Chapter 603: 443, one sword two million, cold light nineteen layers

Members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team quickly assembled.

According to the plan, Lin Da and Anna were to withstand the first brutal onslaught of the “Tide of Flames.”

At that moment, the temperature in the hall had risen more than tenfold, as if they were in a furnace.

Lin Da’s forehead was crazily sweating, his lips cracked, his throat stung, and his health points were visibly dropping.

This was even after they had taken the fire-resistant potion beforehand. Without it, challenging the Flame Giant Spirit would have been certain death!

A fiery red wall approached Lin Da, the air burnt like fire, causing waves of dizziness to assail his brain.

Images before Lin Da’s eyes doubled and blurred. At the peak of this extreme heat, he even felt a trace of severe cold.

“Sss…”

Lin Da slowed his breathing while simultaneously biting hard on the tip of his tongue to keep himself alert.

Only one step away from success, he absolutely could not fall here!

“Anna!”

“Captain, I’m ready!”

Bat Anna nodded with a deep voice.

The two stepped forward together, roaring as they charged toward the sky-covering Tide of Flames!

…

In the viewing tower, there was utter silence.

The crowded hall was quiet as though no one was there.

A server carrying a tray with wheat beer stopped in their tracks.

Staring blankly, they lifted their head to watch the two figures on the hovering big screen.

With mere flesh and bone, battling against the sky-darkening Fire Wall.

It was as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot, like a moth plunging into fire.

Wave after wave of fire surged against the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, and the Verdant Shield cracked visibly at a rapid rate.

The towering figure in front, while using his body to block the waves of fire, chanted spells, unleashing new Verdant Shields and Group Healing Art.

No-one knew how high the temperature of the magma-formed waves was, but it became evident from Lin Da’s slowly melting Earth Dragon Longsword.

Even the Epic Weapon could not withstand the temperature of the magma.

Let alone the mere human body!

This was no longer about mere physical capabilities but required a devilish resilience.

In the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, there was more than one such person.

Bat Anna did not retreat an inch, her gray hairs completely burnt, her skin turned into blood liquid, and under the high temperature, it vaporized to form a layer of white steam made up of flesh and blood.

One could only imagine the excruciating pain.

Mere spectators, everyone tightened their buttocks and shivered just watching them.

These two were literally using their lives to block!

Wez, the sibling Sterry from another city, the spiky-haired strong man, and a blue-haired girl carrying a gun all wore shocked expressions on their faces.

They had thought that they, with the same Nine-star Rating, were only slightly behind Lin Da.

Seeing this scene, they profoundly understood.

Between them and him, there was a vast gulf.

No wonder the Young Wolf King had called Lin Da a “Ten Star.”

The strength Lin Da displayed was exceedingly remarkable.

And the Anna by his side was just as astonishing.

Lin Da, as the leader of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, was expected to have such fighting power; typically every adventure team leader is the strongest member, to command respect.

But Anna was just a member.

This bat girl, continuously resisted the attacks of the Flame Giant Spirit.

She also had considerable offensive capabilities.

Truly a combination of offense and defense.

Any enemy facing Anna would find it troublesome.

Practically meaning, there were nearly two “Almost Ten Stars” in the Phoenix Tail Flower Team…

Even though they didn’t obtain Coldmoon Duke’s contract to become true Ten Stars.

Yet, their strength was evident to all.

You see, during the hard times in Cangqing Province, not a single Ten Star would emerge in a year.

The Phoenix Tail Flower had six members, yet produced two.

Many adventure team leaders felt conflicted.

Envious of Lin Da’s ability to recognize talent.

If they had Lin Da’s talent spotting ability, they’d probably already be winners in life.

“Quite interesting.”

Volgan stared at the two on the screen, excitedly wagging his tail.

This Lin Da and Anna might become his rivals.

“If only their level weren’t so low, I’d really like to fight them right now.”

Volgan’s mouth under his mask slightly opened, letting out rugged breaths.

One of the ancestral teachings of the Frost Wolf Clan: battle can make an adventurer stronger!

Compared to Lin Da and Anna, a Frost Wolf named Lulu was a notch weaker.

Volgan glanced at Lulu who was hiding behind Lin Da, looking at him with an expression he couldn’t understand.

He shook his head, thinking to himself that that wasn’t a warrior at all.

Lulu’s appearance reminded Volgan of his childhood sweetheart.

Every time he participated in the Wolf King selection, she would show the same expression as Lulu, completely lacking the decisiveness and coldness of a warrior.

Later as expected, she was killed by a Demon Adventurer in the 20th level of the Great Mystery Continent.

Just by looking at Lulu, anger kindled in Volgan’s chest.

Losing the awareness of being a warrior meant being close to death.

“The Frost Wolf King can only be me!”

Volgan secretly thought; he would never give up that position to a mere woman, let alone a human!

…

19th level of the Mystic Realm.

The last wave of the Fire Wall surged forward.

This skill lasted for seven waves, with the first and last being the most ferocious!

Wall after wall of “Fire” tightened toward the center, the air had already been devoured, leaving a deadly accumulation of fire elements in the hall.

A fog drifted through Lin Da’s mind, his consciousness blurred.

Anna’s knees also trembled, ready to collapse at any moment.

But thinking of the teammates behind him, Lin Da’s heart surged with vigor as if sprinting a hundred meters.

With a strong will, his vision started to clear, finally seeing the Fire Wall that was only three meters away from him.
