Pangu: This Little Girl in Red Has Good Bone Structure Too

A few mornings later, Lin Yue was cultivating beside the Innate Spirit Spring, circulating the Chaos Cultivation Technique to absorb the energy within the spring water.

As he drew a stream of pure energy into his dantian and merged it with his vortex of Qi, a scene of Su Qingyan wielding the Flame Law flashed through his mind—the flames were scorching and domineering, as if capable of incinerating all things in the world, yet under her control, they could be unleashed or withdrawn at will, possessing immense explosive power.

A thought struck him. Upon returning to the cave, he saw Pangu opening his eyes and gazing outside. He walked up and asked, "Senior, you said Su Qingyan's Flame Law is so formidable. I feel her energy intensity isn't much higher than mine, yet the power of her flames far surpasses my Chaos Little Light Orb."

Pangu's gaze shifted from the outside back to Lin Yue, and he slowly spoke, "That girl has the Innate Fire Spirit Physique."

"Innate Fire Spirit Physique?" Lin Yue had never heard of this term and asked curiously, "What is that?"

"When Chaos first opened, countless physiques emerged, and the Innate Fire Spirit Physique is one of them," Pangu explained. "This physique possesses a natural affinity for the Flame Law. Cultivating fire-elemental techniques yields twice the result with half the effort, and when unleashing fire-elemental divine abilities, the power far exceeds that of ordinary people. It can be said that she was born for the Flame Law."

Lin Yue suddenly understood. "No wonder her flames are so powerful; it's due to her physique. Is this kind of physique very rare?"

"Extremely rare," Pangu nodded. "Throughout all of Chaos, Innate Spirit Bodies are exceedingly rare, each possessing immense potential. This red-clothed girl having such a physique means her roots are indeed excellent. If nurtured properly, she might become a powerful figure in the future."

Lin Yue's heart trembled slightly. If even Senior Pangu praised her roots, Su Qingyan's potential was indeed not to be underestimated. He recalled the competition in three months and felt a sense of urgency.

"Then... does the Innate Fire Spirit Physique have any weaknesses?" Lin Yue hesitated for a moment before asking. He wasn't trying to play any tricks, merely wanting to understand his opponent better for the sake of knowing himself and his enemy.

Pangu glanced at him, seemingly seeing through his thoughts but not revealing it. He said indifferently, "All things are born from and overcome each other; even the strongest physique has weaknesses. While the Fire Spirit Physique is powerful, it fears extreme cold and the restraints of the Law of Space."

"Extreme cold? Restraints of the Law of Space?" Lin Yue committed these words to memory. He currently possessed neither cold-elemental divine abilities nor any understanding of the Law of Space, so these weaknesses were of no use to him for now. However, knowing more was always better.

Pangu didn't say anything further, his gaze turning toward the direction Su Qingyan had left. A barely perceptible glint flashed in his deep eyes. With a slight movement of his fingers, a wisp of an extremely faint Flame Law fragment quietly condensed, hovering at his fingertip, shimmering with a weak red light.

This fragment of law was even purer and more profound than the flames Su Qingyan controlled, as if it contained the primordial power of fire. Yet, after only a moment, he dispersed the fragment, as if it were merely a casual gesture.

Lin Yue didn't notice this subtle change. He was still pondering Pangu's words, thinking about how to counter Su Qingyan's flames in the competition three months later.

"Since her flames are strong, I'll avoid her direct assault and counter with agile movement and precise attacks," Lin Yue thought to himself. "Senior Pangu said that a skilled fighter identifies openings and seizes opportunities. I might still have a chance to win."

He looked at Pangu and, seeing that the Senior had closed his eyes again, decided not to disturb him further. He turned and walked out of the cave, resuming his cultivation.

In the following days, besides improving his cultivation, Lin Yue began to focus on practicing his movement techniques and control over energy. He utilized the terrain around the cave to simulate combat scenarios with Su Qingyan, constantly adjusting his attack angles and timing, striving to find her weaknesses during the competition.

Occasionally, he would recall the moment Pangu condensed the Flame Law fragment. Though it was a fleeting glimpse, it deepened his yearning for the power of laws. He knew that the Chaos Energy he currently controlled was merely a foundational power. To truly become stronger, he would eventually have to touch upon the level of laws.

"The road is still long," Lin Yue murmured, gazing at the distant Chaos currents. But there was no trace of dejection in his eyes, only full of motivation.

With Senior Pangu's guidance, a clear goal, and an opponent to surpass, this path of cultivation, though arduous, was filled with meaning.

Three months was neither long nor short. Lin Yue knew he had to seize every moment to present a completely new version of himself on the agreed-upon day.

What he didn't know was that while he diligently cultivated, Pangu's gaze would occasionally sweep over the direction Su Qingyan had left, as if silently observing something. The appearance of this red-clothed girl might not just be Lin Yue's opponent; she might also play a significant role in the future landscape of Chaos.

Chaos continued its slow rotation, with countless beings struggling, growing, and perishing within it, while the story belonging to Lin Yue and Su Qingyan had only just begun.
