Balancing Yin-Yang Fire, Heart Separation Control Method

The training of Ma Hongjun ended with him being swatted away by the Blazing Lion King.

The time within the Mysterious Yellow Merit Pagoda was, after all, limited.

Ma Hongjun, having been sent flying, nimbly scrambled up from the ground and reached out to wipe the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Yet, a satisfied smile hung on his face.

"Boss, that fight was truly exhilarating! So satisfying! It's a pity I'm still no match for it."

Ma Hongjun walked over to the side of Ye Ruilin with a grin, looking at the Blazing Lion King that had been thoroughly enraged before them.

"Old Wu, make your move."

The group still had the strength to fight ordinary Blazing Lions, but this Blazing Lion King, even with its flames restricted, still possessed extraordinary combat power.

At most, they were only at the stage of obtaining their first spirit ring; they were not yet qualified to contend with this Blazing Lion King.

Upon receiving the order from Ye Ruilin, Old Wu's figure swiftly appeared at the side of the Blazing Lion King.

With a heavy strike from his withered palm, the Blazing Lion King's entire body was slammed into the ground, its tendons and bones shattered, though it was left with one final breath.

"Hongjun, finish it."

"This Blazing Lion King is only 500 years old, which, while exceeding the maximum limit for a first spirit ring, is manageable."

"Since you have cultivated the Nine Heavens Burning Fire Art, your foundation is already far stronger than others."

"A spirit ring of over 500 years should be absorbable for you."

Tossing a delicate small knife to Ma Hongjun, Ye Ruilin signaled for him to act quickly.

Ma Hongjun caught the knife, and with a swift motion, cleanly finished off the Blazing Lion King on the ground.

A spirit ring slowly emerged, emitting a faint, eerie glow, and Ma Hongjun did not delay, immediately beginning the absorption process.

While Ma Hongjun was absorbing the spirit ring, Ye Ruilin stretched his body.

Tempered by the flames of the Blazing Lion King, he felt as though the impurities on the surface of his skin had been burned away by his physical strength.

His overall physical defense had increased by a small margin.

Unfortunately, the flame's intensity was insufficient to fully temper his entire body.

To thoroughly temper and strengthen his body, he feared he could only achieve this through the Bingyang True Fire.

Thinking of this, Ye Ruilin quickly calculated the suitable spirit beasts in his mind.

Ever since he absorbed a ten-thousand-year fire-attribute spirit bone, he had awakened the power of the Xu Dog.

The awakening of the Xu Dog's power not only granted him the means of the Rooster Thunder-Cry.

It also significantly enhanced his control over fire attributes.

If he could quickly awaken the powers of the Hai Pig and the Xu Dog, he would be able to fully master the Power of the Seven Mansions of the Vermilion Bird.

In this world, what flame could be stronger than the Innate Li Fire?

Regrettably, with his current cultivation level, he could only control the Bingyang True Fire and the Dingyin Spirit Fire separately.

It was difficult enough to split his focus to control these two flames, let alone achieve a delicate balance between them.

Thinking of the method of Heart Separation Control, Ye Ruilin looked toward Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side.

Every spirit master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect whose martial soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda possessed the Heart Separation Control technique.

If he could learn this Heart Separation Control technique, he would be able to balance these two flames with much greater proficiency.

Ning Rongrong seemed to sense Ye Ruilin's gaze and walked over, looking puzzled.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

The young girl asked with a grin.

The battle just now was the first time she had ever taken action.

The young girl was still quite excited, her cheeks flushed, making her look exceptionally adorable.

"Rongrong, how is your progress with the Heart Separation Control of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Ye Ruilin asked.

Ning Rongrong was taken aback; she hadn't expected Brother Ye to know about the Heart Separation Control cultivation method of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Immediately, a look of embarrassment appeared on the young girl's face.

She had been playful before, and even though her father taught her diligently every time, she could only manage to split her focus into two.

Compared to some of her brothers and sisters in the family, she was already considered quite poor.

"Brother Ye, I didn't expect you to know about this."

"However, I can currently only manage to split my focus into two."

Ning Rongrong scratched her head in embarrassment, regretting why she hadn't cultivated properly back then.

If she had practiced diligently, she would be able to speak confidently about her strength in front of Brother Ye right now.

"That is already very impressive."

Ye Ruilin's face did not show the disappointment Ning Rongrong had imagined; instead, it wore a faint smile.

"If you can reach two soul rings, being able to provide different effects to both me and Hongjun simultaneously is already quite impressive."

"By the way, Rongrong."

"Can outsiders learn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control?"

Ye Ruilin asked.

Ning Rongrong was stunned, looking toward Sword Douluo in confusion.

If one were to call this Heart Separation Control rare, it was likely that only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect practiced it under heaven.

Yet, if one were to say it wasn't rare, even if it were taken outside, other soul masters would dismiss it with a glance.

After all, only a unique support-type martial soul like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would ever require it.

Ning Rongrong had never encountered anyone who wanted to practice the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control.

Sword Douluo sized Ye Ruilin up.

"Is it you who wants to practice it?"

He spoke, his tone quite certain.

Ye Ruilin nodded.

"Senior also knows that I can control flames. If I could practice Heart Separation Control, it would surely enhance my ability to control fire."

If he could learn it, that would be for the best; if not, he would not force the issue.

"This Heart Separation Control isn't anything rare. If you want to learn it, just go find Fengzhi directly when we return."

Sword Douluo would naturally not refuse an opportunity to build a relationship with Ye Ruilin.

If it were some other rare item, he might have considered it, but this required no thought at all.

Ning Rongrong extended her fair, delicate fingers and scratched her forehead.

"Brother Ye."

"It's all my fault for not mastering the craft, otherwise I could have taught you directly."

The young girl's tone seemed to carry a hint of regret.

Sword Douluo looked at the spoiled little girl he had raised since she was small, now appearing so well-behaved.

He chuckled helplessly.

"Kid, you can tell us the purpose of coming to the Sunset Forest now, right?"

Bone Douluo, standing to the side, spoke up, his deep gaze falling directly upon Ye Ruilin.

During this time, he had been patiently following these three young people.

Now that Rongrong and this kid had obtained their soul rings, it was time to talk business, right?

"Do not be anxious, two seniors. The main reason for coming to the Sunset Forest this time is to find a Titled Douluo."

"Only by finding him can I find what I am looking for."

Ye Ruilin looked toward the deeper parts of the Sunset Forest.

That area was shrouded in mist, the trees tall and dense, sunlight unable to pierce through the heavy fog, making the entire forest look dim.

The air was even permeated with a scent of decay.

This was also the most dangerous and core location of the Sunset Forest!
