"Trash. Couldn't even take a single hit."
Ma Hongjun spat disdainfully.
Feeling the abundant Evil Fire Soul Power within him, Ma Hongjun's face brimmed with smug pride.
Ever since coming to Heaven Dou City.
In the Great Soul Arena, he had swept through nearly every opponent at his level.
That feeling of power, of having everything under his control, had immensely satisfied Ma Hongjun's vanity.
"Who knows which corner that traitor Chen Jin is barely clinging to life in now?"
Ma Hongjun sat down alone in the lounge, lifted a large mug of ale, and took a mighty swig.
"He betrayed Shrek and betrayed our teacher."
"He's destined to be nothing but a weakling."
Ma Hongjun clenched his fist, a ball of purplish-red Evil Fire dancing in his palm.
"When I step onto the stage of the All-Continent Elite Tournament, I'll make sure everyone knows."
"Who is the True Phoenix!"
"Chen Jin isn't even worthy of carrying my shoes!"
Ma Hongjun laughed loudly, his laughter echoing through the empty room.
His extreme confidence swelled to its peak.
A secluded forest.
The blazing sun gradually sank westward.
Golden evening light spilled through the trees.
Chen Jin remained deep in meditation.
Yet beside him.
Something was wrong with Huo Wu.
Although part of the medicinal potency of the whale rubber she had taken earlier had been refined.
That surge of pure yang energy was simply too immense.
Especially for Huo Wu, who had never experienced intimacy between a man and a woman.
The primal restlessness contained in the whale rubber began quietly awakening within her.
"So hot..."
Huo Wu murmured.
Her cheeks were so red they looked almost bewitching.
A hazy veil of moisture clouded her spirited eyes.
Her delicate body could not help twisting gently.
Her legs rubbed together restlessly, the blood within her burning.
Huo Wu felt an unbearable itch in every inch of her skin, longing for coolness.
"Why is this happening..."
Surging tides were swallowing Huo Wu's reason.
Her trembling hands reached for her collar.
Riiip.
Her neckline tore open.
Revealing a broad expanse of snow-white skin.
Her delicate collarbones gleamed enticingly in the sunlight.
But this did nothing to ease the scorching heat inside her.
Huo Wu moved her hands again.
Her outer garment slipped off.
Leaving only a close-fitting red dudou.
It outlined her full, nearly perfect curves in vivid detail.
Her slender waist, her flat belly.
And those long, straight, flawless legs.
Her delicate feet curled unconsciously against the grass, her rounded toes tinged faint pink.
Huo Wu at that moment.
Was a vision of a thousand charms.
Like a fiery rose in full bloom, ready to be plucked.
Huo Wu's gaze settled fixedly on Chen Jin nearby.
Through her blurred vision.
He sat cross-legged, emanating a fatal attraction.
It was the pure yang aura of Ultimate Fire.
To Huo Wu, who was suffering the torment of Evil Fire, Chen Jin was the most perfect antidote in the world.
"Chen Jin..."
Huo Wu's voice was low and languid.
Overwhelming desire shattered Huo Wu's reason.
The young woman stood up.
Her steps swayed, yet carried a strange allure.
One step, then another.
She walked up to Chen Jin.
Huo Wu could no longer restrain the longing in her heart.
Her delicate body went limp.
She fell into Chen Jin's arms.
Her snow-white arms wound around Chen Jin's neck like water snakes.
Her long, beautiful legs wrapped around his waist in the same motion.
Her whole body clung to Chen Jin like a vine.
A warm, silky sensation reached him.
Huo Wu buried her lovely face in the crook of Chen Jin's neck, greedily breathing in his scent.
"That feels so good..."
Huo Wu let out a satisfied murmur.
Her delicate feet swayed gently in midair, stirring a fragrant breeze.
A warm, soft beauty had suddenly appeared in his arms.
That astonishing suppleness and astonishing heat jolted Chen Jin's mind as he devoted all his strength to breaking through the barrier.
His eyes snapped open.
What greeted him.
Was a dazzling expanse of white skin.
And Huo Wu's lovely, alluring face, mere inches away.
Chen Jin stiffened.
"Huo Wu, what are you doing?"
Chen Jin spoke in a low voice.
Huo Wu could not take in a single word at that moment.
She merely rubbed her warm red lips gently against Chen Jin's Adam's apple on instinct.
"Chen Jin... I'm so hot... help me..."
Huo Wu's voice came in fragments.
Her hazy eyes were filled with longing.
Chen Jin knitted his brows tightly.
Although his heart was devoted to cultivation, faced with such an exquisite beauty throwing herself into his arms, the pure yang fire within him also showed faint signs of slipping out of control.
"You've eaten more than you can handle."
Chen Jin tried to pull the woman wrapped around him away.
But Huo Wu held on tightly, as though she wished she could melt into Chen Jin's body.
"Don't push me away..."
Huo Wu murmured plaintively.
She even rubbed her long, beautiful legs against Chen Jin's waist.
Chen Jin was helpless.
"Nonsense."
"This whale rubber is far too old. Your constitution isn't strong enough to digest it completely."
While resisting Huo Wu's astonishing allure, Chen Jin tried to use Soul Power to regulate the heat within her.
But as ice and fire intertwined.
The temperature in the forest grew even hotter.
In the secluded forest.
The breeze gradually stilled.
The temperature among the trees rose at that moment.
Huo Wu pressed against Chen Jin's chest, her warm, delicate body like a mass of yielding water, rubbing against the young man's embrace.
Her exquisite red dudou slipped askew with her movements.
Broad expanses of snow-white, silky skin dazzled the eye.
Her long, straight legs wound around Chen Jin's waist, her rounded feet stretching taut in midair, her pink toes curling from the heat and stirring the fallen leaves on the ground.
"Hot... so hot..."
Huo Wu parted her red lips slightly, her breath carrying an orchid-like sweetness as it spilled against the crook of Chen Jin's neck.
Her hazy eyes held nothing but instinctive longing.
Her soft hands stroked haphazardly over Chen Jin's chest, trying to find some coolness to lower her body temperature.
Chen Jin drew a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the heat rising in his heart.
The warm, soft beauty in his arms held a fatal allure.
Especially those long, flawless legs and the astonishing suppleness pressed against him, enough to make any man lose control.
But at that moment.
The Soul Power within him had reached its most critical juncture.
The first turn of the Nine-Turn Nirvana Art circulated rapidly through his meridians, continually converting the medicinal potency of the whale rubber he had swallowed earlier into pure Soul Power.
Under the impact of the immense energy, a dense web of cracks appeared in the level-thirty-four barrier.
If he became distracted now, all his previous efforts could easily come to nothing, and he could suffer a backlash from the art.
Chen Jin simply closed his eyes, letting the woman in his arms cling to him.
His awareness sank into a state of internal observation.
He guided the Nine-Heaven Divine Phoenix Origin within him in an all-out assault against that solid bottleneck.
Gold-Red flames surged through his meridians like a mighty river.
Every acupoint grew tougher under the tempering of the energy.
The pure yang blood energy contained in the whale rubber continuously merged into his bones and muscles.
A faint layer of Gold-Red keratin appeared on the surface of Chen Jin's body, then disappeared beneath his skin.
His physical strength underwent a qualitative leap at that moment.
The barrier within him finally shattered.
Level thirty-five!
Level thirty-six!
Level thirty-seven!
Level thirty-eight!
Level thirty-nine!
Level forty!
His Soul Power climbed without pause, stopping only at the peak of level forty.
And he had also mastered the second turn of the Nine-Turn Nirvana Art.
Chen Jin opened his eyes, a brilliant golden gleam flashing through them.
In the space behind him.
A phantom of the Nine-Heaven Divine Phoenix appeared, radiating sacred majesty.
Immediately afterward.
A pair of enormous wings formed from Gold-Red Ultimate Fire unfurled behind Chen Jin.
Every feather on the wings was clearly visible, flowing with shimmering golden radiance and emitting scorching heat.
Second divine ability-Phoenix God's Wings!
The wings could provide unparalleled flight speed, while serving both offense and defense.
With a mere thought, the wings could transform into fiery feathers that filled the sky, burning enemies to ashes.
