Fighting Against the Wind begins with the Dragon Flame

Chapter 2: Illusory Fire
"Wind Fury Dragon Flame."

His face slowly returned to normal, and Lin Yang's thoughts were turning rapidly.

This is the second time this kind of physical abnormality has occurred since I traveled through time.

The last time he appeared was six years ago, when he suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the Tagor Desert east of Shimo City.

The image that appeared at that time was a green lotus fire swaying slowly in the magma.

Combined with the desert environment, he was able to confirm the fact that he had traveled through time and that this was the Douqi Continent.

After being brought back to Shimo City by the passing city guards, he asked about the distance and, combining his memory with the original work, guessed that the Qinglian Earth Core Fire was just beneath the sand where he crossed.

But as I had no cultivation at that time, let alone defeating the two-headed fire snake and taming the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, it was even a problem to move the sand covering the passage.

Even if he had not met Zhou Cheng and the city guards on patrol, he, an ordinary person, would have died in the desert long ago.

After all, I couldn't find the direction at all at that time and kept walking deeper into the desert. Maybe I could see the snake people before I died?
"How did Wind Fury Dragon Flame appear in the Tagor Desert? How come such a big thing wasn't mentioned in the original novel?"

The power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is comparable to that of a peak Douhuang. The Wind Fury Dragon Flame in the desert home court is even more like a natural disaster. Even Medusa might not dare to confront it.

"Wait, could it be directed at me?"

Lin Yang frowned, closed his eyes slightly, held his breath, and concentrated his mind, sinking into his body.

Inner vision is an auxiliary skill that only breakthrough fighters can master. The higher the level of cultivation, the more thorough the exploration of the situation inside the body.

The mind continued to explore various parts of the body, but found nothing unusual, and finally stopped at the heart.

"Boom~"

As if sensing the investigation, Lin Yang's heart beat violently, and he was suddenly forced to exit the inner vision, and his eyes were plunged into a white mist.
I don’t know how long it took, but the white light slowly dissipated and my vision returned to normal.

"Uh, what's going on?"

Lin Yang had a strange expression on his face. As the white light faded away, it seemed as if something extra appeared in his body.

He quickly closed his eyes, calmed his mind, looked inward again, and directed his mind towards his dantian.

In the Dantian, a palm-sized milky white cyclone is slowly rotating. On the periphery of the cyclone, there is a layer of nebula-like milky white energy gas, which is the fighting spirit.

At this moment, in the Dantian, where there should have been only the Dou Qi vortex and Dou Qi, there were a series of amorphous objects floating.

Upon closer inspection, they were actually flames of various colors, more than twenty in number.

However, most of the flames were extremely illusory, as if they would disappear at any time. Only two flames, one yellow and one green, were very bright and immediately attracted Lin Yang's attention.

When the mind touches the green flame, it instantly transforms into a green lotus, and scenes emerge in the mind.

As the scene before my eyes drifted, it continued to sink in the thick sand until it reached the rock layer below the sand.

Passing through the magma deep in the earth veins, I vaguely glimpsed a two-headed red snake monster, but as I continued to sink, the snake monster slowly disappeared.
All the way to the bottom of the magma, a cyan light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

It was a green lotus with extremely long and slender stems, swaying slowly in the magma.
The green flame at the center of the lotus sometimes flourished and sometimes waned as the green lotus swayed, as if it was breathing.
"This is the two-headed fire spirit snake, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire! Why is it different from what I saw last time?"

After exiting the inner vision and opening his eyes, Lin Yang discovered that a green light suddenly appeared on his body, pointing to the distance.

And the direction is exactly to the east of Shimo City, the location of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire mentioned in the original book!

He was stunned for a moment, and after a while, Lin Yang reacted and hurriedly looked inward, using his mind to touch another yellow-brown flame that had turned into a dragon shape.

The image of the desert fire tornado seen earlier reappeared.

However, it was different from before. The environment around the fire tornado had changed. In this scene, there was a huge rock that was melting rapidly near the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.
At the same time, the green light on Lin Yang's body turned into yellow-brown, and the direction also changed to the west from Shimo City. "Could it be that these illusory flames can help me check the current status of the corresponding strange fire? And find out where it is?"

The mind touched the other eighteen illusory flames, but no scenes like the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Wind Fury Dragon Flame appeared.

"Hey, so what if you tell me the location? I can't get my hands on those two strange fires. With my small body, I'm afraid I'll be dead before I even get close."

With a sigh, Lin Yang shook his head. What was the use of giving himself the location of the strange fire? With his own strength, he simply could not obtain it.

When Xiao Yan was fighting against his master, he absorbed the severely weakened Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Even after taking several precious pills that specifically aided in refining the strange fire and following the guidance of Medicine Master on the refining method, he was still tortured to death.

I am just a small fighter, so I should stop dreaming.

Just as Lin Yang thought of this, the illusory Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and Wind Fury Dragon Flame in his Dantian trembled together, and two pieces of information were transmitted to his mind at the same time.

"Hmm? These illusory fires can help me refine real fires without even needing to absorb spirits?
As long as there is no external force like the two-headed fire snake blocking it, I can directly absorb the strange fire into it? It won't really hurt me when refining it?"

After checking the information, Lin Yang was stunned. It took six years for the plug-in to arrive. Wasn’t it too late?

"In other words, I can now rely on the illusory Wind Fury Dragon Flame in my body to absorb the real Wind Fury Dragon Flame? As long as I can withstand the pain brought about by refining it, I will definitely succeed?"

"So, I'm about to take off?"

After a long time, Lin Yang rubbed his stiff face.

The amount of information generated in just two quarters of an hour was so overwhelming that he couldn't react for a moment. After a moment, he frowned again.

With his current strength having just broken through to the Fighter level, going deep into the Tagor Desert alone would be tantamount to seeking death. He could only wait for Fengnu Longyan to get closer to Shimo City.

"Zhou Xuan, damn you, you still dare to be lazy!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out, and a figure appeared behind Lin Yang. It was Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng grabbed Zhou Xuan's clothes and lifted him up in his hands, his face ashen. He came here tonight specifically to catch this bastard Zhou Xuan.

I arranged the genius Lin Yang to be in Zhou Xuan's team because I wanted him to have a good relationship with me, but who would have thought that he would discover Zhou Xuan's slacking off behavior instead.

"Uncle, I just closed my eyes for a while!"

Zhou Xuan woke up as soon as the voice sounded. Seeing that he was discovered again, he had already anticipated the hard labor in the future and his face was as pale as death.

Zhou Cheng's face turned even darker when he heard this.

"Hmph, keep quibbling. Starting tomorrow, you will guard the city gate for three months. If I catch you slacking off again, you will have to stand next to my tent for three months!"

After saying that, he took a few deep breaths, tried to make his expression kind, then turned to look at Lin Yang and continued:

"Lin Yang, go down first and let the next team on duty come up. You can take a few days off first. Also, don't listen to the nonsense this bastard says.

The snake people have indeed not made any unusual moves for decades, but they are not all dead. They have been secretly accumulating strength for decades. If they make any move, it will be a huge crisis. The city defense must not be relaxed at all!"

"Yes, General!"

Lin Yang saluted, looked at Zhou Xuan with a little sympathy, then turned and walked towards the city wall.

He indeed did not notice Zhou Cheng's surprise attack. He must have come specifically to catch him. It can only be said that the captain was unlucky.

He left the military camp and headed towards his residence in the city.
