"The Temple of the Sacred Flame?"


Zhang Ruochin showed a puzzled expression.


Long Ze, a master, let out a cold snort: "You still want to keep hiding? In the Five Elements Continent, someone with such high fire power as you can only come from the Holy Fire Palace. Heh heh! Even if you are from the Holy Fire Palace, don't think you can control me."


Longze*shi has his own plan in mind. Although he can't afford to provoke the Temple of Holy Fire, the Temple of Holy Fire still can't dominate the Five Elements Continent with just one hand. After killing this prodigy from the Temple of Holy Fire, it wouldn't be a big deal to join forces that oppose the Temple of Holy Fire.


Most importantly, since he's a prodigy from the Sacred Fire Temple, his body must be filled with extraordinary treasures. If we could get our hands on those treasures, perhaps my cultivation could reach new heights, breaking through the limitations of mortals.


On thinking of this, Longze *Shi became incredibly excited and decided to give it his all no matter what.


"Aww!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?
Under Long Ze's control, the ice crystal dragon let out a deafening roar and swooped down, striking Zhang Ruochin with its claw.


Zhang Ruochin stood straight with sharp eyes. He kept his right hand behind him, but extended his left arm and pointed a finger, striking the dragon claw.


"Solar Pulse Sword Wave."


The tip of the thumb, emitting a crimson glow.


A sword road, as thick as a bowl, flew out and collided with the dragon's claw.


<<< Bang! <<<


The dragon claw was shattered by the sword qi, breaking into shards and turning into wisps of ice crystals.


Long Ze's magical power was immense, and under his control, the ice dragon's claws quickly reformed and attacked Zhang Ruochen once more.


The cultivation base of this person is indeed formidable. With just a single Xuanji Ice Dragon, it's estimated that they wouldn't be able to hold him back.


Long Ze's eyes turned icy cold, and he pressed his palm onto the top of the skull. A surge of black light emanated from his palm. In an instant, thirty-six ice swords materialized, arranged into a sword formation, flying towards Zhang Ruochin.


Suddenly, "Whoosh whoosh."


Under the attacks of the Profound Ice Dragon and thirty-six Frost Blades, Zhang Ruochen's pressure increased manifold.


The indigenous humans of the Five Elements Ruins cultivate magical power, giving them a significant advantage in ranged combat. I must close the distance to regain the upper hand.


This is the power of the Twelvefold Elephant.


Zhang Ruochen unleashed the fifth palm of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm, his arm rapidly striking out, delivering twelve consecutive palm prints.


Twelve palm prints overlapped, merging into one massive handprint that erupted with twelve times the palm force.


"Bang!"

With just a single palm strike, immense power shattered the Xuanji Ice Dragon into shards of ice crystal.

Having cultivated the sixth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, this technique has advanced from a mid-grade spiritual skill to a high-grade spiritual skill. Naturally, the power of the palm technique has also increased.

The fifth palm strike, which could previously unleash nine times the attack power, can now unleash twelve times the attack power.


Having shattered the Profound Ice Dragon, Zhang Ruichen burst forth from the thirty-six ice swords. His body bent into a bow shape, and with a powerful thrust of his legs, he shot upwards like an arrow, soaring over a hundred meters high towards Long Ze Shi at the peak of the cliff.

Ryuzawa, the master, never expected that young man to possess such powerful physical strength. He dared not engage Zhang Ruochen in close combat.

<<< As she rapidly retreated toward the deep chasm, she wielded her crystal staff, merging thirty-six ice swords into one. This created a colossal sword ten meters long which she swung towards Zhang Ruochin, attempting to halt his advance. >>>


Before the giant sword even fell, a powerful wave of sword energy ripped apart the ground beneath Zhang Ruochin's feet, causing the earth to shift outwards on either side.


The power of this sword is formidable, even Zhang Ruochin wouldn't dare to underestimate it.


Here it is:<<<"Drawn!" >

>>>Let me know if you have any other translations you'd like me to do!


The Zij Lei sword flew out of its scabbard and landed in Zhang Ruochen's hand.


Zhang Ruochen immediately poured his true qi into the sword body, activating the seventy-two electric seal patterns, producing a deafening “crackling” sound. Countless lightning bolts flew out from the sword body, condensing into the phantom of a thunderous beast.


There was a loud boom.




Zhang Ruochin shattered the ice giant sword with a strike, then charged out again, slashing with his sword once more. It was the "Soul-Breaking Wind's Echo," one of the Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing.





This swordsmanship has reached the realm of mastery, comparable in power to a low-grade Ghost-level martial art.


Dragon's gaze hardened, he instantly raised his crystal staff and thrust it forward, erecting a nine-layered barrier of defensive light before him.


Oh no! Damn it!


Zhang Ruochin let out a low roar. The Zi Lei Sword's momentum was unstoppable, piercing through the defenses Dragonze Shi had set up like it was cutting through nine layers of paper.


"

"


The Crystal Staff and the Violet Lightning Sword collided.


The tremendous explosive force transmitted through the war sword sent Ryuze*shi reeling backward. He stumbled, missing a step and falling off the cliff into the poisonous chasm below.


"Wow!"


Zhang Ruochin unleashed the swordsmanship of Jian Xin Tong Ming, striking out with his Zi Lei Sword. It transformed into a flying sword, aiming at the descending Long Ze Shi.


When the Zi Lei Jian flew back, its blade was stained with a streak of blood.


Zhang Ruochin knew very well that with Longze Shi's strength, just now's sword strike could only have injured him at most and wouldn't be enough to kill him.


Zhang Ruochen leaped, plunging off the cliff and chasing into the depths of the ravine.


Since we've already wounded him, we should take the opportunity to kill him.


As long as Zhang Ruochin can kill Master Longze, he will be able to obtain one hundred military merit points and reach the standard for the third round of assessment.


In the deep valley, black miasma filled the air, obscuring vision and making it difficult to see anything more than ten feet away.


Zhang Ruochin activated his Sky Eye, so he was unaffected.


"This deep valley is the lair of Master Longze, it must be heavily guarded with formations. It's best to be careful. However, a powerful figure like Master Longze built his lair in this poisonous mist valley for a reason. Could there be something extraordinary hidden within?"


Long Ze *shi hid himself so well that even Zhang Ruochin, who possessed the Heavenly Eye, couldn't detect his whereabouts.


The more so this was the case, the more careful Zhang Ruochin became.


Suddenly, a figure flashed ahead, and Zhang Ruochen immediately chased after it.


He chased for a while, but the figure disappeared.




Zhang Ruochin, at a distance, discovered a deep well leading to the underground. At the mouth of the well was an array arranged in a formation.


"Wow!" Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!


With a single sword strike, Zhang Ruochen effortlessly broke the formation. Subsequently, he jumped down into the deep well.


It fell more than twenty meters before reaching the bottom of the well.


The space at the bottom of the well was very wide, with stone walls on all sides. On the stone walls hung iron rings and chains, seeming like a dungeon.


On one side of the stone wall, a cave had been carved out, with an iron gate securely bolted shut.


As Zhang Ruochin broke open the iron gate, a scream from a woman echoed through the stone prison.


<<>>


They seemed frightened, immediately curling up in the corner with fearful eyes, staring at Zhang Ruochin.


In another corner, there were two nude female bodies, covered in blood, seemingly having died very recently, with the blood still fresh.


"This Long Ze *shi really deserves to die!"


Zhang Ruochin's eyes turned cold, and he immediately retreated.


Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly. Above, a deafening roar echoed through the air.




Then, the mouth of the deep well seemed to be blocked by a heavy object, all light disappeared, and the surroundings became pitch black.


"Wow!"


On the stone wall, a series of engravings appeared, forming a black array of light.


As the formation was activated, the dungeon's stone walls transformed into metal, becoming walls of copper and iron.


Longze's voice rang out above, hoarse and cold, with a sinister smile: "Boy, this old man has used the Five Elements Formation to transform the earthen stone wall into a Xuan Tie Iron Wall. Even if you have supernatural abilities, don't even think about escaping from inside. Hahaha! Just wait for death in there!"


Zhang Ruochin remained calm, and with a single palm strike, a deafening metallic clang echoed through the air.


On the wall, there appeared a five-inch deep palm print.


"Such a hard metal wall."


Zhang Ruochin's fingers touched the cold metal wall, a smirk playing on his lips. "Five elements transforming, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth."


Even a layer of golden wall

could not contain Zhang Ruochin.


Although the five elements generate each other, they also restrain each other.

In this case, fire overcomes metal.

Although Zhang Ruochin appeared very calm, the women imprisoned in the dungeon panicked, as if disaster was imminent, filled with fear and anxiety.


"Wow!"


Zhang Ruochen took out a light-attribute spirit crystal, holding it in his hand.


As true energy poured into the spirit crystal, a brilliant light emanated from within, illuminating the entire dungeon.


Seeing the light, those women instantly fell silent. Over a dozen beautiful eyes stared at Zhang Ruochin all at once.


They were all very curious. This handsome man before them, what kind of person was he? How could he have angered Master Ryuze to such a furious degree?


In their eyes, Longze *shi was a devil-like figure, with overwhelming magical power, unmatched by anyone. He once single-handedly destroyed an entire city.


They were brought here to be the lowest of slaves, able only to do their utmost to serve Master Longze. The slightest slip would mean certain death.




Therefore, they were terrified of Master Ryūzetsu to the extreme and couldn't believe that anyone in the world could possibly be a match for him.


Zhang Ruochen stared at them, pondering. If he used his fire power, the entire dungeon would be incinerated.


As for Zhang Ruochin's cultivation level, of course he wasn't afraid of flames. However, most of the women who were captured were ordinary people. Once Zhang Ruochin unleashed his power over flames, they would be turned to ashes in an instant.


If it were another student, they definitely wouldn't care about the lives of these natives. They would just be indifferent to their deaths and wouldn't affect their martial arts heart at all.




Zhang Ruchen was different. If those women were truly burned to death before his eyes, his martial heart would definitely be burdened with knots, possibly leading to stagnation in his future cultivation.


Could it be that Master Ryūzaku brought me to this dungeon already anticipating this?


Zhang Ruochen's brows furrowed even deeper, secretly thinking, "There must be other ways."


Every person has weaknesses, Zhang Ruochin is no exception.

Zhang Ruchen's martial arts were almost perfect, flawless. However, they lacked ruthlessness. Such a person would often be targeted for their weaknesses and fall into a passive position.
