The world's first-class spiritual fire, promoted to high-level warriors!

【 In the Ancient Era, a Beast Spirit Flame appeared on a Yao Race battlefield…】

【 One year later: The Beast Spirit Flame absorbed many remnant souls of Yao Beasts, and its power increased…】

【 135 years later: The Beast Spirit Flame absorbed the remnant souls of a hundred types of Yao Beasts, advancing to become a world-class second-tier spirit fire, "Hundred Beasts Spirit Flame," and its power greatly increased…】

【 310 years later: A major battle erupted on the Yao Race battlefield, countless Yao Beasts perished, and as countless Yao souls drifted, the Hundred Beasts Spirit Flame’s growth rate accelerated…】

【 530 years later: The Hundred Beasts Spirit Flame was discovered by a young Yao Race boy and was absorbed into his body using a secret technique…】

【 560 years later: The young Yao Race boy achieved success in his Cultivation, joined his clan’s army, and participated in the great Yao Race war. During the battles, the Hundred Beasts Spirit Flame absorbed a large number of Yao Race remnant souls, and its power rapidly increased…】

【 737 years later: The Hundred Beasts Spirit Flame devoured a thousand types of Yao Beast remnant souls, improving its quality and evolving into a world-class first-tier spirit fire, "Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame"…】

【 890 years later: The young Yao Race boy died from his injuries, and the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, which had helped him expand the territory for the Fire Tiger clan, was revered as a clan-protecting treasure by the entire Fire Tiger clan…】

【 1000 years later: The "Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame," enshrined by the Fire Tiger clan, mysteriously disappeared…】

… …

The placement ended, and the transformed Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame appeared before Jiang Qing.

Looking at it, the reddish-yellow flames reflected light, an ancient, desolate aura rushed forward, and countless Yao Beasts appeared within the flames, emitting high-pitched roars.

“The process wasn’t what I imagined, but the result is very much as expected.”

Jiang Qing looked at the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame floating before him, his eyes burning with fervor.

In Jiang Qing’s estimation, for the Beast Spirit Flame to advance to a first-tier spirit fire in a thousand years would already be considered good; now, there was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Completing the advancement in 700 years meant the extra 300 years allowed the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame to store a large amount of energy, which, after absorption, would allow Jiang Qing to break through at least two Realms.

“Next is to control the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.”

Jiang Qing took a deep breath, then took out two Spirit Medicines from the side.

One was a Fire Controlling Vine, and the other was a White Jade Lotus. Their effects were to protect Jiang Qing’s Physical Body from fire damage and alleviate pain when he absorbed the flame.

Absorbing natural treasures was an extremely difficult process, especially for a world-class first-tier spirit fire like the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.

Jiang Qing was still only a Mid-Level Martial Artist; to contain and control this Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, he would have to endure extremely intense pain, so Spirit Medicine protection was essential.

“Just a bit of pain!”

Jiang Qing gritted his teeth and swallowed the two Medicinal Pills in one gulp.

Clenching the phoenix blood spirit stone tightly in his left hand, and circulating his Cultivation Technique to absorb the fire-attribute Spiritual Qi within it to protect his entire body, Jiang Qing walked step by step towards the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Jiang Qing extended his hand, protected by Qi and blood, towards the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame. As soon as it touched the flame, the Qi and blood protecting his palm began to sizzle and burn.

Jiang Qing’s face contorted in pain, and he almost cried out.

Gritting his teeth, enduring the pain of the flames scorching his body, Jiang Qing took a step forward, and his entire being was engulfed by the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.

“Ah! Holy crap!!”

The next instant, his agonizing roar could no longer be suppressed.

An indescribable pain swept through his entire body. Jiang Qing was so pained that he immediately fainted, but he was quickly awakened by the burning pain.

Jiang Qingreluctantly gathered his spirit and circulated the Mighty Elephant God Ascending Strength, while simultaneously absorbing Spiritual Qi and a large amount of the Spirit Flame to temper his Physical Body, forcibly resisting the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame that was burning him.

Jiang Qing did not have any special secret Martial Arts to control flames; he could only use this familiar, clumsy method.

It was a tug-of-war with the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame; whoever endured to the end would be the winner.

Either Jiang Qing would be incinerated to ashes, or the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame would be controlled.

“Roar!”

His Physical Body was tempered, and his Qi and blood surged out, forming a savage elephant phantom, suppressing the power of the Spirit Fire to help Jiang Qing control it.

In the pain of the flames burning him, Jiang Qing couldn't even faint. He could only struggle to gather his spirit and circulate the Mighty Elephant God Ascending Strength, engaging in the most primitive confrontation with the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.

Time passed minute by minute, and the large Cultivation room was filled with Jiang Qing’s agonizing roars.

The sounds continued until the morning of the second day.

At this moment, Jiang Qing was sitting cross-legged on the ground, all his clothes burned away. His exposed skin had turned dark brown, and his entire body was covered in a layer of blood scabs, making him appear quite miserable.

His aura at this time was extremely weak, almost indistinguishable from a dead person.

After a minute, the blood scabs on Jiang Qing’s body began to peel off, revealing skin that was even smoother and fairer than before.

As pieces of blood scabs fell off, Jiang Qing stood up, and a strong pressure spread outwards.

“Controlling the Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, my Cultivation has advanced to the seventh stage of the High-Level Martial Artist Realm…”

“My Physical Body strength has increased tremendously. Having undergone Body Tempering by the flames, my affinity for fire-attribute has greatly improved, and when I use fire-attribute Martial Arts again, their power will be doubled!”

Jiang Qing clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

“This time, I’ve gained a lot!”

During the refining process, Jiang Qing deliberately used a large amount of the Spirit Fire’s energy to temper his Physical Body and consolidate his Foundation. The significant increase in Physical Body strength rapidly boosted his combat power.

The Martial Artist Realm is precisely the Realm for building a Foundation; Physical Body strength needs to be improved, and one cannot ascend the Cultivation Realm too quickly.

But even though he focused on improving his Physical Body strength, the remaining energy allowed his Cultivation to break through two levels, reaching the High-Level Martial Artist Realm.

At this moment, Jiang Qing was not far from breaking through to the Martial Master Realm. By then, he would have a basic ability to protect himself.

Moreover, because his Physical Body strength was solidified and firm, he would gain even greater benefits after breaking through to the Martial Master Realm.

Walking to the mirror, Jiang Qing’s appearance had changed greatly. His skin was smoother and fairer, and his facial features were more harmonious, making him look better than before.

“I didn’t expect I’d have a day to become a pretty boy…”

Jiang Qing thought to himself.

Jiang Qing was very satisfied; the improvement in his appearance made him feel that the pain of yesterday night was nothing significant.

After all, being handsome is a lifelong matter.

Jiang Qing carefully felt the changes in himself. Due to the Spirit Fire Body Refining, Jiang Qing’s Physical Body strength skyrocketed, comparable to a ninth-level Martial Artist.

Crack, crack, crack…

Loosening his muscles and bones, Jiang Qing took out all the meat stored in the refrigerator. After cooking it all on the highest heat, he began to feast.

This time, Jiang Qing ate a full six catties of meat before feeling full.

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Qing took out his phone and looked at it.

First were the messages in the class group chat. The homeroom teacher, Chen Hai, sent a message saying that the pep rally would be re-held in a few days, and interested students could re-participate then.

However, Jiang Qing didn’t need to go this time. The reason for the re-holding was to give some people with insufficient resources a chance to turn things around. People like Jiang Qing and others from well-off families didn’t need to attend.

This was exactly what Jiang Qing wanted. He didn't like to show off, and if he went to school now, he would inevitably attract the admiration of most of his classmates.

To shatter a High-Level Martial Artist-level Crow People with a single punch as a Mid-Level Martial Artist was enough to make Jiang Qing’s name resound throughout Jiangcheng.

Looking at the school group chat, as Jiang Qing expected, the topics they discussed, apart from yesterday’s attack, were all about Jiang Qing.

Many people who had never even met him before now began to strive with Jiang Qing as their goal.

He had clearly replaced Yu Shuxuan, becoming the idol and benchmark for all students at Yucai High School.

A moment later, Jiang Qing closed his phone, intending to continue his Cultivation.

“Knock, knock…”

As he walked to the stairs, a knock came from outside the door.

Jiang Qing opened the door to see three people standing outside.

They were all familiar faces; all three were leaders from commercial companies who had been sent to Yucai High School yesterday to sign contracts with students.
