Lightning and Blazing Flames

In the discourse arena everyone noticed something, apart from the rumbling thunder that keeps on streaking from the horizon they noticed multiple yellow petals falling from the sky, as they fell on the ground the wind would swept them revolving around the two combatants in the middle.

"Hey, what is that?" An onlooker leaned forward as he observed the yellow petals.

"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen that type of petals." The girl beside shook her head, she remained silent as her eyes revealed a sparkling lustre, "I'm not sure what it is but it's beautiful."

There were only few people present that weren't shocked aside from the Nura Clan there's only Xiao Juetian, Chu Yueli, Xia Qingyue and Setsura; the rest were filled with awe.

Wu Feiran's eyes at this moment didn't contain the awe that the onlookers had experienced, the pressure coming from Rihan is increasing as time passed, he couldn't understand why he's being suppressed when both of them is currently in the same cultivation because of the special rule.

He was hoping that they could decide the result in one clash; he doesn't care whether it would end in Victory, defeat or tie.

The cultivators of Thunderbolt Mountain rarely fought long battles, they are known for winning a fight in one strike with their speed.

Everything is decided in one attack, it follows the concept of sword drawing skill on Earth. (Battoujutsu)

This is the first time he fought in a battle that wasn't decided in one attack.

There's only one reason; his opponent doesn't want to end this yet. But why?

"Don't daydream in a fight while finding an answer; the harder you try to search, the harder it is to find what you're looking for." Rihan looked at Feiran with his amber eye that's filled with wisdom, "Deal with the situation first before you think of the answer."

Rihan stomped his foot as a huge shockwave blew Wu Feiran a few meters away.

Feiran was dragged back to reality as he stabilize his footing while staring at Rihan, calming his heart he took a deep breathe, "Sigh, it seems like I overestimated myself."

He closed his eyes as he threw his other sword away while putting the other one back to it's scabbard; he spread his legs as he put his hand on the sheath while his other hand was positioned just above the sword handle.

The air around him suddenly changed.

The cultivators from Thunderbolt Mountain recognized this form, it was none other than their secret skill; Heavenly Lightning Sword Strike.

It is a technique that was developed to allow a cultivator to defeat his opponent in a flash, to strike a single blow with the ignition of immense speed and agility from circulating their lightning arts.

Though Wu Feiran's words sounded disappointed earlier his eyes is telling a different story; he was excited. Facing an opponent much stronger than himself.

The clouds darkened while the roar of thunder resounded in the entire place. It's like a symbol that a powerful storm is coming.

"This is one of our secret profound skill."

A thick thunderbolt struck Wu Feiran; his entire body glowed while his hair stood up swaying back and forth. He gazed at Rihan with his sharp eyes, Rihan doesn't need to stretch his imagination just to know his opponents thoughts.

Wu Feiran plans to end this battle in one final attack.

Cracking his neck Rihan smiled towards his opponent, "As a symbol of respect for challenging me without fear, I shall let you witness something I learned recently."

In the next moment, the wind force howled, the previously beautiful yellow petals were ignited as it turned into red flames. The time seemed to stop at this instant as the people standing close to the tenth discourse arena felt the scorching heat coming from the revolving petals.

The tenth discourse Arena has been split into two surging powers.

Everyone present has totally forgotten the other battles on-going as their eyes remained rooted on the tenth discourse arena.

No one paid any attention to the other participants who were trying their hardest to show off their skills, they turned into a side-show.

Truly a pitiful sight.

Chu Yuechan was also impressed by the situation in the arena.

A young man who discarded his advantage for the sake of improvement is as rate as the feather of a Phoenix. Most of the youngsters nowadays like showing off their Cultivation level.

Skills and Cultivation are two different things, the level of Cultivation can only allow a person to use a high-leveled skill.

If both party fall into the same cultivation level, the winner would be decided by their skills.

The other one is emanating a domineering aura like an angry lightning God while the other is oozing with Blazing Flames like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment, looking like the God of Blazing Flames.

Their aura alone proves their identity as the leading members of younger generation.

Hannya glance at Fen Juechen who was currently observing the battle whilst trembling; no one knows what he currently feels as his expression can't be seen.

'Life really is a mysterious thing. Each and every life spins its own, totally separate tale, yet they become intricately entwined in each other. And no one knows how they will end up.' Hannya thought as he remembered the tale of this unfortunate young man.
