Chapter 105 : Lin Fan VS Su Yan ( Part 1 )

"... " - Lin Fan and Su Yan cautiously stared at each other, clearly unable to act carelessly since their opponent was formidable.

Su Yan was the strongest disciple in the High Heaven Pavilion, as she was in the 3rd Stage of the True Element Realm, while Lin Fan was in the 1st Stage. Although he was inferior to Su Yan in terms of Yuan Qi, as a Favored Son of Heaven, he had many ways to make up for this slight difference in Yuan Qi. For example, a secret technique that allowed him to temporarily increase his Yuan Qi, or the quality of his Yuan Qi was superior. He also trained his body separately, which gave him the ability to face someone with more Yuan Qi than him.

Not only that, but the Purple Heart Sect specialized in mental attacks, and Lin Fan was a Core Disciple of the Purple Heart Sect, meaning he had a high understanding and mastery of these skills.

As expected, Su Yan made the first move, sending several ice spears toward Lin Fan, who gripped his ancient sword tightly. Despite his strength, he couldn't take this battle lightly.

"... " - Lin Fan gazed at the ice spears and didn't hesitate to use his movement skill, Sword Steps, skillfully avoiding the attack without much effort.

Upon seeing how Lin Fan dodged the attack, Su Yan's cold face couldn't help but frown slightly in dissatisfaction. Although she had expected this, seeing the nonchalance on Lin Fan's face still annoyed her somewhat.

'Annoying...' Su Yan thought, and soon ice spread from beneath her feet, enveloping the entire arena in the blink of an eye. Numerous ice spikes emerged from the ground, attacking Lin Fan.

'Damn...' - Lin Fan could only curse in his thoughts, as Su Yan's speed in spreading the ice had caught him off guard. He had no choice but to cover himself in flames to protect himself from the cold, and without hesitation, he flew into the sky to avoid the ice spikes, as it was too late to use Sword Steps.

"Flame Tsunami!!" - Lin Fan shouted as he raised his sword above his head, sending a powerful slash that attacked Su Yan with a wave of flames resembling a tsunami.

Lin Fan's attack was incredibly strong, instantly melting the ice in the arena and causing the temperature in the main hall to rise significantly. Many disciples who couldn't bear the heat had to use Yuan Qi to protect themselves.

As for Su Yan, being a user of ice techniques made her more sensitive to fire techniques. Not to mention that she was the closest to Lin Fan's attack, and she couldn't help but furrow her brows, using ice techniques to maintain her body temperature.

"Ice Coffin!!" - Seeing the terrifying power behind Lin Fan's attack, Su Yan didn't hesitate to use Ice Coffin, a sealing technique used to imprison enemies, but it was also used defensively due to its impressive defensive strength. Moreover, she could dispel it with a mere thought, so there was no reason not to use it.

In the next moment, ice enveloped Su Yan like a coffin, giving her the image of a sleeping beauty encased in ice, leaving many spectators outside the arena stunned by her timeless beauty.

'Seeing her use the sealing technique this way is interesting,' - thought Yu Tian as he stared at the ice coffin with interest. He hadn't thought that there were multiple ways to use a single technique and had to admit that he had been limiting himself too much by trying to adapt to the new world's rules. He ended up strictly adhering to the common knowledge, forgetting how to be creative with what he had.

Thinking this, Yu Tian couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling enlightened. Many ideas came to his mind that he wanted to try immediately, but he resisted, as now was not the right time.

Boom*

With a loud explosion, the battlefield turned into a sea of flames, but the Ice Coffin remained intact without showing any signs of melting. Meanwhile, the Elders had to reinforce the barrier around the arena, as it would have shattered from Lin Fan's attack.

Although Lin Fan's attack was extremely powerful, it consumed a lot of Yuan Qi to maintain. Even with Lin Fan's Yuan Qi reserves, which surpassed those of people at his level, he couldn't sustain the attack for long. The flames soon receded and disappeared. While Lin Fan could have broken the Ice Coffin if he had continued maintaining the sea of flames, it wasn't in his favor to do so. Even if he managed to break the Ice Coffin, his Yuan Qi reserves would be depleted when Su Yan emerged, leaving him like a fish on a chopping board.

Crack*

Crack*

Crack*

With a crisp, resounding sound, cracks began to appear on the Ice Coffin after the flames subsided, bringing with them a wave of cold air that turned the hot atmosphere into a frigid one.

"... " - Although Su Yan hadn't been directly hit by Lin Fan's attack, her pale face and irregular breathing indicated that she had expended more Yuan Qi than expected to fend off Lin Fan's previous assault.

But this applied to Lin Fan as well, as he had used more Yuan Qi than anticipated in his previous attack, and his breathing was also irregular.
