Chapter 208. Supreme-grade Talent—Even the Laws Must Bow Before It
Inside the spacious training room, flames surged like molten gold, burning the ceiling until it glowed a translucent crimson.
At the center of the Blazing Flame Domain, an incomparably scorching ball of fire condensed and slowly rose into the air, absorbing the flame energy around it.
SCREECH!
A clear, ringing cry resounded throughout the entire training area. Everyone instinctively covered their ears, but their eardrums still ached from the shock.
“Damn, what is happening to Captain? How did she suddenly rise to the Martial King Realm?”
Tang Long covered his ears and shouted loudly at Chu Xingchen.
The latter frowned and also shouted, “What did you say?”
“...” Tang Long could not hear him, so he could only raise his head and look at the crimson ball of fire.
Everyone in the training room focused their eyes on that ball of fire. When Mei Xue’er heard the long cry, her mind went slightly dazed.
She could not understand how Su Linyu’s spirit had suddenly risen by nine levels in a row.
Was it a special cultivation art? But the Divine Battle Division possessed the most top-tier cultivation arts in all of Huaxia, as well as records from ancient texts. She had never seen a cultivation art that could let a martial artist rise by nine levels at once.
Could it be her talent?
Mei Xue’er stared fixedly at the ball of fire suspended above them, deeply puzzled.
If Su Linyu had this talent, why had she not used it during the last Recruit Challenge?
CRACK—
Just as Mei Xue’er was unable to understand it, cracks began appearing across the surface of the ball of fire, glowing with crimson light.
WHOOSH—
Then, a wave of heat swept out. Behind the ball of fire, a pair of gilded wings spread outward. The flames made them shine brilliantly, and every feather was wrapped in leaping crimson fire.
WHOOSH.
The instant the gilded wings flapped, an extremely powerful hot wind made Mei Xue’er, Tang Long, and Chu Xingchen somewhat unsteady on their feet.
The wings encircled the ball of fire, and their tail feathers dragged out long, flame-colored tassels that curved slightly in the high temperature.
BOOM—
Under everyone’s gaze, the gilded wings spread once more. A peerlessly beautiful woman appeared, wearing a dress woven from crimson-gold feathers. Her skin glowed with a glass-like luster in the intense heat.
It was Su Linyu.
She raised her hand slightly, and the gilded wings behind her disappeared. Looking so noble, she gazed down at Mei Xue’er on the platform below.
“Minister Mei, our battle has only just begun.”
Mei Xue’er frowned. Sensing the Blazing Flame Domain around her, her heart was filled with astonishment.
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen, on the other hand, were completely stunned by Su Linyu’s current appearance.
“Boss, when did Captain get this ability? Why did we not see her use it during the Team League back then?”
Su Linyu’s Nirvanic Rebirth had directly frightened away Sleep God’s drowsiness. He asked in disbelief.
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. “People always grow and change. Just because she did not have it before does not mean she does not have it now.”
“Whose change instantly raises them by nine levels? If someone is at the same realm as her, how are they supposed to fight?” Lingling, the lifelike robot girl, was dumbstruck.
Mo Yan’s eyes widened. He flipped his folding fan around, and the number “6” was written on it.
“Jiang Yichen, did Su Linyu use some kind of cultivation art? This kind of enhancement is far too unbelievable,” Liang Shan asked.
Jiang Yichen shook his head. “This is her martial arts talent.”
Martial arts talent!?
Sleep God and the other three showed expressions that seemed to say “Huh?” and slowly looked toward the platform.
At this moment, Su Linyu was suspended in midair. She slowly raised her right hand and pointed into the void.
Behind her, a massive illusory image of gilded wings immediately appeared, condensing countless fire feathers across the sky.
“Go!”
With a wave of Su Linyu’s hand, the sky full of fire feathers fell like a tidal wave.
Mei Xue’er’s eyes narrowed slightly. She dodged nimbly while planning the best route in her mind, gradually closing the distance between herself and Su Linyu.
The corners of Su Linyu’s lips rose. She clenched her palm. “Lock!”
As soon as she spoke, the falling fire feathers suddenly shot out crimson rays of light. They connected with one another, forming a complex and dense net.
Mei Xue’er could not dodge in time. Her right arm was grazed by a crimson ray of light, and roaring flames immediately ignited there.
Her expression changed slightly in surprise, and she hurriedly mobilized Spiritual Energy to extinguish it.
But those flames actually burned even Spiritual Energy. The instant the Spiritual Energy touched them, it turned into nothingness.
“What... kind of flame is this?”
Mei Xue’er completely lost any trace of contempt. She grabbed the skin disguise on her body and flung it away. The bearded disguise fell to the ground along with the flames.
Her intoxication-red hair fluttered, and her true face, stunning enough to take one’s breath away at a glance, was revealed.
“Illusion Art · What the Heart Desires!”
Mei Xue’er released her mental power and unfolded an Illusion Domain, intending to make Su Linyu sink into what she desired most deep in her heart.
However, the moment her mental power was released, roaring flames ignited on it.
Her eyes went blank. This fire could even burn mental power?
Did it have to be this ridiculous?
Mei Xue’er had never heard of a flame that could burn mental power.
“Huh? The minister’s mental power was burned by Su Linyu’s flames. She cannot use her Illusion Art. She has been suppressed,” Liang Shan said in surprise.
Lingling revealed an extremely exaggerated expression. “I thought Jiang Yichen was already ridiculous enough. How is his fiancée also this ridiculous?”
A flame that burned mental power. Did something like that really exist?
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. A Supreme-grade talent, the Radiant Flame that burned everything—did they think that was just an empty description?
“Damn, the minister is going to use the Laws,” Sleep God said, pointing at Mei Xue’er on the platform.
Everyone looked over and saw white, threadlike Laws surrounding Mei Xue’er, her eyes calm.
“You are indeed better than those two, but that is all. I do not believe your fire can burn the Laws.”
The Laws?
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen were stunned.
“Damn, fake-cutesy freak, are you unable to accept losing? Did you not say you would not use the Laws?” Tang Long pointed at Mei Xue’er and said.
Chu Xingchen also looked displeased. “You are the Minister of the Divine Battle Division, after all. Are you not even going to keep this much credibility?”
Mei Xue’er’s strength was already at the peak of the Seventh Realm, so she already held the advantage. If she used the Laws, Su Linyu would definitely lose.
Just thirty percent of her Charm Art’s Laws had nearly made them unable to control themselves.
If she fully unleashed them, they would not be able to withstand them at all.
“Exactly. Do you have any shame left?” Tang Long angrily questioned.
Mei Xue’er raised her head slightly, clicked her tongue, and smiled. “How did you know I have no shame?”
Tang Long and Chu Xingchen: “...”
Below the stage, Sleep God and the other three all covered their faces, as though they did not want others to know they were Mei Xue’er’s subordinates.
Jiang Yichen shook his head with a smile. Burn everything—did she understand what “everything” meant?
Mei Xue’er, you are still too young.
“Law of Charm, Seven Emotions and Six Desires!”
On the platform, Mei Xue’er looked at Su Linyu in midair, and the white, threadlike Laws in her palm were released.
Su Linyu’s expression turned solemn. Mei Xue’er had said in the meeting room that the Laws stood above all martial arts talents.
Then let the Radiant Flame that burned everything try it!
She took out the Vermilion Feather Fan. Since Mei Xue’er had already stopped following martial ethics, Su Linyu would directly use a ninth-rank Magical Artifact.
With a whoosh, she swept the feather fan, and crimson flames filled the sky, covering Mei Xue’er.
The instant they intertwined with the white, threadlike Laws, the white Laws turned into fuel and erupted into roaring flames.
This scene left everyone dumbstruck. Aside from the whooshing of the flames, there was no other sound in the training room.
Everyone was so shocked that they could not speak.
Huh?
Even the Laws could be burned? Did it have to be this absurd?
