"It's... it's a success."

Xu Ran nodded slightly.

Tiger Girl was full of energy: "Congratulations, but did the abilities of the second stage appear?"

Zhu Yuheng shook her head: "Not yet... but I have a feeling. The method is correct! If I can get a little stronger, maybe I can bear the abilities of the second stage."

Excitement appeared on Tiger Girl's face, her bright eyes looked at Xu Ran.

"Brother Xiao Ran, you really are amazing."

Xu Ran smiled lightly: "Of course I am. Standing before you is the terminator of divine-level monsters [Nightmare Vengeful Mother], [Flying Head Ghost], the nightmare of [Unyielding Celestial Calamity], the principal's magical conch, a walking wishing well, Miracle Root Bone..."

Tiger Girl smiled warmly: "I'll give you that!"

"But, can Sister Yuheng use another drop of the Infinite Calamity Flame?"

She knew Sister Yuheng was too shy to ask, but she was thick-skinned!

Hearing this, Zhu Yuheng's head lowered. The Infinite Calamity Flame was extremely precious, having consumed one drop already left her unsure of how to repay it, and now another drop?

Her face was thin-skinned...

Xu Ran nodded slightly: "How much Qi Blood Value do you have?"

Tiger Girl answered instantly: "19,760 points, exactly 13,000 more than me."

Xu Ran glanced at Tiger Girl; her relationship with Zhu Yuheng far exceeded other super geniuses. It seemed she particularly liked this delicate "sister."

Could it be she has a thing for white hair?

Xu Ran pondered for a moment: "You can try using one more drop. There's no issue with your intuition, right?"

Zhu Yuheng nodded weakly: "No... I feel I can handle one more drop of the flame. But wanting the ability of the second stage might take ten drops; isn't that a bit much?"

The appearance of the Infinite Calamity Flame even brightened Zhu Yuheng, making her speech more fluent.

Xu Ran smiled warmly: "Not too much."

"Once you find the path, no matter the expense, it's worth it, and once this path is cleared, it will be smooth sailing in the future. There are still 310 days until the national Godslaying Squad selection competition, you don't have to worry, you can definitely get a ranking with your physical strength, and then join my Godslaying Squad."

Zhu Yuheng looked up at Xu Ran, her blue eyes showing surprise: "Huh?"

Xu Ran's gaze was calm: "Others might not know the greatness of the Time Root Bone, but how could I not? You're my choice. Properly utilizing [All Things Stagnation] is a divine skill, not to mention there are the second and third stage abilities afterward?"

"I cultivated you with the Infinite Calamity Flame; I certainly can't just hand you over to someone else, right? Then I'd have a big loss?"

Tiger Girl pouted: "Didn't you say you'd join my team? I was obviously the first to invite! I obviously came first!"

Xu Ran glanced at Tiger Girl: "Only my team can use the Infinite Calamity Flame. Do you have the Infinite Calamity Flame? Can you enhance her physical strength?"

Tiger Girl immediately drooped her little head: "No... "

Xu Ran declared victory: "Then that's it. Your brother will always be your brother."

"Then I want the Infinite Calamity Flame too. I also want to join your team!"

Xu Ran patted Tiger Girl's head: "And you don't want to fight for the top ten to lead your own team?"

Tiger Girl's bright eyes twinkled: "With Yuheng taken by you, what's the point in leading a team? Besides, I also want the Infinite Calamity Flame, hehe..."

She laughed like she was looking at a cake.

Xu Ran waved his hand: "Alright, alright, we'll talk about your Infinite Calamity Flame later, first let those who need it use it."

As he spoke,

Xu Ran turned his gaze to Zhu Yuheng: "Sit back on the Cultivation Platform."

"Okay..."

Zhu Yuheng obediently continued to sit cross-legged.

Silently, the second bloom of the Infinite Calamity Flame emerged from Xu Ran's palm. It flickered quietly, oddly mystical, the aura of destruction spreading, yet containing pure vitality.

Tiger Girl couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Xiao Ran, how much of your flame is there, is it hard to get?"

Xu Ran: "Not particularly hard..."

Tiger Girl nodded her little head, holding her breath as she stood by.

For at that moment, Xu Ran extended his hand, passing the dark flame to Zhu Yuheng...

Zhu Yuheng's body trembled instinctively, not out of fear, but because the pain of the flame burning her body was already imprinted in the depths of her soul; her body shivered uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath of air, forcing the coolness into her lungs.

Zhu Yuheng's gaze was determined, her palms cupped, the black flame fell into her palms.

"Boom——"

As if the flame met gasoline.

The black flame spread over every corner of Zhu Yuheng's body in an instant, igniting every terminal cell in a roaring blaze.

Her fair arms, elegant neck, delicate cheeks...

The black flame appeared, enough to burn the flesh into ashes, burning her internal organs, her limbs and bones, her billions of cells...

It was just a moment.

She was already on the brink of death.

But that was just a millisecond before death.

Time suddenly stopped!

The previous scene reappeared...

The space-time passage behind Zhu Yuheng slowly unfolded, twisting and turning, spreading to the end of space and time.

A series of white-haired little girls from future points, shared the intensity of the black flame, their bodies burned with black holes...

The black flame spread along the space-time passage.

Meeting a little girl, burning a little girl.

Burning all the way to the end of the space-time passage.

Burned on the exquisitely beautiful white-haired girl of delicate branches and fruits.

She still wore not a stitch, her skin as white and smooth as jade, like a porcelain artwork, being tempered by the black flame.

The black flame not only didn't destroy her but made her more holy and sacred — slender where willow-like, full where pearl-and-jade, every inch of skin, crystal clear, emanating an awe-inspiring beauty.
