Chapter 484 Hug left and right

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's declaration that the legendary Three Thousand Flames had sincerely submitted to his command, everyone present couldn't help but change color slightly, with more or less surprise revealed on their faces.

Although Xiao Ling is extremely talented, his strength and potential are indeed outstanding among everyone and no one can match him, but everyone has heard a little about the Three Thousand Flames and knows that it is unruly and difficult to control.

Even the three giants of Danta, those powerful men standing at the pinnacle of strength, were helpless and failed to make any substantial progress.

Furthermore, Xiao Ling has already successfully brought one strange fire under his command, which in the eyes of everyone is already the limit. Almost no one believes that he can subdue another strange fire.

Therefore, deep in their subconscious, they generally believed that if Xiao Ling wanted to tame the legendary Three Thousand Flames again, the difficulty would be unimaginable, almost a fantasy.

However, before anyone could speak again, the giant purple flame dragon that had been lying quietly like a sleeping being suddenly opened its deep eyes, shining like two bright stars in the night sky.

What followed was a burning breath, which spread instantly like a warning before a volcanic eruption.

Immediately afterwards, a mighty dragon power surged out from the body of the giant dragon, as if a long-sleeping peerless ferocious beast suddenly awakened. Its majesty was sharp and inviolable, shocking the hearts of everyone present.

"Not good! The Three Thousand Flames have awakened spontaneously!" Xiang Jinsong saw this scene and ignored other trivial matters. He shouted anxiously, "Xiao Ling is in danger and must evacuate that place immediately."

When Danchen and Cao Ying saw this, their faces suddenly changed, and their brows were filled with worry.

However, this sudden pressure was like a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon, coming swiftly and going away just as quickly.

Before everyone had time to figure out what this sudden change meant, they discovered that the awakened Three Thousand Flames did not show any intention of attacking.

It just quietly floated in the air, its huge body hovering slightly, without any other movements.

Those dragon eyes were calm and indifferent, yet with a kind of detached indifference, quietly staring at the group of people below.

There was not the slightest hostility or contempt in its eyes, as if the world and all living beings in its eyes were not worthy of its attention.

This silent indifference made everyone feel an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if they were nothing more than a tiny speck of dust in the eyes of the Three Thousand Flames.

"Don't worry, everyone. There's no need to worry." A relaxed laugh broke the tense atmosphere, instantly bringing those who were slightly dazed back to their senses.

Their eyes all turned to the source of the sound, and they saw Xiao Ling, who was floating leisurely beside the purple dragon transformed from the Three Thousand Flames with a faint smile on his face.

His palms gently stroked the large, shimmering scales on the dragon's body, his movements easy and natural.

"Haven't I already said it before? The Three Thousand Flames have already recognized me and will follow me from now on. With my orders, it will not take the initiative to attack you..."

Everyone's eyes followed Xiao Ling's movements closely. They saw him gently stroking the body of the purple dragon. Instead of showing any displeasure, the dragon seemed to enjoy the closeness.

This scene was undoubtedly the most direct proof of Xiao Ling's previous words. The tension and doubts in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated, and they began to believe that Xiao Ling had indeed won the loyalty of the Three Thousand Flames.

As this thought became more and more firm, everyone took a deep breath at the same time, and the huge rock in their hearts finally fell to the ground. After this relief, everyone's heart was more or less filled with envy.

After all, since they have stepped into this star space, they naturally have certain intentions and expectations about the legendary Three Thousand Flames.

However, unexpectedly, they had just entered this space not long ago and had only taken a quick glance at the Three Thousand Flames.

Xiao Ling succeeded easily with just a slight attempt, which made them feel a little disappointed, as if they had not even had the slightest chance to participate.

Now that the Three Thousand Flames have surrendered to Xiao Ling, even if they are unwilling, they understand that they have no chance to try to subdue this legendary fire again.

Especially the old man Qinghua, his face was full of decadence and loss at this moment.

Over the years, he had worked tirelessly to subdue a strange fire that belonged to him alone, and he even lowered himself and put aside his pride, just to participate in this grand alchemy meeting, hoping to get the Three Thousand Flames.

However, reality is always so cruel that it makes people helpless. He now clearly realizes that his chance has completely disappeared. This time, just like countless previous attempts, he ultimately returned empty-handed.

Perhaps he shouldn't have had such extravagant hopes from the beginning. This strange fire was not his destined destination after all.

"Tsk tsk, he is indeed the protagonist favored by destiny. For him, taming this strange fire is just a piece of cake. Those strange fires that other people are helpless with all bow down to him under the protagonist's halo. All of this fits the development of the plot so well."

Among the crowd, Xiao Yan remained calm the whole time. After all, he had already prepared for this outcome.

"It seems that I have to hold on to my cousin's big leg in the future. Relying on his protection and following the protagonist, my future achievements will definitely be limitless..."

"Brother Xiao Ling, haven't you already successfully tamed a strange fire? Then will there really be no problem taming the Three Thousand Flames now?" Dan Chen's eyes revealed a trace of worry. She looked at Xiao Ling and asked with concern in her tone.

As Dan Chen's voice fell, everyone came back to their senses from their thoughts and once again cast doubtful eyes at Xiao Ling.

After all, in the Douqi Continent, it is considered common sense that different fires cannot be subdued at the same time.

Since Xiao Ling already possesses a strange fire, how can he bring another strange fire under his command?

"You don't have to worry too much about this," Xiao Ling faced the various doubtful looks from the crowd and just smiled lightly, explaining lightly, "I have practiced a unique secret method that allows me to subdue multiple types of strange fire at the same time. Therefore, these Three Thousand Flames can naturally be subdued by me."

Xiao Ling had no intention of concealing his ability to absorb multiple types of strange fire at the same time.

After all, once the alchemy meeting was over, he would definitely subdue the Three Thousand Flames.

At that time, if someone wanted to explore or investigate, Xiao Ling also understood that this secret would be difficult to keep no matter what.

Therefore, his attitude towards this matter seemed quite calm, neither ostentatious nor concealing it.

After all, Elder Mu Gu had died at the hands of Xiao Ling, and on the Dou Qi Continent, apart from him and Yao Chen, no one else knew the true origin of the Burning Art and its deep connection with the Dou Emperor. Therefore, Xiao Ling was confident that this matter would not pose too much of a threat to him.

Although the secret method of being able to subdue multiple kinds of strange fire at the same time does sound extraordinary, strange fire is rare to see, let alone collecting multiple kinds. For most people, such a secret method does not actually play a big role, so naturally it will not attract too many people's covetousness.

Even if there are people who are really curious about this method of subduing multiple kinds of strange fire at the same time, they have to consider whether they have enough strength to seize such a secret method from Xiao Ling.

When everyone learned that Xiao Ling could subdue multiple kinds of strange fire at the same time, they all showed surprise. But seeing that Xiao Ling seemed unwilling to talk about it in detail, they were quite tactful and did not continue to inquire about the matter.

"So, Xiao Ling, do you mean to plan to stay in this star field alone and refine the Three Thousand Flames by yourself?" Xiang Jinsong did not ask any other questions. He looked at Xiao Ling with a smile in his eyes and asked calmly.

Xiao Ling's ability to subdue the Three Thousand Flames undoubtedly eliminated a potential threat to Danta. As a member of Danta, he was naturally pleased with this result and was happy to see it happen.

"That's true, Elder Xiang." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, turned his gaze to the elder, and said in a calm and firm tone, "After that, I plan to refine the Three Thousand Flames in this star field. But during this period, I hope that no one will disturb me, so that I can devote myself to the process of absorbing the Three Thousand Flames in seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xiang immediately understood that Xiao Ling intended to drive them away. He did not continue to ask questions, but just nodded slightly to show his understanding.

"Since the Three Thousand Flames have chosen you, you naturally have your own plans and intentions."

Before leaving, Elder Xiang said in a calm tone, "

We will leave this star region immediately to ensure that your retreat is not disturbed. If you encounter any emergency during the refining process, remember to use the space stone that President Xuankong gave you before. He will receive your call as soon as possible and come to provide assistance. "

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder. If you need anything, I will definitely not be polite." Xiao Ling said with a chuckle.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Jinsong said no more, just nodded slightly, then waved to the others, signaling them to leave with him. Then, he took the lead and turned into a stream of light, floating towards the edge of the star field.

Seeing this, the others did not hesitate at all. One by one, they flew up lightly and followed Xiang Jinsong's figure away.

Xiao Yan also waved to Xiao Ling as a farewell gesture, and he did not stay here for long. His figure immediately rose into the air, following the trajectory of the team, and disappeared into the depths of the star field. "Xiao Ling, you must be careful and cautious. When absorbing the strange fire, don't force yourself." Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Cao Ying suddenly flashed and appeared beside Xiao Ling. Her eyes showed deep reluctance, and she stared at Xiao Ling closely, her tone full of deep concern.

"Brother Xiao Ling, Chen'er will be waiting for your safe return in Shengdan City. You must be careful and don't be impatient for success." Dan Chen also came with a gust of fragrant wind, his tone full of worry, and reminded softly.

"Don't worry, everything will go well." Xiao Ling's eyes swept across the worried faces of the two women. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone revealed unquestionable confidence, "Refining these three thousand flames will not take too much time for me."

He paused for a moment, a gentle light flashed across his eyes, and then he said: "You just need to wait patiently in Shengdan City. Soon, I will be able to successfully complete this training. By then, I will prepare a special gift for you, which will definitely make you very satisfied."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling did not give the two women time to react. He waved his arm lightly, and a warm fighting spirit surged out. In a flash, he embraced their unique and charming figures in his arms.

Realizing this sudden intimacy, Cao Ying and Dan Chen couldn't help but blush. If Xiao Ling was only close to one of them, they would naturally be able to accept it.

But now, Xiao Ling actually hugged them both at the same time. This move was really beyond their expectations.

The two women couldn't help but temporarily suppress their curiosity about the gift Xiao Ling prepared. They struggled slightly but did not really use any force.

Xiao Ling did not give them a chance to break free. He held the two girls' slender waists tightly with his hands, and gently kissed Cao Ying and Dan Chen on the forehead respectively. Then he laughed softly and said, "Haha, you two girls, don't be so shy anymore. From now on, you are all mine."

After such a fight, the two girls no longer struggled. Finally, they looked at each other and snuggled in Xiao Ling's arms in tacit understanding.

"I knew you were a bad guy and you had feelings for Chen'er. She's so young, not even 18 years old. How could you have the heart to do that to her..."

As Cao Ying spoke, she gently tapped Xiao Ling's chest with her pink fist, her tone containing a hint of coquettishness and a hint of complaint.

Danchen's cheeks became more and more red, and she could only shyly bury her pretty face deeply in Xiao Ling's arms, not daring to raise her head.

At this moment, her heart was already in a mess, and it seemed as if hot steam would rise from her head at any time. Such a shy look really made people feel pity for her.

"Haha, who told you two girls to provoke me? In that case, I will naturally accept everything. In short, don't even think about escaping in this life." Xiao Ling smiled softly, his tone full of unreasonableness.

The two women were unable to refute Xiao Ling's words. Tracing back to the source, it was because they had developed a liking for Xiao Ling first that led to the current situation.

Although this is somewhat different from their initial expectations, judging from the current situation, at least the goal has been achieved to some extent.

"Okay, you should leave this star field first. If Elder Xiang and the others see that you are not coming back for a long time, they will definitely be worried." Xiao Ling gently stroked the hair of the two women and said with a smile, his tone revealing a sense of relaxation and care.

As Xiao Ling finished speaking, the two women slowly pulled themselves out of his embrace. Their eyes showed reluctance, but at the same time they also knew that it was not appropriate to stay too long at this moment.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, or perhaps it was a coincidence, but at the moment they were about to leave, the two women unexpectedly and simultaneously gave Xiao Ling a light kiss on both sides of his cheek.

Then, perhaps out of inner shyness, Cao Ying and Dan Chen did not say a word to Xiao Ling, not even a simple goodbye. Their bodies suddenly turned into two bright rays of light, like shooting stars across the night sky, and quickly flew towards the edge of the star field.

Xiao Ling stared at the two people's departing figures, stretched out his hands and gently touched both sides of his cheeks, as if he could still feel the warmth and fragrance.

Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Ling's lips. His gaze slowly shifted away and turned to the three thousand flames swirling behind him.

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and he said softly, "Okay, no one else will disturb us, so it's time to get down to business..."

The Three Thousand Flames slowly lowered its huge dragon head, and its dragon eyes, which were as big as Xiao Ling's body, stared at Xiao Ling quietly, as if they could see into the depths of his soul.
"Human, I have decided to follow in your footsteps. I hope this is the right choice."

"Don't worry, Three Thousand Flames. I will never let you down. From now on, I will make sure you realize that choosing me is your wisest choice."

Xiao Ling faced the pair of deep dragon eyes calmly without any retreat. His voice was firm and confident.
"Under my control, the reputation of the Three Thousand Flames will surely shine more brightly and become more resounding on this Dou Qi Continent."

After receiving Xiao Ling's firm answer, Three Thousand Flames did not say anything else. The pair of majestic dragon eyes slowly closed, as if it had made a crucial decision.

Then, the huge body of the purple dragon formed by flames began to spread out slowly in all directions, like an irresistible and powerful force slowly spreading.

The fiery breath of the flames was like a surging wave, rolling towards every corner of this star field, and the air was filled with intense scorching waves.

The star space, which was originally silent and full of emptiness, was suddenly lit up by bright light at this moment.

The body of the purple dragon was like an extremely bright and dazzling star. Every time it stretched out, countless sparkling stars bloomed.

In an instant, the sky was filled with dazzling stars, shining brightly, as if daylight had suddenly arrived.

Xiao Ling stared at the strange scene in front of him, and for a moment he was slightly distracted, with a look of amazement on his face. He murmured to himself, "Is this the power of the Three Thousand Flames? The fire of the stars is truly extraordinary."

At the same time, in the vast sea of ​​fire formed by the purple dragon's body, a petite and slender purple dragon shadow emerged lightly from it. It twisted its body and leaped towards Xiao Ling like a wisp of purple smoke.

Xiao Ling saw this scene and slowly raised his hands, and the purple dragon fell into his palm obediently. He stared at the flame in his hand, which represented the origin of the Three Thousand Flames of the Great Void, and took a deep breath to calm down the various thoughts in his mind.

Then, he raised his hands lightly, opened his mouth, and with a breath, the purple dragon turned into a beam of fire and was sucked into his body.

The origin of the Taixu Three Thousand Flames merged into his body, and a feeling of heat quietly spread in Xiao Ling's blood like a tide.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling immediately sat cross-legged and concentrated his mind. At this moment, the purple-black flames on his body surface were like tiny fountains, shooting out from every pore, forming a spectacular flame totem.

Having successfully obtained the origin fire of the Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Ling's next task is to refine it thoroughly and merge it with the original strange fire in his body.

He only needs to use the Burning Art technique and carefully refine the flame energy to improve his cultivation level and further elevate the grade of the Burning Art.

Although because the Three Thousand Flames were relatively cooperative, no other problems occurred when Xiao Ling just started to refine the Three Thousand Flames.

However, just as the Three Thousand Flames realized that its origin was gradually being refined by Xiao Ling, it immediately resisted and tried to resist.

This was obviously contrary to its original expectations. After all, once it lost its own power, its previous threats to Xiao Ling would become castles in the air and become a laughing stock.

However, Xiao Ling would naturally not give the Three Thousand Flames any chance to resist. Since the origin of the Three Thousand Flames had already entered his body, it could only submit to the fate of being refined.

Xiao Ling also didn't want to waste any more time on taming the Three Thousand Flames. At this moment, he did not hesitate to use the power of the ancestral stone in his body to suppress the resistance of the Three Thousand Flames. At the same time, he used all his strength to activate the Burning Art to thoroughly refine it.

Although Xiao Ling's actions may seem a bit selfish in the eyes of outsiders, if a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If he does not think about himself, how can he gain a foothold in this world where the strong prey on the weak?

Since this matter will be of great benefit to Xiao Ling and can save him a lot of trouble, he will naturally do it without hesitation.

Moreover, Xiao Ling had no intention of erasing the intelligence of the Three Thousand Flames. He already had a plan in mind. When the time was right, he would lead the Three Thousand Flames to Ancient Dragon Island to fulfill its long-cherished wish, which could be regarded as the fulfillment of its previous promise.

Of course, under such fierce resistance from the Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Ling's process of refining it did seem a little slower.

However, thanks to the powerful suppression of the ancestral stone and the efficient refining of the Burning Technique, the speed of this process did not decrease significantly.

Although the Three Thousand Flames ranked high on the Strange Fire List, among the top ten, Xiao Ling's strength at this moment was also extraordinary, and the grade of the Burning Art had reached the Heavenly Rank.

Therefore, it would not take too much time for him to completely refine and subdue the origin fire of the Three Thousand Flames.

The purple sea of ​​starlight floating in the star field space slowly burned around Xiao Ling, protecting him in the center.

And this originally empty space, under Xiao Ling's refining, returned to a state of silence, with only the subtle sound of the flames continuing to burn, waiting for the storm to rise soon... (End of this chapter)
