Panlong's Transcendental Fire

Chapter 31 The Battle of the Holy Land

After immersing himself in reading numerous manuals in the library, Lin Tian felt his understanding of the profound mysteries of the fire elemental laws deepen. Afterwards, Lin Tian went to Laun's residence to find Potter and Laun.

When Lin Tian arrived at Lawn's residence, Potter and Lawn were chatting and drinking tea in the courtyard. Upon seeing Lin Tian, ​​Lawn smiled with satisfaction: "Lin Tian, ​​you've come. After this period of contemplation, your understanding of the profound mysteries must have reached a new level."

After bowing respectfully, Lin Tian said, "Teacher Lao En, I have indeed benefited greatly this time. I have gained many new insights into the profound mysteries of the fire elemental laws."

A glint of light flashed in Laun's eyes as he said, "Very good. However, theory is no substitute for practice; only real combat can truly test your understanding. How about we have a spar? I'd like to see your current strength and hope you can gain more from the battle."

Lin Tian readily agreed: "Then please enlighten me, teacher."

Upon hearing this, Potter, who was standing nearby, also became interested: "In that case, I'll join in and exchange a few blows with you. This old man wants to see just how much you've grown, Lin Tian."

The three arrived at a spacious training ground, the surrounding air seeming to heat up with the impending battle. Potter, a fire-element warrior, launched the first attack. He moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing before Lin Tian, ​​his longsword blazing with flames, imbued with immense battle aura, and pierced towards Lin Tian like a red lightning bolt. This strike embodied Potter's unique understanding of the profound mysteries of fire-elemental laws; the flames on the sword leaped and roared, attempting to engulf Lin Tian.

Lin Tian remained calm. He could sense the power of the sword strike, but felt no fear. Just as the sword was about to pierce him, he slightly shifted his body, deftly dodging Potter's attack like a wisp of smoke. At the same time, he extended his right hand, condensing a ball of flame, which he flicked towards Potter with a peculiar trajectory. This seemingly random flame flew precisely towards Potter's sword, attempting to disrupt his attack rhythm.

Seeing this, Potter secretly praised Lin Tian's quick reaction. With a flick of his wrist, his longsword drew an arc in the air, changed direction, and slashed towards Lin Tian's palm. At the same time, his battle aura erupted even more fiercely, and flames spread along the sword, forming a wall of fire that rushed towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian did not back down. His gaze was resolute, and his magical power flowed within him. Flames surged around him, making him seem to merge with the flames. Suddenly, he flashed and charged directly into the wall of fire. Inside the wall, parts of Lin Tian's body transformed into fire elements, skillfully weaving through the flames and avoiding Potter's attacks.

Laun watched from the sidelines, utterly astonished. He knew that being able to transform parts of one's body into elements was something no ordinary Saint-level cultivator could do; Lin Tian must have a profound understanding of the mysteries of the fire element. Seeing Lin Tian effortlessly handle Potter's attacks, Laun was filled with mixed emotions.

Then, Raun, as a fire-elemental holy mage, joined the battle. He swiftly formed hand seals and chanted, "Fire element, heed my call, condense into the power of destruction, Blazing Meteor!" Instantly, several enormous, burning meteors appeared in the sky, hurtling towards Lin Tian with a whooshing sound. Each meteor contained immense magical power, scorching and distorting the air in its path.

Lin Tian felt immense pressure from the sky and dared not be careless. He continued to contend with Potter while simultaneously dealing with Laun's magical attacks. He concentrated, once again unleashing the profound mysteries of the fire element, his body moving as nimbly as flames, weaving freely through the gaps in the meteor shower. At the same time, he didn't forget to counterattack, his hands flashing, unleashing streaks of fiery sword energy towards Potter and Laun. These sword energies left scorching trails as they sliced ​​through the air.

Seeing Lin Tian's ability to handle such a fierce attack with ease, Potter gained a new understanding of Lin Tian's strength. He roared, channeling his battle qi to its limit, transforming himself into a giant torch. He unleashed his signature technique—"Flame Dragon Slash"—and a colossal dragon formed from flames flew from his sword, roaring as it charged towards Lin Tian. This flame dragon was incredibly lifelike, its flames seemingly capable of incinerating everything.

Not to be outdone, Lauen immediately unleashed "Flame Prison," countless flames erupting from the ground and quickly enveloping Lin Tian, ​​forming a massive fire cage. The flames within the cage churned and rolled, attempting to trap Lin Tian inside and gradually shrinking in size, trying to burn him.

Despite being under a double attack, Lin Tian remained calm. He knew he couldn't panic; he had to find a way out. He closed his eyes, sensing the flow of fire elements around him, silently communicating with the fire element in his mind. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them. The flames on his body shone brightly, and he partially transformed into fire elements once more, merging with the surrounding flames.

Within the fiery prison, Lin Tian moved like a ghost, easily deflecting the attacks of the Flaming Dragon Slash. Taking advantage of the moment the fiery prison contracted, he found a weak point, his body transforming into a streak of fiery light as he burst out of the prison.

Immediately afterward, Lin Tian launched a counterattack. He waved his hands, and instantly, countless fiery blades appeared in the air, flying towards Potter and Laun. These blades were extremely fast and contained powerful magic; wherever they went, the air hissed as they were cut.

Potter and Laun quickly activated their defensive techniques. Potter raised his longsword, his battle aura forming a sturdy fire shield in front of him, blocking most of the fiery blades; Laun, on the other hand, cast a "Flame Barrier" to protect himself within it. However, Lin Tian's attack did not stop there.

He once again unleashed the profound mysteries of the fire element, his body transforming into a burning flame as he charged towards Potter. The instant he approached Potter, parts of his body transformed into fire, piercing through Potter's fire shield and appearing before him. Potter was startled and hastily swung his sword to defend. But Lin Tian's attacks came like a whirlwind, skillfully utilizing the properties of the fire element to make his attacks even more unpredictable.

Meanwhile, Laun continued to unleash magical attacks, attempting to disrupt Lin Tian's actions. However, Lin Tian seemed to be fully aware of his surroundings, skillfully dodging Laun's magic while engaging in close combat with Potter.

The battle lasted for some time; Potter and Lawn used every trick in the book, but they couldn't defeat Lin Tian. Finally, the three of them stopped what they were doing.

Potter looked at Lin Tian with admiration in his eyes: "Lin Tian, ​​you little guy, your strength has really impressed me. In the battle just now, your use of the profound mysteries of the fire element was superb. You were even able to transform parts of your body into elements. This level of skill has probably reached the limit of the Saint Realm."

Lauen nodded and said, "That's right. I have never seen a Saint-level expert who is so proficient in the mysteries of the fire element. Lin Tian, ​​your understanding of the mysteries far surpasses that of your peers. Given time, becoming a god will not be a difficult thing for you."

Lin Tian said modestly, "Grandpa and Teacher Lao En are too kind. I have also gained a lot from this battle. Through actual combat, my understanding of the profound mysteries of the fire element has become deeper, and I also realize that there are still many areas where I need to improve."

Potter encouraged him, "Lin Tian, ​​keep up the good work. With your talent and understanding of the profound mysteries, your future achievements are limitless. Do you still need to find more people to fight? While we're at Vulcan Mountain, I can find some Saint-level experts of similar strength to spar with you."

Lin Tian thought for a moment about what he had gained in the battle and said, "Is that alright? Then I'll have to trouble you, Grandpa."

Potter patted his chest and said, "No problem. What are the requirements for the participants in the sparring match?"

Lin Tian replied, "If possible, it would be best to comprehend the profound mysteries of the fire elemental laws in the Sacred Domain. I want to witness the application of different profound mysteries of the fire elemental laws."

Potter laughed heartily, "There aren't many other sacred domains with profound laws on Mount Vulcan, but there are plenty of fire-type sacred domains. Come on, come with me."
