Without any unnecessary chatter, Ji Dong immediately plunged back into his skill training. Flame had already made up her mind at that moment, but she couldn't help but glance at Ji Dong's left hand. The faintly visible burned wound on his fingers indicated he had used his own flames to stop the bleeding.
Gazing into the cup containing the fine wine, Flame had the first inkling of hesitation about drinking it.
Just then, with Ji Dong executing Sun Swallow and Dark Moon Claw once again, his body froze. Behind him, a golden sun ray silently flashed across, followed by a dark moonlight. Ji Dong swayed slightly where he stood, and managed to turn his head towards Flame, "I ... succeeded."
Having achieved success after a thousand tries, Ji Dong's Ultimate Dual Fire erupted within him, but the taut string in his heart quietly snapped, and he fell rigidly to the ground.
