Chapter 749: Chapter 347: The Legend Is Just the Beginning (3)

"It’s just a minor flesh wound, no problem." Luo De said with a reassuring smile.

Avril nodded, then swiftly made an incision on the side of Luo De’s thigh, quickly inserting the Flame Gem inside.

She then took a Strong Life Potion from the side and poured it over the wound, watching it heal rapidly.

Throughout the entire process, Luo De showed no expression, smiling as he looked at Avril,

"I feel okay, continue."

"That’s good."

Avril breathed a sigh of relief and continued to implant the remaining Flame Gems into Luo De’s body.

"Alright, you two can leave now."

Luo De said to Avril and Vivian.

Avril shook her head slightly, "We can stay here to take care of you."

"There’s no need."

Luo De smiled and said, "I can’t focus with you two here; I’ll call if I need you."

Avril and Vivian hesitated, standing still without moving.

"The promotion process might produce unexpected incidents that could harm you."

Luo De urged, "Go on, I need to start."

"Alright."

The two had no choice but to reluctantly leave in silence.

When the door closed, Luo De took a deep breath, grasped the Core of Light, and began to mobilize the Blazing Energy in his body as per the manual.

The Blazing Energy instantly became agitated, and the Core of Light immediately emitted a scarlet glow.

Immediately after, an intense heat exploded from where the Flame Gems were embedded!

In an instant, Luo De felt his blood begin to boil, with flames rushing through his veins, as if thousands of red-hot needles were violently stabbing through his body!

Luo De’s spine arched suddenly, his teeth nearly breaking, fingers gouging deep marks on the ground!

Even so, Luo De didn’t let out a scream!

But the pain didn’t end!

The flames continued to surge, as if burning through Luo De’s flesh, binding onto his bones, drilling into the marrow, the pain growing more intense!

Luo De felt he could hear the cracking of his bones, like wood burning in a campfire!

"Now I’m really turning into fuel!"

Luo De grinned, unable to resist making a joke to himself.

By then, the flames had completely engulfed Luo De, his skin like a red-hot iron, the sweat on his forehead sizzling!

Luo De’s clothes had turned completely to ash, the stone slabs on the ground charred black! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Luo De felt as if his soul was being scorched, yet there was no sensation of fainting.

Only endless pain, and the fury provoked by that pain.

"Come on!"

Luo De rasped to himself, "The more it burns, the more excited I get!"

Luo De grinned wildly, as if he had begun to enjoy this pain.

Because Luo De knew, this purification by flame couldn’t destroy him, it would only make him stronger.

If that’s the case, what’s a little pain?

The flames seemed to sense Luo De’s thoughts, and suddenly burst out from his mouth, nose, ears, and eye sockets—

Luo De was gradually consumed by a firestorm!

"Boom!"

Just as the flames completely submerged Luo De, his chest trembled violently, heart thundering intensely!

"Whoosh!"

A scorching shockwave flashed from Luo De’s center, quickly leaving a charred area on the walls around him!

As the flames on Luo De began to fade, a crimson glow swept over his naked body, gradually merging into his skin.

The room fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

Luo De opened his eyes, a crimson flame flickering in his pupils.

At that moment, the system message appeared, notifying Luo De that the path to Kingship had gained another Legendary Knight.

"Is it over already?"

Luo De murmured to himself, "It wasn’t even very painful."

The pain had drained a significant amount of Luo De’s energy, but he could feel an incredibly pure Blazing Energy within his body.

At this moment, Luo De was stark naked, and the potions prepared for restoring energy had been destroyed by the flames.

Luo De could only lie on the ground, recovering energy while sensing the Blazing Energy inside him.

As the Seed of Nature spun, just as Carlos had said, Luo De’s body began to constantly generate Blazing Energy.

Luo De could control it at will, letting it cover his hands, surface of his skin, and any part of his body.

"Huh?"

Luo De suddenly remembered the techniques he learned before, from the large amount of Blazing Energy gained through "sacrifice."

The Blazing Energy swiftly gathered at his back, and a pair of flame wings gradually appeared behind Luo De.

Unfortunately, just like before, the flame wings were merely for show, of little practical use.

"If only I could actually fly."

Luo De shook his head helplessly, "Seems like the legendary power isn’t enough, this is just the beginning."
