Douluo Continent: Starting with the Burning Blade, he was then entangled with Ma Xiaotao.

Chapter 91 The Heart of the Flame Emperor

"The Ice and Snow Maiden—the Snow Empress."

Inside the observation room, Mu En looked at the girl in front of Lin Feng and slowly spoke.

"The Snow Empress, ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts?! Is it really her?" Yan Shaozhe gasped, his face filled with disbelief.

"I have traversed the continent for over two hundred years and have seen countless genius Soul Masters, but I have never seen one like him before. His future achievements will probably be no less than those of our ancestor Tang San from ten thousand years ago. Shrek Academy can no longer keep him here; we can only do our best to take care of him and avoid making enemies with him," Elder Mu sighed.

Lin Feng's rejection of the Extreme Solo Program and his current refusal to become one of the Shrek Seven Devils demonstrate that his ambitions lie elsewhere than Shrek Academy.

"It seems that Zhou Yi is the only one who has a falling out with him —" Yan Shaozhe quickly thought of the teacher of the freshman class.

Zhou Yi is usually domineering and unreasonable, arbitrarily expelling people and offending many sects and organizations.

Of course, he, as the dean of the Spirit Department, also bore some responsibility for this, having habitually turned a blind eye to Zhou Yi's reckless behavior. After all, a powerful Spirit Emperor is a rare talent anywhere, let alone her husband, Fan Yu, who was a Spirit Douluo and an eighth-level Spirit Master.

There weren't many Soul Masters who stayed in the Inner Academy to work hard and risk their lives; most of them went back to their own homes after graduation, like Dai Yueheng.

"You can make the arrangements as you see fit. Don't leak anything about today's events, not even to Xuanzi, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Lin Feng," Mu En replied.

Yan Shaozhe understood immediately and only left after Lin Feng came out of the room containing the skull of the Fear Demon.

Mu En then brought Lin Feng to his side with a beam of golden light.

He then said, "It seems you've gained quite a bit. Your mental strength is already comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo. I will now pass on another mental technique to you. This technique is called 'Reigning Supreme.'"

Lin Feng knew that he couldn't hide Xue Di's matter from Mu En, so he respectfully replied, "The gains are indeed great, thank you for your guidance, Elder Mu."

After saying that, Mu En released his martial soul, and the terrifying pressure of the Limit Douluo surged towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng couldn't help but release his Flame Dragon Body martial soul to resist.

"This mental technique is not just a perfect combination of physical and mental attacks. Your bloodline, Fire Dragon King, is far superior to mine, Holy Light Dragon. But with the blessing of this technique, I can overcome the bloodline suppression, uphold an emperor's heart, an invincible heart, and directly shatter my opponent's confidence in the final battle."

"What an emperor's heart, an invincible heart," Lin Feng praised.

Even though he possessed the bloodline power of both the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, and even the bloodline of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian was inferior to his, not to mention Mu En's Holy Light Dragon bloodline, at this moment he seemed to be looking up at a Dragon Emperor, becoming incredibly insignificant.

He silently imprinted the mental cultivation method transmitted by Mu En into his spiritual sea, while the aura of his Fiery Dragon Body surged once again.

"This aura?! I shall call you the Flame Emperor." Even the peerless ferocious beast Snow Emperor in the sea of ​​consciousness was shocked by the aura emanating from the Flame Dragon's body at this moment.

"Emperor Yan————"

Lin Feng silently recited this word in his heart. An indescribable state of mind then spread out, which was not an arrogant thought of becoming emperor, but a deeper understanding and resonance with the origin of the strange fire, as if it were the perspective of an emperor looking down on thousands of fires.

Under the influence of this profound state of mind, the nascent form of the newly acquired Vermilion Bird Fire within his body slowly condensed around Lin Feng's heart, as if paying homage to a monarch, and eventually condensed into the source of a different kind of fire.

At this point, he had mastered as many as six different types of strange fire origins within his body.

Back in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he devoured and refined five different fire origins. His Burning Technique should have broken through to the Heaven Rank, but because the Red Dragon True Fire origin was slightly inferior, he was ultimately stuck at the peak of the Earth Rank.

Now, with all five top-tier different flame origins gathered, the Burning Technique has finally evolved to the early stage of the Heavenly Rank.

More importantly, the tempering efficiency of the strange fire brought by the Heavenly Rank Burning Technique far exceeded that of the past, and the original form of the Fire Dragon King True Fire grew much faster.

"A 100,000-year soul ring, formed from the Vermilion Bird's Blazing Fire—good, very good."

Looking at Lin Feng's newly emerged sixth spirit ring, which radiated a red aura, Mu En's eyes flashed with undisguised admiration.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to successfully condense the Vermilion Bird's Fire Origin, Lin Feng condensed this new Strange Fire Soul Ring, breaking through the level 60 bottleneck in one fell swoop and directly stabilizing at the level 65 Soul Emperor realm.

This Vermilion Bird Fire is the foundation for using the Five Wheels Fire Technique. Now that its origin has been condensed, it will undoubtedly be more powerful and easier to use.

Mu En sensed the "Heart of the Flame Emperor" emanating from Lin Feng, which was subtly equal to, or even more intensely pure than, his own domineering state of mind. He slowly withdrew the gentle pressure that had enveloped the room.

He knew that this boy, in terms of mindset and will, had truly reached a level where he could have an equal dialogue with him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Mu. I have benefited greatly from it." Lin Feng let out a long sigh, calming his turbulent blood and soul power, and bowed respectfully to Mu En. This guidance and the cultivation environment provided were indeed important to him.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "There is indeed something. I—want to try to devour Dean Xian Lin'er's Azure Dragon Flame in order to condense the rudimentary form of a different kind of fire. However—"

He paused for a moment, then said frankly, "As Teacher Yan's personal disciple, I have been unable to speak up because Teacher Yan and Dean Xian have such deep entanglements and my status is inconvenient."

Upon hearing this, Mu En showed no surprise on his aged face, as if he had expected it. He nodded readily: "The entanglement between the two is indeed difficult to handle. I will make the decision. I will speak to Lin'er. You should prepare yourself; once she agrees, you will be given the opportunity to try."

His words were calm, yet carried an undeniable weight.

After bidding farewell to Mu En, Lin Feng first went to Yan Shaozhe to absorb some of the Bright Phoenix Flame, and with the blessing of the Heavenly Rank Burning Technique, he successfully condensed the rudimentary form of the Origin.

Not far from Mingfeng Courtyard, Lin Feng saw a familiar, aloof figure waiting under an ancient tree by the roadside—it was Ling Luochen.

"Xiaofeng, you've finally come out." Ling Luochen greeted him quickly, her icy blue eyes showing a rare hint of urgency.

"It's only been three days, and you miss me that much, Senior Sister?" Lin Feng smiled and teased.

Ling Luochen glared at him lightly, but didn't refute him. She simply lowered her voice and said, "Of course I want to—I have something to say. Come with me, I have something to give you—I couldn't give it to you before when the teachers were all here."

After saying that, she naturally took Lin Feng's hand and turned to leave.

"So mysterious." Lin Feng let her pull him along, feeling a little curious.

Ling Luochen led him all the way to her single dormitory room. After closing the door, she took out something from her personal storage soul tool. It was a crystal-clear, emerald-green soul bone that exuded a chilling aura.

"The Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm bone?" Lin Feng recognized it at a glance; it was the very piece from the competition's reward. "Senior Sister, you haven't fused with it yet?"

"It was originally meant for you." Ling Luochen handed the soul bone to him, her tone calm yet firm. "Before, in front of Elder Xuan and Teacher Wang, I couldn't make a decision on my own. But now—I can make my own decision."

"This is the left arm bone of an Ice Jade Scorpion that is around 60,000 years old. Its value is no less than that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul bone, and it is extremely compatible with you—Senior Sister, are you really willing to part with it?" Lin Feng replied thoughtfully.
