The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2400 - 2389: Limit! Mastering a Hundred Flames!
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
Ye Chenfeng entered the first floor of the Medicine Tower.
He naturally didn’t know about the criticism from others.
The first floor of the Medicine Tower was vast, with walls engraved with clusters of red flames.
As Ye Chenfeng examined his surroundings,
five large words suddenly appeared in the void: "Control Five Fires, Can Pass!"
This meant that controlling five types of flames would allow passage through the first floor of the Medicine Tower.
Suddenly,
the clusters of red flames engraved on the walls around the first floor emitted a faint light, and a red flame rushed towards Ye Chenfeng.
This first floor of the Medicine Tower tested the fire control ability of an Alchemist.
The flames rushing from the walls of the first floor were illusory flames, but for those inside the Medicine Tower, there was no difference between these illusory flames and real flames.
Ye Chenfeng was a genuine Eighth Grade Alchemist.
Furthermore, under Wu Fengxian’s tutelage, Ye Chenfeng’s skills as an Eighth Grade Alchemist were extraordinary.
Still maintaining the imposing aura of the Earth God Realm, he waved his hand, Divine Sense and Spiritual Energy burst forth, and the flame rushing towards him began to leap steadily in his palm, allowing him to control the first flame smoothly.
At the moment he controlled the first flame,
a second red flame rushed from the walls of the first floor, although the color was the same, each flame was different.
Typically, for Alchemists without talent, controlling even one flame was considered excellent.
Even for Alchemists with great talent and high grade, the number of flames they can control was limited, for instance, Li Wunian, who passed the Medicine Tower test over three hundred years ago, controlled five flames back then. He didn’t immediately move on to the second floor and stayed on the first floor until he controlled seven flames, at which point he couldn’t hold on and ascended to the second floor.
Controlling five flames simultaneously is the base requirement for reaching the second floor.
Even nowadays, if the ancestors of Medicine Saint Hall, Chang Baiwu, and Yu Mingsong, were to enter, they would only be able to control thirteen to fifteen flames simultaneously.
Facing the second flame flying towards him,
Ye Chenfeng casually waved his hand, and the second flame obediently entered his palm too; controlling flames was entirely effortless for him.
Soon after, the third and fourth flames flew out.
Ye Chenfeng controlled them with ease; it was as simple as drinking water and eating.
While Ye Chenfeng simultaneously controlled four different flames,
in Medicine Saint Hall.
Within the deep stone chamber,
all eyes of Chang Baiwu, Yu Mingsong, and Li Wunian condensed, even Li Wunian couldn’t control flames so easily back then; Chang Baiwu said, "Did we misjudge him? Does this kid have some skills? I’m curious about how many flames he can control at once?"
Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, as ancestors of Medicine Saint Hall, can control the Medicine Tower at any time.
Chang Baiwu’s Spiritual Energy began to surge.
The red flames on the walls of the first floor of the Medicine Tower flickered more vigorously.
Chang Baiwu temporarily changed the requirement for passing the first floor; controlling five flames wasn’t enough, preventing progression to the second floor. Originally, controlling five flames would make the staircase to the second floor appear.
To test Ye Chenfeng’s fire control ability, Chang Baiwu restricted him to the first floor, meaning unless Chang Baiwu allowed the staircase to appear, it wouldn’t appear on its own.
When Chang Baiwu altered the rules,
Ye Chenfeng had just controlled five flames, yet couldn’t see the staircase to the second floor appear, causing him to frown tightly.
The flickering of flames on the walls of the first floor intensified.
The flames flew out from the walls more rapidly.
Ye Chenfeng was somewhat angry, not understanding why Medicine Saint Hall was making things difficult for him. People from Medicine Saint Hall shouldn’t know him, right?
Despite the anger,
facing the rushing flames from the walls,
Ye Chenfeng thought, "It’s been ages since I practiced alchemy, might as well use this to train my fire control ability! I’ll maintain the air of the Earth God Realm; if I use the strength of the Divine King Realm to control fire, it would be too easy."
Ye Chenfeng moved his arms in the air.
He skillfully controlled flame after flame.
Soon, the number of flames he controlled reached fifteen.
Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, in the stone chamber of Medicine Saint Hall, were stunned, while Li Wunian’s eyes were full of gloom and anger.
Chang Baiwu forgot to allow the staircase to the second floor to appear.
Thus, flames continued to rush out from the surrounding walls.
Ye Chenfeng continually controlled them.
When he simultaneously controlled thirty flames, Ye Chenfeng felt somewhat strained.
But this wasn’t his limit.
Relentlessly controlling flames,
continuously handling flame after flame,
a moment later.
Ye Chenfeng controlled as many as fifty flames.
Maintaining the air of the Earth God Realm, sweat began to bead on Ye Chenfeng’s forehead; he still didn’t intend to reveal his true aura, continuously controlling flames with the aura of the Earth God Realm.
The number of flames he controlled kept increasing.
His body became soaked with sweat.
Until he simultaneously controlled one hundred flames, no more flames rushed from the walls.
Controlling one hundred flames marked the limit of the Medicine Tower’s first floor.
Chang Baiwu failed to test Ye Chenfeng’s fire control limit, but he discovered the limit of flames flying out from the first floor of the Medicine Tower, an utterly ironic outcome.
Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong were completely dumbfounded, their minds blank with not a single thought processing, they never anticipated such a result; it was unbelievable, or perhaps a miracle, had they not seen it themselves, they would definitely think it was false, absolutely false.
Simultaneously controlling one hundred types of flames, what a cosmic joke!
Killing intent flashed across Li Wunian’s face; as a genius of Medicine Saint Hall, he could not tolerate others threatening his position, and Ye Chenfeng’s presence brought an enormous crisis. Controlling one hundred types of flames, in fire control ability, Ye Chenfeng entirely left him far behind.
Absurdly, he had just belittled Ye Chenfeng as a mere clown.
Now this "clown" left him astounded.
His mouth clenched tightly, already plotting in his heart how to eliminate Ye Chenfeng.
Yet he clung to a sliver of hope that although Ye Chenfeng’s fire control ability was astonishingly powerful, his other alchemical abilities might be weak.
