Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

Page 396

The youth's fighting spirit enveloped the energy of the Chaos Fire, and then began to refine it. In Mo Shang's perception, this originally violent energy was gradually refined and became part of the youth's strength.

The last remaining wisp of chaotic fire was powerless to reverse the situation.

To avoid being exposed, Mo Shang could only control the Chaos Fire, which eventually exploded wildly within the man's body. The wisp of his consciousness hidden within the Chaos Fire, masquerading as a mutated soul concealed in the blood pool, let out a roar and then, like a moth drawn to a flame, plunged into the youth's energy torrent, crushing and transforming into yet another source of nourishment...

Seeing that he had been thwarted by the third person, Mo Shang dared not continue to attack him. The other party could even refine the energy within the blood pool, so it was unlikely that Mo Shang could hide and fish in troubled waters, causing any impact on him. He gave up the idea of ​​continuing to attack him.

Then, Mo Shang turned his gaze to the last of the five people. However, sensing the calm demeanor of the young man and the faint sense of danger emanating from him, Mo Shang had no intention of continuing to attack him.

In the underground cave, on a protruding rock, several high-ranking members of the Soul Hall looked at the five remaining young prodigies in the blood pool below, their expressions showing no surprise whatsoever.

"The time is almost right, let's move on to the next phase of the plan."

The leading figure spoke softly, his hoarse voice echoing from the ground. The others behind him exchanged glances, nodded silently, and then focused their attention back on the blood pool below…

................

Outside the Valley of Burning Flames.

"Senior brother."

After leaving the Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Fan and his group did not linger and left directly from where they were.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan, who was flying ahead with his head down, and a look of doubt appeared on his face. He couldn't help but speak in surprise. Then, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan flew to Xiao Fan's side and looked at him with curiosity.

Ever since leaving Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Fan had been looking preoccupied as he flew ahead, with Xiao Yan and Zi Yan following behind. It was only because Xiao Yan noticed something was wrong with Xiao Fan that he interrupted him.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Xiao Fan suddenly snapped out of his reverie. A hint of apology appeared on his face as he looked at Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, saying, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't consider you. It's mainly because I had some new ideas after fighting with Valley Master Tang Zhen just now."

Xiao Fan looked down at the mountains below, then at Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, and said, "Let's find a place here to rest for a bit."

Xiao Yan and Xiao Fan listened to Xiao Fan's arrangement and naturally had no objections. The three of them then searched the mountain range and finally found a cave where a magic ape was located. They cleaned it out and rested there for the time being.

Since the three of them were still within the Burning Flame Valley and the Blazing Fire Mountain Range, they carefully searched around in order to maintain a certain distance from the Burning Flame Valley.

There are several places in the cave of the magic ape. After entering the cave, Xiao Fan randomly chose one to enter. He nodded to Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, and without saying much, he sat down cross-legged and let his consciousness sink into his body.

Xiao Fan kept reviewing his previous battle with Tang Zhen, carefully recalling his feelings about the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Dark chaotic fire appeared on Xiao Fan's body and gradually enveloped him.

Inside the cave outside, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan did not disturb Xiao Fan after he entered, as they both understood how difficult each breakthrough was.

Although Xiao Fan's breakthrough seemed as simple as drinking water or eating to the two of them, now that they heard Xiao Fan was moved, they didn't dare to disturb him. They carefully sat cross-legged on the spot and continued to cultivate.

Inside the cave, Xiao Fan reviewed his battle with Tang Zhen and carefully examined the aura of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Unfortunately, he only caught a fleeting glimpse of the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire and did not truly absorb it. Otherwise, there would be no need for such a troublesome review.

However, this was also an attempt for Xiao Fan. He always felt that his control over the Chaos Fire was not good enough before. It was only after breaking through to Dou Zun and using the Five-Round Fire Control Technique that Xiao Fan felt that his application of the Chaos Fire had reached a deeper level. This time, his contact with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire also gave him a new idea.

After all, not every strange fire he encounters in the future will be unclaimed. If he can simulate the characteristics of these strange fires by coming into contact with them and transform the Chaos Fire, then his strength will naturally reach a higher level.

As Xiao Fan continued to ponder, the Chaos Flame on his body also kept changing, gradually resembling the Nine Dragons Thunder Flame in the Burning Flame Valley.

However, Xiao Fan's furrowed brows remained, because he realized that although his Chaos Fire had imitated the appearance and aura of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, it was still fundamentally different from the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. In other words, it was only similar in appearance.

"It's still not right..."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the "Nine Dragons Thunderfire" on his body dissipated completely. Xiao Fan frowned slightly, no longer fixated on the outward appearance of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, but instead began to sense the core of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire he had previously felt...

"Shh!"

Carefully reviewing the strange fire emotions he sensed during that brief contact, Xiao Fan suddenly felt extremely hot around him, as if he had entered a place filled with intense fire-attribute power.

Xiao Fan looked down and saw that his body seemed to have turned into a scorching flame, and all around him was a dense fire attribute power.

"What am I doing...?"

A hint of surprise flashed through Xiao Fan's mind, and a guess began to form in his heart.

"Have I transformed into the Nine Dragons Thunderfire?"

As if to verify his guess, Xiao Fan wanted to take action, but found that he could not make any movements. He was like a quietly burning flame, only able to passively absorb the energy of the surrounding world.

As time passed, the flames that had been burning quietly gradually became violent and magnificent, and they also gradually developed sentience, beginning to influence the surrounding environment.

At this moment, Xiao Fan understood that he was experiencing the "life" of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Although he hadn't figured out the specific reason yet, Xiao Fan didn't resist, after all, this was a very rare opportunity.

As its physical form strengthened and its intelligence emerged, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire gradually felt that its birthplace was a cage, and began to emit a violent aura that spread outwards, wanting to break into this bustling world.

Unfortunately, with the exposure of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire aura, what awaited him was not a prosperous world, but powerful figures whose eyes were filled with greed.

To possess this newly born, ownerless Nine Dragons Thunderfire, powerful figures fought here, greedily wanting to devour it and turn it into their own playthings.

However, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, born after absorbing energy for an unknown period of time, was something that these ants could not possibly resist.

Even when they joined forces, they were ultimately unable to resist the terrifying energy of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Countless powerful individuals were reduced to ashes by the Nine Dragons Thunderfire.

With its terrifying energy, magnificent appearance, and soul-shaking properties, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was ranked twelfth on the list of extraordinary fires by the people of the continent.

However, no matter how powerful it was, in the face of the darlings of heaven and earth, humanity, it ultimately fell into the hands of the strong.

Looking at the Nine Dragons Thunderfire constantly resisting in his palm, the terrifying old man with white hair and beard waved his hand lightly. The terrifying energy completely sealed the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. The dense seals firmly imprisoned its core, and even the consciousness that had been born was sealed again in this small space, falling into a deep sleep.

In the years that followed, humans inscribed runes on his body to reinforce the core energy seal. Finally, through a special technique, they were able to easily wield their power...

Chapter 143 Devouring, Evolution of the Burning Technique!

"This must be the time when the Nine Dragons Thunderfire began to be enslaved by the Burning Flame Valley..."

As the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was gradually imprisoned by chains and subsequently enslaved, Xiao Fan's gaze also fell on the old man who had imprisoned it.

The other party should be the ancestor of Burning Flame Valley. However, as time passed, the other party gradually disappeared from the memories of Nine Dragons Thunderfire. In its place were the valley masters of Burning Flame Valley, who used the special techniques within Burning Flame Valley to "borrow" the power of Nine Dragons Thunderfire time and time again. From then on, Nine Dragons Thunderfire became the private property of Burning Flame Valley.

"Ang~"

Seemingly unwilling to be manipulated by fate, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire felt its anger growing more intense. However, faced with the restrictive runes from the outside world, its consciousness could never escape this cage, and it could only roar in resentment time and time again within this confinement.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire sensed a startling aura. Even through the seal, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire could feel the terrifying power of the aura, and it trembled and stopped almost instinctively.

It was precisely during this brief pause that the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, having accumulated countless years of consciousness, was able to emit a mournful cry from its very soul.

At this point, Xiao Fan realized that the reason he was able to sense the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was because the Chaos Fire was so terrifying that it directly suppressed the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, thus creating a slight resonance.

However, through this resonance, Xiao Fan seemed to transform into the Nine Dragons Thunderfire over the endless years, and the familiarity he felt with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was simply indescribable.

"Shh!"

Inside the cave, Xiao Fan opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing in them. A silver fire dragon flashed past his eyes, and then the black flames that had been covering Xiao Fan's body gradually lightened in color, turning into silver-white flames that enveloped him.

"hold head high!"

A sound like a dragon's roar echoed in the silent cave. Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, who were cultivating with their eyes closed, trembled slightly. Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and his soul power, which was at the level of a seventh-grade alchemist, instinctively erupted to protect himself. Then, his gaze subconsciously turned to the location of Xiao Fan.

Immediately afterward, a wisp of purple energy flashed across Zi Yan's body, and she stood up, her brows slightly furrowed.

After realizing that it was Xiao Fan who made the commotion, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Who would understand? The two of them were cultivating peacefully when they suddenly heard a dragon's roar. They immediately felt their souls being shaken, experiencing a momentary freeze, and their consciousness briefly plunged into darkness.

The two understood that since Xiao Fan had orchestrated this situation, their senior brother's strength had likely improved significantly...

As Xiao Yan and Zi Yan regained consciousness, they looked toward the cave where Xiao Fan was. There, they saw familiar silver flames roaring out of the cave and instantly transforming into silver fire dragons that destroyed the entire cave.

As Xiao Yan and Zi Yan sensed the cave gradually collapsing, they didn't hesitate at all. With a flicker, they left the cave and appeared in mid-air.

The two looked down at the collapsed cave and the silver fire dragon roaring in the air, their faces showing surprise.

If they were not mistaken, this silver fire dragon was clearly the Nine Dragons Thunderfire that Tang Zhen had used in the Burning Flame Valley!

"This aura..."

Xiao Yan, who was most familiar with the strange fire, carefully sensed the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in mid-air, and then a look of shock appeared on his face.

"This aura... it's the purest Nine Dragons Thunderfire!?"

Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "How... how did Senior Brother do that?!"

Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Fan possessed a mysterious black flame that had never been listed on the Strange Flame Ranking. Even when he absorbed the Turtle Spirit Earth Flame, it was his senior brother who helped him weaken the power of the Turtle Spirit Earth Flame, which allowed him to control it so easily.

But at this moment, as Xiao Yan looked at the silver fire dragon roaring and chasing in mid-air, a fiery light flashed in his eyes.

"Shh!"

Xiao Yan turned around and saw Xiao Fan standing beside him. Xiao Fan looked at the longing in Xiao Yan's eyes, smiled, and said with a laugh, "How about it? Isn't your senior brother amazing?"

"Senior brother, how did you do that?!"

Xiao Yan's eyes sparkled as he looked at Xiao Fan with adoration, his tone filled with surprise and disbelief.

"What's so difficult about this?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "When I fought with Valley Master Tang, I carefully sensed the aura of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. After that, I had some understanding of it, and now I'm finally able to recreate it."

"Great!"

Xiao Yan raised his head, looking at the silver fire dragon in mid-air, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Fan's lips curled up again, and he then asked Xiao Yan, "Junior Brother, do you want the Nine Dragons Thunderfire?"

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan turned around, a smile on his face: "Senior brother, please don't make fun of me."

Xiao Yan understood that the method of transforming into Nine Dragons Thunderfire was likely a characteristic of the mysterious black flame his senior brother possessed. Although his Burning Technique required devouring strange flames to upgrade, Xiao Yan had never entertained any extreme thoughts. It would be best to find an unclaimed flame and upgrade the Burning Technique to the Heavenly Rank.

However, if it were like the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, belonging to the Burning Flame Valley, Xiao Yan would not insist.

"Junior brother, as long as you open your mouth and say you want the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, I will definitely send it to you even if it means going through fire and water!"
