The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 85 — Annual Match of Mofa Forest (8)
Lian Huanran immediately dodged the fireballs that shot towards him nimbly. Then Lian Huanran stuck out her palm, the roots of the plant emerging from Lian Huanran's palm. The roots of the plant immediately shot out toward the Griffin!
Unexpectedly, Griffin did not dodge, but fluttered his fire-producing wings, to burn the roots of the Lian Huanran plant. Lian Huanran paid no heed to the roots of the plants that were about to burn out by the Griffin and followed up using one of the techniques from the Hell Fire Arrow Scrolls, the Blue Fire Arrow Technique.
In a short moment, Lian Huanran shot an arrow coated in blue aura towards Griffin, but unexpectedly Griffin did not dodge and instead suddenly shot towards Lian Huanran! Seeing that, Lian Huanran quickly moved.
Naturally, Griffin would not let go of Lian Huanran. First Griffin made a shield from his fire element to block the blue aura-coated arrows of Lian Huanran. Then Griffin let his fire element wander into the circle arena so that the temperature became so hot that it was unbearable. Although it was still not as hot as the temperature of Lian Haocun's fire.
Due to the hot temperature, Lian Huanran's sweat flowed more profusely and his focus became somewhat disturbed. Lian Huanran looked at Griffin who was still floating in the air with the intention of releasing the fireballs again.
Unexpectedly, Lian Huanran pointed his arrow up the sky while chanting spells to use the 'Thousand Arrows Technique Down from the Sky' from his Arrow Skill Book. Instantly the sky within the circle arena was filled with arrows that looked somewhat transparent! The arrows began to shoot sharply down, like a rain of arrows.
Lian Huanran formed a circular umbrella from the roots of her plants to protect her from the rain of arrows. While Griffin made a fire shield to protect him from the rain of arrows, although some arrows still managed to pass through the shield and made Griffin suffer quite terrible scratch injuries
Griffin stared intently at the arrow-maker who was filled with sweat and wagged his wings while shrieking sharply towards the sky! The rain of arrows ended up being replaced by rain of fireballs.
Lian Huanran enveloped his entire body with Spiritual Qi to reduce the impact if he was hit by fireballs and used plant roots to rain block the fireballs from Griffin.
But since the fireball can burn the roots of the plant, Lian Huanran had to spend enough mana to dispel the rain of Griffin fireballs.
Although there were some fireballs that escaped and gave Lian Huanran a burn, and burned some parts of Lian Huanran's clothes so that Lian Huanran's clothes became tattered. Lian Huanran paid no heed to her clothes and multiplied her plant roots! Immediately dozens of the roots of the plant shot rapidly towards the Griffin that was in the air.
Griffin burned some plants intending to bind him and also directed some fireballs towards Lian Huanran. The fireballs were perfectly avoided by Lian Huanran, as well as the Griffin, not a single root of the Lian Huanran plant had managed to bind it, but unexpectedly, it was not, there is one hidden root of the plant that Griffin is unaware of!
The roots of the plant quickly bound Griffin and pulled him down, Griffin reacted very quickly, in an instant he burned the roots of the plant with his fire element! While Griffin focused on dealing with the roots of the plant, Lian Huanran used the Blue Lotus Arrow Technique!
Lian Huanran directed his arrow coated in ice aura up above the sky. Unexpectedly, the arrow came to a stop at a high enough point before it turned into a beautiful blue lotus flower! Immediately the ice-covered arrows shot down from above the sky!
Griffin instantly realized what was happening and formed a powerful flame shield, but unexpectedly the hail of ice-covered arrows was stronger than the previous rain of arrows. After holding back about three ice-coated arrows, the Griffin's fire shield was destroyed!
After Lian Huanran used one of his strongest techniques, the Blue Lotus Arrow Technique, Lian Huanran gasped for breath and had to stack his hands on his knees so as not to fall. After all his previous matches consumed energy, Spiritual Qi and mana Lian Huanran.
Plus some injuries from the previous match and the additional burns caused by Griffin's attack made Lian Huanran have to exhaust his Spiritual Qi so that his injuries did not get worse.
Long Yuan explained in a somewhat frantic tone, “It was ‘Shock Paralysis'! The natural skill of the Griffin magical beast. It's dangerous...!”
Lian Haocun responded with a brief nod and returned focus to the match, but unbeknownst to anyone, his eyes became colder and sharper.
Long Yuan, “...” At least you should show your worry for your twin sister ah!!
Then Long Yuan returned his focus to Lian Huanran's fight while suppressing the feeling of worry and anxiety in his heart.
The Griffin that was in the air, made an enormous fireball with its beak. Then the fireball shot out at a speed visible to the naked eye towards Lian Huanran!
Reflexively, Lian Haocun who saw him took out his sword and intended to rush into the circle arena. But the rat who had been watching, unexpectedly stopped Lian Haocun and said, “You are not allowed to interfere.” While staring at Lian Haocun sharply.
Lian Haocun paid no heed to the rat and intended to directly pass the rat, but something unexpected happened making him stop his actions.
As Lian Haocun was being blocked by a mouse, the enormous fireball drew closer to Lian Huanran. Lian Huanran enveloped his entire body with Spiritual Qi, in order to reduce the impact of the fireball, but Lian Huanran started to be unsure that it would be of much use.
Lian Huanran was filled with fear, despair, anxiety and panic even some bad thoughts started popping up in his mind.
Lian Huanran muttered little, "Am I going to die here?"
‘No! Nah! I still haven't saved Master from that Demon General!’ Lian Huanran continued in his mind.
Suddenly the temperature around Lian Huanran's surroundings became extremely hot, but it wasn't because of Griffin's fireball. It was the suddenly heated environment that stopped Lian Haocun from saving Lian Huanran.
Long Yuan who was intending to save Lian Huanran secretly, was surprised by the suddenly drastically increased temperature, ‘What is this?’ Inner Long Yuan wondered. So subconsciously Long Yuan kept silent on the spot and observed the situation.
The attention of Lian Haocun, Long Yuan, Chao Bence, Bai, Cheng, Rat, Griffin and the entire crowd of magical beasts stopped on Lian Huanran. In an instant the wounds on Lian Huanran's body healed. Lian Huanran felt his drained spiritual energy and Qi slowly recovering. Lian Haocun instantly realized, it was a sign of the resurrection of the elements.
‘Wah, it's the first time I've seen it live.’ Chao Bence said with a relaxed face while holding his chin.
Long Yuan thought, ‘Don't Huanran have awakened the wood element?’
