Chapter 526

Under the eyes of everyone, the moment the flame in Lin Chen's palm rose into the air, everyone saw a shocking scene.

Whether it was Jiang Jinwu Yaoyan's Abyss-Devouring Flame, Jiang Chen's Azure Spirit Fire, or Wei Yang's Great Yin Nether Fire, at this moment, the originally soaring flames were instantly cut off at the waist, and the direction of their flickering also turned toward Lin Chen.

It was as if soldiers were submitting to a monarch.

One fire emerged, and several fires bowed their heads.

Jiang Jinwu Yaoyan felt the fear coming from the Abyss-Devouring Flame, and his eyes held a look of disbelief.

The Abyss-Devouring Flame specializes in devouring other Innate Fires and is the nemesis of other Innate Fires. Even the flames of Jiang Chen and Wei Yang earlier hadn't caused the Abyss-Devouring Flame to fluctuate in the slightest, but now he could feel the Abyss-Devouring Flame's fear, just like the performance of the Innate Fires in the hands of the other two contestants the moment he released the Abyss-Devouring Flame.

Bowing low, not wanting to be targeted.

As for those two contestants, their expressions were currently between laughter and tears; their Innate Fires were left with only a wisp of flame, as low as they could possibly be. If they were martial artists, it would be equivalent to a kneeling posture.

The eyes of Jiang Chen and Wei Yang also held looks of wariness; although the flames in their hands didn't transmit fear, their intensity was similarly affected.

Innate Fire has its own spirit; encountering an existence stronger than itself, it will instinctively avoid it.

"What kind of Innate Fire is this?"

Both had looks of bewilderment in their eyes, and the bewilderment wasn't limited to these two, but also included Zhao Zhao Haoyang and the others of the Ten Thousand Fire Sect.

"What kind of Innate Fire is this, that it can actually force the Abyss-Devouring Flame and the Great Yin Nether Fire to avoid it?"

"Ghostly blue with gold, the flame is layered... it looks a bit like some kind of new Child Fire."

"What are you thinking? Master said these contestants couldn't possibly possess Child Fire."

Zhao Zhao Haoyang added, but just as he finished speaking, he was met with a loud slap from Zhuang Lie.

"Idiot, if this isn't Child Fire, then what is it?"

Zhuang Lie glared fiercely at his disciple. Zhao Zhao Haoyang rubbed his head, feeling aggrieved—didn't you, Master, just say a moment ago that these people couldn't possibly possess Child Fire?

"This old man didn't expect this Xiao Yan to actually have Child Fire... to be able to suppress the Abyss-Devouring Flame and the Great Yin Nether Fire, this Child Fire must have fused at least four types of Innate Fire. To be able to refine such Child Fire at the third stage of the Innate Realm—this person's talent for refining Innate Fire is the highest this old man has ever seen in his life."

Zhao Zhao Haoyang was stunned for a moment upon hearing his master's evaluation: "Master, didn't you say before that Lin Lin Shixiong was the one with the highest talent for refining Innate Fire you had ever seen?"

Zhuang Lie took a deep breath, looked at his disciple, and resisted the urge to slap him to death: "That's because this old man hadn't seen this person before then. What I said before wasn't wrong, but Lin Chen isn't far behind..."

"Master, I still think Lin Lin Shixiong's talent is higher."

Zhao Zhao Haoyang was stubborn and interrupted his master: "Lin Lin Shixiong is already at the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm, and in terms of age, Lin Lin Shixiong is at least twenty years younger than this Xiao Yan. By the time Lin Lin Shixiong reaches this age, he will definitely be able to refine four types of Innate Fire."

In Zhao Zhao Haoyang's heart, he had already accepted Lin Chen and was very grateful to him, otherwise, he wouldn't address him as "Lin Lin Shixiong."

Although this Xiao Yan surprised him, he definitely couldn't compare to Lin Lin Shixiong. With Lin Lin Shixiong's cultivation speed, he would step into the fourth stage of the Innate Realm before long, and by then, refining another Innate Fire would certainly not be difficult. By the time Lin Lin Shixiong reached Xiao Yan's age, refining five would likely be possible.

"Lin Chen is also at the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm; this old man had forgotten that."

Zhuang Lie rarely didn't refute his disciple. When he heard about Lin Chen's affair at the Heaven-Reaching Tower yesterday, he was shocked for a long time, and after his disciple's reminder, he thought of something.

Lin Chen is now at the third stage of the Innate Realm, and this Xiao Yan is also at the third stage of the Innate Realm.

Realm doesn't count for much; there are many martial artists at the third stage of the Innate Realm in the Yan Imperial Dynasty.

But to have such astonishing talent for refining Innate Fire is rare, though not impossible.

However, the color of the Child Fire summoned by this Xiao Yan, and the color of the new Child Fire born after Lin Chen refined the Innate Li Fire, the Golden Crow Sun Flame, and the Illusory Sea Heart Flame...

A bold guess suddenly popped into Zhuang Lie's mind. Thinking of this possibility, even with his state of mind, his breathing quickened for an instant.
