Meanwhile, in one of the bars of Jade Spear city. A group of four female players quietly sipped their drinks and enjoyed their drinks.
In the Realm of spirituality, one is able to feel the taste of drinks and food alike. In fact, all the five senses are working well as if it were real. Even the so called sixth sense was working quite efficiently.
"I thought you said Xuan Yuan would be joining us soon" One of the female players said
"He's completing a quest, he'll join us soon" Fairy Lotus, Bai Qingyuan who was among the four girls said.
"Humph... which guy joins a team of females, he's really a dumb one as they call him" Another said lazily.
"You call him a guy? He's been bullied since day one and he always relied on Qingyuan to defend him. How can we accept such a guy in our team?" The last one among them said. It's obvious they were Xuan Yuan and Bai Qingyuan's classmates.
"And he even cannot muster courage to court Qingyuan, despite being head over heels for her. I wonder why you always stand up for him, Qingyuan"
"Could you have fallen for him?"
"Of course not!" Qingyuan waved her hands "I just feel something helpless about him. Being bullied all day for a long time is not fun after all!"
"There you go, Mrs. Xuan. Speaking up for him even in his absence"
"Oh! don't call me that..."
Before Bai Qingyuan could complete her sentence, clouds gathered above the city and the system mechanic voice boomed throughout the city.
The announcement sent a shock wave throughout the entire city. The Flame castle was a level 20 dungeon and players have tried raiding it before. But even with a team led by a Tier 1 expert, they were unable to slay the Boss, but now it's not cleared by a Top tier team or guild but by a solo player. Many were astonished...
"Sage Yuan... it can't be" Bai Qingyuan muttered to herself...
On the other hand, Xuan Yuan after slaying the boss, he rested for a bit before walking over to pick the loots.
'This Wylie sure is rich, his first kill dropped so much!'
Around Wylie's corpse, Xuan Yuan picked a staff radiating Flame aura, a skill book and a bunch of silver coins.

Xuan Yuan sighed, 'This Boss is so biased! How could he drop only items for Mages, after being slayed by a Swordman? This Boss even exacted his revenge even after dead!'
I'll have to sell it later then.
Xuan Yuan said and shifted his focus to the Crimson ball of Flame sitting on the Altar. This was the reason he came to this place. He walked over and took the Flame.
'Damn!! That's so hot!' He shouted as he returned the Flame back to the altar. 'This will burn my bag if I keep it there!' Xuan Yuan grumbled as he felt an headache 'How to bring this Flame out now?'
Xuan Yuan was exasperated. It was just like a thief who went through so much to steal a bag of money only to discover that it's not spendable!!
As he was just about to cry! A system notification echoed in his ears.
Xuan Yuan accepted without hesitation. He had no choice anyway, he had to absorb it immediately if he wanted to bring it out. As soon as he clicked Accept, The Ball of Flame burst with crimson light and turned into a fiery spirit that entered his body. "Aaaah!!" Xuan Yuan cried as he felt a wave of hotness ravage throughout his entire body. It felt as if his body was inside Hell itself! At the same time a absorption rate bar appeared in front of him. Xuan Yuan struggled to stay put as he withstood the extreme heat. It felt as if he was burning alive with crimson Flames burning all around him as the absorption bar slowly filled up. 10%... 20%... 30%... 60%... 70%... By the time Xuan Yuan absorbed 70% of the Flame he was already at his wit's end. He even considered cancelling the absorption. 'But that'd waste all my efforts!... I can't perish here, I must withstand it!' He endured with all his might as the bar filled up rather slowly. 80%... 90%... 92%... 95%... 99%... Just as Xuan Yuan was about to be burned to Ashes, the Crimson Flames burning on his body suddenly vanished along with the absorption bar. 'Huh? Did I fail?' He wondered Xuan Yuan sighed in relief as he heard the notification...
