Chapter 98: Combat power test

With so much experience fighting in battles, coupled with the magic of his footwork, Lan Xuanyu simply entered the wolf pack just like that.

Three fireballs roared towards him.

Lan Xuanyu squatted down, his left hand pressed on the ground and a layer of thin ice immediately appeared on the surface, then he smacked the ground with his right hand. With his body curled up, he glide forward in an instant.

His left hand released an ice shield, blocking his front and relying on the forward momentum, he knocked all the 10-year Lava Hounds that couldn’t dodge in time.

He was at high speed and with all the strength in his right hand, he produced a powerful explosive force. There were consecutive rumblings behind him and even a series of wails.

He couldn’t turn back to look. After he charged out of the siege, he quickly sprinted forward directly towards a 100-year Lava Hound.

At this point, it was without a doubt that the Lava Hounds were in disarray. Most of the 10-year Lava Hounds were already injured but most importantly, he had to think of how to deal with those three 100-year Lava Hounds. He had the confidence to deal with them one-on-one, so he cannot let all three 100-year Lava Hounds get together.

He charged forward at full force and the 100-year Lava Hound had just spat fireballs so when it saw Lan Xuanyu running over, it merely let out a low roar and pounced forward.

Lan Xuanyu wasn’t shocked and was glad instead. The most important thing right now was to fight for time.

Both parties got closer and closer to one another. Lan Xuanyu’s eyes glistened and in this moment, he had already completely forgotten fear and all he saw was his opponent. The golden and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass had a faint glow on both his hands while his spirit, vitality and energy has been elevated to the extreme.

Seeing that there was less than five metres between them, Lan Xuanyu then began activation. His left hand shot up and a light blue vortex appeared in the air – a water vortex.

The 100-year Lava Hound pounced on the water vortex and the hot air on its body immediately turned into a huge amount of steam. A water vortex of this level was not enough to stop it, it couldn’t even alter its direction. However, this water vortex would react with the lava on its body and produce a large amount of steam, causing his senses to decrease substantially.

At the same time that Lan Xuanyu released the water vortex, he relied on the driving force of the water vortex to move his body sideways and swept past the pouncing attack of the 100-year Lava Hound. He also extended his right fist without hesitation and it hit the 100-year Lava Hound right at its waist.

The timing of this was very good; if he was slightly earlier, he might not be able to attack the correct spot and if he was any later, he might not be able to dodge.

“Ow––”

The waist area of the 100-year Lava Hound was badly injured. There were bone-crushing sounds and it was clear how strong Lan Xuanyu’s punch was.

His body swept outwards but Lan Xuanyu took the chance after the punch to pause, changed direction with the strength from his feet and chased after that 100-year Lava Hound quickly. He pointed with his left hand and an ice awl pierced accurately into the spot where he punched previously.

A 100-year Lava Hound was different from a 10-year Lava Hound, after all – they had an increased vitality so he definitely wouldn’t let this 100-year Lava Hound have another chance to attack.

The ice awl pierced the waist area close to its lower abdomen and caused it to howl in agony once again. Immediately after that, there was a “bang” and Lan Xuanyu detonated the ice awl in its belly. That explosion caused the 100-year Lava Hound to roll about, its internal organs tore and it seemed like it couldn’t survive anymore.

But it was only a short while and the other two 100-year Lava Hounds woke up from their daze. They were charging towards Lan Xuanyu and the remaining 30 over 10-year Lava Hounds were also adjusting their formation. They were about to charge towards Lan Xuanyu too.

His crisis was not over yet.

And Lan Xuanyu was already slightly exhausted at this moment. He was just a rank 14 Spirit Master after all and wasn’t even 8 years old – being able to kill a 100-year Lava Hound was already impressive.

I can do it! Lan Xuanyu told himself. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly and the blood in his body began boiling once again. He darted up like he was pressed down before and sprinted towards one of the 100-year Lava Hounds.

He must never let the two remaining 100-year Lava Hounds surround and attack him. He knew that he wouldn’t have a chance if that happens – no matter how he dodged, his speed cannot be compared to the 100-year Lava Hounds. Also, at the rate that his Spirit Power was depleting, he would be torn into pieces very soon. Hence, his only chance was to fight one off first then find another opportunity.

The 100-year Lava Hound that he was running towards let out a resounding roar and the remaining dozen 10-year Lava Hounds immediately charged in his direction.

Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath and increased his speed.

“Hu––” A fireball came his way and was only an inch away from him. Lan Xuanyu reacted immediately and used all his might to perform a flying dive roll to the side, only then did he manage to dodge it. The fireball landed on the ground behind him with a loud roar. At this very moment, that 100-year Lava Hound was only less than 20 metres away from him.

Lan Xuanyu pressed his left hand against the ground and while he bounced up, he sprinted towards the other party. He didn’t use any range attack because he must make sure that he still had some Spirit Power left.

In this battle, what surprised him the most was his strength; even he didn’t expect that he was so strong. With more strength, his speed naturally increased. Especially that punch which broke the lumbar spine of that 100-year Lava Hound – it gave him even more confidence.

He definitely couldn’t use Golden Dragon Soar right now as his body didn’t allow for it but this strength gave him some hope.

Both parties were very close and the other 100-year Lava Hound behind him was getting nearer too. There were also numerous 10-year Lava Hounds pouncing towards him from the side.

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes congealed – fight it out!

Get rid of this 100-year Lava Hound first no matter what.

With that thought, he didn’t hold back anymore. While he was sprinting forward, he played the same trick – he flung a water vortex from his left hand toward that 100-year Lava Hound.

But this 100-year Lava Hound wasn’t dumb at all. It stopped instantly and didn’t crash into the water vortex this time. Instead, it used its claw to block the water vortex. Steam still appeared but it wasn’t as thick as before – it couldn’t block its vision completely.

Seeing Lan Xuanyu running towards itself, this 100-year Lava Hound turned around and opened its mouth to bite Lan Xuanyu.

The heat that it emitted caused Lan Xuanyu to feel suffocated. When this 100-year Lava Hound used its full strength, the temperature around it raised to 70 or 80 degrees. This would affect the opponent drastically and they were better at close combat.

Lan Xuanyu clenched his teeth and squatted abruptly, dodging the bite from that 100-year Lava Hound.

The 100-year Lava Hound wanted to kick Lan Xuanyu to send him flying and not allow him near his waist area.

But at this moment, Lan Xuanyu did an astounding move. He suddenly squatted down and while avoiding that kick, he used the strength in his legs to reverse the previous momentum and jumped in the other direction, returning to that 100-year Lava Hound’s lower jaw.

This change displayed his exceptionally good fitness; it demands a lot of strength and flexibility.

It was without a doubt that this 100-year Lava Hound thought that Lan Xuanyu would use the same trick and attack its waist. However, that wasn’t where Lan Xuanyu was targeting at all from the very beginning!

An ice awl that was 1.5 foot long was formed and Lan Xuanyu transferred the ice awl from his left hand to his right. The golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass around his right hand glistened brightly and his entire arm appeared to become much stronger. He directly pierced through the soft skin at the lower jaw of the Lava Hound, going through its brain.

He had displayed speed, accuracy and aggression brilliantly. The ice awl was already very sharp, not to mention there was still the full force from Lan Xuanyu’s right arm.
