Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

Chapter 380: Chapter 372: Advancing to the Final Battle

"Hahaha, this kid is just my type! Old Dan, I’m afraid you’re going to lose this bet!"

Dilaka’s joy was indescribable as he watched Mu Chen neutralize the Ice and Fire Burst. ’An Ice and Fire Dual Attribute Martial Artist... Do people like that even exist? No! At least, in the thousand years I’ve been alive, it’s absolutely unheard of!’

"..." Shan Qiuhen’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He shot Dilaka a sideways glance. "What’s there to be smug about? Maybe the kid just got lucky. Besides, that Ice and Fire Dual Attribute might just be an illusion. Watch."

As he spoke, Shan Qiuhen extended his left hand. With a thought, a scorching blue flame coalesced in his palm. After forming the flame, he extended his right hand. His eyes flashed, his internal Primordial Power shifted, and with a series of sharp hisses, razor-sharp Ice Crystals formed, hovering over his hand.

"It’s just an illusion." He clenched his fists, and the condensed ice and fire dissipated instantly. Shan Qiuhen snorted. "It’s not entirely unreasonable for that kid to use this kind of Primordial Power conversion to execute some low-level Fire Attribute Combat Skills."

Hearing this, Dilaka just smiled. "After giving that explanation, do you even believe it yourself? Just look at your current Martial Artist Realm, and then look at Mu Chen’s."

"..." Shan Qiuhen was truly at a loss. What he had just demonstrated was nothing more than a Blinding Technique. Once a Martial Artist reached the Saint Realm, the boundaries between Elemental Power Attributes became less distinct. Besides their own innate Attribute, they could use the Law Power they sensed to convert their Primordial Power. Although the power of this converted Attribute Elemental Power was less than one percent as strong as their innate Attribute, the technique could be exceptionally useful when their primary attribute was ineffective.

But Mu Chen, down below, was only a First-Ring Martial Sect. Could he command this kind of Law Power to convert his own Elemental Power Attribute? The answer was, of course, no! Therefore, the only possible explanation for the ability Mu Chen had just displayed was that he was a Dual Attribute Martial Artist!

Shan Qiuhen gave a wry smile, looking at Mu Chen as if he were some kind of monster. ’A Dual Attribute Martial Artist... and with two completely opposing attributes at that. Who would believe it if you told them? Even complementary, stable, and gentle attributes like Water and Wood conflict within a Martial Artist’s Dantian as their realm grows. The final outcome is always either suppressing one of the attributes or death. How on earth does he manage to control both?!’

BANG!

On the stage below, Mu Chen clenched one hand. The five red-and-blue vortexes hovering before him instantly dissolved into wisps of Primordial Qi that drifted into the air, merging with the world of the Extreme Martial Continent.

"It seems your Ice and Fire Burst doesn’t have much of an effect on me."

Mu Chen’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them. His actions had been too shocking. Between that and the fact that Binglan and the others never imagined he could remain undefeated under the assault of their Combined Battle Skill, Yanyan had already stopped casting her Resist Fire Ring. She had even lowered her raised finger.

’A perfect chance!’

Mu Chen thought to himself, swiftly extending his arm and changing his fist into a finger-point. A scorching purple flame completely enveloped his arm, swirling all the way to the tip of his finger before stopping.

"Blazing Flame Finger!"

SWOOSH!

A searing wave of heat instantly shot out from Mu Chen’s finger, forming a spiral beam of fire that sped ferociously toward Yanyan.

"Not good!"

Feeling the immense power of the Blazing Flame Finger rushing toward her, Binglan snapped out of her shock. Just as she was about to fly forward to block the fiery beam, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

And from that figure, a fair hand wreathed in an icy-blue aura shot out, slamming onto her right shoulder.

BANG!

Binglan’s world spun. As if struck by a mountain range, she was sent flying off the stage with a WHOOSH and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Out of bounds!

At the same time, the beam of fire successfully struck Yanyan, launching her high into the air and far away from the four people remaining on the stage.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Without the Absolute Defense of the Resist Fire Ring, without Binglan’s leadership, the four women with Ice and Fire Attributes stood there dumbfounded, completely at a loss. Without even putting up a fight, they were sent off the stage by Mu Chen.

...

BOOM!

A huge explosion echoed from the sky. But surprisingly, the source of the sound was over a hundred meters away. At another point high in the air, Yanyan was holding her finger up, her face pale as she gasped for breath. Behind her, a pair of crimson Elemental Wings beat slowly. Clearly, this battle was not over yet.

’My Blazing Flame Finger was actually repelled. That Resist Fire Ring is truly formidable,’ Mu Chen concluded internally. ’But her Primordial Power is probably too drained to keep using that Secret Technique.’ He flew back, returning to his original spot in just a few steps.

Flapping her Elemental Wings, Yanyan landed back on the stage. She gave Mu Chen a complicated look, as if trying to burn the boy’s image into her mind. She wanted to keep fighting; she didn’t want to admit defeat. But for her, even casting the weakest Combat Skill was now an impossible luxury.

With a sigh, Yanyan lowered her finger and said to Elder Bai in the air, "I surrender."

"Hm?" Elder Bai grunted, as if he hadn’t heard her correctly.

Yanyan took a deep breath and shouted, "For this battle, I surrender!"

"She surrendered..."

Below the stage, Binglan bit her lip, her icy eyes glaring fiercely at Mu Chen. Of course, she didn’t blame Yanyan. Others might not know, but she understood Yanyan perfectly. Yanyan’s role on the team was specifically to allow them to complete the Ice and Fire Burst while their opponents were off guard. That was why she had cultivated the Resist Fire Ring, a technique with a hundred harms and only one benefit. As she was now, Yanyan had no Attack Techniques at all. Even if she persisted, it would only be a matter of time. Once her Primordial Power could no longer sustain the drain from Resist Fire Ring, the final outcome of the battle was already set in stone.

"The winner of this battle is the Xuanling Empire!"

"We won!"

In the High-class Empire viewing area, Little Tiger heard Elder Bai’s loud announcement and leaped up from his seat, creating a unique spectacle in the stands.

"Tch... It’s just one win against the Ice and Fire Empire. Is there really a need to be so happy?" Long Xiaotian sneered, his tone dripping with disdain. However, if anyone had been watching his eyes closely, they would have noticed a faint flicker of apprehension. The reason for his apprehension was none other than the purple flame Mu Chen had just released!

That was the fifth level in the hierarchy of Flame Levels!

"Tsk..." Jilal clicked his tongue and looked at Alice beside him. "Darling, perhaps this year’s Empire tournament won’t be as boring as it was five years ago."

"Mhm~" Alice narrowed her eyes, looking down at Mu Chen. "You might be right. A Dual Attribute Martial Artist... is it real, or just an illusion?"

"Is that even a question? Of course it’s an illusion. According to the Laws of this world, it’s absolutely impossible for a Martial Artist to have two attributes. Even if they did, they’d be dead for sure!"

"Is that so?"

"Isn’t it?"

"Mhm~"

"Hey, hey, are you looking down on me?"

"What do you think?"

"..."

"Sigh..." A teammate sitting next to Jilal watched the affectionate engaged couple. ’Who can I even complain to about this?’ he thought helplessly.

"Kekeke... Dual Attribute? Heh heh, forget Dual Attribute. Even if you were a Nine-Attribute Martial Artist, you’d still have to kneel before me!" In the Sacas viewing area, only one person still dared to remain seated. That person was Guo Zijie, the very same one who had tried to kill Mu Chen time and again!

But despite his arrogant words, he had unwittingly hit the nail on the head about one thing: Mu Chen really was a Nine-Attribute Martial Artist!

"Little Tiger, Heaven-Shaking Fist! Everyone, jump!"

"Bing’Er, move three steps left and use Profound Ice Break to the right! Shuangshuang, take one step back and attack forward at will!"

"Qing’Er, Water Source Shield!"

"..."

After overcoming the hurdle of the Ice and Fire Empire, the subsequent battles became exceptionally simple. With Mu Chen’s presence, the perfect coordination of the Ten Directions Kill Array and the Ice Extreme Demon Pupils allowed the Xuanling Empire to seize the initiative the moment a fight began, no matter the opponent. They would lure their enemies into the center of the formation and surround them! Under Mu Chen’s complete control, the battles gradually drew to a close...

"Shuangshuang! Nine All Burned!"

Following Mu Chen’s low shout, roaring flames suddenly erupted on Stage One. Streaks of blue fire shot up from beneath the stage like a volcanic eruption, sweeping the opposing Empire’s contestants into the Azure Sky. They burst into a brilliant firework display, marking a perfect end to the High-class Empire’s ranking tournament.

"The final winner of the High-class Empire ranking tournament is... the Xuanling Empire! They have successfully advanced to the rank of Upper High-level Empire and earned the right to participate in the finals for a spot in Holy Tomb Mountain!"

"..."

"The Xuanling Empire... they actually took the highest honor of the Upper High-level Empires! Ranked... at the top of the Four Great Dynasty Empires! They’ve earned the right to challenge the Four Emperor Peak Empires... to enter Holy Tomb Mountain..." Di Cang’s hands trembled uncontrollably as he spoke as if in a dream. His eyes were unfocused. It wasn’t just him; the students from Qin Garden and the Holy Hall sitting behind him were also staring blankly at the Demon Squad standing on Stage One.

Their black Institute Uniforms swayed in the wind. Six slender figures stood ramrod straight, heads held high, chests puffed out, faces filled with firm confidence. At this moment, they could have looked down arrogantly on all the other contestants in the Empire tournament, but they didn’t. Because Mu Chen had told them that this... was not their final destination! The final battles to come—that was their true goal!

They! Were going to take down the Four Peak Empires!!
