111: The Six Seals of Fire! A Little Thought

Chapter 111: Zhen Fen Six Imprints — Control! A Little Trick

Almost the instant the elder left the arena, Soul Cang’s figure moved.

Swift as the wind, quick as lightning.

A dull sonic boom echoed in the arena as Soul Cang appeared before Soul Fury, clenching his right fist and aiming for his face.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a dozen blows, their hands blurring into afterimages, each contact emitting a deep, resonant sound.

Soul Fury looked relaxed, a faint smile playing on his lips: “Soul Cang, you struck first, which means you’re not confident you can beat me, right?”

Soul Cang didn’t reply, just kept throwing punches.

Seeing this, Soul Fury’s triumphant smile grew wider. While blocking, he said, “Even if you don’t answer, I’m sure that’s what you’re thinking. It’s a good thought, but the gap between us is too wide. Even a sneak attack won’t help you.”

Soul Cang remained silent, merely accelerating the speed of his punches.

…

“The northwest of the Dou Qi Continent still can’t compare to other places, let alone the Gama Empire. That area is too comfortable. Soul Cang has been there for three years, and now when he fights, he’s still like a child,” Soul Origin Life couldn’t help but comment.

In the arena, Soul Fury seemed to be at a disadvantage, retreating steadily under Soul Cang’s punches.

However, this was merely an illusion; Soul Fury could turn the tide whenever he wished.

Soul Origin Life saw that Soul Fury was just toying with Soul Cang, so he joined in the mockery.

In fact, ninety-nine percent of the people present, including Yun Yun, could see how crude Soul Cang’s fighting style was.

But Soul Origin Life still brought it up, entirely because of one person.

When Soul Origin Life saw Soul Void Son’s pained expression, as if he had swallowed a fly, his smile grew wider.

The surrounding elders echoed a few words of agreement.

Soul Void Son couldn’t take it anymore and snapped, “What's so great about fighting? Soul Cang is an Eighth-grade Alchemist, that’s the ability I value in him. Some people don’t understand and just keep talking.”

“Is that so?” Soul Origin Life deliberately took over the conversation, smiling at those around him, “How come I heard that a certain elder proposed that Soul Cang defeat Soul Fury before helping him apply for a soul crystal?”

Soul Void Son tightly clenched his fists and said nothing.

Regarding the soul crystal, it was Soul Cang himself who proposed it, but he knew that explaining now was useless.

Who would believe that Soul Cang would actively make such a request?

…

In the arena.

“Had enough fun punching? It’s my turn now.” With his arms crossed above his head, Soul Fury parried Soul Cang’s punch, his eyes containing a cold sneer as he met Soul Cang’s gaze.

Soul Fury pushed his hands upwards, an terrifying force erupting, flinging Soul Cang’s arm away. He immediately followed up with a kick towards Soul Cang.

This kick seemed to weigh a thousand jun, giving a sense of great effort when lifted.

“Foot Stomping Heaven and Earth!”

Soul Fury let out a low roar, and an immense black mist energy surged from the void, transforming into ropes that quickly wrapped around his raised leg.

Wherever his leg passed, the void seemed unable to bear the weight, cracks appearing and collapsing.

…

“Soul Void Son, this move is a High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique that I collected many years ago. One kick is enough to shatter the void. Can your disciple block it?” Soul Origin Life asked cheerfully.

Soul Void Son said nothing.

How could he know if Soul Cang was confident?

Because from beginning to end, he had never given Soul Cang anything substantial.

Thinking of this, a hint of regret couldn’t help but appear in Soul Void Son’s eyes.

If he had known that Soul Cang would be so flamboyant at the conference, he should have given him two Dou Techniques to practice back then, so he wouldn’t be so embarrassing.

…

Facing Soul Fury’s incoming kick, the calm expression on Soul Cang’s face did not change. As if oblivious to the collapsing void around him, he formed hand seals with such speed that only afterimages remained.

Finally, when Soul Fury’s kick was less than a meter away from Soul Cang, Soul Cang pushed the formed seal forward.

Buzz!

At this instant, the entire square hummed, a sound caused by the energy being drawn in.

Countless fire-attribute energies floated out from the void, the ground, and even some elders present, as well as the Void Swallowing Flame itself, converging before Soul Cang.

Zhen Fen Six Imprints —

Control!

Control meant dominion; with one imprint, all fires submitted, accepting command.

Flames condensed into a red, crystalline shield, blocking between Soul Fury and Soul Cang. As the kick landed on the shield, the previously collapsing void returned to normal.

Crack, crack, crack—

Soul Fury’s six-star Dou Zun Dou Qi energy erupted, and the shield emitted a dense cracking sound. It didn’t last long before shattering.

However, this amount of time was already enough for Soul Cang to dodge.

Soul Fury shook his leg: “A bit interesting. You’re good with fire, but unfortunately, it has no power.”

However, no matter what Soul Fury said, Soul Cang had no intention of responding.

For a moment, even though Soul Fury had the greatest advantage, he became the most awkward person.

Soul Cliff stood up and shouted, “Soul Fury, you trash! A six-star fighting a two-star, do you really need to take this long?”

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

As soon as his words fell, many echoing laughs resounded in that area, sounding somewhat harsh to Soul Fury’s ears.

Soul Fury glanced in their direction, intending to retort, when he suddenly felt a wave of heat approaching.

“Bastard!” Realizing that Soul Cang had launched another attack while he wasn’t paying attention, Soul Fury cursed under his breath and immediately dodged.

Due to Soul Cang’s sudden move, Soul Fury’s dodge was somewhat clumsy.

Soul Cliff immediately let out a chorus of boos.

“Damn it!!” Soul Fury cursed inwardly, a faint flicker of fire in his eyes. After adjusting himself, he immediately launched a torrential offensive towards Soul Cang.

…

“Just now?” Originally, Soul Emperor didn’t have much interest in their fight, but just now, a wisp of the Void Swallowing Flame’s fire was actually “borrowed” by Soul Cang.

The Void Swallowing Flame was a bit dazed. Hearing Soul Emperor’s question, he frowned and thought for a moment: “It felt like some kind of secret technique. I wasn’t paying attention just now, but next time he tries to borrow it, it will be impossible.”

A glint flashed in Soul Emperor’s eyes: “A secret technique that can borrow fire from you, the second-ranked Heavenly Flame, is indeed quite extraordinary.”

The Void Swallowing Flame regained his indifferent expression: “I was indeed a bit careless just now. Also, I guess this secret technique might be related to the Alchemist inheritance he obtained back then.”

Saying that, the Void Swallowing Flame paused, then turned to look at Soul Emperor, “You know, the success and quality of an Alchemist’s pills are also crucial for controlling flames.”

“That’s true… but I was just sighing. Why are you so nervous?” Soul Emperor said indifferently, a hint of regret secretly flashing in his eyes.

…

In the arena.

Soul Cang was fully focused on defending against Soul Fury’s offensive and was unaware of the conversation between Soul Emperor and the Void Swallowing Flame.

However, that wasn’t important; he only needed to capture Soul Emperor’s attention.

If the timing hadn’t been unsuitable, Soul Cang could have actually borrowed more of the Void Swallowing Flame to use just now.

“You still dare to be distracted? You’re going too far!” Soul Fury noticed Soul Cang’s movements slow by a fraction, and his anger surged.

He had always placed himself in the position of a tiger, seeing Soul Cang as a small rabbit.

But now he realized that he seemed to be the one being played with!

Soul Fury was furious. Dou Qi energy surged from his body, and he slammed a heavy punch towards Soul Cang.

Boom!

A figure flew backward. Soul Cang retreated over ten meters before the force from Soul Fury’s hand dissipated, allowing him to steady himself.

“Aren’t you good at playing with fire? Come on, where are the moves you used against Soul Chen before? Use them!” Soul Fury pointed at Soul Cang with one hand and beckoned with his finger.

“It’s almost time…” Soul Cang looked at the somewhat irrational Soul Fury, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Since the battle began, he had never responded to Soul Fury, and even this time, Soul Fury thought he wouldn’t answer.

However, Soul Cang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke: “Then here I come!”

Soul Cang’s lips peeled back, revealing blood-stained teeth, and a somewhat crazed smile appeared on his face.
