All these discoveries were important to Huo Yuhao. At least, it was a start to understanding this ce better.


    He took another step and finally entered that barren patch ofnd. Huo Yuhao immediately felt a wave of intense and scorching heat hit him in the face, and even his clothes began to smell burnt. The air around him was rippling from the heat!


    It’s so hot!


    Huo Yuhao almost instinctively unleashed his Ice Empress’ Armor, which covered his entire body. Ultimate Ice was Ultimate Ice after all, and even though Huo Yuhao was still a world away from the zing Delicate Apricot’s cultivation and close to the zing Sunspring, he still had enough strength to protect himself in such an environment.


    The zing Delicate Apricot quivered faintly as she said, “Eh? Ultimate Ice. It’s no wonder You You wants me to do it. Little guy, let me see if your Ultimate Ice is stronger, or if my Ultimate Fire is stronger.”


    Huo Yuhao forced augh and replied, “That doesn’t seem very fair senior, as our cultivations are not equal in the first ce. Furthermore, you have the zing Sunspring behind you that You You speaks of, so my abilities will be greatly reduced. How could I be a match for you?”


    The zing Delicate Apricot grunted and said, “Weren’t you extremely courageous when you ingested the Fullmoon Piercing Autumn Dew? Why are you cowering away now?”


    Huo Yuhao answered seriously, “I’m not cowering away. The only thing is that book is extremely important to me, and I absolutely have to pass your test. Therefore, all I’m hoping for is that the test will be more just and fair. I also believe that you’re not the kind to bully weaker individuals.”


    The zing Delicate Apricot said inly, “Saying all that is useless. My test has been predetermined, and what you shall face is an opponent that is equal to your abilities – Ultimate Fire. However, your opponent will be supported by the zing Sunspring, and you will pass if you defeat your opponent. Otherwise, you can leave.”


    The zing Delicate Apricot leaned backwards vigorously as she spoke, and a peculiar fiery-red whirlpool suddenly appeared in front of the flower. The whirlpool resembled a colossal whale sucking in water as it drew in arge pool of fiery-red spring water from the zing Sunspring before firing the water into the air in a violent pir.


    The fiery-red pir of water condensed and didn’t fall apart. The air around it began to twist energetically and contort wherever this pir passed, and the temperature within the valley skyrocketed once more.


    “The test has begun!” the zing Delicate Apricot’s emotionless voice rang out.


    The purplish-golden light in Huo Yuhao’s eyes became more intense as he half-crouched, and he made a pose as if he were about to erupt at any moment. His right hand’s Darkgolden Terrorwshed out, and a bluish-green light shone like a wave from his chest.


    The fiery-red pir descended from the sky and came directly for Huo Yuhao.


    The zing Delicate Apricot’s voice could be heard once more. “Oh, yes. You’re not allowed to step out of this barren area to avoid damaging the nts around you. You will lose if you step out of this area.”


    Huo Yuhao would have cursed at the top of his voice if he could, or if he had the time to curse. He couldn’t step out of this area, and that meant he would have to battle in the second hottest ce within this valley. His Ultimate Ice would be greatly weakened in the process, while the zing Delicate Apricot’s intense heat would be greatly amplified. How could he win this fight, even if they had the same cultivation?


    It was a pity that he had no time or space to curse. The searing pir of water bore down on him as his Spirit Eyes stared ahead, and he could clearly feel how frightening this attack was. The zing Sunspring was so hot that even Ma Xiaotao’s transformation into the Darkness Phoenix couldn’tpare to it, This was true Ultimate Fire!


    The red pir of water covered an enormous area, but Huo Yuhao didn’t intend to meet force with force. He tapped on the ground with his foot, and his entire body sprang into the air like a lightning bolt. He twisted and somersaulted in the sky as he nimbly dodged the pir.


    Some of the zing spring water smeared across his Ice Empress’ Armor, and some of the diamond crystals formed by the armor melted as a result. However, he managed to jump through an opening, and his left hand supported him on the ground as his body turned once more in midair. He tapped on the ground with his foot and changed directions as he leapt through yet another crack in the pir.


    His Spiritual Detection had evolved, and this gave him even greater ability to grasp opportunities. He narrowly but impably evaded the zing Sunspring’s attack.


    However, the scorching spring water didn’t disappear when itnded on the ground. Instead, it congregated together strangely and instantly transformed into a humanoid figure.


    Huo Yuhao had initially believed that he would be facing the zing Delicate Apricot. This was the reason why he was still on guard against her when he leapt through the air. Only now did he realize that his opponent was that fiery-red spring water.


    The spring water congregated into a female human figure, Her features were faint and subtle, while there seemed to be a long red ponytail that draped all the way to her feet. Her figure was stunning, but it was a pity that the temperature emanating from her body was simply too frightening.


    The zing Delicate Apricot released another red beam thatnded on the body the water had formed, and this fiery girl immediately became golden-red. Her hands were lowered to her sides, and she now had a long ming de in each hand. She tapped her foot on the ground and pounced towards Huo Yuhao, raising the two des high above her head and shing out violently.


    Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Detection allowed him to detect even the smallest details and elemental differences after his Purple Demon Eyes ascended into the Mustard Domain. He looked on speechlessly as countless red specks of elemental fire swiftly congregated toward the firedy’s twin des as she raised her des in the air. The fiery radiance at the tips of her des reached up more than ten feet when she finally shed down... and all of that was the unbelievably searing Ultimate Fire!


    Huo Yuhao was at a great disadvantage because he was forced to fight this firedy within the area designated by the zing Delicate Apricot. The temperature in this ce wasn’t even, and the closer it was to the zing Sunspring, the higher it became… and the closer he was to the zing Delicate Apricot, the hotter it became! Huo Yuhao felt as if the Ultimate Ice within his body was being greatly suppressed and stifled.


    I’m dodging this! Huo Yuhao’s body flickered as he used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and he once again relied on the might of his Spiritual Detection to leap through an opening within the pattern of the ming knives. But this time, he retaliated.


    Bluish-green light converged in front of his chest, and an extremely chilly bluish-green pir of light burst out from his chest. Ice Empress’ Wrath!


    Huo Yuhao’s eyes grew ck immediately after he unleashed this attack.


    The zing Sunspring seemed like it had a life of its own, as if it could feel Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice. The fiery-red spring water surged into the air, as if something had induced a tidal wave, and an intense heat wave rushed toward him in the next moment. Huo Yuhao’s Ice Empress’ Wrath hadn’t even reached the firedy yet, but most of its strength had been dispelled by the scorching heat.


    The firedy seemed like she had just taken steroids, and her frame exploded in size. Her former scarlet-gold color was now almost entirely gold. Her now-golden ming knives crossed, and Huo Yuhao’s Ice Empress’ Wrath was cut into a million pieces.


    How do I fight this? The zing Sunspring can also help it fight?! This… isn’t this cheating? Huo Yuhao was truly exasperated. However, he was the passive one in this test, and he was in no position to determine the test’s criteria.


    The firedy pounced toward him once more in a sh. This time, she wasn’t in a hurry to sh down with her ming knives, and her movements changed right when Huo Yuhao attempted to dodge her using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.


    The firedy’s body also became a little illusory. Huo Yuhao wanted to dodge to one side, but she followed his footsteps to the same side before sheid her ming knives in front of him. It felt as if Huo Yuhao was about to m himself into those ming knives.


    “I… I…” Huo Yuhao finally started to curse. No matter how powerful his Spiritual Detection was, there was no way that the firedy could make the same steps as he did, the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track’s steps…?!?


    Huo Yuhao vanished into thin air as his left leg flickered once with golden light, and he reappeared right behind the firedy in the next moment. This was the Instant Teleportation that the wolf-ape’s left leg bone had given him.


    Instant Teleportation was like a legendary skill to most soul masters, and its effects were most obvious when used in closebat.


    Aren’t you trying to weaken my Ultimate Ice? Fine, then I won’t use Ultimate Ice. Huo Yuhao shed out with his right hand after he used Instant Teleportation, and his Darkgolden Terrorw’s sharp edges reached out over seven meters. The frightening de seemed to howl as it flickered once when it shed through the air, as if it were about to sever the world itself in two.


    One had to admit thatbining Instant Teleportation and the Darkgolden Terrorw was simply unimaginably powerful. It was hard to avoid this attack even if his opponent could predict it. In the end, Instant Teleportation was just too quick, while the Darkgolden Terrorw’s area of effect was too vast at the same time.


    The firedy was formed by the searing zing Sunspring, but even though she seemed to possess abilities simr to Huo Yuhao’s, she was caught off-guard, and even though she could use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and the zing Delicate Apricot was controlling her, she couldn’t evade Huo Yuhao’s sudden and explosive attack.


    Huo Yuhao’s sharp des shed through her in an instant, and the firedy’s body was cut into multiple pieces by the frightening dark golden des.


    Is it over? Huo Yuhao was ecstatic. He had always been absolutely confident of his Darkgolden Terrorw’s offensive ability, and even powerful eight-ringed Soul Sages would probably be injured if they took a direct hit from this attack.


    However, something else happened that made his eyes droop and his mouth go ck.


    The firedy was sliced into severalrge pieces. However, these pieces reverted into spring water once they dropped to the ground, and the liquid swiftly congregated once more. The firedy reappeared in the time that Huo Yuhao spent in a daze, and she resumed shing at him with her long ming knives once more. This time, she pounced toward Huo Yuhao as if she loomed over the entire world, and it felt as if the firedy had a life of her own...and she was angry…


    Physical attacks are useless? Can they stop cheating like that?


    It was Huo Yuhao’s turn to panic. He retreated at breakneck speed as he raised his left hand, and a golden light screen immediately transformed into a ripple as he ced it before him.
