Chapter 38 God War
After learning many key points of god-level cultivation from King Leo I, Lin Tian felt an even greater urgency to test his own strength. After careful consideration, he decided to challenge Harry to a duel. Harry, as a lower-level god, and according to Potter, having comprehended the "Scorching Profound Mystery" and the "Profound Mystery of the Fire Element," was stronger than Lin Tian, making him an excellent test subject. However, Lin Tian had little contact with Harry, so he went to find Potter instead.
Lin Tian arrived at Potter's residence. Potter was discussing something with Laun and was quite surprised to see Lin Tian. He then asked, "Lin Tian, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
"I want to spar with Great-Grandpa Harry to test my skills, but I don't know where he lives. I want Grandpa to take me to find him," Lin Tian said truthfully.
"Sure, Father cares about you a lot. He told me before that if there's anything you don't understand, I can take you to him. I'll take you to him tomorrow morning," Potter said with a hearty laugh.
Afterwards, Lin Tian had a discussion about the profound mysteries of the laws with Potter and Laun. Although Lin Tian had only come into contact with and comprehended the mysteries of the fire element, he had already become a god. In addition, with his previous understanding of the original Panlong novel and the influence of modern knowledge, his insights on Potter and Laun's situation from a high-level perspective were very helpful to them. The two of them couldn't help but sigh with gratitude.
The following morning, Potter brought Lin Tian to Harry's residence at Vulcan Mountain. They gently knocked on the door, and after a short while, the door slowly opened, revealing Harry's tall figure. Seeing Potter and Lin Tian, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by a gentle smile: "Potter, Lin Tian, what brings you here?"
Potter and Lin Tian bowed respectfully and said, "Father, I brought Lin Tian here today because Lin Tian wants to spar with you and test the results of his training during this period."
Harry raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest in his eyes, and said to Lin Tian, "Oh? You've only recently become a lower god, yet you already have such thoughts. Your courage is commendable. However, sparring inevitably carries the risk of injury. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Lin Tian nodded firmly: "Great-Grandpa, I am ready. Only in actual combat can I truly know my shortcomings. I hope you will not hesitate to give me your guidance."
Seeing this, Harry laughed loudly: "Fine! Since you're so determined, then I'll spar with you. But let me make this clear beforehand, I won't hold back."
Harry led the two to an open area in a valley near Huoshenshan. The ground there was flat and hard, clearly a place often used for sparring.
Harry said, "This place was specially built by the Ancestor for god-level sparring and testing of ultimate techniques. The surrounding area was reinforced by Senior Walter at the Ancestor's special request. Here, you don't need to hold back and can go all out."
Lin Tian nodded in agreement. Potter felt as if the air around him was ignited by the aura emanating from the two of them, causing it to distort slightly before quickly moving away.
Harry spoke first: "Lin Tian, you go first. Let me see how well you've grasped the mysteries of the fire element."
Lin Tian didn't refuse. He took a deep breath, and his divine power circulated rapidly within his body. He unleashed the profound mysteries of the fire element, and his body instantly burst into flames. The flames possessed a strange golden hue, a result of his deep understanding of the essence of fire. Under his control, the flames swirled around him like agile sprites, forming golden rings of fire.
"Ha!" Lin Tian shouted, pushing his hands forward. One of the fire rings transformed into a golden fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards Harry. The fire dragon was incredibly lifelike; every fiery scale on its body seemed to contain immense power, and the air sizzled wherever it passed.
Harry watched the approaching fire dragon, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Not bad, your control over the fire element is becoming increasingly refined." As he spoke, he calmly raised his right hand, and a ball of dark red flame ignited in his palm. This flame, though seemingly small, radiated an astonishingly high temperature, precisely the "Scorching Profound Mystery" he had comprehended.
Harry waved his hand lightly, and dark red flames instantly met the golden fire dragon. The moment they made contact, the golden fire dragon seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, its speed suddenly slowing down. Immediately afterwards, the dark red flames surged onto the fire dragon's body like a tide, rapidly eroding it. The golden fire dragon struggled, letting out roars, but under the intense heat of "Scorching Profound Mystery," it gradually turned into nothingness.
Lin Tian frowned slightly. He knew Harry was strong, but he hadn't expected his attack to be neutralized so easily. However, he wasn't discouraged; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit.
"Again!" Lin Tian rapidly formed hand seals, chanting incantations. With his movements, the surrounding fire elements surged wildly, converging towards him. In the blink of an eye, a massive golden fire shield appeared before Lin Tian. This fire shield was no ordinary defensive device; Lin Tian had infused it with his unique understanding of the profound mysteries of the fire element. Mysterious runes flowed across the shield's surface, constantly flashing as if engaging in some mysterious communication with the surrounding fire elements.
Harry's eyes flashed with seriousness upon seeing this. He knew that Lin Tian's seemingly simple fire shield actually contained many profound variations. He no longer underestimated it, and with a wave of his hands, the "scorching profound" flames around him grew even stronger, enveloping his entire body as if it were a manifestation of the sun.
Harry roared and charged towards Lin Tian like lightning. The moment he got close to the fire shield, he slammed out his right fist, the dark red flames on his fist expanding several times in size, crashing into the fire shield with a devastating force.
With a deafening roar, the fire shield collided with Harry's fist, unleashing a burst of intense light and a shockwave. The surrounding ground was ripped apart by the powerful force, sending debris flying. Lin Tian, behind the fire shield, felt the immense impact, his feet involuntarily carving two deep furrows into the ground.
However, Lin Tian's fire shield did not shatter as easily as Harry had imagined. After withstanding Harry's attack, the runes on the surface of the fire shield shone brightly, and a powerful recoil force erupted from the fire shield, forcing Harry to take several steps back.
"Good lad, you've got some skill!" Harry steadied himself, his admiration growing stronger. He hadn't expected Lin Tian to withstand his attack and even use the fire shield's properties to counterattack.
Taking advantage of Harry's retreat, Lin Tian swiftly launched a counterattack. In a flash, he transformed into a fire elemental being, becoming a golden streak of flame that shot towards Harry. During his flight, Lin Tian constantly shifted his form, sometimes becoming a flaming longsword, sometimes a flaming giant axe, making his attack direction unpredictable.
