"Just a little longer, just a little longer!" Flal looked at Ye Ruozai, who was suspended in mid-air, channeling all his energy to cast ti pausing magic, hoping to delay until the Elf ssenger he summoned adapted to the energy fluctuations of the Daoist Realm to unleash the final strike.
However, it seed that everything and everyone in the cornerstone plane were against him. Previously, Ye Ruozai, who could be repeatedly immobilized, now only slightly stalled in mid-air. As soon as a bit of white light appeared from the hand he was pressing against his chest, his body regained freedom, and he moved forward again under Flal's horrified gaze.
"There's sothing wrong with that hand! Damn it! Why didn't I notice the strange gesture earlier?" While secretly blaming himself for his carelessness, Flal rapidly retreated, frantically casting magical attacks to block Ye Ruozai's advance.
In the face of the dazzling attacks coming at him, Ye Ruozai neither retreated nor dodged. He opened his mouth, and the energy attack that had been brewing in his abdon for a long ti shot out forcefully. A pale blue light column swept all the magic attacks away and pierced straight through Flal's body.
"Did you think I swallowed all your magic attacks for nothing!" Ye Ruozai, knocked back over ten steps by the recoil of the energy attack, dashed forward again in a few quick strides to stand before Flal as soon as the energy stopped blasting without waiting for his buzzing brain to clear.
"Ti reset." Flal had just finished a ti reset and his shattered body had just been restored when Ye Ruozai charged at him. In a panic, Flal quickly shielded his vital points, ready to forcefully perform another ti reset. However, Ye Ruozai's attack didn't aim at these vital spots but targeted Flal's wrist, which he had been subtly weakening. The longsword flashed a cold light, followed by a spurt of blood.
"Ah!" A piercing scream ensued as both of Flal's palms flew high. Before they hit the ground, Ye Ruozai leapt into the air, grabbed the ring-bearing palms, and kicked them into his arms, ignoring the bleeding wounds.
"Die!" Roared Flal with eyes ablaze, sealing the space around Ye Ruozai. He triggered the two coordinated elental spirits to attack Ye Ruozai.
With nowhere to hide, Ye Ruozai plunged his longsword into the ground, closed his eyes, cald his mind, and extended his arms to welco the two attacks aid at him.
At that mont, blinding light interwoven with ice and fire shone on the stage. Positioned at the storm's center, Ye Ruozai's figure was swallowed by the dazzling radiance. Even Pei Yan, who had great confidence in Ye Ruozai, couldn't help but feel anxious and moved closer to the arena's edge, hoping the left eye CCD might capture so assurance about Ye Ruozai's safety.
It was no wonder he was so worried. Although Pei Yan didn't care about common fire and ice damage, and he believed Ye Ruozai could evade it too, this attack, filled with the Power of Origin, transcended physical harm and couldn't be judged by the logic of the cornerstone plane. Pei Yan himself would be extrely cautious facing such an attack.
Fortunately, to his relief, at the center of where the two beams of light t, Ye Ruozai's diminutive yet steadfast silhouette stood firm!
The elves' attacks were fierce yet brief. They didn't seem to follow Flal's command entirely but had rely reached so agreent with him. After firing off the attack, they showed no interest in the result, turning to leave through the previously opened space rift without a backward glance.
Steam rose, veiling the scene on stage after the interwoven ice and fire attack. Observing the arena's defense array still intact, everyone knew the battle wasn't over. The first to erge from the mist was Flal, restored to normal, his face pale, staggering out of the fog. He gestured, and a fierce wind from his blood-soaked sleeve quickly dissipated the fog, revealing the other contestant.
Ye Ruozai, no longer unruffled as before during the attack, had one arm badly burned, emitting steam, and the other coated in frost, exuding cold air.
"You're still alive? You survived two energy attacks!" Flal looked at the swaying Ye Ruozai incredulously. "How did you do it?"
"The only thing that can resist energy attacks is energy! Don't you even understand that?" Ye Ruozai took a deep breath, exhaled the fire and ice energy accumulated in his chest, and tried to reach for his longsword but found his frozen right hand wouldn't bend. Reluctantly, he switched, enduring the burning pain, drew the sword with his left hand, and pointed it at Flal mockingly.
At that mont, Flal suddenly recalled the scene before the tournant started, where Pei Yan subdued Shitang Longsi in one move, realizing, "You have the sa Power of Origin as Pei Yan. Just now, when you pressed your hand on your chest, you neutralized my ti control with that Power of Origin!"
Outside the ring, Pei Yan also understood Ye Ruozai's thod, simply puzzled, "But how can Old Ye use the Purification Devouring Power on the battlefield? Is his state of mind that much higher than mine?"
"Ah, it's true that his mindset is easier to achieve peace, but that's not the real issue!" Lin Junzhao began to explain as he noticed Pei Yan's confusion. "Didn't I tell you before? He has an advantage in using this Power of Origin because of his ability, the Abilities Recycle Bin! This ability can originally seal a certain ability or magic of the person he touches, just not as strong without my power. So in the past six months of training, besides full-scale combat and physical training, I focused on rging this Power of Origin with this innate ability of his. The resulting effect is that while the power and effect are weaker than pure Power of Origin, the harsh conditions of solo release are gone. As long as he applies the Power of Origin to his dual-ability hands, most attacks he touches can be neutralized."
Lin Junzhao, looking at Ye Ruozai standing in the ring, sighed, "As for the drawbacks, they exist; firstly, the energy consumption is quite large, that's why Ye Ruozai didn't always use it before. The second is that when combating attacks from sources of equal power, the effect weakens significantly. You can see this from the extent of his arm injuries."
