Chapter 114 Four Strange Flames!
Seeing this, Yao Chen naturally understood that Xiao Feng had successfully cultivated the "Burning Technique." Otherwise, how could he have gathered and fused the three different flames into one? Could it be that he really achieved this through his own strength?
However, to suppress the repulsion between oneself and the strange fire and successfully incorporate it into one's body requires immense courage and strength! Even Xiao Xuan, who is at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, could only do this much, and devouring three strange fires was already his limit.
Although Yao Chen didn't know exactly how strong Xiao Feng was, he didn't believe Xiao Feng's strength could compare to Xiao Xuan's. If that were the case, he could indeed achieve that with his own strength. But why was someone with such formidable strength not well-known in the Dou Qi Continent? Why did the Xiao Clan choose to remain in this small world instead of returning to Zhongzhou and restoring the Xiao Clan's glory?
Yao Chen was well aware of the Xiao Clan's plight. The Xiao Clan's enemy was the Soul Clan, one of the eight ancient races! The Soul Clan was able to destroy the Xiao Clan a thousand years ago, which shows how powerful they were. The reason why Xiao Feng did not lead the Xiao Clan to the world to take revenge on the Soul Clan did not mean that they had forgotten this hatred or put it aside.
The only explanation is that Xiao Feng's strength is not yet sufficient to contend with the Soul Clan! That is why he chose to remain hidden.
If that's the case, then it means that no matter what, Xiao Feng's strength could not reach the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng. At most, he could only reach the level of an eight-star Dou Sheng. However, even if he were an eight-star Dou Sheng, it would definitely not be something that could be done in a short time to devour, refine, and fuse all three different flames!
Although one can suppress the repulsion between these strange flames with great strength, it would take a very long time, ranging from several months to several years. However, Xiao Feng only took a few dozen days and even devoured and refined two strange flames in succession. How is that possible!
Throughout history, perhaps only the miraculous technique "Burning Technique" could overcome the repulsion between different flames and devour and refine them in such a short time.
"Clan leader? What, what, what's going on?" Yao Chen screamed in shock.
Seeing Yao Chen pointing at the strange fire in his hand with one finger, his face full of shock, Xiao Feng immediately knew that Yao Chen had successfully cultivated the "Burning Technique." However, he didn't know anything about it either; he had just succeeded in cultivating it without any explanation.
To verify that what he knew was true, he even went so far as to find the explanation in the introduction of "Burning Technique" that it was impossible to switch cultivation methods. It can be said that he was also very puzzled about this matter. In the end, he could only explain that it was related to his identity as a transmigrator. However, this was something that he could not explain to Yao Chen.
Moreover, there was another person present. Xiao Feng had more and more doubts about the "Burning Technique" and did not want too many people to know.
So after hearing Yao Chen's words, he didn't reply, but simply looked up and gave him a deep look. That one look completely dispelled Yao Chen's desire to ask any further questions.
He has become smarter now. He has figured it out. No matter what happened, no matter whether Xiao Feng successfully cultivated the "Burning Technique" or not, it is none of his business, and he doesn't need to know the reason.
Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, because it can become a deadly "poison"!
Having figured all this out, he stopped thinking about it and suppressed all his doubts. He then continued to examine the strange fire in Xiao Feng's hand.
In addition to sensing the three strange flames, Yao Chen also detected the aura of another strange flame. Although he did not see the specific appearance of this strange flame, he could make a fairly accurate guess.
He already knew that Xiao Feng was a member of the Xiao clan, and the other two strange flames he displayed now also confirmed this. You should know that the Three Thousand Burning Flames and the Yin-Yang Twin Flames originally belonged to Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao clan. Isn't it normal for them to be passed on to the current patriarch, Xiao Feng?
So, what exactly is Xiao Feng's last strange fire? Its identity is now obvious. Originally, Xiao Xuan possessed three strange fires: the Three Thousand Burning Flames, the Volcanic Stone Flame, and the Yin-Yang Twin Flames. He had already discerned that the fused strange fire in Xiao Feng's hand contained both the Three Thousand Burning Flames and the Yin-Yang Twin Flames. Now, it seems that this last strange fire is naturally the Volcanic Stone Flame, ranked seventeenth on the Strange Fire Ranking.
Looking at the flame in Xiao Feng's hand, formed from the fusion of four different flames, Yao Chen felt a complex mix of emotions. "Xiao Feng already possesses four different flames within his body, meaning that even without his own Bone Spirit Cold Flame, he could still gather three different flames to reshape his body. Yet, he used this as an excuse to demand his Bone Spirit Cold Flame..."
He sighed inwardly. Now that he was Xiao Feng's subordinate, no matter what the truth was, he had to keep it to himself and pretend he knew nothing.
At first, he was indeed very angry, but upon closer inspection, what right did he have to be angry? Was it because of his status as "Xiao Feng's subordinate"? Or was it because of his status as an eighth-grade alchemist who now only had a wisp of soul left?
Moreover, Xiao Feng needed to expend a lot of treasures to reshape his body. These things were extremely precious, and even if he wanted to collect them all in his lifetime, he couldn't do it in a short time and would have to pay a huge price. So, it seemed reasonable for him to give up the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
Of course, he also knew that a rare and precious object like a strange fire would naturally attract covetousness, and in his current state, he was even less able to protect it. Since Xiao Feng had already cultivated the "Burning Technique," it was only a matter of time before he took his strange fire.
Whether he was just trying to comfort himself or he truly believed it, the situation was already irreversible.
Xiao Feng was unaware of Yao Chen's thoughts, and he was even less aware that Yao Chen could discern their identities simply by looking at the strange fire in his hand. He did this not on purpose, but because he knew that some things simply could not be hidden. He just did not expect Yao Chen to discover it so quickly.
