Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 351 - 352: Win with One Strike

"You’re actually unscathed? What kind of monster are you?"

His faith shattered, the cultivator who had obtained the Fire Phoenix had been full of hope for his future, even picturing himself dominating the Mortal World with this very technique. But at this moment, the scene before him completely changed his mind. He even felt as if his brain had ceased to function, losing the ability to think, with only one thought remaining in his mind.

Why? Why is this person completely unharmed, without even a singe mark on his clothes, or a curl to his hair?

"Calm down a bit," his partner slightly furrowed his brows. Fortuitously, they had known each other before entering the outer world and, fatefully placed in the same group within Tongshen Mountain. It was for this reason that he had chosen a Wind Element Cultivation Method, which did not possess strong offensive power but provided significant support for the Fire Phoenix technique. Yet, upon seeing his companion’s current state, he began to doubt his decision for the first time.

"How can I be calm?" The cultivator who unleashed the Fire Phoenix had seemingly lost all reason, indicative of how greatly the scene before his eyes had shocked him.

"Heh heh, those aren’t the words of a cultivator," said Mu Can, manipulating the flames in the air. The flames slowly converged above and astonishingly took the form of a Flame Giant Dragon.

Mu Can often used such a move in the past, but he only harnessed the power of the Dragon Ball within his body then, summoning a mighty technique through his understanding of flames.

But now, within a realm permeated by both ice and fire, Mu Can’s comprehension of ice and fire had reached an understanding of the Dao, and upon ascending to Martial Saint Level, what became most crucial was the understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

The Flame Giant Dragon that Mu Can created from fire was much more delicate and lifelike than before. Gracefully slithering across the sky, it resembled a lively, breathing Giant Dragon.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Ultimate Secret Manual Mu Can had obtained. The Ice and Fire Glass Lotus was merely one of its expressions. However, it should be noted that the attack power of the Ice and Fire Glass Lotus was far greater than that of the current Flame Giant Dragon. The Ice and Fire Glass Lotus possessed a dual attribute and could compress its energy to such a degree that even space would burst open, while the Flame Giant Dragon, despite its imposing appearance, only boasted Martial Saint Level attack power and could not compare to the Ice and Fire Glass Lotus at all.

"A True Dragon, it’s actually a True Dragon."

The Dragon Clan in the Mortal World only truly appeared in legends, and even in the Immortal World, they were a mysterious race that seldom showed themselves. However, the Dragon Clan’s might was unquestionably powerful. Consequently, the Dragon Clan left an impression on others as both mysterious and formidable. None of the other three people present had ever seen a true Giant Dragon. Now they saw a Flame Giant Dragon circling above Mu Can’s head and thought they were actually witnessing the Dragon Clan. This was also a result of Mu Can’s advanced understanding of flames, with his formidable control bringing the Dragon to life. If previously Mu Can’s summoned Flame Giant Dragon was nine parts in form but only three parts in spirit, then the current one could be said to be ten parts in form and nine parts in spirit, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Right now, the Giant Dragon, with a pair of spirited eyes above Mu Can’s head, curiously surveyed the two cultivators opposite it. Seeing the trembling pair, the Giant Dragon humorously rolled its eyes.

These actions were not controlled by Mu Can; the Flame Giant Dragon did them entirely on its own initiative.

There was no suspense; against two people who had lost their will to fight, Mu Can’s victory was a foregone conclusion. If he still managed to lose when commanding full advantage, he deserved to be eliminated.

Merely one strike, calling it an attack was an overstatement; it was nothing more than the Flame Giant Dragon casually flicking its tail. The two cultivators opposite were seriously injured. However, as they lost the capability to resist due to their injuries, two beams of light emerged underneath their feet, promptly transporting them elsewhere before even Mu Can could intervene.

Presumably, this was a protective measure of Tongshen Mountain for its Challengers. After all, the goal of Tongshen Mountain was to select the most potential cultivators for its inheritance, not to engage in senseless slaughter.

This battle not only granted Mu Can an easy victory over his opponents but also won Xu Liang’s wholehearted respect.

In this fight, Xu Liang could be said to have played no role at all. In other words, he was just there for show. However, because of his actions just now, Mu Can recognized him. No matter his strength, the desire to save someone was indeed genuine. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Mu Can had his principles in dealing with people and was even more explicit when choosing friends. Xu Liang’s performance had proven that he was someone trustworthy, and Mu Can was willing to consider him a friend. When it came to friends, Mu Can was known to be easygoing.

Even if Xu Liang contributed nothing at all, Mu Can would not hold it against him.

"The second match is about to begin." Right after eliminating the opposition, the mysterious voice rang out again.

The familiar Transmission Array appeared under the two, and the next moment, they were transported to a new dueling ground, which was again divided into two parts.

"It’s a gauntlet battle." Xu Liang had already recovered from the shock of witnessing the Dragon Clan, but after realizing that the Flame Giant Dragon was merely one of Mu Can’s abilities and not an actual creature of the Dragon Clan, he was filled with admiration. As a representative of the Divine Beasts, it would be a lifelong bragging right if he truly got to see one.

"Don’t worry. Tongshen Mountain surely has its limits. Since it’s consecutive battles, as long as we keep winning, the first place will undoubtedly be ours."

Mu Can was quite optimistic. After all, it was just a fight; having become familiar with the pattern of the Duel Arena, he didn’t fear the upcoming battles at all.

When the dividing wall in the middle of the Duel Arena rose and disappeared, Mu Can did not rush to initiate the battle. Instead, he observed the two cultivators opposite him.

They were two strange cultivators; one carried a huge pillar on his back that towered even above the robust man himself, resembling a beam used in house construction, inscribed with all sorts of profound patterns. The other held a long sabre, a blade that emitted a faint red glow.
