Chapter 004: Gravity Space

Rotating petals drifted through the air, swirling toward Naixiu. It was easy to imagine that if all those flying petals landed on her, she would be completely destroyed. After all, Naixiu’s body had become extremely resilient due to being soaked in the Spring of Life, making her impervious to ordinary experts. Yet even a single petal could cut through her skin.

Retreating swiftly, Naixiu moved at lightning speed! The petals followed closely behind. Fortunately, their shape and material limited their speed. With a serious expression, she unleashed a forbidden arrow technique—Qianyu!

Another forbidden arrow technique, Du Fan thought. In just a few days of the elves’ competitions, he had already seen countless forbidden-level spells and techniques. The elves were truly formidable!

Thinking about the 2,000 elite archers he was about to acquire, Du Fan felt a surge of relief. It was fortunate that Chenchen had transported him here instantly; otherwise, how could he have such a powerful force at his disposal?

Formidable—could the elves really be described as formidable? Such an elegant race, yet when considering a force of 2,000 elite archers, their strength could only be described as formidable!

Qianyu! The peak-level technique of a holy warrior—Qianyu was truly extraordinary! Naixiu’s Qianyu technique shot down all those petals!

The petals scattered, shattering in midair, but the large tree remained lush. On its now-empty stems, fruits had begun to grow. Each fruit, the size of a fist, shone with dazzling golden light under the sunlight!

Spring blossoms, autumn fruits—truly living up to its reputation! Just after the spring blossoms, autumn fruits appeared! In such a short time, the tree had gone from growth to flowering and fruiting in perfect harmony!

While the elves were still in awe, another round of battle began inside the barrier. The fruits hanging on the tree began to fall one by one, shooting toward Naixiu.

Shells! They were nothing but shells—shells made of fruit!

Watching the momentum of those fruits, Du Fan had no doubt about their power. The destruction they could cause upon hitting objects was undoubtedly immense!

As those fruits rushed toward Naixiu in a terrifying onslaught, Du Fan grew nervous.

Du Fan was still very clear about the power of artillery shells during the era of hot weapons on Earth. How would these fruits compare to those shells? When seeing those fruits shot at her, Naixiu promptly drew her bow and arrow, firing shields one after another. Unfortunately, each shield could only block the impact of about three fruits. And the number of fruits on that tree was definitely over a thousand! Shields were continuously fired, only to be shattered and disappear after being hit by the fruits. After more than four minutes, when only dozens of fruits remained, even though Naixiu possessed strength at the peak of the sacred realm, she ran out of energy after firing hundreds of shields in rapid succession. Ceasing to fire shields, she used the remaining energy to create shields to protect her vital areas, preparing to withstand the remaining fruits head-on. Without the shields to block them, the true power of the fruits was fully unleashed. Just as those fruits were about to hit Naixiu, they suddenly exploded two meters in front of her! Tiny black seeds shot out at even greater speed! The last few dozen fruits were truly like modern artillery shells, with their shrapnel flying everywhere after explosion! In the end, all the fruits were used up, Naixiu’s protective liquid was completely exhausted, and even her unprotected skin was covered in bruises! If Naixiu hadn’t gone through the baptism of the Spring of Life, she would have surely lost in this competition. She managed to hold on only thanks to her strengthened physique from that baptism! After all the fruits were fired, the giant tree suddenly began to wither rapidly. To the astonishment of the elves, the tree withered away in no time. In the end, the elf mage sat on the ground in despair. Naixiu drew her bow, ready to fire the decisive arrow. “You win,” the elf said with a bitter smile. “I have no strength left at all. Since you can still draw your bow, you win.” The elf was honest—she admitted defeat right away without wasting time. At this point in the competition, only the top experts remained, all with similar strengths. Fighting against each other was not only exhausting but also time-consuming. After this round, only twelve contestants could proceed to the next round. That was the end of today’s schedule. There would be one round in the morning and another in the afternoon, with only three people left to continue.

When only three people were left, they drew lots to determine who would fight first; the final match was held on the last day, which was also the finals day, and it would decide the ownership of the Eternal Bow!
The competitions for that day came to an end here.
Over the next three days, although there were few matches, they were all classic battles!
The remaining twelve contestants all had at least the strength of a peak Saint rank!
In the evening, after dinner, Du Fan headed straight to the territory of the Elf Ancient Tree clan.
He politely asked a female elf.
“Wow, this must be the legendary Elder Du Fan,” said the female elf, her eyes sparkling with admiration, completely ignoring Du Fan’s question.
“Ahem, dear lady, do you know where Elder Moses lives?” Seeing this infatuated elf, Du Fan smiled magnificently yet inwardly cursed her foolishness.
“Hmm, is Elder Du Fan talking to me?” The elf felt uneasy upon seeing Du Fan’s holy smile.
“Yes, beautiful lady. May I ask where Elder Moses lives?” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Oh. For Elder Moses, just go down this road straight to the end; the house on the right is his,” the elf replied nervously.
“Then thank you, beautiful lady, for showing me the way,” Du Fan said again with a magnificent smile before heading in the direction she indicated.
“I actually talked to Elder Du Fan in person!” The elf jumped excitedly after Du Fan left. “And he even called me beautiful lady!”
“Lady, this elf surely doesn’t know that in my past life, that was a very rude term, right?” Du Fan thought as he walked.
Sure enough, when he reached the location the elf had pointed out, at the door of that house, Moses was playing with a little elf who looked about three or four years old.
“Elder Moses, so you already have a child? I thought you weren’t married. I even thought of introducing Lan Ling from the Kayi tribe to you—she’s also an elder,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Elder Du Fan, don’t you know that as a Great Sage, Elder Lan Ling can’t get married?” Moses asked in surprise.
“I forgot. Haha, I was just joking with you,” Du Fan said with a laugh. “By the way, Moses, with the competition reaching this critical stage, how can you still have time to play with a child instead of resting or practicing?” Du Fan asked in confusion.
“Moses, who are you talking to?” A woman’s voice came from inside the house.

“It’s Elder Du Fan,” Moses replied quickly.
“Elder Du Fan, is that the new foreign elder? Moses, such an important person—why didn’t you invite them in?” the woman said in a slightly reproachful tone.
“No need, sister-in-law. I came to see Moses to seek his advice,” Du Fan said promptly.
“I see. Then go ahead; just leave the child to me.” With that, a female elf emerged from the room. Upon seeing her, Du Fan immediately thought of a term from his past life—“senpai”!
This elf mother was the epitome of a senpai!
At Du Fan’s request, Moses and Du Fan exchanged martial arts skills, and the result satisfied Moses greatly. After all, Du Fan, who had practiced countless techniques, had remarkable insights that provided Moses with valuable inspiration.
“Moses, you said last time that you had reached the level of a domain expert. I wonder what your domain looks like?” Du Fan asked.
“Want to know?” Moses suddenly grinned.
“Yes! I’ve heard that the magic warriors of your elf race are extremely powerful. I want to see what a domain expert’s strength really is like,” Du Fan said seriously.
Moses moved slightly, and suddenly Du Fan felt a strong gravitational pull from the ground. Before he could react, he was pulled to the ground!
“Elder Du Fan, this is my domain—Gravity Space! Within my domain, I can adjust gravity to up to 100 times its normal level!” Moses said proudly. “And I’m unaffected at all!”
“What just affected Elder Du Fan was a 100-fold gravity boost. How does it feel?” Moses asked with a strange smile.
“Not bad, not bad,” Du Fan replied after getting up and clapping his hands.
“But I’ve tried it, and I can only maintain this gravity space for an hour a day—of course, that’s with a 100-fold boost,” Moses said.
“Come on, try it on me again,” Du Fan said, channeling all his energy.
With a 100-fold gravity boost, Du Fan’s weight was already around 130 pounds. With the boost, his total weight became 13,000 pounds!
Feeling the immense pressure from his 13,000-pound body, Du Fan had a strange sensation—as if every part of his body was made of extremely heavy metal, requiring great effort for even the slightest movement!

Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult for Du Fan to lift his arm and throw a punch—not only difficult but also very slow!
This was Moses’s domain: the gravity space!
Fortunately, Moses’s gravity space only covered an area of twenty meters; beyond that, it lost its effect.
An idea struck Du Fan, and a fireball appeared in his palm. With a wave of his hand, the fireball shot rapidly toward Moses, unaffected by the gravity space at all.
“My gravity space has no effect on those pure energy stones,” Moses said with a smile.
This was easy to explain—those pure energies had no weight at all and were controlled purely through the mind, so gravity space indeed couldn’t work against such attacks.
