Battle Through the Heavens: Top Talent

Chapter 27: Victory!

A duel between spears, one of ice and one of fire, the forces of cold and heat intertwining in the air.

Xu Feng brandished his ice spear, accompanied by a chilling current, leading thousands of layers of frost as he attacked Xiao Yun directly.

A flash of fire appeared in Xiao Yun's eyes, and his figure shifted. He swept his crimson spear horizontally, the red light rolling and the flames dancing. The purple crystal lion fire wrapped around the tip of the spear, and the fierce flames seemed to melt everything around it!

The tips of their spears intertwined, like dragons and snakes entwining, echoing each other from afar. Their spears transformed into streaks of light, piercing towards each other and emitting a sharp force that seemed capable of tearing through the air.

Boom!

What did this kid eat to grow up so strong!

As the spears clashed repeatedly, Xu Feng felt his hands go numb. If they continued clashing like this, he estimated he wouldn't even be able to hold the spear anymore. Just as their spears clashed once more, Xu Feng used the power from the Crimson Blood Spear to shoot backward, temporarily distancing himself from Xiao Yun.

Seeing Xu Feng being forced back by Xiao Yun with a single shot, some of the older students on the hillside couldn't help but look grim.

Because they knew in their hearts that Xiao Yun's aura was completely different from before. If it were them, they probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single shot from Xiao Yun.

"I didn't expect that this kid held back when he fought us before. Even Xu Feng, who has the strength of a Dou Ling, was at a disadvantage against him." Some of the older students couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Even some of the senior students from the inner courtyard who came to watch realized after witnessing Xiao Yun's strength that it wasn't that the senior students participating in this Fire Energy Hunting Competition were too weak, but that the freshmen were too abnormal, and a monstrous talent had emerged who could hold his own against a Dou Ling expert with his Great Dou Master cultivation!

While the thoughts raced through the minds of everyone on the hillside, the battle in the open area continued.

"Kid, let's see how you handle this move!" Xu Feng retreated, leaving a long trail on the ground.

Stabilizing his backward stance, Xu Feng gripped the spear tightly. His body trembled slightly as he channeled his crystalline blue, icy battle qi into the spear, which then surged forth.

The immense icy energy, like a volcanic eruption, churned endlessly in mid-air. After a moment, it condensed into a giant ice dragon that was five or six zhang tall. The dragon roared silently towards the sky, and the cold air seeped out, freezing the surrounding ground into ice.

After roaring, the ice dragon, under Xu Feng's control, charged towards Xiao Yun with terrifying power.

Gazing at the colossal ice dragon hovering in mid-air, the senior students watching exclaimed in surprise, "A high-level Xuan-rank combat skill, Ice Sea Xuan Dragon!"

"Damn it, Xu Feng has really lost his temper. He's even used the Ice Sea Mystic Dragon he got from the library back then. That kid's in for a rough time."

Lin Dong stood on the hillside, shaking his head in surprise. He then cast a sympathetic glance at Xiao Yun in the open space, as if Xiao Yun was destined to fail.

In the arena, the ice dragon descended from the sky, swooping down towards Xiao Yun, the powerful wind pressure it generated causing his clothes to rustle loudly.

"Good!" Feeling the powerful energy above his head, Xiao Yun not only did not dodge, but instead revealed a delighted smile.

"Blazing Flame Fist!" The amethyst lion fire covered Xiao Yun's entire body. Guided by his fiery red battle qi, it all gathered at the tip of the spear and then burst out, condensing into a giant purple-red flame fist that struck the ice dragon from below.

boom!

The firelight and the cold light intertwined, as if performing a symphony of heat and cold. Ripples of energy spread outwards from the point of convergence. The collision of ice and fire produced a large amount of white mist, which enveloped Xiao Yun and his companion.

"Who won?" This question arose in the minds of the onlookers, but unfortunately, shrouded in white fog, they had no idea what was happening in the open area.

call!

The ice dragon and the fire fist eventually canceled each other out. The energy contained in the two formed an energy storm at the point of intersection, which, with its powerful wind pressure, dispersed the white mist.

"Now, let's begin round two!"

The moment the white mist dissipated, Xiao Yun transformed into a streak of fiery red light, lunging forward and engaging Xu Feng in battle once more. However, this time, it was no longer a simple contest of strength. The Purple Crystal Lion Flame clung to the Crimson Blood Spear, seizing every opportunity to scorch Xu Feng's body, constantly burning the battle qi armor on his skin.

"Damn it, what kind of flame is this?"

A furious roar erupted in Xu Feng's mind; he was practically bursting with rage. Xiao Yun's spear was filled with eerie purple flames, its temperature extremely high. Xu Feng needed to expend even more of his icy battle qi into the spear to resist it. Moreover, these flames were incredibly troublesome; if one were to be touched by them without timely extinguishing, they would burn a hole in his battle qi armor. Even if extinguished, it would still require a significant amount of battle qi.

"Hahaha, Xu Feng, I told you to be careful, now you can understand how I felt back then." On the hillside, Lin Dong, who was watching the battle, laughed heartily. He had a deep memory of Xiao Yun's purple flames. He had been tormented by them before. Now, seeing Xu Feng, who was not on good terms with him, also being burned by the purple flames, he naturally felt much better and more at peace.

"what!"

Another accident occurred, and the Amethyst Lion Flame stained Xu Feng's body. However, this time he had no more icy battle qi to extinguish it. Under Xiao Yun's control, the flames quickly burned a large hole in the snow-white battle qi armor.

With a flash, Xu Feng used his movement technique to get away from Xiao Yun. The purple flames that were originally attached to his body also disappeared with a whoosh because they were no longer under Xiao Yun's control.

Xu Feng looked down at the battle qi armor. Through the holes in it, he could clearly see that his robes were burned and his originally snow-white skin was scalded red by the high temperature.

Thankfully, this flame doesn't last long, otherwise my body would have been burned through. But such a flame must consume a lot of battle qi. I, a mere Dou Ling, am almost out of battle qi. Let's see how much battle qi you, a Great Dou Shi, have left.

Thinking this to himself, Xu Feng let out a light breath, looked up at Xiao Yun, and saw his pale face due to excessive exertion. He couldn't help but sneer, but the next second, Xu Feng's smile vanished.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yun produced a jade bottle containing pills. He quickly poured out several pills and swallowed them in front of Xu Feng.

His face, which had been pale from excessive exertion, quickly regained its color, and a powerful aura surged forth from Xiao Yun's body once again.

Although it wasn't as powerful as the beginning, it still made Xu Feng's lips twitch.

"Damn it, having this weird purple flame is one thing, but why are they treating pills like candy? How am I supposed to fight like this?" Even with his cold personality, Xu Feng couldn't help but swear.

"I'm not fighting anymore. My fighting spirit is completely depleted, unlike you, who still has pills to restore your fighting spirit." Xu Feng sighed and said helplessly.

Xu Feng's helpless voice lingered on the rocky ground. The onlookers on the hillside were all in disbelief, never expecting that Xiao Yun, with only the cultivation of a Great Dou Master, could defeat a genuine Dou Ling expert in a one-on-one battle.
