The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 436 - 204: Red Flame Tiger’s Ascending Evolution_3

Under the moonlight, a majestic tiger stood proudly in the uninhabited wilderness, its body covered in intense flames that drew the eye.

"Master Han!"

Dongfang Xu saluted, his radiant demeanor catching people’s eye.

"The hardship is over, congratulations."

Ye Hanjun smiled.

Upon his return to Canghai Pavilion, he had met with Dongfang Xu and gifted him the "Fire Soul Stone".

In a blink of an eye, Dongfang Xu absorbed and refined it, truly completing the final step in his accumulation. The former Fire Magician was officially stepping into the third tier, shoulder to shoulder with the three masters, by breaking through the Mysterious Mist in a different way.

"Roar...."

The Red Flame Tiger growled lowly, slightly bowing its head, clearly expressing its gratitude.

It had also undergone an Ascending Evolution, though its size didn’t vary much, just losing some of its excess flesh, it looked more robust.

However, the "King" character on its forehead shimmered more brilliantly, the flames burning on its body were more crimson, and a symbol of a fiery moon appeared on its neck, interweaving with the moonlight in the sky.

"Rustling~"

The impossible to ignore part was its tail.

The original "Red Flame Tiger" had a very conventional tiger tail, except for its flares, there was nothing extraordinary about it.

After the evolution it has three tails behind its buttock, each looking like the back half of a python. They create a wind sound when swinging and produce endless cracking sounds like a whipping bone when lashing.

"Talent Identification!"

Ye Hanjun activated an active ability to check the intensity of skills after ascending.

"Not bad."

Ye Hanjun nodded slightly.

Jade Infant at the 800 pattern stage is considered an upper-level skill at the same rank.

Reaching 900 pattern, it inevitably belongs to strong skills.

During a fierce battle, the probability of winning from a single strike is most likely.

The Three Tailed Flame Tiger mastered a total of four.

The strongest one had an astonishing 970 patterns, its power must be amazing.

"Pain...where is Pain?"

With a swish, Ye Hanjun summoned Mo, while moving back himself.

Without the need for verbal communication, Dongfang Xu instantly entered a combat stance, his eyes narrowed as a large fire seed floated out from his body.

"Roar!"

The Three Tailed Flame Tiger turned sharply, the flames on its three tails raging, sweeping towards Mo’s lower body like a broom.

Skill - Flame Sweep Tail!

This is a close-combat skill endowed with the fire element, the tricky part wasn’t just the skillful strength, but also the extreme heat; a slight misstep could lead to self-immolation.

But the Child of Disaster, Mo, did not retreat, nor shy away, he was entirely swept by the lower body but showed no sign of falling.

Beneath his feet, he possessed root-like organs, which not only help maintain his balance but also provided him with an enhanced sense of perception.

As for the spreading blaze that came along with it, it was indeed scorching. Mo howled, and the first thing he did was to become excited.

"Pain...this is a new pain!"

"More! I want more! Come and beat me up!!"

The ’Request Beating’ was activated, and the screaming sound echoed around. Animals hiding in the soil, suddenly rushed towards Mo as if they’d gone crazy.

Their ranks were so weak, merely clay bodies, they couldn’t even tear Mo’s bandages. Upon coming into contact with the intense fire, it was like moths flocking to a flame, rapidly turning into chunks of fist-sized charcoal, constantly falling to the ground.

"Roar!!"

The Three-tailed Flame Tiger was too close and couldn’t avoid the sound waves.

A smear of blood-colored light appeared in its formerly calm pupils, it seemed like it was stained by a layer of madness, the posture of its assault became even more frenzied, significantly deviating from Dongfang Xu’s control.

"Calm down! Retreat!"

Dongfang Xu yelled, his contracted Spirit Fond Spirits showed signs of going out of control, his instincts made him realize something bad was about to happen.

He increased the output of ’The Origin of Heterogenous Fire’, the ’Hundred Beast Heat’ that had already started forming on a preliminary scale, displayed even more intense light and heat.

In an instant, the Three-tailed Flame Tiger regained clarity, showing a strong sense of trepidation.

It evaded by retreating backward, seven rotating fireballs surrounded its body, it spat out angry flames, which from a distance burned Mo’s body.

"So painful...it hurts!"

"Such fiery pain! Delight! Absolute delight!!"

Usually, Mo experienced pain from blade wounds and tornadoes, the pain inflicted by the Fire Element was almost nonexistent.

Just then, he stood still, not evading, fully accepting the ’Fireball Eruption’ and then the ensuing ’Volcano Collapse’. The white bandages drenched in blood of various colors that coated his body started showing large areas of charring.

Even those eight tentacles turned pitch-black, in the air lingered the strong smell of burnt meat, which was pungent and unpleasant.

"Whoosh~~~"

The Fire-Moon symbol on his neck bloomed magnificently with light.

In a moment, the burly body of the Three-Tailed Flame Tiger mysteriously became lighter.

Its sprint speed increased, the execution of its skills became more fluid, it truly resembled a graceful dancer beneath the moonlight, fully displaying its elegance.

The ’Dance of Fire Under the Moon’ — it was not an attack skill but a buffing skill. With 970 patterns, upon activation, the reaction speed of the Three-Tailed Flame Tiger was greatly enhanced, it could match half of a speedy attack pet. The blocking sensation between skills also decreases significantly, under the amplification of ’The Origin of the Heterogenous Fire’, even continuous spellcasting was possible.

Since Mo didn’t move, he became the target.

He convulsed and shook, his sharp moans, his twisted and sick appearance, was unbearable to look at.

"Enough... enough..."

"New friend... I must repay you properly..."

After savoring a sufficient amount of pain, yet not to a degree where he was terribly battered.

Mo pulled out his root-like organs, used his eight tentacles to prop himself up on the ground, and started to move just like a spider.

His speed was not as fast as the enhanced Three-Tailed Flame Tiger, but it wasn’t too much slower either. He continuously activated ’Request Beating’ and ’Pain Absorption’, and occasionally unleashed ’Despair Storm’, this still made the Three-Tailed Flame Tiger appear rather pathetic.

This battle lasted a full hour.

In the end, the Three-Tailed Flame Tiger, backed by the ability enhancement from its master, barely managed to avoid showing signs of defeat.

Mo, who was alone and without assistance, whenever he encountered a crisis, the three-eyed white crow would use ’Absorb Nature’. The unfathomably deep health bar did not provide a clear idea of his limit.

"Unless there’s an absolutely crushing way to break the defense, otherwise, in a war of attrition, Mo naturally stands on invincible ground."

"Of course, you have the ’Ultimate Flame’ but you haven’t used it, it could likely achieve this effect, let’s call it a day."

Ye Hanjun gently smiled, and forcefully recalled the Child of Disaster.
