Martial Research Master

396 MARTIAL COMPETITION-The avatar was surprised by the sudden burst of flames, but he was too close to avoid them. He decided to utilize all his most powerful earth typ[e defensive techniques and activated all his meridians and accupoints to guard against the attack.

Even after undergoing so many turns of tempering, the fire was strong enough to burn through the avatar’s skin.

” Just what kind of fucking fire is this? I need to research it. Could you isolate it for research?” Long Tao asked the Keeper.

“I can isolate it, but you need to perform the experiments fast. The very characteristics of this fire are generated from a unique type of physical build that is specific to the practitioners of this art. It is similar to any fire we have seen so far, but at the same time, it is extremely different. Whoever created this art is a genius in the Dao of fire.” The keeper said.

A good amount of flames were being absorbed into the avatar’s body and stored within the artifact. The avatar, on the other hand, was regulating his energy to heal the burns he had sustained while using his ocular techniques to spot Loraine. Once he managed to pinpoint her location to some extent, he rushed in with full force to attack her.

“Infernal Flame Arts: Fire Fist Taekwondo.” It was a set of martial techniques developed to enhance the destructiveness of fire arts used by the practitioner. Due to the huge amount of beast flames ingested by Long tao throughout training he did in Pill valley, he had managed to create a unique kind of flame which was just a little lacking to earth fire in terms of strength.

The problem was the fact that he couldn’t use that flame in this world, without arousing suspicion from the representatives of various forces. He could only fight the innate fire he managed to build thanks to the Infernal Flame Arts, fueled by the nether energy.

The two flames clashed, and the Violet Flames were the obvious winners of the round. The avatar kept getting pushed back bit by bit. The only good thing was that the more they clashed, the more the violet flame was collected within the artifact. if enough violet flames could be collected, Long tao might have a chance to merge the two kinds of flames and create an even more powerful version of his flame in the future.

The two continued to clash, and the avatar knew that the only way he could defeat Loraine was by making this a battle of attrition. Thankfully, this also satisfied the initial plan he had in mind for this fight. if he won like the first round, the representatives would have suspicions regarding him. Gathering unwanted attention wasn’t beneficial for him.

.....

” Infernal Flame Arts: Lake Burning strike.”

“Infernal Flame Arts: Vaporizing Fist.”

‘Infernal Flame Arts: Engulfing strike.”

The avatar acted desperately and used multiple arts in continuation. Loraine was shocked by this development. even though her flames were much more powerful than the ones being used in the avatar, it wasn’t invincible. Unlike the avatar, she didn’t have a large energy reserve, and her flames began to grow weaker with time.

A representative from the flame hall was clutching the handrest in anticipation of the result of this battle. She saw Violet Flame growing weaker in the glow and the difficult expression on Loraine’s face. She knew that the fight couldn’t continue like this.

“Finish the fight faster.” She screamed at Loraine and managed to clear her head. Loraine looked at the avatar with shock in her eyes. She couldn’t even realize when the cunning enemy forced her into a battle of attrition. She immediately regulated her energy and flooded her flames with it.

The violet flames grew stronger, broke through the avatar’s defenses, and assaulted his body.

“So she managed to realize my plan. But no worries, I have a subsidiary plan for everything.” the avatar rushed into the flame-storm and appeared right before Loraine. The next moment he used a special skill within the Infernal Flame arts.

“Infernal Flame Arts: Flame King’s Destruction Fist.” This was the strongest attack art within the Infernal Flame Arts within the Qi King realm. Long Tao recently managed to master this art and managed to execute it, hitting Loraine on the abdomen, blasting her back.

The next moment he attacked with the same art, three times, breaking her defensive artifacts, and the fourth attack landed on her bare body, burning her clothes and breaking her rib bone. Loraine puked blood, but the avatar didn’t give her time to adjust as he concentrated both his physical strength and flames into his right leg and kicked her directly in the chest.

Loraine’s body flew off the stage and was about to land on top of a wall when a figure appeared mid-air and grabbed her. Blood was flowing out of her mouth and her complexion was deathly pale. The figure fed her a pill and used her energy to stabilize Loraine’s condition.

” I am sorry.” Loraine said.

“No need to be sorry. The defeat was legitimate. the enemy was stronger and craftier than you. hence your fell for his trap. You need to train both your mind and energy to grow.” The figure looked at the avatar with a complicated look in her eyes. She never expected there to be a Qi King who could defeat Loraine in terms of fire arts.

The rest of the audience was shocked to see that another dark horse seemed to have appeared within the competition. The dark horse wasn’t only a flame arts user, but stronger than a genius from Flame Halls.

The judge came forward to announce the results and the avatar retreated down to the stage to the resting area for the participants. The next few rounds proceeded before geniuses from the forces began to show up one after the other. This event was a very long one. Eventually, the top 60 were decided among the 120 participants.
