What I sense from the Water Navy Xuanwu’s body should be the burns on his soul, the flas he endured in the past from his failed assassination of Xuanming. He definitely has treated it countless tis, yet the flas of Xuanming still cling to his wound, unextinguishable.
And what I deeply fear is precisely that rumored skill he used in the past when he tried to assassinate Xuanming, capable of injuring even Impermanence.
Could it be that his ability to harm Xuanming is also due to attribute suppression? I think that possibility is quite unlikely. Not to ntion whether Xuanming’s flas would be suppressed as powerfully as mine by his, based on my past encounters with Ming Zhuo, even Impermanence’s power isn’t sothing he could counter just with attribute suppression.
Assuming Ming Zhuo is "Fire Attribute" like myself, if Water Navy Xuanwu attacked Ming Zhuo with the power he’s currently showing, or even if Water Navy Xuanwu’s current power was several tis stronger, the outco would still be the sa as my previous attacks on Ming Zhuo—incapable of inflicting any serious harm.
Fancy relationships of suppression, or those seemingly profound and special abilities, none of these an anything to Impermanence. Water Navy Xuanwu must have a truly powerful move, one that enters the realm of Impermanence, to be able to injure him.
I attempted to control the remaining Xuanming Fire within his soul.
If I can control it, that ans I could launch an attack directly from his inside. This would be enough to turn the tide and establish my victory in a short ti.
But soon, I gave up, not because I felt this thod detracted from the dignity of combat.
Admittedly, I too have pride, and achieving victory with the "external help" of Xuanming’s feels sowhat unjust. But I am not so "haughty warrior", nor am I so fickle as to abandon a winning strategy found on the battlefield.
Just like I feel that my too powerful superpowers might harm the experience of my adventures, and even feel pleased when unexpectedly restricted, I definitely wouldn’t refrain from using my superpowers deliberately when they are still usable, nor would I simulate situations of restrictions when I have nothing better to do. What I pursue is the experience of breaking through difficulties and desperate situations, using whatever ans necessary. So even if I feel it’s distasteful, I would not neglect an available tactic at hand.
I gave up this thod because I can’t control Xuanming Fire.
This is another "first"—for the first ti since I acquired my superpower, I’ve encountered a situation where I can’t control a fla. Xuanming Fire seems to exist in a different dinsion, and no matter how hard I concentrate, I can’t interfere. It’s quite likely that the fla is at a level higher than where I’m currently at.
It’s only natural, if I could so freely control Xuanming Fire, wouldn’t that an that when Xuanming acts against in the future, I could also manipulate his flas?
Of course, that fla is currently unclaid, and the conditions to control it are probably much looser than when Xuanming is present. But even so, I’m still not qualified to act upon that fla right now. It’s as if the fla is demonstrating a kind of untad attitude, hinting that even without Xuanming present, it’s not sothing I can master.
However... it’s a bit odd. There’s leftover fla even within Water Navy Xuanwu’s wound, and it’s said that even Ming Zhuo’s body and mind are scorched by Xuanming Fire, whereas for Mazao’s soul burns, I’ve only ever sensed the wounds, never able to detect remaining flas.
Could it be because the properties of Xuanming’s fla have changed between the periods of being Impermanence and Great Demon? Or is it because Mazao’s Power of Return is more exquisite than Water Navy Xuanwu’s Water Magic Power, or even capable of doing what Ming Zhuo couldn’t?
Or perhaps... the Catastrophe Demon who burnt Mazao was not Xuanming at all?
After shifting my attention away from Xuanming Fire, I unleashed my flas once more. This ti I massively expanded my Fire Sea, covering the waist of Moon Concealing Mountain. Since the Water Master’s diffused Water Magic Power causes delay in my Fla Transmission, I will turn the battlefield itself into a Fire Sea and place myself in it, establishing a "wired connection" with the Fire Sea. This way, I can freely change my location within the Fire Sea.
At the sa ti, I can also increase new flas by burning the natural environnt of Moon Concealing Mountain and in turn absorb these flas to restore my Mana. Water Navy Xuanwu was right, even I can’t resurrect indefinitely. But as long as there’s a continuous injection of external flas, I can secure a number of resurrections beyond my own count.
However, at present, I still can’t handle Water Navy Xuanwu and can’t break through the defensive periter ford by his black water flows. Whether it’s offensive power or defensive power, I’m being overwheld by him. I must quickly find a way to reverse the situation; otherwise, he’ll realize the rapid growth I’m achieving in battle.
I have no good way to deal with the ultimate move he may pull out later, only trying to dodge as best as I can. I know his ultimate move won’t be so easy to avoid, or rather, he’ll definitely choose a ti to strike when I can’t dodge, but I don’t have a better counterasure.
