In the Chat Group, the arena battle continued.
Asakura Hao wasn't too bothered by being kicked away by Uchiha Madara's shadow.
It was a battle, and getting a few injuries was normal; besides, it was Fire Spirit who was injured, not him.
As the flames repaired, the slightly gruesome wound on Fire Spirit's chest quickly healed.
"Uchiha Madara, you are very good."
From Fire Spirit's shoulder, Asakura Hao looked down and gave Uchiha Madara a nod of approval.
"Hmph, how arrogant!"
Uchiha Madara was angered, and seeing Asakura Hao in front of him, Uchiha Madara was reminded of his former self.
However, with his broadened horizons, he no longer viewed others from such a perspective.
Uchiha Madara manipulated the two shadows he created, slowly moving towards Asakura Hao.
"A sneak attack can only work once. Do you think I wouldn't guard against the same trick?"
Seeing Uchiha Madara's shadows quietly approaching.
Fire Spirit waved its long arms, stirring up a raging storm.
A hundred-meter-tall flame tornado struck the two Limbo: Border Jail that were trying to sneak attack.
However, the giant tornado stirred up by Fire Spirit, at that moment, passed directly through Uchiha Madara's shadows.
"What?"
Asakura Hao was surprised by this.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara's shadows simultaneously jumped, accelerating towards the Fire Spirit.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they appeared in front and behind, surrounding the Fire Spirit.
"Pincer attack? You underestimate me too much."
Fire Spirit's enormous palm condensed a fireball.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The fireballs crackled, then released a dense volley of flaming arrows.
Streaks of flaming arrows landed on Limbo: Border Jail.
The two Limbo: Border Jail shadows, which hadn't had time to attack, were burned to ashes by the flames in a few seconds.
The flames in Fire Spirit's hand disappeared.
Asakura Hao glanced at Uchiha Madara in the distance.
"Is this the confidence you have, administrator? Mere shadows that switch between reality and illusion; I can understand how to deal with them after seeing them once."
"Too insignificant."
Hearing Asakura Hao's taunt, Uchiha Madara wasn't angry; he patted the dust off his shoulder.
Limbo: Border Jail disappeared; he had already obtained the data he wanted.
Uchiha Madara let out a soft laugh.
Hashirama, I will soon surpass you. Perhaps even without the Ten-Tails, I can reach Six Paths Level.
No, with the Chat Group, I am confident I will definitely reach Six Paths Level.
Seeing Uchiha Madara actually show a disdainful smile, Asakura Hao's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Fire Spirit and Asakura Hao's bodies once again decomposed.
Just like before, Uchiha Madara felt a killing intent coming from behind him.
"Is this a law?"
No, not yet.
The previous battle between Lumine and Osial, and now seeing Asakura Hao.
Rather than a law, it's more like a technique that can subtly steal or exploit laws.
"A Great Onmyoji who has lived for a thousand years is indeed not simple."
Before fighting Asakura Hao, Uchiha Madara used the Chat Group's authority to check Asakura Hao's information.
Although he didn't get much, Uchiha Madara still decided to entice the other party to challenge him.
"Being attacked without fighting back is not my style."
Blue Chakra erupted from his entire body.
A giant shadow was cast on the ground, with fiery red arms and ferocious claws, suddenly reaching out to grab Uchiha Madara.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
Suddenly, a blue arm grabbed Fire Spirit's arm.
"Hmm?"
Asakura Hao was slightly startled.
What is this thing?
At this moment, Uchiha Madara was enveloped by solidified blue Chakra; the skeletal hand of Susanoo grabbed the Fire Spirit that was stabbing towards him.
"Eyes, huh..."
The frequency of the power released by those ringed eyes seemed to have some connection with this skeletal energy body.
"Hmph, interesting."
Asakura Hao manipulated Fire Spirit, and Fire Spirit raised its right foot, kicking towards Uchiha Madara and Susanoo.
To use his own methods against him.
Two streams of energy clashed.
Fire Spirit and the blue Susanoo both trembled slightly.
Terrifying energy, centered on them, spread to an area of several kilometers around.
The originally solid ground also became a mess of shattered rocks in this collision.
"Susanoo, it can't hold on much longer," Uchiha Madara frowned.
Fire Spirit's kick caused Susanoo's ribs to crack again.
If he hadn't detected the anomaly and increased his mental power and chakra output, Fire Spirit's kick just now might have directly shattered Susanoo.
"The power of nature is indeed terrifying."
No, rather than the power of nature, it should be said that the Fire Spirit in front of him possessed unparalleled strength itself.
"If only I had the Nine-Tails."
Uchiha Madara thought of the Tailed Beast that Hashirama considered too powerful and needed to be sealed.
"It seems this strange skeleton isn't much to speak of," Asakura Hao's slightly contemptuous voice came from a distance.
At the same time, Fire Spirit raised its other ungrabbed arm, fiercely reaching towards Uchiha Madara, who was protected by Susanoo.
Fire Spirit's five long fingers glowed menacingly.
It was one of its skills, "Flame Spear."
The claws, imbued with strong natural power, seemed capable of tearing everything apart.
Asakura Hao was confident that with this move, he could easily shatter Susanoo, which was roughly the same size as the Fire Spirit, and even injure Uchiha Madara inside.
Bang—
Susanoo only managed to withstand the flames wrapped around Fire Spirit's claws for a few seconds before rapidly bursting apart.
With the shattering of Susanoo, Uchiha Madara's defense completely collapsed.
"Uchiha Madara, right? Thank you for entertaining me. I'll take your soul."
Uchiha Madara slowly raised his right hand.
He didn't dodge at all.
"Rinnegan Absorption."
Before it even touched Uchiha Madara, Fire Spirit, still half a meter away from Uchiha Madara, was blocked by an invisible wall of light.
Especially the left hand that was stabbing towards Uchiha Madara; the flames on its fingers were disappearing at a visible rate.
"What's going on?"
Asakura Hao was somewhat surprised for a moment.
Fire Spirit's shamanic power was rapidly disappearing.
"The eyes... those eyes."
So that's it; those eyes possessed the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
"Indeed, not easy to deal with."
Asakura Hao used his Skill in battle for the first time.
He placed two fingers in the center of his vision, then drew a few strokes in the air.
"Five Elements Conversion, Solidified Gold."
Asakura Hao finished speaking, and the Fire Spirit at his feet underwent a phase change.
Its original fire attribute was covered by gold.
The free-floating energy on its body also rapidly condensed, becoming indestructible.
"What!"
Uchiha Madara's expression changed at the sight.
He could no longer absorb the Fire Spirit's energy.
This feeling was like when he fought Senju Hashirama, and he used Fire Release to burn Senju Hashirama's Wood Release, but the Wood Release's powerful vitality extinguished the Fire Release's flames.
And at this moment, Uchiha Madara also noticed the Fire Spirit after it turned golden.
Its attack intensity had significantly increased.
Uchiha Madara stopped absorbing the Fire Spirit, releasing a burst of repulsive force from his palm.
"Shinra Tensei."
Uchiha Madara used Shinra Tensei, wanting to repel the Fire Spirit and Asakura Hao.
Bang—
Shinra Tensei's powerful repulsive force struck the Fire Spirit, but it was like hitting thick heavy metal.
It only slightly hindered the opponent's movements.
Fire Spirit blocked the repulsive force rising towards Asakura Hao with one hand, while the other hand remained in a stabbing position, attacking Uchiha Madara.
"No, even Shinra Tensei..."
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Uchiha Madara's forehead.
Aside from the battle with the Group Leader, this was the second time Shinra Tensei had been blocked.
"Forget it."
I've made some progress in Sage Mode training; there's no need to be overly demanding.
Uchiha Madara suddenly lowered his right hand.
The repulsive force rising with Uchiha Madara as the center also disappeared in an instant.
"Oh, are you giving up?"
Seeing Uchiha Madara's actions, a hint of confusion actually appeared on Asakura Hao's face.
Even without mind-reading, it was clear that Uchiha Madara still had combat power.
The recent battle showed that Uchiha Madara was a very proud person.
Would such a person give up so easily?
Just as Asakura Hao was about to have the Fire Spirit take Uchiha Madara's soul.
A voice came, instantly sending shivers down Asakura Hao's spine.
"Constantly retreating to learn certain abilities is not the behavior I, Uchiha Madara, should have."
"Now begin the real battle. I will use my Perfect Susanoo."
A terrifying energy surged from the ground.
An incredibly powerful pressure instantly bore down on Asakura Hao.
