Chapter 263: Divine Fire Protection
"Dad, what should we do in the future?"
The tall and thin man asked.
"Our Xiao family has offended too many aristocratic families. Once we lose our position in the Supervisory Office, we will surely be liquidated by many enemies."
Xiao Wancheng's face was gloomy.
"So this supervisory office must not be lost."
"But now the new guy has taken over the position of Attorney General, and we dare not offend the Wang Quan family."
The tall and thin man said,
"If that guy gets addicted and doesn't want to step down, there's nothing we can do about it."
"After all, he is from the Wang Quan family."
"Although the man from the Wang Quan family is temporarily taking over the position of Attorney General, he will definitely not be able to hold the position for long."
Xiao Wancheng said calmly,
"The position of Attorney General may seem glamorous, but in fact, it is a job that offends people in the Dao League."
"Not only is he restricted by the leader of the Dao League, but he is also secretly hated by the major families."
"The Wang Quan family, who value their reputation, will not do such dirty things for a long time. Sooner or later, they will need me, the black glove, to cover them up."
"Although the situation is tense now, we just need to proceed steadily and follow orders. After gaining the trust of the Wang Quan family, the position of Attorney General will still be ours."
After hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized.
Xiao Wancheng let out a long sigh. Having been a black glove for such a long time, he thought that the Xiao family had already established a certain position in the Wang Quan family and was qualified to be an ally.
But now it seems that there is still a big gap.
A dog is a dog, and once it is tied to a chain, it is difficult to get rid of it in this life.
He didn't see the situation clearly!
After the incident with the Yang family, Xiao Wancheng came to his senses and gradually realized the mistakes he had made.
If you depend on others, you will be controlled by them and have no ability to bargain.
For example, in the matter of the Yang family, he was clearly working for the Wang Quan family, but in the end he had to bear all the consequences.
After all, the Xiao family is not strong enough and can only take shortcuts to occupy a high position.
To get out of this situation, a strong person is needed.
For a place like Shenhuoshan Villa, even if there is only Dongfang Guyue, the Wang Quan family dare not underestimate it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wancheng turned his attention to his two sons.
He himself is not capable of doing it, but he can try to train the next generation.
"Tianyuan, the Dao Alliance Newcomer Martial Arts Competition, which is held every five years, is about to be held!"
"Yes, in a month."
The fat man replied.
"This time, you should take our soul-calling whip with you. Bring back the first place."
Xiao Wancheng ordered.
Soul-calling whip?
The fat man was overjoyed, because that was the family's inherited magic weapon and also the family's strongest fighting force.
After hundreds of years of nurturing by the Xiao family, even he can now unleash the combat power of the Little Demon King as long as he takes control.
With the Soul-Calling Whip, wouldn’t it be easy for a mere newcomer to win the first place in the competition?
Dad is trying to make him famous!
"The child takes orders."
He responded quickly.
I was afraid that if I agreed too late, such a good thing would never happen again.
Xiao Wancheng lowered his eyes.
“I hope Tianyuan will live up to my expectations and achieve great things in the future!”
His cloudy eyes scanned his three sons, finally setting his gaze on a boy of eight or nine years old.
"Otherwise, we can only place our hopes on Tianhao.
. . . . . .
Shenhuoshan Villa, martial arts training ground.
"Unlike the Divine Fire Sword Technique's method of simulating sword energy, the Eastern Clan's method of controlling fire focuses on transformation and strengthening."
Standing in front of Jin Renfeng, Dongfang Gu Yue talked about the key to controlling fire.
He raised his palm, and the flames in his palm swirled.
Sword, knife, bell, tripod——
The huge flame was like a piece of dough, constantly changing into various shapes.
"Of the two, the more simple and easy to understand is this method of transformation. It focuses on using fire to transform into various physical objects for attack and defense."
"...Among the many transformations, swords are the most practical choice. Swords are sharp and strong, and are very common. They are also easier to transform into..."
"...The Divine Fire Sword Technique and this Transformation Technique follow the same path, except that the Divine Fire Sword Technique imitates sword energy, while this Transformation Technique transforms all things..."
"...In terms of flexibility, the Divine Fire Sword Technique is not as good as this shapeshifting technique, but in terms of the efficiency of using flames, the Divine Fire Sword Technique is even better..."
"Renfeng, since you are just starting to learn this method of transformation, you can start with simpler objects, such as a hammer."
"like this?"
Jin Renfeng raised his hand, and a ball of fire formed in his palm, slowly turning into a short hammer.
The handle of the hammer is engraved with exquisite patterns, and the end converges to form a faint shape of a beast's head.
The hammer is so solid that it looks like the real thing.
Dongfang Gu Yue looked at the hammer in the boy's hand and was silent for a moment.
Even though he had experienced countless things, he had never seen such an outrageous operation.
He asked him to start with the hammer, originally intending to have him practice step by step from simple transformations.
After all, a general hammer is only composed of a square hammer head and a cylindrical hammer handle, which is thick and heavy. Unlike a sword, it does not require the shaping of a blade or a sword tip, so it is extremely simple to change.
But he didn't expect that this kid would give him a very difficult challenge right from the start.
What kind of teaching is this?
People have already started carving. Swords and the like are not difficult at all!
"Master, how about my hammer?"
Seeing that the master did not answer, Jin Renfeng asked.
"It's getting a good shape, but it's a bit of a waste of time."
Dongfang Guyue coughed twice and pretended to be calm.
"Sacrificing the good and chasing the bad?"
Jin Renfeng was a little confused, as he was just following his master's instructions.
"Renfeng, the hammer you transformed looks exquisite and beautiful, but some parts of it are gaudy and superficial."
Dongfang Guyue pointed at the pattern on the hammer and said,
"Look at these patterns. Putting them on the hammer doesn't have any power at all."
"It takes a lot of energy to create it. If that's the case, why do you want to show it?"
There was a look of realization in the golden man's eyes.
"Master said before that this method of transformation should be closer to the real object, so I exerted force in this direction, but I didn't expect that I exerted too much force."
He waved his hand, dissolving the flames in his hand.
"Pure Yang Yan, beneficial to emptiness and practical, emphasizing intention rather than spirit."
"For this method of controlling fire and transforming into a human form, the appearance is not important. What is important is the improvement in combat power."
"For cultivators like us, practicality is everything. Remember not to waste mana on the appearance of spells and forget about the core combat power."
Dongfang Guyue warned.
"But seeing that you can condense this hammer, I think you must have mastered the method of transformation. In this case, I can put this method aside for you to comprehend in the future."
"I will teach you the method of strengthening first."
"Is this the end?"
Jin Renfeng was surprised.
"This transformation ended too suddenly."
To be honest, he felt that this shapeshifting spell was too simple, so much so that he felt like it was over just as it began.
In fact, Dongfang Guyue was secretly complaining. This method of transformation, after all, was just a method of controlling the pure Yangyan, and it was not considered a profound spell.
However, if ordinary people want to control the pure Yangyan freely, they need the assistance of the experience and tricks of their predecessors.
Even the members of the Eastern Spirit Clan are like this.
However, he didn't expect that the same situation would be completely irrelevant when it came to his own disciple.
He simply relied on his talent to control the changes in flames. In terms of control, he was almost as good as his master.
In this way, all the tricks he had to control the divine fire became completely useless.
After all, everyone has already mastered fire, so why bother learning any other tricks?
Therefore, Dongfang Guyue, who had no food, had to divert Jin Renfeng's attention and instead teach him a more difficult method of strengthening.
"This method of strengthening is to strengthen the body with fire."
Dongfang Guyue coughed twice and said seriously.
……
"When using it, you need to cover your body with flames, and use the power of pure Yangyan to enhance your body's strength and speed."
……
"When defending, you can also cover your body with the divine fire. In this way, the divine fire can act like a magic weapon to defend against enemy attacks."
"This lineage is also the most powerful method of the Eastern Clan. When practiced to the highest level, it is the golden light that protects the body."
"Once used, it can improve speed, strength, and defense in all aspects."
"By then, even humans will be able to possess incomparably strong bodies like the demon race."
"Master, this strengthening method requires the body to be stained with flames. I don't think I can do this!"
Jin Renfeng said with a bitter face.
"I am not from the Eastern race. If the flames touch my body, I will be reduced to ashes on the spot."
"That's fine. You just need to protect your body with fire power to use this strengthening method."
Eastern Lone Moon Road.
"The pure yang fire energy I created does not isolate the effect of flames."
"But because you are from an outsider race and cannot make fire on your own, you cannot use the highest level of golden light body protection."
At this point, Dongfang Guyue sighed, with a look of regret in his eyes.
“This is also why I don’t want you to work hard on the magic of the Eastern Clan.
Although the Eastern clan's method of controlling fire is more complete, its upper limit is basically fixed.
Even if outsiders practice to the extreme, they cannot catch up with him.
His disciple was incredibly talented, and he really didn't want him to waste his energy on such a broken path.
"Master is also worried too much. I think that even if I can't use the golden light to protect my body, it won't have much impact on me."
Jin Renfeng said nonchalantly,
"Now that I have mastered the Divine Fire Sword Technique, even if the Eastern Clan's fire control method doesn't work, I can switch to practicing the Divine Fire Sword Technique."
“Besides, I have to walk this path eventually. Even if I can’t use the golden light to protect my body in the end, I can still create my own method.”
"It won't be a difficult problem that will kill me."
"It's not bad if you can be so open-minded!"
Dongfang Guyue said calmly.
"So, Master, don't worry about those trivial things. Just teach me, and I will handle the remaining difficulties."
Jin Renfeng patted his chest and chuckled,
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
"Although this method of controlling fire is somewhat difficult, I believe there will be a solution sooner or later."
After hearing these words, Dongfang Guyue's expression looked much better.
Then he talked about various tips for strengthening the body, such as the divine fire protecting the body and the golden light protecting the body. He also explained these two spells one by one.
Dongfang Gu Yue taught this gifted disciple everything he knew without holding back.
While practicing the method of strengthening the divine fire, Jin Renfeng also encountered many difficulties.
Even though he tried his best, he could only fully use the method of strengthening the divine fire. As for the divine fire protecting his body, it was still a little lacking.
As for the highest level, golden light protecting the body, it is even beyond reach.
In the martial arts training ground——
Jin Renfeng waved his arms, and flames surrounded his body, enveloping his limbs.
"That's all I can do!"
A look of frustration appeared on the boy's face.
"My control over the flames is still a little insufficient, and I am unable to completely cover my body."
Beside him, Dongfang Guyue's eyes twitched and he remained speechless for a long time.
It took him a month of hard practice to cover his limbs with the divine fire and finally master it.
Now, this bastard had just entered the door and had already completed the results of his one-month practice, but he was still not satisfied.
For a moment, Dongfang Guyue suddenly felt an urge to hit someone.
This foreigner was more skilled in using Pure Yangyan than his Eastern tribe.
Who can I ask to explain this?
"Master, I still need some time to get familiar with this divine fire body protection."
Jin Renfeng bowed and said,
"It is estimated that it will take another half a month to master it."
"Then you can practice on your own during this time! I also have something to do."
After being hit by his own disciple, Dongfang Gu Yue wanted to get away from the boy and have some peace and quiet by himself.
"Disciple accepts the order!"
Jin Renfeng bowed and said,
"But now I have almost used up all the divine fire in me. Master, can you give me some more?"
The pure yang flame in the flame jade pendant was just something his master taught him to control.
There are not many of them, and most of them have been used after several summons.
"As for the flame issue, go find Huaizhu!"
Eastern Lone Moon Road,
"My flames are too strong. If I use them for practice, it will easily hurt you."
"In comparison, Huaizhu's pure Yangyan is easier to control."
"The flames on your body before were also added by Huaizhu."
It turned out to be the case.
Jin Renfeng suddenly realized. No wonder he felt that the fire he used was slightly different from that used by his master and was much weaker in power.
He had thought it was an illusion before, but he didn't expect that the flame was actually added by Huai Zhu.
"That's right. Compared to Master's Demon King-level Pure Yangyan, Huaizhu's flame is softer."
Jin Renfeng thought to himself, and suddenly, he remembered something.
"By the way, Master said that I have the strength of a demon king, so it should be based on Huaizhu's flames!"
"In this case, if I use Master's demon king-level flame, will my combat power be further improved?"
"At least it should be stronger than it is now, but I'm not sure if it can become the Great Demon King."
Thinking of all the possibilities, Jin Renfeng was eager to try.
. . . . . .
night.
In the room, Jin Renfeng sat cross-legged on the bed with the Xunli sword placed in front of him.
In fact, when he was in the world of one person, he wanted to try out what changes his Ruyi weapon refining method would bring in the fox demon world.
