Chapter 218 Betting and Fighting

The cold voice was like a chill wind blowing through the air, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold and solemn.

"Interesting." Looking at Lin Yuan, who was surrounded by green flames, the ancient demon's indifferent face showed a playful look, and said: "What happened between me and Canaan College? Hey, what do you want to talk about? How do you want to talk about it?"

Lin Yuan's eyes were slightly stern, with a mixture of mysterious soul power and astonishing murderous aura, and a captivating murderous aura condensed out.

"What do you think? Ancient demon?"

"Although you are from the ancient clan, the world is ruled by strength. You disregard the rules of Canaan Academy and casually kill our students in this inner courtyard. You don't think you can leave without paying any price, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous aura pressed down on the ancient monster with the force of a landslide, and also on Lingquan behind him.

The moment Lingquan was enveloped by this evil spirit, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he looked at Lin Yuan with some horror.

With such a terrifying evil spirit, how many people has this man killed?

A murderous aura was coming towards him, and the ancient demon actually felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from Lin Yuan, a border man whose cultivation level was one level lower than his own.

"This guy is not an ordinary alchemist."

Understanding this, the ancient demon put away the playful smile on his face, looked at Lin Yuan solemnly, and subconsciously put his body into a defensive posture. He said in a deep voice: "It seems that you want to fight with me."

“A battle?” Lin Yuan shook his head casually and said calmly, “It’s not appropriate to say that. I should say that I want to teach you a little lesson.”

"Arrogant!" A cold and stern shout rang out.

Extremely cold air rushed out of his body, and the ancient demon said with murderous intent: "I am the pride of the ancient clan, carrying the blood of the Dou Emperor, and all I have practiced are the true teachings of the ancient clan. You, are just a person from the border, how dare you look down on me?"

As he spoke, a frosty air circulated around the ancient monster, and the area within several miles centered on it was instantly covered by a layer of frost.

"A battle of words is not as good as a battle of swords. Between us, we need to speak with strength."

Lin Yuan chuckled, and a hot breath of the Green Lotus Earth Fire spread out, accurately melting the surrounding ice and snow without harming any grass or tree. When he made a casual move, his terrifying fighting spirit control was undoubtedly on full display.

When the ancient demon saw this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he didn't care too much.

Side paths are vulnerable in the face of absolute power.

Lin Yuan tapped his forehead lightly with his finger, as if thinking, a cunning look flashing in his deep eyes.

"However, pure fighting is a bit boring after all. We practice to reach the peak. Even if it is necessary to fight, it should be a stepping stone to this goal. This battle is the same, and it should also serve as nourishment for our progress."

"What exactly do you want to say?" The ancient demon looked at Lin Yuan coldly and said in a deep voice.

"Nothing, I just want to add some excitement to this battle." Lin Yuan flipped his hand, and the jade bottle containing the Zunshi Pill appeared in his hand.

"The losers should become the ladder for the winners."

"I just happened to refine this Zunshi Pill today. I would like to use it as a prize for a fight between you and me. Do you dare to accept this challenge? In other words, as a proud child of the ancient clan, do you have something that can rival this pill?"

It's a simple way of provoking someone, but it works every time for people with arrogant personalities.

Hearing this, the ancient demon smiled proudly and said, "Since you want to offer this pill to me, I will gladly accept it. I accept this bet."

"How can you imagine the depth of our clan's heritage?"

The ancient demon flicked his fingers, and a black scroll fell into his hand. "It's just the Zunshi Pill. I have plenty of things that are worth as much as it. This is a high-level earth-level body movement, Void Travel, which is comparable to the Zunshi Pill."

"This guy Gu Yao still has his IQ online, he's not stupid." Gu Zhen secretly curled his lips.

In the ancient clan, compared to Dou Qi masters, alchemists are much rarer. Therefore, compared to high-level fighting skills, high-level elixirs are also much rarer.

At its core, it is the ancient clan's tradition of supremacy of bloodline.

Due to the need to ensure the purity of his own Dou Di bloodline, Gu Ji seldom married with outsiders, so it was naturally difficult for him to recruit high-quality alchemists from outside for his own use.

After all, in order to marry a high-level alchemist, the ancient clan naturally needs to produce equally outstanding women, and such women usually have a high concentration of Dou Di blood, which is a scarce resource within the clan. How can they be given out for marriage?

Therefore, the alchemists available to the ancient clan mainly rely on internal training.

However, the conditions for becoming an alchemist are naturally harsh.

The dual attributes of fire and wood plus soul talent, this kind of qualification can be said to be one in a million among other ancient clans except the Medicine Clan.

Even though there are tens of millions of ancient tribes, those who have the potential to grow into high-level alchemists are still extremely rare. After all, the growth of alchemists cannot rely on Doudi bloodline, but relies heavily on talent and consumes resources.

Even among the Ancient Clan, one of the strongest forces on this continent, high-grade alchemists are extremely scarce.

As for the strong ones, as long as the concentration of the Dou Emperor's blood reaches a certain level, there will be basically no major problems.

With long-term accumulation, the ancient clan has no shortage of Dou Zun strongmen. High-level earth-level fighting skills are the standard for Dou Zun, and the ancient clan naturally has no shortage of them.

Not to mention, the martial arts and fighting skills can be reused.

In general, the ratio of high-level alchemists and high-level masters in the ancient clan is much smaller than in the outside world. This supply and demand situation naturally caused that within the ancient clan, high-level elixirs were more scarce than high-level martial arts.

Gu Yao looks cold, but he is not stupid or confused when it comes to doing things. The other one...

Gu Zhen looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Have you turned something that could lead to an expansion of conflict into a conflict of interests among young people? This Lin Yuan is not only outstanding in cultivation and alchemy, but also has good skills in handling these subtle matters."

"Seventh-rank alchemist Lin Yuan, five-star Dou Zong Little Medical Immortal..."

"Besides the ancient imperial clan like us, there are many outstanding young people on this continent. I was a little narrow-minded before..."

As his thoughts flowed, there was a hint of amusement in Gu Zhen's eyes when he looked at Lin Yuan.

"However, if we lose, we will end up losing more than we gain. Lin Yuan, do you really have the ability to defeat the ancient demon? The ancient demon may not be very smart, but his strength is unquestionable."

Hearing the ancient demon's bet, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, "Earth-level advanced body movement fighting skills, just in time to use them."

At present, the body movement that Lin Yuan mainly uses, Three Thousand Thunder Movements, is only a low-level earth-level body movement technique.

Although Three Thousand Thunders has the advanced physical skill of Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies, not to mention that the latter has not been obtained yet, even if it is obtained, its main function is to condense the clone, and its physical skill is not much stronger than Three Thousand Thunders.

Now, the ancient demon can offer a set of high-level earth-level body skills, which will undoubtedly help Lin Yuan make a major breakthrough in his body skills.

As for the outcome of the battle with the ancient monster, Lin Yuan has absolute confidence.

What Lin Yuan is best at is not cultivation and alchemy, but fighting, the mastery and application of fighting skills and tactics.

"In that case, let Junior Sister Xun'er be the witness of this battle!" Lin Yuan smiled softly and threw the Zunshi Pill to Gu Xun'er, "Junior Sister Xun'er, please keep our bet."

She is not only a lady of the ancient tribe, but also a student of Canaan College. There is no more suitable witness than her.

"Will Xun'er witness it? That's a good idea." The ancient demon nodded and threw the scroll over. "Xun'er, today is the first time we meet. This victory will be my gift to you..."

Gu Xun'er calmly took the pills and scrolls, and said in a deep voice: "I will witness this battle as a lady of the Gu clan, and the winner will get the spoils in my hands." This is a good opportunity. Lin Yuan and Gu Yao are both opponents that Xiao Yan will challenge in the future. This battle is just the right time to see the strengths and weaknesses of the two.

"Come on, follow me to the back hill for a fight!"

After saying that, Lin Yuan sent a message to Elder Su Qian, then turned into a stream of green light and rushed towards the back mountain of Canaan College.

Soon, several streaks of light also flew towards the back mountain.
-
Inner courtyard, back mountain.

"Brother, why don't you let me take over this fight!" Zi Yan patted her chest, which was not rising or falling, and said confidently, "I have become much stronger recently. I can easily deal with that cold guy with just a few punches."

The months that Lin Yuan spent in seclusion were not wasted.

With an adequate supply of high-level medicinal materials, although Zi Yan has not yet broken through to the seventh level, her strength has improved significantly, and the power of the top ancient dragon bloodline has been discovered bit by bit.

"Next time definitely!"

Lin Yuan rubbed Zi Yan's little head with his right hand and said with a smile: "Let me do it this time. I want to test the level of Zhongzhou."

Ever since he knew that the ancient demon had come and sensed that he was a three-star Dou Zong, Lin Yuan planned to find a reason to fight him, to get a good feel for him and to clarify his own strength positioning within the continent.

After all, as a talented young generation of the ancient clan, Gu Yao's positioning is quite representative.

His attack on Xiao Yan gave Lin Yuan the best excuse.

"Alright!" Zi Yan could only accept Lin Yuan's decision. She curled her lips and said, "It's agreed that the next opponent will be given to me..."

The Little Medical Fairy straightened Lin Yuan's collar and said softly, "That ancient demon is quite powerful, be careful!"

Lin Yuan's fingertips brushed against Little Medical Immortal's snowy hair and chuckled, "Don't worry, don't you know my strength? Besides, hasn't the Great Elder made all the preparations..."

"Don't worry! I have made all the arrangements. There is no danger in this battle." Su Qian stroked his beard and glanced at the void somewhere in the distance.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Great Elder!"

Immediately he took a step forward, a silver light flashed, and his figure appeared in the air as if teleporting, appearing opposite the ancient monster.

Looking at Lin Yuan not far ahead, the ancient demon showed a cold smile on his face and said coldly: "No matter how strong you are, you dare to challenge me. You are really brave. But courage without strength is stupid."

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, then looked directly at the ancient demon and said calmly: "You are very confident, but confidence needs to be supported by strength. Do you have it?"

When it comes to talking nonsense, Lin Yuan is never inferior to others.

"Everything depends on strength. I appreciate this idea." The ancient demon nodded slightly and said softly: "As for whether I have the strength, it is up to you to experience it yourself..."

As the last word fell, an extremely cold air surged out from the ancient demon's body, and the sky suddenly became icy cold.

At the same time, a circle of space ripples spread out from the ancient demon's toes, and his figure suddenly disappeared like a ghost, leaving only a residual image lingering in the original place.

"Delay, concealment, sneak attack, these are indeed the classic fighting methods of ice cultivators."

And at the moment the ancient monster disappeared, a serious look slowly emerged on Lin Yuan's face. His eyebrows raised, and powerful soul power surged out from between his eyebrows, carefully capturing the subtle movements in the surrounding space.

"But, to me, that's just... a useless move!"

"Spin!"

Sensing the subtle disturbance in space, Lin Yuan raised his hand slightly, and blue flames and fierce energy swirled up, condensing into a powerful force in his palm as he spun.

Immediately, he flipped his hand and struck out, hitting a void place in the space.

The next moment, a slender palm, carrying an icy and biting wind, suddenly stretched out from that empty space.

"boom--"

The two palms touched each other, cold and hot energy intertwined, and fierce air ripples burst out in an instant.

In the void, the figure of the ancient demon slowly emerged, and with his fighting spirit urging him, the power in his hands increased little by little, pressing towards Lin Yuan. However, Lin Yuan's arm was like a Great Wall made of steel, without a single shake.

Seeing this, the ancient demon's cold eyes flashed with surprise, and he said lightly: "Your strength is quite good, you have some skills!"

"Really?" Lin Yuan smiled playfully, and commented leisurely: "Your speed is good, but your strength is not enough, and your boxing skills are not solid enough. Then you shouldn't approach others casually, otherwise..."

"It's just seeking death!"

While chatting and laughing, a huge force burst out from Lin Yuan's hands.

Lin Yuan's palm spun lightly, deftly removing the power from the ancient monster's palm, then he turned his palm into a claw, and tightly clasped the ancient monster's wrist with his right hand. The other hand, also surrounded by flames and energy, blasted straight at the ancient monster's head.

The ancient demon reacted quickly, and immediately raised his palm to take the attack.

However, Lin Yuan's purpose was exactly this. He changed his fist into a claw and firmly controlled the ancient monster's other hand.

The ancient demon hurriedly tried to break free, but found that the opponent's hands were like the claws of a demon beast and it was difficult to break free. "Damn, is this guy a seventh-level demon beast in human form, or has he practiced a high-level body-building fighting skill?"

Realizing that the opponent's strength far exceeded his own, the ancient demon felt something was wrong, but it was too late.

Without giving the ancient monster any time to react, Lin Yuan launched continuous attacks one after another, using the Danhuo technique as he pleased. As the qi and fire transformed, a green sea of ​​fire appeared.

As soon as he had a thought, the green sea of ​​fire rolled back towards the two people in a stalemate, and in an instant a flaming green lotus enveloped the two of them.

"Five-wheel Fire Formation·Modified·Blue Lotus Fire Formation."

With a low shout in his heart, the green fire lotus spun rapidly, and a high temperature that could burn the sky and boil the sea was released, surrounding the two people in a stalemate.

Under this high-temperature refining, the two people wrapped in the Green Fire Lotus: Lin Yuan, as the master of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, the Green Fire Fighting Qi in his body became more active at this moment, and its power became stronger again; the ancient monster's icy fighting spirit was suppressed and quickly consumed.

The ancient demon used all his strength to activate the icy fighting spirit in his body, trying to resist the erosion of the strange fire array.

However, as the most destructive force between heaven and earth, even if it is only the nineteenth, with the blessing of Lin Yuan's soul power and fire control method, it is no longer something that the cold fighting spirit of a mere Dou Zong can resist.

Soon, Lin Yuan's Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire suppressed the ancient monster's extremely cold fighting spirit, forcing it to retreat step by step.

The ancient demon intended to use his fighting skills to break the formation, but his hands were firmly controlled by Lin Yuan.

The ancient demon wanted to absorb the energy to recover, but found that his body was filled with pure fire element energy. Once it was absorbed into the body, not only would it not be able to recover, but it would conflict with the extremely cold energy in the body, causing a violent energy conflict in the body.

This was the inspiration that Lin Yuan got from the Little Medical Fairy's Heavenly Poison Prison when he was deducing the Fire Array.

“Damn it.” The ancient demon looked at Lin Yuan, his mind racing. “Are the strong alchemists so difficult to deal with?”

With just one mistake in tactical choice, he, the ancient demon, was almost on the verge of defeat.

As time went by, Lin Yuan's aura became stronger, while the ancient demon's aura rapidly declined.

The balance of victory and defeat began to tilt rapidly.
