I alone am the Honoured One!

572  The Finals [3]

*woosh* Suddenly at this time, wind energy erupted from Rei Wian's body mingling with his flames, making his flames even brighter and more chaotic.

The swirling elements intertwined, creating a dazzling vortex of fire and wind that made the air around him crackle.

A smile appeared on Zhao Tian's lips 'Dual elementals?'

"You show off bastard."

Seeing the green wind energy coiling around Rei Wian's flames, the audience and the Wing Masters were surprised.

"Dual elementals?"

"Rei Wian has dual elementals?"

"WOAHHH!!"

"A genius..."

The fervor spread through the spectators like wildfire, their voices growing louder as the realization dawned. In the reserved section of the arena where the Wing Masters sat, the previously calm and composed elders exchanged startled glances.

"Dual elementals," muttered Rong Shan, the Wing Master of Sable Earth Wing and his brows furrowed as he leaned forward, his interest now thoroughly piqued.

"The combination of wind and fire isn't just rare... it's devastating in combat."

The Wing Masters exchanged knowing glances, their thoughts in unison despite their outward decorum: a genius like this could bring tremendous prestige to any wing.

An old man who was sitting last in the Wing master's position, Amethyst Dream Wing's master Xu Guangjing, smiled wickedly...

'That's it.. Show your talent, Rei Wian.'

He turned his gaze to look at the surprise in the eyes of other Wing Masters' faces savoring their astonishment like fine wine.

'Look, you all of you.. now I will see how you all dare to call me the weakest wing.. my Amethyst Dream Wing.'

The old man's chest swelled with pride as he glanced at Rei Wian.

"Didn't expect such a genius to be hidden within the outer disciples..."

As the realization of Rei Wian's dual elements sank in, an unspoken tension filled the air among the Wing Masters. "Such talent," mused Rong Shan, his deep voice carrying an edge of yearning. "It would be a shame if he stayed in a... lesser wing." He shot a meaningful glance toward Xu Guangjing, his disdain barely concealed. "Perhaps," Chan Haowen interjected

"Rei Wian would flourish under the guidance of a Wing Master who understands the intricacies of elemental balance. The Ebon Fang Wing would be a perfect fit."

"Or perhaps the Golden Sun Wing," said Wu Ming with a sly smile, her pride evident. 22:06

Eldric Grey broke his silence. "Dual elements mean dual responsibilities. A fighter like him needs more than raw power; he needs discipline. My wing can teach him that."

The reason is simply... fame.

If they accept a talented disciple, and if that disciple accomplishes any feats in the future, the disciple's master name will also be spoken.

Greedy of fame.

Ji Shuang stayed silent as her gaze flickered to Zhao Tian, who had a calm smile on his face 'And here is Master Tian, who can wield all seven elementals...'

Meanwhile, Yan Zijin's eyes quivered in regret and a sad sigh escaped her lips as she remembered someone after seeing the Dual elementals 'Shenyi... '

Hearing their murmurs of praising Rei Wian, Yao Jing pouted her lips, looking at the flames around Rei Wian's body. 'Just two elementals? Pathetic.'

'My disciple can use four elementals.'

With a proud smile, she uttered in an indifferent tone "My disciple is even better than this."

Hearing her words, the Wing masters turned to look at her and shook their head helplessly as one of them commented "If he is your disciple, Elder Yao.. then he must have fire elemental."

"Though I am honestly surprised, a man like Zhao Tian who excels in combat wanted to be an alchemist."

"Truly a shame."

"He would only waste his time learning Alchemy, he could devote his time to cultivation instead and hone his skills."

"Yeah, I can see his potential."

Yao Jing's lips twitched as she looked at the Wing Masters 'Fuckers, see the next time you come to Alchemy chamber for batches of healing pills and elixirs.. I am adding poison to them.'

Ji Shuang glimpsed at Zhao Tian again 'I wonder if master Tian wants to keep his elemental affinities a secret...'

'If words go out that he can control seven elementals, all these Wing masters would try to court him.'

Velnorah sat there without making any comments, her gaze fixated on Zhao Tian as his long hair fluttered in the mid-day breeze 'My Hubby looks cool.'

Eldric Grey had a thoughtful look on his face 'Now that I think of it, isn't Zhao Tian's elemental lightning? Then why did she accept him as disciple?'

'Did she make him her disciple for his good looks? Eh?'

...

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Rei Wian, unaware of the commotion his display had caused, floated tall amidst his swirling elemental vortex.

Zhao Tian, however, remained unfazed and tilted his head, his white hair shimmering in the fiery light, "So, this is your trump card?" Rei Wian's grin widened, his eyes alight with excitement. "It's more than enough to deal with you."

*WOOSSHHH* With that, he thrust his spear forward, the combined force of fire and wind exploding from its tip like a raging inferno. BOOM!

The arena shook as the attack surged toward Zhao Tian, a spiraling column of destruction that seemed impossible to evade. Yet Zhao Tian remained rooted in place, still keeping the smile on his lips "Let's test your strength, then." *WOOOSHH* As the attack closed in, Zhao Tian raised his hand and the crowd held its breath as the fiery maelstrom engulfed him, obscuring him from view. For a moment, all was silent. *SWOOOSHH* Then, a shockwave erupted, scattering the flames and wind in all directions.

Amidst that, Zhao Tian was floating with no injuries and no burn marks on his body.

Rei Wian's blinked his eyes in disbelief. "You..." The audience roared once more, their excitement reaching fever pitch as the battle between the two prodigies intensified. Rei Wian's smile widened as he looked at Zhao Tian "You really are something else, Zhao Tian..."

Gripping his spear tightly, his figure disappeared like a blur in the air, his speed enhanced by the wind elemental.

He raised his spear above his head as the flames swirled around him and brought it down towards Zhao Tian in a wide arc, the air crackling with the pressure.

*THOOOM* Zhao Tian raised his hand, parrying the shaft with his forearm as the shockwave rippled through the entire arena.

Raising his head, Zhao Tian smiled as a spark of blue lightning passed through his eyes...
