He trembled slightly as he reached out his right hand, wanting to touch the lunar-shaped stone disk around the Fire Dragon Crown. However, halfway through, his hand suddenly halted in mid-air!

Andy's urgent prompting came from behind, "Why did you stop again? Are you worried about not being recognized by the Fire Dragon Crown? Actually... there's no need to worry too much, because no one has been recognized by it in a hundred years before you!"

Dorong echoed, "Yes, make haste, the opportunity is fleeting, whether you have the fate or not depends on your luck."

Su Chen remained silent, as if frozen, his eyes fixed on the stone disk composed of lunar and circular shapes, vivid, shocking images flashed through his mind.

At Sun and Moon Lake, when encountering the Ox Stone Plate with Xige Zhuxue, he happened to be at the boundary of Sun Pool and Moon Pool, which reminded him of the harmony of yin and yang. At that time, it was the shape and subtle balance of Sun and Moon Lake that reminded him.

And now, in front of him, the Fire Dragon Crown similarly had the form of the sun and moon. Could it be that it shared the same mystery with Sun and Moon Lake? Thinking of this, his eyes were fixedly staring at the flickering flames, the fire in his eyes continuously magnifying, eventually forming a vast white wave...

"It's water!"

Su Chen suddenly shouted in excitement, causing the three behind him to change their expressions and inquire in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Su Chen shook his head to himself, steadying his mind. His extended right hand froze in mid-air as the Beast's Qi Energy within him began to circulate. Quickly, that deep blue Profound Water Qi was being mobilized ceaselessly, flowing through his limbs and bones, converging towards his right hand. Then, with his right palm facing the open mouth of the white five-clawed fire dragon, he abruptly spewed out a surge of deep blue Profound Water Qi!

"It's... it's Profound Water!"

Behind him, Dorong let out a startled cry! Then the three Witch Immortals rushed over, gazing at Su Chen up close, faces filled with shock and awe!

"How does this little dwarf have Profound Water too... ah, could it be my share of Profound Water... was split by him..."

Dorong shouted mournfully with his mouth agape and his face showing desperation, "This damn dwarf, no wonder there was only a few drops left for me, it's infuriating!"

Beside him, Andy gave him a hard smack on the shoulder, shushing, "Lower your voice, you bug, can't you see he's already started?"

Sure enough, Dorong looked towards Su Chen, watching as the Profound Water Qi continued to spew from his palm into the dragon's mouth, resembling a blue rainbow across the night, breathtakingly beautiful. The virtual white flames still lingered within the circle, now seemingly starting to ripple subtly.

Su Chen's forehead was already sweating; though his control over Profound Water was decent, sustaining the supply for such a long time was definitely taxing for him. Just as he was nearing his limit, the dragon's wide-open mouth suddenly closed!

Su Chen was stunned, then immediately saw the fire dragon appear to come alive, coiling and winding between the lunar and circular sections, erupting in a dazzling blue-white light that illuminated the entire peak of Sunshine Mountain!

A sound like clanging metal filled the air.

The fire dragon stopped, but the lunar-shaped stone disk began to rotate clockwise, releasing an exceptionally powerful energy wave as it rotated, enveloping Su Chen completely, almost immobilizing him.

After several minutes, the lunar-shaped stone disk finally stopped, now suspended above the circular stone disk. A minty, clear powder drifted down from above, making all four feel incredibly refreshed in mind and spirit.

Su Chen watched the slowly emerging flame, an unknown confusion in his eyes once more lit up.

"I succeeded..."

The three Witch Immortals stupidly stared at his trembling figure, exchanged a look, and then all shook their heads with wry smiles.

"Unexpectedly, the flame that had not been taken away for over a century was actually claimed by this little dwarf."

Dorong sighed.

"Hehe, perhaps it is fate, we witnessed this day, and it was not in vain,"

Andy also sighed, although the gaze he cast on Su Chen's back carried a hint of admiration.

Kula was dazed for a moment, then shouted at the still-stunned Su Chen, "Don't just stand there, the flame is unguarded, it can't be left for long, quickly chew the Dragon's Tongue Grass and absorb it into your body!"

Su Chen was shaken all over, then nodded immediately, bringing the Dragon's Tongue Grass in his left palm to his mouth and chewing vigorously. The fiery green juice slipped down his throat and quickly spread through his body, covering the surface of every muscle and bone, forming a tough and impenetrable red phosphorus-like coating layer. Then, trembling slightly, he used the power of wind swirl to draw the flame over and inhaled it with wide eyes...

Immediately a scorching heat spread throughout his entire body, burning his internal organs, flesh, and bones in a great wave! Su Chen let out a heart-wrenching scream and fell to the ground, rolling and struggling non-stop!

The three Witch Immortals' faces changed dramatically, but they didn't know what to do, only able to watch from a distance.

A torrent of virtual white flame surged within him, biting madly at his internal meridians and bones wherever it passed, fortunately, the Dragon's Tongue Grass juice coating provided some protection, or else he feared that his insides would have already been reduced to void. Despite the severe pain, his mind grew increasingly calm, and he controlled his mind to form a defensive ring of Profound Water around the flame, inside and out, easing the intense burning sensation. Gradually, the burning subsided, revealing a layer of virtual white on the flame-burned meridians. Most of the flame rushed into the Beast's Qi Sea, expanding it and forming a vast fourth fan-shaped region. It was separated by Profound Water, with mutated fire energy and wind energy on its right.

However, compared to the mutated fire energy, the flame was more fierce, sometimes leaping up, trying to cross over Profound Water to wreak havoc on the mutated fire energy side. It's no wonder, even though they were both high-level flames, the flame was a top five power on the exotic flame list, it would naturally bully the weaker.

Su Chen lay on the ground, hunching over, his whole body twisted in pain. However, his screams had ceased, and his forehead no longer sweated, just lying there motionless.

The three Witch Immortals hurried up to support him. Only then did Su Chen slowly open his eyes, looking pale as he gazed at the three Dwarf Witch Immortals before him.

"Esteemed seniors, I did it, the flame is within me now."

Andy smiled approvingly, "Young man, well done."

"Mm, more resilient than I imagined, promising future indeed."

Dorong also patted his shoulder, an expression of appreciation appearing on his rough face for the first time.

Su Chen licked his lips with his tongue, tasting bitterness, realizing he had bitten through them. Drops of red-green Dragon's Tongue Grass juice still hung at the corners of his mouth, mixing with blood, carrying a faint morbid charm.

He looked ahead, discovering that the Fire Dragon Crown had returned to its original state, but within the circular stone disk, the trace of the virtual white flame was nowhere to be seen. Recalling the recent agony, he couldn't help but sigh, "It was an experience more painful than death; hopefully, I won't encounter any more exotic flames or peculiar waters..."

The four of them returned the same way back to where they were staying.

As night had fallen, Su Chen had to stay the night, though having obtained the flame, he was happy, making his mood to descend the mountain not so urgent.

The summit of Sunshine Mountain, as quiet as usual, the night passed quietly. When the first ray of morning light entered the cave, Su Chen opened his eyes, looking at the empty stone bed across from him, a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

True enough, upon exiting the cave, he saw the three Dwarf Witch Immortals happily playing on their respective swings, with Andy's swinging noticeably higher, his face full of delight.

"Hahaha, you bug, now you've seen how awesome I am, this is an extended version of the iron chain swing! Besides, the iron chair is custom-made, ensuring comfort and reliability!"

"Hey, stinky Andy, didn't I tell you not to call me a bug, how can you go back on your word so quickly?"

Dorong gritted his teeth angrily, "Besides, even if it's comfortable, it's made by someone else for you, not your credit, what are you showing off for!"

Andy raised his brow with a smile, "Alright then, I won't call you that, stinky Dorong, I see you're clearly jealous of me, hmph, if you have the ability, make your iron chair as comfortable as mine. Or, how about borrowing my swing for a few goes?"
