Chapter 102: Tempering Three Women
Xiao Chen's scolding made Xue Rui's face flush bright red, she felt extremely wronged in her heart, wasn't it because I was afraid you'd get hurt?
"Go all out and let me see your true strength. In battle, no enemy will thank you for holding back. If I had aimed a bit to the side just now, you would have been killed by the Wind Blade." Xiao Chen said coldly, he was clear about the weaknesses of Xue Wei and Xue Hua, they wouldn't understand the cruelty of battle without experiencing the storms of blood and fire.
Sometimes, strength is not the decisive factor in winning or losing.
Xiao Chen's scolding woke Snow Rui up and she also regained her spirit.
She muttered to herself, with waves of raging fire elements dancing like a spiritual snake, and her eyes seemed to have fierce flames burning within.
Feeling the magical aura in the field, both Shuvi and Galois became tense.
"Explode!" Xue Tong pointed with her finger.
A cluster of flames appeared beside Xiao Chen, suddenly exploding, and waves of fire engulfed him.
If he used his true Seven Star Magician strength, he could have broken through the explosion with one strike and knocked down Xue Tong, but now he only showed the strength of a five-star peak magician.
Xiao Chen's body suddenly burst out a dragon whirlpool, tearing apart the engulfing flames. Xiao Chen pointed with his right hand, and a green wind snake shot out.
"Windbound Serpent!"
Xue Hui's movements were not slow either, the innate talent of the Twin Disciples was not just talk. Looking at that wind snake, her hands shot out a burst of flames, a wall of fire rose to the sky, blocking her way. Xiao Chen pointed again, a fierce gust of wind rose up, blowing the flame wall into a dying ember.
The snake bound by the wind passed through the firewall, pounced on Xue Tui, entwining her body, and she suddenly felt a binding force that made it difficult for her to move.
"You're just that strong." Xiao Chen's calm words came, and Xue Hui's face turned bright red. She didn't expect to be suppressed again in an instant. A light of shame and anger shot out from her eyes, and suddenly a fierce flame burst out from her body. Her powerful six-star magic surged out, instantly shattering the one-star high-level Wind Binding Snake into pieces.
"Young master, I won't hold back now."
Xue's face suddenly turned solemn, and then her fingers kept fluttering, pinching a very complex magic gesture. The sky was filled with the sound of fierce fire whistling.
A dozen or so birds formed from flames charged towards Xiao Chen.
"Flame Crow!" Galois's face changed, this was a very difficult to master fire system two-star high-level magic, didn't expect Xue Tong had already mastered it after just advancing to six-star.
Feeling the intense flames surging in the air, and the strange cries of the fire birds.
Xiao Chen's eyes also showed a hint of unexpectedness.
I didn't expect Snowy to actually have some real skills, the damage from Flame Sparrow Hawk is quite astonishing, if he doesn't bring out his true abilities, he might get hurt.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with white light, and instantly a dozen or so swirling wind flowers appeared. His current strength was far superior to before, but in an instant, a dozen or so wind pellets condensed and whizzed towards the flock of fire crows.
The fire crow and wind bullet collided in mid-air.
Continuous fierce explosions rumbled, flames burst out, the air was turbulent, and the entire arena shook. Galois and Snowy's faces changed slightly as they watched, not expecting such a big commotion from a small confrontation.
"Xiao Chen (Young Master) is fine, right?" The two of them looked at the scene with tension, the power of Huo Yan Fei's flames was astonishing, comparable to a normal three-star low-level magic.
The scene gradually subsided, and Xiao Chen's figure also emerged. He was not disheveled in the slightest, his Taoist robe was clean, he stood tall, a whirl of cyan wind swirled around him, slightly stirring his black long hair. Looking to the other side, the two women were stunned.
Xue Wei's face was slightly pale as she stood there, the Flame Crow had consumed a lot of her magic.
And in her eyes, a thread of terror flowed out, a cluster of cyan, beautiful wind flowers were slowly swirling just an inch or so above her forehead, the petals opening and closing from time to time, looking harmless.
But Xue Tong clearly felt that the wind flower from the previous moment was still a terrifying wind bullet, carrying a horrific speed shooting towards her head. With the strength of these wind bullets easily tearing apart Huo Yan's Flame Sparrow, tearing her head apart wouldn't be difficult at all.
Just as the gust of wind was about to hit her head, it suddenly stopped and turned into a harmless breeze. For a moment, she was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating.
Pfft...
The whirlwind spun for a moment before suddenly dispersing into wind elements that merged into the void.
Xue Hua's heart suddenly fell to the ground, her eyes instantly turned red, even though she knew Xiao Chen wouldn't hurt her, but in that moment of life and death, she was still scared out of her wits.
Xiao Chen walked over and rubbed her head.
"Okay, don't cry..."
"Master..." Xue Hui's eyes welled up with tears.
"I'm just telling you, don't be complacent, your strength is actually quite good, however, it's still far from a true master, you need to work harder." Xiao Chen said with a gentle tone.
Galo and Xuewei also came up, and the two comforted Xuerui for a while before she burst into tears and smiled.
"Xiao Chen, what kind of magic did you just use? You easily dispelled the Flame Flying Crow." Galois and Xiao Chen were both wind-element mages, so she was even more curious about the magic he used.
"Oh, one of my own creations." Xiao Chen said casually.
"Genius!" Galois exclaimed, startled. He smiled wryly and immediately sighed, "I shouldn't have asked you, this monster. Every time, you make me doubt that I'm an idiot."
She didn't doubt Shao Chen's words at all, Shao Chen had revealed too many miracles, even if he created magic himself, she wouldn't be surprised, only in her heart, there was still some bitterness, as if Shao Chen always had one surprise after another, when you thought you already understood him, he would immediately use an even bigger surprise to make you realize that what he showed was just the tip of his iceberg.
"This is nothing, the world of magic is vast and boundless, even if I master it now, it's just a drop in the ocean." Xiao Chen said calmly.
Galo stood there and suddenly said: "Xiao Chen, I also want to compare with you."
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned.
Galo's strength is probably slightly inferior to Xue Tong's.
"I want to see the gap between us." Galois smiled, but in her heart, she secretly thought: "I still need to work harder, I will desperately catch up with you."
"Then let's go." Xiao Chen was very decisive. He also felt that relying solely on bitter practice was the stupidest method, and only battle was the shortcut to cultivation.
Two people arrived at the scene, Xiao Chen still had nothing in his hands, but Jia Luo Xue was fully armed with a staff, a ring, and various magical equipment, which increased her strength by at least 30.
Even so, the battle between the two was utterly one-sided. Under Xiao Chen's comprehension of the wind, Galois' magic couldn't harm him in the slightest. As fellow wind mages, the difference in their realm of understanding allowed Xiao Chen to see through all the loopholes in Galois' attacks. No matter how Galois attacked, Xiao Chen easily parried and dodged, while his single-star magic alone forced Galois into a flurry of activity.
After a few minutes, Jia Luo Xue was panting and gave up. She had been forced by Xiao Chen to the point where her magic was almost depleted.
Xue Wei watched from the side, and only then did she feel that her loss was not entirely unjust.
Xiao Chen's precise control over magic and her grasp of the aircraft were simply too abnormal, making them seem like a fledgling chick in comparison.
"Is this what a real magical battle looks like?" The twins watched as Xiao Chen's movements flowed like clouds and water, even producing a strange sense of wonder. Every one of Xiao Chen's actions deeply grasped the spirit of combat, displaying a unique rhythm, as if it wasn't just fighting, but an art form - the art of combat.
He controlled the rhythm of the entire battle, even grasping every move his opponent made, making predictions and suppressing them tightly.
Like a cunning spider, it continuously spits out silk, entwining the opponent bit by bit, until when they finally come to their senses, they are already unable to move.
A brand new gate opened before them, letting them know that magic battles had such a terrifying side.
It's not just about reciting incantations and casting spells.
But transformed into an absolute control, controlling the scene!
The more they watched, the more a spark seemed to be lit in their minds, yet it was vague and elusive, like a mirage on the water, making them feel itchy in their hearts and eager to try it out.
So as soon as the battle with Galois Snow ended, the two sisters jumped down from the stage and were eager to try it out with Xiao Chen, wanting to experiment with that bit of vague understanding in their minds.
Reality is cruel, they entered the arena and fought against Xiao Chen. In the intense battle, their minds had already thrown away that vague understanding to the nine heavens. After being defeated by Xiao Chen once again, they regretfully discovered that the thread of understanding reappeared. They kept regretting the mistakes made in the previous battle, thinking "if only I did this and that earlier, the outcome would have been completely different".
It's just that when they fight again, they find it's still like this: one battle, one tension, and they completely forget that mysterious feeling.
Persistent regret and remorse, repeatedly turning back.
Xiao Chen watched with his eyes, but didn't say much. His combat skills were honed from countless battles in his past life in the Xiu Zhen Realm, and had already reached the realm of "great skill appears simple" and "returning to simplicity". That's why it looked so easy, giving San Nu a feeling of inspiration, as if she could also do it easily.
In fact, it's not easy to achieve his level, and it can't be done in just a few days.
In the following days, Xiao Chen spent most of his time accompanying the three women to hone their skills and gain insight into the application of magic.
However, this battle genius's daily sparring with the three women brought them benefits far greater than they had imagined.
Although it's still a crushing defeat every time, each time I feel like I've grasped the fighting rhythm of Xiao Chen, but as soon as I go on stage, I forget everything. However, what they didn't realize is that they are constantly allowing Xiao Chen to showcase more skills, and the time they can hold on against Xiao Chen is also gradually increasing.
Xiao Chen was also intentionally controlling his strength while continuously comprehending and improving his control limits.
This continuous battle-tempering lasted for a full month.
Xiao Chen finally stopped training on this day.
He said to the three women: "Alright, now I think it's time for me to go out and try my skills."
