On the stage, Li Hu's body trembled uncontrollably under the pressure of the powerful Domain.
"Third Spirit Ability, Fire Lotus Sword."
Lin Jian's eyes flashed with cold light as he unleashed a sharp sword strike.
A massive sword edge, imbued with the intent of the Red Lotus Sword, shot straight towards Li Hu.
Li Hu watched the approaching attack, gnashing his teeth uncontrollably.
He was so far behind this young man that he didn't even have a chance to make a move against him.
With a loud bang on the stage, Lin Jian easily defeated his opponent.
Below the stage, the Lin family members cheered and rejoiced, filled with excitement.
Ning Fengzhi quickly communicated with Sword Douluo through spiritual transmission.
"Uncle Jian, are you willing to take this child as your disciple?"
"We have some misunderstandings with the Lin family now, but if you take this Lin family boy as your disciple, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?"
Sword Douluo's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
He flew down onto the arena and said to Lin Jian, "Young friend, are you willing to take me as your master?"
The entire venue instantly fell silent.
"What? Sword Douluo is going to take on a disciple?"
"Damn it, this kid… this talent, he really seems worthy!"
"Impossible, will School Master agree?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members were incredulous; Sword Douluo was actually going to take an outsider as a disciple?
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sword Douluo, but I only wish to remain in the Lin family."
"I swear to be loyal to the Lin family until death."
Lin Jian refused Sword Douluo's kind offer without the slightest hesitation.
Sword Douluo heard this and his face was full of regret.
"Patriarch Lin, you should consider it carefully. If he is willing to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then our two families will be like our own people."
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who was in the distance, showed an anxious expression on his face and quickly transmitted a message to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was shocked after receiving the message and couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he turned around and told Lin Feng about it.
"Feng'er, what do you think?"
"Father, if Lin Jian is unwilling, then so be it."
After thinking it over, Lin Feng rejected this opportunity to turn hostility into friendship.
Lin Jian had consumed an Immortal Herb and was a genius who mastered sword intent and Domain; how could he be given away so easily?
Lin Ye nodded in agreement, deeply convinced.
"School Master Ning, since Jian'er is unwilling, then as the patriarch, I cannot force him."
"Let's temporarily put aside the matter of joining the Sect."
"How about we proceed with the final match earlier?"
Lin Ye replied to Ning Fengzhi with a smile.
In the distance, Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly, sighing with a downcast expression. He truly couldn't bear to kill these people.
Sword Douluo heard this, and his gaze instantly turned unfriendly.
Since he couldn't recruit such a heaven-defying genius, he absolutely couldn't let him live.
"Uncle Jian, come back first!"
Ning Fengzhi, from a distance, spoke to Chen Xin in a gentle tone.
As Sword Douluo turned, his eyes met Ning Fengzhi's, and he instantly understood his meaning.
This meant they would act after the competition ended.
Once the two were seated.
The war drums sounded again, and Lin Long and his opponent, Wu Feng, slowly walked towards the arena.
Just as the two were about to release their Spirit, suddenly, the entire valley began to shake violently.
"What's going on? An earthquake?"
"I can't stand still."
"Again? I'm peeing, who can help me hold it?"
"Everyone, run!"
Immediately after, the distant volcano erupted.
A gigantic Fire Dragon soared into the sky from the volcano's crater.
Upon seeing this, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Lin family members instantly fell into a panic.
"This is definitely a Spirit Beast over a hundred thousand years old."
"No wonder this place formed the Flame Valley, a place so rich in spirit power; it turns out it's the sleeping place of this terrifying fierce beast."
"Fengzhi, I don't think I can defeat this thing. Run!"
Sword Douluo was incredibly surprised after clearly seeing the Spirit Beast's form.
With that, he dared not delay for a moment, and quickly led Ning Fengzhi in a rapid escape from the Flame Valley.
Ning Fengzhi's calm expression turned to panic, and he shouted, "All Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciples, retreat quickly."
"Lin family disciples, retreat."
"Feng'er, hurry and go."
Behind him, Lin Ye, with a panicked expression, pulled Lin Feng and fled into the distance.
Just as the Lin family members were still shaken, a mysterious voice suddenly echoed in Lin Feng's mind.
"I mean no harm, do not be afraid."
Lin Feng's heart jolted.
Who?
Could it be that dragon?
Lin Feng instinctively looked up at the sky.
He saw the Fire Dragon's hollow eyes staring directly at him.
Perhaps it saw the fear in the crowd below.
The giant Fire Dragon actually retracted its dragon wings and slowly retreated back into the volcano, yet it transmitted a message to Lin Feng: "Human, come to me."
"It really is it!"
"Father, please calm the clan members and tell them not to run anymore. It's safe here."
Lin Feng suppressed the shock in his heart and turned to Lin Ye.
"Lin Feng, are you alright?"
In the distance, Dugu Yan and the others also ran quickly towards Lin Feng, their faces full of worry.
"I'm fine!"
"I just heard the Fire Dragon's summons, telling me to go find him underground where he is."
Lin Feng said to Lin Ye and the others with a serious expression.
"What?"
"This Fire Dragon actually transmitted a message telling you to go find it?"
"Will there be any danger?"
Everyone looked worried upon hearing this.
"I want to go see."
"Perhaps I can find some opportunities there."
Lin Feng explained.
The appearance of the Fire Dragon at this moment made him realize that this should be his opportunity.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as the antagonist, there would naturally be a corresponding powerful figure to help him, the Child of Destiny.
He had originally thought it might be some Spirit Master, but he never expected it to be a dragon.
After some discussion, Lin Ye decided to let the Second Elder calm the clan members.
He himself would go with Lin Feng to the volcano.
"Lin Feng, Uncle, be careful."
Dugu Yan said with a worried expression.
"Mm!"
Lin Feng and Lin Ye hurried their steps.
Following the faint traces left by the Fire Dragon, they delved deeper and finally reached the bottom of the volcano.
Blazing hot waves radiated from the fiery depths, washing over them.
In the dim light, a pungent odor permeated the surroundings.
The sight before them instantly left them rooted to the spot, utterly shocked.
They saw a colossal skeleton lying across the ancient land.
Its body was enormous, and its bones were thick.
Even after enduring the passage of time, it still exuded a chilling, majestic aura.
Beside the skeleton, numerous Fire Dragon Grass grew densely, shimmering with strange and magnificent light.
"Where is that Fire Dragon?"
Lin Feng frowned, his gaze anxiously scanning the surroundings.
Beside him, Lin Ye was filled with doubt and unease; this place was eerie in every aspect.
Just then, the mysterious voice echoed faintly again: "What is before you is me."
As soon as the voice fell.
From within that large patch of Fire Dragon Grass, the illusory image of the Fire Dragon slowly emerged.
The image was somewhat blurry, radiating a faint fiery glow.
Lin Ye was startled: "What is this?"
"I am Huo Yi, a guard under the Fire Dragon King."
"My true body has long since perished, human. I sense my master's aura on you."
The illusory Fire Dragon spoke, its voice carrying a hint of Vicissitudes and melancholy.
Lin Feng's heart jolted, and he instantly understood, quickly asking, "Are you talking about it?"
As soon as he spoke, he unhesitatingly released his Spirit.
In an instant, a dazzling fiery light bloomed, and the majestic image of the Fire Dragon King clearly appeared before Huo Yi.
Huo Yi trembled with excitement at the sight.
Its illusory body became somewhat distorted at this moment, and it shouted loudly, "It truly is Master!"
"I never thought Master would eventually die; now he has become your Spirit."
Immediately after, its voice suddenly dropped, filled with sorrow and loneliness.
"You know my Spirit?"
Lin Feng feigned a confused expression.
"Back then, I followed my master in battles everywhere, fighting in a sea of blood, and after I finally died in battle, I fell into this lower realm."
Huo Yi slowly narrated, its voice carrying the bitterness of memories.
"A long time has passed."
"Unexpectedly, this land actually grew a patch of Fire Dragon Grass, allowing my soul to attach to it and survive until now."
"And today, destiny has been even more benevolent, allowing me to once again sense my master's aura."
Its illusory image flickered slightly, immersed in the past years, unable to extricate itself.
"I never thought it would be like this." Lin Ye's expression was surprised.
"Calm down first, I merely possess the Fire Dragon King's Spirit."
Lin Feng quickly spoke to soothe it.
He felt that the other party was a bit too agitated.
