In a distant corner of the forest, the sea of fire continued to burn steadily, setting tree after tree ablaze as it slowly expanded.
Under such circumstances, many fire-element spirits in the forest began eagerly rushing toward the flames, while many water-element spirits gathered at the edge of the blaze and began putting it out, trying to contain its spread.
It was not that those spirits cared especially deeply for the forest. The environment created by the inferno was simply far too unpleasant for water-element spirits, so they wanted to extinguish it.
As for the spirits of other attributes in the forest, they too began bustling about. Some moved away from the sea of fire, while others headed toward it, making the once somewhat gloomy forest lively.
Among those spirits, there had to be some contracted spirits serving other contestants in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival, right?
After all, such a huge commotion was bound to draw the attention of the other contestants.
The Elf Users who noticed the disturbance would surely be eager to find out what exactly was happening in the direction of the flames.
Therefore, it was hardly strange for them to send their spirits to investigate.
However, while those contracted spirits rushed toward the sea of fire, a figure flashed in from the opposite direction like a streak of light, landing in a clearing and revealing his full appearance.
Noticing quite a few contracted spirits heading toward the flames, Noah could not help spreading his hands slightly.
"Did I make a little too much of a scene?"
The Spirit Sword Dance Festival had only just begun.
