”Entering the magma directly... that’s quite an interesting method!”

In an instant, Xu Ran’s eyes shone with golden light. Once this idea appeared in his mind, it became unstoppable. But how could this be achieved?

Xu Ran’s voice was not too loud nor too soft, but all the soul bodies outside the dueling arena heard his whisper, and they all gasped in astonishment.

”What did he just say? Enter the magma?”

”Isn’t this newcomer too audacious?!”

”Even if this newcomer has outstanding means, with a Great Success of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, he still couldn’t achieve that, right?”

”It’s doable, but entering the magma would mean entering someone else’s territory, wouldn’t it?”

...

Even the soul bodies outside perceived Xu Ran’s idea as very bold. They couldn’t understand why such a thought would suddenly occur to him.

”This newcomer...” The young junior sister was also somewhat surprised. ”Does he know how deep the magma beneath him is?”

”Does he know if there’s anything else beneath this magma?”

”Once he enters rashly, he might encounter the fire dragon from earlier. And that would be on someone else’s home ground, no matter how strong, he can’t just do that, can he?”

The tone of the young junior sister was full of confusion towards Xu Ran’s decision. It was too dangerous, and a single misstep could lead to death and the dispersal of one’s path. Not to mention such proactive recklessness.

For a moment, the young junior sister looked at Xu Ran with even more disdain.

”He’s just an unlucky guy. Brains aren’t really his strength. Someone like this, no matter how much time you give him, will never catch up with the senior brother!”

The second senior brother, although not as extreme as the junior sister, also felt confused by Xu Ran’s decision.

”Even if the newcomer’s Great Success of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body could support him surviving in the magma for a short time, the energy of the Five Elements background is too vast for him to sustain for long!”

Forget about Xu Ran, even he, with a Black Flame Body, couldn’t survive for long in such intensely hot magma. If it was during his own trial, needless to say, he’d be reduced to ashes in an instant!

The second senior brother looked on, shaking his head and sighing, full of bewilderment.

The senior brother’s icy gaze turned towards the mirror at Xu Ran, observing his confident expression, and involuntarily shook his head.

”This new guy is overly confident. Even in the face of something impossible, he sees it as a task without any difficulty at all!”

Originally, the senior brother also thought Xu Ran’s decision was incredibly unbelievable.

But when he saw the confident expression on Xu Ran’s face, he was somewhat moved, filling him with confidence.

”Hoo!” The senior brother exhaled a long breath. ”Let me see just why you have such confidence!!”

...

Above the magma.

The Fire Attribute Puppet glared at Xu Ran, a disdainful smile on its lips, having obviously heard Xu Ran’s earlier words.

The contemptuous smile on its face further illustrated how far-fetched his idea was.

This magma was formed by the background behind it. If one were to find a flaw within the magma, it would be impossible unless the energy of the background behind it was completely depleted.

But... is that possible?

The answer is definitely no!

From ancient times until now, the background of the Five Elements has existed for so long.

In such a prolonged era, apart from the senior brother, no other trialist has reached this stage. The accumulated energy within the intangible background is unfathomable.

Unless the secret to passing this stage of the trial is found, passing is impossible.

As for Xu Ran’s claim of wanting to enter the magma, let him enter it then!!

Suspended above the magma, Xu Ran naturally noticed the puppet’s disdainful expression, but it did not affect him in the slightest. The Spiritual Qi within his body continuously converged towards his arms, while simultaneously dodging the fire dragon’s attacks from below the magma.

Within a short timeframe, the fire dragon lurking in the magma had appeared dozens of times. Each appearance lasted less than a breath, with lightning-fast speed, like a red lightning bolt, fleeting by, visible only as a streak of fiery-red light passing through the sky.

The movement traces of the fire dragon bore bridges arching over the magma, resembling a fiery-red rainbow.

Even despite this, Xu Ran did not halt his actions.

During the time he dodged the fire dragon, the Spiritual Qi within his body had gathered onto his arms.

If he intended to enter the magma, then he had to possess enough Spiritual Qi to accomplish it.

However, what he meant by entering the magma was not charging in with his physical body, but rather...

Words would be futile.

”Let me show you the true Great Success of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body!”

When Xu Ran’s arms had swollen several times over, without any hesitation, he let out a loud roar. A blast of air erupted above the magma, and endless Spiritual Qi burst forth from his body, stirring the air above the magma, forming a massive white vortex.

Swiftly, Xu Ran, suspended over the magma, smashed his arms down towards the magma.

”Boom!”

The violent power, accompanied by the swirling air wave, instantly swept into the magma, producing a deafening sound, directly splitting the magma open into a ten-zhang diameter vacuum zone.

In this vacuum zone, there was no magma present, only the surging Spiritual Qi erupting from Xu Ran’s body, ravaging within. It formed an invisible wind wall around, blocking the surrounding magma from falling back, leaving Xu Ran alone seated within.
