Towards Eternity
Ch 465's. Two Contrary Elements, Phoenix Flame Against Pure Ice
If fire and water meet each other, it is clear that the fire will be extinguished and lost, but vice versa.
Water evaporates after putting out the fire because of the heat from it, which makes fire and water can not defeat each other, unless there is a big difference in attack from one of these elements.
This was evidenced by Lin Mei's victory against a participant who had the water element, and fought quite fiercely with him in the selection round yesterday.
But it did not last long after she used her Phoenix flames which had a much hotter temperature than ordinary flames. Before the water could extinguish her, her Phoenix flames would first evaporate the water, so it didn't take long for Lin Mei to win from her opponent back then.
Unlike fire and water, the Phoenix Flame and Pure Ice belonging to Lin Mei and Weng Ning were different things.
If fire and water were to knock each other down, then the Phoenix Flame and Pure Ice would repel each other, without any one of them being affected.
This information was unknown to the crowd, as the Phoenix itself had long since gone extinct on Black Sand Island, so not many knew how powerful the Phoenix flames were.
On the other hand, Weng Ning's Pure Ice was also extremely rare along Black Sand Island. Because, this Pure Ice was formed due to the merging of two Dantians that became one in a person's body since he was born.
Ice is not a liquid object like water, so it will not evaporate if exposed to fire, especially Pure Ice which does not contain any water element in it.
At this moment, Lin Mei and Weng Ning were two participants whose elemental elements they were completely incompatible with each other.
***
In one of the audience seats in the Arena Matches, a young man in his early twenties was sitting with several people dressed as guards to his right and left, as well as his front and back.
On the guards' clothes was a red Phoenix emblem on their left chest. Meanwhile, on the back of the clothes of the young man who was with the people was the emblem of the Phoenix in golden color.
The young man lazily looked at the figure of Lin Mei who was in the arena at the moment.
"My little brother seems to have started to grow up apparently" said the young man.
He then glanced towards Weng Ning, and it was seen that his facial expression became interested.
"Let's see, how far you've progressed, my brother. But well.I wouldn't expect too much, after all you haven't even been able to heal that wound on your face, so there's no way you've had any significant strength development" continued the young man.
Back on top of the arena, it was Zu Zhang who made sure Lin Mei and Weng Ning had been completely prepared to fight this time around, finally starting the fight of the two of them.
"The first fight, the second stage of the semifinal round, Weng Ning against Lin Mei, begins!!!"
After he exclaimed, Zu Zhang immediately jumped high into the air before floating still above the air.
Simultaneously, the figures of Lin Mei and Weng Ning who had taken distance from each other previously by 50 meters, both darted forward and launched an attack of their own.
Both Lin Mei and Weng Ning hands were both moving fast and forming quite complicated hand patterns.
"Breath Fire!!"
Just when their distance did not reach 10 meters, Lin Mei stopped her steps and then exhaled a large amount of fire from within her mouth.
Seeing that, Weng Ning immediately stopped doing his hand pattern, then then stomped his left hand on the ground.
PRACK!!!!! BSSBJHH!!!
A wall of ice immediately came out from the ground and then held back the flames that were moving towards it. The burst of flames was held back just like that by the ice wall created by Weng Ning.
However, from above the ice wall, Lin Mei's figure appeared with her right hand raised upwards, and dozens of burning orange-colored fireballs appeared above her.
The fireballs that were on top of him were quickly moving towards Weng Ning who was below Lin Mei.
Even so, Weng Ning did not panic at all. He calmly poured Qi into his hands, and a cold chill rushed out from his palms.
"The Everlasting Father of Ice...."
Directing his palm towards the arrival of the fireballs, an invisible energy immediately blew and passed through the fireballs belonging to Lin Mei.
In the blink of an eye, the fireballs were immediately covered by ice which then turned them into completely harmless ice balls according to Weng Ning.
Lin Mei seemed to be smiling widely at that, as she expected the strength of the two of them was completely opposite to the point that even the attacks of the two of them caused a reaction even after the two attacks they met, respectively, no reaction occurred.
"I won't stop there!" he shouted at Weng Ning.
"I know that!" reply Weng Ning who then patted both of his hands which still let out an incredible cold.
Stretching out his hands, hundreds of tiny ice needles began to trickle in front of him.
Lin Mei's smile became stiff seeing what that Weng Ning was doing. The number of his previous attacks did not even reach half of the number of those needles.
"Deliver!" Weng Ning exclaimed loudly and then the hundreds of ice needles he created started moving and headed towards Lin Mei.
Both of Lin Mei's eyes widened seeing that, and she hurriedly jumped down from the ice wall of Weng Ning's creation.
NAH!! BOOM!! PAM!!
Some of the ice needles struck with a loud noise where he had stood before. In a condition that was moving down, the attack from the ice needle immediately headed towards him at a speed that matched it.
Lin Mei made an acrobatic movement in the air to avoid the needles before she landed safely on the ground. Even so, he still continued to move avoiding those ice needles.
Unlike water, ice is a solid object, and it is impossible to stop a solid object with fire, let alone it is pure ice.
No, there was still one thing that could be done with his fire to avoid Weng Ning's ice needles.
"Density!"
From Lin Mei's two hands, two daggers of Qi were formed before she immediately used them to fend off the needles coming at her.
The tringg! Klang!!! Tssha!
Lin Mei's hands moved swiftly fending off one by one the ice needles that were moving towards her.
Just as he fended off the needle to his hundredth, the dagger Qi in his hand emitted a bright light before its end turned into a gigantic blaze of flames that covered the surrounding environment.
Utilizing the condition, Lin Mei took out Qi from within her body which she then immediately transformed into Qi balls in the air. It was seen that those Qi balls were emitting an orange glow like Lin Mei's Phoenix flames, but then, the Qi balls he created did not turn into fireballs after a while.
Lin Mei had only changed half of it, without turning the Qi ball into fire, but it still contained the fire element.
It's the same technique as what Ying She did when fighting Weng Wan before. This was also the first time he had used it, so you could say he didn't know if this would work or that.
Whichever one it was, he wouldn't know the outcome if he hadn't tried it.
