Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 543 - 396: How Can You Resist the True Dragon’s Power?

He clearly felt the surge of water and fire forces in his lower Dantian. The water force was like a gushing spring, gentle and steady; the fire force was like raging flames, wild and fierce. These two forces quickly rushed upward along the Ren and Du Meridians, finally converging in his palms, merging into a powerful force.

Water and fire are inherently incompatible, but within Luo Chen’s body, they existed in a wondrous way. Although Luo Chen had attempted multiple times to fuse the forces of water and fire in combat, he usually prioritized the visible fire and supplemented with the invisible water. However, this time, he tried letting water and fire run parallel, without prioritizing one over the other, allowing them to blend together.

At the moment when water and fire clashed, the two forces twisted together, transforming into a spiral-shaped giant force. This force surged like a vortex, continuously pouring into the spear in Luo Chen’s hand—Cold Rain.

At this moment, Wind Tiger also flew over with his spear. His figure was agile, stabbing towards Luo Chen from above, the spear tip glinting with a cold light. Faced with Wind Tiger’s fierce offensive, Luo Chen suddenly twisted his waist and leaped up. A glimmer of red and white light flashed in his eyes, as if containing the power of water and fire forces. He fiercely thrust out with Cold Rain in his hand, the spiral water and fire forces surging up along the spear shaft, attached to the spear force.

The two spears collided heavily again, Luo Chen gathering all his strength for the thrust, yet he still couldn’t rival Wind Tiger’s overwhelming force. Though his body remained motionless, his feet suddenly sank into the muddy ground. However, at this moment, the water and fire spiral force he had just improvised also took effect. This peculiar force caught Wind Tiger off guard, causing a sudden tremor in his palm, which led the spear force to shift, exposing a flaw.

Luo Chen quickly seized this opportunity. He leaped up, the spear in his hand as nimble and varied as a spirit snake. Thrusts, hacks, stabs, flicks... he displayed various transformations of techniques in an instant, each spear move presenting two drastically different changes. As he unleashed these successive moves, he forced Wind Tiger into continuous retreat.

A man watching in the dense forest huffed in surprise, showing an expression of astonishment on his face. He clearly did not expect Luo Chen to exhibit such formidable strength. And Ouyang Qian was even more delighted as she watched this scene, knowing Luo Chen hadn’t let her down.

Although Wind Tiger was temporarily at a disadvantage, a hint of interest emerged in his eyes. He understood the principle of overwhelming force subduing skill, knowing that his Soul Power was far superior to Luo Chen’s. How could the power of a true dragon compare to that of an ordinary person? He wasn’t in a hurry to counterattack but was quietly observing Luo Chi’s changes in techniques, searching for flaws.

Suddenly swinging his spear horizontally, Wind Tiger let out a low shout, blocking Luo Chen’s fierce thrust at an incredible angle. The spear shaft vibrated intensely, emitting a metallic clang that shook one’s mind. Wind Tiger did not pause and continued to wield his spear, the tip transforming into a series of afterimages, like a gale passing through, unexpectedly deflecting Luo Chen’s incoming water and fire spiral force back the way it came.

Surprise flashed in Luo Chen’s eyes—he hadn’t expected Wind Tiger’s spear skills to be so exquisite, able to easily neutralize his attack. However, he wasn’t discouraged by this and was getting ready to rally his strength for a bigger surprise for Wind Tiger.

But just at this moment, Wind Tiger suddenly swung his spear across, the spear tip emitting faint sparks, as if it were burning with a blazing fire. The surrounding air also seemed to ignite from this fire spear, rapidly becoming unbearably hot, as if one were immersed in a furnace.

Wind Tiger stood with his spear, a grave expression on his face. He opened his mouth, inhaling and exhaling; with each breath in, the firelight at the spear tip grew more intense, as if it wanted to break free from the shaft; with each exhale, the surrounding air grew hotter, as if it wanted to ignite the entire world.

Six breaths later, the jet-black spear had turned fiery red, like a heated branding iron. Each time Wind Tiger stirred the spear, he could cause the air to undulate, as if he were manipulating a sea of fire. Nine breaths later, he suddenly raised the spear fiercely, with the spear tip dancing lightly, actually whipping up a sea of fire out of thin air.

The sea of fire blazed fiercely, seemingly trying to consume the entire world. Fire within the spear, spear within the fire, shadows of fire repeatedly appearing, spear force like a tide. At this moment, Wind Tiger seemed to transform into a flaming War God, with his spear as his battle-axe, aiming to slay all enemies under his horse.

Luo Chen’s expression changed dramatically upon seeing this scene. He felt the overwhelming heat wave and the lethal intent within the spear force, knowing he absolutely couldn’t take this spear head-on. Hence, he withdrew swiftly, trying to dodge this attack which far exceeded his imagination.

"Burn Void! Stop!" Wind Tiger shouted, his voice rumbling like thunder. The spear in his hand seemed to sense the owner’s battle intent too, its blade chasing towards Luo Chen with the momentum to utterly crush him.

The fire spear charged forward like a burning forest, an erupting volcano, carrying destructive power. Even from ten steps away, Luo Chen could feel the heat wave that seemed capable of incinerating everything. Sweat pouring off him, his heart raced even more. He racked his brain for a way to counter this move but still couldn’t think of a solution.
