Cultivating the Blazing Art and Refining the Extreme Fire! Awakening the Body Martial Soul, Flame Pupil?

Old Man Yao's illusory figure swayed slightly in the Sea of Consciousness, yet his expression lacked the ease Dai Yu expected, holding a hint of solemnity instead.

"Some things, old man must say first."

Old Man Yao pondered for a moment, looking at Dai Yu with profound eyes:

"The tyranny of the Blazing Art indeed lies in its ability to devour flames and evolve.

In old man's original world, cultivation methods were divided into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.

Yet the initial grade of this Blazing Art is merely the lowest of the Yellow Tier Low Rank."

"If it wishes to evolve, to display heaven-destroying and earth-shattering might, it must devour 'Heavenly Flames' generated between heaven and earth."

Saying this, Old Man Yao sighed, sweeping his gaze across this unfamiliar Sea of Consciousness:

"Yet these past few days old man has observed that this world called the Douluo Continent, though rich in Soul Power and peculiar in laws,

seems devoid of the unique 'Heavenly Flames' native to old man's world."

"Without those natural treasures on the Heavenly Flames Ranking, this Blazing Art is merely an ordinary, perhaps even somewhat inferior, cultivation method."

Old Man Yao stared into Dai Yu's eyes with a serious tone:

"If you cultivate it, before devouring sufficiently powerful flames,

your cultivation speed might become several times slower than now, perhaps even falling short of some ordinary high-grade meditation techniques."

"This is undoubtedly a high-stakes gamble."

"You are wagering your originally smooth cultivation future on an 'evolution' that may never materialize in this world."

"Kid, have you truly thought this through?

Will you cultivate this incomplete cultivation method that might 'fail to adapt' in this world?"

The Sea of Consciousness fell into a brief silence.

Hearing this, the smile on Dai Yu's face did not fade; instead, the light in his eyes grew increasingly fervent.

He naturally knew the drawbacks of the Blazing Art.

Yet he knew even better: in this Douluo Continent, how vast was the variety of flames?

The Evil Fire Phoenix's Evil Fire, Ma Xiaotao's Black Fire, and even the innate fire of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast he might encounter in the future...

"Old Man Yao, you said it yourself—that is the rule of your world."

The corners of Dai Yu's mouth curled into a confident arc as he pointed at the crimson seed suspended in mid-air:

"Although there is neither Green Lotus Core Flame nor Bone Spirit Cold Flame here,

the essence of 'fire' is connected in any world."

"This seed contains the origin of this world's 'Extreme Fire'.

In terms of quality, I fear it loses to none of the low-to-mid-tier Heavenly Flames of your world, right?"

Dai Yu paused, a trace of shrewdness and ambition flashing in his eyes:

"As long as I cultivate the Blazing Art first and devour this Extreme Fire seed,

using this as a foundation, I refuse to believe the Blazing Art cannot evolve!"

"Besides..."

Dai Yu clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body:

"Although this world lacks a Heavenly Flame Ranking, it possesses various soul beasts and martial souls with top-tier fire talents.

As long as it is fire, I can devour it!

As long as I can devour it, I can grow stronger!"

"The so-called slow cultivation speed is simply not worth mentioning in the face of the shortcut of devouring and evolution."

"This Blazing Art, I am definitely cultivating it!"

Seeing Dai Yu's resolute appearance, Old Man Yao was stunned.

Immediately, he laughed up to the sky, his laughter filled with boldness and appreciation:

"Good!

What a fine 'as long as it is fire, I can devour it'!"

"If old man had been as timid and hesitant as you back then, I could never have achieved later greatness.

Since you have such daring, old man shall accompany you on this gamble!"

"In this other world, we shall recast the glory of the Blazing Art!"

Before his voice faded, Old Man Yao did not hesitate.

Bringing his two fingers together, he condensed a brilliant ball of soul light at his fingertips and fiercely thrust it toward the center of Dai Yu's brow.

"Quiet your mind and concentrate, guard the primal unity!"

"This is--the Blazing Art!"

Rumble!

A massive and abstruse Information Stream instantly rushed into Dai Yu's mind.

Ancient, desolate, domineering.

Golden characters spun rapidly in Dai Yu's mind, ultimately arranging themselves into a profound cultivation method.

Disregarding the swelling pain in his mind, Dai Yu immediately sat cross-legged in the center of the Sea of Consciousness.

Following the circulation route of the Blazing Art, he began attempting to mobilize the Soul Power within his body.

Outside.

In the classroom.

A strange fluctuation suddenly appeared around Dai Yu, who had originally been meditating with closed eyes.

Though faint, Wang Dong, sitting right beside him, acutely perceived it.

This fellow... can cultivate even in the classroom?

Wang Dong glanced at Dai Yu with some surprise, muttering inwardly:

No wonder he's so strong, he's simply a cultivation maniac.

Meanwhile, Dai Yu's mind was completely immersed in the changes within his body.

As the Blazing Art circulated, the "Extreme Fire" seed that had been suspended in the Sea of Consciousness seemed to receive a summons.

It slowly descended, sliding along the meridians into Dai Yu's Dantian.

The next second.

Boom--!

The Extreme Fire erupted!

Within the Dantian, under the domineering circulation of the Blazing Art, the hard outer shell of the crimson "Extreme Fire" seed cracked inch by inch.

Crack.

A soft sound echoed within Dai Yu's body.

The next instant, it was as if a volcano dormant for a thousand years had suddenly erupted!

Boom--!

An intensely terrifying, scorching energy instantly swept through Dai Yu's limbs and bones.

If an ordinary meditation technique had been used, facing such violent Extreme Fire, the meridians would likely have been burned to ashes long ago.

Yet the reason the Blazing Art could become a supreme cultivation method lay in its "devouring" and "harnessing."

Those golden runes acted like chains, locking onto the rampaging flames,

forcibly stripping, refining, and converting them into the purest Soul Power.

However, the power of this Extreme Fire was far too immense,

and its attribute so domineering that it actually refused to merge with Dai Yu's original White Tiger (Geng Metal) Soul Power.

It rampaged through the meridians, searching for an outlet.

Want to run?

Dai Yu snorted coldly in his heart, his will like a blade, forcibly guiding this violent Fire Element all the way upward.

Crossing the chest and abdomen, it surged straight toward the Sea of Awareness!

Since it refused to reside in the Dantian, then find a home between my brows!

Open--for me!

Dai Yu let out a low roar in his heart.

Outside, in the classroom.

Dai Yu, who had been sitting quietly, trembled violently.

A visible wave of heat spread outward from him as the center.

Wang Dong, sitting beside him, bore the brunt of it, feeling as though he had suddenly been pushed into a furnace as the cool air instantly turned scorching hot.

"So hot!

What's wrong with this guy again?!"

Wang Dong exclaimed, instinctively turning his head to look.

At this sight, he froze completely.

Right in the center of Dai Yu's previously smooth and unblemished forehead, a crimson slit had unexpectedly split open!

Within that slit, golden-red light flowed, seemingly containing endless majesty and destruction.
