Chapter 61: Use the man's own methods against him!
The stadium was now packed with people, with hundreds of spectators crowding the area.
The reason for the extraordinary level of excitement surrounding this match is naturally due to the gathering of five heavyweight figures from the "Ten Elders" on the sidelines!
The old master Zhang Zhiwei, old master Lu Jin, and Feng Zhenghao all focused their attention on the calm young man in the center of the room.
They were very curious about the extent of this mysterious young man's strength.
What strange techniques will they use to deal with the successors of the Fire Virtue Sect?
Lu Ci and Wang Ai, those two deep-thinking old fellows, were drawn over by the actions of the Old Celestial Master and Lu Jin.
The fact that these two people personally came to watch a preliminary round means that this seemingly ordinary young man is definitely not simple!
It should be noted that the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is being held simultaneously in four large venues with hundreds of participants, each of whom is a top performer carefully selected from various schools and sects.
The fact that these two people are paying so much attention to it speaks volumes.
"Haha, senior brother,"
Sitting in his wheelchair, Tian Jinzhong looked at Lu Xiaobai in the audience and couldn't help but chuckle, teasing the old master beside him: "Wasn't this the little guy who shaved off a huge clump of your beard back then?"
His shout immediately made the old master blush, looking slightly embarrassed.
Lu Jin used to make fun of him a lot back then.
"Great, Jinzhong!"
The old master pretended to be angry, but laughed and retorted, "You're exposing my shortcomings in public, aren't you? Fine, you'll have to push the cart back yourself later. I won't take care of you!" Although it was a joke, it also revealed the deep friendship between the brothers.
"Oh?" Lu Jin, who was standing to the side, immediately caught the key information.
He looked curiously at the old master and Tian Jinzhong: "What, you two know that child too?"
He remembered that Lu Xiaobai had only recently returned to China, so it was impossible for him to have any dealings with this old guy.
Just thinking about how the old Celestial Master returned from a trip abroad with half his beard gone...
Could it really be that this kid did it?
Lu Jin recalled Lu Xiaobai's carefree manner when they first met and suddenly felt that this was very likely.
At this moment, the old master was also surprised: "What, you know him too?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's face immediately lit up with a smug look, and she boasted as if she had received some treasure, "Haha, it's more than just knowing them!"
He carefully took out the string of warm, jade-like Buddhist beads he wore close to his body from his pocket and deliberately waved them in front of the old master.
"See this? This precious magical artifact of mine was made for me by that little guy himself!"
Looking at the obviously extraordinary Buddhist prayer beads, and then thinking about his own beard that had been singed off years ago, the old master's face instantly darkened even more.
Well, now that old bastard Lu Jin has another reason to make fun of him!
The atmosphere inside the venue was somber.
Chen Sanyi and Hu Xueling, who were in the same group, exchanged a glance and then cautiously moved closer to Lu Xiaobai, eventually standing side by side with him.
Clearly, in their eyes, the person who could attract the attention of half of the Ten Elders circle to watch the battle was definitely not Lu Xiaobai, who looked young and outstanding but was not famous, but the "Little Fire God" who was famous throughout the entire world of supernatural beings!
"My two friends!"
The beautiful young woman, Hu Xueling, lowered her voice and said in a conciliatory tone, "The opponent is the Lesser Fire God of the Fire Virtue Sect. None of us can defeat him in a one-on-one fight. How about—the three of us join forces? Let's get rid of him first?"
Chen Sanyi, dressed as a Taoist priest, nodded solemnly, his gaze fixed on the increasingly powerful Little Fire God not far away, clearly acknowledging the joint plan.
As for Lu Xiaobai, who looked the youngest and even somewhat "harmless," they naturally categorized him as a teammate.
Before Lu Xiaobai could even agree or refuse, the two unconsciously took half a step forward, subtly blocking Lu Xiaobai's path, adopting a posture of protecting the "warlock" in the back row—after all, no matter how you looked at it, Lu Xiaobai's slender figure didn't seem like the type who was good at close combat.
"Pfft—Hahaha!"
Xu Si, who was in the spectator area, burst out laughing when he saw this scene, and almost slid off his chair while clutching his stomach.
"Oh my god! I can't believe it! This is hilarious!"
He never expected that the "jinx" who was known as the "magician" in the foreign supernatural world and caused headaches for countless forces would be treated as a harmless little brother next door by other contestants when he returned to China and changed the venue!
The stark contrast almost made Xu Si laugh so hard he almost choked.
Zhang Chulan, standing next to him, also looked speechless.
He had originally planned to put on a show of "borrowing the tiger's might" and "winning by sneak attack" in the upcoming matches, gradually portraying himself as a weakling who only knew how to use underhanded tricks.
Surprisingly, some people don't need to pretend at all; they are born with an aura of "harmlessness"!
Of course, this misunderstanding only exists at the level of ordinary people with supernatural abilities.
If it were someone of the Ten Elders level, or a sharp-eyed and knowledgeable young expert like Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, or Zhuge Qing, they would not be fooled by this simple appearance and would be able to vaguely perceive the true things hidden beneath that calm exterior.
"Tsk!" Zhuge Qing slightly opened his narrowed eyes, looking at Lu Xiaobai, who had maintained an almost "clear" state throughout the entire process.
Neither the opponent's powerful aura, the tense approach of his teammates, the gaze of the big shots on the sidelines, nor even the clamor in the stands seemed to stir up the slightest ripple in his eyes.
He was like a bottomless pool, calmly reflecting everything around him, yet remaining steadfast himself.
This absolute, undisturbed tranquility startled Zhuge Qing: "Completely unmoved by external things, maintaining an almost ethereal calm from beginning to end—this person is no ordinary individual."
The moment Zhuge Qing finished speaking, the situation on the field suddenly changed!
It was Little Vulcan who launched the first attack!
"Drink!" With a roar full of fighting spirit, the little fire god's body instantly burst forth with a blazing red light!
Violent flames erupted from his body like living things, frantically condensing and compressing on his fists!
The astonishing heat distorted the air, and two enormous fireballs, each the size of a boulder and radiating blinding light, suddenly formed in front of him!
"Blazing flames engulf the heavens!"
With bloodshot eyes and an indomitable spirit, the little fire god thrust his fists forward without hesitation!
The two fireballs, each the size of a boulder and containing explosive power, hurtled towards the three people standing side by side opposite them, like burning boulders launched by a catapult, carrying the force to incinerate everything and a rolling heat wave!
Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, Chen Sanyi and Hu Xueling's expressions changed drastically!
That terrifying fireball, the size of a boulder and capable of incinerating everything, was simply beyond their ability to withstand!
"Get out of the way!"
Chen Sanyi let out a low roar, reacting extremely quickly.
He turned his feet quickly, his body sliding to the side like the wind, and at the same time, he swiftly pulled out a yellow talisman from his pocket, and without even looking at it, slapped it onto his crossed arms as he was blocking!
The talisman instantly glowed with a layer of earthy yellow light, as if covering his arm with a layer of hard rock armor, attempting to withstand the aftershocks of the impact.
Hu Xueling let out a sharp cry and quickly formed a hand seal in front of her chest.
A chilling aura emanated from her, causing the moisture in the air to condense instantly!
A thick, icy shield, its edges still condensing ice crystals, instantly formed in front of her, its surface shimmering with a crystal-clear luster, attempting to withstand the oncoming wave of destructive heat.
On the other hand, Lu Xiaobai —
He remained standing in place, his gaze unwavering, calmly watching the two massive, rock-sized spheres of fire, radiating an aura of destruction, hurtle toward him like out-of-control lava chariots!
It was as if the attack, which was powerful enough to incinerate everything, was nothing more than a warm breeze blowing in his face.
Rumble—!!!
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire venue!
Two enormous fireballs collided violently and exploded where Lu Xiaobai and his two companions had originally stood!
The raging flames, like a crimson beast breaking free from its restraints, instantly expanded and devoured the area!
The scorching heatwave, like a real tsunami, swept in with a deafening roar. The shockwave even made the faces of spectators closer to the venue feel hot and their hair seem to be curling up!
Blinding flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed, completely obscuring everyone's view.
Flames raged and surged wildly in the center of the arena, engulfing everything and making it impossible to see what was inside.
"Wow—that's powerful!"
"It's over, this is it—"
"The Little Fire God truly lives up to his name! That opening scene—"
A collective gasp and a sigh of regret rose from the audience. Many even thought the fight might have ended with that single blow.
The paramedics on the sidelines instinctively gripped the stretcher handles, ready to rush in and rescue people at any moment.
The little fire god who launched this earth-shattering attack is now in a powerful finishing pose, his fiery energy slowly receding, and a proud smile of certainty on his face.
Clearly, he had absolute confidence in the power of his all-out attack!
However, just as the flames raged and the smoke billowed, and everyone thought the first round was over, a calm, almost indifferent voice clearly pierced through the crackling of the flames, coming from the very heart of that crimson inferno:
"Fireball."
call-!
The moment the sound fell, a condensed, almost tangible, fist-sized fireball, radiating astonishing heat and blinding light, suddenly tore through the churning flames and thick smoke like a cannonball!
Its speed was several times faster than the giant fireball that Little Vulcan had previously unleashed!
With an all-seeing precision, it sliced through the scorching air, coldly returning the same trajectory to the little Vulcan who was still posing and whose smile had not yet faded!
What?!
The smug look on Little Vulcan's face froze instantly, and his pupils contracted to pinpoints!
The fireball that came towards him was small, but it made him feel a deadly threat!
too fast!
It was so fast that there was simply no time to make any effective defense or dodge!
boom!!!
Another violent explosion!
However, this time the center of the explosion was the location where Little Vulcan was!
The fireball, the size of a fist, unleashed terrifying energy far exceeding its size the instant it touched his body!
The crimson flames instantly engulfed him completely! A scorching power, even purer and more violent than the flames he had just unleashed, completely overwhelmed him!
He barely had time to let out a short, horrified groan before he was completely engulfed by the raging flames and blasted away.
At this moment, only deathly silence and the sound of burning flames remained on the field.
