Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 1
The difference between offensive and defensive spiritual arts lies in their energy consumption. Offensive arts consume a vast amount of spiritual energy, whereas defensive arts require only a minimal amount to maintain. Therefore, defensive spiritual arts are fundamental for a spiritual master's survival.
If Kartis Man had a defensive art similar to the Sun Flame Wall, even if Blaze Regret defeated the Floating Thunder Mink, he could only stare helplessly.
Time quietly passed by.
Under the dense tree canopy that resembled dark clouds, a figure stood motionless. A gentle breeze blew, causing a few emerald green leaves to flutter down like broken winged butterflies.
At that moment, the figure's eyes suddenly opened, a sharp glint flashing within them. His fingers began to emit a faint red glow.
"Sunfire Finger!"
With a low shout, Blaze Regret brought his fingers together like a drawn sword and thrust them forward forcefully. The intense heat emanating from his fingers caused the moisture in the emerald green leaves to evaporate rapidly.
"Hiss!"
Without the slightest resistance, Blaze Regret's fingers pierced through the leaves and continued their momentum, striking heavily against the thick tree trunk.
"Boom!"
His fingers, glowing with fire, embedded themselves deep into the trunk. When he pulled them out, a small, charred hole appeared on the tree's surface.
In the tree canopy, Master Magi yawned out of boredom. With a wave of his hand, a few leaves detached from the trunk, slicing through the air like spinning blades and hurtling downward.
"Sun Flame Wall!"
Hearing the sharp sound from above, Blaze Regret's body tensed instantly. He thrust his palms forward, and a faint red spiritual energy surged, forming a thin, tangible wall that stood in front of him.
"Clang! Clang!"
The sharp leaves struck the Sun Flame Wall directly, embedding themselves at an angle but unable to penetrate further.
Exhaling lightly, a faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret's face. After a day of practice, the Sun Flame Wall could now withstand the attacks of a ninth rank high level Novice class spiritual beast.
"You've made some progress, but there's still a way to go. Although you're currently only a seventh rank spiritual novice, the density of your spiritual energy rivals that of a first rank spiritual warrior. If you can advance further, even some imperial class spiritual beasts won't be able to break through your defenses."
Despite his words, Master Magi nodded in satisfaction. After just one day, Blaze Regret had managed to master two spiritual techniques simultaneously, showcasing his remarkable talent.
Seeing Blaze Regret finally stop his practice, a trembling Red, who had been playing with a sandworm in the bushes, joyfully dashed over, wagging its little tail.
"Tap! Tap!"
Just then, a commotion of footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the courtyard, interspersed with a few angry shouts. The entire Blaze family seemed to be in turmoil at that moment.
"It seems something has happened," Blaze Regret's eyes narrowed slightly, a heavy feeling settling in his heart.
How long had it been since such a situation occurred? The last time was when the family had just arrived in Veloria City and went to war with the Snow family.
"Blaze Tot, what's going on?"
As soon as Blaze Regret stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the hurried expression on Blaze Tot's face and quickly pulled him aside to inquire.
Catching his breath, Blaze Tot smiled bitterly and said, "Just now, the Second Elder sent word that the family's convoy transporting goods outside was attacked, suffering heavy losses."
"What? What about my father?" Blaze Regret's eyes turned icy cold as he scanned the surroundings, not seeing the figure he was looking for.
"Don't mention it. Isn't the Angsana Pavilion Festival about to start? The people from the Angsana Pavillion Workshop summoned the heads of the four major families this morning. The Snow family probably took advantage of this gap to launch a devastating attack on our family," Blaze Tot said with a bitter smile.
"Blaze Regret, hurry back to your room. All the family members who have reached the level of spiritual warrior have already gone out to provide support. I need to head there quickly too."
Waving his hand, Blaze Tot quickly ran out with the Blue Flame Beast by his side.
Several figures flashed past in front of him, and a cold gleam gathered in Blaze Regret's eyes.
Returning to the courtyard, Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi, who was leisurely floating in mid air, and softly said, "I need your help."
Shaking his head slightly, Master Magi replied helplessly, "I only promised to help you with your training. I have no obligation to save your family members. In my current state, every time I make a move, I suffer backlash, unless..."
"Unless what?" Blaze Regret asked urgently.
"Unless you can find a part of my original body." A sly look flashed in Master Magi's eyes.
"No problem. As long as you can help the Blaze family out of this danger today, you can even refine me if you want." Seeing that Master Magi was willing to help, Blaze Regret felt a quiet relief and quickly agreed.
"It's not that terrifying. It's still early. Perhaps after you participate in that Angsana Pavilion Festival, you'll have the qualification to help me find my original body."
Master Magi nodded in satisfaction and looked at Red. "I can't intervene directly. I'll need to borrow your body. This process might be extremely painful."
"Woof!"
With a determined look in its eyes, Red glanced at Blaze Regret and firmly nodded its little head.
"Then endure it!"
Master Magi's face suddenly turned serious. He formed a seal with his hands, and a wide beam of light, about ten feet in diameter, descended from the sky, enveloping Red. Golden runes slowly rotated along with the spinning beam of light.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking echoed as Red's body rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, it grew to human size. Its fluffy tail, like a burning flame, waved in the air, exuding a wild aura.
"Woof!"
Enduring the pain, Red let out an angry Cat howl. Its Cat paw extended, and its claws, sharp as blades, sliced a piece of hard rock in two.
Finally, its body trembled, and a faint red ripple spread out, causing even the air to distort slightly.
