395 THE MARTIAL COMPETITION-The opponent this time was a member of the flame halls. The avatar came forward and greeted her, and she replied politely.
” I am Loraine from the Flame halls.” The judge came forward and announced the beginning of the competition. The re[presentations were looking at the stage with apprehension. The avatar was another one of the dark horses which appeared in the tournament and the audience was apprehensive regarding his performance against a genius of the flame hall.
Long Tao managed to improve his efficiency at handling hell energy, but he never managed to understand how the denizens of this world were able to formulate similar laws to the ones at Qi continent while having such a diverse set of energies within their bodies.
He wanted to understand the core difference between Qi and nether energy in general. A realization like that would improve his comprehension of both kinds of energies and even help him drastically boost his strength at any level.
He decided to use the opportunity to spar with the members of top forces in the nether plane as a yardstick to try and measure the difference. He had previously managed to integrate the Thunder Fist technique with nether energy. This time he wanted to use the special technique that he had learned from the Pill valley.
It was a special technique called Infernal Flame Arts. It was an art that spanned through cultivation levels. His master was the one who gave him this art and it had three parts. The first one was something that Qi Kings could practice. the second part was for Qi Emperors, while the third one was for Qi Monarchs.
He got the last part when he stepped into the realm of peak Qi Kings. The head of the valley along with his master and the master of the ten families were all at peak emperor level now. Their cultivation had halted due to the war, and now each one of them was experiencing an outburst in their strength. The best results were obtained by none other than his master who was just a step away from Qi Monarch.
Long Tao was sure that he would be able to step into the Qi monarch level before he leaves for Royal Road. His master was happy with his progress and rewarded him with a third party. Little did any of them know that Long tao had received the entire art from the Pill Saint’s legacy.
Infernal Flame Arts had a total of seven parts. From Qi King to emperor to Monarch to Dominator to Half-saint to saint and finally god. This is one of the core arts of the force to which Pill Saint originally belonged and he only possessed the first six parts. Pill Saint was kicked out of the force before he could realize the last part, yet he devised that anyone who reached level 6 should be able to force his way into the force to get the last part.
.....
This was one of the reasons why Long tao decided to combine Nether/Hell energy with the art to formulate an entirely new set of arts. The versatility and the depth of knowledge that went into the creation of this art made it easy for people like Long tao to integrate a new type of energy into it.
“Please add another task to my to-do list. I would like to completely merge Nether Energy and Infernal Flame arts, level by level as my comprehension in these began. Once that is done, I would like to integrate world energy into it. IF the experiment is successful, I think we will have a new set of art in the Dominator Records.” Long Tao said to the Keeper.
Even after using an avatar just to research martial arts within the artifact, the Dominator Arts still came third in the line of this strongest art. he wanted to eventually formulate the strongest set of martial arts by himself. Only through achieving that would he be able to defy and rule over the heavens itself.
Once the avatar began to conjure flames fueled by nether energy, Loraine did the same. She was surprised that her opponent was a flame element cultivator just like herself, yet her pride didn’t allow her to think well of this situation. She was one of the representatives of the biggest flame element sect of this area. if she lost this fight, it would lose face for her hall in front of the public.
“I have heard about the genius from your Flame Palace. Isn’t she the one who was accepted by the Violet Flame matriarch as an inheritor to her Violet Fire Art’s inheritor? She is known to be one of the strongest existences in the Flame halls. How would this boy defeat someone like her.” One of the representatives spoke.
” We never know. What if the results are similar to Hun Chunglie’s case? the dark horses this time are quite talented. I am sure many forces in and around the area are dying to recruit them into their ranks.” Another one interjected.
Silence befalls the entire pavilion. they had never thought about this scenario. it was too uneven. If Loraine is defeated by a brat of unknown origins, it would be shameful for all the top-tier forces participating in the event.
“Violet Flame Conjure.” Loraine conjured an entire battle suit made up of Violet colored fire.
“Violet Flame Splitting Whips.” two whips were conjured in either hand of Loraine as she rushed towards the avatar.
“Infernal Flame Shield.” The avatar conjured a shield out of Nether energy fueled flame. Although the quality of the flames was lower than the ones used by Loraine, his huge supply of nether energy made up for it.
The avatar also conjured flames in his fists and attacked Loraine with them. A dance of flames began in the middle of the field. One Violet and one red began to clash against each other. Both would switch between offensive and defensive strategies.
The violet flame whip was a unique art created by the violet Flame matriarch to fit her fighting style. It requires the user to have an extremely flexible body along with thin stature and the ability to burst with speed momentarily. This was the first time Long Tao was forced to draw by an opponent of the same realm as him. The reason was the versatility of the art itself, and the ability of Loraine to switch in between the type of attacks she could execute.
When both of them reached a standstill, Loraine looked at him with surprise and then smiled.
“Shall we switch it up a gear?” The next moment Violet Fire burst out of the whips, blasting the entire area.
