Chapter 461 - 264: Anomalous Fire Achieved, Human Race at a Disadvantage
Lin Chen and the Little Fox both looked at the Great Elder, who then slowly said:
"First of all, the Heart-Burning Fire Control of the Little Fox is at the Perfection Level, so merging different Anomalous Fires shouldn’t be a problem."
"However, merging two types of Anomalous Fires and two Skills at once makes the difficulty multiply."
Lin Chen and the Little Fox suddenly understood, and Lin Chen said directly: "Looks like we were too impatient."
The Great Elder also said: "You have to eat your meal one bite at a time."
Lin Chen pondered; the Flaming Storm and High-Speed Flame Burst of the Little Fox both fuse instantly, so it’s impossible to achieve the merging of two Anomalous Fires.
To accomplish what the Great Elder suggested, only the Super Flame Bomb would do.
Then the Little Fox began to attempt the fusion of an Anomalous Fire with a Skill as Lin Chen instructed.
Standing in an open area, its seven tails swayed in the air like lively ribbons.
Then, three tails seemed to be dipped in pure gold, shining brilliantly.
Another three seemed to be splashed with fresh blood, an alarming shade of red.
Flames danced joyfully on the tails, as if it were the prelude to a mysterious ritual.
In an instant, six Super Fireballs quickly formed on the six tails, radiating a scorching aura like six small suns.
These six fireballs were divided into three golden and three deep red, clearly distinct.
Under the precise control of the Little Fox, the six fireballs slowly moved towards the center, with every inch closer intensifying the scorching scent in the air, as if the air itself might ignite.
As they drew near each other, the flames of different colors intertwined, seemingly engaged in a fierce battle.
The collision between the Anomalous Fires was a brutal devouring battle.
The golden flames tried to swallow the red flames, while the red flames resisted vigorously, making crackling sounds.
The violent nature of both flames was evident, coming close to the brink of explosive failure numerous times, but in the end, the Little Fox barely managed to stabilize them.
Lin Chen and the Great Elder both broke into cold sweats on witnessing this.
Indeed, the Heart-Burning Fire Control is powerful, but mastering it is unimaginably difficult.
Beads of sweat rolled down the Little Fox’s forehead as the two flames trembled violently mid-air, colliding and devouring each other like two furious beasts.
The roaring sound of the flames was deafening, and the heat waves swept around, forcing Lin Chen to step back a few paces.
This process lasted a full 20 seconds, the air seemingly solidified by the high temperature.
Finally, with an all-out shout from the Little Fox, the two fireballs merged, their light glowing brightly, blinding the eyes.
"It’s done!" The Great Elder exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Chen laughed out loud and looked at the Super Flame Bomb again; its exterior was dazzlingly golden while inside it resembled a scorching sun, glowing red with seemingly infinite energy.
Lin Chen excitedly suggested the Little Fox test it out. The Little Fox shouted confidently, throwing the Super Flame Bomb with all its strength.
In an instant, a thunderous explosion sounded, the ground shook violently, and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
Lin Chen widened his eyes, rubbing them in disbelief at the scene before him.
Such power was only achievable by the True Fire Nuclear Bomb before, wasn’t it?
Now it could be done with a Super Flame Bomb.
If the Super Flame Bomb could have such power, how terrifying would the power be once the True Fire Nuclear Bomb, merged with Dual Anomalous Fire and dual skills, is born!
The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more excited he became, and he asked the Little Fox about the consumption.
"Gulp!"
The Little Fox told Lin Chen that although the fusion of Anomalous Fires was challenging, the consumption wasn’t much greater than before when using the Super Flame Bomb.
Lin Chen was thrilled upon hearing this.
This meant the Little Fox could throw multiple True Fire Nuclear Bombs in one battle, significantly enhancing its power, needless to say.
The Great Elder then advised:
"Your World-Purifying True Flame has reached its maximum level, so there’s no need to practice it further. For now, during the cultivation of Skills, just use the Phoenix Karmic Fire. With your foundation in World-Purifying True Flame, the cultivation of Phoenix Karmic Fire won’t be slow."
Lin Chen and the Little Fox exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit embarrassed.
In fact, the Little Fox’s World-Purifying True Flame wasn’t at max level yet; it was still one Level short, though the Great Elder thought that the Samadhi True Flame was maxed out.
Nonetheless, what the Great Elder said was naturally correct.
Currently, the concentration of the two flames within the Little Fox is mismatched, and even if it manages dual skill and Dual Anomalous Fire fusion, it won’t achieve the ideal power.
.....
Soon, the fourth round of the tournament began. In the third round, the Demon Race held the absolute upper hand, making this round crucial in determining the outcome.
On the day of the competition, the 10-Level platform started first, again showing the competition’s outcome remained uncertain until the very last moment.
In the end, the Human Race representative won with difficulty.
Securing the first victory of the fourth round, it made the Human Race feel that Dubhe Pavilion came prepared today.
The following 20-Level platform was of utmost importance.
If the Demon Race won again, it would be four consecutive victories, just one step away from becoming the ultimate arena master.
At an appropriate time, the Human Race contestant entered the stage, prompting loud cheers.
This was a Female Beastmaster, and her First Spirit Beast was a bear.
Lin Chen knew she was likely the seed contestant dispatched by Dubhe Pavilion.
As expected, upon hearing from those nearby, he learned her name was Wu Xiao, who was the champion of the youth division in the Bear King Competition of Thunder City two years ago.
