160 Pointing to the Ground to Forge Steel

Jax clearly didn't recognize Yuumi.

Even when she saw Yuumi, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes behind the mask, clearly indicating that she was deeply puzzled by the cat's appearance.

However, this doubt did not affect Jax's attack.

With power building up, Jax delivered a powerful blow that struck the golden energy shield squarely.

Bump!!

The immense force of the impact would severely affect any ordinary mage, even a defensive mage specializing in protective magic.

But now, Jax could clearly feel as if he had struck an impenetrable wall. The heavy impact attached to the lamp staff was completely absorbed by the golden shield, and when he came to his senses, Jax tensed all his muscles, channeling his extraordinary energy into it, and forcefully smashed the shield to pieces.

Although the shield was shattered, Jax's attack lost 80% of its power due to the shield's obstruction.

The remaining force, if it were concentrated, might be powerful enough to kill an ordinary person.

But for Yuan Chen, he is no longer a threat!

The spinning blade had already amplified its speed to a fixed point the instant Jax attacked.

While Jax was shattering the shield, Yuan Chen was able to easily determine the attack path of the lamp staff.

Just as Yuan Chen thought, even if Jax could control the power within his body, once that power was released, it would become like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins and could not be controlled!

In gaming terms, Jax can freely change the attack animation and skill trajectory. However, he cannot change them the moment he actually unleashes the skill!

Just like now, with the power fully unleashed, the trajectory of the torch's attack is confirmed, and the Dance of Distance Breaking no longer needs to continuously spin, but instead releases the blade, which has been accelerated to the extreme, in one direction!

The best defense is a good offense!

With a swift, piercing blade, the powerful Torch Staff clashed head-on with the Dragon Tooth Flying Blade.

In the very first instant, several more Dragon Tooth Flying Blade were knocked away, but in return, Jax's attacks became noticeably slower and heavier.

The remaining blades were completely unaffected and continued to hurtle towards Jax with a sharp whooshing sound!

Seeing this, even though he had made preparations, Jax still had no choice but to get up and retreat.

He withdrew the lamp stick from his hand and waved it in front of him.

The constantly spinning lampstick left a fiery trail of light in the air, and for a moment Jax felt as if he were completely surrounded by a storm of fire.

Under the influence of the flames and surging energy, the flying blades were forced off course. As the force dispersed, they scattered in different directions!

But before these flying blades could travel very far, on the other side, Yuan Chen raised his arm, and the winding Flowing Water, like small snakes converging, formed a rushing torrent around Yuan Chen.

The flying blades were frozen in mid-air for a moment, then merged into the Flowing Water and continued to circulate, like swimming piranhas!

Just like when Yuan Chen first set foot on the Ixialia —except that back then, Yuan Chen integrated a smaller version of the Axiom Ring Blade into the Flowing Water. During the attack, the Ring Blade located in the Flowing Water would continuously cut the enemy.

While it sounds simple, it's not easy to do in practice, because it requires achieving energy compatibility between the weapon and the elements.

The reason Yuan Chen was able to achieve this in the past was because the Oshirresh Mark granted Yuan Chen the ability to directly and perfectly control the Water Element.

Under normal circumstances, given Yuan Chen's level of water Elemental Magic, achieving this would be nothing short of a pipe dream!

However, through constant battles, Yuan Chen has mastered a great many skills, especially in his mastery of weapons, which has reached a level that was previously unattainable.

Upon seeing Yuan Chen's attack, Jax's gaze turned serious.

"A technique of the Yordle Wind Cultivators? As expected of you! You can even use a method outside the Qi system to execute it. Your mastery is truly impressive!"

The Gale Cultivators are a rare cultivation style in Bandle City. On the Valoran Continent, Gale Cultivators are often referred to as "Tornado Warriors."

Its style is similar to that of Ionia, and its fighting style incorporates a large number of throwing weapons such as shurikens, Flying Dagger, and kunai into the storm.

Its attack method is also extremely swift; often, a mere gust of wind can cause chaos and destruction, leaving nothing but fallen people and animals in its wake. Everything within its attack range will be instantly reaped by the sharp blades within the storm!

Although the way Yuan Chen is used is different now, the principle is the same.

In fact, it could be said that the student surpasses the teacher!

The solidified Flowing Water was less like Water Flow and more like a high-pressure Water Cannon.

Under Yuan Chen's control, the Flowing Water seemed to dance in the air like a giant python.

With a sudden swing of his arm, the heavy Flowing Water, like a cannonball, roared towards Jax!

Sensing the "qi" within, Jax's eyes flashed with seriousness. He loosened his grip, and the power in his wrists flowed downwards. In an instant, surging flames and energy erupted at the tip of the lamp staff.

The lamp cane was brandished, and the surrounding space was distorted by the heavy blow.

Wherever the lamp staff passed, the air was forcibly ripped apart, creating a vacuum. Accompanied by the returning air, the lamp staff struck the Water Flow head-on, and the remaining force surged forth with undiminished momentum.

Counter Strike!!!

In an instant, the mighty Water Cannon was shattered into countless droplets.

Just as Jax was preparing to press his advantage, break through the Water Curtain, and engage Yuan Chen in a decisive head-on battle, he seemed to sense something. Jax raised an eyebrow, then quickly gripped his lamp staff and slammed it into the ground.

Bump!!

Although it was the end of the lamppost that struck the ground, at the instant of contact, everyone could clearly see that the ground within a three-meter radius of Jax was compacted downwards by at least fifteen centimeters!

The very next moment, accompanied by a Flash afterimage, Yuan Chen's body was also forcefully squeezed out of the ground by the instantaneous change in mass.

As usual, Jax 'Yuan Chen gaze was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Damn it, if it were magic, that would be one thing.

But he truly didn't expect that there would be a physical version of "pointing to the ground to turn it into steel"!

The battle is over.

Because when Yuan Chen was "squeezed" to the ground, Jax lit his lamp stick three inches in front of him.

A smile played on Jax's lips beneath the mask as he spoke:

I finally beat you!

Damn it, it's been a while since I've updated so much, I seem to have gotten a bit rusty... How about we discuss it, four updates today, and six tomorrow to make up for it?
