Chapter 732 - Burning Blood (1/2)

Power rippled around Shao Xuan. While the blacksmiths could feel it, they did not understand what he intended to do. It was not totemic power either.

Even though they were utterly confused, they did not look away. What was the Grand Elder doing with the knife? What was the blood for?

As he brushed his thumb down the blade, it created a long stain. While the colour was not dark, they grew even more confused.

That’s not supposed to happen!

Based on the strength used to rub the blood in, it should not stain like this!

For example, when the guy was cut by the knife during the previous scuffle, if he had used his finger instead of shirt to wipe the blood off, he should easily clean it without stains.

It was as if the spot where Shao Xuan’s thumb rubbed across was a sticky substance- like cooked grain- that was not the blood they knew.

But that was indeed blood!

Strange!

What followed was even more shocking.

Shao Xuan slapped the end of the bloodstain with his palm.

Whoosh—

Flames erupted from his palm, burning across the blood streak.

It’s… burning!

Burning!

Everyone had their jaws on the floor.

The fire was burning without wood or charcoal!

No, that’s no normal fire.

The blacksmiths were sensitive to fire- even totemic warriors could easily distinguish the types of fire, let alone them.

This fire was different from the fire seed. It seemed to have its own aura and power.

But how did Grand Elder burn a knife?

“I see!” muttered Shao Xuan as he looked at the knife.

He had an idea when he saw the Gu tribe fighting the fearsome beasts while they were downstream. They first trapped the beast with net and then set the net ablaze. After that, he even tried it and realised he seemed to be immersed in a different state of mind- like he instinctively knew what to do next.

The threat tied around the beast also burned the same way then, but Shao Xuan could never replicate it again after the incident. It was because he was not familiar with the technique and it was a different environment. The Gu tribe’s fire seed had created a special battlefield that allowed the tribesmen to easily set things on fire through different overlaying forces. Replicating this action outside of this energy field would be difficult.
