Chapter 77: Undying Skyfire, Getting the Place

Engulfed in osmium soil in the air, Chu Ding struggled to fight back but found himself helpless against it . Hence, he admitted his defeat reluctantly .

“The gravity force is suppressing the Speed-type Arcana too much!”

“It is . ”

Those spectators blurted out in awe at seeing how Chu Ding’s Sonic-Speed Arcana, an unfair ability, had met its worst enemy—Gravity Arcana .

What else could they say?

“It is true that the Gravity Arcana could counteract the Sonic-Speed Arcana . But don’t forget how incredible Ling Jiu can manipulate gravity force . ” Jing Biao smiled .

“Indeed . ”

Ai Tianfan nodded his agreement, then walked into the ring . “Last session: Ling Jiu versus Ai Shangcheng!”

“Ling Jiu, to be fair to you, you can choose to either take a two-hour break or enter the battle immediately . ”

“I will enter the battle immediately,” Ling Jiu said . “We have wasted too much time today . It’s almost off working hours!”

“Are you sure?” Ai Tianfan asked .

“I am sure . ”

Ling Jiu nodded . The earlier battle that had only lasted for a moment cost little of his Gene Arcana . He was totally fine to continue the next session .

“Then let’s begin!”

Ai Tianfan sent someone to bring out Ai Shangcheng, who was resting next door .

“This is the last session . ”

“This one last battle will decide who is going to take part in the Super Training Camp . ”

Ling Jiu and Ai Shangcheng came to the center of the ring . Ai Shangcheng was a timid teen, handsome but frail-looking . But Ling Jiu did not want to take chances .

The teen was capable of dual arcana of Fire and Wind Manipulations . Besides, he could control a special type of fire with temperature as high as 5,000ºC—the Undying Skyfire .

That was how terrific he was .

For comparison, the temperature of lava was only 1,400ºC, and the sun’s surface was 6,000ºC . Yet Ai Shangcheng’s fire reached 5,000ºC .

It was imaginable that this fire would burn him into ashes instantly . So Ling Jiu couldn’t be more careful .

“Here I come!”

Ai Shangcheng gave Ling Jiu a heads up as a group of red flames burst out in his hand, and the horrible heat instantly spread .

Ling Jiu could already feel the scorching heat from ten meters away .

“Isn’t this Undying Skyfire?”

Ling Jiu’s heart skipped a beat .

“Flaming Spear!”

Ai Shangcheng shouted in a low-pitched voice and turned the red-fiery flare into a flaming spear before shooting it at Ling Jiu .

“Shinratensei!”

Ling Jiu spread out his right hand .

Boom!

The surrounding gravity force suddenly reversed and became an expelling force that countered the incoming Flaming Spear .

The next moment, Flaming Spear was bounced back and away .

It stunned Ai Shangcheng to see his Flaming Spear bounced back . “I didn’t know anyone could use gravity this way!”

“Gravity is also a force!”

Ling Jiu let out a smile . “And force has different strengths and directions . Since I can manipulate gravity, I can also manipulate its strength and direction . Gravity force can pull downward, push upward, and go sideways . ”

“I see!”

Ai Shangcheng was impressed . “You really are a dab hand at manipulation of gravity! But you may not withstand my next move with it!”

Ai Shangcheng clapped his hands as soon as his voice trailed off . “Doomsday Fire!”

Boom!

A vast amount of flame burst out of his hand . In the form of an enormous sea of fire, it spread toward Ling Jiu .

Those spectators could feel the heating scorching their faces . They quickly covered their faces and retreated .

There were scorched marks on the ceiling, flooring, doors, and windows .

“Rascal!”

Ai Tianfan cursed then immediately shot his hand out . The entire training hall was then engulfed with a white, chilly air .

A frost instantly formed on the ceiling, floor, doors, and windows to prevent the fire from scorching them further .

“Are you thinking of burning things up?” Ling Jiu’s mouth twitched . “Shinratensei!”

Boom!

A terrifying expelling force burst out, driving the sea of fire away before it reversed and engulfed Ai Shangcheng with gravity .

Boom!

Ai Shangcheng was forced to bend down, his face reddening as he struggled against the gravity force . But he did not have the physical arcana that Yang Tian possessed .

At last, he was pressed to the floor and could no longer stand up .

“I concede defeat!”

After much struggling, Ai Shangcheng had no choice but to admit that he had lost .

“The outcome is known!” Jing Biao looked at Ai Tianfan, grinning .

“I knew it would turn out this way!”

“This kid’s Gravity Arcana is also a bane for Ai Shangcheng!” Ai Tianfan said .

“Whatever . Ling Jiu has won . ” Jing Biao gave a smile .

Ai Tianfan nodded with reluctance . If he could, he would want to give the place to Ai Shangcheng .

But Ai Shangcheng was just not up to snuff . There was nothing he could do about it .

“Ling Jiu, you have earned yourself a place in the Super Training Camp!”

Ai Tianfan came to the middle of the ring to announce the ultimate outcome .

“Thank you, Mr . Ai,” Ling Jiu said .

“You don’t have to thank me . You earned it . I played no part in it . ”

Ai Tianfan held up his hand, then glanced at everyone at the scene . “The match has ended here and the outcome has also been announced . You all may leave now!”

“Rascal!”

“An outsider has taken the last place away!”

“Sigh…”

As indignant as those spectators were, they could do nothing to change it . After they all left, only Jing Biao, Ai Tianfan, Ling Jiu, Ai Yuhe, and Yang Ling-er were in the training hall .

“You have not let me down, Ling Jiu!”

Jing Biao walked up to Ling Jiu . “Three of you follow me to the Super Training Camp tomorrow morning . ”

“So fast?”

Ling Jiu was startled .

“The camp will start on the day after tomorrow . So you have got to register today . ” Jing Biao reminded him .

“All right . ”

Ling Jiu nodded helplessly . That meant his original plan was ruined .

“You two, do pack up tonight too . ”

Jing Biao turned to Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er . “Together with Ling Jiu, follow me to the Super Training Camp tomorrow morning . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er nodded .

“You two have got the other two places?”

Ling Jiu looked at the two girls . “Why didn’t you two tell me earlier?”

“You didn’t ask . ”

The two girls giggled .

“Fine!”

Ling Jiu rolled his eyes . There were three openings for Chang’an Base City . He had not expected that these two girls had seized the other two places .

He was not questioning how Ai Yuhe got a place . But what about Yang Ling-er? Was her arcana very exceptional?

“All the best . ”

Jing Biao patted Ling Jiu on his shoulder, then left with Qi Tianfan .

“Congratulations, Brother Ling!”

Another guy came up . It was none other than Ai Jiacheng, who used to be pretentious in front of Ling Jiu .

Now he had a hospitable and humble smile on his face . “You are awesome, Brother Ling . Even the four contenders aren’t your match!”

Ling Jiu put up a smile . Ai Jiacheng might have apologized in front of Wang Chao last time, but Ling Jiu still did not like this haughty, rich and spoiled brat .

“It is after working hours . Do you want to have dinner with me?” Ling Jiu asked .

Before Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er could answer, Ai Jiacheng chimed in instantly . “Sure! Sure! Let’s go to dinner together!”

“We have got to celebrate your winning, getting the last seat . Besides, you all are leaving tomorrow . Treat this as a farewell dinner . ”

“Then let’s go together!”

Since Ling Jiu and Ai Jiacheng had said so, there was no reason for Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er to say no .

They left the company and came to an upscale restaurant nearby .

“What would you like to eat, Brother Ling?”

Ai Jiacheng had an ingratiatory smile on his face as he put the menu in front of Ling Jiu .
