Chapter 649 - 472: Facing the Divine (Part 2)
The group turned around and was surprised to find Wu Guinan standing at the back, holding his phone high, taking a group photo with the fire skull.
Li Pu was standing next to him, even making a casual victory sign with an expressionless face.
If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t touch the phone, he would have done it himself.
"Is this really okay?"
After taking the photo, Wu Guinan checked it.
"Should be fine, we got the team, the throne, and the fire skull."
"No one said it had to be sitting on the chair."
Li Pu nodded.
Listening to the two’s discussion, the group from Imperial University was all stunned.
These two from Xidu University are truly talented!
Come to think of it, it kind of makes sense!
Now that the task is completed (?), there’s no need to further entangle with this alien entity that blurs the line between friend and foe.
"Since that’s the case, then farewell, friend."
Long Ren was great at playing along with Li Pu and directly made a gesture of farewell to the fire skull, quickly signaling everyone to leave with his eyes.
[Wait, don’t hurry to leave]
However, the fire skull didn’t seem willing to let everyone leave so easily.
Buzz...
As soon as its words fell, the surrounding scenery actually began to twist.
The walls of the castle disappeared in the distortion, and the environment everyone was in completely changed.
In just a breath, they found themselves in a sea of fire.
The fire sea surrounded them in a circular open space, its flames were red with a tint of golden yellow, far exceeding the ferocity of the City of Eternal Fire, the towering flames even obscured the sky, leaving only the ground beneath them as the only safe place.
"..."
Li Pu watched this scene, unable to help but fall silent.
Because he knew, this was not an illusion.
Just this move alone proved the other’s strength.
He was more perceptive than the other students present, detecting the subtle change in the fire skull’s aura the moment the fire sea appeared.
This guy is very strong.
Strong to what extent.
The strongest he had encountered so far, whether human, summoned beast, or monster.
Covered in flames, with an exceedingly powerful aura.
These two labels simply resemble his grandfather.
But even his grandfather, the old immortal who has lived for over two hundred years, has an aura far inferior to this.
Combined with the so-called self-proclaimed Fire God, he understood he was indeed facing someone not to be trifled with.
He remembered Li Fan once explaining that gods don’t only manifest on Blue Star.
It means their manifestation in a small alternate reality, like a dungeon, attached to something, is not impossible.
[The new body feels a bit uncomfortable, could you accompany me for some training]
The words of the fire skull seemed to further confirm Li Pu’s guess.
"This..."
The other’s request left the students somewhat perplexed.
Even if they weren’t as perceptive as Li Pu, they knew the opponent wasn’t someone they could handle.
Sparring?
It doesn’t sound malicious, but if it comes to actual fighting, who knows what could happen.
[Don’t worry, children]
[I’ll only use 0.001% of my power]
The fire skull noticed everyone’s hesitation.
Actually, this skeleton could withstand or express power to this extent.
Yet even at this extent, it was enough to torment all the monsters in the City of Eternal Fire.
Precisely because it couldn’t find opponents, it became interested in Li Pu and the others.
"Senior, are you really a god?"
At this moment, Gu Zhe suddenly asked.
[Of course, haha]
The fire skull laughed again, only this time paired with the displayed power, it seemed a bit frightening.
"If it really is an alternate reality god, then maybe there’s nothing to fear."
After receiving a definitive answer, Gu Zhe turned to the group and lowered his voice.
His family once had a champion card player who played cards with gods, so he had some understanding of gods.
It’s said gods have a rule that they won’t interfere with non-divine beings, no matter the occasion or place.
"It means we definitely won’t be killed by it, at most made into cripples, or made to wish for death."
After hearing this explanation, Li Pu offered his interpretation.
"..."xN
While that’s correct, why does everyone feel it sounds more terrifying?
"Can the fire pincers scorpion revive?"
Seeing everyone silent, Li Pu looked at Long Ren again.
Fire pincers scorpion: Damn, I beg you to act like a human.
"Let my fire spirit go first."
Upon hearing Long Ren’s negative response, Qian Shanshan volunteered bravely.
Elf fire element, unafraid of fire attribute influence, strong in individual combat ability, strong in resistance against attacks.
And also the summoned beast can revive, indeed it is a very suitable choice at the moment.
This proposal received everyone’s approval.
So the elf fire element was dispatched and came alone before the fire skeleton.
"Ka ka ka, a fire elf, interesting, interesting."
The fire skeleton rubbed its chin, scrutinizing the summoned beast in front of it.
"Burn, burn, burn!"
The elf fire element let out a mighty shout, but in action, it bowed respectfully towards the opponent.
There was no help for it; it didn’t want to.
But somehow, facing this fire skeleton, it produced an irresistibly unyielding feeling.
"Switch opponents, you are unsuitable."
The fire skeleton seemed to disregard the elf fire element, flicking its fingers at it.
Poof!
Then everyone saw the elf fire element... was completely extinguished.
Clang!
Only a black, hard core fell to the ground.
"Hiss!" xN
Most people present gasped on the spot.
What’s going on!
A flick in the air, and the elf fire element was instantly killed?!
It’s known that its overall combat power ranked within the top ten of the summoned beasts of Imperial University’s freshman class.
Yet in front of this fire skeleton, it couldn’t withstand even 1 second?!
"This is completely different from what you said..."
Qian Shanshan looked at Gu Zhe, her face full of questioning.
Wasn’t it said to not interfere with life, and here it instantly wiped out her summoned beast. How can this be explained?
"Burn, burn, burn!"
Before Gu Zhe could respond, the voice of the elf fire element suddenly rose from the scene.
Everyone followed the sound and realized its core had rekindled flames, restoring its original form.
Not only was it restored, but its flames also carried a tint of golden yellow, like the surrounding sea of fire.
"It, its grade has risen! A+!"
Two seconds later, Qian Shanshan exclaimed.
"Ka ka ka, it’s fateful to meet me."
"Giving you a chance of fortune."
It was evident that the elf fire element’s grade enhancement was attributed to the fire skeleton.
Everyone exchanged glances, all stunned.
Is it truly an extraterrestrial deity?!
Is it that powerful?
Is it really granting such formidable power with a mere wave of the hand?!
It’s known that Qian Shanshan’s summoned beast was already of a Grade A quality, and to enhance it to A+, this is simply a dream come true.
If one can further advance a bit, that would reach Grade S!
"Burn, burn!"
Having received the benefits, the elf fire element acknowledged being unfit as an opponent for the fire skeleton, thus bowed again and retreated.
"Ka ka ka, how about it?"
"If you defeat me, you can receive even greater benefits."
The fire skeleton crossed its arms, looking at the crowd.
Granting luck to the elf fire element fully demonstrated its friendliness.
"Let me!"
Wang Fengmang’s eyes revealed sharpness, dispatching the blue wave water element.
A few seconds later, he knelt on the ground.
"Wave in the wave!"
"My Langlang’s grade has dropped! Damn!"
"Sorry, I hate water the most, ka ka ka."
Everyone: "..." xN
Both the elf fire element and blue wave water element couldn’t withstand even a move or half a move before the fire skeleton.
This made them thoroughly doubt, is this guy really overwhelmingly strong?
"I don’t believe in this."
But Long Ren still wanted to try.
In his view, was it possible that sending two elemental creatures consecutively just happened to encounter the opponent’s restraining means.
Besides, his half-dragon man had the fire attribute magnetic field. Who knows if he could gain anything from the opponent?
"Dragon come, come Dragon!"
In the crowd’s gaze, the half-dragon man warmed up and took the stage.
