Ah Chun - Volume 1 Chapter 286 Soul Flame

All of Ah Chun’s matches progressed, in the same manner, Ah Chun’s qi condensation matches were all forfeited by her opponents before they stepped foot on the battle stage. All of the foundation establishment opponents were all easily defeated by Ah Chun as she used dreamscape to send them flying off the battle stage. With this Ah Chun made it to the final matches of both the qi condensation and foundation establishment realms.

Standing in front of Ah Chun now was a young man in his early twenties who was a rank nine qi condensation cultivator. He looked at Ah Chun nervously as he had seen her sending foundation establishment cultivators flying. He himself did not know if he would be able to win this fight at all, well, more like he knew he would not win this fight. But he could also not bring himself to forfeit the match after working so hard to reach the finals.

As the fight started the young man did not move nor did Ah Chun. She planned to let the young man make the first move since although he seemed to know he could not win he still stood firmly on the battle stage. This made Ah Chun have a large amount of respect for him. The Young Man looked at Ah Chun for a few seconds before suddenly shouting out: “I will attack you with my trump card. If you are able to block it then I will forfeit.”

“If that is what you want then I will happily play along!” Ah Chun respected this young man evermore. He was willing to at least throw everything he had at her before forfeiting.

The young man pressed his hands together and formed a few hand signs. Four blue flames appeared around him that slowly got bigger and bigger. Ah Chun looked at these flames and could sense that she should not touch them no matter what. She was a little surprised to see that this young man’s trump card was able to give her a sense of danger. She quickly shook her head, it was a trump card after all.

The Four blue flames finally reached their peak. The young man looked at Ah Chun and shouted out: “Be careful! These flames will never go out once touched.” He lowered his hand and the four balls of blue flames shot out at Ah Chun.

The balls of fire were extremely fast as they arrived at Ah Chun in almost an instant. The heat of the flame was immense and could be felt even before it arrived. Ah Chun was shocked at how fast these balls of fire were. She quickly dodged them using her dancing lotus technique allowing her to swiftly and quickly pass them. But just doing this was not enough as the balls of fire stopped mid air and changed direction heading back towards her. Ah Chun realized that dodging was not going to work. So she had no choice but to wave her hand, sending out four beams of sword lights made of sword qi and spiritual qi wrapped in the dao of fire at the balls of fire.

*Boom!*

A thunderous explosion accord rocking the entire battle stage. A large cloud of dust and smoke filled the air making it hard to see the battle stage. Everyone stared in anticipation to see whether not Ah Chun was able to deal with the fireballs. This was the first match where she was forced to react to an attack. Xia Yang looked at the battle stage unperturbed. He already knew the outcome of the match.

As the dust settled everyone saw a little figure standing there with four blue flames surrounding her. On the other side of the battle stage, The young man was on the ground coughing up blood staring at Ah Chun in astonishment. He could not figure out how she did it. This was his clan’s hardest technique to learn and yet she did something and now his technique was out of his control! Wiping his mouth and slowly staggering his way to his feet the young man yelled out: “I forfeit but I have to know how did you do it!? How did you sever the connection I had with the soul flames?”

“It was quite easy actually. But I will not explain it. Knowing will not help your clan’s technique grow any stronger since it is a fundamental flaw within the technique itself. I will say that I hope that you only use this on those of the same level as you. Otherwise, you can die from the backlash.” Ah Chun did not want to say how she did what she did since it will make the technique useless in battle and only cause damage to the user as he did but Ah Chun had also reduced the backlash he would receive by a lot.

The blue flames were created from his soul. The name soul flames was appropriate for it. But these flames also have a bit of the user’s will embedded into it making them almost like a spiritual weapon. As such these things need to be bound by the user. All Ah chun did was remove the bound forcefully which causes a backlash. She then took the flames as her own. But because it was not made with her soul, if someone else did the same to her in the future she would not suffer much of a backlash since her soul was not used to form the flames. Ah Chun waved her hand and kept the flames. She was now the owner of the blue soul flames and she would not give them back easily since they were indeed a good weapon.
