"This... honestly, I don't know either. Maybe it's because of my physique." Xiao Yu still didn't tell Medicine Elder the truth, blaming it all on his physique.
"After I separated from Teacher, I noticed some changes slowly appearing in my body. Then the Bone Chilling Flame appeared, and I've been able to use it ever since. Later, I came into contact with beast flames."
Pfft!
Another flame appeared in Xiao Yu's hand—the Purple Flame that had appeared when he showed Medicine Elder and Xiao Yan the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus in the desert.
"Gasp! Three kinds of flames." Xiao Yan, standing nearby, was nearly suffocating from shock at the number of Heavenly Flames Xiao Yu possessed. Xiao Yu ignored him and continued.
"Later, I suspected it was due to some aspect of my physique that even you, Teacher, hadn't noticed. After that, I learned that the Green Lotus Core Flame existed in the Tagore Desert, so I kept looking for chances to come into contact with it, and then..." As he spoke, Xiao Yu slowly reached his hand toward the Green Lotus Core Flame atop the lotus throne.
"Senior Brother!"
At that moment, Xiao Yu had no protection whatsoever, yet he directly thrust his hand into the Green Lotus Core Flame. Xiao Yan watched in terror, and even though Medicine Elder had been prepared, he still couldn't understand it.
Because before their eyes, the Green Lotus Core Flame burned straight through Xiao Yu's arm, even spreading along it toward his body. Amid their shock, Xiao Yu slowly turned into a blazing figure of fire.
"Fuck! S-Senior Brother, are you okay?" Xiao Yan stared tremblingly at the "fireman" before him, not knowing what to say. Medicine Elder's eyes were also filled with doubt—doubt toward everything he had learned over the years.
