"Tch. Still big mouth as usual? I wonder where you get that confidence when you last ran away like a scared dog." Tian Yin clicked his mouth mocking Xika.

"really? As I remember the last time you didn't dare kill me. Wh why? Don't have the balls?"

A BLAR!

Tian Yin immediately swung his hand and created a huge burst of flames towards Xika. Unfinished, he formed some hand movements then re-created a burst of water that this time came from behind Xika.

The coverage of the two bursts was wide enough that wherever Xika stepped she would definitely be affected unless she stepped near Tian Yin. But Xika would not do that. As the spectators were looking at him curious as to how he would deal with this combined attack, Xing Xika simply stayed in place without moving at all.

WHUSHES!

MY SHUR!

SRASH!!

The collision between the burst of fire and water caused a fog that filled the arena. On the side of the arena, only Tian Yin was staring at the fog cynically. But he did not sit around waiting for the outcome. He widened his palm then made a movement as if grasping something.

Many of the spectators did not understand what Tian Yin was doing. They wondered at each other until finally some disciples from the big sect explained.

"Basic fool. You guys don't get it? Tian Yin deliberately created a burst of two elements from two sides so that Xika could not dodge anywhere. Then the result was a fog as we see it ourselves today. The fog of course contained water, which was one of the elements that Tian Yin was good at.

While at this moment Xing Xika was trapped in that mass of fog, then Tian Yin made a gripping move. Do I need to explain what happened?"

"Don't tell me....he intends to squeeze Xika using the entire fog?" ask one of the spectators. While the disciple from the big sect just twisted his matan as if it was an obvious thing.

The audience that supported Xika shuddered in horror when it realized that their idol was being squeezed by the collection of fog. While Huo Bing who heard the conversation earlier only snorted disdainfully. Stupid, if Xika could lose so easily like that, how could she possibly win against Han Feng, he thought.

The fog surrounding Xika started to change. But unexpectedly, after a while there were no cries of pain as the Tian Yin supporters expected.

"What's going on? I thought Tian Yin squeezed Xika using that mist? Why no screams?"

"Eitherway. I thought the same thing."

Tian Yin himself narrowed his eyes. Clearly he had already controlled the fog to grab Xika. There was no way he could fail to control the fog unless there was someone stronger who controlled the fog.

By the time Tian Yin realized this, the fog surrounding Xika had already started to move, but it did not move as he wished. The fog swirled even faster before a figure of a man was seen inside. The man showed a faint smile at a glance before swinging his arm.

Simultaneously with the arm swing that Xika made, the swirling fog shot rapidly towards Tian Yin.

Tian Yin was startled, yet he was called Genius Number One not without reason. Although he did not expect Xika to be able to reverse the mist like that, he managed to create a fire shield around him.

But apparently, the power brought by the fog was stronger than Tian Yin expected so that it caused him to crash backwards.

Not yet able to land, dozens of wind blades appeared around Tian Yin and targeted his vital organs.

"SLOW! How dare that smelly brat target our Young Master's vital point!" one of the elders who came shouted angrily at Xika's actions.

But the elder was instantly silent when the Chief of the Sky Devouring Castle raised his hand. Without needing to talk, the elder understood the meaning of the gaze of the old man. If Tian Yin couldn't withstand such an attack, he didn't deserve to be called the Number One Genius of the Lin Dynasty, let alone as the son of the Sky Devouring Castle Leader.

"Curtain!"

Tian Yin twisted his body and formed a fire barrier around him. The wind blades collapsed instantly and made the fire barrier he formed blazing even bigger.

Taps!

Tian Yin landed safely while staring intently at Xika. This boy was different from the boy he fought last time.

"Hey.......wouldn't I look wrong? The Xing Xika who was only at the Qi Forming was equivalent to Tian Yin?"

"Basic fool. Both of them don't know."

"Ck ck ck. The exchange of attacks they had conducted from there had not involved any qi at all. They're just fighting over their understanding and control of the elements."

"Hm. But, isn't that what it means in terms of Xika's control and understanding comparable to Tian Yin?"

"Looks like. In this case I agree that Xika is more genius than Tian Yin. But the true power of the two is still hidden."

"Heh, stupid. You want to trap me in a fog that has the element of water? You forgot I mastered the four elements?  Water is one of them. Oh, and I also use the wind as an additional mover."

Some quite smart spectators understood why Xika won in the control fight against Tian Yin.

"So Xika used two elements to control the fog earlier so that she could defeat Tian Yin who only used one element? It's the same as a lie."

The spectator who supported Tian Yin insulted Xika and did not consider her winning against Tian Yin in a control fight because she used two elements. However, Tian Yin himself knows best that even if Xika does not use the wind element and only collides with the water element, he will still lose. Goddamn bum!

"Keep bragging like that. Who was the last time bragging using the four elements but ended up exhausted?"

"Just calm. This time I'll make sure I hit you first before I run out of qi."

Shuts!

THE DUAK!

Tian Yin darted quickly and kicked Xika right in her stomach, but Xika managed to cross her arms and resist the Tian Yin kick, even though she remained dragged for several meters. Xika had even managed to coat her hands with the earth element in that short period of time, but she still felt the pain from Tian Yin's kick.

Without giving a pause, Tian Yin charged back. This time he enveloped his hand with the fire element and floated it towards Xika. Not intending to retreat, Xika also did the same and smashed her burning hand towards Tian Yin's hand.

A fistfight ensued for a while before ending with Xika's defeat being pushed back by several meters.

"Pfttt. You see that? Xing Xika foolishly fought Tian Yin with her bare hands let alone with the same technique. He clearly lost!"

Huo Bing observed the fistfight that had occurred earlier. Xika's control over fire was in no way inferior to Tian Yin, perhaps even slightly surpassing her. However the qi supporting the fire was clearly weaker since Xika was only in the Qi Forming.

"Hey, if it's like this, isn't the only way to compensate Tian Yin is to combine the four elements like before?" huo Bing asked Heiliao who was sitting next to him.

"It's best that he doesn't use that technique or that Tian Yin will learn a new technique" Heiliao said without taking a look.

"What a max-" Huo Bing's words came to a halt instantly as he realized what Heiliao meant. Previously, when fighting Han Feng, Xika managed to equalize the strength by combining the four elements into one.

It was actually a pretty good and effective way, let alone to fight Han Feng who only mastered the fire element. Unfortunately, it could not be used against Tian Yin, as Tian Yin mastered two elements.

Tian Yin got the title of genius not without reason. One of them must be because he can learn things quickly. If Xika showed her the four elements combined technique, then Tian Yin would also definitely learn about it. Although it was not comparable as it only combined two elements, but Tian Yin's cultivation base was higher than Xika's. Combined four elements though only able to rival Low-Jack.

If Tian Yin who was in High-Jack combined both elements, it was certain that his strength would be multiplied and Xika would be even harder to defeat him.

Unfortunately before Huo Bing could warn, Xika had already used the technique. After all, it was only a technique that he could use to cover up the difference in strength.

Xika clenched her hands then once again clashed fist with Tian Yin. Only this time his fist contained not only the fire element, but a combination of the four elements. Still less indeed, but this time Xika only took a few steps back, not a few meters.

"Oh? Your fist just now." Tian Yin smiled as if he had gained enlightenment yet still with his sinister cruel glare.

"Dickhead......"

And that was what Huo Bing feared.

In front of the entire audience, Tian Yin brandished his hand which had now been coated in a combination of fire and water.

"More or less like this......."
