Mist-Flame Spear, Scorching-Fire Wave

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The fifth match, Divine No. 5, Xu Zhengchun, and Earth No. 5… Xu Yang!" Xu Qinggang paused for a while and said loudly.  

"What happened? Xu Yang has already participated in a match. Why is he having another match now? Even his number plate has been changed." Xu Changling frowned.   

Xu Qinglu smiled bitterly and walked to him. He said, "Father, it is because Xu Yang took the initiative to exchange his number plate with Xu Zhengchun's opponent."   

"What? How dare he!" Third Elder of the Xu family smacked his hand on the tall chair and yelled angrily, "The little bastard really wants to die! How dare he take the initiative to challenge Zhengchun?"  

"Arrogant! Ignorant! He is just like his father!" Third Elder of the Xu family angrily scolded, "Hurry, tell Zhengchun to not hold back. Beat him up heavily!"  

"Brother!" Xu Changling scolded him and said with dignity, "Qinglu, go and inform Qinggang that it is a match within the family. Make sure that no one crosses the line." 

Third Elder said angrily, "No way!"  

The rickety old man with a long beard immediately stood up and said to Xu Changling, "Manor Master, I totally disagree with what you said. If you say that they cannot cross the line in the family tournament, what about Xu Yang who beat my Zhengming up so badly?"   

Xu Qinglu was in a difficult position, and he looked at his father.  

Even Xu Changling himself was in a difficult position. If he were to stop the tournament at that moment, Xu Yang would have to be punished as he truly did cross the line in the first match. However, he was worried about Xu Yang if he did not assert this rule in the match between Xu Zhengchun and Xu Yang.    

The Second Elder stood up and said, "Elder Brother, as I see it, we shouldn't just sit here and wait. It might be one of the most fascinating matches in this tournament. Why don't we go and spectate it?"   

Xu Changling pondered for a while and soon understood Second Elder's intention. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Good idea. It is quite boring to sit here. Let's go! Qinglu, there's no need to stop them."  

Xu Changling knew what to do. If he could spectate nearby the ring, he could save Xu Yang easily with his cultivation in the Mystical Grandmaster stage in case Xu Yang were to meet a life-threatening danger. 

With Xu Qinggang's announcement, loud laughter sounded under the ring.  

"I've been waiting for a long time." Xu Zhengchun walked onto the ring step by step, hovering slightly in mid-air. It seemed as if there were invisible steps supporting him. He was dressed in noble white attire and this made him even more handsome.    

"Fuh… He is indeed a genius that can be compared with Xu Zhengxin. The technique to walk in mid-air is marvelous! I am pretty sure that there is no other youngster in our family who can do this." A youngster from the Xu family said in wonderment.   

"Beautiful but useless." Xu Yang made a conclusion.  

Xu Zhengchun was using Mystical Power to support himself. He had to use Mystical Power every step he took and it required good control of Mystical Power. 

The real technique of walking in mid-air was a natural ability of a Mystical Grandmaster who could control himself and reach the Micro-Sight stage. The fact that Xu Zhengchun had to be extremely careful every single step he took was an embarrassment to the technique of being able to walk in mid-air.  

However, it was quite extraordinary for a Mystical Warrior to be able to perform this kind of trick. Even Xu Qinggang's eyes flashed in surprise.  

"It is a match within the family. Don't cross the line. You are not enemies." Although Xu Qinggang did not receive the manor master's orders to say so, he took it upon himself to say that nonetheless. He stared at Xu Zhengchun and Xu Yang on the ring and said, "Understood?"   

A sneer flashed in Xu Zhengchun's eyes and he said, "Uncle Qinggang, I'm afraid I can't agree with what you said. How can we improve when we are not allowed to fight using all our strength? Cultivating Mystical Qi is a process of breaking through in an extremely dangerous situation. If one were to not have the courage to do that, it is better to admit defeat and live a commoner's life! What would be the purpose of participating in the Grand Family Tournament?"  

Xu Zhengchun was able to guess Xu Qinggang's thoughts. He warned them before the match as he was worried that Xu Yang would be beaten up too badly.  

Xu Qinggang's deep eyes glanced at Xu Zhengchun, and he retreated a few steps backward to leave a space. He said, "You may start now."  

Xu Zhengchun swiftly hopped backward and created some distance between him and Xu Yang the moment Xu Qinggang told them to start. He had seen the scene in which Xu Zhengming was beaten up heavily by Xu Yang's punch. He would definitely not make the same mistake.   

"Mist-Flame Spear!" Xu Zhengchun was a Fire-Extreme Mystical Warrior. He quickly casted this long-range attacking Mystical Technique after leaving some distance between him and Xu Yang.   

The scorching and fierce Fire Mystical Power came out of Xu Zhengchun's palm and shot toward Xu Yang. It was a spear-shaped flame.  

Xu Yang had seen the Mist-Flame Spear cast by Wei Haoshan from Fire-Cloud Dojo before. Comparing both their attacks, although Xu Zhengchun's Mystical Power's strength was weaker than Wei Haoshan's, the purity of his Mystical Power was higher. This illustrated the outstanding qualification of a youngster from big families.   

Xu Yang extended his left hand and took a deep breath. An attractive force poured out from his palm. The huge flame spear that was shot toward Xu Yang's chest was rigidly and forcefully pulled away from its intended target and went straight toward his palm.   

Xu Yang's left hand launched Rock Body right after that. The stone-grey color covered his left hand and pulverized the Mist-Flame Spear into red flames.   

"Nice one, young fella! His physical strength is unimaginably strong." The second elder of the Xu family said with surprise on the high chair near the ring. "I wonder how Xu Yang tempered his body. He is like a cub of a savage beast!"  

The third elder of the Xu family was slightly jealous and snorted. "The foundation of a Mystical Cultivator is Mystical Power and Mystical Cultivation. It is no use to be strong in physical strength only."  

Xu Zhengchun's eyes flashed with surprise. Only when he was actually facing Xu Yang, could he then feel how strong Xu Yang's physical strength was.

The Mist-Flame Spear he launched contained a strength exceeding one hundred fifty juns. Xu Yang could crush it with one hand and this meant that his physical strength was stronger than one hundred fifty juns.  

Xu Zhengchun's cultivation was in the Intermediate Mystical Warrior stage, having a physical strength of fifty juns was considered quite good. However, this kind of physical strength was much weaker than Xu Yang's!  

"Okay, I admit that your physical strength is really strong. It is your honor as I'll start to take you seriously now." Xu Zhengchun said, "Use all your strength. I'll show you how useless it is to have strong physical strength!"   

Xu Yang shook his head and said indifferently, "You didn't get what I said." 

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhengchun frowned.   

"I exchanged for the No.5 plate not because you are eligible to be my opponent but I didn't want to hear you buzzing around my ears like an annoying fly." Xu Yang's peaceful demeanor seemed to be merely stating a fact. "I don't care if you take me seriously or not. You only need to know that I have never taken you seriously."  

Xu Zhengchun's expression was awful to say the least to find out that Xu Yang never took him seriously!  

The laughter that came from under the stage was like a thorn penetrating deeply into Xu Zhengchun's mind.  

"Argh! Xu Yang! I will kill you!" Xu Zhengchun huffed and green veins appeared on his forehead. "Scorching-Fire Wave! Go to hell!"  

The scorching Fire-Mystical Power poured out from every Mystical Vein of Xu Zhengchun's entire body. The Mystical Power turned into a real sea of fire, and the fire waves swept toward Xu Yang.
