Chapter 92: Omnidirectional Pendulum
On a wooden chair that was engraved with beautiful floral design sat a black-haired young man with sharp eyebrows and a pointed nose.
In his hand was a white porcelain cup filled with a black bitter liquid.
David took a small sip to clear his head of unnecessary thoughts.
The world that he was currently in was filled with complete psychopaths and degenerates.
People here were so twisted in their thought process. They would go to any length to feel pleasure and pain, something that made them feel alive.
And the most important thing: they were immortal. They couldn't die no matter what.
They could neither be chained nor killed, a perfect combination for a lawless world.
In these two months, David had understood a couple of things about this world.
Firstly, the people in this world couldn't cultivate, and secondly, he had a feeling as if the world was slowly trying to devour him.
This feeling made him strongly question Mary's words from two months ago.
He didn't think this place stored any secrets to help him advance his Crystallisation of life.
And lastly, this place was the nemesis of David; if people didn't die, the recovery option would not appear.
In these two months, he had done his best to search for a void stone and escape this place for good.
The monstrous trio were trying their best, although they wanted to stay and find out what mysteries this place held, but David was adamant about leaving, so they could only give up.
Cling!
Suddenly, the gate of his room opened, and an old man with a white beard entered inside.
He looked to be in his early fifties with small wrinkles on his face; his black-colored pupils were filled with wisdom.
The old man had a slight air of nobility as he gracefully walked towards David.
David frowned when he saw the old man.
One month ago, this old man dressed in martial arts robes had started visiting his place to spar with him every day.
He was happy in the beginning. David hoped that he would find some useful information, and he did, but now it was starting to become a little annoying.
"Let me teach this old man a lesson today," David inwardly thought and got up from his seat.
"You are here again, old man." David got up from his seat and walked in the old man's direction.
"Hahahaha... why wouldn't I be here? Every time I spar with you, my understanding of martial arts increases by a large extent," the old man said while laughing.
"One million quarks for fifteen minutes and no bargaining." After seeing the old man's determination, David spoke while looking at the old man deeply, his words contained no emotions.
Quarks were nothing more than spirit stones, they were even divided into the same categories as spirit stones.
Hearing the exaggerated price of a million spirit stones, the old man didn't even blink his eyes and nodded without hesitating.
"Ok then, let's begin." The room was already empty, so there was no need to move anywhere else.
And moreover, David couldn't even use his full power either, so there was no need to worry about damaging the place.
David and the old man moved to the center of the room and took their positions.
"Let me warn you, old man. I won't be going easy on you this time," David said. He didn't take the initiative to attack but waited for the old man to attack him.
However, the old man didn't seem to be paying attention to his words.
The old man's face had turned stone cold as he took his fighting stance.
"Heheh, last night I made a breakthrough in my technique. Let's see how you're going to defeat me now," the old man spoke in a prideful tone.
And in the next moment, the old man's body started to move like a pendulum.
In one second, he was one meter to the left, and the next moment his body would move a meter to the right, like a pendulum.
However, if that was it, then there would be nothing to fear about it.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he slowly said,
"Omnidirectional Pendulum." His words were low, but they echoed in the room like thunder.
In the next moment, the old man launched a punch in David's direction.
His punch resembled the seismic rhythmic motion of ocean waves.
David was already prepared to meet the old man's attack; his Crystallisation of life Domain of Zenith Sovereign was already activated, covering an area of five meters with David as the center.
David's pupils transformed; his black eyes were replaced by the symbol of Yin and Yang, which slowly rotated.
The moment the old man activated his technique, unknown information started to appear in David's mind.
Tens of red spots appeared on the old man's body, highlighting his weak spots.
In the next moment, the old man's technique was perfectly analyzed and even improved.
If the old man could conserve the momentum, David could go even one step ahead.
While David was thinking, the old man's punch arrived, directly in front of his face, filled with an unprecedented amount of power for a mortal.
David only needed to move his head a little to the side, and he easily avoided it.
But this wasn't just the start; the old man's punch speed started to increase, his movement became even more precise with every passing moment.
This was the magic of his Omnidirectional Pendulum: the more time passed, the higher the amount of momentum he was able to conserve.
David didn't attack; he continued to dodge, giving an impression that he was having a hard time avoiding the old man's punches.
Suddenly, the old man's expression changed.
"Too arrogant, letting me conserve my momentum for so long," the old man sneered in his head and launched a punch filled with terrifying momentum in David's direction.
