Xuefeng was seated in a meditative posture, his eyes closed and his face etched in a peaceful smile. The Earth Flame he had absorbed was a fascinating entity, a molten sphere of scorching energy that throbbed and pulsated within him. It was a force of untamed power, yet it responded to his commands, merging seamlessly with his own Fire Qi to create a fiery concoction of unimaginable power.
His eyes suddenly snapped open, locking onto the multiple sources of golden flames that danced around him and his group. With a flex of his wrist, the Fire Stone embedded within his Elemental Bracelet shone brightly, as if a miniature sun had taken residence on his arm.
For a fleeting moment, the golden flames that danced around everyone seemed to freeze, their flickering movements ceasing, held in suspension by an invisible hand. Xuefeng only smiled as the flames obeyed an invisible command and converged around him in a hypnotic swirl, spiraling like loyal subjects around a king.
