119: The ambition of Mumen

His ability might not be to solidify flames.

Jia Gu Yi Yan sensed the surrounding air and looked at the Lava Giant Beast.

This guy's true ability is to directly solidify air!

If the Summoner's power hadn't increased, greatly enhancing the perception amplification effect, he probably wouldn't have noticed the change in the air.

Previously, when he entered the Lava World, he didn't use the flames wrapped around himself to imprison his body.

Nor was it due to arrogance.

It was because…

The flames at that time had no temperature!

This guy can solidify heated air!

Or it could be heated space.

The higher the temperature, the stronger he can solidify that space!

Therefore, what it appears to be is that he can solidify flames, turning them into the hardest shield!

His previous disregard for him during the battle with the giant beast wasn't due to arrogance either.

Arrogance was merely Mu Men Que Rong's facade.

He had witnessed the giant beast's ability and wanted to use the monster's power to rapidly heat the surrounding air with lava.

Countless scorching lava erupted from the ground, stirred by the giant beast's massive body.

The temperature of the air was continuously rising.

And this was Mu Men Que Rong's objective.

Chosen by Mu Men De Pei and transformed into a monster, this guy definitely has his extraordinary qualities.

He absolutely cannot be allowed to continue raising the surrounding temperature!

Whoosh!

Relying on extreme speed to dodge a rapidly incoming flame, Jia Gu Yi Yan took several consecutive steps, leaving behind several pierced afterimages.

“Light Armor!”

Click!

“Merge!”

Flames receded, and golden light shone.

The Light Armor enveloped his entire body.

“Foolish fellow, if it were the Fire Finch's resistance to flames, you might have lingered a bit longer.”

“But with Light Armor, you are doomed!”

Mu Men Que Rong seemed to have seen something interesting.

The surrounding flames exploded, surging towards Jia Gu Yi Yan.

The surrounding air rapidly heated up.

Jia Gu Yi Yan's body also began to stiffen and slow down, so he could only quickly draw a card.

“Torrential Rain E!”

Click!

“Compatibility 50%!”

Light Armor: Rainstorm Form!

The power of Torrential Rain E swept through his body. As Jia Gu Yi Yan activated it, water currents washed around his body!

The approaching flames were quickly extinguished, and the temperature rapidly dropped.

Light Shadow Sword F + Equipment Upgrade E!

Clack clack!!

“Light Shadow Gun E.”

Two cards were swiftly inserted into the Summoner by Jia Gu Yi Yan, and a platinum-colored long gun was immediately summoned, condensing in Jia Gu Yi Yan's palm.

“Using Torrential Rain E in this place is laughable. Take a good look around.”

Mu Men Que Rong looked at the charging Jia Gu Yi Yan and swung his arm.

Flames solidified in front of him again.

But Jia Gu Yi Yan gripped the long gun, the Mian Yu Technique circulated, and the power of water waves and Rainstorm poured into the gun tip.

Swish!

Water flowed over the solidified flames, and steam burst forth!

However…

The steam was then solidified in the air, wrapping and fixing Jia Gu Yi Yan's gun head.

The surrounding flames then wrapped around Jia Gu Yi Yan, trying to engulf him.

Water does indeed counter fire.

But Mu Men Que Rong's ability is to solidify high-temperature air!

And superheated steam can reach temperatures of 800℃!

At this moment, the collision of water and fire, and the bursting steam, actually benefited Mu Men Que Rong's control even more.

In other words, at this very moment, fire countered water.

“Damn it!”

Jia Gu Yi Yan circulated the Mian Yu Technique, his stamina rapidly depleting. He relied on Torrential Rain E to quickly lower the surrounding temperature and pulled out the solidified Light Shadow Gun.

Around Jia Gu Yi Yan's body, each attack unleashed a large amount of superheated steam.

Under Mu Men Que Rong's manipulation, the superheated steam rapidly solidified Jia Gu Yi Yan's body, making it impossible for Jia Gu Yi Yan to resist.

At this moment, Mu Men Que Rong hadn't even moved once, remaining suspended in the air.

As he said, in this high-temperature Lava World, his ability was invincible.

It was precisely this seemingly invincible ability that made Mu Men De Pei confident enough to let him wait on Volcano Island.

“The monkey show should be over by now.”

Mu Men Que Rong turned around and extended his hand towards the giant beast.

The immobilized giant beast struggled continuously, but such resistance had no effect whatsoever.

“Lava F, now… is mine.”

The Lava F embedded in the scales was easily extracted by Mu Men Que Rong, leaving only an empty groove on the giant beast's scales.

And as the Lava F was pulled from the giant beast's body, the scorching lava patterns on its body rapidly cooled.

Its lava-colored eyes also dimmed.

Its four feet, covered in flowing lava, also solidified, returning to a Jet Black.

“This is the natural type card, Lava F.”

“This immense power!”

Mu Men Que Rong held the Lava F, feeling the power within the card, utterly captivated.

As long as he obtained the power within this card, his power would greatly increase!

This flowing power of lava, combined with his ability to solidify high-temperature air, would allow him to enter a truly invincible realm!

No matter the environment, he would be invincible!

From a weak human to a monster, Mu Men Que Rong's ambition remained unfulfilled. During his human period, he was an excellent politician.

His ambition and ability drove him to constantly climb higher, pursuing power.

Until he met that person at the top, Mu Men De Pei.

From then on, his ambition surged uncontrollably.

Becoming a monster, becoming a cadre—even so, he still couldn't satisfy or fill his ambition.

He yearned for and honed his power.

He wanted to become a true monster, a Pure-blooded Monster, to shed the humiliating identity of a human.

As a politician, he considered other commoners to be merely lowly servants.

After becoming a monster, he considered all humans to be lowly livestock.

After becoming a trusted cadre of Mu Men De Pei, he considered other human-transformed monsters to be as lowly as fawning wild dogs.

He wanted to climb up!

To become a true Pure-blooded Monster, completely shedding the lowly origin of being human.

He was noble pure-blood.

He was the true master of this world, ruling over lowly humans and this planet.

He was even proud of his pure blood just by imagining it.

He even felt that glory.

He gripped the card, feeling its power, and closed his eyes in excitement.

Then, greed continued to rise in his heart!

He wanted more cards, he wanted more power!

He suddenly turned around, awaking from his intoxication.

“Sparrow, I want you…”

However, Jia Gu Yi Yan had already disappeared from his original spot. Mu Men Que Rong's pupils constricted as he quickly pinpointed Jia Gu Yi Yan's location.

Meanwhile, Jia Gu Yi Yan had already re-summoned the Fire Finch Armor and teleported behind him, riding the Fire Finch Moto E.

“Seeking death!”

He quickly manipulated flames, wrapping them around Jia Gu Yi Yan's body.

Jia Gu Yi Yan, however, circulated the Basic Breathing Technique, leaping off the motorcycle at extreme speed.

Mu Men Que Rong had expected Jia Gu Yi Yan to foolishly attack him.

However, he did not.

Jia Gu Yi Yan, at the extreme speed of the Fire Finch, rushed towards the giant beast's location.

Swish!

Flames wrapped around one of Jia Gu Yi Yan's legs, then his lower body!

The flames instantly solidified, trapping Jia Gu Yi Yan's body in mid-air!

At this moment, in Mu Men Que Rong's eyes, Jia Gu Yi Yan was already dead.

However, Jia Gu Yi Yan extended his arm and drew a card.

Torrential Rain E!

But he didn't insert the card into the Summoner; instead, he inserted it into…

The empty slot on the giant beast's scales where the card had been drawn.

Torrential Rain E fit perfectly into the gap in the scales.

The giant beast then reopened its eyes.
