I alone am the Honoured One!

574  The Finals [5]

The dust had barely settled before Rei Wian raised his head, bloodied but grinning and his crimson spear pulsed faintly as he mustered the last reserves of his strength. "And you called me a show-off, bastard?"

Zhao Tian's lips curved into a calm smile, his red lightning crackling around him as he glanced at Rei Wian.

The audience was also startled to see the red lightning and they instantly understood that the red lightning is caused by fire elemental.

"He actually has two elementals?"

"Just like Rei Wian..."

"What the hell..."

Hearing the murmurs, Li Jia smiled dryly and glanced at Zhao Tian, a smile forming on her lips.

Rei Wian's spear glowed with flames, flickering with arcs of wind that spiraled around it and he took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling as a fiery aura erupted around him.

*tap* Zhao Tian landed on the cracked arena floor, his fist crackling with red lightning "I hope you are not over yet."

Rei Wian spat blood onto the ground and gripped his spear tighter. "Of course not, you bastard."

With a blur, Rei Wian charged, his spear thrusting forward with blinding speed.

*swish* The flames and wind around the weapon roared to life, forming a fiery spiral as it tore through the air toward Zhao Tian's chest. CLANG!

Zhao Tian deflected the attack with his forearm, his skin reinforced by lightning energy. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

*thrissh* Sparks flew as the clash of fire, wind, and lightning echoed throughout the arena.

Without hesitation, Rei Wian followed up with a sweeping strike, aiming for Zhao Tian's legs.

WHOOSH!

Zhao Tian leaped over the spear, his red lightning flaring as he came down with a devastating punch aimed at Rei Wian's head. BOOOM!

Rei Wian barely twisted out of the way, the shockwave from Zhao Tian's fist smashing into the ground and leaving a crater. *THOOM*

Without missing a beat, Rei Wian countered with a spinning slash, the edge of his spear trailing a searing arc of flame.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Zhao Tian ducked and weaved, his movements fluid as he dodged each strike by mere inches.

Lightning surged through his body as he lunged forward, his fists glowing with red lightning as he unleashed a barrage of punches.

BAM! BAM! CLANG!

"Grrghhh!" Rei Wian gritted his teeth as he parried with his spear, each block sending jolts of pain through his arms. His fiery aura intensified, merging with the wind around him as he countered with precise thrusts and slashes. *swoosh* Their movements became blurry as they exchanged blows.

*crackle* Zhao Tian's fists crackled with red lightning as they collided with Rei Wian's spear, the impact of each strike sending shockwaves through the arena. "You're getting slower," Zhao Tian remarked, dodging the spear's thrust.

Rei Wian snarled. "Then let me speed things up."

He spun his spear, the wind around it forming a vortex that shot toward Zhao Tian like a hurricane.

Flames ignited at its core, creating a fiery storm that swallowed the battlefield.

With a smile, Zhao Tian's red lightning surged outward in a protective storm, splitting the fiery vortex in two.

*flick* He dashed forward, his movements leaving afterimages as he closed the distance in an instant.

*THANG* Zhao Tian grabbed the spear mid-thrust, his lightning-coated hand gripping it like a vice.

The collision of their energies sent a deafening explosion across the arena, causing the ground beneath them to crack.

Rei Wian's eyes narrowed as he gripped the spear. With a twist of his wrist, Zhao Tian wrenched the spear from Rei Wian's hands, the weapon spinning in the air before clattering to the ground far away. *clank* Rei Wian stumbled back, his palms burning from the energy recoil but he clenched his fists, refusing to yield.

"Hand-to-hand, huh? Fine."

 Rei Wian spat blood and charged forward, his fists enveloped in fire and wind.

Zhao Tian met him head-on, red lightning crackling around his fists like sparkling thunder. The first clash was a thunderous collision of raw strength.

BOOM!

Rei Wian's fiery punch connected with Zhao Tian's forearm, a burst of flames and sparks erupting from the impact.

Zhao Tian countered with a lightning-imbued uppercut that slammed into Rei Wian's ribs, sending him skidding backward. "Gugh!" Rei Wian quickly spun on his heel, using the momentum to deliver a fiery roundhouse kick aimed at Zhao Tian's temple.

Zhao Tian ducked, his hair ruffling from the heat, and countered with a punch straight to Rei Wian's gut. "ARGHH!" Rei Wian gagged as the blow knocked the wind out of him, but he clenched his teeth and swung wildly, his fists blazing with fire.

Zhao Tian's fist shot forward with a crackling storm of red lightning, and smashed into Rei Wian's shoulder.

CRACK!

"Arghh!" The sickening sound of bone dislocating echoed across the arena, and Rei Wian staggered, his fiery aura flickering with instability. Before Rei Wian could recover, Zhao Tian surged forward as his leg swept through the air, coated in a violent surge of lightning and connected with Rei Wian's thigh.

THOOM!

The sheer force of the impact reverberated through the ground, sending shockwaves rippling outward. "Ugh!" Rei Wian's leg buckled beneath him, and he dropped to his knees, his breathing ragged and labored.

With a swift spin, Zhao Tian spun on his heel, and the kick crashed into Rei Wian's back, impacting him like a thunderclap as it drove him downward.

*THOOM* The arena floor buckled under the force, shattering into a cloud of dust and debris as Rei Wian's face smashed into the floor.

The air was filled with the sharp scent of scorched earth, and blood dripped from the corner of Rei Wian's mouth as his body trembled from the devastating blow. His fingers clawed weakly at the shattered ground as he struggled to get up but before he could push himself up, Zhao Tian's foot slammed down on his back, pressing him down on the ground. "Stay like that."

As Zhao Tian spoke, a sudden chill filled the air, and the cracked ground beneath them began to shift as icicles crept outward in jagged patterns, shimmering in the faint light of the arena.

CRACKLE! HISS!

In an instant, shards of ice erupted from the floor, snaking around Rei Wian's arms and legs with terrifying speed.

The frost spread like living chains, locking his limbs into place with unrelenting grip.

"W-what…?" Rei Wian's voice was hoarse, his breath visible in the sudden cold.

He struggled against the icy restraints, but they only tightened, freezing him in place as his fire and wind energy sputtered as if muted by the encroaching cold.

HUH?

A wave of disbelief and shock rippled through the crowd. The Wing Masters were startled to see this and some stood up their seats in shock "Third elemental?"

"Three elementals?"

Xu Guangjing, clenched the armrests of his seat so tightly as his face twisted in frustration and disbelief. 'Three… How is this even possible? This was supposed to be Rei Wian's moment! This can't be happening!'

However, at this time, Zhao Tian felt a sudden spark within his body and blinked his eyes in surprise 'Ah fuck.' ------------------------------------------------
