Chapter 55: Heavenly Fire vs. Heavenly Thunder

Stepping on the step, I immediately entered the state of meditation. This is the ability that every true Taoist should have. In the state of meditation, no external interference is allowed or received. Therefore, I don’t know Lin Chen’s progress in casting spells.

But I don’t need to know, because I will definitely be faster than him.

I must not make a mistake in each step of the step-gong, but the step-gong is simpler than the step-gong of the thunder-attracting technique. When I finished the last step of the step-gong and sensed the heavens and attracted the power of the stars, Lin Chen was still stepping on the step-gong.

He was in a state of meditation and didn’t know about my situation either. I guess he could sense it a little bit, but he would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood again. Obviously, I was the first to step on the Bogao, so why are you faster than me? Faster than me?

If that were the case, I would have won the match.

Of course, I was just thinking about it. When that mysterious power surged through my body, it was an indescribable comfort to my soul. Of course, there was also a sense of oppression brought on by the divine power. I immersed myself in the enjoyment for a second, and the next moment I began to move my hands in accordance with the incantation.

Unlike when lightning strikes, the temperature around me began to rise sharply, filled with a hot and dry atmosphere. But like lightning magic, as the caster, this dry heat did not affect me.

But when I cast the spell, everyone around me sensed it. Some people with extensive knowledge and high skill knew what I was going to do the next moment. Feng Wei looked at me with even colder eyes, and the old man who smelled shoes said, “I hope you’re not overestimating yourself.”

But when I was in meditation, these things passed through my eyes and ears, but not through my mind. This was a strange state, and I was not affected by anything.

Great magic requires the power of heaven and earth, using the spiritual awareness and soul power of the person as a guide to gather them and form magic spells. Therefore, the preparation time is quite long. When Lin Chen came out of the state of meditation in the step-up, he was also receiving the power of the stars, and my spell was just halfway through.

Lin Chen looked at me with a surprised, puzzled, and unconvinced look, and immediately began to pinch the thunder formula. Fighting magic is also a matter of time, and this is especially important. Of course, power is also essential, because small magic is short, but the power is small, and others can withstand it and continue to perform large magic. Once the large magic is successfully performed, you can’t stand it at all.

Perhaps Lin Chen thought that I was using a small technique, but my technique…

I closed my eyes and continued to pinch the magic formula, and the incantation became faster and faster. Perhaps Lin Chen sensed the speed of my magic, and inexplicably became a little anxious. He even spoke the incantation louder than I did, overpowering my chanting.

When people are anxious, their voices will involuntarily get louder. This is an instinct.

Lin Chen is a person with many thoughts, and he will not relax his guard just because I am suspected of performing a minor technique. So he was a little anxious, but this anxiety may also become the driving force for him to perform the technique.

Along with our chanting and incantations were the sounds of gasps from the audience. As for what they were talking about, I was so focused that I completely ignored it.

But can these people watching from the sidelines not exclaim? On my side, within a ten-meter radius centered on me, the temperature is rising rapidly, making people feel as if they were in the desert, while on Lin Chen’s side, as he cast his thunder spell, dark clouds gathered overhead, and a storm was brewing…

This strange scene often occurs in the summer, with the sun in the east and rain in the west. This time, it was because of the battle between the two of us that this scene was formed. How could the people watching not exclaim?

My chanting became faster and faster, and my hand gestures more and more complicated. The pressure in my brain from the meditation was reaching a critical point. After all, I was not using the technique of the lower world, nor was I relying on external forces. I was relying on my own power to support my spiritual power. Of course, my brain would experience this strange pressure. At this time, I had to be careful, or else my brain would explode.

But my powerful spiritual awareness helped me in the end. At this delicate moment, not a single mistake occurred. The originally diffused heat condensed and gathered together as I chanted the last words of the spell. At the most critical moment of the spell, when I was distracted, I quickly took out a bottle from my backpack. The bottle contained water, and the water was soaked with a talisman.

The spell continued, but I calmly poured out the water from the bottle and took out the paper. The heat became more and more concentrated, and the paper I had spread out almost instantly dried out halfway. In the next moment, when my spell stopped and the heat reached its peak, I quickly threw the paper out with a burst of strength. A strange thing happened. The paper floated in the air and burst into flames with a loud bang.

The high temperature in the air was suddenly ignited by the talisman, and it burst out like a mini dragon fire, then fell to the ground.

The five elements of the art of fire, the heavenly fire technique, has been successfully cast by me.

The venue was quiet, no one was talking, because everyone was immersed in the shock. The so-called insiders, not everyone is a highly skilled person. This legendary technique of summoning heavenly fire can only be successfully performed by the older generation. I never thought that a young person like me could perform it like this.

In fact, this is the power of our heritage, because this is the secret art of our lineage!

According to our records, in addition to hard-pulling the heavenly fire, there is also a trick to the heavenly fire technique. The trick is the talisman. Why do I need to soak the talisman in water? It is because there is a layer of white phosphorus on it, because white phosphorus can attract the heavenly fire. This is the secret!

The real heavenly fire technique is something that I can’t possibly perform. It requires a great deal of power to raise the temperature of the surroundings to a critical point, so that I can ignite flammable objects in the air and draw down heavenly fire. I’m still far from being able to do that.

I have been practicing this fire magic for a year, and I always have this talisman in my bag. I never thought it would come in handy here.

The fire dragon landed, and because it concentrated the fire power of the five elements, the fire was extremely fierce. When it landed, it burned fiercely on the ground. The real difficulty of the heavenly fire technique came when it was time to direct the heavenly fire to the target that needed to be burned!

Because the power of fire is not as concentrated as the power of thunder, this is a time to test one’s spiritual acuity. At the moment when my fire dragon landed, Lin Chen was still pinching the thunder formula. On his side, one drop, two drops of rain fell, and it seemed that the thunder formula was also about to succeed.

But I wasn’t worried about the rain. Those raindrops couldn’t extinguish the raging heavenly fire.

On the other side, the first to break the silence was the old man who smelled shoes. He muttered, “Although it is a trick, it is also extremely difficult.” This kind of old guy, even if he can’t completely crack the mystery, he can also see the trickiness of it.

Although the time required to cast the fire magic is shorter than that of the thunder magic, the requirements for power are not low, but even higher. What is more difficult is controlling the fire, which is only slightly more difficult than the thunder magic. The only thing that is better is that it is faster than the thunder magic.

I took advantage of Lin Chen!

Using my spiritual awareness to start a fire is my specialty. What seems like a difficult task to others is not too difficult for me. In the next moment, I concentrated my mind, and the fire that had fallen began to spread magically, burning straight towards Lin Chen.

“His spiritual awareness is outstanding. No wonder Jiang Lichun took this kid in.” The old man who smelled shoes was a waste of a Taoist priest. He should have been a football commentator.

When the heavenly fire burned toward Lin Chen, Lin Chen’s thunder art was not yet complete. After all, the thunder art without the help of any external forces is too laborious for the younger generation.

I precisely controlled the heavenly fire and stopped one meter in front of Lin Chen. I believe that he also felt the scorching heat. The power of the five elements of fire that I condensed was not too much, and it was enough for the heavenly fire to burn for three minutes.

I don’t know why at this moment, I didn’t choose to burn Lin Chen to death. Deep down in my heart, I probably couldn’t bear to burn a person alive like that.

So I shouted at Lin Chen, “Lin Chen, the outcome is already decided.”

At this moment, Lin Chen calmly opened his eyes and looked at me, then continued to pinch his thunder formula the next moment.

Big raindrops fell from the sky, corresponding to the raging fire on the ground. I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, and shouted again, “Lin Chen, the outcome is already decided!”

And the crowd was also shouting, Lin Chen, you lost.

Even the old shoe-sniffing referee and Feng Wei stood up and shouted, “The outcome is already decided!”

But Lin Chen did not stop pinching his fingers. At the same time as the supervisors of the two organizations shouted, he finally completed the thunder formula!

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and two seconds later, a bolt of lightning fell straight at me!

I could no longer hold back, and my spiritual awareness loosened slightly, and the heavenly fire also engulfed Lin Chen!
