly came through:

"Your statement is interesting, but its truth is hard to discern and it's unlikely to convince everyone. Why not try it out and verify its authenticity..."

Xu Lun was immediately startled. His eyes were fixed on the figure in the ice mirror, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

The figure hadn't moved an inch within the ice mirror since it appeared, yet the voice that had just rang out came from behind him—

Xu Lun glanced at the bracelet subconsciously.

However, at the same time, a sinister wind carrying hidden dangers swiftly attacked from behind. Just sensing its presence made the hairs on his body stand on end!

Xu Lun's first reaction was to dodge to the side. He lunged forward, but before his hands could touch the ground, something suddenly gripped his waist tightly, and in the blink of an eye, he was lifted up and hoisted into the air, getting further and further away from the ground—

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the dome of the Crystal Palace seemed to have been smashed open by something. Xu Lun watched as countless crystal-clear fragments fell around him with a crackling sound.

But his perspective continued to rise.

The moment he burst out of the Crystal Palace, a cold wind rushed in from all directions, making his lips twitch.

He saw the ground getting farther and farther away from him, and he could even see the entire terrain of the snow mountain.

Because he was being pulled upwards by that thing, and with constant air currents hitting him from all sides, Xu Lun's body was shaking violently, almost shaking his brains to pieces. He had no way to control his neck muscles and see clearly what was grabbing him.

Xu Lun had no choice but to struggle and reach out to touch his abdomen, because he felt something clamping his body, and he felt a great external force pressing on his chest and back, making it hard for him to breathe.

However, the moment he touched it, the icy touch startled him, as if he had touched a sharp sword.

Immediately afterward, a surge of immense power rushed into his body, as if the environmental disturbances had vanished. He looked down sharply and was astonished to find what was gripping him tightly—

It has a huge claw, like the claw of a bird of prey, thick and sharp, with the protruding hook-shaped tip alone being the size of a scimitar.

Xu Lun hesitated for only a moment, then grabbed one of the claws with both hands—

The immense power that surged into his body from the triggering mechanism of the bracelet was instantly poured into that claw!

The thick, sharp eagle talon was instantly covered with a layer of frost—

This wasn't an ability from a skill book. Xu Lun knew very well that the [Frost Breath] he simulated wasn't as domineering as this power, whether in terms of freezing speed, intensity, or hardness.

In an instant, the claw that Xu Lun had grabbed was completely frozen into an ice sculpture, and frost continued to spread upwards along the claw at such a speed that even the Azure King himself above was somewhat surprised.

"It really does have the same power as me?!"

Before the icy power could spread to its wings, it struggled free, forcefully breaking through the ice sculpture and spreading its claws—

With that one movement, Xu Lun was instantly flung out, bobbing left and right in the air like a plastic bag.

A cold wind rushed towards him from all directions, and the chaotic air currents made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"Damn it..."

Xu Lun cursed inwardly as he struggled desperately in the air.
