Dashing Student

In the inn room, Chen Nan was engulfed by black flames, a terrifying heat permeating the room, seeming to melt everything.

However, Chen Nan possessed the Heaven-Burning Flame, ranked twenty-seventh, but its temperature was not weaker than other Spiritual Fires, so the Mo Ying Flame did not cause him any harm, only burned his clothes.

After a wisp of Mo Ying Flame completely merged into his body, Chen Nan inhaled another wisp of black flame, this time, black fire spewed from his ears and nostrils.

The whole person appeared extraordinarily eerie.

When he opened his eyes, his pupils were also dyed black by the flames, and black flame patterns started spreading from his body, crawling up to his face along his neck.

Such a bizarre scene lasted for a long time before those flame patterns slowly faded away.

Just like that, Chen Nan bit by bit refined the Mo Ying Flame, possibly because of the goodwill from the previous owner, the Mo Ying Flame did not resist Chen Nan much.

Thus, it only took one day for Chen Nan to refine the Mo Ying Flame completely, and he finally understood why the Mo Ying Flame ranked ninth.

"Refining the flame, can actually control shadows?"

Chen Nan spread his five fingers, and black flames appeared lightly dancing in his palm, then the flame flew up, directly landed in the corner of the room, merging with the shadow.

He hooked his finger, and that shadow began to deform and twist, slowly bulging, acquiring a solid form, appearing in the room like a black-skinned monster.

The shadow could freely change shape, whether into weapons or armor, easily transforming, because the Mo Ying Flame was integrated into the shadow, it carried extremely high temperatures, with significant power.

After playing for a while, Chen Nan snapped his fingers, and the shadow lost its life, instantly fell back to the floor, recovering its original state.

This was the ability of the Mo Ying Flame to control shadows; even when his strength reached a certain level, he could directly control others' shadows to inflict harm.

Meanwhile, after refining the Mo Ying Flame, Chen Nan gained another ability.

With a slight movement of his heart, his body unexpectedly appeared in the shadow, this was the special ability brought by the Mo Ying Flame, enabling stealth within shadows.

Previously, Li Nushuang demonstrated ghostly speed when dealing with Wu Yuan, thinking it relied on the shadow stealth ability of the Mo Ying Flame.

"This little life-saving technique adds another variant, even strengthening my power considerably."

Chen Nan was delighted, the stronger his power, the closer he was to Nie Xiaoyu.

Inspecting internally, he found the Mo Ying Flame now melded with the Heaven-Burning Flame, even vaguely forming a Tai Chi pattern, one gold, one black, remarkably harmonious.

After refining the Mo Ying Flame, Chen Nan took out the blood-colored gourd, at this moment, the gourd still contained unfinished Blood Spirit Pill along with a lot of fresh blood.

The entire gourd emitted waves of sinister energy.

"Since it can't be burnt, it means it's a good treasure, just used by Wu Yuan for evil."

Chen Nan sighed and was ready to destroy all the blood and Blood Spirit Pill, only retaining the blood-colored gourd, might be useful later.

After all, the space inside the Blood Gourd was large, could store a lot of things.

But just when he poured out the Blood Spirit Pill from the gourd, the King of Ten Thousand Gu, who had been sleeping, suddenly woke up, and without Chen Nan's consent, it appeared directly before the Blood Spirit Pill.

Chen Nan could sense the strong desire coming from the King of Ten Thousand Gu.

"Uh... You want to eat this too? Won't it spoil your stomach?"

The Blood Spirit Pill could help a Cultivator break through bottlenecks, yet correspondingly, it could drive Cultivators insane, even risking derangement.

But the King of Ten Thousand Gu paid no heed, merely drooling over the Blood Spirit Pill.

Chen Nan pondered and still fed the Blood Spirit Pill to the King of Ten Thousand Gu, since it was unfinished, presumably without strong side effects.

Swallowing the Blood Spirit Pill whole, the King of Ten Thousand Gu enjoyed closing its eyes.

However, at this moment, its body unexpectedly emerged with blood-colored lines.

The blood lines were faint, yet crawled over the body of the King of Ten Thousand Gu, even making its aura slightly stronger, its body seemed to have grown, now measuring five feet long.

"Little one, you're okay?"

Chen Nan patted the King of Ten Thousand Gu's head, anxious to inquire.

The King of Ten Thousand Gu opened its eyes, a strange red gleam flashed across, then returned to its previously naive state, as if the Blood Spirit Pill had no effect, merely a supplement.

"Good you're okay, but best not eat such stuff in the future, worry you'll damage your brain."

Returning the King of Ten Thousand Gu to his Dantian, Chen Nan emptied the Blood Gourd, rinsing multiple times with clear water, then began refining.

The Blood Gourd counted as a Secret Treasure, so Chen Nan cut his finger, drop blood to refine.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan was dead, thus refining was effortless.

The speed of refining the Blood Gourd was much faster than refining the Mo Ying Flame, in a mere cup of tea's time, refinement completed.

Chen Nan held the gourd, aiming its mouth at the table in the room, moved his heart, the gourd mouth emitted strong suction.

And the table in the room was directly sucked into the gourd.

"Heh, heh, good for storing things too."

Chen Nan laughed twice, opened the gourd, and the table was spat out.

After digesting the harvest from this battle, Chen Nan consumed Healing Pills, stayed in the room overnight, then stepped out.

In mere two days, Gu Ming issued a challenge to Chen Nan, and the news of his absence stirred rumors, even the inn was abuzz in discussions.

Arriving at Song Ya's next door room, Song Ya's eyes lit up seeing Chen Nan, directly I latching onto Chen Nan's arm.

"Chen Nan, Chen Nan, you finally came out, I was bored to death in the room!"

"Also, that Gu Ming is too detestable, saying you won't dare to fight, not worthy of the tenth place on the Hidden Dragon List."

Chen Nan ruffled her hair, chuckling: "Let him talk, I won't lose a piece of flesh, what does it matter."

"But you, supposed to find your clan, yet focusing on such matters?"

Song Ya pouted with a sad face, saying: "But I can't find them, my people must be hiding, how could they appear?"

This remark awakened Chen Nan suddenly with joy.

"Oh right, they are all hiding, we surely can't find them, but we can make them come to us!"

"What? How's that possible?"

Song Ya widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe.

"Heh, heh, with you here, worry they can't find us?" Chen Nan's smile took a dangerous turn.

"You… what will you do?" Song Ya hugged her shoulders, looking pitifully.

Quickly, another news spread in East Qing City.

A Blood Moon Cat Demon appeared in the city!
