Weakness attack!

Zhou Tian had already made this move to find the weak points on the lion’s body. However, at that time, the lion’s rule defense had almost no flaws, making it difficult for Zhou Tian to find any weaknesses.

Thus, although it seemed necessary to outwit the lion’s defenses, Zhou Tian could only exert himself from his side, looking for a vulnerability on the opponent was clearly not an easy task.

Given the situation at that time, Zhou Tian quickly took action.

To break through the lion’s metal defense, the natural course was to use an attack that restrained the opponent’s metallic ability. Since fire restrains metal, theoretically, in the absence of any weaknesses in the lion’s defense at that time, if Zhou Tian truly wanted to contend with the opponent, it would be better to consider how to directly break through the opponent’s defense with a fire-based attack.

Although Zhou Tian specialized in the Time Rule, if he needed to use a fire-based attack against his enemy, he still had a few methods to consider.

The Fire Element Rules, as one of the most common, offered numerous ways to produce such attacks in the current world. After all, no matter how strong rule powers were, they were fundamentally still a type of flame attack. If Zhou Tian produced some flame attacks, while not as powerful as Fire Element Rule attacks, in essence, his actions had no significant difference compared to Flame Rule attacks.

Hence, according to the circumstances at that time, even though Zhou Tian had not cultivated the Fire Element Rules, with his strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to launch flame attacks against his opponent.

For instance, Zhou Tian possessed a batch of Divine Weapons at that time, and aside from their considerable attack power, many of the weapon skills included fire-based attacks. While those fire-based attacks were far from as useful as his Time Ability for Zhou Tian, this did not mean they were utterly useless; rather, Zhou Tian’s Time Ability was just somewhat too powerful.

Now, when Zhou Tian decided to use his fire ability to attack his enemies, the weapon skills of the Divine Weapons he held could then fully exhibit their intended effects.

As a result, nothing happened while Zhou Tian took no action, but when Zhou Tian prepared to launch an attack against his enemy, that lion’s days naturally became much less easy than at the beginning.

With Zhou Tian’s strength well recognized, even without using his core power, the moment he channeled his energy entirely into those Divine Weapons, flames burst forth from the weapon he wielded. Under Zhou Tian’s control, the body of the lion, his opponent, became engulfed by those flames.

While the flames continued to burn, the lion’s days were not easy. It was believed that if nothing unexpected happened, under that continuous flame burning, even if the lion’s defense was strong, given the restraining effect of fire on metal, even if Zhou Tian’s actions could not immediately break through the defense, maintaining that continuous damage would eventually be enough for Zhou Tian to eliminate his opponent with his current tactics.

Faced with that situation, the lion obviously did not wish to be defeated by such methods.

If the opponent had been a practitioner of the Fire Element Rules, the lion would indeed have no good countermeasures. However, Zhou Tian was using an external force, and although the attack released by the Divine Weapon was strong, because its power came from weapon skills, in the short term, it indeed posed a threat to the lion. But because of the control aspect, Zhou Tian’s attacks at that time were not as threatening to the lion as they appeared.

At least, not using his own power meant Zhou Tian’s control over the flames was not very precise. Therefore, while the lion remained still, there were no issues, but when the lion reacted, maintaining the same attack intensity as before became problematic for Zhou Tian.

Moreover, the lion was a dual-system rule cultivator. While its cultivated Metal Rule seemed vulnerable to fire, the Sound System Rule it cultivated was not restrained by the Fire Element Rules. So, even if Zhou Tian had found a method to break through the opponent’s defense, practically speaking, doing so with his current tactics was not an easy task considering the lion’s abilities.

In fact, Zhou Tian’s tactics did have some effect initially, but as soon as the lion took action, the effects were quickly nullified by its abilities.

Firstly, motion made it difficult for Zhou Tian’s attacks to keep up with the lion once it started moving. Although Zhou Tian continued to attack relentlessly, in practice, his attacks mostly missed their mark, making his actions not much of a threat to the lion.
