Observing One Another
During their journey, the group encountered many magical beasts, and in the process, both sides became somewhat familiar with each other's combat methods.
Based on Xu Xingyu's observations and his vague memories of the God of Wine world, although Ji Dong possessed ranged attack capabilities, he primarily used them for harassment or as a final, decisive blow.
Most of the time, he prefers to solve problems through close combat with his fists, and his fighting style can be described as ferocious, which explains why he is called the Tyrant in the original work.
Lan Bao'er's role is much simpler. Most of her attacks are ranged, and her preferred fighting style is to control her opponent before delivering the final blow.
In addition, she possesses healing abilities, though these abilities are only so-so. They're fine for treating minor injuries, but for fatal wounds, they can at most provide some relief.
Although Xu Xingyu thought their cultivation levels were very weak, their teamwork was quite good, and they were always able to make precise and optimal responses to hunt down various magical beasts.
Moreover, Xu Xingyu knew that Ji Dong was still holding back, since he remembered that Ji Dong had killed a seventh-tier magical beast during his four-crown period in the novel, and later he seemed to have used the same strength for the final blow against a ninth-tier magical beast.
Meanwhile, Ji Dong's notes were the author's own observations of Xu Xingyu and the others.
Because Ya Lin'er was injured and had been held in Xu Xingyu's arms the whole time, she knew nothing about her except that her cultivation level was Six Crowns.
Gu Qiuxi is similar to him in some ways. She rarely uses ranged attacks and prefers to solve problems in close combat most of the time. The difference is that she also has a long spear at her disposal.
It's no wonder that she, as a woman, possesses such pure Yang Crown; she's a quintessential violent woman.
If Xu Xingyu knew what he was thinking, she would have no choice but to accept it. Even if he knew that Gu Qiuxi was more of a cold and aloof princess than a tomboy, he couldn't explain it to her.
According to the laws of the Five Elements Continent, if a woman wears a white Yin Yang Crown, it means she is a complete tomboy. Conversely, if a man wears a black Yin Yang Crown, it means he is effeminate.
Therefore, when Gu Qiuxi chose to emulate her and suppress her Yin attribute, turning her black and white Yin Yang Crown into a white Yin Yang Crown symbolizing the Yang attribute, she could not escape the title of "tomboy".
However, there were two things that made Ji Dong feel a little strange. The first was that Gu Qiuxi's physical strength seemed a bit too strong. Many times when he saw her fighting, she killed some magical beasts that were famous for their defense without even using Magic Power.
This powerful body even surpasses that of Ji Dong Ji Dong, whose body has been modified by dragon blood, Vermilion Bird blood, and Soaring Snake blood, making him fully capable of fighting against ordinary Six Crowns experts.
But if he were facing Gu Qiuxi, he had a premonition that after a few punches, many of his bones would be smashed to powder by Gu Qiuxi.
The second point is Gu Qiuxi's fire attribute. Her flames feel different from normal Yang Fire. First of all, the color of her flames is golden red. Normal Yang Fire should be red, while Yin Fire is blue.
Only the most extreme Yang Fire is golden, so Ji Dong initially thought that Gu Qiuxi was the true Bing Fire Saint, since his Ultimate Twin Fires attribute was acquired through the method of absorbing the seeds left behind by the two kings of the Earth Core World after their deaths.
However, upon further observation, he was surprised to discover that Gu Qiuxi's flames seemed to surpass the Ultimate Yang Fire. The most important evidence was that, in order to test the power of the other party's golden-red flames, he deliberately revealed that he was a Yin-Yang balanced magician who could control the Ultimate Twin Fires.
As a result, his Ultimate Twin Fires was actually suppressed in front of those golden-red flames!!!
Theoretically, the Ultimate Attribute! Since both should be at the ultimate level, there shouldn't be a question of one suppressing the other!!!
Xu Xingyu is even more mysterious. Throughout the journey, he didn't make many moves because he was carrying the injured Ya Lin'er. But every time he did, he gave people a feeling of unfathomable depth.
According to Xu Xingyu, his attribute is a wind attribute that mutated from the wood attribute, and it is an attribute that is both fast and agile.
Therefore, Xu Xingyu's attacks were always lightning fast. They couldn't even react before the enemy monsters were torn to shreds by the wind blades controlled by Xu Xingyu Xu Xingyu.
What Ji Dong was most concerned about was that Xu Xingyu's wind element seemed to be at the ultimate level, but normally, unless you are Nine Crowns powerhouse, you wouldn't have Ultimate Attribute.
Those who are born with Ultimate Attribute are only the so-called Heavenly Stem Saints. Could it be that Xu Xingyu, like himself, obtained some special opportunity that allowed him to acquire Ultimate Attribute before he even reached the Nine Crowns?
It can only be said that the more Ji Dong observed Ji Dong Xu Xingyu and the others, the deeper and more vigilant he became about the mysteries surrounding them.
After an unknown amount of time, they arrived at the edge of the seventh and eighth floors, and from their current position, they could vaguely see the military camp established by the Light Five Elements Legion in the distance.
Just as they were about to continue, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble, and a huge black shadow burst forth from the earth, attacking them.
Upon seeing this, Xu Xingyu immediately used wind elements to create a large air sphere and envelop the five of them.
Just as the dark figure's attack was about to strike, Xu Xingyu controlled the air sphere to dodge all the attacks.
After dodging all the attacks, the group finally saw the true identity of the shadowy figure that had attacked them.
It was a massive magical beast, its body covered in deep blue dragon scales that gleamed with a damp sheen. Its body was covered in thick soil, as if it were one with the earth itself.
Its dragon eyes, as clear as azure water, were now filled with greed, as if it had seen a treasure it had never seen before.
Since Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi were not from this plane, they did not recognize what kind of magical beast it was.
Ji Dong had dropped out of the Heavenly Stem Academy long ago for some special reasons. Although he had consulted his grandmaster about magical beasts afterward, there were still some rare magical beasts that he was not very clear about, and unfortunately this was one of them.
However, Lan Bao'er, who was standing to the side, did not recognize the true form of the monster, and because of this, her face was filled with fear.
Lan Bao'er said tremblingly, "This is actually Mist Earth Swamp Dragon!!! And a ninth-tier Mist Earth Swamp Dragon!!!"
