In an instant, Victor felt as if all the bones and blood in his body had turned into a ball of fire.
This was a strange feeling that he had never experienced before.
What was even stranger was that when he said the phrase “Burning body of fire” and passed through the spell formation, he felt a kind of pleasure.
The feeling of flames melting in the flames.
The feeling lasted for more than ten seconds before he felt like he had been ‘swallowed’ by the spell formation. He then fell outside.
He had succeeded!
The clone that was formed by activating the spiritual energy of fire was actually able to escape from the spell formation!
After thinking about it, Victor did not stay any longer as he was afraid that he would be discovered by the other people in the spell formation. He moved his body and hid in a blind spot.
From a distance, Victor realized that Ye Lingxuan was looking at him and was making hand gestures excitedly.
The other people did not notice him at all. Instead, after the formation attack ended, they all entered a meditative state to recover their spiritual power. They were preparing for the next wave of formation attack.
After making a hand gesture, Victor signaled for Ye Lingxuan to follow the previous plan. He then turned around and disappeared into the night.
“…”
Inside the spell formation, Ye Lingxuan looked at Victor’s back as he left. She felt uneasy and confused.
She could not imagine that Victor had such talent. With just a glance, he had learned all of the Son of Fire’s martial arts techniques.
This was really surprising.
However, she was also nervous. Victor was only at the first level of the foundation establishment realm. If he followed them rashly, would he not get himself killed instead?
Moreover, he said that after learning the other three’s water, wood, and thunder spiritual powers, he would come back to save her.
But those four guys were not fools. Would they really stand there in a daze and let him learn all of their techniques?
Or could it be that Victor had learned all of the four sons of the Central Plains’ martial arts techniques during the process of them executing their martial arts techniques? He was just worried that once the formation was broken, those four guys would immediately slip away, so he decided to sneak away alone.
Many guesses surfaced in Ye Lingxuan’s mind.
However, at that moment, she could only watch helplessly as he left alone.
The feeling of not being able to help him even though she was clearly an entire realm higher than him made her feel very depressed.
She punched the clone that Victor left beside her angrily. She gritted her teeth and muttered, “Victor, you must come back alive, or else… I won’t let you off!”
…
Under the night sky, in the forest of the Heavenly Narcissus Lake, Victor’s figure flashed as he jumped around the ancient trees.
His speed continued to increase as he rushed towards the distant Heavenly Narcissus Lake.
He had already learned from Ye Lingxuan that the four sons of the Central Plains were heading in the direction of only one destination and that was the Heavenly Narcissus Lake!
The purpose of this trip was precisely to go to Heavenly Narcissus Lake.
But he did not know what they were looking for there.
After thinking to himself, Victor could not help but quicken his pace.
Those four guys had gone to great lengths to trap the six of them there. They even threatened that the sect master of the Green Dragon sect would soon be one of them.
Those shocking words made Victor feel very uneasy.
His intuition told him that the four guys were definitely strange.
…
After speeding up his travel, Victor finally saw the Heavenly Narcissus Lake and the huge formation that was more than a hundred meters high floating on top of the Heavenly Narcissus Lake!
When he took a few steps closer, he saw the persons who had set up the formation.
It was the four sons of the Central Plains!
At that moment, the four great spiritual energies of fire, water, wood, and thunder flowed out from four of their bodies and poured into the hundred-meter-long formation.
However, unlike the four people who had set up the four-element formation to trap them, the formation that enveloped the sky above the Heavenly Narcissus Lake had a larger area and abundant spiritual energy.
Moreover, when the four people used the formation, the time and spiritual energy that they used were also much longer.
Victor keenly noticed one thing: The four of them did not seem to be injecting spiritual energies into their bodies. The formation seemed to be continuously ‘devouring’ the spiritual energies in their bodies instead.
The reason why Victor felt this way was because he discovered that as the private spiritual energy continued to be injected into the formation, their faces, arms, and skin were rapidly shriveling!
This was a sign that their spiritual power was being depleted.
Normally, cultivators would not risk their lives to set up a formation that was far beyond their limits.
However, those four people were abnormal. They seemed to want to sacrifice their own flesh and blood to this formation.
The doubts in Victor’s heart grew deeper.
At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind, interrupting his thoughts.
“Ding! Water Spiritual Power detected within 100 meters. Son of Water martial arts technique continues to be downloaded. Remaining time: Five minutes.”
After hearing the notification, Victor suddenly woke up. Previously, as the four sons were more than 200 meters away from him, the download of their martial arts technique was automatically cut off.
At that moment, the distance between them had reduced to 200 meters again, so the download of the martial arts technique continued.
This was like a phone automatically updating its software after connecting to WiFi.
However, after connecting, the remaining download time was only five minutes.
This was not a long time. Shortly afterward, the notification of the completion of the download rang in his mind again.
“Ding! Water Spiritual Power, the download of water martial arts techniques have ended. The host can install it at any time. Do you choose to install it now?”
“Install it!”
Victor gave the order without any hesitation.
The abilities of the four sons of the Central Plains were too strange. If he could download one more set of martial arts techniques, he would have an extra layer of insurance.
Victor was thinking about it when suddenly, in the next moment, he felt a gush of flowing water spiritual power pouring down from the top of his head. It filled his entire body with a quiver.
He felt a brand new water spiritual energy spreading in his body, nourishing his bones and flesh not long after.
The feeling was indescribably comfortable.
Whilst the comfortable feeling lasted for the next few minutes, balls of brand new martial arts techniques started to appear in his mind.
At that moment, he clearly felt that as long as he willed it, he would be able to display the Son of Water martial arts techniques.
As for the Son of Water’s martial arts technique, Victor closed his eyes and moved. Countless brand new martial arts techniques appeared before his eyes.
Water Shadow Clone…
Water Dragon Bullet…
3000 Weak Water Palm…
Divine Ripple Fist…
Spirit of Water…
…
As compared to the overbearing Son of Fire’s martial arts technique, Victor discovered that the water martial arts technique was more gentle and flexible.
Not only could he condense water spirit energy into his palms and fists to use, but he could also transform it into the shape of a water dragon and throw it.
Such martial arts technique was indeed very different from the East.
After thinking about it, Victor could not help but see the ‘water spirit’ move in the martial skill pane. He discovered that the martial arts technique could actually transform his entire body into a ball of flowing water. He could then sneak into any pool or lake.
The technique was rather new.
It just so happened that he needed to secretly put the Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus into the Heavenly Narcissus Lake, so he could try out the technique.
After he thought about it, he proceeded to activate his water spiritual power and used a martial art technique called ‘Spirit of Water’.
