Chapter 337

"Alas, it's not mature enough. Once it is completely perfected, there are not many people below the Spirit Mirror realm who can resist the attack of the Nine Nether Underworld Flame."

"The flame true body is highlighted. Let me see to what extent you have mastered this flame true body."

After speaking, he took the Azure Dragon Bright Moon Spear and killed Wan Wan Wan Shitong, treating him seriously. Wan Wan Wan Shitong didn't stay idle either, holding a long sword to block. The long face itself possessed the Nine Nether Underworld Flame, which caused Chen Ang not to dare to take it hard.

Wan Wan Wan Shitong's attack, and the flame clone behind him were also constantly harassing Chen Ang. After reacting, Chen Ang went behind the flame clone and solved the flame clone with one spear.

It directly made Wan Wan Wan Shitong vomit blood. He hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's going on with you? Could it be that this flame clone still has an impact?"

"Boss, it's nothing. I just mastered it, it's not that perfect. You will see that I will work harder in the future to make it a perfect cultivation method. The plasticity of this flame clone is very strong. I believe it can be cultivated into a divine skill in the future."

381: Mysterious Li Lao

"Let's go to the library and stroll around. You can extract part of the power of the Nine Nether Underworld Flame and turn it into a flame clone, which shows that your talent is very strong."

"In the library, we can learn from the experience of our predecessors, maybe we can make the flame clone exist for a longer time. It will be much more convenient when fighting."

Wan Wan Wan Shitong listened to Chen Ang's opinion, and the two came to the library for relevant investigation. Li Lao at the door saw the two and smiled, "What is the matter with you two coming to the library of Wuqu Academy today?"

"Li Lao, we came here today mainly to borrow some fire-type cultivation methods from the library to use. My friend possesses the Nine Nether Underworld Flame and just happened to comprehend a new skill some time ago."

"It's not perfect, and I want to get inspiration in the library. Our Wuqu Academy has existed for so long, there must be many precious cultivation methods, right? Take one or two for us to absorb and learn from."

"You brat, you can talk. The third floor on the right is some fire-type cultivation methods, especially the Flame Formula on the far right, which can let him find a way to improve his control and cohesion of flames."

"I understand the situation of the flame clone. Through the Flame Formula, flame control can reach the extreme. In this way, even if you brat really have some problems, you can solve them easily."

"Good, since you said so, I will definitely find a way to try it. I just don't know if it will work."

Li Lao smiled, "The Flame Formula is extremely harsh on people. Your flame clone is just right. The original existence time is not long. The Flame Formula can solve the problem. Of course, whether to listen or not depends on your opinion."

"This Flame Formula is not cheap. Three days for eighty snow crystals, which can be considered a relatively powerful cultivation method."

"The price is a bit expensive. How about this, fifty snow crystals for three days. This is the lowest price I can give you. If you really think it's not good, I have no way."

Wan Wan Wan Shitong couldn't help but say, "Li Lao, isn't this a bit too black-hearted? Fifty

"This deal is clearly a bit of a loss. Trading the cries of a ninth-rank demonic beast for just one Snow Crystal is really not worth it."

"Rest assured, these are genuine treasures. Usually, it's thirty Snow Crystals a day, but I'll give you three days for fifty. That's me showing you respect, so how could you think of me that way, kid?"

"Rest assured, this cultivation technique is absolutely worth the price. You won't be at a loss. Fifty Snow Crystals for three days; if you're not satisfied, I'll refund half."

The two of them took the Flame Art. Chen Ang mainly wanted to find a very powerful leg technique; his own offensive strength was already formidable, and having a leg technique would help him escape in danger while also serving as a means of attack.

Chen Ang asked, "Li Lao, I want to find a leg technique. Do you have any recommendations?"

"What's wrong with you, kid? You should know that leg techniques aren't easy to find. Looking at you, there are quite a few calluses on your hands; you must be a master of the spear. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to suddenly start practicing a leg technique?"

"Hey, Li Lao, isn't it because I'm worried about danger? After practicing a leg technique, if my body's weapon is taken away, I can rely on my legs to deliver a fatal blow. Who would expect a spear user to be good at leg techniques? You see my point, right?"

"You kid are truly devious, but I like it. This 'Cloud-Treading Art' can be considered the pinnacle of leg techniques. Once mastered, you can not only traverse a thousand miles without feeling fatigue, but it also possesses incredibly powerful lethality."

"The only drawback is that it's a semi-complete version. As for where the full version is, I don't know. Ten Snow Crystals for the permanent half-technique, how about it?"

Chen Ang couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Are you trying to trick me? I find it hard to believe you'd give me such good resources."

"You brat, those who achieve great things don't fuss over trifles. I'll say it here today: the Cloud-Treading Art is your best choice. Besides, buying a leg technique for ten Snow Crystals is definitely not a loss."

"This first half is enough for you to cultivate to the Sovereign Realm. As for where the second half is, that depends on your luck, kid."

Hearing this, Chen Ang smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. Li Lao, we'll take these two techniques. I'd like to ask if the permanent rights for this Flame Art are always in Snow Crystals."

"I have to say, eight hundred Snow Crystals—if you have that kind of strength, you can obtain the permanent rights."

Chen Ang didn't even think about it and left immediately. The two of them took the Cloud-Treading Art and the Flame Art back to the training room and observed them carefully. This Cloud-Treading Art was indeed powerful.

Cultivating it to completion could not only be used for escaping but also for using one's legs to... Chen Ang was so mentally exhausted he couldn't help but say, "This Cloud-Treading Art really wants to force me to my death; it doesn't give me a single chance."

"Just for this Cloud-Treading Art, I have to tie such heavy cold iron to my legs every day. Can my legs even withstand it?"

One must know that the cold iron weighs a thousand catties; the weight of even a small piece is astonishing. With two pieces that large, he felt like he wouldn't survive.

But then he thought, it was for cultivating the Cloud-Treading Art, so he gritted his teeth and persisted. After several days of special training, he finally achieved the initial stage of the Cloud-Treading Art, though it still felt somewhat unrefined.

When he came out, Wan Wan Wan Shitong had also just finished his cultivation. "Boss, who created this Flame Art? I feel fifty Snow Crystals is not a loss at all. Three days is enough for me to memorize the contents of the Flame Art."

"Look at my Flame Clone again. This time, after the baptism of the Flame Art, my Flame Clone has undergone even more powerful changes. Li Lao has a discerning eye; he could see the compatibility between this technique and my Flame Clone at a glance. That was something I didn't expect."

"Previously, the Flame Clone only had a faint outline, but now it has clearly begun to have substantial changes. It seems the Flame Art is indeed very strong in controlling fire. How about it, Boss? How is your Cloud-Treading Art going?"

"Can't you see I'm still tied up with cold iron? The first two days were simply worse than death for me. My legs had absolutely no explosive power, and even walking was extremely difficult."

"As a result of these few days of exercise, it's gotten much better, but I'm still not quite used to it. Why don't you try the feeling of having cold iron tied to your legs, kid?"

Wan Wan Wan Shitong laughed and said, "Forget it, I won't waste this training time. I believe you won't have any problems. If you keep working this hard, you'll definitely master it soon."

"Cultivate well. Your Flame Clone definitely has great utility. After continuous strengthening by the Flame Art, it has begun to undergo a transformation. There will absolutely be no problem in training it to the perfect realm."

"Just think, a Flame Clone possessing the Nine Nether Underworld Flame—how much of a boost can it give you? It's just in the initial stage, so there are bound to be some flaws, but it will become increasingly powerful. Your talent is very formidable."

382: Powerful Snow

Just after Chen Ang left, Li Lao followed him out of the Scripture Pavilion and went to the Acting Acting Dean's room to tell the Acting Acting Dean everything about the matter.

The Acting Acting Dean smiled and said, "Li Lao, you don't need to worry about them. I believe the children have their own choices. You're quite something, earning Snow Crystals so easily. Aren't you afraid the children will be angry?"

Li Lao couldn't help but laugh, "Acting Acting Dean, you can't say that. Everything I do is for the children's own good. They should know the situation with the Flame Art in their hearts; fifty Snow Crystals is a deal that is absolutely stable and profitable."

"These aren't the main points. Recently, the seal of the Meteor World has been loosening more and more. If I'm not mistaken, it will soon be breached. What do you say we should do then?"

Hearing this, the Acting Acting Dean couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Soldiers come, block them; water comes, cover it with earth. Since this situation has already occurred, we must face it slowly and find a way to handle it."

"I don't believe they really dare to be so bold. The world core is not that weak. If they really push me to the limit, at worst, the Meteor World will perish together with their Demon Race."

"Hey, Acting Acting Dean, stop talking nonsense. Send people to guard the Scripture Pavilion. I'll go to the Sin Prison to see what the situation is. If the seal is really loosening, I'll find a way to reinforce it."

"The Demon Race's strength is too great; relying on us alone is completely impossible. Someone must suppress them. Having recuperated in the Wuqu Academy for so many years, it's time to exert my remaining heat. Rest assured, with me here, there won't be any problems."

"That's good, old friend. You go first. If there's really any situation, remember to report to me in time. Don't try to resist it alone."

After Li Lao left, the Acting Acting Dean became worried. The constant loosening of the seal on the Sin Prison was a matter of great concern, but looking at the current situation, there was indeed no other way.

I really don't know when these little guys will grow up. Their eccentric temperaments and their refusal to admit defeat are exactly the state that students of the Wuqu Academy should have.

Wan Wan Wan Shitong returned to his room and used his Flame Clone, discovering that it had certain limitations. His mental power was not mature enough; improving his mental power would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort.

Early the next morning, Wan Wan Wan Shitong came to find Chen Ang and said with a smile, "Boss, do you have time? Come with me on a trip. The Purple Abyss Fruit is about to ripen, and I need your help."

Hearing this, Chen Ang couldn't help but ask, "What is that Purple Abyss Fruit? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of the Purple Abyss Fruit. It's a good treasure for improving mental power. After I learned the Flame Clone this time, I found that the requirements for mental power are extremely strict. If I really want to undergo a transformation, I must improve my mental power."

The two of them arrived at a mountain not far from the Wuqu Academy and saw the Purple Abyss Fruit. When their hands touched the fruit, they were suddenly attacked, catching them both off guard.

Every ice-attribute attack was extremely powerful. Chen Ang had a feeling that if he were to be hit by this icy thing, it would be a dead end; the strength was too terrifying.

He spoke directly, "Who exactly are you, and why do you want our lives?"

The masked woman came out and snorted coldly, "Hand over the Purple Abyss Fruit, and I'll spare your lives."

Chen Ang took out his weapon, but just as he was about to go up, he was stopped by Wan Wan Wan Shitong. "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Xue. I really don't know why Ms. Xue would come to the territory of the Wuqu Academy and still want to obtain the Purple Abyss Fruit. Isn't that a bit too arrogant? Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"

"Do you think anyone in the entire Wuqu Academy can defeat me in a one-on-one fight? This kind of resistance is meaningless and irrational. Why bother?"

Hearing this, Chen Ang stood out and said, "Aren't you looking down on people a bit too much? I want to have a fight with you and see how strong you are."

"You? Forget it. If you really fight me like this, you have absolutely no chance of winning. Why ask for trouble?"

"Don't underestimate me. I even took down Kuang Ying; I could defeat him despite the gap, so I believe I can defeat you too."

Xue couldn't help but laugh, "Kuang Ying? That kid who had no strength at all and was killed by me in one move? I heard he's third on the Hidden Dragon List. Do you actually believe in that kind of list?"

"In the entire Meteor World, there are many existences stronger than me. The Great Era is coming, and the hidden geniuses of various major families are emerging one after another. Whether Kuang Ying can even make it onto the Hidden Dragon List in a year is another matter."

Lin Ye didn't believe it at all and rushed directly toward Xue. Xue didn't hesitate and used a light strike to temporarily freeze Lin Ye's legs, leaving him unable to move.

"You kid are truly strange. I already told you I don't want too much conflict. My goal today is only one: leave the Purple Abyss Fruit, and I'll let you leave."

"My Wuqu Academy is not something that a top-ranked person on the Spirit Realm Hidden Dragon List can bully. When my strength improves after a while, I will definitely defeat you with my own hands."

"Fine. Seeing that your legs are restrained, if it weren't for the sake of the Wuqu Academy, I would have killed you. I don't think the Wuqu Academy would dare to say much about the death of a peer."

Chen Ang finally understood that the gap between him and Xue was huge. Just now, he had been blinded by anger. Watching Xue leave with the Purple Abyss Fruit, Wan Wan Wan Shitong couldn't stop her either.

"Hey, Boss, I'll first find a way to melt the ice. There should be other places with Purple Abyss Fruit, so don't worry."

He took out the Nine Nether Underworld Flame and began to melt the ice. I have to say, Xue's ice-control ability was indeed formidable. It took a long time for his own Nine Nether Underworld Flame to melt the ice, which made him feel a lingering fear.

He couldn't help but say, "Boss, it's fortunate that Xue didn't have the intent to kill. If Xue had really attacked, we would have truly died without a burial place. The Nine Nether Underworld Flame is naturally extremely restraining to ice attributes."

"But this time it didn't have any effect. We underestimated the enemy. Xue is not as simple as we imagined. If we really fought, we would be existences killed in seconds."

The two of them continued to walk deeper and finally found another Purple Abyss Fruit. It wasn't as large as the one they encountered earlier, but overall, it was still quite good.

The Acting Acting Dean also knew about this matter and tacitly approved of Xue's behavior. Xue's influence among the younger generation was too great, and this just happened to give them a lesson. However, that old guy really trained Xue to be very formidable.

When she attacked just now, the Acting Acting Dean was also watching from the side. Xue's current strength is very formidable; even a high-level Spirit Realm expert would only be able to exchange a few moves with her.

It seems that the Wuqu Academy has suffered a big loss this time. I hope this matter won't cause psychological trauma to the two of them. To become a true powerhouse, there will be many more difficult setbacks in the future. They must be mentally prepared and learn to endure them slowly.
