Chapter 102: Good Disciple! A Reward Awaits You!

Although everyone doubted Ye Chen’s ability to defeat Fa Zhen, the disciples still believed that Ye Chen had proven himself by reaching this point. From being seen as a mere simp, a useless waste of a disciple relying on connections, he had fought his way to second place in the sect. Even in defeat, he had earned honor.

…

On the stage, Fa Zhen smiled slyly. As Ye Chen unleashed his rapidly moving purple gold hand, he already had a method to counter it.

Boom…

The battle began.

Fa Zhen raised his hand and summoned a talisman. In an instant, flames spread across the arena, blocking everyone’s line of sight.

Ye Chen clicked his tongue in frustration. Although his Heaven Destruction Hand was incredibly fast, it could not match the immediate release of a spell from a talisman. At this moment, the raging fire in the air disrupted his vision, making it hard to lock onto the true position of his opponent.

Unlike his direct clash with Li Xiaoyao and his Heaven Destruction Hand, the methods of this Magic Peak direct disciple were truly something to consider.

As Ye Chen pondered how to break the situation, dozens of fireballs erupted from the flames and shot toward him.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen raised his hand to summon a golden shield.

Majestic Heavenly Dragon Shield!

The fireballs collided with the golden shield and instantly vanished, without even leaving a ripple in their wake.

Hidden among the flames, Fa Zhen paused, thinking to himself that this golden shield was so all-encompassing. It could either be highly draining on spiritual Qi, or unable to withstand concentrated attacks. Considering Ye Chen was merely at the Qi Refining stage, it seemed unlikely that he had trained in defensive spells that consumed too much spiritual power. Therefore, if he attacked at a specific point, he could easily break through.

Fa Zhen formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Within moments, a long spear of fire materialized before him, its tip wrapped in swirling blue flames!

Flame Spear Technique!

The fiery spear, enshrouded in blue flames, shot out in the blink of an eye, charging toward Ye Chen, who stood behind his golden shield amidst the flames.

Yet, Ye Chen was not standing idly by. He had been using the Emperor’s Qi Viewing Technique to study the surrounding flames. The moment there was any sign of change, he could pinpoint the exact location of Fa Zhen.

As soon as the fire spear formed, Ye Chen locked onto his opponent’s position. He dispelled the golden shield and immediately unleashed his Heaven Destruction Hand, reaching toward the figure of Fa Zhen hidden within the fire.

Fa Zhen was taken aback. Ye Chen was not attempting to defend himself—he was attacking. Did he wish to bring about a mutual defeat?

But in the next instant, Fa Zhen understood the truth.

Although Ye Chen’s golden shield had vanished, a golden little dragon still circled around him. Just as the fire spear was about to strike Ye Chen, the golden dragon let out a furious roar and charged toward the spear.

The blue-flamed spear collided with the golden dragon, shattering on contact. The blue flames that had wrapped around the spear were absorbed by the little dragon, transforming it into a golden dragon, now swirling with blue fire!

Fa Zhen was left stupefied, but there was no time for him to think further. A purple gold Hand was already descending rapidly toward his head.

With a clenched jaw, Fa Zhen quickly conjured another talisman, transforming himself into a fiery apparition just in time to dodge Ye Chen’s Heaven Destruction Hand.

Ye Chen was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Fa Zhen to evade his attack.

Hidden amidst the flames, Fa Zhen gritted his teeth. How was he supposed to counter this? It seemed there was no choice but to use that final technique!

Fa Zhen steeled his resolve and spat three mouthfuls of blood. As the blood came into contact with the flames, it slowly formed into a blood-red, humanoid flame figure resembling him!

Three humanoid flames, under his command, began to float around him, encircling Ye Chen.

“Now, let’s see how you defend!”Fa Zhen sneered. “This is my ultimate technique—Blood Spear Technique! Ye Chen, if you can withstand this, I’ll admit defeat!”

As his words fell, four blood-red spears began to take shape.

Ye Chen, now trapped in the center of the encirclement, could feel the four powerful forces approaching. If it were only one attack, he could repeat his previous tactic and block it with the Majestic Heavenly Dragon Shield, but with only one dragon, he couldn’t fend off attacks from all four directions at once.

With a soft sigh, Ye Chen spoke helplessly, “In that case, don’t blame me.”

In the next instant, Ye Chen gathered his spiritual qi to his fingertips, and dozens of sword qi shot out, targeting one of the blood figures. With another sweep of his hand, dozens of sword qi flew toward another blood figure. With each movement, hundreds of sword qi were unleashed in the blink of an eye!

Meanwhile, the blood spears were still being formed, unable to release in time!

The three blood figures dissipated instantly upon contact with the sword qi, and the blood spears, still in their nascent state, vanished without a trace. Fa Zhen was struck by the sword qi and staggered, falling to the ground, spitting another mouthful of blood.
