Dou Qi Continent, Jia Ma Empire, Wutan City.
Mittel Auction House.
Lei Luo lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Did I transmigrate?
Or perhaps I was reborn through possession?
A massive influx of memory fragments flooded his mind, and Lei Luo rolled his eyes back, nearly fainting from the pain.
After a long while, he finished organizing the memories and finally understood his current situation.
"Mittel Lei Luo, young patriarch of the Miter Family in the Imperial Capital?"
Just as Lei Luo was feeling bewildered, a voice filled with allure reached his ears.
"Young Master, are you alright? You suddenly fainted just now, and you scared me to death!"
Listening to this voice that made his whole body tingle, Lei Luo looked up and couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.
Two figures stood before the bed.
One was a middle-aged man, roughly forty years old, looking at him with concern.
From his memories, Lei Luo knew this person was Mittel Ying Jia, the guard responsible for his training abroad, a Nine-Star Great Battle Master.
The other person was the reason he had just been dazed.
She was a woman so beautiful that even other women would be jealous of her.
A hint of enchantment played upon her smiling, pretty face, and she wore a vibrant red, tight-fitting brocade robe.
The gorgeously crafted, noble robe perfectly outlined the woman's wonderful curves.
A length of snow-white, dazzling leg beneath the robe stirred a fiery impulse in one's heart.
A silver belt cinched her slender, willow-like waist, highlighting it to the fullest.
"Ya Fei?" Lei Luo whispered.
Seeing the state of their Young Master, Ya Fei hurriedly stepped forward to support his body and asked with concern:
"Young Master, are you alright? Should I go and fetch a physician to examine you?"
Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Lei Luo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, What a temptress!
Suppressing the heat in his heart, Lei Luo said softly to Ya Fei, "I'm fine. You two go out first; I'll be fine if I rest by myself for a while."
Hearing this, Ya Fei and Ying Jia exchanged a glance, then urged him to rest well before exiting the room.
After the two left, before Lei Luo could even recover his senses, a mysterious voice rang out in his mind.
[Transmigration process successful, Sign-in System is loading, please wait...]
[System loading complete, you have received a Newbie Gift Pack.]
Hearing the voice in his mind, Lei Luo's eyes lit up, and he used his consciousness to open the gift pack.
[Gift pack is opening, please wait...]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining top-tier cultivation aptitude on the Dou Qi Continent!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the god-tier cultivation technique Heaven-Swallowing Art!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Taotie Divine Body!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the twenty-first ranked Heavenly Flame: Yin-Yang Twin Flames!]
Opening his eyes, the corners of Lei Luo's mouth began to curl upward uncontrollably.
"Extract rewards," Lei Luo whispered to himself.
Immediately, a torrent of information exploded in his mind.
A mysterious energy coursed through his body, replacing his existing cultivation technique.
A violent pain suddenly erupted, nearly causing Lei Luo to scream out loud.
Just then, two terrifying energies burst forth from within his dantian.
Seeing this, Lei Luo's expression changed drastically, fearing that something had gone wrong with his body.
Calming his mind, he clearly felt two energies with completely different attributes rampaging inside him.
One was gentle and soft, carrying powerful healing properties.
The other was dark and cold, filled with deathly aura!
As soon as the two distinct energies appeared, a terrifying fire-attribute energy began to erupt wildly.
"Is this the Yin-Yang Twin Flames?" Lei Luo whispered.
Even though the Yin-Yang Twin Flames were only ranked twenty-first on the Heavenly Flame list, the energy they contained was terrifying.
Soon, a massive and scorching energy fluctuation enveloped the entire Mittel Auction House.
Fortunately, with the system's protection, the energy of the Heavenly Flame did not spiral out of control.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The Dou Qi within his body surged violently, and his skin began to grow scalding hot.
He even felt as if the blood and energy throughout his entire body had been ignited, with thunderous explosions echoing from within.
Feeling the terrifying power inside him, Lei Luo hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to absorb this energy.
With the help of a god-tier technique and the system, refining and absorbing this mere Yin-Yang Twin Flames was naturally not a problem.
The pure energy of the Heavenly Flame continuously scoured Lei Luo's physical body while simultaneously strengthening his cultivation.
His predecessor had seemingly possessed average talent, relying on the resources of the Miter Family to barely reach the realm of a One-Star Dou Practitioner by the age of seventeen.
At this moment, the barrier of Lei Luo's realm, which had originally been as solid as a rock, was as fragile as thin paper, instantly shattered by the surging energy of the Heavenly Flame!
Two-Star Dou Practitioner, Three-Star Dou Practitioner...
When Lei Luo's cultivation stopped at the Nine-Star Dou Practitioner level, the fierce momentum of his progress experienced a brief stagnation.
But that was all.
His aura continued to climb steadily!
One-Star Dou Master, Two-Star, Three-Star...
Half an hour later, Lei Luo's robes billowed, and ripples of powerful energy erupted from his body.
Opening his eyes and looking at his outstretched palm, Lei Luo could not help but feel as if he were in a dream.
He clenched his five fingers tightly, producing a sharp, explosive sound.
Seven-Star Dou Master!
He had crossed a full fifteen minor realms!
Feeling the powerful Dou Qi within him, Lei Luo felt refreshed and invigorated.
Is this the thrill of possessing power? Lei Luo murmured in a low voice.
However, just as Lei Luo was undergoing this rebirth, on the back mountain of the Xiao Household in Wutan City, one—or rather, two—figures were staring intently at the location of the Miter Auction House.
"Teacher, was that just a Heavenly Flame?"
Xiao Yan swallowed hard, his eyes filled with a hint of burning desire.
Floating beside him was an illusory soul, and there was no need to guess that this was the once-renowned Yao Chen, Venerable Yao!
However, Yao Chen's expression was equally shocked, and he could not utter a word for a long time.
After a long while, he laughed at himself with a bitter expression: "Back then, I suffered countless hardships and torments just to find this Bone Chilling Flame.
Who would have thought that today, in this tiny Wutan City, a Heavenly Flame would manifest? Truly, fate is a cruel jester!"
Xiao Yan, dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt, licked his dry lips upon hearing this, his eyes dancing with heat: "Should we... go take a look?"
Seeing this, Yao Chen could not help but shake his head with a wry smile: "You brat, you really are a natural-born powerhouse.
But I fear this Heavenly Flame is not something we can lay our hands on!"
Hearing Yao Chen's words, a look of unwillingness appeared on Xiao Yan's "innocent" face as he lingered, gazing toward the distant sky.
Seeing this, Yao Chen shook his head with a bitter smile and patiently explained to Xiao Yan.
"The aura of that Heavenly Flame appeared suddenly just now and then vanished completely; it is clear that it has already been subdued!"
"And a powerhouse capable of subduing a Heavenly Flame so quickly is not someone we can provoke at will."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan gave a sheepish laugh, then withdrew his gaze, lost in his own thoughts...
