Lex within the blink of an eye activated his Spacial Eye then jolted his body out of the way of the orbs that Ella launched towards him.
It was the attack she used most and was very fast, powerful and effective, and was also useful in most situations.
"Too slow," said Lex with a cheeky smile as Ella continued to launch attacks at Lex, which he dodged with the Body Jolt Skill and his great speed.
"Is this truly the extent of your power, maybe I can make you my girlfriend now" stated Lex, remembering their deal where if he was stronger than her and beat her in a battle, she would become his girlfriend.
"Heh, don't get cocky" advised Ella as she suddenly appeared behind Lex and launched a swift kick aiming at his head.
Sensing the disturbance in space and with his fast reflexes, Lex was able to hold up his left arm to block the strike as he slid backwards from the impact.
Lex was shocked by her body's power and he couldn't tell whether she was cultivating internally, externally or both.
But what he did know was that she was extremely powerful and she didn't even seem to be trying against him, as he engaged Ella in close combat using all of his power.
If Angela or anybody else on the continent, that they were on, was to watch Lex and Ella's battle, they wouldn't be able to see what was going on or track their movements.
Lex was using the full power of his cultivation, that had surpassed halfway through the Golden Mortal Rank, while Ella displayed the power of a cultivation level that was identical to that of Lex's.
It was unknown what her cultivation level was, but no matter how much Lex increased the power he was using by, she would do the same thing and match his power level.
Lex didn't want to use the Third Eye or the Soul Fusion, because it could cause him major backlash and it wasn't a serious battle, so could only rely on himself and his own abilities as he continued to parry her physical attacks and attempt to strike back.
"Since when were you such a good fighter?" asked Lex as he launched a powerful right hook to her head, which she blocked, followed up with a left uppercut to her stomach.
"He, there is so much that you don't know about me" scoffed Ella who could tell that Lex had underestimated her and launched a powerful blow to his chest that launched him crashing into the ground.
They had reached a power level where every move they would make, would leave a deep imprint in the ground and they were so fast that they would leave afterimages to those that watched their battle.
"Don't underestimate me because I am a pretty girl" stated Ella as she smirked at Lex who was getting up from the ground.
"Don't underestimate me either" replied Lex as he stood up and dusted himself.
He was enjoying his battle against Ella and he felt it was a good way to see her for who she really was and find out more about her and her abilities through combat.
"Why don't you use those abilities against me, the ones that allowed you to defeat the ascendant demonic cultivator," said Ella, wanting to fight against Lex's full power.
"I can't do that, but what I can do is test out my new ability against you" replied Lex, who didn't want to unleash his full power that relied on the Eye Demon.
Lex had found the perfect opportunity to test out his newly gained ability.
[It seems the plan has changed and I will test out the Fire Manipulation Eye before I go to see the Earth Leader and the rest of the leaders of the continent] thought Lex to himself as he activated his newly acquired Eye Power.
Fire Manipulation Eye
Lex after cultivating the Elemental Ascension Method had an Elemental Body that was compatible with all elements and would be able to wield them comfortably as he had a perfect affinity with all of them.
Despite his perfect affinity with all elements, it would only be able to be used when he had gained the Eye Power that matched every element, and once his body was strong enough to handle all that power.
However until then, Lex had to make do with what he was capable of and with the Fire Manipulation Eye, he would be able to unleash large amounts of fire energy.
"Give me a few minutes before we continue the battle, there is something I need to do," said Lex as he sat down with his Fire Manipulation Eye activated and began to find out its different uses and feel the fire energy coursing through his body.
"Alright" accepted Ella as she sat in front of him, waiting for him to be ready for their fight.
With Lex's experience in wielding energy and using the Land Elemental Energy Transformation, it didn't take long for him to become accustomed to the Fire Manipulation Eye, that Ella allowed him to do.
Lex feeling the explosive Fire Energy around his body that had many unique properties and traits when compared to the other elements was listing many different ways he could use his power as he prepared himself to battle against Ella.
He knew it wasn't a serious battle and she would most likely defeat him, but he still wanted to use all the power that he was capable of wielding without using his Third Eye or the Eye Demon, and was also a good chance to practise the use of his full power.
"I'm ready" announced Lex after 10 minutes of contemplating silently about his new ability.
"It is about time, what took you so long?" asked Ella as she stood up and prepared to resume her battle with Lex.
