Time passed swiftly like a galloping; several days had gone by in the blink of an eye.
For the last three days, a graceful figure, veiled in purple, and with a blood-red mark on her glabella, had been quietly bathing in the depths of a Spirit Pond.
At this moment, her eyelids trembled slightly.
*Boom…*
Accompanied by the flickering of her eyes, clusters of flames burned around the Spirit Pond.
The next moment, these flames, like living entities, began to swirl around the pond.
Before long, they formed a terrifying firestorm that reached tens of meters in height.
In the center of the firestorm, a tall figure gradually disappeared as if merging into the flames. Only a humanoid silhouette could be seen in the firestorm from time to time, like a reminder of something.
“Not bad…” Whispering his admiration, Qing Gang, sitting on a treetop in the distance, took a sip of wine. Then, he advised, “Elementalization is our biggest life-saving trump card, as well as our strongest move. If we can use it flexibly and skillfully, our combat power will increase significantly.”
“Indeed.” Amid the melodious laughter akin to twinkling of silver bells, the flames that filled the sky converged, forming a tall silhouette in the blink of an eye.
*Tap, tap, tap…* Gently stepping on the pond’s surface, Aisha slowly walked toward the figure not far away.
“It’s rare for you to come here. Is something the matter?” Asking softly, Aisha looked at Qing Gang, her eyes shimmering.
[This guy ‘invited’ me to Misty Mountains. I wonder if I can fight him now?]
At this moment, as if sensing the belligerent spirit rising in Aisha, the corner of Qing Gang’s lips curled into a smile as he nonchalantly stated, “If you want to fight me, let’s do it another day. Master is preparing to leave today, and we’re going to send him off together.”
With that, Qing Gang’s figure gradually solidified…
After a while, much to Aisha’s surprise, Qing Gang turned into a genuine sculpture, before being blown away by a gust of wind, scattering in all directions.
“Second Stage of Elementalization!?” murmuring, Aisha suppressed the astonishment in her heart.
The Second Stage of Elementalization was the rank of Elementalization mastery. Unlike other abilities, Elementalization was their most fundamental ability, and mastering it was a rather complex process.
The Second Stage of Elementalization signified more terrifying control, with greater finesse.
For instance, Qing Gang at the Second Stage of Elementalization could not only merge with the earth but could also transform into flying sand and dust. Furthermore, his consumption of Spiritual Energy was reduced, and his utilization was more versatile.
If she could reach the Second Stage of Elementalization, she could not only merge with her own flames, but she could even assimilate with enemy flames or ordinary flames.
This was the terrifying power of Elementalization, the fundamental ability of all Elemental Lifeforms.
In a certain sense, Elementalization could be considered an ‘unbeatable’ ability.
If abilities were graded, Elementalization could definitely rank in the top ten among all Unique Abilities…
“I really shouldn’t have underestimated him…” murmuring in her heart, Aisha fell into silence for a moment.
This kind of formless pretense was the most fatal, and Aisha could do nothing about it.
After all, Qing Gang, who had already reached the Second Stage of Elementalization, was much stronger than before.
While it was not a world of difference, it was definitely something she could not currently handle. After all, as an Elemental Lifeform, they could understand each other’s terrifying aspects better than anyone else.
…
Meanwhile, at the peak of the Himalayan Mountains…
*Howl…* A gentle breeze blew over, bringing in flying sand which slowly converged into a silhouette.
“Master.” With a smile, Qing Gang looked at the Divine Tree bathing in ice and fire not far away with eyes filled with respect.
“En.” After nodding in return, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze shifted to the side of Qing Gang.
The next moment, a wisp of flame lit up before turning into a blazing fire.
Then, a tall figure slowly walked out from within these flames.
“Aisha…” calling softy, Yu Zi Yu looked at the nearby approaching girl, a glimmer flashing in his eyes.
“Master, what can I do for you?” nodding gently, Aisha respectfully asked.
“I will be leaving Misty Mountains soon, you should also prepare to return to the Alliance.”
“Yes, Master.” Aisha readily agreed, showing no refusal; she had long known her mission.
Just like the mysterious Eldest Sister, she was heading to the Human world. She did not need to do anything else, she just had to destroy the peace between the ASEAN nations and China.
And as for what to say, Aisha was already prepared.
‘There’s a hidden force within China that doesn’t want to see an alliance between China and ASEAN. So, on the day of the summit, they ambushed and exterminated two delegations. And to cover up the truth, the Chinese government even fabricated traces of a Beast Tide.’
With this, the Chinese government would not be able to deny it no matter how.
She did not need to frame China too much either, just a suitable excuse to make the Alliance take action.
As for how and when the Alliance would take action, Aisha had no idea either.
But this incident would definitely create a rift between ASEAN and China and once a rift was created, their future actions would naturally become predictable.
Besides, there were no friends among nations, only eternal interests.
Now, Aisha had provided the Alliance with a good excuse to seek their own interests. Given the nature of the Alliance, they would not let it pass.

At this moment, after arranging Aisha, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze turned to a nearby robust figure that resembled a mythological Fiend with the body of a human and the head of a bull.
The mere sight of it would send a chill down one’s spine.
Especially with the massive ax hanging on its robust back, the entire figure gave off an indescribable aura of malevolence.
It was none other than Old Second, Bull Demon in his Humanoid Form.
As for his giant ax, the handle was gifted by Yu Zi Yu, and the ax blade was found in the weapons arsenal of Maple Leaf City.
Then, Qing Gang reinforced it.
Although it was assembled in a simple manner, this giant ax was quite terrifying.
It was said that just in terms of weight, it weighed several tons. The wind pressure it generated when it was swung was simply astonishing.
Not to mention, there was also Bull Demon’s Spiritual Energy, as well as the Gravity Field.
It could be said that with this giant ax, Bull Demon’s combat power would increase by 30-40%.
From this, it was easy to imagine the importance of weapons for a strong individual.
It was no wonder that Bull Demon, who has always been simple and quiet, would actively seek a weapon.
This was not just a weapon, it was a lifeline!
