Chapter 1249: Chapter 481: Fire God Appears
Beside them, Xiao Qing and Ah Bai looked utterly shocked.
"Sister Jing..."
With complex emotions, Ning Jing glanced down at her teammates, involuntarily taking a step back. After all, the sensation of being gazed up at by a group of people was a bit unsettling, not to mention her clothes were torn now. Though Ning Jing was calm and not pretentious, some embarrassment was unavoidable.
"If I could control it, then I wouldn’t be a Genetic Evolver, but some type of Superpower User." Ning Jing sighed at this moment: "Currently, there isn’t anything unusual, just a lack of habit and maybe a bit of inconvenience, like not having suitable clothes to wear."
"That’s not a problem."
Lin Xian directly took out a set of Nanometer Inner Liner Suit; this equipment was achieved by material combination plus programming. Lin Xian also added a Dark Energy Synchronization Device and Microstatic Electric Field Protector on it, greatly enhancing protection, giving the team an extra ’soft protection’ power while wearing Power Armor.
And currently for Ning Jing, this ’clothing’ was the only item that could cover her two-and-a-half-meter body, preventing her from being in ragged clothing.
With gratitude, Ning Jing took it and the Nanometer Inner Liner Suit quickly covered her, instantly revealing a tall female giant figure in front of everyone. She looked down and, after putting on Armor, felt much calmer and said to Lin Xian:
"Much better. I’ll get used to it again; you’re right, perhaps I can control it, and if I can’t..."
Gazing complicatedly at her own hands, Ning Jing, whose face should have looked youthful, was now paired with a giant-like female body, which made any woman feel complicated. But at this moment, she could only sigh and say:
"At least my combat power increased, this size might be able to fight against larger Abnormal Bodies."
"I think it’s quite good." Qian Deli, sitting on a Hibernation Pod with crossed legs, looked up at Ning Jing with a grin and said: "See, such a perfect body, a complete blend of female physical beauty and strength. From an appreciation viewpoint, this is also a form of perfect life, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, Lv Chang, Luo Yang, and a few other men silently nodded, showing agreement.
"If becoming this strong means some sacrifices, it doesn’t matter," Xiao Qing said softly at this moment.
"Then are you willing to become a female giant?" Lin Xian asked her.
Upon hearing this from Lin Xian, Xiao Qing instinctively looked away.
At this time, KIKI looked toward the farthest Hibernation Pod, arms crossed, and said: "Alright, everyone else is fine, only the most troublesome guy is left."
Lin Xian spoke up: "Clearly all four Hibernation Pods sounded the alarm earlier. Why hasn’t Brother Huo’s pod opened yet?"
"What else could it be?"
KIKI chuckled and rolled her eyes: "Do we need to guess? That guy must be waiting to make a grand entrance. Maybe he’s almost fallen asleep waiting."
"Hehe~" Sha Sha couldn’t help but laugh, quietly leaning towards Lin Xian: "I just heard his pod open earlier, but we were all focused on Ryuji, then he closed it again."
Lin Xian: ...
Chen Sixuan covered her forehead, Xiao Qing rolled her eyes.
Though it left him speechless, the surging heatwave kept everyone curious; as the team member with the highest Spirit Vibration Value, Lin Xian was also immensely looking forward to Brother Huo’s evolution.
Perhaps sensing everyone’s anticipation, or due to the silence, Brother Huo’s Hibernation Pod finally showed signs of movement.
"Screech—Boom!!!"
A sound not of metal opening, but a blast of space forcefully tearing open, exploded violently from the edge-most Hibernation Pod! The sturdy alloy door instantly melted and vaporized by the outpouring crimson flames inside! The blinding red light erupted like a volcanic explosion, turning the entire pod room into a burning blood-red purgatory.
The lighting system emitted its final cries, shutting off completely, yet the pod room remained bright as day—the light source was the bursting core of flames.
A figure, stepping upon the molten pod remnants, ascended slowly as if emerging from the Sun’s core, resembling a deity.
Lu Xingchen!
The figure slowly levitated in the air, glowing brilliantly, countless fire refinings streaming in the air. Subsequently, from the scarlet fire refining, a god-like stance stepped forth, with white flame fire seeds burning fiercely deep within his pupils, igniting the air wherever his gaze landed, emitting sizzling explosions.
"Ho~" Lu Xingchen exhaled deeply with profound insight, enveloped in flames. At this moment, he wasn’t looking at anyone but was standing independently in the void.
"Three thousand paths, fire alone revered, Crystal Grid Casting Nascent Soul, Burning Heaven to Prove True Self!"
A deep and satisfying voice resounded. After speaking, he turned and stood with his hands behind his back, slowly raising his right hand, an action carrying a sense of mastery over the universe.
"Buzz——!"
Above his palm, space slightly distorted, and from nowhere, a nine-petal Red Lotus made of pure crimson flames bloomed! Precisely controlled by Lu Xingchen, emanating terrifying heat.
"This is the ’Burning World Red Lotus,’ a touch of true fire can incinerate all evils." Lu Xingchen’s lips curled into a dismissive arc, his gaze sweeps past the stunned teammates before finally landing on Lin Xian, his voice ringing like the clash of metal:
"Captain, is this ’Fire Virtue Star Lord’s’ mastery worthy of your appraisal?" He slightly closed his five fingers, and the Burning World Red Lotus suddenly shrank, transforming into a delicate crimson lotus seed, suspended at his fingertips, its emitted heat undiminished, rather more restrained and fearsome.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the high temperature inside the pod activated the automatic fire sprinkler system. The alarm sounded and instantly released large jets of water curtains and cold nitrogen gas from the top, pouring directly on Lu Xingchen, extinguishing the flames on him. Steam and cold expanded, spreading indiscriminately.
The temperature inside the Hibernation Pod immediately dropped, resulting in instant quietness.
