Flame-Shaping Magic, Master-Disciple Battle

Chapter 21 Flame-Shaping Magic, Master-Disciple Battle (Part 1)

"Martial Soul Possession!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

The moment the master and disciple simultaneously completed the spirit possession.

Yan raised his right hand slightly, and a cannon muzzle made of magma instantly took shape.

With a muffled thud, a dark red magma fireball shot out at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Flame-Shaped Magic - Vulcan Cannon! Hellfire Magma Bullet!

Yan relied on his second and third soul skills to improve his form transformation, and he also did not abandon his first soul skill.

This self-created soul skill was created by him relying on his proficiency in changing his own form, and by making use of the effect of hell magma!

The original Hell Magma Surge was simply a soul skill that shot out magma energy at high speed. With the addition of the cannon's focus, the speed is at least doubled!

Although due to time constraints, his digestion and transformation of the hell magma was far less efficient than with his second and third soul skills, resulting in the magma energy being less pure than when he directly used his first soul skill.

However, with the added speed, its power increases rather than decreases.

Most importantly, as his mastery of "nature change" and "form change" improves, the power of this soul skill will continue to increase!

Depending on the properties of the shell, various shells with different characteristics and powers can be launched!

In the future, it is entirely possible that it will become a soul skill with a minimum output of 100 years and a maximum output of 10,000 or even 100,000 years!

This truly makes the Vulcan cannon live up to its name!

"The action was too obvious."

As You Chen casually commented, he dodged the Hellfire Magma Bullet with a sidestep.

A loud bang, like the detonation of a small explosive, rang out behind him.

The speed of this hell magma bullet has reached the level of a thousand-year soul skill, and its power is also at the upper level of a hundred-year soul skill of the offensive type. Even without considering the consumption of constructing the muzzle, the energy consumption of the magma alone is still at the level of a hundred-year soul skill.

This is undoubtedly a qualified or even excellent self-created soul skill.

However, it's still not enough for You Chen, a level 50 Soul Master who leans towards agility-based attacks.

Even though You Chen had suppressed his soul power to level 36, the same as Yan's, his martial soul's enhancement naturally dropped to the Soul Venerable level, but his physical attributes would not decrease.

His physical attributes reached the Soul King level long ago. Even though there was a difference in the quality of their martial souls, You Chen still had the upper hand in terms of overall physical strength.

Reacting to such a direct, blunt shot would be effortless for You Chen, given his quick reflexes.

However, this advantage is not obvious, because Yan's physical attributes are far superior to those of the same level. You Chen only completely suppresses Yan in terms of speed.

Faced with You Chen's evaluation, Yan remained silent and continued shooting.

With the consumption of a hundred-year-old soul skill, he could fire hundreds of shots like this.

As You Chen watched Yan enter rapid-fire mode and dodge continuously, he had already discerned the other's intentions.

Apart from the initial attack, which maintained the strength of a four-hundred-year-old soul ring skill, the subsequent magma cannonballs could only barely be considered as having the energy level of a hundred-year-old soul skill, merely having the appearance of something else.

Even though it's a hundred-year-old soul skill, when fired as a Vulcan cannon, its power is only slightly weaker than the original Hellfire Lava Burst, but it's still enough to cause considerable damage to agility-type soul masters.

Although it was called a battle between master and disciple, You Chen's purpose was to test his skills, so he naturally held himself to the standards of an agility-based Soul Master.

But Yan's real purpose was not to weaken him.

Instead, they restricted his surroundings through ranged attacks, and then—

The third dark purple soul ring coiled around Yan suddenly lit up.

Third Soul Skill: Fiery Prison Cage!

If this hits, it will be a death sentence for any agility-type Soul Master of the same level!

However, almost at the same time that Yan's third spirit ring lit up, You Chen's second spirit ring also lit up!

Due to his physical advantages, You Chen restricted himself to using three or four soul skills, and could only use one or two soul skills and the power of his martial soul itself.

This is a tacit understanding that the master and apprentice can reach without words.

Youchen (I)'s second soul skill is called "Power of the Fierce Wind," a soul skill that purely enhances wind-type power.

As the wind element's power increases, the speed of the wandering dust naturally increases!

After the Hellfire Magma Bomb exploded, the remaining magma energy on the ground was about to form a cage. But when Ke Yan saw You Chen accelerate, he realized that he could not restrain his teacher. In order to ensure that his soul power was not wasted, he was forced to cancel the soul skill halfway.

Even so, it still consumed half of the soul power needed to fully unleash this soul skill.

Even if the consumption was reduced by relying on the residual energy in the environment, it was still equivalent to spending nearly a quarter of the soul power released normally, which is the consumption of a normal thousand-year soul skill!

Yan's soul power suddenly dropped a bit.

"The tactics are good, but they're being used too rigidly. You're too eager to establish an advantage, which makes it easy for others to see through your true intentions."

The sound of wandering dust drifted on the wind, and his figure had already closed in on Yan.

Yan looked closely and saw that behind You Chen, a pair of snow-white dragon wings with a wingspan of more than two meters were unfolded, with specks of starlight shining like dust.

The dazzling beauty was secondary; with the aid of those dragon wings, You Chen's already impressive speed increased even further.

In the blink of an eye, You Chen's fist came crashing down on Yan's face.

The speed was astonishing; Yan reacted instinctively, raising his arm to block.

One after another.

Despite Yan's greater strength than You Chen's, he could only hastily dodge and defend at the astonishing speed, and even so, he still managed to withstand a considerable number of attacks.

While punching, You Chen didn't forget to be sarcastic: "See, your plan failed, so you have to accept the predicament of being at a disadvantage in soul power. I can just keep at it with you like this, using my speed advantage to make it difficult for you to fight back, and drag it out until you're defeated!"

Yan felt quite aggrieved and wanted to say that not everyone is like Teacher, able to seize such an opportunity to launch an attack, but You Chen's offensive was too fierce, and Yan had no chance to speak.

Continuing like this will only lead to defeat!

Yan understood this deeply, without You Chen needing to say more.

In past sparring sessions between master and apprentice, he lost more than once or twice.

But this time, as a farewell showdown with his teacher, he wanted to show his teacher how much he had grown, and he... absolutely did not want to lose!

"ah--!"

Yan roared, a sudden cry that even You Chen hadn't anticipated, causing his attack to falter for a moment.

Taking advantage of that brief moment of opening, Yan forcibly constructed a bunch of arm armor on his forearm.

Flame-Shaping Magic - Flame Armor!

Bang!

These arm guards enhanced Yan's defensive capabilities, reduced the impact of You Chen's attacks, and gave Yan more time to regroup.

"good!"

As You Chen loudly praised Yan, his first spirit ring suddenly lit up.

Even if Yan's unexpected response did win him the opportunity, is he the kind of person who would be happy for his disciple's growth and then just take advantage of it?

No! Absolutely not!
