Chapter 3: Wood Dragon Technique, overpowering the Archons

Rubbing his silver hair with some annoyance, Jiang Yan sighed.

"Whatever, I'm not an Archon anyway."

"I'll open my treasure chests, and they can fight their wars."

Comforting himself, Jiang Yan stepped back onto his journey.

Because the game map he played was the terrain formed after various adjustments following the Seven Archons' reign—for example, looking at Mondstadt, the land of the drunkard, where the terrain was constantly leveled, mountains cut, and snow blown away—he didn't know where the treasure chests were now.

Can only take it one step at a time.

After walking for another full day and night, and after continuously opening four or five Common and Exquisite Chests, and even one Precious Chest, Jiang Yan finally figured out a pattern for the treasure chest drops.

Common Chests only enhance his physique and elemental energy and don't give anything else.

Exquisite Chests can obtain all sorts of miscellaneous things from the myriad worlds and relatively common skills, such as cooking or tea ceremony.

Precious Chests can open up relatively rare items from the myriad worlds.

Luxurious Chests go without saying; they should provide top-tier abilities from the myriad worlds. His Wood Release was opened from one of those.

And the Precious Chest Jiang Yan opened gave him the Observation Haki from the One Piece world!

"Still very weak..."

Jiang Yan sighed. Although he had the blessing of a top-tier ability like Wood Release, the elemental energy stored in his body was too little.

Let alone True Several Thousand Hands, he couldn't even release the Wood Human Technique right now.

Although Observation Haki is good, if it really is the Archon War era, even if he trained his Observation Haki to foresee the future, it would be useless.

His own strength hasn't reached the level where he can handle foreseeing the future.

"If only the treasure chests could open something like Tailed Beast chakra."

Jiang Yan fantasized, laughing.

Climbing over another mountain, Jiang Yan saw an Exquisite Chest sitting quietly in the middle of the cliff of the mountain he was on.

Oh! Another treasure chest!

Jiang Yan clapped his hands in surprise, and two vines extended from the ground beneath his feet, wrapping around his waist and lifting him up.

Carefully manipulating the vines, Jiang Yan slowly moved toward the treasure chest's location.

After so many experiences of picking up treasure chests, Jiang Yan's proficiency with his Wood Release had improved by another level.

Just as Jiang Yan was about to grab the treasure chest in front of him, a violent shaking came from the entire mountain.

Oh no!

Jiang Yan grabbed the vines tightly, stabilizing his figure.

Immediately after, two huge silhouettes swept past his head.

They roared and fought, their angry shouts echoing through the sky, shattering the mountain range one after another.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

It really is the Archon War era!

For a moment, cold sweat streamed down Jiang Yan's head.

At this moment, he would be an idiot if he didn't know these two were Archons!

If they were doing this during the Seven Archons era, they would have long been smashed into the ground by the Geo Archon's stone spears.

Rip!

Watching the two Archons fighting each other, Jiang Yan quickly controlled the vines to descend.

Heads can roll! Blood can flow!

But the treasure chest must be taken!

This is the fine tradition of a Traveler!

[Congratulations to the host for opening an Exquisite Chest! Obtained Naruto World: Elite Jonin-level Chakra!]

[Converting chakra into elemental energy...]

Great!

Jiang Yan listened to the system's notification sound in surprise.

Feeling the surge of elemental energy in his body, he gently clenched his fists.

His current elemental energy capacity was enough for him to activate the Wood Dragon Technique for battle!

Jiang Yan even felt he could go toe-to-toe with the two Archons fighting not far away.

If he saved up a bit more, once he could activate the Wood Human Technique, he could walk sideways through the Archon War!

On the other side, the two Archons were fighting fiercely, and one mountain after another was leveled under their struggle.

Just then, the sky suddenly dimmed, and a stone spear descended from the sky, smashing into the two of them.

"Roar! Morax! You want to get involved too?!"

One of the Archons roared, eyes fixed on the young man with arms crossed not far away.

"This is my territory, I hope you will leave."

Morax said faintly, his expression cold.

"Then go to hell!"

Both Archons had their eyes bloodshot with killing intent, and without another word, they entangled with Morax.

On the hillside, Jiang Yan, who had returned to the cliff top, watched the struggle between the three Archons, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Morax.

Lord Geo Archon!

The man who gives the most sense of security in Genshin!

I've finally met you!!

However, Jiang Yan didn't intend to join this fight.

He just wanted to find treasure chests quietly.

Of course, it would be even better if he could find treasure chests under the Geo Archon's protection.

Although he already had the ability to protect himself in the Archon War.

And around the three Archons, the two Archons' followers were also fighting with the Adepti contracted by Morax.

Jiang Yan watched for a while, felt a bit bored, and prepared to leave. ===== CHAPTER 7 =====

Just then, his Observation Haki suddenly blared with alarms. Jiang Yan's face froze, and he clapped his hands together.

"Wood Release, Wood Substitution!"

BOOM!!!

Huge dust clouds swept over, and the mountain Jiang Yan was on was shattered by the aftermath of the three Archons' battle.

Jiang Yan used a Wood Substitution to teleport himself into the sky. The three Archons currently fighting naturally noticed this little boy who had suddenly appeared.

It's just that no one cared.

Above the sky, Jiang Yan put his hands together, his elemental energy surging with all his might.

"Wood Release, Wood Dragon Technique!"

Crack, crack!

An angry roar sounded from the battlefield, a huge rumbling noise erupted, and one of the two Archons fighting Morax was violently swiped away by a giant dragon's tail.

In an instant, both the war between the three Archons and their followers came to a standstill.

Everyone fell into an eerie silence, looking in astonishment at the giant dragon that had suddenly appeared.

Jiang Yan sat cross-legged on the dragon's head, hands together, panting heavily.

Damn it, if he hadn't reacted quickly and performed the hand seals to activate the Wood Dragon Technique, he would have been at least severely injured if not dead!

Seriously... he was clearly just a bystander...

Morax looked at the Wood Dragon before him, his brows furrowed slightly; it seemed that in his impression, there was no Archon that matched this.

"F***! I was just staying there picking up a treasure chest, why are you guys provoking me!"

Jiang Yan roared angrily. The palpitations from the brush with death just now instantly turned into rage, surging upward!

The Wood Dragon twisted continuously, roaring as it bit toward one of the Archons.

That Archon roared, wanting to resist, but Jiang Yan's Wood Dragon could absorb the opponent's elemental energy to replenish itself. As the battle went on, this Archon became weaker and weaker.

In the end, he could only be forced to take the beating.

Morax was chasing the other Archon and beating him up.

The Wood Dragon that had suddenly appeared didn't know if it was friend or foe, but as long as his own interests weren't damaged, he chose to finish off the hostile Archon first.

The Adepti under his command also launched fierce attacks. With Jiang Yan's addition, this battle looked much easier.

Morax fought while looking at the silver-haired little boy roaring on the Wood Dragon's head. When he saw Jiang Yan's ears, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Not an Archon, but the Elf race..." ===== CHAPTER 8 =====
