Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 946

In a matter of moments, the temperature of the whole world had raised to a point where it could refine the most powerful senior holy warrior. Darren closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, hoping that he could use his human body and flame crystal to get him out alive, but the temperature was too high and it was going to win.

On the inside, Darren's blood had been boiled dry. On the outside, his flesh had been eaten away and his hair was burnt to a crisp and falling out. He looked like a charcoal skeleton. A gasping breath broke through his cracked lips.

When the small fire saw that Darren was on the verge of death, all of the glee left him and he started to regret his choices.

'Is it cruel to kill him like this?' he wondered.

It was known fact that the only people who were able to enter this place had to be the most talented in the world. Perhaps Darren wasn't being arrogant, maybe the small fire was too quick to judge him. He increased the difficulty of Darren's test just because he had thought Darren hadn't shown any respect to him. Now, it seemed like it was not the right thing to do.

However regret was useless now. He wanted to lower the temperature, but it would take too long. Even if the small fire was the Fire Spirit of heaven and earth, he didn't have enough skill to snap his fingers and make it disappear.

"It's out of my hands. I hope you are lucky and if you can survive, I will give you a great gift," the small fire murmured.

Time was passing so slowly and Darren could feel every single twinge of pain that radiated through his mutilated body.

Feeling panicked, Darren activated the Assimilation Skill again and again, but his flame crystal was too overworked and not upgrading fast enough to defeat the flames outside.

Doubling over, Darren inhaled and exhaled sharply. He was clearly on the brink of death.

Moments later, Darren's body disintegrated and the ashes that were left blew away.

"What a shame, he died. Even the strongest senior holy warrior would have been unable to survive the current temperature. Besides, he was in a mortal body. He shouldn't have survived more than a minute." The small fire sighed.

The test had come to an end and the small fire fell quiet. He had waited for tens of millions of years for someone to enter the world and when it finally happened, the human had died from a slight error in thought by the small fire.

The small fire suddenly felt extremely lonely in the quiet space.

"All right. I don't care that you're dead. It's time for me to collect your flame crystal."

The small fire flew over and landed on the spot where Darren had died. He began searching the area but he couldn't see anything on the ground.

"Huh? Where is the crystal?" The small fire had never known a fire crystal to disappear along with a body when it died.

Yet, there was no flame crystal to find in the ashes of Darren's body.

'Is he still alive?' the small fire wondered, stopping his sifting and feeling defeated. He waited but there was no signs of life anywhere near him.

"That's impossible," he murmured. Trying with all his might, he searched for a sign of life but once again came up empty. However, something felt off.

In the spot where Darren had died, there was still hot steam creeping above the ground. The small fire seemed puzzled because the temperature had been extremely close to the temperature of the Fire Spirit himself.

"Oh, I see! His body had transformed into the True Fire Spiritual Body just seconds too late. He had refined but he missed his chance to use it. What a pity!

But wait a minute! It doesn't make sense that his body had become the True Fire Spiritual Body. If he had refined, he would have been able to endure the heat and he would still be alive. It's strange," the small fire said, contemplating the absurdity of the situation.

After a few moments of thought, the small fire gave up. There was no logical explanation for it.

Before he could think anything else, many colorful light spots appeared and floated in the air. In front of the small fire, a strange aura glimmered so he froze in place, waiting and watching.

While he watched the lights, they began to condense into a crystal.

Wisps of life auras appeared out of nowhere and a human-shaped shadow emerged from the crystal.

"What? He revived?" The small fire couldn't believe what he had witnessed. There was nothing in the past like this, and he was pretty certain that it had never happened before.

After a long while, the small fire saw a perfect body standing before him that was shining with light.

"Oh, thank God! It's over now," Darren exclaimed, sighing.
