289. Chapter 289: Since You Are a Heaven-Proud, You Should Be Arrogant!

Although Yan Jin has his own set of methods when it comes to fire control skills, Gu Fei now possesses the advantage of his cultivation method, as well as the condensed Fire Spirit.

He actually has much more of an advantage than Yan Jin!

Moreover, his room for growth is definitely greater than those old seniors! At this moment, a gleam of excitement flickered in Gu Yuan's eyes as he looked around at the scene of devastation, a smile appearing on his face.

For a radius of over ten miles, it was a scene of utter ruin.

It would likely take a long time to restore the vitality here, but Gu Yuan did not care.

In fact, the more severe the destruction here, the happier he was; after all, the greater the destructive power, the stronger Gu Fei's combat strength.

"Haha!"

"Wait for the day I call those two fellows, Yan Jin and Lei Ying, to the Ancient Clan for a gathering... and let them see for themselves just how peerless the heaven-proud descendant of my Ancient Clan is!"

Gu Yuan laughed aloud, turned his head to look at Gu Fei, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation.

This is no wonder. Gu Yuan has pinned all his hopes for the clan's great prosperity on Gu Fei.

That sense of confidence and pride was written all over his face, as if he had seen the bright future of the Ancient Clan rising once again.

And with the Ancient Clan possessing such a heaven-sent talent like Gu Fei, how could they not show off a little? Gu Yuan was likely already unable to wait at this moment.

"That old fellow Lei Ying might even disregard his dignity to find you for a spar!"

Gu Yuan continued, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

Hehe, the corners of Gu Fei's mouth lifted slightly.

Lei Ying, eh... The Clan Leader thinks highly of me.

This person, Lei Ying, has had his cultivation stagnant at the Eight-Star Dou Saint level for many years; at the Eight-Star Dou Saint stage, basically no one dares to say they can absolutely defeat Lei Ying.

He and Yan Jin, when joining forces, can even hold back the Void Swallowing Flame, who has the strength of a Nine-Star Dou Saint.

"The Clan Leader's words are well-founded. That Lei Ying has always been combative and has a very impatient temperament. Although Gu Fei is a junior, his current strength is already enough to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the older generation of powerhouses. That fellow Lei Ying will, nine times out of ten, be unable to restrain himself and insist on having a match."

Gu Lie nodded repeatedly in agreement upon hearing this.

When Gu Lie said this, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

Clearly, in his heart, the current Gu Fei is no longer that descendant who needs protection, but a powerhouse who can be mentioned in the same breath as the Clan Leaders of the Yan Clan and Lei Clan.

"Clan Leader, Grandfather, aren't you two afraid that I'll become arrogant by praising me like this?"

Gu Fei could not help but feel a bit flattered upon hearing such praise from the two elders.

He cupped his hands humbly, his tone carrying a hint of banter.

"Heaven-proud, heaven-proud... if you aren't arrogant, if you aren't wild, how can that be!"

Gu Yuan laughed heartily upon hearing this and waved his hand.

As his voice fell, his gaze was filled with gratification.

The current Gu Fei has finally grown up.

Unless he encounters a surprise attack from a top-tier powerhouse like himself, it is likely difficult to encounter any fatal danger while walking the continent.

This sense of assurance made Gu Yuan feel completely at ease.

However, although it was just banter.

Gu Fei really did want to try it out with that Lei Ying. As long as one's goal is to be the strongest on this continent, how could one not have the desire to challenge the strong!!!

Who doesn't know that these two late-stage Eight-Star Dou Saint experts, Yan Jin and Lei Ying, are almost unrivaled in their respective fields?

That Lei Ying's control over lightning is just like Yan Jin's control over fire!

Everyone knows that people of the Lei Clan are inherently skilled at controlling the power of lightning and often use lightning to temper their own bodies.

And as the Lei Clan's number one expert, in terms of controlling the power of lightning, if he were to call himself second on the Dou Qi Continent today.

Absolutely no one would dare to call themselves first!!!

The three chatted for a while longer, and Gu Yuan gradually learned that this Battle Technique of Gu Fei's still had great room for improvement. This was an even more terrifying existence... which is to say, Gu Fei's heaven-destroying Battle Technique from just now could actually be improved! As long as more Exotic Fires could be fused, its power would increase geometrically.

Even if it wasn't a breakthrough in realm, one could keep getting stronger just by collecting Exotic Fires? However, these Exotic Fires aren't easily found either. "Hmm, so that's how it is. It seems it is time to let the clansmen go and collect some Exotic Fires!"

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, and he immediately made the decision.

As soon as Gu Yuan's voice fell, his entire aura changed abruptly.

That pressure instantly spread out, causing the surrounding air to stagnate.

Clearly, Gu Yuan could not wait any longer. "Although the number of Exotic Fires in the world is scarce, except for the few at the top of the Exotic Flame Ranking, other Exotic Fires are not unique."

"Relying on the vast strength of my Ancient Clan, if we truly want to search for Exotic Fires, I am afraid there will be results before long."

Gu Yuan said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a confident light.

"Many thanks, Clan Leader!"

Gu Fei was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks.

If he could fuse a few more Exotic Fires, his cultivation method would surely become more perfect, and the power of the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus would rise to another level.

This decision by Gu Yuan was undoubtedly a massive help to Gu Fei.

If he didn't use the power of the Ancient Clan, collecting Exotic Fires by himself would not be as easy as one might imagine.

Just as the Ancient Clan side was busy, the depths of the Soul Realm were a different scene. In the dark and profound hinterland of the Soul Realm, a towering palace stood.

The palace was pitch black, as if it could swallow all light.

At this moment, in the main hall of that palace, a tall figure was standing in the center.

One could see that the figure was entirely shrouded in black armor, and their face could not be seen clearly.

But that heart-palpitating pressure was truly permeating the entire hall.

"Damn Ancient Clan junior, to actually break through to a Seven-Star Dou Saint in such a short time!"

The next moment, the figure's low voice was filled with anger and unwillingness.

Once these words were spoken, the temperature of the entire hall plummeted, and a cold, chilling aura permeated, as if it were about to freeze all vitality.

Just at this moment, a figure walked quickly in from outside the hall.

The person who arrived was none other than Hun Xuzi, who had "stolen the show" earlier at the Medicine Ceremony.

"Elder Wuwu, this is all my fault. If I hadn't made a wedding dress for Gu Fei, he would never have been able to refine the Nine-Rank Profound Pill."

Hun Xuzi was seen arriving at the center of the great hall, kneeling respectfully before that black-robed figure.

When Hun Xuzi said this, his face was full of regret, and he was right!

This time, he had truly lost all face for the Soul Clan; the Embryonic Pill he had refined with such painstaking effort had ended up as a wedding dress for someone else.

"Hmph!"

"What excuses are you looking for? It is nothing more than that you are too weak!"

"Everything in this world is determined by strength!"

"You actually still haven't reflected on yourself, and are still looking for excuses for your own weakness?"

That black-robed figure let out a cold snort, their voice filled with disdain.

Hearing this, Hun Xuzi trembled all over, his complexion turning even paler.

"Elder Wuwu is right to reprimand me..."

He lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of that figure, and could only explain cautiously.
