The Brilliant Fighting Master

It was soon an Elixir Fire Union’s member’s turn to deal with the little fiery burning man. It seemed like he was quite nervous and didn’t have any of his past fighting spirit. He just hoped not to make a grave blunder.

He gritted his teeth and took the little fiery burning man. His muscles started bulging and he ended up unexpectedly using too much power, almost squashing the little burning man. If the little burning man possessed high elasticity, then after he was compressed greatly, the rebounding power would be extremely terrifying.

The man’s arms started shivered, and the compressed little burning man shook off his hands. Its power erupted out after it reached a critical point.

The man screamed miserably, while his clothes started burning as he fell on the ground.

After the little burning man regained freedom once again, it became quite excited and released waves of raging flames. It caused the lounge to descend into chaos once more.

“Really?” Chen Xi grumbled and quickly made a move, catching the little burning man.

“It seems like we can’t continue playing this game.”

Chen Xi caught the little burning man and just let it struggle as it wanted. She looked at the Heaven Alchemist, who had just suffered a stroke of bad luck, and shook her head softly.

After everyone went back to their seats, many emotions intertwined in their hearts.

“Were our Heaven Alchemists always this mediocre?” The people here, along with the Heaven Alchemists, couldn’t help but have such a thought.

“I already figured everything out. I’ll set everything properly in four days,” said Chen Xi.

“Miss Chen Xi, I’m sorry for disappointing you.” The unlucky Heaven Alchemist had an unsightly expression as he exchanged his burned outerwear for new clothes.

“Don’t mind it. Such a matter occurs constantly,” Chen Xi replied casually.

“It’s better like this, as some suspense will be left, and we won’t end up knowing both sides’ skill levels,” someone said, trying to brighten the mood.

“The little fiery burning man can only reveal one’s person foundation, while the three trials will vary, so I hope that you can prepare well for them.” Chen Xi couldn’t help but state this.

Upon hearing her, the expressions of the Elixir Fire Union and Elixir Association’s members changed slightly.

“I still want to play this game.” Jiang Chen stood up and attracted everyone’s gazes with his words.

A ruckus rose in the lounge that calmed down immediately. Everyone’s gazes concentrated on Jiang Chen. This was the case even for Chen Xi, who was just about to collect the little fiery burning man.

“You’d better not cause trouble here,” angrily rebuked the Heaven Alchemist in the Elixir Fire Union’s camp who’d had a conflict with Jiang Chen that day.

He also still didn’t try it, but that game had already come to an end. However, he didn’t regret it. Instead, he rejoiced. Such elation was shameful, but since it was the case for everyone, he didn’t care.

However, Jiang Chen still stood out and wanted to fearlessly challenge it. Such a matter irritated all the Heaven Alchemists and also the Elixir Association’s members.

“Jiang Chen, what do you want to do?” Yan Ruyu asked. She called out Jiang Chen’s name just to remind people who he was.

“He’s the person titled the youngest Heaven Alchemist.”

“His courage is laudable!”

“Who knows what the outcome will be? If he ends up injuring himself, he’ll end up making a joke of himself in front of the Elixir Emperor’s disciple.”

The crowd started discussing it spiritedly and whispering to each other. They were all displeased by his actions.

Chen Xi had already stated that she would stop the game and shown enough consideration for the Three Middle Realms’ Heaven Alchemists, yet Jiang Chen still spoke up. It was obvious that he wasn’t willing to accept it and wanted to show off his skills.

“Do you want to play with it?” Chen Xi examined him with her pretty eyes. She said with a smile, “Are you confident about it?”

“That’s right,” Jiang Chen replied.

“Jiang Chen, you will become the laughingstock of the Elixir Association.” Yan Ruyu transmitted her voice to him. Her face was filled with anxiety, since she wanted to stop his reckless actions.

Jiang Chen didn’t feel like caring about her, so he just looked at the Elixir Emperor’s disciple.

“Since you asked for it on your own accord, I don’t have any issue with it,” Chen Xi said. She raised her palm. Even though the little fiery burning man was just tossed from side to side repeatedly, it was still vigorous, and its temperature was as high as ever.

“Even if you surpass ten seconds and reach twenty seconds, what use will it be? It’s still just a mediocre achievement in the eyes of the Elixir Emperor’s disciple.” Pang Xiong transmitted his voice to him to mock him.

Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to him, and instead, looked at the little fiery burning man.

“Take it!” Chen Xi spoke as the little fiery burning man started flying toward him.

Sigh!

Upon witnessing this, many people there couldn’t help but shake their heads. They couldn’t bear watching what would occur afterward. If Jiang Chen suffered any injuries, all Three Middle Realms would be shamed along with him.

Moreover, even if Jiang Chen’s achievement managed to surpass the representatives of the Elixir Association and Elixir Fire Union, it would still be mediocre. The Elixir Fire Union’s short-haired woman stared at him and looked on as the little fiery burning man streaked across the air, then fell before Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s stance seemed even more casual than other people, and he didn’t extend his hand toward it until it reached him. It was only in the last second that he reached out with his right hand, wanting to take the little burning man.

“Stupid!” Many people cursed him upon witnessing this.

The three people who had tried it before him had used both hands, yet they still hadn’t managed to subdue the little burning man. So wasn’t he just courting death by extending out just a single hand?

Unlike the others, Chen Xi just raised her brows while her pupils contracted. She simply stared at Jiang Chen’s five fingers. She didn’t see any flames in them, but she still could feel a strong Fire Lore power emanating from them.

A Spirit Seal faintly appeared on his five fingers as he held the little fiery burning man. The little burning man was like an erupting volcano, and as he held it in his hand, he felt like an earthquake was occurring on his hand, and his hand couldn’t help but become numb.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and flames started rising from his arm.

“Will something bad happen?”

It didn’t seem from Jiang Chen’s current look that he would show an especially good performance. The people’s worries were verified, and their expressions became unsightly.

“I subdued even the Sky-burning Evil Flame, let alone a little burning man like you.” Jiang Chen exerted his power through his fingers and started reading the Fire God Scripture silently. A high temperature emanated from him, and the Ji family’s sisters next to him were forced to draw back hurriedly.

The Divine Fire Ring in his other hand started emitting a blaze.

Three seconds… Five seconds… Ten Seconds…

In the blink of an eye, twenty seconds passed, yet Jiang Chen’s performance was still the same as before, and he was still persisting on.

“Huh?” All of a sudden, the world before Jiang Chen’s eyes turned into a sea of flames, and all of the Fire God Scripture’s characters appeared in his mind, shining in a blazing light there.

His whole body’s flames became more vigorous, and he seemed like a burning furnace.

He won’t die here, will he? someone thought inwardly.

The expressions of the Heaven Alchemists present there changed drastically. They all felt Jiang Chen’s transformation and noticed the difference and disparity between his current and previous states.

“The Three Middle Realms still have such a genius.” Chen Xi’s eyes lit up. She found herself attracted to Jiang Chen.

After around forty seconds passed, all the flames on Jiang Chen’s body went back to the little burning man.

The crowd discovered that Jiang Chen’s arm muscles had loosened up, and his five fingers hadn’t exerted any power on the small man. However, the little burning man still didn’t try to struggle away. It seemed weak and powerless, in the same state it had been in while in Chen Xi’s palm.

“Miss Chen Xi, what happened?” someone asked curiously.

Chen Xi didn’t reply and just stood there for a moment. Just after that, she started clapping while walking toward Jiang Chen. “The little fiery burning man game’s objective is subduing the little burning man.

“Regardless, if one can persist for a dozen seconds, or even a minute, it will still be counted as a failure as long as he can’t subdue it, but it’s still an outstanding achievement.

“Anyone who manages to subdue it successfully has spent more than a minute doing so, while he managed to achieve in just forty seconds, and he could be considered among the best.”

When Chen Xi’s words echoed, she was already standing in front of Jiang Chen.

“Your name is Jiang Chen?” Chen Xi said. “The guy whom my master always mentioned has the same name. It’s really a coincidence.”

Upon hearing her, a ruckus rose in the lounge, while Jiang Chen was taken aback.

“However, it’s impossible for you to be that Jiang Chen.” Chen Xi revealed a crafty smile and took back the little fiery burning man.
