Chapter 089: Draw

On the arena, Long Fei’s face no longer showed its usual calmness; his delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

“Well then, let’s begin.” Long Fei took a deep breath. After all, he was the clan leader of the Huang Group, the soul of Huaxia, with extraordinary strength and a highly complex background. If he simply admitted defeat without even fighting, he would lose all face.

“A tri-elementalist! He’s actually a tri-elementalist!”

The entire training hall was in an uproar. The combat technique “Seven Layers of Waves” that Chen Xiao had demonstrated earlier was something they had already seen. And now, those twelve terrifying giant blue giants on the arena were clearly some kind of summoned elemental beings.

In the sky, those five ten-meter-long blue dragons were obviously spells triggered by some spiritual incantations. As for Chen Xiao himself, floating mid-air on clouds of mist, that was even more beyond their understanding.

But they had already determined Chen Xiao’s rank—at least fourth level! Only those above the fourth level could unleash their abilities instantly.

In the Thousand Souls Realm, Chen Xiao had fought countless battles against fierce spirits and beasts. The ability crystals had enhanced his mental power and physical strength, so his current strength was far beyond that of the novice he had been when he first joined Huaxia’s Soul.

“Hmph!”

Without waiting for Chen Xiao, Long Fei struck first. He wasn’t foolish enough to attack those water elemental giants radiating chilling coldness. With a push from his feet and a lean of his waist, he instantly exerted force, leaping upward. Adjusting his body slightly in mid-air, he rushed at Chen Xiao like a sharp sword.

Chen Xiao wasn’t very skilled in controlling the clouds of mist formed by the water beneath his feet, but upon seeing Long Fei take off, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

With a movement of his mental power, those five blue dragons lunged at Long Fei simultaneously.

Long Fei twisted his body, as if supported by some invisible pivot, and awkwardly turned to the side. At the same time, he clenched his right hand into a fist and tapped the air five times in a row.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those seemingly majestic dragons were instantly scattered, turning into droplets of water that flew everywhere, making the entire training room feel like it was raining heavily.

Now, Long Fei could no longer stay in the air. He fell to the arena like a leaf, landing lightly.

His movement was extremely agile. As soon as his feet touched the arena, he tried to take off again. But this time, Chen Xiao was already prepared.

The twelve water elemental giants instantly transformed into waves, sealing off Long Fei from all directions.

“Hmph!” Long Fei let out another cold snort. Faced with those waves formed by the water elemental giants, he remained calm, using his palms to send waves of true energy at them.

Long Fei understood that these water elemental giants were different from those five water dragons earlier. Those dragons were merely a form of water, but these giants were true elemental beings with actual ranks—far beyond mere manifestations of elemental energy.

Not daring to neglect them, Long Fei unleashed his full strength.

In the next moment, Long Fei’s expression changed drastically. Although he had shattered three Water Element Giants with his palms, he was horrified to discover that his vital energy was on the verge of freezing! Long Fei was a fifth-tier ancient martial artist, a rare genius nurtured by his family. Yet at this moment, his fifth-tier vital energy was about to be frozen by the icy power emitted by those Water Element Giants! He rallied his spirit, causing his vital energy to flow rapidly, driving out the chill. By then, his entire body was covered in a layer of frost. “Roar!” Seizing this opportunity, the other nine Water Element Giants took shape, swinging their fists and hurling them at Long Fei with a howling sound. “Damn it!” Long Fei’s eyes widened as his vital energy circulated swiftly, constantly expelling the invading cold. But the bodies of these Water Element Giants were made of extremely cold water, whose chill seemed endless. Faced with these giants composed of such extreme cold, Long Fei, despite having 100% of his strength, was reduced to only 70%, unable to fully unleash his power. In the air, Chen Xiao was also busy, waving his Star and Moon Staff continuously. A crystal-blue water barrier, seven or eight meters high and entirely made of extreme cold water, instantly surrounded the arena. In the next instant, the temperature in the entire training room dropped sharply below zero, turning all the water that had fallen to ice. Some lower-tier ablers and ancient martial artists couldn’t help but shiver. Yu Ye Xiao Chen glanced at the arena surrounded by extreme cold water, a glint appearing in his eyes. “Qingyu, you’ve truly found a treasure for our Xuan Group. With Chen Xiao around, how can those people from the Huang Group still compete with us?” Yang Lin was overjoyed, laughing out loud, though his body was already surrounded by a faint layer of Fire Element energy. Nan Gong Qingyu was clearly stronger than Yang Lin. Although her face was pale, she didn’t use any abilities to protect herself. “Last time I saw Chen Xiao, his strength was only at the third tier, right? Now his strength can rival Long Fei’s?” After all, Nan Gong Qingyu was a girl with more delicate thoughts. “He has been practicing the ‘Zhou Tian Ming Gu Fa.’ After causing such a big stir last time, his mental strength must have broken through to the fourth tier. Given his terrifying attribute compatibility and his status as a tri-elementabler, such strength isn’t surprising at all,” said Xie Junyang. His strength had reached another level, and the temperature had no effect on him. As for those in the Huang Group, their faces were pale. If their leader were also defeated by Chen Xiao, their group would likely be completely crushed by the Xuan Group, losing any foothold in the Soul of China. If even their leader was beaten by a rookie, how could they face the rest of the Soul of China? Bang! Bang! Bang! Several loud noises came from behind the water barrier, causing it to tremble slightly. Boom! Suddenly, the water barrier burst apart. Long Fei’s face was pale, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he retreated to one side of the arena.

Chen Xiao also had a pale face, holding the Star and Moon Staff as she stood in the center of the arena. Below the arena, everyone looked at each other, unsure of the outcome. After a long while, Long Fei’s expression turned grim as he spoke, “I…” “We tied, didn’t we?” Chen Xiao coughed lightly to interrupt him, then jumped off the arena, ignoring Long Fei. On the arena, Long Fei looked at Chen Xiao with a complex expression. “One day, I’ll truly defeat you,” Long Fei sighed softly. “Chen Xiao, what was the result?” Yang Lin, the restless guy, immediately ran over and asked with a laugh. “The result? We tied.”
