Today's second update: Chapter 3730! 2/6!
If Hong Huo raised the flame output even slightly, the Wood Attribute Power Xu Caiyi manifested would instantly be reduced to ashes, without even time to regenerate.
If he lowered it, it would not be destroyed, but flames at that level could no longer be called Great Wilderness Ferocious Flame. What was there to boast about if it could only withstand ordinary fire? That would not serve as "tempering" either; it would simply be a waste of time.
This would not work, and neither would that.
Then they switched people.
Shi Ye stepped in.
Her method of sparring approached things from another angle.
Not tough enough? Regeneration not strong enough? Then they would focus on "control" and "tracking"!
Shi Ye was famous for her elusive movement technique and unpredictable whereabouts.
Her sparring method was to have Xu Caiyi use vines and branches formed from Wood Attribute Power to capture her.
"Young Mistress, I'll only move within this area. If you can trap me once with Wood Attribute Power, you win."
Hope flared within Xu Caiyi.
Control? Tracking? That sounded far more reliable than the first two!
Yet reality dealt her another crushing blow.
Shi Ye's figure was like a ghost in the dark night, drifting unpredictably and impossible to grasp.
The vines Xu Caiyi manifested either could not keep up with her speed at all, or Xu Caiyi finally predicted the right direction, only for Shi Ye to drift somewhere else the moment the vines unfurled.
Once or twice, the vines did touch the edge of her clothes—
Then they were silently devoured by the Gazing Abyss Power swirling around her.
She could not even touch her, much less "trap" her.
Xu Caiyi tried every possible method.
Setting traps in advance was useless.
