Top-Tier Superpower Student

As soon as Wang Ying finished speaking, another loud boom came from the volcano.

"Big brother, look, the volcano has erupted on a small scale again," Wang Ying said, pointing at the volcano.

The eruption imminent, Lin Tian dared not delay, shouting, "Quick, get in the car, Shaoxiong rest, I'll drive."

Soon, Lin Tian drove the chariot to the edge of the wilderness, his eyes fixed intently on the volcano.

By now, the volcano had erupted in multiple places, the entire mountain trembling violently, the final eruption drawing ever closer.

Wang Ying and Fang Shaoxiong, unable to use fire control techniques, were susceptible to harm from the magma. Lin Tian directed them to stand aside.

Now, various powers stood at the forest's edge, all staring at the whole volcano. Lin Tian roughly estimated there were about a dozen factions present, the strongest possessing the ability of "condensing mirrors."

As for these people, it would be wise to stay cautious!

Another half an hour passed, and the entire volcano belched rolling thick smoke, streaks of flame shooting skyward, raising the surrounding temperature by three or four degrees in an instant.

"Boom..."

The earth-shattering noise was accompanied by flames, smoke, and lava all erupting simultaneously.

The smoke billowed into the sky where a huge mushroom cloud quickly formed, blocking out the sun and casting darkness over the land.

Countless flame stones erupted from the volcano, everyone's eyes widening as they searched for the one and only Red Flame Stone amidst them all.

Lin Tian activated his clairvoyance ability; his vision was five times that of an ordinary person, allowing him to spot the Red Flame Stone the moment it appeared.

As time slowly passed, the volcano's eruptions grew more intense. At last, a crimson stone the size of a fist burst out from the volcano.

It was the Red Flame Stone!

The Red Flame Stone, the size of a fist, was entirely red, with a strangely intense hue that was even redder than deep red, so piercing it hurt the eyes.

Hidden within rolling smoke and amidst countless other flame stones, the Red Flame Stone emitted only faint rays of red light, indecipherable to the naked eye, but visible to Lin Tian with his clairvoyance.

There were quite a few factions vying for the Red Flame Stone this time, and many of them had masters. To snatch the Red Flame Stone, one must be quick!

"Charge!"

With a roar from Lin Tian, he kept his eyes on the Red Flame Stone and dashed forward.

"Look, that guy is charging ahead!"

"He must have spotted the Red Flame Stone."

"Quick, follow him!"

..., ...

Lin Tian, leading the way, immediately became the target. The remaining forces quickly mobilized, following close behind him.

He swiftly reached a kilometer away from the volcano, the heat growing more intense, like an oven, the smoke getting thicker—by far more than five times the smog of Capital City.

Soaked through with sweat, he struggled to keep his eyes open, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Soon, he reached the area of flowing magma. Lin Tian urged on his Fire Control Technique, wrapping his feet in flames and smoothly striding across the magma as if on flat ground.

Others also reached the magma, but not all had fire-related abilities. Desperate for the Red Flame Stone, they charged heedlessly in, unable to withstand the lava's intense heat. Accompanied by chilling screams, they were devoured by the fiery liquid, soon to become part of the stone.

Approaching ever closer to the volcano, one group had also spotted the Red Flame Stone.

There were five of them, led by two half-step Condensing Mirror brothers.

The younger one shouted, "Big brother, you go for the Red Flame Stone, I'll handle the guy in front."

His big brother nodded, then accelerated once more, charging towards Lin Tian like a madman.

As Lin Tian ran, he activated his Heavenly Punishment superpower and struck the younger brother of the two fiercely.

Both brothers possessed superpowers; the younger one spewed out a fireball from his mouth, clashing fiercely with Lin Tian's Thunder Whip.

Without a doubt, the domineering might of the Thunder Whip easily shattered the fireball spat out by the younger brother, who then spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to stand, and sat down on the ground with a thud.

The ground was rolling with lava, and without the augmentation of his superpower, he didn't need Lin Tian to make another move; the lava swallowed him.

"Little brother!"

The big brother watched his little brother getting swallowed by the lava. They were blood brothers, and he couldn't care less about the Red Flame Stone anymore; he turned around to attack Lin Tian.

Lin Tian also respected the brotherhood between them, but showed no mercy to his enemies, and his Thunder Whip struck again, killing the big brother.

Because of the two brothers' interference, Lin Tian's speed was reduced, and two groups had already reached the Red Flame Stone ahead of him, rushing towards it.

The Red Flame Stone was right in front of their eyes, each group sent one person to seize the Red Flame Stone while the others engaged in a bloody fight.

Lin Tian accelerated, activating his Neural Response Speed Ability and combined it with the Flight Technique, charging diagonally toward the Red Flame Stone.

"Hahaha..., I've got the Red Flame Stone!"

One man grabbed the Red Flame Stone first, shouting with joy, but his smile abruptly ceased as a Thunder Whip fiercely struck his back.

Lin Tian whizzed past him like a helicopter, and in the moment of the man's deathly collapse, snatched the Red Flame Stone from his hand.

Whoever seized the Red Flame Stone became the enemy of all; the two groups that were fiercely battling it out halted their fight upon seeing Lin Tian gain possession of the stone, sheathed their weapons, and like long-time friends, united to attack Lin Tian.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!

Lin Tian, paying them no mind, continued to run in circles and then headed back.

With the Red Flame Stone in hand, he ran first, then flew, and when he couldn't fly, ran again; his speed was swift, leaving the various forces far behind.

As he was running into the woods and about to meet up with Wang Ying and the others, a Condensing Mirror expert suddenly burst out and aimed a lethal punch at Lin Tian.

He had concealed himself well or rather, he had not gone in to snatch the Red Flame Stone but had waited here, ambushing with a stealthy strike.

Exhausted from the relentless running, Lin Tian was caught off guard by the Condensing Mirror expert's sneak attack. They exchanged punches, but Lin Tian was no match and was sent flying more than a dozen meters, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Hand over the Red Flame Stone, and I'll spare your life," the Condensing Mirror expert bellowed with fury.

Lin Tian climbed up from the ground, dirty and disheveled, and began to run again.

"Seeking death."

The Condensing Mirror expert roared angrily, chasing after Lin Tian while activating his ice superpower. He formed an icicle and shot it towards Lin Tian.

Sensing a fatal threat, Lin Tian swiftly dodged. The icicle grazed his shoulder, leaving a ten-centimeter gash on Lin Tian's shoulder, with blood instantly staining his clothes.

Lin Tian screamed in agony, fell to the ground, and the Condensing Mirror expert swiftly caught up, scoffing, "Men die for wealth as birds die for food. I asked you to hand over the Red Flame Stone, and you refused; now, I'll just have to kill you and take it myself."

"Take this!"
