Douluo Continent: You become gods, I become immortals

Chapter 46 The Power of the Blazing Fire!

Meanwhile, on the arena, Yuheng could no longer hide the shock in his eyes.

He stared intently at Li Yingxue before him, his heart churning with turmoil.

The close-quarters combat they had just engaged in had left this genius disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan feeling a suffocating sense of oppression.

[How can this girl be so strong? She's evenly matched with me in close combat!]

Yuheng was horrified.

It should be noted that he had already used a family secret technique, covering his arms and legs with a layer of azure electric scales. This was a "dragon transformation" state in which the characteristics of his martial soul were integrated into his limbs, making his defense and strength far exceed his normal state.

However, the mysterious masked girl opposite him managed to withstand his signature fighting style with just her bare hands!

When did such a monstrous genius appear out there?

Li Yingxue also realized that something was wrong at this time.

The opponent's dragon form has extremely strong defense, and ordinary methods of application seem unlikely to have a decisive killing effect.

If this drags on any longer, it will be extremely detrimental to us.

"Looks like I'll have to come up with something truly impressive!"

Li Yingxue snorted coldly, and the flames around her, which were originally blue with gold, suddenly changed. The blue flames instantly turned into a purer and more violent bright red, and at the very core of the flames, a dazzling golden light faintly shone through.

Even the Azure Flame Swallow Martial Soul behind her emitted a clear and melodious cry, its flames changing color, and her aura rose steadily, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

"Flaming Claws!"

Li Yingxue formed her hands into claws, and the eerie red flames coiled around her as if they were alive.

The next moment, she shot out, her five fingers like hooks, stabbing straight at Yuheng's chest.

"What the hell is this flame!" Yuheng cursed under his breath, alarm bells ringing in his mind.

He dared not be careless, crossing his arms to protect his chest, his dragon scales covered in blue lightning, attempting to withstand the attack head-on.

However, the moment their claws made contact, a strange thing happened!

The flames, which originally appeared to be solid, spread like mercury across the ground, ignoring the dragon scales protecting his body and penetrating directly into him!

Immediately afterwards, a piercing burning pain came from all over his body. The flames not only raged in his meridians, but even the depths of his soul felt intensely hot, as if they were going to burn his consciousness to ashes.

[Oh no! This flame is strange; it can directly burn the soul!]

The thought flashed through Yuheng's mind like lightning, and he instantly realized that he had kicked a hornet's nest.

If we continue this entanglement, we might really be doomed here today.

"Hmph, I've already shown my cards, how could I let you get away so easily!" Li Yingxue seemed to see through his intentions, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

The ensuing battle reached a fever pitch.

Because Yuheng was wary of the strange soul fire, his attacks became more aggressive and unrestrained. He aimed for a swift victory with each strike, then used the momentum to escape, avoiding any physical contact with Li Yingxue in an attempt to create distance.

But Li Yingxue met her match head-on, using all her skills in close combat.

Her figure was like a ghost, with red flames following her like a shadow. With each contact, a portion of the flames would seep into Yuheng's body.

As time went by, Yuheng's condition visibly deteriorated. The flames within his body accumulated more and more, and the originally bright blue lightning began to dim. His breathing also became rapid and scalding.

Finally, after exerting all his strength to force Li Yingxue back, Yuheng could no longer hold on. He knelt on one knee, his face flushed and sweat pouring down his face.

"I give up!" He practically squeezed those three words out through gritted teeth.

Li Yingxue withdrew her attack, giving him a cold glance. Her eyes held no triumph, only a condescending indifference.

Without hesitation, she turned around and walked straight off the stage.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yuheng staggered back to his own luxurious private room.

The moment he entered the room, the energy he had been holding onto vanished instantly. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Yuheng!"

"Heng-ge!"

Yu Yuanzhen and his entourage in the private room were shocked and rushed over to help him up.

At this point, Yuheng had fallen into a coma, and his body temperature was alarmingly high.

Yu Yuanzhen's expression was solemn. He picked up Yu Heng and placed him on the couch. Without saying a word, his powerful soul force instantly entered Yu Heng's body.

"What domineering flames!" Yu Yuanzhen frowned, deeply shocked.

As soon as his soul power entered, he encountered a frenzied backlash from that strange red flame.

The flames were not only extremely hot, but also incredibly stubborn, able to burn his soul along with his soul power. Their strength was comparable to the lightning power within his soul power.

"Get back, all of you!" Yu Yuanzhen shouted in a deep voice, placing his hands on Yuheng's dantian and frantically circulating his soul power to drive away the flames.

"I'll go and fetch a high-level healing-type Soul Master!"

Two hours later, a healing-type soul master, covered in sweat and pale-faced, finally finished his treatment.

He shakily wiped the sweat from his brow and said weakly, "Young Master Yu, your companion's internal burns have been almost completely healed, and his external wounds have also closed. However—"

He paused, glancing at Yu Yuanzhen with lingering fear: "The flames that burned him were far too strange and domineering. If you hadn't intervened in time to help channel them, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save him on my own."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen finally felt relieved. He casually tossed out a heavy bag of gold soul coins and said in a calm tone, "Thank you, Master. This is the consultation fee."

The Soul Master hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, your subordinates have already paid the consultation fee, this—"

"That was given to you by him, this is given to you by me." Yu Yuanzhen interrupted him, his attitude leaving no room for argument.

"Take this; consider it my way of thanking you for your extra effort."

Seeing this, the Soul Master no longer refused, put on a smile, and respectfully accepted the gold soul coins.

In this world, money can make the devil turn the millstone, let alone such a good thing as giving money away. Only a fool would refuse it.

After the Soul Master was dismissed, the private room fell silent once again.

Yu Yuanzhen sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Yu Heng's pale face, and fell into deep thought.

The feeling of my soul being burned while I was expelling the flames was truly bizarre.

He recalled the details of the soul force contact just now, and a chill ran down his spine.

The flames could burn not only the physical body but also the soul power, and even he felt a sense of dread.

The outside world is far more complex than I imagined; I've only been out for a short time and I've already encountered a hidden genius.

Who exactly is that masked girl?

A complex light flickered in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, a mixture of anger, apprehension, and the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent.
