Qi Hongbo stared blankly, hardly daring to believe his own eyes.
He had been so arrogant precisely because he relied on this wisp of pale blue Strange Fire.
In his view, with the Strange Fire in hand, no one present, except for the Curse Goddess, was a match for him.
But what he never expected was that Xue An casually blew out a breath and extinguished his Strange Fire.
This was simply inconceivable.
Since ancient times, there had been no one who could extinguish the Strange Fire with a mere breath!
Even his own father, the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan, couldn’t do it.
After all, the Strange Fire was a naturally formed divine flame, extremely powerful; ordinary people couldn’t even touch it without having both body and soul incinerated.
Who exactly was this man?
For a moment, countless thoughts flooded Qi Hongbo’s mind, leaving him sitting dumbfounded on the ground, at a loss for words.
At that moment, Xue An said indifferently, "This... is this what you call your method?"
Qi Hongbo shuddered all over, gradually regained his senses, and then said with a quivering voice, "You... who are you exactly? How can you extinguish my Strange Fire?"
"Your Strange Fire?" Xue An laughed nonchalantly, then opened his palm and beckoned with his index finger.
Boom!
The entire crowd was astounded.
Because upon Xue An’s index finger, a wisp of pale blue flame began to emerge slowly.
"You call this your Strange Fire?" Xue An asked calmly.
Qi Hongbo was dumbfounded.
The pale blue Strange Fire, dancing upon Xue An’s finger, was different from when Qi Hongbo wielded it; despite being close, it emitted no heat that one could feel.
Only Qi Hongbo knew what this meant.
When he had deployed the Strange Fire, the heat had leaked due to insufficient control.
But in Xue An’s hands, it was as if manipulating an extension of his own body, with not even a hint of heat escaping, indicating that Xue An had completely mastered controlling this wisp of Strange Fire.
But how could this be possible?
You should know that Qi Hongbo had spent a full year attempting to condense this wisp of Strange Fire, and only with the reluctant help of his father and the elders of the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan did he manage to succeed.
Yet from the moment Xue An laid eyes on the Strange Fire until now, only an incense stick’s worth of time had passed; how did he achieve it?
These questions swirled in Qi Hongbo’s mind, making his complexion alternate between pale and flushed, but eventually, his gaze became steadily calm.
"I admit defeat!"
These three simple words caused a collective change in the crowd’s expression.
Pu Yanru, Ruan Jingshow, and other women shuddered.
"Qi... Young Master Qi..." Ruan Jingshow muttered in a daze, seemingly unable to believe that even the young master had conceded defeat.
At that moment, Qi Hongbo took a deep breath and slowly said, "Friend, your strength is enough to earn respect; I am no match for you. Now, I admit defeat! As for what you have done before, let’s call it even. My Heavenly Fire Divine Clan will no longer interfere. What do you say?"
"Let’s call it even?" Xue An smiled faintly.
"Yes!" Qi Hongbo nodded, then looked somewhat reluctantly at the pale blue Strange Fire in Xue An’s hand, "Consider this wisp of Strange Fire as my gesture of apology! And you will have won the friendship of my Heavenly Fire Divine Clan!"
The crowd buzzed.
Many people looked at Xue An with envy.
The friendship of the Heavenly Fire Divine Clan and even an apology from the young master of the Strange Fire.
Now, this young man in white had truly made a name for himself.
Probably, he would accept immediately.
Qi Hongbo also showed a hint of pride on his face; he had indeed begun to harbor a trace of fear towards Xue An.
