Chapter 297 The Third Stage: Challenging Oneself
The little fire dragon stared wide-eyed at Wu Heyi's current appearance. He saw that Wu Heyi's whole body was filled with the power of fire, and the fire seemed to have its own life force, dancing wildly around his body.
Especially at the end, Wu Heyi exuded a faint dragon's might. Although this dragon's might was not strong, it made the little fire dragon, who was the fire clone of the nine-headed dragon, feel a special affinity, as if there was some kind of mysterious connection between them.
However, Wu Heyi's gesture really gave people a very punchable feeling, which was a provocation to Xiaolongren. Xiaolongren's personality is straightforward, so he acted decisively without even making any preparatory movements.
It's as if they're showing that they won't drag things out and are going to give this provocateur a hard time.
"Come on, take this punch! Fire Dragon's Heavy Punch!"
The little dragon roared, and his fist, as big as a sandbag, was quickly enveloped in fiery soul power, which seemed to have a physical form.
In an instant, it transformed into a ferocious fire dragon with bared fangs and claws, crashing fiercely down towards Wu Heyi's position with a whistling sound, its momentum like an overwhelming tidal wave pressing down on Wu Heyi.
However, Wu Heyi stood there confidently, without even trying to dodge, a faint smile on his lips, quietly watching the Flame Dragon Man's attack come.
He held up two fingers, which looked ordinary, but at that moment they seemed to possess infinite magic.
Wu Heyi shouted "Scatter!" at the Flame Dragon Man. This simple word was like an irresistible command.
The flames that had been enveloping the little dragon's fist and looked raging suddenly dissipated in an instant, like soldiers obeying a command. The remaining flames flickered gently in the air, posing no threat whatsoever.
The little fire dragon's eyes widened in surprise at this moment. After all, it was a genuine fire-attribute dragon. From the moment it was born, fire was its specialty. It could use fire to stir up storms, attack enemies, and protect itself. But one day, it was being so easily controlled by someone else. Its fire was like a toy in someone else's hands.
Surprised?
Wu Heyi's face was full of mockery. He said smugly:
"The ultimate fire possesses the ability to control all flames! You little flames are no match for me."
At the same time, Wu Heyi deftly and swiftly took out his Flaming Bow, his movements light and quick, as if he had done it countless times before.
Then he drew his bow and shot arrows, one after another flaming arrows whistling towards the little fire dragon. The arrowheads flashed with dazzling red light, and the tails of the arrows trailed long fiery tails, like small shooting stars falling from the sky.
Wu Heyi instantly gained the upper hand and completely suppressed the Flame Dragon Man.
The Flame Dragon's reaction speed was actually very fast; his body moved nimbly like a whirlwind.
No matter how many arrows Wu Heyi shot, even if they were as dense as raindrops, they could not hit him in the first moment. The arrows could only graze his body or land on the ground around him.
"Flame Domain." Wu Heyi snapped his fingers lightly, as if he had turned on some mysterious switch.
The arrows that had missed the Flame Dragon Man seemed to be drawn by some kind of gravity, quickly enveloping him in a strange shape, as if weaving a cage of fire around him.
At the same time, Wu Heyi unleashed the flame domain of his Flame Dragon Armor, which was equivalent to a Soul Emperor level weapon.
As the area expanded, a powerful sense of oppression spread.
The flaming arrows that had landed earlier seemed to be injected with new energy, and their firepower increased dramatically. They connected with each other, transforming from scattered individuals into a sea of fire and a wall of flames.
The wall of fire was tall and thick, with flames burning fiercely, distorting the surrounding air as it was baked.
"In my domain, the temperature of all flames will increase tenfold."
Wu Heyi's voice rang out coldly amidst the howling flames.
A slight breeze swept by, and although it was only a gentle breeze, it was like a gust of wind that fueled the flames controlled by Wu Heyi.
The wall of fire that enveloped the little fire dragon instantly transformed into a fire tornado tens of meters high, as if by magic.
The fiery tornado spun and raged, with the heat at its core increasing tenfold, reaching unimaginable levels, as if the surrounding air was about to melt.
For the first time, the little fire dragon felt like he was being melted by someone in this fiery tornado. He felt as if his body had been placed in a huge furnace, and the intense heat was almost unbearable, making his body weaker and weaker.
Just as the Flame Dragon was preparing to unleash a powerful attack to counter the attack...
Suddenly, a fiery slash flew towards him without warning, catching him completely off guard.
The fiery blade appeared to be extremely hot, and the light emanating from its blade was incredibly dazzling, like a bolt of lightning falling from the sky.
In just a moment, it cleaved the little fire dragon in two with unstoppable force.
But because the sword technique was so fast, like a bolt of lightning, the little fire dragon didn't even have time to react. The moment he did, the voice from the first floor of the Divine Tower rang out.
"Round 2, match over, Wu Heyi wins!" The voice echoed, breaking the previous tense atmosphere.
It was only at this point that the Flame Dragon realized what was happening.
"No, your strength isn't that of a Soul Emperor, but a Soul Saint!"
The little fire dragon's words were filled with disbelief and sudden realization.
"Hmph! You're trying to take shortcuts. Even if you get past me, you'll never get past the third stage!"
At this moment, the Flame Dragon Man finally understood the true extent of Wu Heyi's strength!
Although he was very angry, he could only obediently abide by the rules, and at most he would just argue a bit more.
After confirming that Wu Heyi had recovered his strength, he raised his hand to enter the third stage.
The little fire dragon began to burn intensely, and then soon changed its appearance.
"The third stage, overcoming yourself, begins!"
Only then did Wu Heyi realize that the person in front of him was another version of himself!
"Hmph!" The little fire dragon snorted disdainfully, its eyes seemingly burning with two small flames. "You're trying to take shortcuts. Even if you get past me, you'll never get past the third stage!"
At this moment, the little fire dragon was filled with contempt and resentment towards Wu Heyi.
After the exchange, he finally understood the extent of Wu Heyi's strength.
This Wu Heyi always tries to use tricks and unorthodox techniques to score points in battle, which is extremely dishonorable in the eyes of the Flame Dragon Man.
Although the little fire dragon was very angry, he could only obediently abide by the established rules.
After all, the rules were like an invisible mountain, pressing down on him and not allowing him to overstep them in the slightest.
At most, he's just like a child, taking advantage of the rules to argue a bit more.
His cheeks were bulging out, like a small balloon filled with air, which looked quite comical.
After confirming that his strength had been restored, Wu Heyi took a deep breath, clenched his fist, as if to encourage himself.
Then, he slowly raised his hand, his determined gaze seemingly piercing through the thick fog ahead, and then he entered the third stage.
The little fire dragon suddenly began to burn fiercely, the flames roaring like a howling wind.
The raging flames enveloped him completely, their brightness almost blinding. Then, after a short while, as the flames gradually died down, he appeared completely different.
"The third stage, overcoming yourself, begins!" A majestic voice resounded in the open space.
Wu Heyi's eyes widened at this moment, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he realized that the person in front of him was actually another version of himself.
That other self, in terms of appearance, demeanor, and clothing, was almost identical to Wu Heyi, like a mirror reflecting the truest self deep within Wu Heyi's heart.
