LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episode 7's. The Burning Pain
Under the darkness of the dark forest, a young boy was holding back the immense pain from within his body.
The burning feeling made him feel like he was inside a fire that was devouring his body.
He was Ling Yan, finally after 2 months of being in the outer part of the dark forest, Ling Yan finally managed to gather his profound strength and break through to the level of a 4-star novice swordsman by absorbing the demon power core he killed.
On the first day Ling Yan entered the forest, Ling Yan met a level 1 fire fox demon that was equivalent to the strength of a 5-star novice swordsman because he was still fairly young.
With great difficulty and a hint of luck, Ling Yan managed to kill the demon and absorb the core of its power, but just like before the profound energy he had accumulated just disappeared.
The essence of demon power was a magical crystal that every demon possessed when he lived, it could be said that the crystal was a strength as well as a life for demons.
In addition to being useful for increasing inner strength in swordsmen, the stealth strength core can also be used as a resource pill concocting ingredient needed by many warriors.
The next day Ling Yan passed by constantly moving places and continued to avoid the pursuit of demons living in the forest.
Sometimes he also fought with demons who tried to chase after him if he felt able to defeat the demon and absorb the core of his strength.
Unexpectedly after 1 month and 20 days of being inside the dark forest, Ling Yan was finally able to gather the inner strength he had and break through his level.
Meanwhile, when combined with the physical strength he had after being inside the forest, Ling Yan was already able to compensate for the strength of a six-star novice swordsman, it could be seen from Ling Yan's burly and muscular body shape.
But after successfully breaking through his tiers 3 days ago, Ling Yan met a level 2 fire-tailed ape demon that was equivalent to a combat swordsman's ability.
Ling Yan initially tried to escape from the demon chase, but because he was tired of running away and the fire-tailed monkey still chased after him he chose to fight the fire-tailed monkey.
As Ling Yan chose to fight against the fire-tailed ape, Ling Yan used the thousand blows wind technique that his father had given him.
Although he had not been able to master the technique of a thousand blows of wind and he had only used his physical strength, it turned out that Ling Yan had managed to defeat the demon with a single strike using the technique, as well as the one that he had managed to overcome, even though it was completely opposite to the fire element he had.
He thought it turned out that the style given by his father was not just a high-level skill, even he who had just mastered the technique was only able to kill level 2 demons with only physical strength alone.
After successfully killing the fire-tailed ape demon, Ling Yan then absorbed his power core and re-formed his inner power.
But three days later after absorbing that demon power core, Ling Yan felt a heat rush out from within his body that made him feel like he was burning.
"Why does my body suddenly feel so hot like it's burning, what is this side effect of absorbing the fire element's demon power core." Her speech.
"Akhh!!" Ling Yan tried to hold back his screaming voice while holding back the burning heat from within his body so as not to provoke the arrival of the demons that were around him.
"Akhh!! I must try to restrain my voice so as not to provoke the arrival of the demons that are around here, otherwise, it will be very dangerous for me." Inner Ling Yan.
But no matter how hard Ling Yan tried to hold back his screaming voice, that overwhelming heat forced him to shout as loudly as possible and managed to lure a horde of level 2 red wolf stealth towards where he was.
The red wolf pack slowly approached Ling Yan who was in pain, one of them was now only a few steps away from him.
The wolf jumped up and pounced on Ling Yan, but without moving a single bit from its place, suddenly an aura of fire came out from within Ling Yan's body and made the wolf that was pouncing on him bounce and hit on a large rock that made the wolf die instantly.
"What happened, how could." Ling Yan who saw the incident could only be puzzled by what was going on actually.
Coinciding with the outflow of that fire aura, Ling Yan also already did not feel any pain anymore, either, even this time he felt that his body was filled with a lot of profound energy and had broken through the ranks of a three-star warrior.
Meanwhile the herd of red wolves that saw one of his comrades die just like that instantly escaped from where Ling Yan was.
Ling Yan who had just realized that he now had the strength of a 3-star warrior immediately had a cheerful expression even to the point of jumping to and fro.
"Bahhhh!!! I finally reached the strength of a 3-star warrior, uh but how could my power level rise in an instant." Ling Yan stopped to think for a moment.
However, after a while, he threw away his mind and changed his expression again to be very happy.
"Ah I don't care anymore, the important thing is now that I've become a hahahaha warrior." Said Ling Yan while laughing happily.
But after a while he laughed happily, a voice that sounded from within his mind stopped his excitement.
"Hahahaha Ling's family boy, you've just become a 3-star warrior, why are you so happy like that." Say that voice.
Ling Yan who heard the mysterious voice in his mind now gasped in shock and abruptly stopped his laughter and looked for where the voice came from.
"Who are you, show yourself, and what do you want from me." Ling Yan looked as if he was watching his surroundings and looking for the owner of the voice.
"Based on a foolish boy, there's no need to bother looking for me, because I'm inside you." Say that voice again.
"Inside of me? but how come you're inside me, when you get in." Ling Yan asked confusedly.
"You are a fool and a lousy boy, I am a part of you, I am a burning fire in your body, and I have been protecting you all this time." Answer the mysterious voice.
"Protect me all this time, what do you mean, when did you protect me?" Ling Yan again asked with a puzzled expression.
Ling Yan then recalled the moment
he was playing with Ling Mei near a ravine when he was a child.
At that time he was playing a chase with Ling Mei and accidentally slipped to the bottom of the abyss, although not too deep, the ravine could at least kill him.
But whatever saved his life, Ling Yan managed to survive and was not injured in the slightest.
