Green spirit power wisps of flames swim around the entirety of the dome. Xiao Yan stood still staring blankly, slacked jawed, at the supposed plot armor of his.

”Rank 18 of the Heavenly Flame Ranking, Green Lotus Core Flame...” He muttered.

This is impossible! A dream! An illusion! There's no way he would just stumble into a heavenly flame at the start of his journey to greatness! The chance of stumbling into one is 0.0000023%!!

But... plot I guess?

'Yeah... I'm just gonna blame it in my luck, plot or destined God of the universe or whatever.' Shrugging it off Xiao Yan relaxed and calm himself down.

This is one time opportunity to witness and come in contact with a heavenly flame. Something that was rare to the point of only prominent Titled Douluos has the authority to be even in the vicinity of one.

Xiao Yan thought of absorbing and make the heavenly flame submit to him before he abolish such thought out of his mind.

Heavenly flames are flames that can even burn a Titled Douluo to ashes with just a mere wisp from it, what Xiao Yan had read from the books that contain the information and theories of Heavenly Flames. But even if it were false it wasn't something a spirit scholar like himself, with no spirit ring, could handle with such terrifying product of nature and heaven. They are flames unrivaled by others. Ultimate fire users might have the potential to surpass some of the Heavenly Flames but it was only that 'some' not most or all of the Heavenly Flames.

Heavenly flames are flames that continuously evolve beyond if it even it didn't get nurtured or had the right environment as they are flames made by heaven's will. If the alchemist scholars are talking about the God Realm or something else entirely Xiao Yan doesn't know.

Point is, he isn't brave nor stupid enough to attempt something such as controlling a heavenly flame, much less a flame within the top 20.

Sighing deeply Xiao Yan flopped down in a cross legged position. Thinking of what he should do now. Even if this heavenly flame is his plot armor, he wasn't strong enough to handle such a thing.

All he could do was to try and find a way out of here, and probably when he's strong enough he would go back here and claim his plot armor.

”Damn it! Just as when I thought my luck was going great, it just gave me the middle finger! Hah... ” Sighing for like the hundredth time since he entered the damn forest Xiao Yan felt like he should have been a true alchemist than a battle spirit master.
