Chapter 384: Chapter 383: Ji Huang’er’s Fortune

The second day of the All Stars finals began.

Under the veil of night, the All Stars Academy became a sleepless pearl, a rare gathering place for countless geniuses.

The place had become an ocean of revelry.

Qin Feng couldn’t remember how many students and Elders he had turned away from his door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

A knock came from the door. Qin Feng frowned, but after a sweep with his vast Divine Thought, his expression brightened. With a wave of his sleeve, the door swung open.

A tall young woman in fiery red robes appeared at the entrance. She had a slender, graceful figure, her long hair dancing in the night breeze, exuding a youthful vibrance.

"Qin Feng, here’s what I owe you!" Her expression was cold. With a wave of her sleeve, a Spirit Fire seed sealed within an Ice Crystal shot toward him.

Qin Feng caught it firmly and glanced at the sealed Taiyin Spirit Fire in his palm.

Ji Huang’Er turned to leave.

"What’s the rush? Not staying for a while, Junior Sister Ji?" Qin Feng’s voice came from behind her.

Ji Huang’Er spun around and snorted. "Is there really anything left for us to talk about?"

Qin Feng casually broke the seal and, as if slurping a noodle, inhaled the Taiyin Spirit Fire into his body and began to slowly refine it.

This act made Ji Huang’Er’s delicate eyebrows twitch.

A flash of joy appeared in his eyes. ’After refining the Taiyin Spirit Fire, the power of my Chaos Fire Divine Technique will surely increase.’

Looking up, Qin Feng smiled. "There’s plenty we can talk about. For instance, your hobbies, what kind of Treasures you like, or whether your family has saddled you with an arranged marriage!"

"How boring!" Ji Huang’Er shot Qin Feng a harsh glare and turned to leave again.

"If you don’t want to talk about that, we could discuss the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power you’re cultivating!"

Ji Huang’Er froze mid-step, then suddenly spun around, her gaze fixed on Qin Feng.

Qin Feng rubbed his nose, though inwardly, he was quite surprised himself. ’If I hadn’t gotten a whim to sneak a peek with my Divine Thought just now, I might not have noticed anything was amiss.’

"What else do you know?" A hint of coldness flashed in Ji Huang’Er’s eyes.

"The Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power is a Fire Attribute Great Divine Power. For every new Spirit Fire you obtain, your comprehension of flames deepens. Gathering nine Spirit Fires allows you to reach initial success. Eighteen Spirit Fires grants Minor Achievement, thirty-six brings you to mastery, and if you can gather forty-nine, you will reach Great Perfection!"

Here, Qin Feng paused slightly. "Furthermore, if you have the follow-up Secret Technique, you might be able to grasp a sliver of the essence of the Supreme Great Divine Ability ranked ninety-fifth on the Divine Power Ranking, ’Fire Burning Three Realms’!"

"If you can truly master ’Fire Burning Three Realms’, you will become a God of Fire and forge a Fire God Body!"

"You actually know all the cultivation mysteries of the Nine Revolutions Spirit Fire Divine Power!" Ji Huang’Er stared at Qin Feng, her eyes wide with shock.

The Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power was an Ultimate Skill of the Ji Family, one of its three great safeguarding True Inheritances that were never taught to outsiders.

Even Ji Huang’Er, the direct daughter of the Patriarch’s Direct Lineage, had only learned the Cultivation Secret Technique for this method half a year ago.

Ji Huang’Er’s heart trembled violently.

"You must have collected a few Spirit Fires, Junior Sister Ji. But from the looks of it, you haven’t even reached Perfection in cultivating the nine foundational Minor Divine Abilities of the Nine Revolutions Spirit Fire Divine Power. It seems you’re still a long way from mastering the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power!"

Ji Huang’Er looked as if she had seen a ghost. Qin Feng wasn’t wrong in the slightest.

She was indeed cultivating the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power, but she had not yet achieved Perfection in the most fundamental nine Minor Divine Abilities.

"You’re missing several Spirit Fires!" Qin Feng added, stating the reason for her slow progress.

"How do you know the Cultivation Technique of my Ji Family’s True Inheritance?" The coldness in Ji Huang’Er’s eyes grew more intense.

A True Inheritance was the very foundation of a clan. If she weren’t so uncertain of her ability to defeat Qin Feng, Ji Huang’Er would have captured him right then and there to force the reason out of him.

Qin Feng was rather nonchalant. To him, it was just a Great Divine Power Secret Technique. Never mind Great Divine Abilities—he had the Cultivation Techniques for most of the Supreme Great Divine Abilities in the top one hundred of the Divine Power Ranking.

The problem was, knowing how to cultivate something was one thing; whether one could actually succeed in cultivating it was another matter entirely.

"Don’t be so hostile. I only brought this up because I want to make a deal with you!"

Qin Feng rose to his full height and appeared at the doorway, gazing at the few peach trees in the courtyard.

The peach blossoms were exceptionally vibrant. Pink petals drifted down, carrying a refreshing, sweet fragrance.

Her expression shifted. Ji Huang’Er had already guessed what Qin Feng was about to say. She wasn’t a fool, just momentarily stunned by him. Now that she had come to her senses, she instantly understood his intentions.

"You want to trade Spirit Fires?"

"Correct. I currently have thirteen types of Spirit Fire in my body. You can choose any of them to trade for. This would be beneficial for both of us!"

Qin Feng cultivated the ’Chaos Fire Divine Technique’, which was similar to the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power in that his strength would increase with every new Spirit Fire he refined and fused.

One by one, Spirit Fires began to materialize above Qin Feng’s palm.

True Sun Fire, Heaven and Earth Sui Fire, Red Evil Spirit Fire, Cyan Lotus Demon Fire, Cyan Simurgh True Fire, Scale Blood True Flame, Wood Green Fire, Nanming Li Fire, True Dragon Separation Fire, Formless Heart Fire, Nine Nether Spirit Fire, and finally, the one Ji Huang’Er was most familiar with—the Heaven-Burning Blood Flame—was also among them.

Every single one was a Top-Spirit Fire, emanating a shockingly powerful might.

Ji Huang’Er gasped. ’He’s actually gathered so many Spirit Fires...’

At that moment, Ji Huang’Er was tempted. A strange, intense light flashed in her eyes for an instant. ’If I could just kill this black-robed youth and plunder all these fire seeds...’

The next moment, Ji Huang’Er extinguished the thought.

’Since Qin Feng understands the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power, and he possesses so many Spirit Fires...’

The mere thought of the possibility made Ji Huang’Er shudder.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Huang’Er’s eyes shifted, and two Spirit Fires appeared in her palm.

One was as black as ink. The moment it appeared, it began to corrode even the Void itself, faintly exuding a terrifying Anomalous Power capable of refining even God-Demons.

"This is the Ancient Poison Flame, condensed from the endless Poisonous Qi, Yin Qi, Evil Qi, and other terrifying negative essences from the Earth Lung! It’s rumored that this flame is the natal Heart Fire of the Ancient Poison Dragon, one of the Postnatal True Spirits. You actually managed to get your hands on something so terrifying!"

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. ’The Ancient Poison Flame is a legendary Divine Fire!’

Even a Martial Arts Giant would be in for a world of trouble if they were touched by even a sliver of this horrifying thing.

That Ji Huang’Er had such a resource was far beyond Qin Feng’s expectations.

His gaze swept over to the second flame, and a golden light erupted in his eyes.

The origin of this second flame was even more astonishing.

It was a flame that presented an image of pure white light, like a lamp of hope. Within this wisp of fire, Qin Feng seemed to see a scene from the Primordial Chaos: during the age of the Barbaric Wilderness, the Su Huang creating fire by drilling wood, and countless members of the Human Race worshiping and offering sacrifices, their hearts filled with hope.

With just a single glance, Qin Feng felt the countless negative thoughts in his mind dissolve like melting ice. His soul seemed drawn to it, wanting to plunge into that wisp of pure white flame like a moth to a fire...
