Chapter 224: Chapter 214 Blue Fire 2_2

The surrounding black aura, tinged with gold, was spinning rapidly around it, giving it not the slightest chance to devour anything.

"The growth rate has stopped," the researcher announced, reading off the data from the instrument.

"I can only suppress it temporarily like this," Wu Duanhe said with an ugly expression, "I can feel that as soon as I let go, the Blue Flame will immediately return to its original state."

"Haiyi!" Wu Duanshan asked in a deep voice from the side, "Did you use a clone of the Divine Artifact to contain it earlier?"

Wu Haiyi knew the situation was urgent and didn’t dare to delay, hurriedly saying, "Yes, it was with a sub-entity of the Divine Artifact. At that time, the Blue Flame didn’t display this level of power. It was very quiet."

Wu Duanshan pondered for a moment.

"Second brother, is it possible to transfer this thing?"

Wu Duanhe shook his head.

"No, I can’t even move it! If I do, it will immediately return to its original state, and might even become stronger."

"We absolutely can’t let it erupt here. The parts of the Divine Artifact were just transferred here. If it erupts, triggering the power of the Divine Artifact, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Wu Duanshan said gravely.

"Try the sub-entities of the Divine Artifact parts again! Everyone who has a sub-entity, bring out your own!" He was the first to produce a silver ring, set with a translucent, glowing diamond.

All those present took out their sub-entities, a total of five rings, and placed them all in Wu Duanshan’s hands. The five rings were immediately sent into the Confinement Room via the item transfer system.

A burst of transparent fluctuations suddenly emanated from the total six rings, and the Blue Flame contracted slightly as if combating the transparent waves.

But soon, between expansion and contraction, the growth rate of the Blue Flame was less noticeable, yet one could still feel that it was steadily gaining strength.

"Patriarch, it’s not enough!!" Professor Zhao hurried to the instrument display, looking at the data and curves. "In three hours, the Blue Flame will double in size again!"

Wu Duanhe had already retracted his energy. Hearing this, his expression also changed.

Wu Yanqing said solemnly, "Father, all of our Divine Artifact sub-entities are here. Yet, we still can’t suppress it. We should use the power of the Divine Artifact’s main body right away! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

"Yanqing is right, looking at the current trend, the Blue Flame still has the potential to get stronger. We must use the Divine Artifact parts now," some family powerhouses behind chimed in.

Wu Duanshan’s gaze was gloomy as he glanced at the Blue Flame inside the glass.

"Use the Divine Artifact’s main body at once!! Suppress the Blue Flame directly!"

"Alright, big brother," Wu Duanhe nodded.

On the side, Wu Haiyi stared intently at the Blue Flame inside the glass, his expression changing unpredictably.

"Not right!! That person did it on purpose!! He intentionally let me capture his aura!" he suddenly exclaimed through gritted teeth.

Wu Duanshan and the others instantly focused their eyes on him.

"Are you sure?"

Wu Haiyi’s expression was extremely ugly as he said hoarsely, "I’m sure! At the beginning, my clone tangled with that person for a while, clearly at the edge of the family’s territory, but he didn’t seem panicked at all. Now that I think about it, it’s very strange! Does he not fear the family’s other powerhouses coming to support?"

"It seems like this person wanted to force us to use the Divine Artifact’s main body to suppress the Blue Flame. His goal might be to locate the position of the Divine Artifact through this," Wu Yanqing quickly realized.

"We have no choice!" Wu Duanshan said solemnly. "Transferring the main body of the Divine Artifact takes three days, but now, in just one day, the Blue Flame can completely devour this place, and with a formidable enemy outside standing off, neither my second brother nor I can afford to delay here."

"Since his target is the Divine Artifact’s main body, then he will definitely head straight for it. What we need to do now is just wait. Two days! Within two days, we can completely deal with the standoff against the Forest of the Sky and Jinneng Temple, so if the other party is well-informed or able to discern the overall situation, they would know that these two days are critical. He certainly won’t miss this timing!" Wu Duanshan concluded in an instant.

"We’ll just wait for him here!"

******************

At the entrance of Yan Capital University.

Lin Fei was holding Shuang’er, standing inside an egg cone ice cream shop.

The light yellow storefront ambiance, behind a bright yellow counter, a service girl in a yellow apron was deftly preparing ice cream for customer after customer. Ice cream was poured into each cone and adorned with candied fruit and the like. Two Yuan apiece.

In front of Lin Fei and Shuang’er were two young female college students. Both sported short ponytails, wore T-shirts of the same color with different patterns, jeans, and each carried a white plastic bag that looked like the kind used to carry clothes, bulging inside. While waiting for their ice cream, they chatted about what they had bought that day, comparing which places had the better deals.

Behind Lin Fei was a short-haired girl with a pink shoulder bag and a white cap, busily sending text messages on her phone.

Most of the students queuing for cone ice cream were girls, with the exception of the fifth person in line behind Lin Fei—the only other male student.

Occasionally, students who just came out of internet cafes passed by the sidewalk, and one could sporadically hear discussions about playing Warcraft and StarCraft.

It wasn’t long before it was Lin Fei’s turn.

"Here’s your ice cream," the shop assistant quickly prepared a cone and handed it to Lin Fei.

**************

The golden glow filled the Confinement Room like an ocean.

Everyone’s face reflected a faint golden hue.

Wu Duanshan silently watched as numerous golden crystals rapidly spread from the walls of the Confinement Room, crackling like ice forming. The soft golden light slowly emitted, bringing an extremely gentle and comfortable sensation that welled up from within.

The golden crystals quickly came into contact with the wildly burning Blue Flame.

With a series of cracks, the entire Blue Flame was instantly enveloped in gold and completely solidified into a large, spiked, golden ice formation, suspended in the middle of the Confinement Room.

"Send this cluster of crystals to the location of the Divine Artifact’s core. This is just a temporary suppression," Wu Duanhe instructed.

"To completely restrain the Attribute of the Dream Eater, now that they have positioned themselves against our family, this person cannot be spared!" Wu Duanshan said gravely. "Just this aura alone has grown to such an extent. What will we do if this person becomes stronger later?!"

"Indeed, make arrangements quickly. Take the location of the Divine Artifact as the center. All Dream Eaters must be on high alert, with no relaxation of vigilance, continuing till two days later!" Wu Duanhe nodded.

The two of them silently observed the Blue Flame being continuously sealed within the Confinement Room. The alternating reflections of gold and blue light danced unpredictably across their faces.

Hissss!!

The last crevice of the Blue Flame was finally sealed.

**************

"Your cone?" The shop assistant repeated, puzzled.

A flash of blue light flickered briefly in Lin Fei’s eyes as he snapped back to reality.

"Sorry, I was zoning out," he apologized, accepting the cone before handing it to Shuang’er beside him.

Shuang’er happily licked the cone in small bites, her adorable actions drawing the continuous gaze of the surrounding girls. The allure of cute things always had a low resistance among girls.

After paying, he left the shop with Shuang’er in tow.

"Ding~~~~" A cartoon alarm clock on the counter of a nearby watch shop chimed precisely, "The time now is 10:22."

Lin Fei watched as Shuang’er nibbled on the cone, his gaze softening, no matter how strong or mature and smart he was, she was still just a girl without a childhood, still delighted by tasty treats and excited by the things she loved.

"Is it good?"

"Delicious~~" Shuang’er cheerfully replied, with a smear of white cream at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Fei gently tousled Shuang’er’s hair, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

************

Within a vast golden ocean, inside a huge diamond-shaped crystal, the previously frozen Blue Flame suddenly reignited.

"Roar!!"

An ancient roar faintly echoed. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
