"Holy crap."
Wei Jianbai exclaimed "Holy crap" once again.
After all that flirting just now, they were bragging again?
Comparing a firefly to the bright moon, why don't they just brag all the way to the heavens?
If Xia Feng had said those words, Wei Jianbai felt he could tolerate it. But these words came from Lü Siyao's mouth. As a beautiful woman, saying such sycophantic words, didn't she feel she was betraying her image?
Listening to Lü Siyao's words, Wei Jianbai almost broke character.
"Ahem... If you have something to say, please wait until after the competition. This is making me very uncomfortable," Wei Jianbai coughed lightly and reminded them.
Since it was Lü Siyao who spoke earlier, Wei Jianbai felt it improper to speak harshly.
Lü Siyao listened and nodded earnestly, apologizing, "My apologies for disturbing you."
As Lü Siyao spoke, she also winked at Xia Feng.
The two temporarily stopped their conversation. The competition was still ongoing, and as Wei Jianbai had anticipated, Lü Siyao's momentum was waning.
After all, she had used too much energy at the beginning, and her strength was depleted, leading to a lack of sustaining power.
Controlling fire required a gradual increase from small to large, and it needed to be sustained. This also required personal strength as a foundation.
Otherwise, if Xia Feng had displayed his Immortal Lord realm strength, they wouldn't have dared to look down on him.
Lü Siyao, eager to impress Xia Feng, slowly began to fade.
Seeing Lü Siyao's growing gap with the five disciples from the Artifact Sect, Xia Feng said, "Siyao, do you want me to help you?"
"Big Brother Xia, I can hold on for a while longer. There's still plenty of time. If you step in later, I won't have any fun," Lü Siyao said with utmost seriousness.
Wei Jianbai: (⊙o⊙)…
Be human.
Here we go again.
Just how outstanding is this Xia Feng? You're stating it so openly. He really wanted to witness it.
"Alright," Xia Feng nodded.
Bei Jisi, looking at the fire on his side, walked up to Mu Liangchen and asked smugly, "Sect Master Mu, you're going to lose. You won't go back on any conditions I set, right?"
Mu Liangchen didn't even hesitate before replying, "Don't worry, I always keep my word."
If he hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to Xia Feng.
At the same time, Mu Liangchen glanced sideways at Bei Jisi and muttered to himself: You still think you'll win? Don't even dream about it.
"Hehe... That's good then." Seeing Mu Liangchen's quick reply, Bei Jisi was confident he wouldn't renege.
"Heh heh... You think you'll win?" Mu Liangchen couldn't resist a sarcastic remark at Bei Jisi's confident expression.
"Isn't it obvious who's winning now?" Bei Jisi pointed at the participants controlling the flames in the arena.
"Doesn't the Pill Sect still have one disciple who hasn't made a move?" Mu Liangchen pointed at Xia Feng, who was standing beside Lü Siyao.
"Haha... In such a serious occasion, why would you say something to amuse me? Are you doing this intentionally?"
Bei Jisi burst into laughter. He couldn't believe they were counting on someone at the Immortal Lord realm to turn the tide.
Even if Xia Feng had the same strength as Lü Siyao, time was running out, and the gap between the flames was widening. It was too late to catch up.
It was precisely because of this that Bei Jisi had come to ask Mu Liangchen if he would go back on his word.
"Even with the last bit of time, you won't have a chance because he hasn't made his move yet," Mu Liangchen said, too lazy to argue with Bei Jisi, sticking to his statement.
The moment Xia Feng made his move, none of them would stand a chance.
Seeing Mu Liangchen's resolute stance, Bei Jisi snorted, "Then let's wait and see. You just need to keep your word when the time comes."
After a few exchanges, they fell silent again.
There was a time limit for controlling flames in the competition, so everyone had gone all out from the start, holding nothing back.
As the competition entered its intense phase, with time running out and the gap between the flames widening,
Wei Jianbai finally revealed a smile as he saw the flames on their side significantly leading the Pill Sect.
At this point, even two Lü Siyaos couldn't catch up.
"Junior Sister Lü, it seems your Pill Sect will lose this time," Wei Jianbai said smugly, looking at Lü Siyao.
The two sects were formerly one, and calling Lü Siyao "Junior Sister" was a respectful address.
Lü Siyao remained unfazed. If they could win, then pigs could climb trees.
"There's no chance."
Lü Siyao spoke calmly.
Her gentleness was reserved only for Xia Feng, her master, and her family.
With Xia Feng present, Lü Siyao's words gained confidence, and she playfully said there was no chance.
Wei Jianbai didn't get angry upon hearing this, as the competition was nearing its end, and verbal sparring was useless.
As time ticked away, Lü Siyao looked at Xia Feng and called out, "Big Brother Xia, I can't hold on any longer. You can come and help now."
"Alright, and I'll teach you what real flame control is," Xia Feng replied.
Upon hearing that Xia Feng was about to enter the arena, Wei Jianbai's lips curled into a disdainful smile. Teach Lü Siyao what flame control is?
Did they really think this was a venue for them to show off their affection?
Before Wei Jianbai could react, Xia Feng gently extended a hand towards the cauldron. The flames in the cauldron instantly erupted with a multicolored radiance, forming like thunder. The flames shifted through several colors, finally settling on purple.
What Xia Feng accomplished in an instant was something the entire Artifact Sect couldn't even come close to.
(⊙o⊙)…
Everyone was stunned, especially Bei Jisi, whose eyes on the stage widened like saucers.
For Xia Feng, this was just the beginning. When everyone thought it was over, Xia Feng's controlled purple flames formed a small human figure in the center.
"This... this... this is the legendary Fire Man."
Bei Jisi exclaimed, his voice shrill and shocked, as if he had caught his wife cheating.
Watching Bei Jisi's outburst, Mu Liangchen showed a faint smile.
Such a small spectacle, and he's already this shocked?
Let alone the appearance of a Fire Man, even a live transmutation, Mu Liangchen considered it child's play.
After the Fire Man appeared, the spectacle wasn't over. Xia Feng waved his hand, and all the flames from the Artifact Sect's side surged towards Xia Feng's purple flames, as if they had gained a life of their own.
Xia Feng patiently explained to Lü Siyao, who nodded continuously.
At this moment, aside from Xia Feng's voice, the entire venue was so quiet that a pin drop would be audible.
"Alright, I'm done playing with you. Go back to your master," Xia Feng said, taking Lü Siyao with him as they ascended.
Then, Xia Feng's voice echoed from the air: "Sect Master Mu, after you finish your business, come find Wuji Zi. I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Liangchen quickly stood up and knelt heavily in the direction Xia Feng had left, his eyes filled with immense respect, and shouted, "By the Immortal Emperor's decree!"
Immortal Emperor?
Everyone was dumbfounded!!!
