I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 568: Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Four: Strange Fire Transformation Armor

At Red Cloud Mountain, the summit of Red Cloud Peak

Snowflakes were swirling violently in the frigid wind, and the initially clear platform was now ankle-deep in snow. Tang Luo leaned against a crystal rock where he had previously collapsed, quietly waiting for Xiao Ziyu.

Soon, Xiao Ziyu, with the aid of his Bicolored Flame Dragons, and Xiao Qi, who traveled through the void, arrived at the summit, landing on the other side of the platform.

Afterward, several powerful warriors from both the Tang and Xiao Clans ascended to the sky, acting as guards in mid-air. Nearly forty formidable warriors from the Fierce Realm surrounded the small peak tightly, providing no room for escape.

Sensing a powerful presence from all directions, Tang Luo felt uncomfortable. He turned towards Xiao Qi and said, “Is such a show of force necessary for just a simple duel?”

There were only fourteen warriors from the Tang Clan, while the remaining twenty plus were all from the Xiao Clan. Seventy percent of them were martial ancestors from the Xiao Clan, while the rest were elders from other families.

Deploying such a formidable force for protective measures seemed excessive to Tang Luo, especially if there was no way out later, it would indeed be quite amusing.

Xiao Qi glanced at Tang Luo and, smiling, pointed towards the southern sky: “Since the Pride of Xiling has responded to our Xiao Clan’s invitation, it is our duty to provide proper protection. The incidents from last time will never be repeated.”

Following the direction of Xiao Qi’s pointing finger, Tang Luo finally understood the faint sound of the bird cry he had heard earlier. It was from the Mi Clan.

He had thought that the Mi Clan had changed its character and will not attend this grand event. He was surprised to find out that they were only kept at a distance by the Xiao family. It seemed, Xiao Jinlin had a warning for the Mi clan for their previous surprise attack without any introduction. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine that the domineering Xiao Clan would give up the chance to watch the fights from such a great distance.

Tang Luo nodded and said, “The young clan leader is thoughtful.”

Xiao Qi gave a slight nod and rose into the void. He raised his voice and said, “The battle today is between the Pride of Xiling, Tang Luo, and Xiao Ziyu. The peak platform will serve as the platform and the surrounding sky will be the limit. If you die, surrender, or fall off the platform, you lose. Have the two of you understood the rules?”

He reiterated the rules of this battle once again, making sure both fighters and dojo spectators, as well as Mi clan in the southern sky, were aware. Xiao Clan was trying to extend an olive branch to Mi Clan rather than having a bad relationship, hence they were doing everything to ensure their intentions were not misinterpreted.

If Xiao Jinlin was the ‘bad cop’, Xiao Qi was the ‘good cop’ as he explained the rules, a strategy all too familiar with the children of the aristocratic families.

Tang Luo straightened up, left the comfortable crystal rock and walked towards Xiao Ziyu. The latter also walked towards him, although the two of them appeared drastically different.

In a pure black training suit, Tang Luo looked like an aristocratic son preparing for morning exercises. His sporadic stretches and chest expansions seemed more like a simple warm-up exercise than battle preparations. Even the crunching sound of his foot steps on the snow did not create the impression of seriousness.

In contrast, Xiao Ziyu was entirely enveloped in flames, as if it were his physical body. Every step he took left behind rings of fire evaporating the snow on the peak. The flame shadows behind him increased from two to three, signaling the eruption of the fire god’s bloodline. Various kinds of strange fires were summoned, constantly condensing into a divine fire armor.

Sorrowful Departure Profound Skyfire, Scorching Sun Orange Flame, Divine Phoenix Fire, Samadhi True Fire, Phosphorus Ghost Fire, Innate Sunburn.

Even with Tang Luo’s knowledge, he was only able to identify six out of the eight kinds of strange fires surrounding Xiao Ziyu. The other two kinds of black-purple flames were clearly not ordinary and no less powerful than the other six.

Tang Luo suddenly understood why Xiao Ziyu issued a challenge to him despite seeing him defeat Mi Chu. Everyone thought that Xiao Ziyu’s strength lied within his eight-colored dragon shadow from the Monument Dragon Diagram. However, it turned out that his true strength was this divine armor created from his fire god’s bloodline.

Any same-realm warrior who dares to approach Xiao Ziyu will be scorched by this divine armor without Xiao Ziyu even lifting a finger. And if they dare to attack, they would experience what it means to be burned to the bone.

With the Monument Dragon Diagram for the offensive and the strange fire armor for the defense, and according to the intelligence he got from the Wind Media Department, Xiao Ziyu also excelled in various fire spell matrixes. Tang Luo touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Lesser warriors in this world are all different. Some are weak in close combat, some in long-range combat, and some have single use abilities. However, the molds of the mighty warriors are strikingly similar. They basically have no weak points.

Although there may be one outstandingly strong point, the rest of their abilities are no less weak and hard to pinpoint as weaknesses. Clearly, Xiao Jinlin was training Xiao Ziyu by the standards of an ultimate powerful warrior.

Especially considering everyone only saw the Fire God’s bloodline as a combat bloodline. Xiao Ziyu creatively integrated the abilities of the Fire God’s bloodline with Strange Fire, creating a Strange Fire Armor, which greatly impressed Tang Luo.

This divine armor, circulated by eight kinds of fire, has a defense power comparable to regular divine armors, but with much more powerful killing and counterattack capabilities. Today, Xiao Ziyu only had an adorning mortal cultivation level and controlled eight kinds of strange fires, yet his armor was already this powerful.

If his cultivation level advances and he collects more strange fires in the future, he might become the first warrior in history to condense a divine armor using his own cultivation level.

Feeling Xiao Ziyu’s creativity, Tang Luo, as a martial arts researcher, praised from the bottom of his heart: “Playing the Fire God’s bloodline like this, the pages of future history books will definitely feature you prominently.”

Why do top-notch warriors always want to record their exploits? It’s all for the sake of immortality. However, only a few powerful warriors can really go down in history, as fame is not only about strength, but also about memory.

Many formidable warriors with no distinctive characteristics are easily forgotten, no matter how powerful they are. On the other hand, some warriors with distinctive attributes can capture people’s hearts, even if they are not that strong.

“All of what you said will happen in the future. Right now, I only want to tell you!” Xiao Ziyu, now transformed into a fire man, clenching his fists said: “I want to win!”

Tang Luo gave a slight laugh as he activated his Undying Battle Body. In an instant, a silver-grey giant nearly six meters tall appeared on the top of Red Cloud Mountain. The spiritual energy of the world congregated around the giant, looking like auspicious clouds.

Due to the growth of his cultivation and the nourishment of his Innate Qi, Tang Luo’s Undying Battle Body became increasingly terrifying. Despite his over six-meter-tall massive body, the extremely bulging muscles made people feel he wasn’t that tall.

Only Xiao Ziyu knew the oppressive power of this half-armored, muscular, silver-grey giant. This was not the first time he saw Tang Luo’s giant avatar. However, he didn’t expect that in such a short period of time, his body and aura had significantly improved. Mi Chu once said that Tang Luo’s giant bloodline had reached its limit in the current realm, but it seemed there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Xiao Ziyu’s brows furrowed as he looked serious.
