Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start - Chapter 527 - 527 Master Won’t Lose

527 Master Won’t Lose

Although the fire could incinerate everything, not resisting it would be suicidal. Only a lunatic would do that.

However, Himmel Soan made up his mind. He deactivated his spiritual essence, and instantly, he burned like a torch.

He was enveloped by fire. One couldn’t even make out his face.

“Is it over already? So disappointing. I thought I would have more fun.” The fire guardian sighed.

He thought the battle was over. In less than a minute, Himmel Soan would be burned into ashes.

The fire guardian expected a fierce battle, but the current situation disappointed him.

“Master!” Firey was so anxious that she wanted to run to Himmel Soan’s side.

The fire guardian stopped her with a wall of fire, preventing her from going closer.

There was nothing she could do about the flames. Even as the essence of nature, she couldn’t absorb the fire guardian’s fire.

“Ahhh!” Himmel Soan started screaming as soon as he gave up his defense.

It didn’t sound like any sound a human being could make. The scream made one’s blood curdle, showing the agony he was in.

A war was taking place inside Himmel Soan.

He had stopped fighting the fire, but that didn’t mean he had given up entirely. Since he couldn’t suppress it, he decided to use the most extreme way.

He let the fire burn through himself while concentrating his spiritual essence on one thing: repair.

He would repair everything that was damaged by the fire. When his heart was charred, his spiritual essence would flow into the heart and revive it.

It was like forging iron. By training himself repeatedly, he was trying to get used to the fire.

Although tedious, it was the only way. Himmel Soan had no choice but to fight the fire like this.

“There’s no point in fighting me anymore. Kiddo, you’re naturally drawn to fire. Wait. Are you the essence of nature or the essence of fire? Would you like to learn how to control the fire element?”

The fire guardian ignored Himmel Soan because he considered the latter already dead. Instead, he looked at Firey up and down.

He had noticed her from up in the sky as soon as she arrived.

The girl had a special energy that made her close to nature. Hence, the fire guardian paid extra attention to her.

He wasn’t alone. The fire guardian believed the other four guardians must also have noticed how special Firey was. That was why she hadn’t been attacked even once since the test started.

She was special.

She resented the fire guardian upon hearing his questions. She glared at him without saying a word.

She could still hear Himmel Soan’s screams and didn’t know if he was alive or dead. She hated the fire guardian and would never become his pupil.

“You came with that man, so I guess you’re quite close. Unfortunately, he’s going to die. That’s the rule, and no one can change it.

“When a cultivator reaches his ultimate level, he can live much longer than ordinary people. All capable cultivators have to go through that process, and no one can avoid death. Many of them have to watch their loved ones die until they’re the only ones left. You’re only experiencing it in advance.

“Capable cultivators have to be dauntless and be able to endure loneliness. I know you can’t accept that yet, but you’ll get used to it eventually. Would you like to become my pupil?”

There was a lonely look in the fire guardian’s eyes. He was talking both to Firey and to himself.

It was an inevitable path.

Once they reached a certain level, they would become almost immortal. At that stage, they could only watch their loved ones pass away one after another.

The fire guardian had been through all of it.

He couldn’t accept it at first and tried to save his family from the law of nature. Eventually, he had to accept his fate and reconcile with himself. It took him a long time to reach that stage.

He could understand how Firey felt because he had been there before.

The reality was cruel; nothing could change it.

“No!” Firey spoke after a long moment of silence.

Her eyes shone as brightly as stars. She looked at the fire guardian and said affirmatively, “Master won’t die!

“Your fire can’t hurt him.

“I won’t become your pupil. I’ll only follow Master.”

Firey gradually calmed down. She trusted Himmel Soan. She believed nothing could kill him and would only make him stronger.

“Are you still not going to accept reality?” The fire guardian shook his head, feeling disappointed.

It was obvious that Himmel Soan would die. Having heard his scream, why wouldn’t she accept his failure?

“What? The screaming!” The fire guardian suddenly realized something.

He had talked to Firey for over a minute. He estimated that Himmel Soan wouldn’t last for that long in the fire and should be dead by now.

However, he was still screaming at the top of his lungs, not sounding any weaker than before.

If he was going to die, his voice wouldn’t be so loud. The fire guardian finally realized something.

Himmel Soan was still alive!

He looked at Himmel Soan, who was still burning like a torch.
