On the second day of the Azure Prison Spirit Realm, the color of heaven and earth suddenly changed.
The original blue sky was replaced by a thick layer of red clouds that looked like coagulated blood clots.
From time to time, dark red lightning flashed through the clouds, causing bursts of dull thunder.
The cool fragrance of vegetation in the air has long since disappeared, replaced by hot and dry Fire Spiritual Energy, and a pungent, burnt-smelling gray smoke.
Chu Bai sat behind a blackened rock, feeling the burning sensation coming from his lungs.
"Law Net's fluctuations have become stronger... In other words, there is human intervention from the overhaul." Chu Bai whispered to himself, he stretched out his hand, and a touch of moisture condensed on his fingertips.
The watery light that originally appeared in an instant now trembled slightly and quickly dissipated under the steam of the heat wave.
In this extreme fire-attribute environment, the water-type Spell Arts's cohesion speed is at least 30% slower, and its power is even more suppressed. However, the consumption of Spell Power is a few minutes faster than in ordinary fierce battles.
At this time, in the void of the sea of consciousness displayed by Mind-Link Mark, the rankings changed again.
[Current points: 480]
[Current ranking: 15th]
After a whole day of high-frequency hunting, Chu Bai has been firmly established in the first echelon.
At this stage, it is difficult to make a qualitative leap in the ranking simply by hunting low-level Demon Beast, because the points for the top twenty are extremely tight.
Most of the students who have been able to persist until now are either rich in treasures or have special skills. In their eyes, the ordinary Qi Induction level Demon Beast is no longer the main force in gaining points.
"Huh--"
Chu Bai took a deep breath and started Proficient Level's "Origin Return Formula".
If you are practicing pure water-based techniques, you may be busy looking for a cool place to escape the heat at this moment to prevent your spiritual power from losing control.
Chu Bai closed his eyes, as if he could see the violent and chaotic Fire Spiritual Energy all around him being forcibly tamed in his meridians.
Although the transformation process was several times more painful than usual, his Spell Power pool always remained in a steady state of replenishment.
"There's something wrong with this fire... it's not just hot, it's also carrying a sinister smoke."
Chu Bai noticed something strange. This kind of smoke entering the body will continue to wear away the monk's Dao Heart, making people become manic and irritable.
He stood up and walked towards the Magma Lake in the core area of the Spirit Realm. That was currently the area with the highest concentration of alienated Demon Beast, and it was also the place with the most points.
Magma Lake bank, red waves rolling.
Dark red magma flows in the ravine, making a gurgling sound. The heat wave in the air has distorted the line of sight, making the distant scenery look blurry and overlapping.
On a huge red rock by the lake, a figure like an iron tower was waving Broad Sword.
"Ha!"
A thunderous shout.
Tao Mingzhi was shirtless, and his originally bronze skin showed a strange dark red color under the firelight.
The heavy sword in his hand is now wrapped in a layer of Crimson Sunfire Aura that is so rich that it is almost substantial. Every time the sword is struck, it can directly split the "Earthfire Lizard" in half.
His aura is extremely violent, as if he is integrated with this piece of Magma Lake.
Tao Mingzhi, as the leader of Class Three, originally majored in the fire-based epee, but now in this "Blazing Furnace", his strength has not declined but increased, and he has a faint power of Qi Refining Second Layer's mid-term.
"Who? Get out!"
Tao Mingzhi turned his head suddenly, swept the heavy sword across, and a half-moon-shaped fire wave about ten feet long directly cut off the stone pillar behind him.
Chu Bai slowly walked out from the shadow behind the stone pillar, his green shirt rustling in the hot wind. His eyes were still cold, which formed a sharp contrast with the hot environment.
"It's you, Chu Bai."
Tao Mingzhi The fanaticism in his eyes subsided slightly, replaced by a strong fighting spirit to the extreme.
He leaned on the heavy sword and panted violently. The sweat slid down his back and was evaporated into white mist in an instant. "You beat me in the monthly test. I Tao Mingzhi Qi Ingestion. But in the past month, my Tao family has provided me with supplies at all costs, and I have also taken advantage of this place..."
He opened his mouth, showing his white teeth, and smiled a little crazy, "These Half-Year Grand Competition points are certainly important, but I want to know even more, how much power your water needle can still have under this blazing flame!"
"Then as you wish."
Chu Bai raised his right hand and grabbed the void.
[Origin Guard Shield] Instantly condensed, different from the translucence of the past, there was actually a coldness like Mystic Ice inside the round shield at this moment to counteract the favorable geographical conditions.
"Okay! Take my move, Blazing Sun Mountain-Splitting Slash!"
Tao Mingzhi shouted loudly, and the red rock beneath his feet shattered into pieces under his feet.
His whole body turned into a red afterimage, and the heavy sword struck down on his head with the power of collapsing mountains and cracking rocks.
This sword condensed all the energy and energy in his body, and with the power of Earthfire, it was frighteningly powerful.
Faced with this inevitable and overwhelming blow, Chu Bai finally used the core insights he had gained over the past month.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, his left hand turned into a claw, and he moved forward gently.
[Formless Cloud Hand]--Cloud Thread Entanglement.
The originally flexible Cloud Hand no longer looked soft in the fire waves, but looked like a ball of extremely sticky spider silk.
When the epee struck Cloud Hand's Spell Power range, Tao Mingzhi was horrified to find that his overbearing strength seemed to have crashed into a spinning quagmire.
Chu Bai's hands brought up the afterimages, and Spell Power turned into softness, adhering to the trajectory of the epee.
Tao Mingzhi only felt that his heavy sword was deflecting to the right uncontrollably. Not only that, the raging fire wave brought by the sword actually drew a strange arc under the pull of Chu Bai and shot towards his own flank in the opposite direction!
"What?!"
Tao Mingzhi was so shocked that it was too late to hold back.
This is [Formless Cloud Hand]'s real killer move after entering the realm of mastery and receiving support from Qi Refining Second Layer Spell Power—traction and backlash!
Tao Mingzhi was forced to use his left arm to bear the aftermath of his own fire wave, staggering.
At this moment, Chu Bai's right hand [Origin Guard Shield] suddenly pushed forward.
At that moment, when the originally light gray round shield came into contact with the flames on the Tao Mingzhi epee, it automatically transformed into a crystal clear water form.
"There is some Pure Bathing Spirit Flow in the body, which can come in handy..."
The collision of water and fire stirred up a huge cloud of water vapor beside Magma Lake.
In the white mist, Tao Mingzhi took seven steps back in a row, each step digging a deep hole in the black rock.
Chu Bai, on the other hand, was still standing where he was. Although there were a few burnt spots on his sleeves, his breath was surprisingly stable.
"Come again!"
Tao Mingzhi's eyes were red and he looked like a madman.
He continued to activate the potential in his body, and his heavy sword skills turned into afterimages all over the sky, and every strike brought out a sky-high fire.
However, Chu Bai is like a small boat sailing through the stormy waves.
He no longer used any remote attacks, and just relied on his pair of Cloud Hand and a round shield to shuttle through the firelight.
A quarter of an hour.
Two quarters of an hour.
Tao Mingzhi's attacks are getting slower and slower, and the sweat on his forehead has been mixed with gray fire poisonous smoke. After all, his Spell Power is not endless. Under such a high-intensity explosion, the sea of qi has bottomed out.
On the other hand, Chu Bai, although his Origin-Returning Spell Power is also consuming, the extremely high frequency of throughput and transformation allows him to always maintain a safe bottom line.
"I lost..."
Tao Mingzhi suddenly sheathed his sword and stood up, inserting the Broad Sword in his hand into the rock. He laughed, with a sense of loneliness in his laughter, but more magnanimous, "Brother Chu, your "Origin Return Formula" is really unreasonable. I have the advantage, and the Spell Power explosion is far greater than yours, but it doesn't even hurt your clothes. This war of attrition... I can't afford it."
He has exhausted his spiritual power at this time, and if he encounters Demon Beast, he will definitely die.
"Take these points! I hope to see you in the Spirit Pavilion!"
Tao Mingzhi didn't hesitate at all, and directly offered his Mind-Link Mark, transferring half of the points to Chu Bai.
Immediately, he crushed Teleportation Talisman in a cool manner.
A flash of white light flashed, and the tough guy Class Three disappeared from where he was.
Chu Bai looked at the rankings beating in the sea of consciousness.
[Current points: 1260]
[Current ranking: 8th]
Officially entering the top ten!
Chu Bai looked at the red clouds that were getting colder and hotter all around, but there was no joy in his heart.
"The environment has changed too much, and the difficulty will inevitably increase accordingly."
"Of course the assessment will not only compare one content, you need to adapt as soon as possible..."
