Chapter 78: Good Fire Chooses the Right Tree to Rest on
Dong Xiaorou was stunned, and the Blood-Eyed Ghost's heart was beating wildly.
From the very beginning when he was in Xu Qianjun's body, he sensed the dangerous aura brought by Lin Chen.
But that was only because he was still in the Red Dress Realm at the time.
He never thought that this human player actually possessed such strength.
After Qiu Ziwen and the other two ghosts reacted, they quickly crossed the fire wall and carried the principal ghost back to Lin Chen.
The principal said in shock: "Teacher Chen, this is..."
Lin Chen said: "It's just a means of educating students. After all, Dong Xiaorou is still in my charge of the class. It shouldn't be excessive for me to deal with her, right?"
The principal was stunned and said subconsciously: "No... not too much."
The surviving human players, including Zhao Guoqing, were all dumbfounded. They simply couldn't believe their eyes.
Yuanlang stammered, "That thunder... no... couldn't it be caused by Uncle Chen?"
Ai Qiu's eyes were full of hope. She said, "Who else could it be if not him? Only Uncle Chen has the ability to use white lightning!"
Yan Yu was shocked: "Too powerful! Is this Bai Lei? He is even more powerful than in the video!"
Ai Qiu said: "Speaking of videos, do you remember the Haunted Restaurant?"
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock, remembering the dungeon video that was broadcast on the World Channel because of Uncle Chen's SSS rating.
In the same desperate situation, Uncle Chen stepped forward and started fighting with the dungeon Boss, and finally killed the foreman ghost with amazing strength.
"Could it be that Uncle Chen has broken through to the level of the evil spirit?"
"Is Uncle Chen going to be able to turn the tide again this time?"
The fire of hope ignited in everyone's hearts, but Zhao Guoqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke bitterly:
"Uncle Chen doesn't have any hammering method..."
These few short words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads. They all knew the significance of the Hammering Method.
If Uncle Chen is the fierce god who broke through without using the hammering method, then it means...
Yuanlang said with an unpleasant expression: "Why? Why don't you secret guards know how to train a genius like him?"
Zhao Guoqing took a deep breath and said weakly, "I didn't know he could improve so quickly! And Uncle Chen doesn't want to join any organization just for the Hammering Technique. The Hammering Technique is at the headquarters, and I don't have it, so there's nothing I can do."
Ai Qiu's pretty face, which used to be radiant with brilliance, gradually dimmed. She also questioned Zhao Guoqing, "Without the Hammering Method, even if you break through the Fierce God, you can't be the opponent of the Fire Ghost. The Fire Ghost is in the top 20 of the potential list."
The hearts of the people, which had just been lifted, fell to the bottom again.
Even though Uncle Chen's thunder magic is extremely powerful, the result can be imagined when a human player who has not used the hammer method to break through the evil god encounters an evil god in the top 20 of the potential list.
Lin Chen's ghost power began to explode, and his aura surged for a moment.
"Evil spirit?"
All the people and ghosts looked at Lin Chen, but soon the blood-eyed ghost shook his head and said in surprise: "This doesn't seem to be an evil god, or it's the weakest evil god."
Dong Xiaorou, who was originally shocked by Lin Chen's thunder magic, sneered and exploded her ghost power in a demonstrative manner.
The strength of this ghost power instantly overwhelmed Lin Chen.
Dong Xiaorou said: "I thought a real dragon appeared, but it turned out to be just a small fish. Although your ghost power is far beyond that of Hong Yi, it is not even as good as the weakest evil spirit."
Hearing this, the human players nearby all shook their heads and sighed.
“It seems that Uncle Chen really did not break through to the Fierce God level without the Hammering Method, and his ghost power is so weak.”
"It's a pity that Uncle Chen, who had risen to prominence, actually cut off his own path because of his breakthrough and became the weakest fierce god. If I tell others about it, it might surprise a lot of people."
"We are finished. Uncle Chen can't protect us in this situation."
Lin Chen withdrew his ghost power and sighed.
“There is still such a big gap.”
[Ghost Power: 999, Hidden Ghost Power 5000]
No one knew that although Lin Chen’s ghost power was now comparable to that of a fierce god, he had actually not made any breakthrough at all.
When gathering the hidden ghost power, Lin Chen was surprised to find that he had not yet reached perfection in the Red Clothes realm.
It seemed that there was no upper limit to the hidden ghost power. He had not reached the limit until all the ghost power fruits were used up and he had drawn a wave of rewards again, returning all the obtained divine coins to zero again.
On the contrary, his physical and mental strength increased a lot again.
And what Lin Chen guessed correctly was that the fruit conversion ratio of his physical and spiritual attributes was indeed greatly reduced.
After breaking through that stage, the conversion ratio dropped directly to 1 to 0.5.
At this time his information panel is:
【Physique: 2980】
[Spirit: 2500]
[Ghost Power: 999 Hidden Ghost Power 5000]
As for what comes with the basic fruit, there are two gold-quality rewards: an invisibility cloak and a skill upgrade scroll.
The ability of the invisibility cloak is that after putting it on, Lin Chen can use the power of the invisibility cloak to enter an invisible state.
Of course, this also has limitations. Like the invisibility cloak and the breath-concealing technique mentioned above, they can only block detection by beings that are one level higher than oneself, and cannot hide oneself from beings that are two levels higher than oneself.
It cannot be worn in combat.
But even so, it is still a magical weapon!
Lin Chen originally intended to use another skill upgrade scroll to improve the level of the Yi Jin Jing, but he found that the Yi Jin Jing had reached a certain limit of what he could bear.
So when Lin Chen wanted to upgrade again, the system prompted that the upgrade was impossible.
The reason was that his physique could not support the power of the sixth level.
At this time, he had discovered that the aura of the principal's ghost was gradually weakening, so he temporarily stopped practicing and stood up and walked out of the teaching building.
However, he didn't know what level his own 5000 hidden ghost power was at, so he used his ghost power to test it first.
The ghost power fluctuations on Lin Chen's body disappeared, and he returned to calm.
Seeing this, Dong Xiaorou sneered, thinking that Lin Chen had lost his confidence after feeling her strength.
Lin Chen looked at Dong Xiaorou and asked, "Are you the one who burned most of the students in the school to death?"
Dong Xiaorou was alert in her heart, but she still sneered. Her current strength gave her great confidence. She said, "Of course I did it..."
Before she could finish her words, she was stunned. Lin Chen, who was dozens of meters away from her a moment ago, suddenly appeared in front of her.
Lin Chen said coldly: "It's you who did it, just pay me with your life."
He swung out a slap, hitting Dong Xiaorou directly in the face.
It contained the powerful force of the Ten Slaps to Subdue Ghosts, and it directly turned Dong Xiaorou's body into a bloody mist.
"!!!"
All the people and ghosts in the audience were dumbfounded.
Dong Xiaorou, who was so arrogant just now, was killed instantly by Uncle Chen's palm?
The humans' brains short-circuited on the spot under the shock of this scene.
The blood-eyed ghost broke out in a cold sweat and cursed in his heart:
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple. Why are they all more powerful than each other? I finally came back to life, why do I have to face these monsters?"
"And this person is someone that this body has provoked before."
"No! What does the trouble caused by Xu Qianjun have to do with me, the Blood Eye Ghost?"
The principal ghost's eyes, which had gradually become cloudy and dim, suddenly widened. The power of Lin Chen's palm completely shocked him.
He had fought with Lin Chen before and knew the strength of Teacher Chen very well.
That's why he was more shocked than anyone else at Lin Chen's performance at this moment.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Dong Potian curled his lips. In his eyes, this meant nothing.
After all, the power that Lin Chen emanated faintly when he broke through had already made them realize how powerful Lin Chen was.
If Lin Chen had not restrained his breath at that time, that kind of powerful energy and blood power alone would have been enough to instantly dissolve the three red-clothed ghosts!
With the power of the copy, the blood mist emitted by Dong Xiaorou quickly condensed, and soon, Dong Xiaorou walked out from the firelight intact.
However, her expression was no longer as calm as before. She looked at Lin Chen with fear in her eyes and said, "I didn't expect there would be someone like you in this school! I was so careless."
Lin Chen slapped him again without saying anything.
Dong Xiaorou's body turned into blood mist again, but soon condensed into a new body. With the help of the copy, the speed of resurrection of this evil god was astonishing.
She retreated violently, quickly putting some distance between herself and Lin Chen.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Red Lotus Demon Fire!"
After being defeated twice, Dong Xiaorou was already extremely angry. She shouted loudly, and flames continued to condense around her, and the temperature rose again.
The whole school was like entering a fiery purgatory.
Several flaming lotuses in the sky fell towards Lin Chen, surrounded Lin Chen, and finally closed together.
Suddenly, endless flame power enveloped Lin Chen.
Zhao Guoqing looked grim, and shouted, "Not good, Uncle Chen is engulfed in flames. That is the Fire Ghost's natal fire. Even a three-star player who has condensed a large amount of hidden ghost power and broken through the fierce god will find it difficult to resist. Find a way to save Uncle Chen."
Yuanlang's face turned extremely pale, and he said, "When I was resisting the sea of fire, I had already used up most of my ghost power. How can I save him?"
Ai Qiu said: "We have to find a way. If Uncle Chen loses again, we won't have any chance at all."
Yan Yu had already lost confidence and shook his head, saying, "It's over. We can't intervene in a battle of this level. It's all over."
The principal ghost tried to hold on to his body and tried to get up. He wanted to stop everything, but he found that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Dong Potian, Qiu Ziwen and the others also looked a little nervous. Although they had enough confidence in Lin Chen, no matter how powerful a person was, they would not be able to resist easily when surrounded by such flames.
However, what they didn't know was that Lin Chen remained very calm despite being engulfed in the fire.
This terrifyingly powerful red flame was just a little hot to Lin Chen.
Now his physique is too strong, his defense is amazing, and the second is his talent for fire power.
Possessing this talent can reduce the damage of fire attacks and enhance one's own fire skills.
Therefore, this terrifyingly powerful red flame was just a little hot to Lin Chen.
"Fire Devouring Technique."
Lin Chen whispered, and did not use thunder magic to cut the fire lotus, but used the new skill he had just drawn.
The internal force in his body surged like a tide, and the flames attached to his body were directly absorbed into his body.
The huge fire lotus withered visibly, and then disappeared completely, revealing Lin Chen inside who was unharmed.
And it wasn't over yet. As the fire lotus absorbed the energy, the raging fire surrounding the school all rushed towards Lin Chen and was swallowed up by Lin Chen like a whirlwind.
"How is that possible? My Fire Lotus Bahuo."
Dong Xiaorou was horrified. She felt that her flame was actually swallowed by the man in front of her. Frightened, she hurriedly increased her ghost power and controlled the red flame.
However, all this was of no avail. Lin Chen's body was like an abyss, swallowing up large amounts of flames.
"This is……"
Dong Xiaorou's face showed panic because she felt that what Lin Chen absorbed was not the power of fire, but the origin of fire.
As the fire continued to flow into Lin Chen's body, her control over the flames continued to decrease.
This was just like how she felt when she was imprisoned in the cafeteria and the evil principal ghost used the power of the copy to steal her Red Lotus Fire.
She immediately gritted her teeth and took the remaining flames into her body, temporarily stopping the flames that were persecuting everything.
Han Longgen, who had been burned by the fire, finally fell to the ground. Although he was saved, he was already dying.
The flames died out, but there was still residual heat from the fire in the air. But just now, this heat was no longer a concern.
The whole audience was once again shocked by this huge change.
Lin Chen looked at Dong Xiaorou's panicked expression and smiled slightly, then he said softly:
"Fire Lotus Ba Fire!"
In an instant, flames even hotter than before surged out and wrapped around Lin Chen.
The flames wrapped around his body and finally formed a huge fire dragon. When it was in Dong Xiaorou's hand, the power of the Red Lotus Fire increased again.
This is due to Lin Chen's talent, the power of fire.
Dong Xiaorou looked ugly, because in just a moment, most of her flame was forcibly taken away by Lin Chen.
And they use it directly without any hesitation.
“You deserve to die!”
Dong Xiaorou yelled angrily, and Lin Chen pointed at Dong Xiaorou and said, "Go."
The fire dragon roared and swooped down towards Dong Xiaorou with overwhelming power.
Seeing the tremendous power, Dong Xiaorou subconsciously pushed the Fire Lotus Fire in her body again, and a huge flaming lotus condensed out.
Entangled with the fire dragon.
The lotus tried to wrap up the fire dragon. This was the power of origin. As long as the fire dragon was wrapped up successfully, Dong Xiaorou would be able to possess the full power of Fire Lotus Bahuo again.
There was a hint of anthropomorphic disdain in the fire dragon's eyes. He was transformed from the part of the red lotus fire that had just been absorbed by Lin Chen, and possessed a brand new will.
All the fire abilities stimulated by Lin Chen's talent for fire power will be amplified. Feeling all this, he cannot tolerate himself returning to Dong Xiaorou's hands, even if the other party is the fire ghost who gave birth to him.
A good fire chooses the right wood to rest on.
The fire dragon roared and bit the fire lotus, and the fire lotus tried to wrap around the fire dragon.
This is a battle for power.
Finally, under Dong Xiaorou's incredulous expression, the lotus was eaten up bit by bit, and the fire dragon's aura once again climbed to a new peak.
This is a fire dragon formed by all the red flames in the entire school, and it has the power to destroy everything.
His hundred-foot-tall body seemed to be reborn as he hovered above the playground, roaring wildly.
It was as if he was announcing his rebirth in front of everyone.
