Chapter 1345: 1345
“In front of Master Long San, you’re just an ant . Starting now, I, Master Long San, am going to dominate heaven and earth . You are only fit to crawl beneath my feet . ” Long Chen floated in the air like a god of fire looking down on the rest of the world . The violent way his hair and robes blew about him made him look deranged . His Spiritual Strength was also chaotic .
“He’s practically insane . He dares to say such a thing?” Kan Dongze shook his head .
Then looking at Long San’s scarlet eyes, it was clearly the effect of fire poison that had made him lose his reasoning . That was why he would say such brazen words .
Every one of the disciples surrounding the martial arena was unable to accept it . He had basically called all of them ants .
“Too arrogant! A newcomer also dares to be this arrogant? Who do you think you are?!”
“Luo Xiao, kill him! I’ve seen arrogant people, but never anyone so arrogant!”
Quite a few disciples couldn’t help but curse Long Chen . Perhaps this was simply envy for a disciple of the Divine Pill Hall . They finally had an excuse to openly curse one of them .
“Long San, you really are an idiot . I, Luo Xiao, began the switch to a flame cultivator half a year ago . My foundation is much more profound than yours . Furthermore, my cultivation base is in the Jade Core realm . As for you, you’re just in the Foundation Forging realm . Where did this arrogance of yours come from? Do you think I only have this little bit of ability? Let me tell you, that was just a test . The real fight starts now . Realize that next year, today will be the anniversary of your death! This is the real power of a flame cultivator!
“Power of the Flame Spirit, Form of Ten Thousand Beasts, I am your Soul, my Life is your Name . Contractual Flame Spirit Beast, appear!”
BOOM!
Flames suddenly erupted out of Luo Xiao as he formed hand seals . They condensed into a huge figure beneath his feet .
It was a flame salamander hundreds of meters long . A terrifying pressure caused the spectators’ hearts to shake .
“This Luo Xiao is actually able to condense his own Earth Flame Spirit Beast?” Kan Dongze was a bit surprised .
There were two types of Earth Flame Spirit Beasts . One was natural Earth Flames that took the appearance of beasts . They could be forcibly subdued and enslaved to fight for their master . But Earth Flames had their own spirits, and using a slave imprint to forcibly order it to fight would cause a conflict between its spirit and its master’s will . Sometimes it would suddenly attack its master .
The second method involved condensing an Earth Flame Spirit Beast through a kind of secret art possessed by Pill Valley . This Earth Flame Spirit Beast would be fully obedient .
The prerequisite to do such a thing was to sacrifice a portion of your Spiritual Strength to give life to the Earth Flame Spirit Beast . This Earth Flame Spirit Beast formed from your own Earth Flame energy and Spiritual Strength would be one hundred percent loyal, because its soul was a part of your soul . The master and beast could fight all-out .
Every alchemist could raise Earth Flame Spirit Beasts, but sacrificing a portion of their Spiritual Strength for an Earth Flame Spirit Beast was not worth it .
As for the Spiritual Strength you sacrificed, it would never fully recover . It signified that you would never have one hundred percent of your soul energy ever again .
Each sliver of Spiritual Strength was extremely important to an alchemist . Sometimes the success or failure of a refinement was dependent on just that one sliver .
As a result, there were essentially no alchemists that raised their own Earth Flame Spirit Beasts . Furthermore, the more powerful the Earth Flame Spirit Beast, the more soul energy would be exhausted .
Luo Xiao’s Earth Flame Spirit Beast was extremely powerful . Luo Xiao had sacrificed a full ten percent of his Spiritual Strength to raise it . That was why it was so terrifying, capable of instantly killing ordinary Jade Core experts .
“Die!”
Luo Xiao’s flame salamander suddenly charged forward, slamming a claw at Long Chen .
BOOM! Flames filled the sky . Long Chen had met the salamander’s claw with his fist .
Compared to the flame salamander, Long Chen was as tiny as a fly . Although he managed to stop the claw, he was constantly being pushed back by it . The huge power blew apart Long Chen’s shoes .
Blood-red runes appeared on Long Chen’s feet . They ground against the metal bricks, releasing a hair-raising metallic ringing .
“Not bad . That Earth Flame essence wasn’t wasted . Long San’s physical body is comparable to a body cultivator . ” Seeing Long Chen rely on just his physical strength to block this flame salamander, Zhuo Tianxiang nodded .
“Reporting to Protector Zhuo, disciple has noticed that Long San’s physical body is extremely powerful . Even after absorbing all that Earth Flame essence, it doesn’t seem like he’s reached his limit . If we had more time and he could absorb more Earth Flame essence, his body would grow even stronger,” interjected Elder Zhu .
“I see . Alchemists normally have weak bodies . This Long San really is an oddity . If we weren’t in such a rush, he definitely would be raised properly . With such a powerful physical body, there’s basically no way he can lose . When he gets back, properly raise this secret weapon . Perhaps he can give us a pleasant surprise . ” Zhuo Tianxiang smiled .
BOOM!
Long Chen was finally unable to continue blocking the power of the flame salamander and was sent flying .
Die!” Luo Xiao didn’t give Long Chen any chance to recover . The tail of the salamander whipped toward him .
“Hmph, do you think you’re the only one with an Earth Flame Spirit Beast? Power of the Flame Spirit, Form of Ten Thousand Beasts, I am your Soul, my Life is your Name . Contractual Flame Spirit Beast, appear!”
Long Chen suddenly made the same hand seals and chanted the same thing as Luo Xiao .
Seeing this shocked everyone, even Zhuo Tianxiang and the ones in the room .
“Hehe, under my supervision and guidance, Long San can now use this move . ” Elder Zhu modestly smiled . But the delight in his eyes sold him out .
In truth, Elder Zhu was just trying to make himself look better . This wasn’t something he had taught Long Chen . It was something he had taken the initiative to learn .
Suddenly, a huge blood-colored wolf appeared in the air . It was extremely lifelike, looking just like a real Magical Beast .
It immediately let out a furious howl . All its hair stood on end, and its eyes contained icy killing intent .
“He’s actually able to condense such a lifelike Earth Flame Spirit Beast? Just how much Spiritual Strength did he sacrifice?” asked Zhuo Tianxiang .
The more solid the Earth Flame Spirit Beast, the greater its power, and the more Spiritual Strength had to be sacrificed to condense it .
“I really don’t know . Long San has so much Spiritual Strength that even after condensing this Earth Flame Spirit Beast, I didn’t sense his Spiritual Strength drop . ” Elder Zhu shook his head, sighing .
The wolf bit the salamander’s tail and instantly tore it off .
Not giving the tail any time to transform into runes, the wolf opened its mouth and devoured it .
This blood-colored flame wolf was no Earth Flame Spirit Beast . It was one of Huo Long’s transformations . Its appearance was similar to Little Snow’s, but its fur was blood-colored instead of white, the specific color of the Berserk Blood Flame .
Long Chen stood atop its head . Seeing this familiar figure, he felt a wave of emotion . It was like he could see Little Snow blocking the Yama King Blood Curse for him and dying in the Immemorial Path .
“Little Snow, charge!”
Long Chen let out a quiet cry . It was like he had returned to a time when they could fight alongside each other . Huo Long seemed to be able to sense Long Chen’s emotions, and it let out a roar . It bent its legs and then pounced at Luo Xiao as quick as lightning .
Luo Xiao was shocked and infuriated . He had never imagined that Long Chen would have an Earth Flame Spirit Beast, and one even stronger than his own at that .
Due to Long Chen’s Earth Flame being of an even higher rank than Luo Xiao’s, his Earth Flame Spirit Beast was stronger, causing Luo Xiao to panic .
Luo Xiao made the salamander dodge, wanting to avoid it being killed in one hit . But he didn’t know that Long Chen’s flame wolf was no ordinary Earth Flame Spirit Beast . Huo Long had been raised by Long Chen from its youth, and it had experienced countless bloody battles with him . It possessed its own combat instincts .
Although its form had changed to a wolf instead of a dragon, it was still nimble and agile . Missing its first dash, its back legs stamped on the ground and it spun, rushing toward the salamander that had just dodged . Luo Xiao had yet to even stabilize it yet .
BOOM!
In front of countless shocked gazes, the wolf’s paw slammed into the salamander, making it explode .
Although Luo Xiao had abandoned his Earth Flame Spirit Beast at the last moment and was flying away, he was coughing up blood from the shockwaves .
Before he could do anything, a figure appeared in front of him, and a large hand clamped over his throat, holding him in the air like a chicken .
A pair of eyes with blood-colored runes in them stared at him . That gaze was like the gaze of a death god, and Luo Xiao’s soul almost fled out of terror .
“Long San… don’t kill me… please, I’m begging you!” At this time, Luo Xiao’s throat was caught and he couldn’t speak . He could only send out a spiritual message, begging for mercy .
“I had no choice other than to target you! Please, let me go! I won’t do anything to you ever again!” Luo Xiao was full of terror .
The outsiders couldn’t sense Luo Xiao’s spiritual messages outside the martial stage, but they saw his begging appearance .
“Speak . Who deceived Duan Tianqiao?” Long Chen’s voice was icy without the slightest emotion, just like a Grim Reaper from hell .
