Chapter 155: Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon

Xuanyu, what exactly was that? Qian Lei asked, his heart still throbbing in fear.

He was already used to Lan Xuanyu protecting him, even during training, since he was the weakest.

Youre right, Lan Xuanyu said. Once Ling Yiyi disappeared, this chap must have been released.

Qian Leis current Spiritual Power was comparable to Lan Xuanyus, well above 450. When his Soul Power broke through to the second ring, there was an explosive growth in his Spiritual Power. He was on par with Lan Xuanyu in this aspect. Further, Qian Lei had a very keen intuition and was great at sensing danger.

I dont recognize this soul beast either; it must be a mutated soul beast. Judging by its appearance, its foundation should be a Ground Fire Lizard. I just dont know what its cultivation is. It might be tens of thousands of years, then the metamorphosis occurred, because even if a Ground Fire Lizard evolved into a Ground Fire Dragon, it wouldnt have wings. However, this actually has wings and its body is covered in red scales. I highly suspect that after the changes appeared, it began evolving into a real dragon. Scarlet dragons are the prime example of a dragon with fire properties; it should be between a fire dragon and a scarlet dragon.

Once Lan Xuanyu calmed down, he formed his own analysis of this beast. This chap wasnt a real dragon, but it had already surpassed the level of a ground dragon.

Even those elites that had six or seven rings wouldnt be able to deal with it, let alone them. They would definitely die upon contact, so now they finally understood why Ling Yiyis gaze was so strange when she left. She was probably grieving for them, huh!

Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon! This was the name Lan Xuanyu came up with.

At this moment, the gigantic Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons gaze wasnt on the three groups that were scurrying away on the mountain but instead focused on the four groups at the bottom. There was no doubt that it was more interested in humans than those Ground Fire Lizards, which had already begun to attack those four groups of Elite Junior Class students.

Xuanyu, do you think Ill be able to summon such a powerful soul beast in the future? Qian Leis eyes lit up. Ever since gaining Lan Xuanyus enhancement, his summoning became more reliable and had a bit of dragon bloodline. Although it was different every time, their strengths were extraordinary.

Lan Xuanyu glanced askance at him. You? You can consider that after reaching seven rings. By the way, is the one I asked you to store still around?

Yes, of course. Im a very reliable person! Qian Lei immediately slapped his chest.

Liu Feng, who was pulling them along and speeding down, said in an annoyed manner, Its pretty hard to reach your level of shamelessness! I really admire how thick your skin is.

Get lost! Qian Lei rebutted.

Roar Another earth-shaking roar came. The Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon opened its mouth, and a second giant fireball began flying towards the four groups. In order to deal with the Ground Fire Lizards that were coming from all directions, the four groups had gathered together and begun to battle the Ground Fire Lizards. The incoming giant fireball was simply a disaster for them!

Lan Xuanyu suddenly had an idea and said to Liu Feng, who was helping them flee uphill, Quick, widen the gap between our team and Jin Xiang and Lu Qianxuns teams. That Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon seems to enjoy attacking areas with more people.

Yes, from the point it first appeared, it had attacked them without hesitation, and when both sides dispersed, it didnt even bother looking at them before directly choosing to attack the four groups on the ground.

What was the difference between the two clusters? The number of people!

Lan Xuanyus mind thought very quickly, and after learning from Yin Tianfan for so many years, he wouldnt be able to keep up with his master if he couldnt think fast.

Plus, he just recalled that Ling Yiyi mentioned about working in small groups when she was introducing how the qualifier would be conducted. Although she didnt say it explicitly, she seemed to be hinting that they may possibly face direct attacks from the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon so it was better to be in small groups. Or was there going to be a change?

Lan Xuanyu couldnt confirm all this right now, but he must try.

The Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon was simply too terrifying; nobody could predict its attacks. If they wanted to survive under such circumstances, they must first try their best to avoid dealing with its attacks directly.

Liu Feng had always trusted in Lan Xuanyus decisions. Three people in a team, three people moving as one body. They must have a core. And not just a core of battle, but a core of command.

Liu Fengs body moved in a flash, and he was no longer climbing upwards but sprinting in a direction.

Boom

The second fireball below exploded once again. There were scary waves of fire wreaking havoc, and a large number of Fire Lizards were blown off. There were obviously also students from the Elite Junior Class that were sent flying from the blast.

They never expected that this qualifier would be so horrifying and that they would face an opponent they couldnt fight against.

There were a total of 12 students in those four groups, and seven of them were instantly wiped out by the waves of fire while the rest of them were all scattered everywhere by the explosion.

It wasnt that they didnt want to dodge, but with the Ground Fire Lizards surrounding them, they didnt have the chance to escape at all! The loss was huge.

Lan Xuanyu kept observing the situation below. When seven out of 12 people were swallowed by the waves of fire and were eliminated from the qualifier, he immediately noticed the change in the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon.

The icy pupils of the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon looked upwards, at the top of the mountain.

At first, Lan Xuanyus team was not far from one another so they would be slightly closer when they climbed up. However, at this moment, Lan Xuanyus team had pulled away from the other teams while Lu Qianxun and Jin Xiangs teams appeared to be closer to one another.

Jin Xiangs team could fly and was obviously chasing Lu Qianxuns team on purpose. Who wouldnt want to be with a strong team, huh! As for Lan Xuanyus side, no one had a very good relationship, so none of them had any intention of drawing close to each other. With the horrifying situation below, they didnt even notice the increasing distance between Lan Xuanyus team and the rest.

In the next moment, the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon opened its mouth again and a third fireball flew directly towards the six of them.

Lan Xuanyu had been observing the movements of the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon below. Seeing the fireball spewing out quickly confirmed his theory. He yelled, Spread out, spread out quickly! Separate in small groups and maybe we wont trigger its attacks. Spread out, everyone!

He used all his might to shout and could be heard from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

No matter what, they were all still classmates who had been together for three and a half years! If he could help a little, he would do it.

Seeing the fireball heading straight for them, Lu Qianxun and the rest were scared witless. Jin Xiangs team quickly ran to the side, and Lan Xuanyus voice then traveled to them

Lu Qianxun had always been decisive. He acted quickly and grabbed Chang Jianyi as he yelled to Ye Lingtong, who was beside him, Jump down!

They were relying on their own strength to climb up, but seeing the fireball flying towards them, it was impossible to dodge by climbing up.

Lu Qianxun and Ye Lingtong leaped down, and a loud rumbling resounded above them.

A big piece of rock that was covered in flames was rolling down, about to smash their heads.

Chang Jianyi immediately released his Slow Down Soul Skill upwards and mitigated the speed of the falling rock. Lu Qianxun lifted his head and let out a long shout, Golden Lion Roar!

With his blaring roar, the descending rock shattered.

Ye Lingtong grabbed Lu Qianxun and released a white glow from her body. Her body suddenly stopped in midair. Then she put her palm out to the side of the mountain wall to reduce their speed, and the three of them landed on the midpoint of the mountain. The three peoples teamwork was simply impeccable.

Lu Qianxun didnt look in the Ground Fire Scarlet Dragons direction in the first instance, but instead looked at Lan Xuanyus team in the distance. At this moment, Lan Xuanyus team had already widened the gap between themselves and was climbing upwards in another direction.

Lu Qianxun took a deep breath and muttered to himself, Lan Xuanyu, amazing!

He had to admit that without Lan Xuanyus tip, he wouldnt have made the decision to get his teammates to jump down. They worked so hard to climb up ah! But jumping down was the best way to distance themselves from Jin Xiangs team and successfully disperse.

Lan Xuanyus judgment had undoubtedly saved these remaining people.

Those five remaining people at the bottom had already dispersed, with two people at one side and three at the other. They had created quite a distance between themselves.

A strange phenomenon happened at the same time.

After they had all dispersed, it was as if the huge Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon couldnt see them anymore. Its big tail swept sideways and it spewed fireballs, but its attacks were all on the Ground Fire Lizards around it.

It had proven that Lan Xuanyus judgment was right, and after they dispersed into small groups, the undefeatable Ground Fire Scarlet Dragon wouldnt attack them.
