Chapter 287: Chapter 256: Invitation_1

Boom!

Their attacks were incredibly fast. In just a blink of an eye, they had clashed over a hundred times, with the violent shockwaves of spiritual power spreading out in all directions, forming a spectacular rainbow of tidal waves.

The formation protecting the battlefield, under the impact of the energy, continued to emit faint spiritual light.

“Celestial Flame Dragon Slash!”

Seeing that she couldn’t suppress Xu Mu, Fairy You Lan’s eyes suddenly hardened, and her body exuded endless red spiritual flames. Her armor, like a magic tool, began to burn like molten lava.

Crackle!

The emptiness in the formation began to twist and warp under the scorching heat of the spiritual flames, the temperature rising to extreme heights. If anyone placed ordinary iron around it, it would melt into a puddle in an instant.

Boom!

The Fangtian Huaji in Fairy You Lan’s hand was wrapped in the blazing fire dragon; she looked like a war god born from fire, bringing terrifying pressure as she relentlessly broadsided towards Xu Mu.

Fairy You Lan is an Alchemist; when they first met, she had already reached tier seven, and now after nearly a hundred years, she may already be at tier eight.

Alchemists are masters of fire manipulation; Xu Mu was not surprised at all by Fairy You Lan’s terrifying display of fire divine skills.

However, he believed his own abilities in using fire were not inferior to hers. Facing Fairy You Lan’s fire-enhanced attacks, Xu Mu was undaunted, immediately pushing his Great Sun Refining Shape Skill to its limit.

Bang!

White True Flames covered his entire body, then spread to all eight magical arms, boosting the power of the Space Grasp Skill further. With an attack power not at all inferior to his opponent, he tore through the air and launched a counterstrike.

Boom!

The two of them clashed tooth and nail, neither one giving any room to the other!

The intense shockwave made the formation’s light curtain fluctuate violently, risking breaking at any moment. Seeing this scene, Elder Jin was left with no choice but to intervene and maintain the formation.

However, while maintaining the formation, his eyes never left the duel, fearing he would miss the slightest detail.

Although his cultivation exceeded both of theirs, in terms of actual strength, he might not be able to suppress either of them.

“I hadn’t expected this youngster from the Southern Domain to have such a high aptitude in skill cultivation!” Elder Jin marveled to himself.

Cultivation could still be improved through fortunate encounters, but skill cultivation entirely relied on comprehension. If one’s comprehension was lacking, even ten thousand years of cultivation would be futile.

Of course, anyone who managed to reach the Golden Core Stage generally demonstrates fair comprehension. However, Xu Mu’s aptitude was clearly far beyond that of a typical Golden Core cultivator.

“With his strength, he’s quite suitable to help the princess with that matter,” Elder Jin thought to himself.

He knew well that Fairy You Lan’s invitation to Xu Mu for a friendly match was not merely to gauge his strength; she was most likely aiming to enlist his help with something.

The endless explosion in the formation never ceased. If not for Fairy You Lan’s prior instruction, the people of the Palm Immortal Office might have already rushed over.

…

All that took just fifteen minutes. Fairy You Lan had thrown all sorts of attacks, but Xu Mu, with only his Space Grasp Skill, had kept his defense perfect, matching her stride for stride.

Naturally, neither used their full strength. However, just from this battle, Xu Mu was not weaker than Fairy You Lan—in fact, he even seemed slightly superior.

“Enough! Enough! Your strength is formidable, I admire you!”

Dodging another attack from Xu Mu, Fairy You Lan retreated to the edge of the field, sheathing her armor and putting away her Fangtian Huaji, she waved her hand in resignation.

After such a long bout, she couldn’t even make Xu Mu reveal his magic tool, which was somewhat frustrating.
