Divine Seal: Fire Kirin Fly Template, shattering the Demon God Pillar!

Chapter 82 Genius is merely the threshold to meeting me!
"I?"

Lin Xin's wicked smile froze instantly. He pointed to his own nose, his face full of disbelief.

He looked at Sima Xian, who had a bald head and a burly build like a bear, with an expectant expression, and then looked at his own slender magician frame.

This scene just doesn't feel right.

Sima Xian didn't care about anything else. With a "smack," his large, fan-like hand slapped Lin Xin on the shoulder, almost knocking him into the ground.

"Brother Lin Xin, the regimental commander has spoken, so let's have a good chat and get to know each other!"

His voice was loud and clear, and his face was beaming with a warm smile, as if the person who couldn't learn it just now wasn't him.

Lin Xin was on the verge of tears.

Exchange feelings?

I'm afraid that if you're not careful, you might shatter my spiritual energy shield along with me!

……

For the rest of the day, the members of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Team began their special training, a training that was both painful and pleasurable, near the cave entrance.

The shrieking sound became the best sparring partner.

The spiritual energy shield was repeatedly impacted, and their control over spiritual energy was repeatedly honed.

These people truly deserve to be called geniuses who have emerged from the various holy temples.

A day has passed, and everyone has made significant progress.

Even Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan, who had the worst results, reduced their spiritual energy consumption by 20% to 30% when resisting Li Xiao.

This means that they have already developed the basic ability to protect themselves as they venture deeper into the cave.

Chen Ying'er, this seemingly delicate summoner girl, has an astonishing talent for manipulating spiritual power.

Her energy expenditure decreased by nearly 40%, and her little face was full of pride.

The one who made the most progress was the magician Lin Xin.

He already possessed a meticulous grasp of elements and spiritual power.

After a day of hard training, the energy he expended to withstand Li Xiao's roar was reduced by nearly 50%!
This is almost a qualitative leap!

"Alas, how lonely it is to be invincible."

Lin Xin tossed his bangs aside with a flamboyant air, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and exuded an air of mastery.

"You mortals will never understand the world of geniuses."

He glanced at Sima Xian, who was still struggling, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Chen Ying'er couldn't stand it anymore. She pouted and walked over to Li Hao, tugging at his sleeve.

"Commander, you need to teach him a lesson!"

"Look at him, his tail's practically wagging in the air!"

The little girl said indignantly.

Everyone else cast curious glances at them, and Sima Xian shouted even louder.

"That's right, Commander! Show us what you've got!"

"Let us see just how amazing this technique you've figured out really is!"

Everyone was in high spirits, their eyes filled with anticipation and admiration.

They themselves only learned the basics, yet they have already benefited greatly.

So, to what extent can Li Hao, as the founder, achieve this?
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Li Hao smiled and did not refuse.

"Then you'd better watch carefully."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a new wave of fierce howls roared in from the depths of the cave!

That sharp, piercing sound seemed to tear one's soul apart.

Everyone's expressions tightened, and they were about to gather spiritual energy shields as before.

Li Hao, however, made the first move.

He simply raised his hand, and a layer of pale golden light instantly spread out.

It immediately formed a huge hemispherical shield, enveloping everyone inside.

"Om-"

A terrifying howl crashed against the protective barrier.

However, the anticipated earth-shattering collision did not occur.

There was no violent explosion, no blinding light, not even a ripple.

That fierce roar was enough to rapidly deplete everyone's spiritual energy.

The moment they came into contact with Li Hao's spiritual energy shield, they were like ice and snow thrown into a raging fire, melting away silently.

Inside the protective shield, all was calm and peaceful, as if it were a separate world from the outside.

The piercing screams that had previously assaulted their minds were now barely audible, and the group could even converse easily with one another.

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Xin's mouth dropped open, his eyes wide like saucers, staring intently at the rock-solid, unwavering protective barrier.

"Regiment...leader..."

He stammered, his voice trembling.

"You, you're amazing!" The next second, he rushed in front of Li Hao, his eyes filled with fanaticism as if he had seen a god.

"Transfer schools, Captain! Please come to our Magic Temple!"

"I'll persuade my grandfather to convene the Temple Elders' Council and directly appoint you as the next Temple Master! No! I'll make you the Temple Master right now!"

He was so excited that he was incoherent, and he almost knelt down before Li Hao on the spot.

This isn't just a skill, it's a divine technique!

Chen Ying'er covered her mouth and chuckled, then spoke softly.

"Is it easy for the leader to become the temple master?"

She imitated the adults and began to analyze things with great seriousness.

"Palace Master Qiu is his master. As long as he opens his mouth, Palace Master Qiu will probably put him on the throne of Palace Master on the spot and say with a smile, 'It's a deal, you can't go back on your word.'"

The little girl paused, then added.

"Maybe, Palace Master Qiu has already secretly made the Palace Master's Holy Robe for the Commander, just waiting for the Commander to come to his senses one day."

……

Thousands of miles away, at the headquarters of the Warrior Temple.

Qiu Yonghao, who was handling official business, suddenly sneezed several times without warning.

"Ah! Ahh!"

He rubbed his nose, looking completely bewildered.

"Damn, who's talking about me?"

"Could it be that kid Li Hao? Heh, at least he has a conscience; he still remembers his master."

He muttered to himself, a relieved smile on his face.

"Oh right, I wonder how that new dress I asked Lao Ren to get is coming along? I need to go check on it..."

……

Fear and wailing echoed outside the cave.

Sima Xian touched his bald head and asked in a simple and honest manner.

"Captain, your shield is amazing! Is it a skill from the Warrior's Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao pondered for a moment.

This protective shield was created by him, based on the Fire Cloud Technique and incorporating his understanding of the spiritual power of the two elements, light and fire.

Strictly speaking, it does not belong to any known combat technique of the Warrior's Temple.

"I guess it should be considered an original creation."

Li Hao said calmly.

"Let's call it 'Fire Cloud Shield' for now."

He glanced at the still-shocked expressions on everyone's faces and a slight smile played on his lips.

"Don't be surprised yet, just raise the shield yourselves. Now, I'll show you an advanced version."

Advanced version?
There's an advanced version too?!

The emotions that had just calmed down were instantly raised to the point of being in their throats again.

In their view, that perfect defense was already the pinnacle of the technique; how could there possibly be an advanced version?
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Li Hao had a sudden thought.

The enormous "fire cloud shield" that enveloped everyone began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank from a huge hemisphere into a thin, pale golden membrane, clinging tightly to his body.

The flowing light made his figure appear even more upright.

At that moment, a new wave of fierce howls swept in.

Li Hao, however, seemed completely unaware; he even moved his hands and feet a little.

He casually took a couple of steps in place, his posture relaxed and carefree, as if he were strolling in his own backyard.

That terrifying howl seemed to him to be a gentle breeze.

At that moment, everyone was completely speechless.

They finally understood just how vast the gap was between themselves and Li Hao.

That's no longer a difference in skill, but a crushing defeat in terms of level of understanding.

They are still complacent about reducing consumption by 20-30%.

Li Hao, however, had completely disregarded this potentially deadly threat.

The pride and smugness on Lin Xin's face had vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was heartfelt and utter admiration.

He looked at the figure strolling leisurely amidst the fierce howling, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Comparing geniuses to this man?

He was simply humiliating himself.

Li Hao turned around, met the shocked gazes of the crowd, and spoke calmly. His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Genius is merely the threshold to my understanding!"
