The distance of dozens of meters was traversed in a blink.
Cai Fanghua appeared before Su Yuan in an instant, a seven-inch purple dagger flashing into her hand.
Holding the dagger in a reverse grip, Cai Fanghua’s body flickered with purple Star Power as she suddenly slashed forward like a phantom.
“Butterfly Dance, Piercing Flower!”
The purple flash was like lightning.
In the next moment, Cai Fanghua traced an elegant arc, slicing through the spot where Su Yuan had been standing.
However, she did not feel any impact at all.
“Missed?!”
Cai Fanghua’s pupils contracted as she quickly turned around, only to see that Su Yuan had already appeared hundreds of meters away, swiftly forming hand seals.
“Instant Movement?
It was actually Instant Movement!”
Everyone in the arena was astonished.
They hadn’t expected such a divine skill.
Cai Fanghua inwardly cursed and immediately charged at Su Yuan again.
But, this time, Su Yuan had intentionally increased the distance.
Before Cai Fanghua could approach him, Su Yuan waved his hand, and a massive Gate of Hell appeared in front of him!
As chaotic, evil auras emanated, two green-flamed Stone Men over six meters tall emerged from the gate, mercilessly reaching for Cai Fanghua.
The world darkened before Cai Fanghua’s eyes as the giant green-flamed hands blocked the light above her head.
“What is this?!”
Cai Fanghua’s expression changed drastically.
She quickly halted her forward motion.
At the same time, purple light danced behind her, and a pair of purple butterfly wings unfurled instantly.
A true flying skill!
Cai Fanghua flapped her wings furiously, narrowly escaping the grasp of the Hellfire’s massive hands!
Cold sweat covered her forehead as she hovered mid-air, her gaze fixed in horror on the two gigantic flaming Stone Men.
“What…
what is this?!”
Not just Cai Fanghua, but the entire arena exclaimed in astonishment at the sight of the Hellfire!
“Such gigantic Stone Men…
are they Titans?!”
“The pressure they exude is overwhelming.
Just looking at them makes me feel undefeatable!
What kind of monsters are these?!”
Chen Jiujun, Ling Long, and Fang Mingyu — everyone was stunned by the imposing Hellfire standing on either side of Su Yuan.
Regardless of their strength, the six-meter-tall Hellfire, radiating chaotic energy, made a tremendous impact!
The students from Demon Capital Academy, on the other hand, were excited.
“Here it is, Su Yuan’s Hellfire!”
“It’s coming, it’s coming; it’s walking out from the Gate of Hell!”
“Holy shit, it’s so freaking cool!
I missed the last preliminary challenge, but I can’t believe I get to see it today!”
“Even Xiang Dingqian was defeated by it.
Can anyone really take down these two monsters?”
“Wei Hong, keep it down.
Xiang Dingqian is still sitting over there…”
“Oh, this!”
Wei Hong turned to look at Xiang Dingqian, only to see him intently watching Su Yuan and the Hellfire on the field, seemingly not having heard his words.
Wei Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On the field, Cai Fanghua hovered in mid-air, staring at the two terrifying Hellfires standing on either side of Su Yuan, feeling her scalp tingle.
“Damn it, what kind of freak is this guy?” Cai Fanghua cursed inwardly, “Summoning such terrifying creatures is one thing, but summoning two at once?!”
Cai Fanghua suppressed her shock and quickly weighed her options.
Despite everything, she still had some chance.
Her Awakening Soul Skill allowed her to fly naturally, giving her multiple attack angles.
Plus, her movements were agile, giving her a decent chance to bypass the Stone Men and directly defeat the opponent behind them.
This was a sparring match, not a life-and-death battle.
As long as she could immobilize the Summoner, it would count as a win.
With this in mind, Cai Fanghua rapidly formed hand seals, and abundant purple Star Power surged from her body.
“Ten Thousand Flowers and Butterflies!”
Cai Fanghua whispered, as the Star Power transformed into countless purple petals flying around her.
These gathered into numerous clones, creating over a hundred in mere seconds!
“Impressive…
with just this number, this Clone Skill must be Blue Grade.”
Su Yuan looked at the hundred clones in mid-air before him and genuinely praised her.
“But if you plan to win through quantity alone, that might not be enough…”
In mid-air, Cai Fanghua took a deep breath.
Ten Thousand Flowers and Butterflies could create up to a thousand Flower Avatars.
Currently, she could only produce a little over a hundred.
But these hundred-odd Flower Avatars had already consumed three to four-tenths of her Star Power!
Succeed or die trying.
In Cai Fanghua’s mind, if she couldn’t break through the terrifying Hellfires, then having more Star Power left was meaningless.
To win, she had to fight quickly and decisively!
“Attack!”
With a thought, the numerous Flower Avatars flew out, transforming into streams of purple light charging toward Su Yuan, guarded by the two Hellfires!
The two Hellfires showed no mercy.
Their green flames roared as their enormous stone arms swung out.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
One by one, the Flower Avatars were smashed apart by the Hellfires.
Even Cai Fanghua’s true form couldn’t withstand the Hellfires’ terrifying power, let alone these clones.
A single hit meant certain destruction!
Although the Hellfires moved quickly, their attack speed was somewhat lacking.
Cai Fanghua followed the assassin’s speed-based route.
In exchange for losing over thirty Flower Avatars, one finally broke through the Hellfire’s defense line!
“It’s through!
Could it be the real body?” The spectators’ eyes lit up.
Su Yuan watched as Cai Fanghua, holding a dagger, flew at him at high speed.
Slightly sidestepping, he easily dodged the dagger and extended a fiery red finger.
Steel Flame Finger!
“Bang!”
The approaching Cai Fanghua exploded into a wave of Star Power, revealing it to be just a Flower Avatar.
Su Yuan’s expression remained calm, as if he had expected this.
The two Hellfires were overwhelmed.
If a single clone could break through, more would follow.
If it were him, he wouldn’t rush in with his true body either.
He would use clones to test the waters and see what countermeasures the Summoner had.
ƝονǤ0.ᴄᴑ
But a single clone was insufficient to probe Su Yuan.
Despite the Clone Skill’s finesse, managing so many clones at once inevitably led to some stiffness in their movements.
When that Flower Avatar had rushed close, Su Yuan had already sensed it was fake, so he resolved it with a casual Steel Flame Finger.
Yet this outcome surprised the students watching.
“He actually trained in close combat skills?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it must be Steel Flame Finger.”
“It is Steel Flame Finger!”
“Why doesn’t he summon other creatures?”
“Maybe other summons can’t handle aerial units.”
…
“So he has some close combat ability…” Hidden among the Flower Avatars, Cai Fanghua sneered inwardly.
“No matter how strong you are in close combat, you are a Summoner after all.
Can you defend with your body against me?!
The defense line has broken.
The gaps will grow larger and in no time, I will strike you down in one blow!”
With a thought, the numerous Flower Avatars in the air launched forward one after another…
Gradually, more and more Flower Avatars breached the Hellfires’ defenses and reached Su Yuan’s proximity.
Yet Su Yuan then displayed Wind Walking and Hardened Iron Armor.
Combined with Steel Flame Finger, he remained tranquil despite the increasing attacks from the Flower Avatars.
“Oh my god, isn’t he a Summoner?
How can he use Wind Walking and Hardened Iron Armor too!”
“Summoners need to learn some skills for self-preservation; it makes sense…”
Su Yuan looked up.
In this short time, there were only about thirty Flower Avatars left in the air.
“She should act soon.
If she doesn’t, her clones will be exhausted…”
As Su Yuan contemplated, three more Flower Avatars simultaneously broke through the Hellfires’ defenses from three different directions overhead.
As they approached, a vast cloud of purple dust suddenly surged from all directions around Su Yuan.
The dust wasn’t formed out of nowhere.
It was the remnant of the previously shattered clones!
In an instant, Su Yuan found himself mired in purple dust, sensing the swamp-like impediment.
Movement became strenuous, and even Instant Movement was restricted!
Ten Thousand Flowers and Butterflies, Floral Swamp!
As a follow-up skill to Ten Thousand Flowers and Butterflies, it significantly hindered the enemy’s actions, prohibiting most movement-related skills, including the space-based Instant Movement!
The three clones emitted intense Star Power fluctuations, their daggers gleaming purple as they closed in on Su Yuan from all sides!
“Finally, it’s come…” Su Yuan thought.
This opponent could not only produce over a hundred clones but was also incredibly fast and capable of flight, exceedingly agile.
Chasing her would have been troublesome and disadvantageous.
Better to rely on the Hellfires, countering her attacks with unwavering composure.
When her true body attacked, it would be his turn to retaliate.
The moment had come!
At that instant, Su Yuan’s body erupted with intense gray light.
The air distorted slightly, and an invisible, terrifying pressure emanated from Su Yuan!
The pressure descended too suddenly.
Even Cai Fanghua’s true body among the three clones couldn’t react!
“Boom, boom, boom!”
In an instant, the three Cai Fanghua avatars were heavily slammed into the ground under the Elemental Magnetism Pressure.
Two clones were severely injured and exploded on the spot; only Cai Fanghua’s true body, mere steps behind Su Yuan, remained!
Cai Fanghua felt like she was in a swamp more dreadful than her Floral Swamp, even standing became challenging.
Frightened, she channeled a substantial amount of Star Power into the butterfly wings behind her.
The runes on her wings flared intensely, doubling their size.
Flapping her wings, Cai Fanghua’s body lightened again.
While not entirely free from Elemental Magnetism Pressure, traversing the short distance to the Summoner within moments was possible!
“It’s not over yet!”
Cai Fanghua’s eyes shone.
Rising once more, she flapped her wings, intending to strike with her dagger!
However, just as she took a step forward, a strong sense of danger surged in her chest, stopping her in her tracks.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
Massive crashes resonated as the ground quaked!
Surrounding Cai Fanghua, four gigantic green-flamed stone fists slammed down simultaneously!
“This, this…”
Watching the massive stone fists descend, Cai Fanghua’s heart pounded, and her delicate face turned slightly pale.
If she had been a moment slower, she might have been ground into pulp!
Ahead, footsteps approached.
A calm-faced, refined young man emerged from behind the stone fists.
“Thanks for the match.” Su Yuan nodded at the somewhat startled Cai Fanghua.
