Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Blocking the Earth Fire, Absorbing the Firepower!

"Not good!"

Lu Chen’s expression changed instantly. This was Earth Fire, fire naturally born from the earth, and if even a strand touched him, not only would it injure him, but he feared that it would continually adhere and scorch his flesh!

He couldn’t care less about the Mysterious Iron Spear in the refining furnace and hastily retreated backwards.

"Whoosh—"

The fire dragon charged toward him, but its momentum suddenly lightened considerably.

Lu Chen quickly looked up and saw that the fire dragon was not pursuing him but heading towards the Spiritual Fire!

"Is the Earth Fire trying to devour my Spiritual Fire?"

Lu Chen’s reaction was extremely quick, and he instantly guessed this possibility.

The intelligence of the Spiritual Fire was not high, it obviously had not predicted this event, and it was at a loss as to what to do as the fire dragon charged at it.

Lu Chen swiftly turned around and started using the Fire Control Technique on the Spiritual Fire!

"Draw!"

With a low shout, the Spiritual Power inside Lu Chen’s body circulated. Perhaps it was because it had all transformed into Fire Spiritual Power, but under Lu Chen’s control, the Spiritual Fire, as if it had found the only chance to escape, rushed towards Lu Chen’s forearm and burrowed directly into it!

But before Lu Chen could catch his breath, the fire dragon opened its mouth and roared, biting towards his arm!

Lu Chen’s expression hardened, and he stepped back two more steps, instinctively reaching for the long spear, then he violently remembered—the spear was still in the Artifact Refining furnace!

"What should I do, am I really going to control this fire with my bare hands?"

Lu Chen took two more steps back but now found himself against the stone wall of the cavern.

There was nowhere left to retreat!

As the fire dragon bore down on him, Lu Chen had a flash of inspiration!

"The Earth Fire is fire, and my Fire Spiritual Power is also fire! Let’s see what you can do!"

Lu Chen focused his mind, his hands shifting into movements, and once again used the Fire Technique, a fire dragon made of Spiritual Power quickly emerged from the palm of his hand!

"Go quickly!"

With a flick of his hand, Lu Chen’s Fire Spiritual Power surged out and, under his control, became completely entangled with the Earth Fire!

At the same time, Lu Chen used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to observe the intertwined flames.

This had already become instinctive in combat, but unexpectedly, he saw an extremely mysterious sight!

The flames he had produced were merging with the fire dragon formed by the Earth Fire!

"My fire dragon is made of Fire Spiritual Power. Could it be that after they completely fuse into one, I can absorb it back?"

This thought, once it occurred, became irresistible. Lu Chen knew that if he succeeded, it would mean something significant!

He could completely absorb these flames and then transfer them to the Spiritual Fire, which would be even more effective than the Spiritual Fire devouring the power from the Earth Fire on its own!

No sooner said than done, Lu Chen carefully brought out the Spiritual Fire from his forearm and held it above his palm.

After that, he started to practice the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

Spiritual Power rose from his Dantian, and a faint suction force began to emerge.

The flames that had become entangled into a mass were drawn out bit by bit, moving towards Lu Chen’s palm!

Under his control, Lu Chen guided the flames towards the Spiritual Fire.

Indeed, as he had anticipated, the power of the flames slowly entered the Spiritual Fire!

The Spiritual Fire, having been tamed by him and acknowledging him as its master, allowed Lu Chen to clearly feel the sensation of joy conveyed by the Spiritual Fire!

"It’s working, it’s working! If the Spiritual Fire succeeds, in the future, I’ll handle Artifact Refining with even greater ease!"

Indeed, the Earth Fire here was, in terms of grade, higher than his Spiritual Fire.

But in the future, Lu Chen would have to break the chains that trapped Lu Tianren when he went back to Tianyuan, and he would need his own Spiritual Fire to do that.

He couldn’t take the Earth Fire with him!

Thus, Lu Chen completely forgot that he was still refining the Mysterious Iron Spear. He immersed his mind wholeheartedly into absorbing the power within the mass of flames for the Spiritual Fire.

With every breath, Lu Chen could feel the Spiritual Fire growing stronger.

In his heart, he couldn’t help but look forward to it— if his Spiritual Fire could also breakthrough, he wondered what realm it could reach!

Furthermore, if he perfected his Fire Control Technique, he would have yet another means to confront enemies in the future!

While he was excitedly and carefully absorbing this fire power, at the entrance of the Casting Gear Pavilion, Zhu Chongjiu also arrived at the Enforcement Hall but did not encounter Li Haorong.

Upon inquiring with his disciples, he learned that the other eight elders were all gathered together, discussing some matter!

Zhu Chongjiu’s heart was bitter, yet he was helpless. His fellow elder brothers were not avoiding him; it was just that he usually had little say and was treated as if he was invisible.

With a sigh, Zhu Chongjiu walked towards the council hall.

Even before he reached the door, he heard Li Haorong vaguely mention the words "secret realm" and "tempering."

Zhu Chongjiu couldn’t help but mutter, "I didn’t have any disciples before, so it wasn’t easy to say anything, but now that I have a disciple, I should at least secure a spot for Lu Chen, right?"
