Troublesome Skill Chest!

A fiery meteor streaked across the sky.

Yu Xian felt the two forces of Ryūjin Jakka and Hyorinmaru within him clashing violently.

One cold, one hot.

Like two dragons battling inside his body.

Hyorinmaru at his waist let out an unhappy dragon roar, seemingly protesting the existence of the other blade.

"Shut up, both of you!!!"

The humming of the two swords irritated Yu Xian beyond measure. With an angry roar, the two Zanpakutō were startled by his overwhelming rage and fell silent.

But the conflict between the energies within him continued.

Sizzle~

The temperature of the flames around his body kept rising, even scorching the air until it warped and distorted.

Yu Xian sped toward the ocean. The flames around him grew increasingly intense, and he could feel Ryūjin Jakka awakening within him. The energy it continuously released made every inch of his body ache unbearably.

[ Ding! ]

[ Skill upgraded: Ryūjin Jakka (Incomplete) (5 stars) ]

[ Combat power visualization unlocked ]

[ Purple skill advancement unlocked. When the host possesses 5 max-star purple skills, the host may select one max-star skill to advance it to gold, unlocking all abilities within that skill's corresponding system. ]

[ Example 1: If Ryūjin Jakka advances to gold, all forms after Shikai will be unlocked. ]

[ Example 2: If Fire Dragon's Roar advances to gold, it will automatically upgrade to—Dragon Slayer Magic, unlocking all abilities related to the mage Natsu. ]

The energy within Yu Xian's body grew increasingly out of control. The powers of Ryūjin Jakka and Hyorinmaru seemed to be engaged in a fierce struggle, neither willing to yield.

"AAAAAHHH!"

Having finally flown above the coastline, Yu Xian could no longer hold on. Before the stunned eyes of everyone enjoying themselves on the shore,

with an enraged roar, his entire body plunged into the distant ocean like a fiery meteor.

Bang!

A massive pillar of steam rose from the sea. The seawater within a hundred-meter radius instantly boiled, huge bubbles continuously surfacing throughout the area as though some terrifying heat source lurked beneath.

Beneath the sea, the confrontation between ice and fire reached its peak.

The cold released by Hyorinmaru continuously froze the surrounding seawater, while Ryūjin Jakka's flames madly evaporated those layers of ice.

Yu Xian's skin began to crack, revealing the burning flesh beneath. The pain nearly made him lose consciousness.

But fortunately—and unfortunately—

Wolverine's Healing Factor continuously restored his damaged body, preventing him from passing out.

Yu Xian's body was filled with ice and fire energy. He felt that at any moment, he might no longer be able to endure the clash between the two forces.

And explode with a bang.

No.

I have to save myself!!!!

Since there was no outlet for the energy to vent, he could only use skills to release all this excess energy.

Without hesitation, Yu Xian acted as soon as the thought crossed his mind.

Fire Dragon's Roar!!!

Ice-Make Magic—Ice-Make: Ice Sword!!!

The tourists along the shore were given a huge fright by the suddenly incoming fireball.

When the fireball plunged into the distant sea, the crowd exploded into commotion.

"What the hell was that just now? Damn, that scared the crap out of me. I thought a meteor had hit Earth!"

"I saw it clearly. That looked like a person!!!"

"My God, what is happening to this world? So many superpowered people have suddenly appeared in just one day?"

"Look! That guy boiled the seawater!"

"How high does that temperature have to be?"

"Record it! This is definitely going to trend worldwide!"

"So scary! Was that an earthquake?"

"..."

As everyone discussed it heatedly, the roar of a dragon sounded from the sea.

Looking in the direction of the dragon's roar, they were shocked to see dazzling light pouring out from the constantly boiling water.

Boom!

A gigantic pillar of fire roughly five meters in diameter burst out of the sea and shot into the sky.

Even from several hundred meters away, everyone could clearly feel the scorching heat from that terrifying temperature.

Then came extreme cold. Frost spread across the sea, freezing it solid.

A massive sword nearly ten meters long condensed in midair and slashed toward the seawater beside it.

Slash!

Nearly a hundred meters of seawater was split in two and completely frozen.

On the seafloor, Yu Xian allowed the ice and fire energy within him to keep pouring out.

Ryūjin Jakka floated before him.

Its blade was crimson like magma, radiating dazzling light.

The flames formed a massive protective barrier, keeping the seawater outside.

Half an hour later, under everyone's stunned gazes, the boiling sea finally calmed down.

The seawater gradually cooled.

The steam dispersed.

Only a tranquil expanse of sea remained, as though nothing had happened.

Beneath the sea, Yu Xian had fully recovered. Two long blades, one fire and one ice, floated before him.

[ Congratulations, host. You have successfully mastered the power of ice and fire. ]

"From now on, I'm a dual-blade warrior?"

But with this strength, I could already feel the energy contained within it.

Now then, time to open the final golden chest!

Then I could use the item: Second Origin. According to the system display, I could still raise my strength a little more!

Yu Xian decided to test his luck. "System, open the golden chest!"

[ Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the following rewards. Please select one: ]

[ Gold: (Fate series) Servant Contract · Caster (Medea) (1 star) ]

[ Gold: (Demon Slayer series) Sun Breathing (1 star) ]

[ Gold: (One Piece series) Mythical Zoan · Phoenix Fruit (1 star) ]

[ Friendly reminder: ]

[ Servant Contract · Caster (Medea) is the Witch of Betrayal from the world of Fate. She answers the summons as the Caster class and carries the risk of turning against the host. ]

[ After signing the contract, she will use the Master's magical power as fuel and become the host's most dangerous ally. ]

"Hehe, these rewards are pretty interesting this time!"

"The Witch of Betrayal, a Breathing Style, and a Devil Fruit?"

"This really is a difficult choice!"
