After this fight, Ye Li suddenly understood the meaning of this trial.
The attack methods of this rune figure should all be basic spells, but in terms of application, it has reached the point of being completely arbitrary.
The figure cleverly placed the released Swamp Talisman on his moving trajectory under the cover of the Ground Spike Talisman. Then the originally wide range of the trap was compressed and became deeper.
The trap effect achieved in this way becomes even more outstanding, and once you step into it, it is difficult to pull out.
Moreover, during close observation, he discovered that the secret of the other party's Earth Thorn Talisman being able to easily pierce his Spirit Bell Talisman was actually the compression of spiritual energy.
This compression method was similar to his Extreme Flame Finger, except that the Earthly Figure relied on his own active control to compress the spiritual energy of the Earth Spike Talisman. The released stalagmites became much stronger, and the attack power was greatly increased.
Recalling that this rune secret land was a trial site for an ancient sect, he suddenly realized that the battle in this tower was obviously meant to make people understand the real way of fighting.
The higher the level of the talisman, the more powerful it is, but it depends on whether it is used just right and can be controlled with ease.
The following battle also made Ye Li fully understand this point. The earth figure used only basic talismans, but the threat he posed to Ye Li was even greater than the wood giant he had encountered before.
Ye Li's Flowing Flame Talisman was directly buried by the opponent's mud, and the Exploding Talisman was bounced into the air by the slope formed by the earth wall.
The most outrageous thing was the Extreme Flame Finger, which the opponent was able to defend against by simply releasing a ground thorn talisman.
The earthly figure used all of his spiritual energy to condense into a thick and long stalagmite, which he placed directly above the flame of the Extreme Flame Finger.
Although the Extreme Flame Finger was extremely powerful, the entire stalagmite was about five meters long. After the flames almost completely burned the stalagmite, they dissipated without any more power. After all, this was equivalent to blasting through an extremely condensed five-meter-thick stone wall.
Ye Li was dumbfounded, and finally fully realized the importance of combat skills. He also began to explore his own fighting methods during the battle.
He felt a large amount of spiritual power emanating from the earth figure. It was obvious that the other party was able to accurately place the tip of the stalagmite in front of his Extreme Flame Finger because of the perception of spiritual power.
Controlling the changes of the swamp runes and the condensation of stalagmites all rely on the power of consciousness, which Ye Li did not understand at all even though he had reached the late stage of the Spiritual Mist Stage. After learning the fighting method from the Earthly Figure, Ye Li also spread out his huge power of consciousness. In just a moment, his understanding of the battle situation completely changed.
The opponent's movements, the direction of attack, everything was under his control. Even the talisman hidden in his palm could not escape his spiritual observation.
In the following battle, Ye Li began to consciously use basic spells. He was not in a hurry to defeat his opponent, but treated his opponent as a qualified sparring partner.
His Flowing Flame Talisman began to change during the battle. It no longer rushed towards the opponent like a torrent of water or a tide, but instead turned into dozens of fire lines like a spider web.
These dozens of fire lines with very tortuous attack directions condensed a large area of flowing flames, enhancing the power of the flames, making the attack range extremely wide, and increasing the difficulty of the opponent's defense.
His explosive talisman no longer waits until it hits something to explode, but instead, under the control of his spiritual power, explodes wherever it is needed to injure the enemy.
The biggest change was in his Earth Fire Spring Talisman. After being affected by the opponent's Swamp Talisman, his Earth Fire Spring became elusive within the range of his spiritual power.
Not only does he capture the opponent's movement trajectory, sometimes he even buries the underground fire spring in the ground as a trap in advance, and only after luring the opponent to step into it will the fire column be triggered.
As for the use of the Extreme Flame Finger, Ye Li also grasped the essence of it, which is to use it at the moment when the opponent cannot dodge.
Ye Li relied on the harassment of the Earth Fire Talisman and the Explosive Talisman to successfully force the Earth Figure to his Earth Fire Spring.
The flames gushing out from the ground were blocked by the earth shield talisman sent down by the earth figure. However, the underground fire spring that was deliberately compressed and condensed by Ye Li was extremely powerful and instantly pushed the earth figure and the earth shield talisman into the air.
The earth figure in the air lost the space to dodge, and Ye Li immediately sent an explosive talisman over.
Facing the attack of the explosive talisman, the earth figure could only condense an earth shield talisman in front of him. However, what Ye Li was waiting for was the moment when the other party condensed the talisman.
Because before reaching the point where one can draw two talismans with both hands, anyone can only draw one talisman at a time, which means that the earth figure drawing the Earth Shield Talisman cannot draw other talismans at the same time.
At this moment, Ye Li's Extreme Flame Finger was activated.
When facing the earth figure, he had no chance to use the technique of condensing talismans and transforming into another shape. The opponent relied on releasing basic talismans quickly to attack continuously. Without powerful defensive talismans, Ye Li had no time to waste and could only launch a quick attack against the opponent.
After finally getting this brief opportunity to attack, Ye Li's Extreme Flame Finger instantly cut through space and shot onto the Earth Shield Talisman.
His previous explosive talisman was detonated the moment it touched the earth shield talisman, because he was afraid that the earth figure was using special techniques to deflect the explosive talisman. He wanted to make the most of the power of the talisman.
The explosive talisman blew up the earth shield talisman in the earth figure's hand at the moment of explosion. The power of the heavenly-level talisman is not so easy to resist.
In the next instant, the Extreme Flame Finger arrived, and the shattered Earth Shield Talisman completely lost any defensive power. Ye Li's Extreme Flame Finger was like a piercing arrow, penetrating the Earth Shield Talisman's defense without any hindrance and shooting straight into the chest of the figure who could not dodge.
The rune on the figure's chest exploded the moment it was attacked by the Extreme Flame Finger. The small runes on the figure's body also immediately exploded after losing the unifying force of the large rune.
The entire earth figure disintegrated directly in the air and dissipated again into a ball of earth spiritual energy, floating towards the spiritual energy barrier at the stairs.
When the earth-based spiritual energy transformed by the earth-based figure came into contact with the spiritual energy barrier at the stairs, it immediately merged into it. In an instant, the spiritual energy barrier completely disappeared into thin air, and the obstacle at the stairs was completely opened.
A smile appeared on Ye Li's face at this moment. After defeating this earthly figure, he had earned the qualification to continue climbing.
More importantly, he, who had a proficiency in talismans far exceeding that of others, obtained something truly useful from this earth-walking figure, and his skills in using talismans reached a new level.
