Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Crimson Flame (Blue)
The collapse of the Yuan Shan Group happened faster than anyone imagined.
As the saying goes, "When the wall falls, everyone pushes."
Ordinarily, Yuan Shan Group was arrogant and tyrannical, suppressing its peers and allowing no one to challenge its status and authority. But when it fell into crisis, those it had harmed were united in delivering a heavy blow.
Cutting off the supply of medicinal herbs,
Poaching middle management,
Forcing banks to withdraw loans,
Sending people to sabotage the planting bases,
The Yuan Shan Group was driven to distraction and chaos internally, with even some employees receiving death threats, coercing them to stop working for the company.
As the founder and chairman of the Yuan Shan Group, Leng Yuanshan’s hair turned half-white within just one week. His face became haggard and emaciated, as if he had aged twenty years.
And his friends, relatives, and even former confidants around him all chose this moment to leave him.
In the end, Leng Yuanshan fell into complete despair and directly announced the bankruptcy of the group, entering the stage of bankruptcy liquidation. Thus, the renowned industry leader in medicinal herbs officially met its end.
At this time, a company named Lingfeng Trading Company forcefully rose, acquiring more than thirty percent of Yuan Shan Group’s employees and half of its assets, including Yuan Shan Group’s headquarters building, making a sensational name in the industry.
People in the know understood that Lingfeng Company’s first fund came from selling a batch of goods stolen from Yuan Shan Group. However, nobody would despise Lingfeng Company for this; instead, they would feel incredibly wary.
Even a giant like Yuan Shan Group was brought down by them, so who would dare provoke them lightly?
Furthermore, Lingfeng Company has its unique moat.
The exclusive agency rights for 7 types of Spirit Fruit and 10 types of Spiritual Medicine from the Elf Star.
Everyone knows that with these exclusive agency rights, Lingfeng Company is equivalent to holding a renewable gold mine. Coupled with acquiring part of Yuan Shan Group’s assets and customers, aiming for the top of the industry is just a matter of time for this company.
Of course, some people harbored greed and tried various methods to gather intelligence on Lingfeng Company or infiltrate it. However, anyone who attempted this without exception faced various accidents, such as poisoning, illness, or flying device malfunction.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see this was Lingfeng Company’s silent warning—not to meddle, or it wouldn’t be just a simple accident.
From then on, Lingfeng Company firmly established its footing on the Silver Gray Star, taking the first step on the path to becoming a corporate giant worth billions or even trillions.
......
The yellow sand filled the sky.
A tall silhouette stood like a solitary peak atop a sand dune, with his fluttering robes fiercely clashing against the howling gales.
Hundreds of fire salamanders, as large as war horses, came charging wildly from the depths of the sand sea, crimson vertical pupils flickering with greedy murderous intent, as the fireballs they spewed from their mouths resembled falling meteors, scorching the air into distorted shapes, hurtling toward that silhouette.
"Ssshhh"
The earth suddenly trembled, and dark green vines burst forth from the ground, their surfaces bristling with sharp barbs. They twisted and intertwined like living creatures, forming a thick vine wall in the blink of an eye, protecting the silhouette within.
The vines’ surfaces glistened with blue and purple micro-lights, with lines lighting up like countless opened little mouths. When the fireballs crashed into the vine surface, they were instantly absorbed by the lines without stirring the slightest ripple.
The figure within the wall slowly raised his right hand, his distinct bony fingertips tracing through the air, trailing a string of golden runes.
At the moment he clenched his fist, his clear voice shot straight to the sky: "Celestial Thunder Fall!"
Before the words finished, the clear sky was instantly swallowed by dark clouds.
Deep within the cloud layers, purple light surged violently as if an ancient fierce beast had awakened.
With a tremendous roar, the clouds were ripped open, revealing countless cracks as hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as bowls streaked like silver dragons from the abyss, accompanied by deafening thunder and blinding electrical light, accurately striking each fire salamander.
The raging lightning exploded among the salamander horde, with the crackling sounds of electrical currents intertwining with the salamanders’ shrill wails.
The fire salamanders twisted their massive bodies, their scales splitting under the lightning’s scorching heat, flesh torn instantly apart, as charred black smoke rose.
In just a few short breaths, the once fierce horde of fire salamanders turned into smoking charred remains, collapsing onto the scorching sand.
Hundreds of blue and green light spheres flew into the body, leaving only a single deep blue light sphere.
[Name] Crimson Flame (Blue)
[Type] Active Talent
[Introduction] This is a strange flame evolved from the depths of the desert, using scorching sand grains as a guide to temper the fire with a unique dual nature. It can fuse free earth elements with flames in the air, freely shaping them into various flame forms. The surface of the condensed Crimson Flame is covered with flowing sand patterns, which, when slicing, inflict a "Scorching Sand Rend" effect, wherein high-temperature sand grains penetrate the wound, continuously burning and hindering healing; simultaneously, Flame Resistance is increased by 20%.
"Crimson Flame, Blue Talent, not bad."
Qin Tian nodded contentedly, though he was more pleased with the power of Celestial Thunder Fall. A Bronze Level magic paired with his immense Spiritual Power far exceeding that of mages of the same level, along with the electric enhancement from [Purple Sky Thunder Body], could not be survived by an ordinary Tier Four Spirit Beast in one blow.
Powerful and wide-ranging, its only drawback is that it requires casting time.
If the enemy catches the gap during the casting, getting close, then the mage is in danger.
Therefore, mages will surely master some instant-cast spells, while high-level spells are often used when restraining the enemy or from a safe position.
However, Qin Tian doesn’t plan to learn those simple basic spells. His position is always as a Spirit Warrior; close combat is his forte, with magic only serving as a tactical supplement. When facing a throng of weak opponents, spiritual ability magic comes into play.
Of course, even without relying on magic, he has many talents that can inflict mass damage, such as Poison Gas Domain, Super Energy Flame Burst, Eye of Fear, Sandstorm Control, and the newly acquired Crimson Flame.
However, talents have their limits, while Spiritual Energy is limitless.
The ceiling of spiritual ability magic lies beyond the reach of these talents.
In this world, Spiritual Energy is always king.
"Training ends today, time to head back."
Qin Tian glanced at the time, ready to leave, but just then, a video call suddenly came through.
Seeing the name, his eyebrows slightly rose.
"Hello, Mr. Dongfang."
"Hello there, Qin Tian, hope I’m not disturbing you."
On the video, Dongfang Yunhai glanced at the environment behind Qin Tian and smiled lightly.
"No, I’m just training in the desert."
Qin Tian replied with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, Dongfang Yunhai finally stated the purpose of his call.
"Qin Tian, do you have any interest in participating in the Azure Wood Star Realm Genius Battle?"
Hearing this, Qin Tian was momentarily stunned; wasn’t the selection for the Genius Battle already over, with the participant list online, and even professional agencies having given a rating from One Star to Five Stars?
Could it be that Dongfang Yunhai wants him to squeeze in?
"Mr. Dongfang, I remember that the list for the Genius Battle has already been finalized, right?"
"That’s right."
Dongfang Yunhai smiled, "So I’m here to invite you to be an examiner."
An examiner?
Instantly, a peculiar expression appeared in Qin Tian’s eyes.
