Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 4: Strange Fire? The Transformation of a Dog
Nalan Yanran did not immediately achieve the goal of this trip, but in her eyes, the ending was already set in stone, and only time remained as the final witness.

She once considered using Elder Ge Ye's powerful strength as a seven-star master and Liu Ling's status as the direct disciple of Dan King Gu He to further exert pressure and force the Xiao family to surrender.

After all, under the current circumstances, the Xiao family's strongest fighter, Xiao Zhan, is only at the level of a beginner Grand Dou Shi. Furthermore, offending Liu Ling would be tantamount to antagonizing Gu He. The consequences of offending a fifth-grade alchemist are even more severe than offending a Dou Huang master. After all, alchemists are renowned for their extensive connections; behind a fifth-grade alchemist could be several Dou Huang masters, or even the power of an entire sect.

However, she had keenly sensed Elder Ge Ye's discontent. Although Liu Ling would help her almost unconditionally, he was still an outsider. The Yunlan Sect didn't have much influence over Gu He, let alone Liu Ling, who had virtually no financial ties with the Yunlan Sect.

Elder Ge Ye is one of the few people in his camp, so it is not advisable to discourage him too much before he inherits the position of sect leader.

In addition to the three-year agreement, she and Xiao Yan were still nominally engaged during these three years, and this could also be used to ward off the pursuit of other men inside and outside the sect.

For example, Liu Ling, she refused many times.

But all this was still an uncertain choice before Zhongli arrived, and his arrival completely pushed Nalan Yanran's choice to the current result.

The three-year agreement was a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Nalan Yanran. She also didn't believe that Xiao Yan, who had spent three years cultivating from a three-star fighter to the third level of fighting spirit, would be able to catch up with her in the next three years, who had a high chance of being promoted to a great fighter.

"But the existence of Zhongli is indeed an uncertain factor." Nalan Yanran murmured, holding her cheek lightly.

The noise outside the carriage quickly drowned out Nalan Yanran's whispers, but the shaking of the carriage could not compete with Liu Ling's focused and fast ability to receive information.

Liu Ling said with a smug look on her face, "Yanran, there's no need to worry about that Zhongli. From what I've seen, he's just a thug hired by the Xiao family. Since he can condense Dou Qi fire, it means his cultivation level is around Dou Ling."

"Elder Ge Ye, do you think so too? But the feeling that Zhongli gave me at the time was indeed very terrifying." Nalan Yanran did not completely believe Liu Ling's words, so she asked about Ge Ye, the strongest person on this trip.

Ge Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, "What Young Master Liu Ling said should be correct. Zhongli is definitely stronger than me. As for his true realm, I think he's probably at a seven or eight-star Dou Ling. Although his manipulation of fire is extremely skillful, and I felt a little shocked at one point, thinking about it more, it was more of a visual impact and the unexpected sudden increase in temperature around him, and no actual damage. I guess he's also afraid of our powerful Yunlan Sect."

"Oh~~~" Nalan Yanran nodded, seeming to understand, but after a moment, her brows furrowed again. "Then what is the God of Fire he's talking about? And who is Morax?"

When Liu Ling saw his point of view win Nalan Yanran's approval, his heart could not help but float to the clouds. Speaking of fire, as a senior disciple of the Dan King, he believed that he had unique insights and authority on this topic.

"Yanran, you don't know this. We alchemists are all experts in playing with fire. Speaking of the God of Fire... emmmm, I heard from my teacher that in the Douqi Continent, there is a type of fire known as the king of flames, the god of flames. That is the Strange Fire. As the saying goes, when the Strange Fire appears, all other fires submit. The God of Fire naturally refers to the Strange Fire."

Liu Ling's words flowed like flowing water. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into the minds of the three people at the same time, and they realized a crucial piece of information.

"According to what you said, Zhongli has tamed a kind of strange fire?" Although Nalan Yanran is not an alchemist, she has learned about this famous wonder in the world from the Yunlan Sect's library.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's expression froze, then changed from being stunned to being ecstatic.

A few days ago, his teacher Gu He was thinking of taking him to find a kind of beast fire as his first fire. If he had not accompanied Nalan Yanran to cancel the engagement, he would probably have possessed some kind of beast fire by now.

"But what if I could possess a strange fire?" Liu Ling bit his fingers unconsciously in ecstasy. He couldn't bear to think about what would happen if he snatched the strange fire from Zhongli. The first alchemist of the Jiama Empire.

The Yunlan Sect's dedicated training and attention.

All the connections of your teacher.

Even the Yunlan Sect would break the feudal and decadent rules because of him and forcibly bind him to the Yunlan Sect through marriage.

Sect Leader Yun Yun doted on Nalan Yanran so much, so naturally she didn't want Yanran to become another victim of this sect rule after her.

The old master of Yunshan would definitely be willing to accept a disciple-in-law whose potential is destined to surpass Gu He.

After all, surpassing the teacher means becoming a seventh-grade alchemist, and even Dou Zong would treat a seventh-grade alchemist with courtesy. Maybe he could even become the old sect master's benefactor!
The more Liu Ling thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he gradually forgot that he was still in the real world.

Nalan Yanran rolled her eyes every day. After all, she felt embarrassed about Liu Ling, who was fantasizing about something. She could only hold her forehead and shake her head helplessly.

"Why did I bring such a shameful thing out? Next time, even if he kneels down in front of me and begs me, I will never take him out."

When Liu Ling came to her senses, she naturally saw all of Nalan Yanran's little movements.

In the past, he might have started to apologize without thinking, although he didn't know why he was apologizing, nor did he know what he did wrong.

But Liu Ling is no longer the same as before!
He glanced at Nalan Yanran sideways, then turned his head with a proud expression.

"Once I get Zhongli's Strange Fire with the help of my teacher, I will be the benefactor of Yunlan Sect's old master Yunshan. You, the young master, will then just wait obediently for the old master's marriage proposal, hahaha."

Liu Ling's heart became more and more anxious and excited. If it were not for the fact that he could not reveal his purpose for the time being, he would have wanted to jump off the carriage directly, transform his fighting spirit into a horse and gallop back to Yunlan Sect at a speed of 800 miles.

Nalan Yanran didn't ask any more questions. After all, the fact that Zhongli possessed the strange fire was already a shocking piece of information. As for the God of Contract, Morax...

She had often spent time in the library when she was a child, and she had never even heard of it. There was no family with the surname Mora in the Jia Ma Empire, and there were not so many words related to "God" in the Dou Qi Continent. Nalan Yanran had only seen on an ancient parchment that in ancient times, there was a rank division of Dou Shen Emperor above Dou Di, but that parchment was found by Nalan Yanran in the light novel module, so she just treated it as entertainment.

"The strange fire is indeed a natural treasure that even the Yunlan Sect dares not despise. Such a rare item cannot be given to anyone but the Xiao family!"
