—------------------—
Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, Feng and Xu were locked in a fierce battle with the Flame Lion King, while the Long family brothers sped up, intending to capture them all in one fell swoop.
"The Heaven Dragon Horse has gained over a hundred years of cultivation, and if we defeat that fellow, it will be a complete victory." Long Chen was in high spirits, feeling that his gains were substantial… "Smack!" Long Zhan slapped his forehead and, for the first time ever, spoke softly to Mu Ye:
"Sect Master Mu, your Disciple is highly skilled. I hope you won't mind my son's impulsiveness. I will definitely discipline him more and make him apologize."
He hoped Long Chen would live up to expectations, but he also clearly recognized reality.
Feng Zaixing's combat power was Heaven-Defying; with just one spirit ring, he could contend with the Millennium Flame Lion King. His Qi and blood were vigorous, his speed astonishing, and he could unexpectedly stab the Flame Lion King a couple of times.
Such talent was unprecedented in his life; even Shrek's Genius in his youth was probably no more than this.
Mu Ye looked back and waved his hand, saying, "Long Family Head, you're too polite. What's a little scuffle between children? We all went through the same thing."
Long Zhan nodded glumly, a student-like confusion on his face, and asked in a seeking tone:
"I wonder if Sect Master Mu has any brilliant methods for cultivating Disciples? Your Disciple is so brave; I'd like to consult you."
The Xuanming Family Head's ears twitched subtly, looking as focused as if he were fighting a master of his own level.
Mu Ye narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "Explosive steps and evasive maneuvers are just simple techniques. The most important thing is actual combat; Zaixing often spars with his Senior Brother…"
Han Tianyi's gaze shifted slightly, and he thought to himself, "Zaixing's combat experience is very rich, but the core lies in his extremely strong mental force, which allows him to quickly capture the Flame Lion King's movements and react accordingly. His entire body is coordinated without a single flaw."
"With his innate talent and foundation, he is expected to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm within two years. He truly is a Genius unparalleled in our Sect for a thousand years…"
Feeling emotional, Han Tianyi couldn't help but recall his own Cultivation journey.
When did he achieve the Spirit Sea Realm? Nine or ten years old? Truly, the new generation surpasses the old.
Thinking this, he observed the Spirit Ascension Platform even more intently. Suddenly, his expression became strange:
"Zaixing has discovered someone trying to ambush him and is luring the Flame Lion King over."
"Oh?" "Alas…"
As Han Tianyi's words fell, the three masters displayed different expressions.
The Spirit Tool screen switched scenes. Feng Zaixing moved like a startled rabbit, his twin swords dancing like the wind, his sacred body's radiance contained. He fought the Millennium Flame Lion King with ease.
His sword light was like a ribbon as he shouted to his surroundings: "The Millennium Flame Lion King is here! Bystanders, retreat, or bear the consequences! Bear the consequences…"
Mu Ye laughed upon seeing this: "This is good. Others will either give up the ambush and leave, or if they still want to ambush, they might end up taking a hit for him. He has many tricks."
Long Zhan sighed in pain, closing his eyes without speaking.
The scene on the screen changed quickly. Soon, Feng Zaixing rolled on the ground and quickly retreated beyond the Flame Lion King's attack range.
Han Tianyi noticed a sly curve quietly forming at the corner of Feng Zaixing's mouth.
The Flame Lion King spewed furious flames, sweeping in all directions. Long Zhen, who had just arrived, was caught off guard and immediately activated his first spirit ring. Thunder roared, and Dragon claws flew.
"You Body Sect brat, you tricked us!"
Long Zhen clashed head-on with the Flame Lion King, then retreated with Long Chen, looking disheveled. He glared fiercely at Feng Zaixing, who was far away.
The enraged lioness had locked onto their Aura, as if convinced that he and his brother were allied with Feng Zaixing.
"I warned you already, so why are you blaming me? You wanted to ambush me, and I simply turned your scheme against you."
Feng Zaixing argued loudly, exerting force with his feet to flee far away, and called out from a distance:
"You attacked so fiercely, now deal with the lioness's wrath."
Upon hearing this, the Long family brothers' faces darkened completely. Long Zhen's lightning Dragon claw had torn five bloody gashes into the lioness, who roared in pain and charged forward furiously.
"Damn it, I'll tear this beast apart first, then go settle accounts with that stinking brat! He's infuriating me!"
Long Zhen shoved Long Chen away, roared, and his third spirit ring lit up. The Wrath of Thunder erupted, his pent-up frustration transforming into violent lightning, crackling and thundering towards the Flame Lion King.
The Flame Lion King cried out in pain, igniting the ferocity deep within its bones. It roared and activated its innate ability, as fire element spirit power surged into the ground, causing several towering pillars of fire, over a meter in diameter, to erupt.
"You're infuriating me! Thunderous Might! Kill…"
Long Zhen went berserk, activating his second spirit ring. The rampant serpentine lightning quickly wove into a giant lightning net, falling forward.
Outside, Mu Ye watched gleefully, shouting, "Look, Zaixing went to Xu Miao's side. It looks like he's about to use a Spirit Ability."
Spirit Ability, a common enough term, tugged at the nerves of the three masters. Their gazes collectively focused, not missing a single detail.
Xu Miao was in the thick of battle with the male lion, his Xuanming Shield flying like clouds, beating his opponent mercilessly, specifically targeting the lion's head and leaving it bruised and swollen.
Just as the two separated after a head-on clash, a clear and powerful voice reached Xu Miao's ear.
"Big Brother, my Spirit Ability counters this lion. Let me try."
"What?"
Xu Miao turned around, only to see fierce winds howling in the sky. A crimson flame, a hundred meters long like a fleeting rainbow, shot forth like lightning, bringing with it a sonic boom, and directly struck the male lion.
Before he could see clearly, the two-thousand-year-old Flame Lion King across from him let out a startled cry, the striped flames swirling around its body rapidly dissipating, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying.
"Boom!"
The fierce wind pierced through the male lion, making a sound like booming drums. Feng Zaixing appeared in the air, his first spirit ring flashing for the second time.
His body was wreathed in fire spirit power far more powerful than the Flame Lion King's. It merged with his Qi and blood, gathering in his right fist, which he unleashed with a thunderous strike. Brilliant firelight and Qi and blood coalesced behind him into a ten-foot-long, colorful flaming tiger, appearing almost corporeal.
"Extreme Fire, Instantaneous Void Break!"
"Roar! Ooh~ Ooh…"
When the Flame Lion King saw the flames on Feng Zaixing's fist, it reacted like a mouse seeing a cat. Its Spirit Beast king's Aura completely vanished, and it dared not resist, turning its head and running.
Extreme Fire suppressed all fire-attribute existences. Feng Zaixing hadn't even unleashed his divine force, yet it was enough to send the Flame Lion King fleeing in panic.
However, it didn't escape fast enough. Feng Zaixing hadn't told Xu Miao that his first Spirit Ability had integrated the "Dash" talent inherited by the Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's "Dash" could be used on the ground or in the air. Its speed was comparable to Teleportation, and its duration was extremely long. When its evil energy fully erupted, a linear attack was twice as powerful as normal, with both numerical and mechanical benefits.
"Boom!"
With a sound like a giant rock shattering, Xu Miao clearly saw the Flame Lion King, which had been entangled with him earlier, struck head-on in the face by Feng Zaixing. Its lion body flew horizontally to the ground, scraping out a deep mark.
The pitted blood clearly told everyone that this was no illusory mirage.
"This, this, this, am I dreaming?" Xu Miao looked stunned, his head buzzing incessantly.
Who exactly was the newcomer entering the Spirit Ascension Platform for the first time? Was the flame that absolutely suppressed the Lion King Feng Zaixing's Extreme Fire?
Also plunged into silence were the four masters outside; even Mu Ye hadn't expected Feng Zaixing's Spirit Ability to be so ferocious.
He stared at the battlefield, secretly astonished: "This Spirit Ability increases Zaixing's Qi and blood, Extreme Fire, and spirit power intensity to three times their original levels during the eruption. That tiger is formidable…"
Han Tianyi regained his composure and transmitted a message to Mu Ye with his powerful mental force, his words sharper than ever before:
"The future hope of our Sect rests entirely on him and Ruheng. You will send him to Bright Capital in two years, and I will go ahead to scout the path for you."
"If anything happens to him, you won't need to be Sect Master anymore. Think about how you'll apologize to the ancestral masters of the Sect after your death."
