Xin Qi's young face had gone pale. His Divine Ability Hall had been seized and was being scorched by blazing flames. Their minds were linked, so it felt as though the fire were burning his Divine Soul too. He cried out in pain, "No... don't! Never! Grandpa Kunpeng gave that to me! You're not taking it!"
