Suddenly, extremely cold Dou Qi gushed out from Hai Bodong's body as if responding to anger, enveloping the room in an instant further than before which was just a warning.
The temperature dropped sharply, enough to freeze warm water in an instant, and for an ordinary Dou Shi practitioner, it could be a blood-curdling torture.
However, El remained calm. El's hands were still busy selecting maps, as if not bothered in the slightest by the gripping icy Dou Qi.
To be honest, for El, this cold reminded him of modern-day air conditioning. In fact, he was a little nostalgic for the comfort of the air conditioner in his home in the original world.
With his extraordinary physical endurance, the Zixuan Spirit Flame Heavenly Flame and the Beast Flame Accopanying Purple Esssense in the body, this kind of extreme temperature was not a problem for him.
Hai Bodong, who was standing upright with both hands folded on his back, frowned slightly.
That boy's calmness... was it a sign of absolute confidence, or mere arrogance?
What was clear was that the boy, who was still busy choosing a map while his back was turned, was digging his own grave.
With a casual movement, Hai Bodong extended his right hand forward. Instantly, several sharp ice blades formed around him.
With one light movement, as if he was just flicking something, one of the ice blades shot straight at El.
However, El was ready. Although still pretending to choose a map, El silently took out White Fire from Sky Pearl Poison.
The sword hovered behind, spinning like an airplane propeller with incredible speed, deflecting the darting ice blades with perfect precision.
Seeing this, Hai Bodong frowned. Was it out of surprise, or just caution? Clearly, this boy before him was not as simple as he seemed.
Finally, El placed the map in its original place and turned around quietly.
White Fire stopped spinning, remaining still in the air. With a casual gesture, El reached out with his right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword.
"Old man, why do you intend to kill Ji? What's wrong with that?" he asked in a flat, calm tone.
Hai Bodong gave him a sharp look, then grinned sarcastically. "Boy, you have many tricks. But, let's see... how far those tricks can save you."
The blades of ice around Hai Bodong shot towards El with incredible speed. However, El remained calm. His eyeballs transformed into Rinnegan's.
The Eye of Insight activated, instantly, the world lost meaning in color, leaving only black and white. Everything slowed down in his sight, allowing El to read the trajectory of each blade of ice with perfect precision.
A Dou Qi robe as purple as an ocean of stars suddenly enveloped the body, while a purple-colored Beast Flame flowed into the White Fire sword, giving the blade a fiery purple.
"Heavenly Flame?" muttered Hai Bodong, slightly surprised to see the blade of the White Fire sword enveloped in fiery purple flames. However, his eyes immediately narrowed, sensing something different.
"No... This is not Heavenly Fire," he continued in a serious tone. "This aura is wild and savage... This is Beast Flame!"
Hai Bodong's gaze sharpened, remembering something. "The boy two days ago also had a Beast Flame... His aura is similar, but his feels more restrained."
"What's with those weird eyeballs?" said Hai Bodong curiously, never having seen eyes like the boy's before him.
On the other hand, with practiced hand movements, El swung his sword.
Cras! Cras! Cras!
Every blade of ice that shot out shattered instantly, unable to penetrate his defenses.
At the same time, Hai Bodong had moved. In an instant, he was already on El's right side, his palm wide open, flowing with ice-type Dou Qi so cold that the air around him froze.
However, El had already noticed the movement from the start. As long as the opponent wasn't Dou Wang, let alone Dou Huang, the reaction speed without Selfless State and Demon Slayer Mark Enhancement would still be able to keep up.
El immediately twisted the body, using White Fire's flank to block Hai Bodong's attack.
BOOM!
A violent impact occurred, creating a shockwave that shook the room.
El's body bounced far away, hitting the wooden wall of the building and breaking through. However, it was not because El was unable to dodge, but because he chose to take the attack.
El wanted to test his physical endurance in the Dou Shi Realm, while facing a human existence as powerful as an early Tier 4 Authority, which was previously a peak Tier 4 Authority.
In the courtyard of the building, El finally came to a halt after being pushed ten meters away. However, his body did not suffer any injuries.
Calmly, El patted his robe, shaking off the dust.
On the other hand, El could not help but marvel at the enhancements provided by a Dou Shi's Dou Qi Cloak: Sturdier defense, increased speed, and perhaps even stronger attack power.
"Impressive improvements," El thought, staring at his palms. "Probably about two to three times as much... A far cry from Dou Zhe who only increased by about 1.5 times."
A thought always crossed his mind. If this effect was combined with the enhancement of the Demon Slayer Mark, how formidable would he be?
In his current normal state alone, El was already extremely formidable. If all the upgrades he had were combined, he would probably be transformed into a true living tank.
After all the upgrades are combined, El's strength shoots far beyond the limitations of ordinary humans. With a STR of 573.75, VIT of 1061.44, and AGI of 573.75, his body becomes an almost invincible war machine.
{Notes: Spam Rinnegan Jutsu again? Let's hit the enemy mentally. See Vitality? This is crazy! Because he doesn't have the law of Chakra, El still relies on Stamina}
From the perforated wall, Hai Bodong stepped out casually, stroking his beard. "Hmm, your body is quite strong... Young people these days are good at physical training, huh?"
However, Hai Bodong paused for a moment before continuing, his tone turning more serious. "But..."
In an instant, far more ice blades than before, numbering in the dozens, were created and floated around Hai Bodong.
Not only that, even a transparent dome made of ice-type Dou Qi surrounded the area. Without Hai Bodong's permission, no one could pass through.
"If that's all you've got, then you're going to die, boy," Hai Bodong said, starting to take El more seriously.
As if in response to those words, the ice blades floating around him shot out at high speed towards El.
El smiled slightly, watching the blades of ice approach. The White Fire in his hand moved nimbly, slashing at the incoming blades of ice one by one.
"Impressive," muttered Hai Bodong, while focusing on creating the ice spear in his hand. "I don't feel any external force from this boy, unlike the boy two days ago."
Just as El smashed through all the streaking ice blades, Hai Bodong advanced quickly, the ice spear in his hand ready to strike.
Dang!
A loud boom sounded, emphasizing the air, as Hai Bodong's ice spear collided with White Fire. Sparks of ice and purple flames flew out, creating small firework sparks.
White Fire swung back, creating a trail of purple flames that followed its every move. At the same time, Hai Bodong spun the ice spear in his hand with incredible speed, swinging it with the precision of a veteran.
The two weapons met in an intense exchange of attacks, creating loud booms and waves of wind that shook the entire battle area.
Suddenly, blades of ice again formed around Hai Bodong, swirling rapidly like a sharp storm ready to tear El's body apart in the midst of their fierce battle.
Utilizing the perception of the Rinnegan's Eye of Insight, El stepped faster.
El leapt high into the air, not intending to dodge the battle. After all, the ice dome that Hai Bodong had created from the start had already surrounded this area, trapping him.
