Chapter 370: with translation of chapter title

However, Bei Kai seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he shifted his body slightly and dodged Hong Hai'er's sneak attack.

He backhanded a spear thrust, the meteor spear sweeping toward Hong Hai'er with a whistling wind.

The two engaged in a heart-pounding clash on the battlefield.

Hong Hai'er was agile in movement and sharp in spear technique, while Bei Kai relied on the defensive power of his heavy armor and the might of his meteor spear, holding his position firmly and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Each clash was accompanied by the ringing of metal on metal and scattering sparks.

On the battlefield, their figures crisscrossed, their gang qi surging, as if they would overturn the entire battlefield.

"Hmph! Your turtle shell is pretty hard!"

Hong Hai'er snorted coldly, but a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Knowing Bei Kai's strength was not to be underestimated, he had to give his all to win.

"Ding! Hong Hai'er's skill Holy Infant activated!"

Holy Infant: Holy Infant's crimson flames illuminate the universe, true fire samadhi stabilizes the primordial. This skill is the exclusive skill of the Holy Infant Great King Hong Hai'er!.

Effect One: Holy Infant Awakening – when Hong Hai'er fights, his martial power instantly increases by 5 points; this effect can be triggered twice.

But when Hong Hai'er is injured, there is a certain chance to trigger the Holy Infant Awakened state; in that state, his martial power increases by another 5, and the effect of his 'Samadhi' skill is enhanced:

The Samadhi skill's flame critical strike (Effect Two) can be triggered an extra time within ten rounds.

The Samadhi skill's flame ring protection (Effect Three) increases the martial power suppression of its counterstrike to 2 points.

Effect Two: Holy Infant's Wrath – while in the Holy Infant Awakened state, each time Hong Hai'er attacks, there is a 20% chance to deal an additional 2 points of martial power suppression to a single enemy target.

Effect Three: Holy Infant Resonance – if there are other allies on the battlefield using fire-type skills, Hong Hai'er can resonate with them, each gaining 2 points of martial power, lasting the entire battle; if the resonating ally also possesses the Samadhi skill, then both sides' skill effects can be triggered an extra time.

Note: The Holy Infant Awakened state can be triggered only once per battle; after it ends, Hong Hai'er enters a brief weakened state, his martial power decreasing by 2 points for 2 rounds.

Currently Hong Hai'er's base martial is 105, weapon and steed give +2, Samadhi skill gives +7, Holy Infant Effect One activates, martial +5.

Currently Hong Hai'er's martial power rises to 122!

"Ding! Su Ye's skill Imperial Fate activated!"

Currently Bei Kai's martial +1, martial power rises to 122!

However, with Su Ye's boost, Bei Kai, clad in heavy armor and focused on defense, now seemed like an insurmountable mountain.

No matter how Hong Hai'er attacked, he could block it steadily and wait for a chance to counter.

His meteor spear traced silver arcs in the air; each attack left Hong Hai'er feeling helpless, as if suppressed by a great mountain.

As time passed, Hong Hai'er began to feel somewhat overwhelmed.

His attack speed gradually slowed, while Bei Kai's counters grew increasingly fierce.

Finally, in a fierce clash, Hong Hai'er revealed an opening.

A glint flashed in Bei Kai's eyes; he gripped his meteor spear and thrust toward Hong Hai'er's chest with lightning speed.

If this strike lands, Hong Hai'er will likely suffer more harm than good.

However, at this critical moment, Hong Hai'er displayed astonishing reaction speed.

He flickered his body, dodging Bei Kai's lethal strike by a hair's breadth.

"Ding! Hong Hai'er's Holy Infant Effect One activates again, martial +5.

Currently Hong Hai'er's martial power rises to 124!

At the same time, he backhanded a thrust, the flame-tip spear sweeping toward Bei Kai's waist with scorching fire.

Bei Kai was secretly startled, but having fought a hundred battles, he was experienced.

He quickly retracted his meteor spear, blocking Hong Hai'er's attack.

The two again fell into a stalemate.

At this point, Hong Hai'er was no longer as arrogant as before; he deeply realized he had encountered a formidable opponent.

Bei Kai also understood that defeating this youth would not be easy.

Finally, after a fierce clash, both retreated several steps simultaneously, stabilizing their stances.

"Heh, Dian Nan, step forward and assist, take down that junior officer!"

At this moment, before the Cangzhou Army, Su Ye watched Bei Kai gradually falling into a beaten state, curled his lip, signaling Dian Nan ahead who had not yet acted to come forward and help.

Bei Kai now showed fatigue; already clad in heavy armor, his battle with Hong Hai'er had consumed a great deal of gang qi.

Although Hong Hai'er is young, his strength is not to be underestimated.

As the flame-tip spear danced, rolling flames surged, as if even the air were about to ignite.

"Here!"

Hearing this, Dian Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

Without a moment's hesitation, he spurred his flame steed, like a red lightning bolt tearing across the battlefield, straight toward Hong Hai'er.

Flame blade in hand, Dian Nan's aura suddenly surged.

This peculiar weapon, formed from two short daggers combined, seemed to come alive in Dian Nan's hands.

The blade flickered with scorching firelight, echoing the flames of the flame steed, as if it would set the entire battlefield ablaze.

As the second squad, they five had no notion of martial virtue; facing Su Ye's order to gang up on a little brat.

Dian Nan had no particular objection.

As for Dian Nan's strength, the five of the Armored Second Squad were originally a group of unruly, defiant individuals.

Although in the original story, Dian Nan did not display any outstanding performance.

But the fact that he steadily became captain of the Armored Second Squad without any dissent is enough to prove his ability.

In the Armored Second Squad, if you can only command but not fight, you cannot be captain!

"Youngster, don't be arrogant!"

Dian Nan shouted loudly, the flame blade sweeping with a whistling wind as it chopped toward Hong Hai'er.

This blade, both swift and fierce, clearly aims to take down Hong'er in one strike.

Ding! Diannan's Five Elements skill, Seal Magic activated!

Seal Magic: slay evil and eliminate wickedness, melt in fierce flames, vanish at dawn. This is an exclusive skill for the wielder of the Flame Dragon Armor; effects vary by person.
