Chapter 365: Chapter 363- A Figure Bathe In Crimson Flames

During seclusion, Sol’s Fist Intent had reached a bottleneck that felt like an insurmountable wall he wasn’t able to pass no matter how great his comprehension was or what he tried.

On his trip back to the Academy he had planned on going to the General Library and the Martial Arts Library so he could gain a deeper understanding of Fist Intent.

He had never imagined he would master Fist Intent, so he barely had any knowledge of it. Thus, he could only rely on himself while in seclusion.

But despite that, he had mastered his Fist Intent to the peak of the Greater Mastery Realm. There he felt that an insurmountable wall as well as a fog that was clouding his mind.

However, now things were different.

Seeing Althorne’s Domain, Sol now knew what direction he needed to take. He felt like the fog clouding his mind had been obliterated upon seeing this Domain.

With overflowing eagerness, Sol lifted a shaking hand towards the palm approaching him, at the same time, golden energy suddenly erupted from his body and covered a meter in radius around him.

It was Fist Intent.

However, if one senses were sharp, one would be able to discern that Sol’s Fist Intent was going through a qualitative change.

As it did, his Fist Intent actually started giving off the same feeling as Althorne’s Domain. The space surrounding him also started to segregate from Althorne’s Domain.

The pressure on So’s shoulders drastically reduced, and his shaking hand steadied. But at this time, Althorne’s invisible palm that was condensed from heavenly might reached him.

Clenching his fist, Sol used his Heavenly Domain Fist and threw out a punch. A giant golden projection of a fist slightly smaller than Althorne’s palm flew out.

BANG!!!

An explosion echoed out as the heavenly palm crashed down onto the golden fist projection.

Two domain-like powers clashed, and it was absolutely shocking.

The barrier around the stage completely shattered after holding out for so long.

The disciples were finally subjected to a portion of Althorne’s Domain and Sol’s Heavenly Domain Fist, which caused their faces to pale. At the same time, the windstorm from the clash between the two attacks swept towards them and flung them away like ragdolls.

On the stage, Sol’s feet were firmly planted in the ground, his back as straight as an arrow while resisting Althorne’s palm attack.

However, even though he was as steady as a mountain, the stage below could not handle the force and Sol started sliding back with his feet buried in the stage.

At the same time, his Heavenly Domain Fist was unable to stand up to Althorne’s palm attack and was directly shattered, leaving him to use his physical body to resist the remaining force of the attack.

Regardless of this, Sol’s face remained unperturbed.

Though his eyes continued to flicker as he analyzed Althorne’s Domain. As he did, his Fist Intent gradually started to condense on his body, slowly going through its final changes.

Meanwhile, Sol started to fall into an enlightenment trance.

After a few breaths worth of time, Althorne’s palm attack was resisted by Sol. However, he was shoved back all the way to the edge of the stage.

The disciples who were relatively fine were in an uproar because Althorne had actually managed to force Sol back.

Althorne lowered his hand and was seen smiling as he said.

“Big Brother Sol, it looks like I w-”

However, Althorne’s words got stuck in his throat when he looked at Sol.

Sol still had his hand outstretched in the same position he was in while facing Althorne’s palm. The Fist Intent, which was around a meter in radius previously, had condensed to become a faint shimmer on his body.

When Althorne observed these changes, his pupils couldn’t help but constrict.

However, he quickly recovered, and he smiled and said.

“Very well Big Brother Sol, let’s do that one more time.”

Althorne suddenly left his foot and ruthlessly stomped down. His Domain erupted with power before the remaining force within condensed into a giant foot that crashed down onto So’s head.

This attack was slightly stronger than the palm strike, and there was even a tinge of gold within it making it visible to the naked eye. At the same time, streaks of Holy Energy started to rise from the stage but quickly stopped.

It was as if the Domain was about to transform but was being suppressed.

From this attack, it was obvious that Althorne intended to interrupt Sol’s enlightenment on the ridiculous pretense that Sol’s unmoving figure was him issuing another challenge.

Yoon-Jae who had been silently watching the match had his eyes grow cold and immediately flew out towards the stage.

Mar-Dule’s reaction wasn’t any slower, but unlike Yoon-Jae’s fury that was reserved, Mar-Dule released his fury with an enraged bellow.

“Bastard! You want to die that badly?!!”

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Yoon-Jae and Mar-Dule shot towards the stage, meanwhile, the disciples below were somewhat shocked by the sudden change in events.

However, Althorne’s attack was extremely decisive and quick.

The foot would trample Sol before Yoon-Jae and Mar-Dule could arrive to help him.

Yoon-Jae and Mar-Dule started to panic. However, at this moment, a figure covered in flames suddenly shot down towards the stage from beyond the formation separating the Mortal Arena and Earth Arena.

He moved almost at the same time Althorne had made his attack, as if he had been waiting to step in from the beginning.

In the blink of an eye, this person who was bathed in crimson flames crashed down onto the stage in front of Sol.

Cracks spread out along with crimson-hot flames on the stage.

Through the flames surrounding his body, this figure glared maliciously at the Althorne and the golden foot approaching. Then within a flash, the sword by his waist was drawn and he slashed out once, twice, three times.

In the blink of an eye, three sword strikes shot out, one more powerful than the next. They formed Sword Formation that radiated the power of a Domain.

It was also similar in power to Sol’s Heavenly Domain Fist, meaning this Sword Art was at the very least at the Heaven Grade.

The Sword Formation and the foot clashed, and another shockwave swept out on the stage. Domain force clashed against Domain force, however, a Domain resulting from a Technique could not stand against a true Domain.

As a result, the Sword Formation was destroyed. The figure in crimson flames was shoved back and coughed up a mouthful of blood from the backlash.

At the same time, the crimson flames surrounding him dispersed, revealing his appearance.

It was a youth no more than seventeen. He had disheveled hair and clothes, along with a few stubbles of a beard growing on his chin.

He looked extremely haggard; however, anyone would be able to tell with a glance that this person was Woo-Seong.

Despite having his Sword Formation destroyed, Woo-Seong continued to glare maliciously at Althorne and the feet.

But he didn’t make another move, that was because he had accomplished his goal.

His Sword Formation had delayed the foot just long enough for Yoon-Jae and Mar-Dule to arrive on the stage.

Immediately after arriving, they erupted with their cultivation base and a frigid sensation spread out as Yoon-Jae waved his hand to create a ten-meter-thick icicle. It shot up from the ground toward the feet.

At the same time, Mar-Dule Sky Expanse Realm was on full display and the terrifying fluctuations sent out by him caused Althorne’s Domain to destabilize.

The strength of the foot drastically decreased because of this as it met Yoon-Jae’s icicle.

The scene of Yoon-Jae’s icicle meeting the foot resembled a giant accidentally stepping on a slightly big needle.

Without any surprise, the icicle pierced the weakened foot with ease, destroying it.

As the foot dissipated, Althorne retrieved his Domain.

Yoon-Jae and Mar-Dule were glaring at him, however, Althorne wore a smile in return as if he hadn’t just tried to sneak attack Sol to disrupt his enlightenment.

Meanwhile, Woo-Seong had long turned around to look at Sol, ignoring the clash between Yoon-Jae, Mar-Dule, and Althorne.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The Fist Intent surrounding Sol had condensed back into his body.

Blinking a few times, Sol awakened from his enlightenment, and he lowered his hand before looking around.

His enlightenment had only lasted for a few breaths worth of time, but a lot had happened during that time. So Sol was slightly confused when he saw Yoon-Jae and Mar-Dule on the stage all of a sudden.

“Brother Sol!”

Before Sol could recover from his state of confusion, he heard an excited shout before someone rammed into him and hugged him.

“Huh? Woo-Seong?”

Despite his haggard appearance, Sol was able to immediately recognize who this person was.
