Chapter 7 Quick Walkthrough Guide: The God of Elements (Twenty-Two)
"Strange, where are the people?"
I looked around with doubt in my heart, but found that the guard was standing not far away, staring at me coldly...
My heart tightened, and the guard's gaze made me feel uneasy. I pretended to be calm and walked in front of him, and asked casually, "Mr. Ernest? Why can't I see him?"
The guard glanced at me coldly, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "How can an outsider like you be able to ask about the whereabouts of my young master?"
I cursed inwardly, but I could only suppress my anger and pretend to be indifferent: "I am just concerned about my future opponent. After all, I am looking forward to the next match with Morpheus."
After that, I ignored him and walked to a corner of the training ground to practice the element manipulation skills taught to me by the old wizard. I closed my eyes, concentrated my mind, and felt the elemental forces flowing in the air around me. They were so active and so powerful that they seemed to be able to be used by me as long as I guided them a little.
I tried to follow the old wizard's instructions and channel a strand of fire elemental power into my palm.
At first, I only felt a weak current of heat, but as I kept trying, it grew stronger and eventually formed a dancing flame in my palm.
"Everything can burn, even stone can melt into magma"
"It's done!"
I was filled with ecstasy. This was the first time I felt the existence of elemental power so clearly. Everything in the world is made up of elements.
I am excited to try to combine more elements and bring this power to its fullest.
However, at this moment, I suddenly felt a cold murderous intent coming from behind me. I turned my head sharply and saw the guard standing not far away, staring coldly at the flame in my hand, with a strange smile on his face: "So you have this ability, I have to tell the young master about this..."
Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
After the figure of the guard armor disappeared, a chill rose from the soles of my feet and rushed straight to the top of my head. I knew that he would definitely tell Morpheus about this, and with his character, he would definitely not let me go easily during the game, and he must fight for victory.
I clenched my fists, and the flames in my palms began to flicker more violently. Although I didn't know how Morpheus would deal with me, I would not sit still and wait for death.
I want to be stronger, strong enough to protect myself, strong enough to stand beside him and fight alongside him. We are not enemies.
In the following days, I practiced the technique of element manipulation more diligently. I tried to guide different elemental powers over and over again, feeling them flowing through my body.
I knew that the armor was secretly watching me, but I ignored him. I knew that his every move would eventually reach Morpheus' ears. What I had to do was to let him see my determination, my progress, and my determination to be worthy of him.
Finally, the day that Morpheus and I had agreed to compete arrived. I arrived at the training ground early, but found that Morpheus was already waiting there.
He was wearing a fiery red magic robe today, and his golden woolen curly hair shone like gold in the sunlight. His 1.9-meter height showed off his white and slender neck.
His face is really beautiful, like an angel, and my eyes light up when I see him. He is so handsome! Who doesn't love a handsome guy? Morpheus had a meaningful smile on his face, and his beautiful eyes were shining with cunning light. He likes me too, right?
"It seems that you have made great progress in this period of time."
"Are you concerned about me? I'm quite happy."
Morpheus' voice was still so cold, but it carried a subtle hint of amusement. "But don't think you can defeat me this way."
“I don’t like weak ones.”
I took a deep breath and tried to calm the turmoil in my heart. "I know you are strong, but I will not give up easily."
I said firmly, staring at him intently, "Today, let's have a good fight!"
Morpheus smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He slowly raised his right hand, and a ball of red flame slowly rose in his palm.
"Glass Calming Heart Fire"
"Very good, then let me see how much you weigh!"
I looked at the flame in his hand, and suddenly a bad feeling came over me. This flame was emitting blue and pink light, and the temperature was very high. This was the flame condensed from the hydrogen element in the air.
"Be careful!"
Morpheus' voice suddenly rang in my ears, and before I could react, the ball of fire turned into a red lightning and rushed towards me!
"Hydrogen Explosion"
"Bang!"
"The element decomposition ability is so strong that I can control the elements in the air at will."
Morpheus's fire attack whizzed past my ears, and the scorching air wave almost swallowed me. I was shocked, this guy's strength is stronger than I thought.
No, if I keep going like this, he will kill me! Taking advantage of the gap between his attacks, I dodged and escaped from the center of the arena.
"Why, are you scared?"
"Afraid? I'm not afraid. I'm afraid of hurting you. After all, you're so handsome. I don't want you to suffer."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Morpheus' voice. He obviously saw through my intention and said, "I advise you to admit defeat and avoid physical pain."
"The smooth-talking kid needs a good lesson"
I looked at the confident Morpheus in front of me, and suddenly an idea flashed in my mind. Yes, I have been pursuing breakthroughs in skills, but I have ignored my own strength!
I am a soul from another world. Deep inside my heart, I have endless potential!
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and felt the flow of the elements around me. Gradually, I felt as if I had merged with this world, and the elemental power in my body became more active.
"What are you doing?" Murphys was puzzled when he saw that I was not moving.
I opened my eyes and looked at him, with a confident smile on my face. "Nothing, I just suddenly figured out something."
I slowly raised my right hand, and a ball of red flame slowly rose from the palm of my hand.
This ball of flame was more condensed and stronger than before, as if it contained infinite power.
"you……"
Morpheus looked at the flame in my hand, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but soon regained his composure. "It seems that you want to have a serious fight with me?"
I clenched my fists, feeling the power surging in my body, and said word by word: "Come on, let me see your true strength!"
"Beating is love, scolding is love. The more you beat me, the more you love me."
"Why are you such a jerk?"
"It doesn't matter if you act mean in front of the person you like, it's you anyway"
When the second round of the battle started, I didn't passively defend like before, but took the initiative to attack. This time, I integrated the power of elements into my attack. Every punch and kick brought a wave of scorching air, forcing Morpheus to retreat again and again.
"Oh? Looks like you've found some feeling."
Morpheus blocked the attack and looked at me with interest. The gleam in his eyes made me realize that the battle had just begun.
"That's cool. I don't like those who are too weak."
Of course, I would not be satisfied with the temporary advantage. I kept mobilizing the elemental power in my body and tried different ways of attack. The flames jumped on my fingertips, turning into fire snakes and flying towards Morpheus. I even tried to wrap my fists with flames to make my attack more fierce.
Although Morpheus was caught off guard, he was an experienced warrior after all and quickly adapted to my attack rhythm. He was light and graceful, like a dancing butterfly, and he always managed to avoid my attacks at the right time.
An occasional counterattack would always hit my weak spot accurately, forcing me to be more cautious.
"Your strength has indeed improved a lot, but your skills are still far from perfect!"
Morpheus' voice passed by my ears, and then there was a sharp pain in my chest. I staggered back a few steps before I managed to steady myself.
I took a deep breath and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth. I knew that Morpheus was right. Although my strength had improved, my skills could not keep up.
Compared to the skilled Morpheus, I am like a child who has just learned to walk. I have brute force but don't know how to use it.
"Come again!"
I roared and rushed towards Morpheus again. This time, I no longer sought to defeat the enemy with one blow, but tried my best to control my own strength and make myself more flexible and agile.
We fought back and forth in the arena, and the battle was extremely intense. The spectators were so stunned that they didn't even dare to breathe.
"This kid can actually fight the young master to a draw?" Guard A said in surprise.
"Makabaka, biu, woooo"
"Yeah, it's incredible!" The referee couldn't help but sigh.
