I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 52: Heavenly Soldiers

"Summoning the wind and rain?!!"

When Zhong Cang thought of this term, the Silver Dragon Fish leaped into the air out of nowhere, roaring like a Flood Dragon, and with the power of the raging wind, it charged towards the sky.

Afterward, it circled in the air for a while and actually summoned dark clouds and rain.

This scene made Zhong Cang have a realization.

"If everything goes as expected, when the Silver Dragon Fish awakens its spiritual resonance, I will gain the ability to summon the wind and rain... Yes, it is said that the Silver Dragon Fish possesses the bloodline of a dragon, and summoning the wind and rain is a special skill of the dragon race. It is not surprising to comprehend this spell."

"As for now, I need to cooperate with the Maple Flower Integrated Union and also need some time to accumulate and guide the Spirit Beast avatar, the Silver Dragon Fish, to summon the wind and rain."

...

Due to the low quality of spiritual energy, a simple Spirit Beast avatar does not possess strong power.

But with the Unity of Human and Sword, the Spirit Beast avatar, when integrated with the sword of the Integrated Union, undergoes a tremendous transformation and truly gains the ability to fight.

And strictly speaking, this ability is also related to Yan Lingdie.

The sword of serendipity that she informed Zhong Cang about, as well as the Flame Spirit Slash, gave Zhong Cang endless inspiration.

The combination of inspiration and enlightenment is what has made Zhong Cang create such a powerful Spirit Beast avatar.

Hmm, the Unity of Human and Sword is also important. Without this characteristic, the sword Maple Flower and the Spirit Beast avatar would not be able to integrate.

However, as he watched the Silver Dragon Fish swimming freely in the sky, a bitter smile appeared on Zhong Cang's lips.

"It seems that I really need to find another sword."

"No, one sword is probably not enough. I have five Spirit Beast avatars, so I need at least five swords, plus one for personal use. I need six swords."

...

Considering that there are no other swords, Zhong Cang can only experiment with Maple Flower.

Summoning the other four Spirit Beast avatars, Zhong Cang let Maple Flower merge with each of them one by one.

Then, he discovered that the wind attribute of Maple Flower can only merge with the Silver Dragon Fish and the Fierce Tiger for now.

Dragons are associated with clouds, and tigers are associated with wind, so they can merge perfectly.

But it doesn't work with turtles, monkeys, and deer.

"So, what I lack the most is an earth attribute sword, a fire attribute sword, and then a wood... No, the last one should be the best Thunder-Striking Peach Wood Sword."

This requirement is indeed quite high.

What makes Zhong Cang unsure whether to cry or laugh is that his mana and spiritual consciousness are insufficient, so he can only summon one Spirit Beast avatar to fight at a time.

Therefore, the matter of swords is not urgent for him.

...

The appearance of the Spirit Beast avatars filled Zhong Cang with confidence. He believed that in the next few days, even if Yan Lingdie advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he would not fear her.

At least, he could contend with her.

However, soon, something happened that slapped him in the face.

Five days later, Yan Lingdie sincerely told Zhong Cang what it meant to be a powerful member of the Gold Core family's direct line.

On that day, Zhong Cang arrived at the training ground early, and so did Yan Lingdie.

And when she arrived, there was an undisguised excitement on her face.

Seeing her joyful expression and feeling the overflowing fire attribute spiritual energy from her body, Zhong Cang immediately understood that she had advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, the same level as him.

And indeed, when she saw Zhong Cang's figure, she couldn't help but share this news with her good friend.

"Hehe, Zhong Cang, I've advanced!"

After announcing it loudly, she proudly said,

"Hmph, I remember the humiliation you gave me a few days ago. Now it's your turn to suffer!"

Although the proud Yan Lingdie said that Zhong Cang humiliated her and threatened to make him suffer, there was no anger or hostility on her face, but rather a lot of laughter.

Obviously, this was just a joke between friends.

At the same time, such words also indicate that she will not leave after defeating Zhong Cang.

Zhong Cang had anticipated this. Sword Heart can enhance one's comprehension, and even the descendants of the Gold Core family cannot ignore such a thing.

However, although he knew that Yan Lingdie would not leave even if she won, he did not want to lose if possible.

The Spirit Beast avatar gave Zhong Cang confidence in victory.

Therefore, in the face of Yan Lingdie's confidence, Zhong Cang calmly said, "Let's talk big after the battle. I have also made progress in these few days. The outcome is still undecided."

"Hmph, no matter how much you've improved, I will win this time," Yan Lingdie replied.

With these confident words, the two of them stood apart on the platform of the private training ground.

Uncle Shui served as the referee.

"Begin."

"Boom..."

With Uncle Shui's shout, flames immediately rose from Yan Lingdie's body.

The bursting flames converged into a humanoid form around her. What caught Zhong Cang's attention was that the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit that surrounded Yan Lingdie this time was only 2.4 meters tall, much smaller than the 3.5 to 6 meters it was before advancing.

However, looking at the newly appeared Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit, Zhong Cang did not underestimate it. Instead, he felt a sense of seriousness.

The Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit in front of him was indeed smaller, but more refined, like a substantial human form.

What made Zhong Cang even more serious was that the bursting flames on the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit had condensed into a set of mysterious armor.

The armor was covered in runes, with flames swirling around its sleeves. This scene made the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit look like a true celestial soldier.

Without daring to be careless, as soon as Zhong Cang saw the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit, he drew his sword and lightly tapped it, applying the Sword Heart's buff to himself.

"Hum!"

Just as Zhong Cang drew his sword, Yan Lingdie made her move.

"Bang!"

Amidst the sound of the ground shattering, she charged towards Zhong Cang at high speed like a red meteor.

This momentum reminded Zhong Cang of the terror of being attacked by Yan Lingdie for the first time.

Too fast!

Having advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, Yan Lingdie had experienced a significant increase in both spiritual power and physical strength.

Her powerful physique gave her terrifying explosive power. Before the ground had even shattered, she had arrived in front of Zhong Cang like a shooting star, and the sword in her hand was slashing towards him with great force.

"Clang!"

The extreme calmness brought by Sword Heart, as well as the eruption of his physical potential, allowed Zhong Cang to block this sword.

However, the result of the direct confrontation was that Zhong Cang's wrist shattered, and blood flowed out. Even his sword, Maple Flower, was sent flying.

"See that? I told you, the current me is not someone you can... hmm!"

"Sizzle..."

"Boom!"

Being overwhelmed by Zhong Cang head-on, Yan Lingdie let out a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but show off a little.

However, before she could finish speaking, a palm of thunder struck the chest of the Brilliant Flame Heavenly Spirit, leaving Yan Lingdie startled.

"How is this possible? Your hand... can also use that move?" she exclaimed.

Indeed, this palm infused with the power of thunder was emitted by Zhong Cang's left hand.

This was something Zhong Cang had never revealed before and had used it as a secret move.

Now, this secret move proved its worth.

Taking advantage of Yan Lingdie's momentary carelessness, Zhong Cang's powerful palm of thunder struck her chest heavily.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Yan Lingdie was sent flying by Zhong Cang's palm.

However, as the roar dissipated, the result of this palm made Zhong Cang fall silent.
