Chapter 712: Na'er, I understand

"Stop thinking about these irrelevant things; even if the only chance lies with him, it's impossible for him to suddenly appear..."

Huo Wu said, dejected: "We can't leave, and he wouldn't just happen to come find us at this time."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Shui Bing'er smiled meaningfully: "Since the God Trial has forced us into such a desperate situation, there must be certainty that he can arrive in time, although I don't know the reason."

"He will arrive in time?!"

Huo Wu's eyes clearly brightened.

"Don't be happy too soon; if that's really the case, all of this must be a conspiracy," Shui Bing'er said softly.

Huo Wu tossed her long hair indifferently: "Whatever, we're going to die anyway, why think so much? It would be nice to see him one last time."

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but smile: "Huo Wu, if we die just like this, will you have any regrets?"

"Regrets?"

Huo Wu shook her head and said: "What's there to regret? Anyway, everything up to this point was my own choice, no one forced me, so if I die, I deserve it."

"Then do you feel disappointed?"

Shui Bing'er looked quietly at the glacier before her; the bone-chilling cold made her shiver involuntarily.

Huo Wu noticed, reached out to grab her other hand, and began an Exchange of their auras.

"Disappointed, how could I not be?"

She curled her lips and said: "After working so hard for so many years, I never got to go out and show off, and now just dying like this—how could I not be disappointed?"

"Who do you want to show off to?"

Shui Bing'er smiled softly, her feet already slowly losing sensation.

Huo Wu panted slightly, exhaling Flame, but the scorching heat had already made her thoughts grow hazy.

"Of course that big jerk, that big scumbag; Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Tianshui Academy, the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Championship—I fought him so many times, and I never won once..."

Shui Bing'er moved her lips, feeling somewhat numb: "Okay... if we can still see him... I'll help you beat this big scumbag together..."

Huo Wu grinned, somewhat dazed: "Then it's a deal..."

"Swish! Swish!"

Two figures whistled past, whipping up a sky full of snow in the Frost Forest.

Naturally, it was Qin Jian and Poseixi, who were rushing over with extreme Speed.

"Hum, hum."

A red glow flickered on Qin Jian's forehead, the frequency growing faster and faster.

"Sister, time is urgent, I'll go on ahead!"

Qin Jian sensed that the life force of Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu was fading rapidly; his entire mind was extremely focused, as if he had forgotten everything else.

Even though he hadn't seen those two girls in many years, they remained an inseparable concern in the depths of his heart.

How could he... lose them?!

"Clang! ——"

A manic sound of a sword, a violent burst of Sword Qi.

Poseixi didn't even see how he moved before she saw a shadow of a Light Sword wrapping tightly around him.

The next moment, like an arrow piercing the clouds, he vanished instantly from where he stood, turning into a black dot in the distance.

"So fast."

Poseixi's speed had already been raised to the limit, yet she still couldn't catch up to Qin Jian's back.

Gradually, even his back could no longer be seen.

Poseixi: "..."

"To think there would be such a high-temperature Fire Prison here!"

Not long after, Qin Jian's figure appeared above the canyon.

At first glance it looked like a canyon, but looking again, he discovered that the mountain walls on both sides were worlds of ice and fire, distinct and clear, yet encroaching upon each other.

"Boom!"

Just then, a collision that occurred every so often surged up from the bottom of the valley like a tide, filling the entire Ice and Fire Canyon with extreme fluctuations of cold and heat.

"Ugh..."

Caught off guard, Qin Jian was hit head-on; in an instant, it felt as if he had rolled back and forth dozens of times between a raging Flame and an iceberg.

The alternation of cold and heat nearly tore him apart!

"This is the extreme manifestation of the Water Element and the Flame element; focus your mind and perceive them, don't let them hurt you!"

A light shield alternating between red and blue emerged from his body, and at the same time, Na'er's voice sounded from the depths of his heart.

Qin Jian gained a moment to breathe and busied himself with balancing the water and fire elements in his body, finally extricating himself from the dangerous situation.

If he had delayed for even a moment longer, he might have exploded from the thermal expansion and contraction of such extreme contrast.

"Thank you, Na'er," he whispered.

Na'er reminded him: "The water and fire elements here have absolutely reached the limit below God Level; be careful yourself."

"Mm."

Qin Jian replied, adjusted his own balance of cold and heat, and then unleashed his Spirit Power to explore the entire canyon.

According to the guidance of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were nearby.

"It's there!"

His figure flashed continuously along the direction of the canyon, and soon he appeared in mid-air thousands of meters away.

"Wait!"

Just as he was impatiently wanting to dive into the interior of the canyon, Na'er suddenly shouted to stop him: "Don't let concern cloud your judgment; it is not that easy to enter below, and the further down you go, the more dangerous it is. Can't you use Lovesick Heartbroken Red for short-distance teleportation? Just move them out directly!"

"Ah! Right!"

Qin Jian suddenly woke up, hurriedly stopping his figure, and the light of Lovesick Heartbroken Red on his whole body suddenly bloomed.

"Hum!"

A red ring of light extended downward, flying rapidly toward those two blurry figures.

"Almost there!"

Qin Jian concentrated his Spirit Power, struggling to probe downward.

Because he discovered that the closer he got to Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, the harder it was to approach.

"Bang!"

Just as the fluctuations of Lovesick Heartbroken Red were about to envelop Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, a fiery red glow and an Ice and Snow blue light simultaneously burst forth from their bodies, directly dissipating the intangible and formless fluctuations of Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

"This..."

Qin Jian frowned, once again sensing with Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

"Bang!"

But just like the last time, it was still dispersed at the very moment it was about to reach them.

"It's useless..."

Na'er's figure suddenly appeared at his side.

Her gaze fell downward, looking at the distorted light around Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly: "The elemental power on them has reached its limit, almost approaching God Level, enough to burn or freeze everything."

"Can it even eliminate the sensing of my Lovesick Heartbroken Red?" Qin Jian said.

Na'er nodded, her expression somewhat grim: "In that case, you must go down."

"Mm, I'll go down."

Qin Jian's expression was very calm.

Na'er turned around and looked up at him: "Do you know how dangerous it is?"

She had never been so nervous: "Without reaching God Level, even if your elemental control is strong, going down is like walking a tightrope; once you lose control, you will die in an instant."

"I understand."

Qin Jian nodded, his soul power slowly circulating throughout his body, adjusting his state.

He knew that this time was a huge challenge and he could not have any distraction or mistake.

"Qin Jian..."

Na'er flew up, making herself the same height as him.

Her delicate palms cupped Qin Jian's cheeks, and she said in a low voice: "Then do you understand that this is a conspiracy, laid out for you by those gods? Once you go down, there is no turning back!"

Qin Jian met her gaze, and slowly, he revealed a gentle smile, without a hint of nervousness, only calmness and indifference:

"Na'er, I understand."
