Chapter 166 Want to Rebel? Not So Easy
The strange fire in Zhuang Yu's palm was as red as blood, and the leaping flames were like a wild beast breaking free from its cage, instantly filling the entire space with a violent aura.
The air was distorted and deformed by the scorching heat, and visually, the surrounding scenery seemed to sway in the water, emitting a dazzling light.
Waves of heat lashed at Zhuang Yu's face, making his skin feel as if it were being burned away, and even breathing became hot and difficult.
He could sense an astonishing energy contained within the strange fire, a power that seemed to tear him apart and was completely beyond his control.
His expression turned serious, and his brows furrowed. This strange fire was indeed no ordinary thing; if he was not careful, it might backfire on him.
Hong Qi and the others were already terrified by the sight before them. They lay prostrate on the ground, trembling, and even their pleas for mercy were weak and feeble.
They had never seen such terrifying flames before. It was not just heat, but a kind of oppressive force from the depths of their souls, making them feel incredibly small and terrified.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging blood and qi within his body.
He did not choose to suppress the strange fire by force, as that would only backfire.
His lips curled slightly, and his eyes became deep and focused.
He slowly closed his eyes, concentrated his spiritual power, and cautiously probed towards the strange fire like a gentle stream.
He tried to connect with this unruly flame, to communicate with it on a spiritual level.
This method is undoubtedly very risky; a slight misstep could result in being consumed by the violent power of the flames.
But Zhuang Yu had a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that this strange fire was not completely untamable. Perhaps it could be made to willingly serve him through some special means.
Wang Yao looked at Zhuang Yu's tightly closed eyes, her heart filled with worry.
The air around her seemed to freeze, making it hard for her to breathe.
She had never seen Zhuang Yu so serious before. Even from such a distance, she could feel a heart-pounding fear from the immense power of that strange fire.
She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, silently praying that Zhuang Yu would be safe and sound.
She could sense that Zhuang Yu was doing something very dangerous, and she was powerless to do anything about it. This feeling of helplessness made her feel extremely distressed.
Time passed second by second, and everything around him became incredibly quiet, with only the sound of the strange fire flickering echoing in Zhuang Yu's ears.
His spiritual power cautiously touched the core of the strange fire, and he felt a violent power like a volcanic eruption. In an instant, a strange scene appeared before his eyes...
Zhuang Yu's spiritual power was as thin as a wisp of silk, cautiously exploring the core of the strange fire.
Just as he was about to reach the deepest point, a golden light suddenly flashed in his mind, and an ancient book floated in front of him.
The pages of the book turned automatically, and the dense text jumped like tadpoles, as a profound message flooded into his mind.
That was a special technique for taming strange flames, called the "Heart Flame Technique".
Zhuang Yu's heart stirred, and he immediately realized that this was probably guidance given to him by the mysterious space.
He quickly grasped the essence of the "Heart Flame Technique" and, following the instructions, slowly infused the gentle spiritual energy within his body into the strange fire.
The crimson flames began to stir restlessly, as if they had been provoked.
Its pulsation gradually slowed down, and its originally violent aura began to weaken.
The distorted air around us gradually returned to normal, and the heat wave became milder and less unbearable.
Hong Qi and the others finally recovered from their fear. They cautiously raised their heads and saw that Zhuang Yu was surrounded by a faint golden halo. The originally scorching flames had softened a bit, and their faces showed relief at surviving the ordeal.
Wang Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
She knew that Zhuang Yu would definitely succeed.
Just when Zhuang Yu thought everything would go smoothly, the strange fire suddenly erupted with an even more powerful force.
Like an enraged beast, it no longer tried to establish a connection with Zhuang Yu, but instead transformed into pillars of crimson fire, charging fiercely towards Zhuang Yu with an aura of annihilation.
Wherever the flames passed, the air was burned away, producing a crackling sound.
Zhuang Yu was prepared, so he did not panic.
He quickly mobilized his spiritual energy, forming a thick spiritual energy shield around his body.
The pillar of fire slammed into the shield with a deafening roar, sending countless sparks flying.
Sparks scattered like blooming crimson lotuses, illuminating the entire space in a fiery red glow.
Wang Yao's heart leaped into her throat again. Her fingers gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and her palms were sweating with nervousness.
She stared intently at Zhuang Yu, afraid of missing any detail; her heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air, ready to jump out at any moment.
"Hmph, want to resist? Not so easy!" Zhuang Yu snorted coldly, the golden light around him became even more dazzling, and a powerful force burst forth from his body.
That power, like a trickle, continuously flowed into the strange fire, attempting to completely tame this unruly flame.
"Ugh..." Zhuang Yu suddenly groaned.
Zhuang Yu's body began to sway slightly, his face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He felt his spiritual energy being consumed at an alarming rate, like a flood bursting its banks.
The ground beneath his feet began to show spiderweb-like cracks due to the violent fluctuations in his spiritual energy, and the cracks continued to expand, as if they were about to devour everything.
He clenched his teeth, letting out a low groan as a strong sense of exhaustion washed over him. He desperately channeled his spiritual energy into the strange fire, trying to completely suppress its violent power.
The crimson flames, enveloped in golden light, struggled incessantly, emitting terrifying crackling sounds, as if they were about to destroy everything around them.
Wang Yao looked at Zhuang Yu's swaying figure, her heart filled with worry.
She could sense the immense pain Zhuang Yu was enduring, the indescribable torment that pained her deeply.
She could no longer bear this feeling of helplessness. She mustered her courage, took a step, and walked towards Zhuang Yu.
She moved slowly, as if afraid of disturbing him, taking each step carefully.
Finally, she came up behind Zhuang Yu, stretched out her slender arms, and gently hugged him.
Wang Yao's body was soft and warm, like the warmest sunshine in spring, dispelling Zhuang Yu's weariness.
He was slightly taken aback, feeling the warmth coming from behind him, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
It was an experience he had never had before, a feeling of being cared for and loved, like a clear spring that nourished his parched heart.
His stiff body gradually relaxed, allowing Wang Yao to hold him in her arms.
"Are you...are you alright?" Wang Yao's voice was very soft and gentle, like a feather, gently brushing against Zhuang Yu's ear.
Her breath carried a faint fragrance, lingering around Zhuang Yu's nose, making him feel a surge of desire.
Zhuang Yu didn't speak; he simply nodded slightly and gently rested his head on Wang Yao's shoulder.
He greedily absorbed her scent, feeling her soft body, and a strange emotion began to grow in his heart.
They had never been so close, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
He could feel Wang Yao's heartbeat accelerating, pounding like a deer's, and his own heartbeat quickened as well, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
He slowly raised his hand and gently took Wang Yao's hand in his. His fingers inadvertently brushed against her soft skin, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout his body. A strange current surged from their fingertips and flowed wildly through their bodies.
“Zhuang Yu…” Wang Yao’s voice trembled slightly. She felt her cheeks burning and could feel Zhuang Yu’s hot breath spraying against her ear, making her feel dizzy.
Just then, Zhuang Yu suddenly felt a powerful force surging into his body from Wang Yao's body. That force was like a sweet spring, nourishing his tired body.
He suddenly opened his eyes, gripped Wang Yao's hand tightly, a mysterious smile on his face, and whispered, "Yao'er, you...?"
Wang Yao's spiritual power was pure and gentle, flowing slowly into Zhuang Yu's body like a gentle stream, replenishing his depleted spiritual power.
At the same time, golden light shone brightly in the mysterious space, and a purer energy surged into Zhuang Yu's body, repairing his damaged meridians.
The two forces converged and merged, forming a powerful energy vortex that enveloped Zhuang Yu and the strange fire.
Sensing this powerful energy, the strange fire gradually calmed down from its violent throbbing, as if it realized that resistance was pointless.
The crimson flames gradually subsided, eventually transforming into a delicate lotus flower that floated quietly in Zhuang Yu's palm.
The lotus petals slowly unfurled, emitting a soft light that illuminated Zhuang Yu's face.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"It's done!" Zhuang Yu said in a low voice, his tone filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
He slowly opened his palm, and the lotus of strange fire gently pulsated, like an obedient child, joyfully spinning and dancing around him.
The surrounding temperature returned to normal, and a faint fragrance filled the air—the scent of the strange fire.
Wang Yao watched as Zhuang Yu successfully tamed the strange fire, a relieved smile appearing on her face.
She released her grip on Zhuang Yu, took a few steps back, and stood quietly to the side, watching everything unfold before her.
Hong Qi and the others were already stunned by the scene before them. They stared in disbelief, as if they had witnessed something incredible.
They never imagined that someone could tame such a powerful strange fire.
Their eyes were filled with awe and admiration as they looked at Zhuang Yu.
Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Zhuang Yu suddenly felt a chill. He abruptly raised his head, his eyes sharp, and looked around warily.
He sensed a dangerous aura rapidly approaching.
"Yao'er, be careful!" Zhuang Yu pulled Wang Yao behind him, protecting her.
His voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of tension in it.
Wang Yao also sensed something was wrong. She gripped Zhuang Yu's clothes tightly, her heart filled with unease.
She looked up at Zhuang Yu's resolute back and felt a strange sense of security welling up inside her.
"Who goes there? Sneaking around like that, get out here!" Zhuang Yu shouted sharply, his voice echoing in the air like thunder.
