Ethan clenched his teeth, the energy in his body fluctuated violently, and his eyes were filled with a desperate determination. With a flash of his figure, he quickly rushed towards Ian with a berserk fire attribute energy.
Ian felt an unprecedented surge of power in his body at this moment, Luminary level energy filled every inch of his muscles and meridians, his perception ability was even stronger, he was even able to feel the subtle changes in Ethan's attack. He used all the Talent Reinforcement Points that he had accumulated during this period of time to strengthen his combat abilities, reinforcing the three abilities of Lightning, Cold Ice, and Gravity to Luminary Level, "It actually costs 20 points to raise a Luminary Level ability! How expensive!" After spitting out the system's expensive prices in his heart, he met the charging Ethan head-on.
"Boom!"
The energy of the two instantly collided with each other, the violent air waves swept around, and the trees were instantly destroyed into pieces.
The moment Ethan got close, a red fiery blade coalesced in his palm and swiftly chopped towards Ian.
Ian was calm and collected himself, quickly releasing the cold ice power he had just acquired, the temperature of the surrounding air plummeted, instantly forming a solid ice wall in front of his body. The fire blade chopped on top of the ice wall, only leaving a shallow trace.
Ethan was slightly stunned, not realizing that Ian actually had ice abilities. He quickly changed his tactics, bypassing the ice wall, fire attribute energy condensed under his feet, and his entire body was like a rocket as he attempted to attack from the side.
However, Ian's reaction was even sharper, turning on the Insect Senses Enhancement in a split second, every tiny movement in the surroundings could not escape his perception.
Ian raised his hand and waved, a cold ice storm instantly erupted from his hand, directly sweeping towards Ethan. Ethan barely dodged it, but the cold, piercing chill still slowed his movements a bit.
Sensing that the situation was unfavorable, Ethan's gaze was fierce, and the energy in his palm compressed dramatically, forming a crimson storm, then violently pushed forward, "Battle Technique - Flame Storm!"
The flame whirlwind was wrapped with powerful energy, the intense high temperature made the surrounding air distorted, and rushed towards Ian at high speed.
Ian did not hesitate to unleash Gravity Control again, instantly forming a powerful gravity field in front of his body, the storm was curbed from its onslaught, and then propped up a wall of ice to block the flames.
But Ethan didn't give up, he took advantage of the moment when Ian was fending off the storm, and circled around to Ian's back with great speed, gathering the strongest strike, and ruthlessly attacking Ian's back.
Just when Ethan thought he was about to get it, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Ian's mouth. Sensory enhancement was always on, Ethan's movement was already in his prediction, he had already set up a trap using his Hidden Shadow ability, and at this moment, he suddenly launched it, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place.
Ethan's attack fell short, and before he had time to react, Ian appeared behind him and slammed his back with a punch.
"Ah!" Ethan suffered a heavy blow, but Ethan, as the top Luminary-class powerhouse in the Storm Council, reacted extremely quickly, taking the opportunity to pull away, stabilize his body, and turn around to start a close-quarters fight with Ian.
The two men clashed fists and feet, fighting in the most primitive way, Ian had just reached the Luminary level, compared to Ethan, his speed and strength were slightly inferior, however, Ian managed to make up for the gap by relying on the diversity of his own abilities, and even gained the upper hand.
After a melee battle, both sides pulled away and stared at each other. "Looks like you still have some skills." Ian's tone carried faint contempt, "But do you think that's enough?"
Before the words fell, Ian stretched his hands forward, the power of cold ice and the control of thunder power were launched at the same time, the cold air and thunder intertwined to form an extremely powerful combination attack, attacking swiftly towards Ethan.
Ethan tried his best to dodge, but the cold ice just restrained his fire ability, and the paralysis brought by the thunder and lightning also slowed down his movements, allowing a few ice picks to slice through his skin, blood splattered everywhere, and a roar of pain resounded through the forest.
"It's over." Ian said calmly, his feet stepped out gently, close to Ethan, suddenly in the formation of a powerful gravity field, Ethan's entire body was suppressed to move.
"I ... won't lose to you just like that!" Ethan roared angrily, trying his best to push the fire attribute energy in his body in an attempt to break free from the gravity field.
However, Ian's strength had already fully suppressed him, only to see Ian slowly raise his right hand, gathering a ball of icy cold air in the center of his palm and releasing it instantly.
As the cold air swept through, Ethan was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, his face frozen in a look of horror and unwillingness.
Ian slowly approached, looked at Ethan's frozen face, and said coldly, "You've lost."
With that, he unleashed his final strike, "Battle Technique - Thunder Fist!" The fist condensed by the power of thunder shattered the cold ice, and of course, Ethan within the cold ice.
[Successful looting, gained ability: Flame Manipulation]
Ian lightly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the Luminary-class power that was gradually adapting within his body, he understood that through this fierce battle, he had truly solidified the power he had just acquired, and his strength had once again been significantly increased.
He turned around and looked towards Mia in the distance, a pleased smile on his face, "We won."
