I think Chapter 27 is very stingy.
I think Chapter 27 is very stingy.
"I can't control my fighting spirit anymore!"
Like a thunderclap, Yao Chen, who was somewhat confused, changed his expression drastically. In a flash, he appeared next to Xiao Yan, gathered his soul power in his palm, and struck Xiao Yan's Qi Sea without hesitation, attempting to help him stabilize his Dou Qi.
boom!
A violent flame erupted within Xiao Yan's body, and the scorching fire wave rushed towards Yao Chen and Huo Yuhao, who were standing close by, seemingly attempting to force them back, instantly forming a fire barrier.
Faced with the abnormally powerful beast fire, Huo Yuhao retreated rapidly, and an ice crystal barrier emanating a chilling aura instantly solidified in front of him to block the flames' attack.
However, this is ultimately just beast fire. Even after fusion, it is only the power of a sixth-order beast fire. It is impossible for it to stop Yao Chen, who was once a Dou Zun, even though he is now just a soul.
Yao Chen's soul broke through the beast fire's blockade without hindrance, placing his palm directly on Xiao Yan's body, attempting to suppress his out-of-control fighting spirit. He cursed incessantly, "This damned technique!"
However, at that very moment, as Yao Chen's soul power penetrated deep into Xiao Yan's body, his soul faltered, his form trembled violently, and became blurred. In that instant, the anxiety on Yao Chen's face was replaced by an unprecedented fear!
"The Bone Spirit Cold Flame has gone out of control?"
Yao Chen had lost track of how long he had been with the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. Regardless of their strength, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire had always been under his control, and even after becoming a soul, it had never lost control like this.
What suffocated Yao Chen even more was that the uncontrolled Bone Spirit Cold Flame not only meant that he might be completely destroyed, with no chance of resurrection, but also that he would be unable to save Xiao Yan. Furthermore, the rampaging Bone Spirit Cold Flame would immediately reveal its terrifying power as the eleventh ranked flame on the list of strange flames. Huo Yuhao and Little Fairy Doctor would have absolutely no chance of survival.
The deep-seated fear and helplessness froze even the usually calm Yao Chen in place.
However, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. To be precise, he was prepared for this situation where Yao Chen couldn't help! In an instant, Huo Yuhao entered a state of perfect harmony with nature, fully mobilizing his battle qi and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forcefully tearing a gap in the flames and breaking through the beast fire's blockade. He returned to Xiao Yan's side.
Xiao Yan didn't notice that the raging flames hadn't harmed him. He anxiously roared at Yao Chen and Huo Yuhao, "You two leave quickly, don't worry about me!" At that moment, a nonsensical thought even flashed through his mind: Sure enough, I'm not the protagonist. Maybe my purpose in being here is just to make Yuhao unleash his full power?
Ignoring Xiao Yan's roar, Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened, and he activated his Dou Qi at full power, connecting with heaven and earth. The cold air within a radius of more than ten miles seemed to receive a command and frantically gathered towards him.
The Ever-Frozen Realm!
【Snow Dance Under the Bright Sun】!
【snowstorm】!
With three domains overlapping, Huo Yuhao did not choose the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain, which is more inclined towards combat control. Instead, he used these three domains to raise his ice attribute quality to a level that was enough to contend with the strange fire.
Extreme cold descended, instantly suppressing the beast fire within Xiao Yan's body. At the same time, Huo Yuhao didn't forget to manipulate a stream of cold air to pour into Yao Chen, directly attacking the bone spirit cold fire within his soul.
The Bone Spirit Cold Flame is inherently a low-temperature flame, unafraid of the cold. However, when Huo Yuhao's chilling aura came into contact with the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, it did not clash head-on with it, but instead directly enveloped it, slowly seeping into the core of the strange flame.
In Yao Chen's perception, the temperature changes of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame slowed down, and its chaotic movements of absorbing energy also became sluggish. It became controllable.
A palm strike came, and Yao Chen was pushed out of the beast fire's blockade by Huo Yuhao.
While controlling the beast fire within Xiao Yan's body, Huo Yuhao temporarily alleviated Yao Chen's crisis. Regaining his composure, having resolved the danger posed by the flames, the only remaining problem was the unruly Burning Technique battle qi.
Huo Yuhao tried briefly to forcefully guide the Burning Technique's battle qi to change its path using his mental power, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea—completely unresponsive. Realizing he couldn't control it, Huo Yuhao seemed to give up and slowly closed his eyes.
"Never mind, let's..." Xiao Yan said with a wry smile, preparing to continue persuading them to leave, but his voice suddenly choked.
Under Xiao Yan's shocked gaze, two streams of crimson tears flowed down Huo Yuhao's tightly closed eyes. At the same time, a seven-colored halo flashed between Huo Yuhao's brows.
A sense of unreality filled Xiao Yan's heart; the world before him seemed to be distorted by something.
Yao Chen, who was struggling to control the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, also felt a moment of dizziness. When he came to his senses, he immediately looked at Huo Yuhao. Strangely enough, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame within him unexpectedly stopped its violent outburst and returned to its former control.
Enduring the excruciating pain of his spiritual sea being torn apart, Huo Yuhao extracted a wisp of divine thought and instantly pierced into Xiao Yan's spiritual sea, immediately seizing control of it. He then attempted to forcibly take over Xiao Yan's body and alter the operational path of the Burning Technique.
At that very moment—
With a whoosh, the beast fire on Xiao Yan's body was completely extinguished. A voice sounded from the depths, right beside Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan. It was a voice they had never heard before, yet it gave Huo Yuhao an indescribable sense of familiarity, almost uncontrollably making him recall his time on Douluo Continent.
"I meant no harm!" The weariness in her voice was so palpable that even Xiao Yan could sense it.
Huo Yuhao dispelled his memories, remaining unmoved. Seeing this, the voice sounded again, carrying a hint of earnestness.
"Believe me, I just want to stop you."
"I need your help!" The voice grew weaker and weaker, almost inaudible.
Seeing that words could not stop it, a wisp of thought connected with Huo Yuhao's consciousness, and some information and images were transmitted to him.
Finally, Huo Yuhao's divine sense stopped. Xiao Yan discovered that the runaway fighting spirit within his body had returned to his control.
"What happened?!" Yao Chen rushed forward in a flash, tightly grabbing Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan's hands. His anxious expression resembled that of a family member waiting outside the delivery room.
"It's alright now." Huo Yuhao wiped away the blood and tears on his face and opened his eyes again.
"Oh my god, that really scared me to death. But it's also a blessing in disguise. My Burning Technique level has been raised to the advanced Yellow Rank. And, it seems I've broken through to the Six-Star Dou Zhe level." Xiao Yan patted his chest and lay back.
"Ah! What's that rock!" A somewhat angular piece of gravel landed right on the back of Xiao Yan's head. Luckily, cultivating Dou Qi could also improve his physical attributes, otherwise he would have truly survived a close call but would have been finished off.
Xiao Yan grimaced as he got up, angrily kicking the rock far away.
Seeing Xiao Yan venting his anger, Huo Yuhao's lips curled up.
"Pretty stingy."
Yao Chen and Little Fairy Doctor: "???"
Seeing the puzzled looks on Yao Chen and Little Fairy Doctor's faces, Huo Yuhao said, "Xiao Yan's problem has been resolved; he shouldn't lose control again. Teacher, how's your strange fire?"
"I'm fine," Yao Chen replied in a deep voice, the seriousness in his eyes still lingering. Having survived this ordeal, and considering that the Burning Technique couldn't be stopped, Yao Chen found it hard to relax; worry and guilt filled his heart.
"But……"
Seeing Yao Chen's emotions, Huo Yuhao continued, "The Burning Technique is fine now... for the time being." He spoke the last three words in a low voice, so much so that even Yao Chen, who was standing right next to him, couldn't hear them.
Xiao Yan was still kicking the pebbles on the ground in frustration. Suddenly, he cried out "Ouch!" and hopped up on one leg, clutching his foot, as if he had been kicked by a stone instead.
"What is this thing?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at it and shook the thing that looked like a stone.
"It's inserted inside."
Huo Yuhao pulled out the long, thin object with force, patted off the dirt, and examined it carefully.
"This... should be a piece of metal ore?"
"What the heck? Don't be ridiculous, metal ores never grow like this, so straight!"
"Yes, you're right, but it is indeed a metallic ore." Huo Yuhao smiled. He glanced around and found that there were no other similar ores besides this one.
"As expected," Huo Yuhao weighed the metal ore in his hand and repeated in a low voice, "Still quite stingy."
