Chapter 125 – Searing Selenic Palm (1/2)

Chapter 125 – Searing Selenic Palm

‘Searing Selenic Palm.’ Ye Wei used the momentum of his falling body to take a step forward, and the second his toes touched the ground the whole platform shook. He relaxed his shoulders and after a brief moment of silence he stretched his finger and put them into the sparks of green runic fire.

“Boom!”

Immediately after he placed his fingers into the fire, an immense heat wave burst out. Riding the wave, the cyan sparks sped towards the seven dark globes of energy in the sky.

“Whoosh!”

The sparks enlarged against the air current they created and merged to become a spirit selenic beast which violently collided into Qi Xiu’s stance.

“Bang!”

Although contained in the City Lord’s rune shield, the whole mountain trembled from the impact. The platforms closest to Ye Wei and Qi Xiu’s fight began to shake violently and they were on the verge of collapsing.

The cyan sparks of fire crashed into the black energy globes and erupted. A burst of blinding light shone in the sky and forced many to close their eyes because it was nearly as bright as the midday sun.

‘I never thought it would be this powerful… Pu Yuan always told me how much stronger stances composed of specialized runes were compared to ordinary stances, but I never had a chance to actually test it before now! My stance is only a high-level Spirit stance but there are twelve specialized runes intermixed with the thirty-six normal ones; this should be enough to beat his Myst stance.’

Ye Wei remained calm and calculating. He was as cautious as it was his first time using what he had learned in a real combat, and therefore he wasn’t sure how effective it would be.

Even considering stances’ power vary depending on the user’s strength many would say Ye Wei was mad to use a Spirit stance against the Seven Black Flare stance. Although Ye Wei had the strength of a condensed prime Warrior under the Supernova stance’s effect, it would take a returned prime Warrior to confidently deal with a Warrior’s Myst stance with just a Spirit stance.

It was to everyone’s surprise that the two stances were now caught in a deadlock.

Qi Xiu became furious. His face began to twist in anger as he struggled to accept the first flare of his stance could not crush a mere Spirit stance.

“Just wait! And don’t get cocky just because you dealt with one, there are more to come!” Qi Xiu screamed as he fired off the second, third, and the fourth flares. They were only becoming stronger after each burst from the flaring orbs.

“Boom! Boom!”

The energy of Qi Xiu’s and Ye Wei’s stances kept engulfing, crashing, grinding, and reducing each other.

With the fourth explosion Qi Xiu was starting to gain an advantage as the black energy globes grew even larger and eventually suppressed Ye Wei’s runic fire entirely.

“Is Qi Xiu going to win?”

“He can not hold himself against Qi Xiu’s stance anymore!”

The darkness of Qi Xiu’s stance was consuming the green light like a rising tide. It then quickly spread and began to swallow Ye Wei.

“He is still young, maybe in a few years he will be able to beat Qi Xiu and even stronger opponents! I look forward to seeing that!”

‘I can’t hold this much longer!’ Ye Wei felt his energy being drained quickly, ‘but I can’t show the Supernova stance’s second evolution just yet…’

It was impossible for anyone to tell that Ye Wei had the luxury to choose how he should hide his true power in this seemingly dire situation, nor did they have a way to find out.

A spark of inspiration hit Ye Wei as he started channeling his Qi using the Falling Star formula. He also incorporated the Shifting Star formula in the way he had with his Qi when it flowed through his body earlier, after which he started smiling.
