System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

On that boundless sea shrouded in ancient legends, Zhang Hao and his companions were struggling to navigate the spiral coral maze, surrounded by a complex, colorful, yet perilous underwater landscape.

Everyone on board had a furrowed brow, their eyes filled with fear and confusion about the unknown.

The wind seemed ominous, blowing against our faces like cold blades, cutting away at everyone's hopes.

The crew members, either numb from their long lives at sea or choosing to flee out of awe of the unknown, mostly did not believe that this young man, Zhang Hao, could have any special abilities to lead them out of the seemingly hopeless spiral coral maze.

Just as despair was spreading through the cabin, as if even the air had solidified into heavy lead, the weather suddenly changed, and an unprecedented storm swept in without warning.

Dark clouds filled the sky, as if a giant splatter of ink had been poured over it, instantly swallowing up the last ray of sunlight.

The waves, like angry beasts, crashed against the fragile hull one after another, creating a deafening roar.

The ship rocked violently, each jolt sending shivers down my spine, as if it would shatter and sink into the unfathomable depths of the sea at any moment.

Just then, something even more unbelievable happened.

A raging fire inexplicably broke out on the sea surface. The flames were an eerie blue-purple, like ghostly fire. Instead of being extinguished by the storm, they grew even stronger, as if they had their own life and will.

Upon seeing this, the captain and crew turned ashen-faced, their eyes filled with despair and fear.

Their voices trembled as they whispered the ancient legend of "Dragonfire," a fire in water that could devour everything and was irresistible even to the gods.

"It's done, we're done!"

The captain's voice sounded particularly desolate in the wind and rain.

"Once the dragon fire is unleashed, no one can escape; this ship and this sea will both turn to ashes."

However, Zhang Hao remained remarkably calm amidst this abyss of despair.

There was no panic in his eyes; instead, they shone with an indescribable light.

Zhang Hao once acquired and fused with a dragon fire at an auction at the New Moon Hotel, giving him the ability to control dragon fire, which is now proving useful.

Faced with the crew's despair and the ship's imminent collapse, Zhang Hao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate.

His heartbeat gradually synchronized with the rhythm of the waves, as if he had achieved a wonderful resonance with the ocean, the sky, and even the mysterious dragon fire.

With a thought, the dragon fire that had been raging across the sea began to slowly gather, as if drawn by an invisible force, and flowed slowly toward Zhang Hao's body.

This scene left all the crew members present dumbfounded; they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

The flames that were originally powerful enough to destroy everything became gentle and mild around Zhang Hao, surrounding him as if they were his most loyal guardians.

Zhang Hao's body gradually became transparent under the illumination of the dragon fire, and powerful forces emanated from his body, making him look like a fire god descended to earth.

"Don't worry, everyone. Just do as I say!"

Zhang Hao's voice was firm and powerful, piercing through the noise of the wind and rain and reaching everyone's ears.

He stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the dragonfire surrounding him began to act according to his will, like obedient children.

They transformed into streaks of light, weaving through the storm, not only stabilizing the swaying ship but also creating a passage to the outside world.

Upon seeing this, the captain and crew knelt down, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

They knew that Zhang Hao had single-handedly saved the entire fleet, allowing them to be reborn from the abyss of despair.

They chanted Zhang Hao's name, regarding him as a savior, or even a god descending from heaven.

"Zhang Hao, you are our hero! You are our god!"

The captain's voice echoed through the wind and rain, filled with gratitude and reverence.

Seeing this, the other crew members also knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhang Hao.

"Alright, the storm is getting bigger, everyone stop wasting time and listen to my instructions."

"Yes!"

The captain and crew, who initially didn't believe Zhang Hao was capable, had completely changed their attitude and now agreed to whatever Zhang Hao said.

"Full speed ahead in the direction I've indicated!"

At this point, everyone on the boat lost their bearings and couldn't tell which way was which. Zhang Hao could only point to the direction and tell the boatmen to start the boat.

With Zhang Hao's calm and powerful command, the crew members quickly sprang into action, and the previously chaotic ship was instantly restored to a semblance of order.

Although they were still shaken, their eyes now held a newfound determination and trust.

Under Zhang Hao's guidance, the boatmen steered the fishing boat with all their might, moving at full speed in the direction he indicated.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Zhang Hao seemed to be a guide for this sea, leading everyone through the storm and searching for a way to survive.

Under his control, the dragon fire sometimes transformed into a sturdy shield, resisting the onslaught of the raging storm; at other times, it transformed into a sharp blade, cleaving through the giant waves blocking its path. Each impact of the waves was easily neutralized by this mysterious power, gradually stabilizing the originally swaying ship.

The captain and crew stared intently at Zhang Hao's figure, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude.

They had never seen such magical power, let alone imagined that a young man could possess such extraordinary abilities.

Under Zhang Hao's leadership, they seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and their fear and confusion about the unknown were gradually replaced by courage and determination.

"Zhang Hao, you are our god!"

The captain couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his voice trembling slightly, a mixture of awe for the unknown power and amazement at Zhang Hao's abilities.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly, his gaze deep and resolute.

"You are all working for me; it's fate."

He said it briefly, without revealing much about his secret.

As the fishing boats continued to move forward, the storm on the sea seemed to subside.

Although the sky was still overcast, the raging waves were no longer as violent as before.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Hao used the power of the dragon fire to guide the fishing boat to a safer route, avoiding one potential danger after another.

Finally, after countless thrilling moments, the fishing boat broke through the spiral coral maze and returned to the open sea.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on everyone's faces, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

"Zhang Hao! Zhang Hao!" The crew members surrounded Zhang Hao, expressing their gratitude and respect for him with the most sincere emotions.

They knew that without Zhang Hao's bravery and wisdom, they could not have survived in such a desperate situation.

"Look, what is that!"

As soon as the fishing boat left the coral spiral, a boatman pointed ahead and exclaimed in surprise.
