Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

To minimize the commotion caused by devouring the Strange Fire, Mu Chen enveloped the entire cave with his soul power. If he hadn't done so, the mountain would have been half-burned by the Strange Fire before Ruo Lin could even refine it.

Mu Chen gazed at the naked body in the cave, his thoughts wandering. Especially with Zi Yan, Xue Ni, and Xiao Yu by his side, even as a man, being in such an environment with four women made him feel somewhat awkward.

"Um... maybe I should go outside?" Mu Chen suggested.

"Outside? Instructor is refining the Strange Fire. If something goes wrong, how can we manage without you here?" Xue Ni replied without hesitation.

"It's just... it's a bit inconvenient with you all here," Mu Chen said, raising an eyebrow.

"Inconvenient?" Xue Ni murmured, looking at Mu Chen in surprise, then glancing at Instructor Ruo Lin's naked body, she finally understood what Mu Chen meant. Her face turned red as she said, "It's so hot in here. I... I need to get some fresh air."

"I'll go too," Zi Yan chimed in.

"Me too," Xiao Yu followed.

"Yu'er, you stay," Mu Chen said.

"Huh?" Xiao Yu stopped in her tracks, looking at Mu Chen in surprise.

As for Zi Yan and Xue Ni, especially Zi Yan, who was now a true woman, seeing the glint in Mu Chen's eyes, she seemed to understand what he was thinking. She smirked mischievously and tactfully gave Xiao Yu and Mu Chen some private space.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Help me," Mu Chen said.

"Huh?" Xiao Yu's face flushed, guessing something but not entirely sure. "How do you want me to help you?"

"Like you did back on the cliff," Mu Chen requested.

"Huh?" Xiao Yu looked at Mu Chen in shock. Although she had anticipated it, hearing him make such a request still startled her. She glanced at Instructor Ruo Lin, who was currently refining the Strange Fire, and said, "But the instructor is still here."

"What are you afraid of? She's completely focused on refining the Strange Fire and won't pay attention to us. Your instructor is so beautiful. As her student, don't you have a duty to help me quench the evil fire in my body?" Mu Chen retorted.

...

Dou Qi +36,256

Dou Qi +52,652

Dou Qi +49,869

About half an hour later, Mu Chen's expression calmed, and the heat in his lower abdomen disappeared completely. Seeing the glistening moisture at the corner of Xiao Yu's lips, Mu Chen pulled her into his arms.

Devouring the Strange Fire was a time-consuming process.

Ruo Lin's body was covered in a layer of blood-red keratin. Under the burning of the Strange Fire, the keratin continuously seeped out through her pores. Her beautiful face was covered in blood, resembling a demon from hell.

"Will the instructor be okay?" Xiao Yu asked, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief while looking at Mu Chen with concern.

"As long as she holds on to her will, she will not perish," Mu Chen replied.

This wasn't the first time Mu Chen had said this. "As long as one's will remains, they will not perish." This was the mantra passed down by the Ancient Emperor Tuosha. Tuosha, being a Strange Fire, ensured that as long as one's will remained, they would not perish.

At the moment, Ruo Lin was also absorbing the Strange Fire. Although she might not be able to grasp the profound mysteries of the inheritance left by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, as long as her will was strong enough, with the help of the Blood Lotus Pill personally refined by Mu Chen, she would definitely be able to refine the Strange Fire.

"What if she can't do it?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.

"If she can't, she will turn into a pile of ashes within a few seconds," Mu Chen replied.

"So dangerous?" Xiao Yu was genuinely frightened by Mu Chen's words.

"Of course, the Strange Fire is a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the world. Even if placed across the myriad realms, it is still a remarkable treasure. Naturally, there are great risks involved in obtaining it. But once successful, her combat power will soar to the level of a Battle Emperor," Mu Chen explained.

Under the intense heat, the originally wide and resilient meridians within Xiao Yu's body had twisted into something resembling dried twisted dough, looking extremely bizarre and terrifying.

Ruo Lin was not like Zi Yan; she didn't possess Zi Yan's powerful innate physique. The pain of refining the Strange Fire with a human body would be several times greater than what Zi Yan endured. Of course, when Zi Yan devoured the Strange Fire, she didn't rely on any external aids. The two couldn't be compared equally.

For Ruo Lin, as long as she could absorb the Sea Heart Flame into her body before the effects of the Blood Lotus Pill wore off, she would succeed.

Suddenly, a faint blue light wave emanated from Ruo Lin's body.

"Huh?"

Mu Chen frowned. Although the fluctuation was weak, he still managed to catch it.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Xiao Yu asked, puzzled.

"A seal within your instructor's body has been broken," Mu Chen replied.

"A seal?" Xiao Yu looked at Ruo Lin, only seeing the twisted meridians on her body emitting a faint blue light. Beyond that, with her current Soul Power and perception, she couldn't sense anything else unusual. She asked curiously, "Husband, are you saying there's a seal inside Instructor Ruo Lin?"

"Mm," Mu Chen nodded affirmatively.

"Why would Instructor Ruo Lin have a seal inside her body?" Xiao Yu questioned.

"In the myriad realms, some powerful families, in order to conceal their bloodline aura, place seals within their bodies. Although I don't know the specifics, I can confirm that the seal within Ruo Lin's body has been destroyed by the Strange Fire," Mu Chen explained.

Not only that, but Mu Chen also felt as if Ruo Lin's bloodline had come to life. The faint blue light began repairing the meridians that had been twisted and burned by the Strange Fire. Under the influence of the blue light, Ruo Lin's meridians started to regenerate, and her bones, heart, and other parts began to radiate a powerful vitality.

As the ancient energy within her bloodline was activated, the pain on Ruo Lin's face lessened significantly.

"Could it be that Ruo Lin is not from this world?" Mu Chen couldn't help but speculate.

Coincidentally, as far as Mu Chen knew, in a realm close to the Battle Qi Plane called the Martial Universe, there were two individuals who didn't belong to the Martial Universe but came from a higher realm known as the Great Ruler Plane. Those two individuals were Lin Qingtan and Ying Huanhuan.

Since there was such a precedent in the Martial Universe, it couldn't be denied that similar occurrences might exist in the Doupo Dimension.

"Senior Ruo Hao!"

Mu Chen, situated inside the cave, used his inner voice to communicate with Ruo Lin's grandfather, Ruo Hao, who was outside the cave.

"Young man, is that you speaking?"

"Yes, it's me. I want to ask you, is there some hidden story behind Ruo Lin's background?"

"Young man, you've figured it out?"

"I wasn't sure before, but now I can confirm it. The aura of your bloodline and Ruo Lin's bloodline are completely different. The two of you couldn't possibly be a real grandfather and granddaughter!"
