Chapter 36

"The direction Jiang Li left in seems to be the same direction the fire rain was released…"

Cheng Hongyi raised his head, and when he realized where the fire rain was, worry rose within him.

"Quick! Let's go over and check!"

At the thought of this possibility.

Cheng Hongyi's heart was instantly seized with anxiety!

He quickly turned his head and said something, then immediately burst into speed, dashing forward at full velocity.

Seeing their homeroom teacher suddenly spring into action.

Li Mengying and the others were initially a bit confused, but once they came to their senses, they hurriedly chased after him.

Although they didn't know what had happened.

Looking at homeroom teacher Cheng Hongyi's expression just now… it seemed like something bad had occurred.

…

…

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!"

"…"

"Whoa."

"This scene really is something else…"

And at this moment, inside the goblin camp.

Jiang Li looked up at the falling meteor fire rain and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

A sky of crimson, dense and countless fireballs, whistling as they smashed down, the scorching heat rushing toward him…

This terrifying scene was like a natural disaster descending.

Giving off a thick, oppressive feeling.

To say Jiang Li felt no pressure at all would definitely be impossible…

"Whoosh!"

Feeling the rolling heat wave rushing at him, as if even the celestial phenomenon of the Ice Wheel Maru's approaching domain was melting and dissipating somewhat, Jiang Li stopped being distracted and quickly focused his mind on what was before him.

"Ice Wheel Maru!"

"Wall of Ice!!"

Jiang Li gripped the Ice Wheel Maru with both hands.

Sweeping it from bottom to top, tracing a perfect circular arc in front of him.

"Crack… crack!"

Endless frost gathered madly!

Following the circular trajectory, it formed a clear, azure-blue, and thick ice crystal shield.

"Crack crack…"

Jiang Li twisted his wrist.

The blade of the Ice Wheel Maru flipped along with it.

Bone-piercing freezing cold surged out once more, continuously stacking and condensing in front of him.

The entire ice crystal shield, while growing thicker, also expanded and unfolded backward.

From a simple flat surface, it unfolded all the way into a spherical shape, enveloping Jiang Li's entire body within it; from a distance, it looked as if he had been frozen and sealed inside a block of ten-thousand-year solid ice.

And this entire process.

Seemed complicated and long, but in reality, only took in the blink of an eye.

…

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!"

By the time the ice crystal shield had fully solidified.

The skyful of fire rain also came crashing down, like flame behemoths, letting out furious roars…

"Rumble rumble!!!"

A deafening roar erupted!

Blazing firelight shot skyward, rolling heat waves and smoke swept out in all directions!

"Waji?"

Even the nearby fire goblins couldn't help but raise their hands in front of their eyes; only after feeling the heat ahead dissipate considerably did they dare lower their arms, staring tensely into the smoke…

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind swept past.

Blowing away much of the shrouding smoke.

Gradually revealing the ground that had been struck by the fire rain.

The entire stretch of ground looked as if it had been bombarded by artillery, with large blackened pits emitting black smoke appearing one after another, waves of acrid burnt smell filling the entire camp.

And the thick ice layer that had originally covered the ground.

Had become even more shattered and broken.

"Wah!"

Seeing the scene he had caused.

The fire goblin couldn't help but let out an excited cry.

Under the terrifying might of a rain of fire from the heavens, that human was probably blasted to ash, wasn't he?

However.

When the smoke and dust obscuring its vision scattered once more.

A giant ice ball gleaming with light gradually came into its view…

"Gah??"

The Fire Goblin's expression froze.

It hurriedly rubbed its eyes hard, but the ice ball before it was still there — it was no illusion at all — and moreover… faintly, one could even see the figure of a person holding a long blade at the center of the ice ball!

An expression of utter disbelief immediately surfaced on the Fire Goblin's ugly red face!

"Crack…"

"Crack!"

Under the Fire Goblin's gaze of existential doubt.

The giant ice ball let out crack after crack of splitting sounds.

Starting from the very top, cracks gradually appeared on the surface of what had been a smooth sphere.

Almost in an instant.

The cracks spread across the entire ice ball.

The next moment.

Accompanied by a crisp "ping."

The entire giant ice ball shattered completely, and the figure within was gradually revealed.

And at the moment the figure reappeared.

Layer by layer of visible azure frost also spread outward from beneath his feet.

The ground that had been blasted with dozens of craters of varying sizes by the rain of fire from the heavens.

In just a breath, was once again covered by a layer of ice, with no trace whatsoever of the fire rain's attack to be found!
