Chapter 721: The Perplexed Crowd

And just as Mu Gu was fuming, Lin Feng had already arrived in front of the Three Thousand Yan Flame.

Staring at the endless‑looking colossal beast before him, Lin Feng thought silently, "Zi Yan, whether this succeeds this time depends on you."

As he drew nearer to the crouching giant dragon, the dragon's imposing aura that met him grew ever stronger.

Faintly, it even caused Lin Feng to feel a slight discomfort.

Noticing this change, Lin Feng immediately furrowed his brows, grateful again that Zi Yan that girl had given him a dragon seal.

However, when he thought of that girl after obtaining the pill, her grin so wide it couldn't close made him shake his head.

Then, under the heated gazes of the crowd, he walked up to the massive head of the giant dragon.

From a distance, compared with the massive body of the Three Thousand Yan Flame,

his tiny frame was probably no larger than a single dragon scale on the latter's body, almost negligible.

Only when he made close contact with the Three Thousand Yan Flame did Lin Feng truly feel the shock that this huge creature imparted.

At the same time, although the Three Thousand Yan Flame now had its dragon eyes tightly shut, standing before this massive dragon head gave Lin Feng a strange feeling.

As if the beast before him were gazing at him with an icy stare.

"This ninth‑ranked anomalous fire truly can't compare to the anomalous fires I've dealt with before; I really have no idea how mighty that golden anomalous fire from the Battle Saint's relic that Senior Dan Yi Tian discovered is."

His gaze fixed on the colossal beast before him, Lin Feng felt a moment of sentiment.

Yet at that moment, the voice of the Hill Elder rang out from behind.

"Lin Feng, place your palm on the forehead of the Three Thousand Yan Flame; there is an exposed dragon scale there. If you infuse it with your soul power, and if you're lucky, you might be able to subdue it."

Hearing the Hill Elder's voice behind him, Lin Feng immediately stepped forward and located the dragon scale that was as tall as a person.

For some reason, this dragon scale was not wrapped in the violet‑black flames like the rest of its body; instead it lay bare, exposed to the air.

However, when Lin Feng's eyes swept over the scale, he suddenly noticed that it was covered with countless black lines like spider silk.

These black lines intertwined, forming energy runes that looked extremely strange.

And these runes clung tightly to the scale, like an enormous black net that completely enveloped the Three Thousand Yan Flame.

"Is this the seal that binds the Three Thousand Yan Flame?"

Seeing these black‑line runes, Lin Feng's heart stirred; he slightly lifted his head and quickly glanced at the other dragon scales.

Sure enough, the other scales were also covered with the same black‑line runes.

This scene made Lin Feng realize that these runes must be the seal imposed by the Dan Tower elite.

"Heh, but with this seal, my movements become much easier."

Feeling the seal's formidable power, Lin Feng glanced at the mark on his palm and felt a secret joy.

Immediately, without lingering, he used his body as a shield and covertly took out the jade bottle containing dragon blood.

Because he knew that Mu Gu would soon summon Soul Hall elites from behind.

Therefore, he decided to quickly pack the Three Thousand Yan Flame into his bag to avoid any mishap.

After all, this ninth‑ranked anomalous fire could greatly boost his battle Qi strength and the benefits from the Burning Manual.

So he didn't want to risk a futile bamboo‑basket water‑fetching, letting the Soul Hall approach the Three Thousand Yan Flame.

If the Soul Hall succeeded, he wouldn't even have time to cry.

Moreover, he now had a way to deal with this beast; striking while it was sealed was too tempting to pass up.

Next, he used his finger to pull out the stopper and retrieved the seal ring.

Then he grasped the bottle's mouth and poured the dragon blood onto his hand.

As for the jade bottle, he placed it back inside the seal ring.

Having done that, he took a step forward toward the colossal beast right before his eyes.

【9】 While Lin Feng acted, Xiao Yan and the others behind him, including the Hill Elder, were left bewildered.

And while Lin Feng moved, those behind him—including Xiao Yan and the Hill Great Elder—were utterly clueless.

After all, the entire Battle Qi Continent knows that a person can only house one anomalous fire.

But Lin Feng, why would he undertake such a futile effort?

"Could it be that he wants to forcibly capture the Three Thousand Yan Flame and give it to one of those two women?"

Glancing briefly at Cao Ying and Dan Chen, the two women nearby, Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Beyond this possibility, he couldn't think of any other outcome.

After all, the other party lacks the Burning Manual and such strange arts; even with Battle Sovereign‑level strength, they could only subdue one anomalous fire.

Yet, thinking that the former only possessed a one‑star Battle Sovereign level, Xiao Yan felt a surge of secret joy.

"Lin Feng, that bastard already has an anomalous fire inside him. Relying solely on a one‑star Battle Sovereign strength, even if he possesses a Heaven‑tier battle technique, he couldn't forcibly capture the Three Thousand Yan Flame that even Xuan Lao and the others find somewhat helpless. Later, after draining some of the Three Thousand Yan Flame's energy, that bastard would be unable to do anything else."

Xiao Yan shook his head and continued watching the situation ahead.

The Hill Elder, upon seeing Lin Feng's actions, also shook his head helplessly.

Obviously, he thought the same as Xiao Yan.

As for Cao Ying, her dark brows furrowed, and she felt a hint of suspicion.

From the time she spent with Lin Feng, it was clear he wasn't the type to act recklessly.

Yet Lin Feng's earlier overconfident demeanor puzzled her; despite having the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, why did he show that expression?

Then, a somewhat incredulous thought arose in her mind: "Could it be that this guy can absorb multiple anomalous fires?"

But she then shook her head, discarding that wild notion.

After all, such a violent anomalous fire would devour its kind when meeting another; how could multiple anomalous fires peacefully coexist inside one person?

At the same time, Dan Chen, standing beside the former, also raised a puzzled chin toward the distant Lin Feng, her eyes full of incomprehension.

"Heh, that little bastard even dared to provoke that white‑clothed woman to strike at me before; later I'll see how you get off the stage!"

However, unlike the bewildered two women ahead, Mu Gu wore an expectant face, waiting for the drama to unfold.

After all, aside from the Burning Manual, he had never seen any other technique that could allow multiple anomalous fires to coexist inside a body.

He just wouldn't believe that the kid could have cultivated the Burning Technique!
