Chapter 349: Penetrate! Pear Blossoms in the Storm!


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


In the arena, Denis faced three array formations.


Chains emerged from the array formations.


Dennis’ eyes flashed, and he bent his knees slightly. Like a cannonball, he bounced to the side, avoiding the attack from the chains.


The audience cried out in surprise.


Dennis’ explosive strength was too good.


If it were them, they would probably be on their knees.


But, If the array formation wasn’t completely destroyed, these chains would appear without end.


Furthermore, Shen Qiangwei was exceptionally proficient in Sword Kinesis Technique as well.


If Dennis did not destroy the array formation quickly, it would be very difficult for him to defeat Shen Qiangwei.


Dennis became serious.


Actually, he also had a feeling that today’s finals would not go so smoothly.


However, the stronger Shen Qiangwei was, the more excited he was.


He was the same type of person as Jian Wuchen. They were born for battle, and there was nothing more exciting to them than defeating a powerful opponent.


Dennis began to move non-stop. The chains were unable to keep up with his speed.


The expansion of the arena was also beneficial to him.


Dennis’ footwork was nimble. He seemed to be moving randomly, but he did have a plan.


A few minutes later, Dennis stopped and stood to Shen Qiangwei’s side.


“Shen Qiangwei, you know, I’m actually quite grateful to you for bringing me a brand new combat method.”


“You know how to set up array formations, and so do I.”


“Fire Snake Array, rise!”


Dennis made a quick hand seal, and the ground suddenly lit up with fire. An array formation appeared.


The audience was stunned.


“Ah… Dennis can work with array formations too?”


Everyone was extremely surprised.


Dennis clapped his hands and smiled. “Even though my skills aren’t as sophisticated as yours, they still work.”


Shen Qiangwei chuckled disdainfully.


If she wanted to, she could kill Dennis with a casual breath. And he would become nothing.


But she wouldn’t do that. It would expose her.


She was still under the impression that she had not been discovered.


Perhaps she was the only one who kept herself in the dark.


In the arena, several fire snakes as thick as water tanks emerged from Dennis’ array.


The fire snakes spat out flames, and the entire venue was instantly filled with flames. The temperature of the air suddenly rose, giving everyone a sauna experience.


As the match progressed, flames of various sizes were scattered all over the ground.


Dennis cultivated fire techniques, and he loved such a situation.


After hundreds of exchanged blows, Shen Qiangwei only had one array formation left, while Dennis’ was already destroyed.


Even without the array formation, he still had an advantage.


His strongest skill was fire techniques. The combination of fire techniques and ancient martial arts boosted his combat ability significantly, giving him the initiative of offense.


On the other hand, Shen Qiangwei controlled her flying sword steadily and calmly faced Dennis’ attack.


The two of them fought back and forth. Shen Qiangwei alternated between fighting and retreating, not giving Dennis any chance at all.


Dennis had done a lot of damage to Shen Qiangwei, but none of it was fatal.


Dennis began to panic.


He practiced fire techniques, and most of his fire-element attacks dealt AoE damage. Compared to other types of attacks, they consumed more True Qi.


“If this continues, my True Qi will definitely be depleted faster than hers.


“By then, even if she is seriously injured, I will still be at her mercy.”


Dennis realized this and felt he couldn’t play with Shen Qiangwei any longer.


Dennis pulled out a strip of cloth and blindfolded himself.


The reason why he did this was to guard against Shen Qiangwei’s illusion.


Jian Wuchen’s defeat gave him a warning.


He believed that as long as he covered his eyes, he would not be fooled by the illusion.


Although he could not see, it did not affect his movements.


Now that he was surrounded by flames, he could rely on the heat in the air to confirm his opponent’s location.


Shen Qiangwei was sneering.


Do you really think that you will be fine after covering your eyes?


How laughable!


Shen Qiangwei waved her arm, and several flying swords flew towards Dennis. At the same time, the chains followed.


Dennis looked calm as he formed hand seals and chanted. Flames erupted from the soles of his feet and instantly gathered into a ma.s.sive fireball.


“Fireball!”


Dennis controlled the fireball to meet the flying swords and chains, then swallowed them.


The temperature of the fireball was very high. The flying swords and the chains melted into a puddle of molten iron.


Dennis used his control of fire to split the huge fireball into two, fours, eights, and so on, forming countless small fireb.a.l.l.s.


These fireb.a.l.l.s were only the size of marbles, but there were many of them. When spread out, they were like a huge wall of fire, splitting the arena into two.


This was Dennis’ strongest attack. He was determined to defeat Shen Qiangwei.


The audience exclaimed once more.


This was what the finals should look like.


“Shen Qiangwei, feel despair!” A confident smile bloomed on Dennis’ face.


“Penetrate! Pear Blossoms in the Storm!”


With a wave of his hand, countless small fireb.a.l.l.s trembled violently like the bubbles in boiling water.


Swoosh swoosh swoos.h.!.+


The densely packed small fireb.a.l.l.s flew towards Shen Qiangwei like bullets. The cries they let out in the wind put despair in one’s heart.


There were so many small fireb.a.l.l.s that covered a wide area. No matter how agile Shen Qiangwei was, it was impossible to avoid them.


In an instant, Shen Qiangwei’s body was engulfed by countless small fireb.a.l.l.s.


The fireb.a.l.l.s continued to shoot.


The referee hovering in mid-air began to pity Shen Qiangwei.


He only needed to wait for the fireb.a.l.l.s to stop before he could announce the outcome of the match.


Dennis gasped for breath. The spell had nearly drained him of all his True Qi.


Without True Qi, one’s body would enter a temporary state of weakness, like it had just ended a long-distance sprint. One’s entire body would feel numb, and it would be very taxing.


Time ticked by.


The fireb.a.l.l.s were finally launched in their entirety.


The area where Shen Qiangwei stood was filled with thick smoke and flames. It was impossible to see the situation inside with the naked eye.


Under such circ.u.mstances, the person would essentially be dead.


But with the organizer’s protective magical artifacts, the partic.i.p.ants would not die.


The smoke slowly dissipated.


Everyone’s eyes were focused there.


Some people were already celebrating Dennis’ victory.


Dennis removed the cloth covering his eyes as well.


His body was very tired, and he wanted to sit down and rest.


However, he was the champion. He had to persevere for the sake of his image.


At this moment, a figure rushed out from the thick smoke.


“It’s Shen Qiangwei. She did not lose!” Some of the audience shouted.


Dennis paled at the sight of the charging figure.


His body instinctively dodged to the side.


But his body was too weak now.


No matter how strong his physical skills were or how rich his combat experience was, at this moment, he had become a lamb at the mercy of his opponent.


Shen Qiangwei grabbed Dennis by the neck and lifted him up.


At this moment, Shen Qiangwei’s entire body was charred black. Other than her private parts being covered by cloth, the rest of her body was exposed to the air.


Dennis was shocked and filled with questions. “How did you…” he asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice.


Shen Qiangwei smiled. “Even Jian Wuchen failed to defeat me, how can you?”


With that, she tightened her grip. The protective magical artifact on Dennis was activated. His figure turned into a streak of light and flashed to the side.


Dennis lay stunned on the ground, unable to accept the fact that he was defeated.


Then, the referee announced Shen Qiangwei’s victory.


At this point, the finals of the Qi Refinement group ended.


The crowd was in an uproar.
