Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You guys keep having fun."

Qin Qi looked at Zhi Jinhua, who was trembling with fear, and then he spoke.

"Oh, right, my great-grandfather said he wants to see you. Just keep walking along this road and you'll see him."

As Lu Linglong held the hibiscus's hand, preparing to leave, she suddenly remembered this matter and spoke to Qin Qi.

"Okay, I got it. This way is correct, right?"

Qin Qi followed the road pointed out by Lu Linglong to find Lu Jin. After walking for a while, he saw Lu Jin talking to someone outside a small pavilion.

Lu Jin also saw Qin Qi walking over. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the person in front of him, he turned around and walked over.

He approached Qin Qi, scrutinized him closely, and then burst into laughter.

"Not bad, he looks quite dashing, a bit as handsome as I was back in the day, and his aura is also quite impressive, exuding a sharp and charismatic presence."

"Grandpa, why did you have the maid call me over?"

"It's nothing. I just heard from Linglong that you came down the mountain to participate as well. I haven't seen you in a long time, so I asked you to come and say hello."

"Grandpa, don't call me over next time if there's nothing wrong. Just come find me yourself. Honestly."

Qin Qi thought Lu Jin had asked Lu Linglong to call him over for something, but it turned out it was just to say hello.

“I wanted to go too, but I just couldn’t get away. As you can see, all these people came to greet me.”

Lu Jin pointed to the people sitting in the pavilion: "Lu Ci from the Lu family, Wang Ai from the Wang family, and Feng Zhenghao from the Tianxia Society, who has been making waves recently."

"I don't like these kinds of polite social interactions, but sometimes you have to be polite to these people."

"Sigh, when I've finished dealing with all the things that need to be settled, I'll be like your master, living a carefree and leisurely life every day."

Lu Jin still has a great grudge against the Sanyi Sect to avenge, so he cannot stop to rest. He must personally kill Wugensheng and Li Muxuan!

"Alright, I'll be going if there's nothing else."

Qin Qi chatted with Lu Jin for a few minutes, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he went to wander around elsewhere.

His match today is over, and the second round is estimated to start the next day, so he can only relax today.

..............................................................................

The next day, in the morning.

The qualifying spots were announced yesterday, with a total of 32 people. The next step is a one-on-one elimination tournament, which will begin with a draw to determine the groups.

After the grouping was completed, Longhushan created a group competition ranking list, which the next participants could use to determine their next opponents.

"Yes, here I am, my opponent is the Little Fire God of the Fire Virtue Sect."

Qin Qi didn't know who Little Fire God was, but he did know about the methods of the Fire Virtue Sect. Fire control was a very simple ability, but the people of the Fire Virtue Sect had studied it very thoroughly.

Looking around in the crowd, he finally fixed his gaze on a boy with red hair and slightly dark skin.

"It's so easy to recognize them. The fiery aura they exude is enough to tell they're from the Fire Virtue Sect."

Qin Qi shook his head. Even though he didn't know who Little Fire God was, he could tell who it was just by looking at that fiery aura.

Add to that his distinctive red hair, and anyone who isn't blind would probably recognize him.

After waiting a short while, it was his turn to fight Little Fire God, and the two entered the arena.

“Master Quanzhen, I know your physical body is strong, but my flames are not to be trifled with either. If you can’t withstand it, just say so.”

"Otherwise, it would be bad if the burns were too severe."

Flames burst forth from the little fire god's hands, and the air around the flames began to distort due to the intense heat.

"Although I could knock you down directly, I'll let you see something fun."

Qin Qi raised his hand, and a ball of water floated in the air in his palm. He flicked his hand and threw the ball of water away. The ball of water moved slowly and did not seem to pose any threat.

"My flames can't be extinguished by water; watch me vaporize him!"

The little fire god confidently condensed the flames in his hand into a fireball and threw it out, but the moment the fireball touched the water ball, his expression changed.

"My flames have vanished!"

The little fire god watched in astonishment as his flames were gradually tinged with the blue of the water and then disappeared.

His flames did not evaporate the water as he had expected, but they were not extinguished by the water either.

Instead, it was directly...eaten! Yes, "eaten" is a more accurate description of the scene just now!

"Take a closer look, this isn't a water clump."

Qin Qi spoke.

After listening to Qin Qi's words, Little Vulcan stared intently at the water sphere, trying to discern something from it. At this moment, he had forgotten that they were still engaged in a martial arts competition.

He was now only thinking about figuring out what had just happened and why his flames had disappeared.

The little fire god stared intently at the water ball, while the people in the audience were also studying it.

However, no one could figure out what had happened for a long time. After some time, Vulcan increased its power and used jet flames.

When the orange flame touched the water, it was immediately dyed a light blue, and not just the part that touched it.

Even the parts that weren't in contact were being eroded, leaving Vulcan with no choice but to disconnect.

"What the hell is this thing?! Why can it not only devour my flames, but also flip over and attack me along with them?!"

No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary ball of water with no attack power. Why is it that my attacks are completely ineffective?

"Hmm! No, this isn't water, it's fire!"

At this moment, Zhuge Qing, who was watching the battle from the stands, suddenly widened his eyes. He finally realized the problem: this was not a water ball at all, but flames!

——————————————————————————————————————

Today I saw someone in the comments section talking about becoming a monk. I explained this in Chapter 28. The protagonist is just a lay disciple, also known as a lay Buddhist. Although this is also a form of spiritual practice, it does not affect his ability to get married.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Little Fire God: "We're doomed, we've been tricked!"

"What the hell did you say? This thing is fire?!"

"I'm from the Fire Virtue Sect, and my nickname is Little Fire God. How could I not know if this thing is fire?"

Upon hearing this, Little Vulcan immediately looked at Zhuge Qing and spoke.

"He's right, this thing is fire, but it's just water and fire formed by the combination of the upper trigram Kan and the lower trigram Li."

Qin Qi saw that someone recognized the flame, so he reached out and summoned it back. The water ball in his hand changed with his will and finally turned into a blue dragon.

"Thanks to your flames, this little guy has grown even bigger. Now, let me show you his true strength."

Qin Qi waved his hand, and the blue dragon roared as it charged toward the little fire god.

"Since it's fire, I absolutely won't lose! Watch me burn this thing!"

Upon hearing that it was fire, the little fire god's fighting spirit intensified, and he concentrated all his firepower before unleashing it.

"Roar!"

The water-fire dragon also spewed out a blue stream of water and fire.

When the two flames collided, they did not cancel each other out; instead, the water and fire used the little fire god's flames as fuel to burn even more fiercely.

"Water and fire are different from other flames. Their fuel is not firewood or anything else. Their fuel is only one thing: fire."

"The higher the temperature of the flame, the better the fuel for him."

Qin Qi watched as the water-fire dragon grew larger and larger until it completely surrounded the little fire god and devoured him in one gulp.

After absorbing all the firepower from its opponent, the Water-Fire Dragon grew even larger and let out a satisfied burp.

It then slowly flew back into Qin Qi's hand and was absorbed by him again.

"The battle is over."

Qin Qi looked at the unharmed little fire god and said.

"I haven't fallen yet, I can still fight, I..."

The little fire god raised his hand and found that he could no longer unleash flames; all his firepower had been consumed by the water and fire dragon.

Little Vulcan realized he was no longer able to fight Qin Qi. He slumped to the ground, watching Qin Qi's receding figure.

"What exactly are those water and fire things?!"

The little fire god shouted.

"Want to learn? I can teach you. Come with me."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Ok!"

The little fire god's eyes widened in disbelief, but he still quickly chased after him. He really wanted to learn about water and fire!

..........................................................................................

"Then, are you really willing to teach me about water and fire?"

When Little Vulcan and Qin Qi came outside, he still couldn't quite believe that the other party had agreed to him so easily.

"Yes, but I have a condition: you must show me all the martial arts manuals of the Huode Sect."

Qin Qi smiled. Of course, he wouldn't give it away for nothing. He was very interested in the various fire-based techniques passed down by the Fire Virtue Sect.

"Hey! No way, Master said we can't just tell anyone!"

"Don't be so rigid. This isn't ancient times anymore. Fewer and fewer people are learning this craft. Maybe one day no one will learn it anymore."

"The more people you teach, the more secure you are. Besides, I'm not taking your money for nothing. Let's make an exchange."

"But…………"

"Okay then, I don't need your martial arts manual, I just need you to demonstrate it for me once. If there's anything you don't know, just explain it to me."

Seeing that the other person was interested, Qin Qi's smile became even brighter. He didn't need any martial arts manuals at all.

He can learn it directly by simply seeing it once and hearing a general description from the other person.

Whether or not he has a secret manual is irrelevant to him.

"Okay, I'll demonstrate once. You can learn as much as you can."

After thinking it over, the little fire god finally agreed. A flame that could use fire as fuel was something he really cared about.

For fire enthusiasts, a new kind of flame has an immense allure!

"No problem, let's get started."

Qin Qi nodded, and the two found a secluded spot where Little Vulcan began to demonstrate the various skills he knew.

Qin Qi watched intently as the little fire god demonstrated each skill, and he learned it one by one. That's right, talent is that terrifying!

You can learn it in just one viewing!

"These are the techniques I know. There's another fire jutsu inside the gate, but I don't know it. I'll tell you from my master."

"After learning the Fire Release technique, as long as a spark is left behind, one can escape to the other's side in an instant, no matter how far apart they are."

Little Vulcan is also a straightforward person. He said he would demonstrate for Qin Qi, and he meant it. He said he would teach the whole class, and he didn't hide anything from anyone.

But this is also related to the methods used within their sect. Flame is the foundation; without knowing how to use flame, all these techniques are wasted and cannot be used at all.

"Hmm, Fire Release, I understand. As I promised you before, take it and study it yourself."

Qin Qi nodded, tossed a ball of water and fire to the little fire god, and then left to study escape techniques.

However, it's not Fire Escape Technique, but the Five Elements Escape Technique! The Five Elements Great Escape Technique can go anywhere in the world!

"Hey, be careful, what if it goes out?"

The little fire god hurriedly reached out and caught the water and fire that Qin Qi threw at him. The moment he got his hands on it, he suddenly remembered that this thing was fire!

But when you touch it, you'll find it's not hot at all; instead, it feels like water, cool and refreshing, and has a very pleasant feel.

"This thing is amazing! It looks and feels just like water, but it can still devour flames."

The little fire god had regained some of his power. He lit a spark on his finger and then fed it to the water and fire.

The water and fire immediately grew a little bigger after consuming the spark.
