Chapter 72: (1): Levels of Techniques and Spiritual Arts

Long Xuan covered his face and swiftly approached the battlefield. Once he was a certain distance from the eagle flock, he waved his palm in the air, flames swirling around his palm, creating a long trail of fire. After gathering his strength, he struck the sky with a powerful blow.

"Blazing flame Palm!"

With a loud shout, a sea of fire spread instantly, engulfing the entire sky. The flames ignited the sky, forming a massive burning cloud.

The entire eagle flock was enveloped in the sea of fire, and the air was filled with the screams of black eagles.

Below, everyone felt a sudden wave of heat, and the brightness of the flames made it difficult for them to keep their eyes open.

They saw something falling from the sky like dumplings, some landing among the crowd, some among the wolf pack, causing the ground to tremble.

Everyone was stunned.

Before they could react to what was happening, a huge wave of fire rose from the ground, swallowing the wolf pack in an instant, accompanied by the howls of wolves.

In just a moment, the entire ground was covered in a sea of fire, so large that the wolves had nowhere to escape.

At that moment, both the sky and the ground were filled with fire, the heatwave was overwhelming, and everyone was sweating. As soon as the sweat appeared, it was evaporated by the intense heat.

Everyone was gasping for breath, as if they were suffocating.

After his last battle, Long Xuan had realized the shortcomings of this move. So, after improvements and rigorous practice, he could now perfectly control the attack range of his Blazing flame Palm without injuring his teammates.

But even so, the flames, despite not touching them, made them feel like they were being roasted.

If the people on the ground felt like this, it was even worse for the wolves trapped in the sea of fire.

As the screams gradually weakened, the ground was left with charred wolf corpses, emitting a burnt smell.

Everyone stared in shock and disbelief at the scene before them.

Do not think that spiritual beasts, covered in fur, are extremely afraid of fire and catch fire easily.

It is not like that at all. Fireball techniques are among the most basic abilities, and anyone can release a fireball, but can it set a spiritual beast on fire? Far from it.

Both Gu practitioners and spiritual beasts can attach spiritual power to their bodies, forming a spiritual power shield, called spiritual armor.

Gu practitioners' spiritual armor can effectively prevent others from casting Gu on them, and spiritual beasts' spiritual armor can also block fire and other conventional damage.

So ordinary flames are completely ineffective against spiritual beasts; otherwise, this beast tide wouldn't be so hard to deal with. Wouldn't a fire attack wipe them all out?

But this sea of fire was completely different. Not only was it incredibly large, but it could easily burn through the spiritual armor of spiritual beasts.

In the face of such power, the numerical advantage of spiritual beasts was useless. Unless the spiritual beasts were of a high enough grade, they would all die in a sea of beasts.

Lei Yun swallowed heavily. Spiritual arts, body techniques, and techniques are divided into human, spiritual, earth, and heaven levels.

What should have been a hard-fought, prolonged battle was easily resolved with a few palms?

And the eagle king's head showed no external injuries, yet it mysteriously died without a scratch. It was a bizarre death.

Could this palm technique be another heaven-level spiritual art? Does he have a wholesale supply of heaven-level spiritual arts? Lei Yun thought, utterly shocked.

He was about to speak but was stopped by Long Xuan's outstretched palm: "No need to thank me or ask my name. I never leave my name when doing good deeds."

Lei Yun's open mouth froze, leaving him bewildered.

Not leaving your name when doing good deeds is a traditional virtue, worthy of praise. But if you don't leave your name, you don't leave your name. What do you mean by taking the eagle king with you?

The eagle king was clearly killed by the two of them together. Even if they were to divide the spoils, it should be split evenly.

Everyone knows that the eagle king has a high drop rate and could produce peak-grade spiritual insects, and its entire body is worth a fortune.

Is it really okay to put it in your storage bag so openly?

Lei Yun wanted to speak but refrained in the end.

Forget it! After all, he is my lifesaver. I won't argue with him. Let's consider it as repayment for saving my life!

Could I really start a conflict with a mysterious person over this?

Lei Yun thought helplessly.

Seeing Long Xuan take the eagle king's body and leave the battlefield without any intention of helping further, Lei Yun's lips twitched. Is he just here to grab and go?

He seriously doubted whether this person came to save them at all. This person’s target was entirely the eagle king; they just happened to benefit from it.

He was bewildered, but after a moment of confusion, he turned back to the battlefield to help his teammates deal with the remaining peak first-rank spiritual beasts.

Although the mysterious person didn't continue to help, Lei Yun believed that with their combined strength, they could handle the remaining spiritual beasts, albeit at a significant cost.

Meanwhile, Lei Guang, hiding behind a boulder, watched the scene with a pale face, his clenched fists trembling. Finally, he slammed his fist into the boulder.

"Damn it! Meddlesome!"

He glared fiercely at Long Xuan's departing figure, his face contorted with rage, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

In the end, he got up and followed the person who ruined his plans...
