Chapter 1039: Opening the Time-Space Tunnel

By this point, Xiao Han had shown great sincerity, answering virtually every question asked.

In that case, it depends on Ning Chen's willingness.

Ning Chen looked at Xiao Han; he had no intention of opposing, after all, this was a mission proposed by the System.

However... Ning Chen didn't quite understand why the System would propose such a mission; it most likely meant he would soon be bound together with the utterly pure and kind Xiao Han.

"One last question," Ning Chen said slowly.

Everyone present fixed their gaze on Ning Chen.

"I want to know what you are doing."

Ning Chen said "I want to know," not "I would like to know"; his tone brooked no argument.

Xiao Han paused for a moment, then slightly curled his lips and said, "I need to find three stones; my original stone is also my heart."

Ning Chen looked deeply at Xiao Han, then stood up and said softly, "I will drive the car to a relatively open and secluded place."

Saying this, Ning Chen got into the driver's seat and searched for a suitable location nearby.

The map suddenly jumped, then set a destination; autonomous driving was activated, and the car began moving in that direction.

Everything seemed perfectly normal, if one ignored the fact that Ning Chen had not controlled this at all.

Ning Chen had not controlled the car just now; whether it was the map setting or the car's autonomous driving, the vehicle acted on its own.

It was as if it had come alive.

And Ning Chen knew this was all done by the System.

Ning Chen called out to the System several times in his mind, but received no response whatsoever.

He frowned, unable to understand what was wrong with the System; this situation had basically never occurred before.

A sense of uncertainty filled the space around Ning Chen, stirring waves within his heart.

He couldn't say whether this uncertainty was good or bad, but he greatly disliked such uncertainty, for it meant many things had slipped out of control.

Ning Chen was not a person with strong desires for control, but the current situation was far too off-track.

Unknown things bring not only curiosity, but also endless panic.

Ning Chen quickly adjusted his state; he left the driver's seat. Since the System wanted him to do this and he indeed could not resist, he might as well see what the System intended to do.

The car drove very fast; after about an hour, it stopped.

Everyone got out of the car, and Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap."

The car had stopped by the seaside, but this place gave a very different feeling.

It was as if they had reached the edge of the world; this magical sensation lingered in everyone's heart.

The air was extremely fresh; the color of the sky matched that of the sea, an unbelievable blue. The only difference between the two was probably that the sea was not only blue, but also transparent.

Xiao Han looked ahead and gently closed his eyes.

"This is a good place."

Lin Yi looked at the sea; it was truly clear to the bottom, seeming to have no impurities at all, and the sand on this beach was fine and soft.

If not for the fact that two people were about to fight in a moment, he would really have liked to play in the water.

"By the way, Ning Chen, where have you brought us? This place is really great."

Huo Jinglin, leaning against the car, though he said nothing, clearly agreed with Lin Yi's words in his eyes.

Looking at the scene before them, one could feel inner peace and tranquility; it seemed many things were not so important anymore, and the mind became unbelievably clear.

Ning Chen naturally would not answer Lin Yi's words; before, he had been too lazy to answer, and now he simply could not, since the place was not chosen by him; he couldn't very well say the System chose it.

Discarding the idea of a quick battle, Ning Chen looked at Xiao Han and said, "Shall we begin?"

A flowing light seemed to turn in Xiao Han's eyes; he nodded, then walked over to an open area nearby.

Seeing this, the other three understood the two were about to fight, so they hurriedly hid inside the RV to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Ning Chen and Xiao Han stood some distance apart; both gazed calmly at each other, as if they were not about to fight, but rather negotiate a business deal.

Gu Yanqi watched Ning Chen outside with worry; she had just learned that these two were about to fight, and she was afraid Ning Chen might get hurt.

"Don't worry; Ning Chen is very powerful. You must believe in him."

Noticing the person beside him was worried, Lin Yi patted Gu Yanqi's shoulder to comfort her.

Outside, Ning Chen and Xiao Han stared at each other.

"Forgive my rudeness."

After Xiao Han spoke, he seemed to form some hand seal in his palm; immediately, a huge array appeared before him, and another formed beneath his feet.

Ning Chen slightly narrowed his eyes; he was not familiar with this array, but he instinctively felt he must have seen it somewhere before.

It was his innermost self telling him he had seen it.

Xiao Han formed another hand seal, and the array suddenly emitted numerous beams of light shooting toward Ning Chen.

Ning Chen calmly raised his hand, palm facing Xiao Han; a beam of light appeared in his hand, then semi-transparent light enveloped Xiao Han.

When the beams of light met the semi-transparent light, they were clearly absorbed into it.

The beams that brushed past Ning Chen struck the ground behind him; instantly, several holes appeared in the sand, revealing how powerful these beams of light were.

Inside the RV, two of the three people were stunned; Lin Yi looked at the two dumbfounded individuals and felt a headache; how, how, how could this be explained!

Gu Yanqi stared at the sci-fi scene before her, unable to believe what she was seeing.

She had originally thought fighting was just plain fighting, punch for punch, fist for fist, the real deal.

She never expected to witness such a scene.

Huo Jinglin, having experienced some events with Ning Chen, quickly reacted and stared intently outside.

There, Ning Chen and Xiao Han rapidly closed the distance; both immediately threw out their abilities, and the abilities collided and vanished.

The two moved extremely fast, too fast for the naked eye to track; everyone could only see the afterimages of the two figures, unable to distinguish who was who.

The air stirred slightly; Ning Chen and Xiao Han exchanged a glance, and both understood something: the time-space tunnel was about to open.

The two quickly re-established distance, then looked at each other, extended their hands, and their abilities collided.

Endless energy surged forth, converging and merging in the middle.

Ning Chen and Xiao Han looked at each other, with only one thought in their minds: the space-time tunnel had opened.

A beam of light shot into the sky, instantly creating a void in the heavens; immediately after, three beams of light poured down from the void, enveloping Ning Chen, Xiao Han, and the motorhome.

In an instant, all three parties wrapped in the light beams vanished from their original spots, while the void in the sky gradually disappeared, and the surroundings returned to calm.
