Chapter 836

The Heaven-Connecting River flowed across the arena, a vivid blue ribbon cutting the platform in two. Yang Shan felt the air grow damp and cold; every breath he exhaled turned into mist, and beads of water clung to his entire body. He initially dismissed them as mere droplets, thinking a damp uniform was of no consequence. But as he tried to move, he realized his body felt significantly heavier than usual. "The Heaven-Connecting River is a secret technique of the Baili Family," Qingya remarked. "Every drop of its water weighs a hundred pounds. If you are submerged, you become too heavy to move. Furthermore, the water possesses a devouring property that drains true qi to replenish the caster's own reserves. In other words, as long as Baili Xuanqi remains within the river, he is essentially invincible."
