"Wow~" A grayish-white flame slowly rose from Fei Lei's palm, emitting a scorching airflow that raised the surrounding air temperature considerably.
"Surprised, kid?"
"This is the Beast Flame from the Fifth Rank Magic Beast: White Molten Worm. Even a Dou Grandmaster's Dou Qi Armor can't hold up for a minute. A Dou Master will be ashes within ten seconds!"
Fei Lei proudly showed off his Beast Flame.
"Is that so? You're really impressive," Yun Tianming responded expressionlessly, but inwardly, he couldn't help but sneer.
If the opponent used Dou Qi in combat, even with some watered-down Dou Spirit abilities, Yun Tianming knew that with his 9 Star Dou Master strength, winning against a higher level opponent wouldn't be easy. However, if the opponent chose to use flames to compete, the situation would be completely different.
"Hmph! I'll see how long you can keep that calm face!" Fei Lei waved his hand, causing the Beast Flame in his hand to rapidly expand, forming the shape of a grayish-white flame giant insect in midair.
Yun Tianming's eyes lit up slightly. He had to admit that despite Fei Lei's flawed thinking, as a Fourth Rank Alchemist, he had a certain level of skill. His fire control technique was quite adept!
Yu Tianming mimicked the opponent's wave, and a dark purple flame condensed in the palm of his hand.
"What?!"
"What... What kind of Beast Flame is this?"
As an Alchemist, Fei Lei was also knowledgeable about flames and could immediately discern the extraordinary nature of the flame in Yun Tianming's hand.
"It's purple in color, and the flame contains a crystalline structure. Could it be the legendary Sixth Rank Magic Beast, Amethyst Winged Lion King?!"
Fei Lei's expression instantly became serious.
A Sixth Rank Magic Beast could rival a Dou Emperor, and attempting to take the Beast Flame from it was akin to pulling out a tiger's teeth. As for Seventh Rank Magic Beasts... well, that was beyond his knowledge!
"What's wrong? Is a fourth-grade Alchemist only good at talking?"
Yun Tianming deliberately provoked the other.
"Very well! You have successfully angered a fourth-grade Alchemy Master!"
Fei Lei, enraged yet smiling, stopped chattering and urged the gray-white flame insect in the air to bite down on Yun Tianming.
The roaring flames reflected on Yun Tianming's face, revealing an eager and excited expression.
This flame confrontation was his first!
Decisively, he commanded the Extreme Purple Beast Flame to counterattack head-on.
"Boom!"
The gray-white flame and the dark purple flame intertwined and devoured each other.
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
The flame Insect clearly dominated the battle.
"You see? No matter how good the flame is, it depends on who uses it!"
Fei Lei gestured with his hands, manipulating the flame Insect to grow sharp claws and fangs, firmly suppressing the Extreme Purple Beast Flame.
"I see."
Yun Tianming's Soul Perception focused entirely on observing Fei Lei's fire control methods. He replicated the control with the Extreme Purple Beast Flame, transforming it into a flaming lion head form.
"Roar!"
The flaming lion fiercely bit onto the flame Insect, madly tearing at it.
"Damn, how can this flame be so powerful?"
Fei Lei's face showed great surprise. In terms of fire control skills, he could easily outmatch his opponent, but the opponent's flame seemed much stronger than expected.
This doesn't seem right! The difference between a Sixth Rank Beast Flame and a Fifth Rank Beast Flame shouldn't be this significant.
"A Fifth Rank Magic Beast's Beast Flame, is that all?"
Yun Tianming, relying on the advantage of his Seventh Rank Beast Flame, successfully suppressed the opponent's Fifth Rank Beast Flame.
"No matter how skilled you are in fire control, against my overwhelming strength, there's no room for any tricks."
"Boom!"
The flame Insect exploded, and the shockwave from the flaming lion's eruption pushed Fei Lei back several steps.
"You!"
In front of everyone's eyes, a dignified Fourth Rank Alchemist suffered a loss at the hands of a young man, which made Fei Lei feel uncontrollably angry!
However, amidst his anger, Fei Lei's eyes also flashed with a deep greed.
A Sixth Rank Beast Flame, and it might even be a Seventh Rank Beast Flame!!
If he could make this flame his own, then his alchemy success rate would greatly increase. Perhaps this could even be an opportunity to break through the level of a Fifth Rank Alchemist!
In just a few short seconds, Fei Lei had already made up his mind. He must find a way to deal with the young man in front of him and seize the Beast Flame from him!
Of course, everything must be done cautiously. The opponent not only possesses the strength of a 9 Star Dou Master at a young age but also carries a high-level Beast Flame, indicating a significant status.
Even if Fei Lei were to make a move, he couldn't openly attack in broad daylight. If the forces behind the young man were to investigate, it would be a big problem.
"Hmph! Kid, consider yourself lucky today."
Fei Lei's eyes flickered with a sinister light as he unexpectedly chose to retreat on his own.
'Do you want to make a move when there's no one around?'
Yun Tianming's lips curled up, as he also had this intention!
Nowadays, with his Wood and Fire dual attributes, he already has the talent to become an Alchemist.
The only thing lacking is the basic alchemy tools, such as a medicine cauldron, alchemical formulas, and the Alchemist's insights. By gettingthe equipment of this Fourth Rank Alchemist, it could become the starting point for Yun Tianming's path towards becoming an Alchemist.
In this way, the two scheming individuals silently boarded the flying beast.
The huge flying beast's wings slowly flapped, and strands of Wind Attribute energy swirled beneath it, carrying its massive body into the sky.
On the flying beast's back were several simple houses for travelers to rest during the journey.
Yun Tianming randomly chose a room to stay in, closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and began cultivating. He released his Soul Perception and waited for the enemy to take the bait.
"Offend me and still dare to cultivate as if nothing happened?"
Fei Lei's gaze was cold and focused on the room where Yun Tianming was. The fluctuations of Dou Qi emanating from the room indicated that the other party was quietly cultivating. If this was intentionally luring him in, it seemed too obvious, right? However, as a strong Dou Spirit, Fei Lei believed he had a significant advantage over the other party, even if there were traps set.
"Wait and see."
"When this flying beast is far from the city, flying at ten thousand meters high."
"Whether it's killing for treasure or erasing all traces of the crime, it's easy to do!"
Fei Lei was full of confidence in this set of operations, clearly not the first time he had done this. Back in the day, when he was still a novice Alchemist, he had begged a senior Fifth Rank Alchemist to take him as an apprentice, but was rejected on the grounds of his unethical conduct.
In a fit of anger, Fei Lei took the opportunity of traveling on the flying beast to ambush and steal the old guy's equipment, and then kicked him off from ten thousand meters high, without anyone knowing.
