This scene completely stunned everyone, leaving their minds blank.
Is this still controlling fire?
Even the Fire God couldn't achieve such a level, right? My God, I’m not dreaming, am I? Many alchemists watched as a small bird formed from flames fluttered by, their eyes nearly popping out.
Qin Chen maintained the multitude of firebirds, coldly looking at Jin Shengjie, the mockery in his eyes quite evident. Jin Shengjie was already drenched in cold sweat; gritting his teeth, he suddenly urged his mental energy. With a rustling sound, the fiery leaves shook, and many firebirds flew out from the branches. However, these birds were extremely blurry; not to mention forming feathers and eyes like Qin Chen, they could only maintain a bird shape and nothing more.
He desperately tried to make these firebirds clearer, but ended up losing focus—what became clear here was blurry there, and some firebirds instantly turned into swirling flames, losing even their shapes.
Jin Shengjie was suddenly anxious.
How could he not achieve what a mere youth could?
After several attempts, he could only shake his head in despair, his face pale and iron-colored.
Dozens of little birds played around back and forth, bringing him unprecedented pressure. He could barely maintain dozens of flames that darted like birds, but achieving clarity was simply impossible.
Wow!
At this moment, the crowd had already erupted in astonishment.
“Vice Pavilion Master Jin can’t do it at all.”
“The gap is too large, even though they are both firebirds.”
“How on earth did Qin Chen do this?”
“To simultaneously manifest so many things, just how skilled is his fire control?”
The discussions among the crowd made Jin Shengjie wish he could find a hole to hide in.
“It seems Vice Pavilion Master Jin is starting to struggle, but it’s not over yet; everyone, open your eyes!” Qin Chen said, coldly smiling at Jin Shengjie, “If you can do what I’m about to manifest next, I’ll concede right here!”
My God, it’s not over yet?
The crowd was dumbfounded.
The elders under Vice Pavilion Master Jin were nearly fainting, all thinking, “It’s over, it’s completely over!”
Jin Shengjie was also in shock; maintaining several firebirds had already pushed him to his limits. He was losing focus; this was supposed to be his proud skill, the Blue Sea Listening to the Tide, but now in front of Qin Chen’s display, it paled in comparison.
In that moment, all his pride and confidence completely crumbled, and he muttered numbly, “It’s not over yet…”
Qin Chen took a deep breath, his face instantly turning pale, “Since it’s a hundred birds returning to the forest, how can it do without a bird king?!”
A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes. He had already secured his victory in this contest because no matter how strong Jin Shengjie was, he couldn’t possibly compare to him in fire control.
“Undying Fire Phoenix, condense!”
He shouted, and the long cry of a fire phoenix seemed to resonate from the endless void, shocking everyone in the square, who looked around in horror.
A gigantic fire phoenix phantom flew out from the flames, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, exuding a terrifying aura that could burn everything. It danced above the flaming tree, while the surrounding dozens of firebirds swirled around the gigantic fire phoenix, forming a breathtaking scene of a hundred birds returning to the forest.
This fire phoenix was vivid and lifelike, the terrifying aura it radiated was like a true blood beast, making it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.
“Still lacking a bit; it seems my cultivation is too low. In my past life, I could truly form a fire phoenix with just a gesture, soaring through the nine heavens!” Qin Chen shook his head slightly; in his previous life, with a flick of his finger, he could create a hundred birds facing the phoenix, a scene a hundred times more spectacular than now.
In this life, he was still somewhat lacking in cultivation.
He sighed softly, waved his right hand, and all the flames disappeared, cooling the entire square instantly.
