Chapter 369: Victory and Defeat

In this private exchange, Ye Xuan and Long Hanjie were not prepared to make it public. They sought out the academy’s leadership, applied for a closed sparring ground, and then began their confrontation. Around them were no strangers, only some familiar friends of Ye Xuan and Long Hanjie, as well as Chen Ya and Chu Han.

They were all curious. How much stronger had Ye Xuan become compared to Long Hanjie? The two stood face to face, and Long Hanjie asked, “Can we begin?” Ye Xuan smiled and replied, “Let’s start.”

Immediately, Long Hanjie let out a dragon roar, and his body instantly swelled in the wind, transforming into a nearly hundred-meter-long ancestral dragon form. The imposing ancestral dragon form charged towards Ye Xuan without hesitation.

With a thought, Ye Xuan summoned the Luxian Sword and the Zhuxian Sword in his left and right hands, respectively. Holding the two swords, he slashed forward. Suddenly, in the void, huge illusions of the two swords appeared.

The moment these illusions appeared, they were filled with the power of water and fire elements, transforming into a gigantic Flame-shaped Luxian Sword and an Azure Water-shaped Zhuxian Sword. The massive water and fire dual swords ruthlessly slashed down towards the ancestral dragon form.

Although these two elemental swords were in form, they also carried the terrifying killing power of the Luxian Sword and the Zhuxian Sword, making Long Hanjie feel a strong threat. His ancestral dragon form had high defense, speed, and strength. Relying on his great agility, Long Hanjie managed to dodge the slashes of the water and fire dual swords.

However, before he could rejoice, he dodged the slashes but the two swords intertwined and collided. As the saying goes, water and fire do not mix. These two completely different forces fiercely collided, carrying the sharpness of the Zhuxian Sword and the murderous aura of the Luxian Sword.

At the moment of collision, a burst of terrifying energy erupted. Long Hanjie managed to evade the direct slashes of the water and fire dual swords, but he couldn’t escape the impact of the energy unleashed after the collision. The terrifying energy struck his dragon body.

Although the ancestral dragon form had strong defense, the water and fire dual forces carried the aura of the Luxian Sword and the Zhuxian Sword, breaking through his defense, and the water and fire forces invaded Long Hanjie’s body.

For an ordinary person, under this attack, they would likely be severely injured. Fortunately, Long Hanjie was in his ancestral dragon form, skilled in defense. Under the explosion of energy, he was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Reverting from his ancestral dragon form to his human form, Long Hanjie’s entire being underwent a drastic change. His clothes were tattered, with some parts burned through and others soaked. His face and body were a mix of red and blue, with the red areas burnt and the blue areas frozen, experiencing the extremes of fire and ice.

Trembling, he looked at Ye Xuan and exclaimed, “You freak, when did you gain new abilities? Weren’t you only able to control electromagnetism and wield two swords? How come you now have water and fire dual forces?”

Ye Xuan shrugged and explained, “I don’t know either. I awakened new abilities after returning from a trip to the United States.” At that moment, Chen Ya interjected, “Ye Xuan, has your self-defense ability greatly improved?” Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes, I have mastered the power of water and fire elements. Through tempering with these elemental forces, my physical strength has also greatly increased.”

Chen Ya agreed, “Indeed, Hanjie, you shouldn’t have challenged Ye Xuan at this moment. His abilities have just been enhanced. Aren’t you just asking for trouble?” Chu Han, upon hearing his wife’s words, remarked, “Wife, it seems you understand why Ye Xuan’s abilities have improved?”

Chen Ya nodded, “Of course. Ye Xuan’s enhanced abilities stem from the power of his mind. Everyone knows that he witnessed several times the slaughter of the people of China, deeply moved by it. His abilities have advanced one after another because he keenly feels his own inadequacy in power. After each advancement, his destructive power becomes stronger, but his defense weakens.

This time, when he went to the United States to save people, I warned him to be cautious about his safety. His safety is related to the fate of China. Perhaps he also deeply understands this point. Realizing the importance of his safety, his abilities further evolved. In addition to his terrifying killing power, he has also gained a considerable defensive capability.”

Chu Han found it somewhat unbelievable, “Is it really so mysterious? Can a person’s talent continuously change due to their state of mind? Isn’t that terrifying?” However, Chen Ya countered, “This is a conclusion I have drawn after many observations. Each time it aligns perfectly, it cannot be a coincidence. Is it a coincidence once or twice, or even five or six times?”

After some thought, Chu Han said, “After so many instances, it shouldn’t be a coincidence. This kid Ye Xuan, his heart is filled with the mountains and rivers of China!” Long Hanjie, covered in burns and frostbite, sought some comfort, feeling uneasy as he heard his in-laws praising Ye Xuan.

At the same time, he was puzzled. Could this kid really be so selfless? Does he love the country more than himself? It shouldn’t be like this… Meanwhile, in the ruins of the warm spring town, a six-tailed white fox was embracing a golden-haired monkey.

Ye Xuan had subdued the Zombie Ancestor and had also saved the six-tailed white fox. The monkey could speak and even play with a phone. Upon seeing Ye Xuan’s live broadcast of subduing the zombie Ancestor, it immediately left the academy and headed straight for the ruins of the warm spring town.

Sure enough, the six-tailed white fox was still alive, and there were still a few humans in the warm spring town who had not been infected by the zombies and were also alive. In fact, after being captured by the zombie Ancestor, the six-tailed white fox had not been able to be of use.

The zombie Ancestor had originally planned for the six-tailed white fox to use its power of enchantment to attract tourists from all over, then become a food source for the zombie clan, providing them with blood. However, Chen Zhengdao personally intervened, threatening the zombie Ancestor, causing it to abandon its original plan. The ancestor then decided to keep the six-tailed white fox, thinking it might be useful in the future.

However, not long after, Ye Xuan came and drove the zombie ancestor away to the Purin Island, freeing the six-tailed white fox.
