"Yes!!" Zhu Hao nodded.

"To be precise, my dad is completely smitten with Huang Dongdong."

As he said this, he looked at Huang Dongdong and clicked his tongue in amazement:

"At only the Gold level, his affinity for fire is already almost on par with my father's. I'm even jealous of his talent..."

“My dad said that I don’t have to go back this time, but Huang Dongdong has to be brought back to him.”

Upon hearing this,

The usually eccentric Huang Dongdong was a little embarrassed.

Huo Wen now fully understood what was going on.

So, their Fire Element Sect joined the Holy Flame Alliance entirely because of their precious disciple Huang Dongdong's talent...

I'm so ashamed that I kept thinking about all sorts of things.

All for nothing.

In a short time,

Huo Wen then turned his gaze to Ye Ran.

If it weren't for Ye Ran, how could my Fire Element Sect have encountered such a tremendous stroke of luck?

At this moment,

He is now incredibly grateful for that flash of inspiration he had back then.

Letting Huang Dongdong go out to find the teacher was a stroke of genius!

This directly changed the fate of Huo Xingzong and Huang Dongdong.

Zhu Hao looked at Ye Ran with a curious expression:

"My dad told me that Huang Dongdong wasn't always this approachable; it was all thanks to you, Teacher Ye, that he improved?"

"Yes, it's all thanks to Teacher Ye!!" Before Ye Ran could speak,

Huo Wen, who was standing to the side, took the initiative to speak.

He looked at Ye Ran with a mixture of gratitude and excitement:

"To be honest, I am ashamed to say that I have not yet thanked the great benefactor who changed my disciple's fate against all odds."

As he spoke, Huo Wen was about to bow to Ye Ran.

Seeing this, Ye Ran was greatly alarmed and hurriedly helped Huo Wen up:

"Sect Master Huo, there's no need, no need. Please don't make this junior suffer today."

"It's necessary!!" Huo Wen said earnestly.

"Teacher Ye, from today onwards, your word carries more weight than mine within the Fire Element Sect. If Huang Dongdong has any problems, feel free to scold or beat him. You can beat his bottom until it's raw, and I'll just applaud it!!!"

"Master!! With so many people here, what are you saying?!" Huang Dongdong exclaimed speechlessly upon hearing Huo Wen's words.

Zhu Hao, who was standing to the side, listened to Huo Wen say this,

Looking at Ye Ran with anticipation, he asked, "Teacher Ye, could you perhaps help me improve?"

Ye Ran looked at Zhu Hao, paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"You are already an extraordinary being, and many things have already been set in stone. It would be quite difficult to correct them."

Hearing this, Zhu Hao's eyes showed a slight disappointment.

However, Ye Ran changed the subject:

"However, there is still room for improvement. Although you may not be able to improve as much as Huang Dongdong, you can still make some progress. But you will have to stay with me for a while, just like your father said."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hao hesitated for a moment, weighing the options.

He shook his head, cupped his hands, and said to Ye Ran:

"Then forget it, Teacher Ye. I'm used to being free and can't stand being restricted."

Hearing Zhu Hao say that, Ye Ran didn't insist.

Zhu Hao then turned his gaze to Huo Wen and Huang Dongdong:

"Let's get down to business. Huo Wen, what are your Fire Element Sect's considerations? Are you willing to join the Holy Flame Alliance and become one of the alliance's leading sects?"

Upon hearing Zhu Hao's inquiry,

At this moment, Huo Wen had no more hesitation and nodded excitedly:

"Of course we'd love to!!"

After agreeing with the pleasant-sounding Huo Wen, he nodded and then tossed a token to Huo Wen.

Huo Wen took the token and examined it carefully.

The token is engraved with a sacred flame.

Although the sacred flame was carved on,

But after examining it closely for a long time, the sacred flame seemed to be real, constantly flickering.

Even if it was just for a short while,

Huo Wen could vaguely sense that the power of the flames within his body had become much purer.

At that moment, a voice of well wishes came from beside me:

"This is the Holy Flame Alliance Leader's Token, forged from a meteorite of heavenly fire. It contains a trace of my father's power of law, which is helpful for the cultivation of fire-type ability users."

"From today onwards, your Fire Element Sect is one of the leaders of the Holy Fire Alliance. With this token, you can enter the Holy Fire Alliance headquarters at any time and exercise all the rights of the leader."

"Please keep this safe."

Hearing Zhu Hao's words, Huo Wen hurriedly took back the token:

"Thank you, Holy Envoy!!"

Zhu Hao replied with a smile, "No need to thank me. The Holy Flame Alliance is also an alliance of fire-type ability users. There are no complicated rules. We'll all be brothers from now on."

"Oh, right!" Zhu Hao seemed to have thought of something.

He said to Huo Wen:

"Our Holy Flame Alliance is about to elect a Holy Son. I think Huang Dongdong is a strong contender for the Holy Son position."

"The Holy Son??" Huo Wen and the others were stunned for a moment.

Zhu Hao nodded.

"Yes, just like other top powers, we're cultivating a new generation leader. The Holy Son will have priority access to the alliance's resources and will receive guidance from our nation-slaughtering superhumans. Most importantly, the reward for this Holy Son selection is entry into the Suiren Fire Cave..."

"Suiren Fire Cave?!?!" Huo Wen exclaimed in shock, asking incredulously, "Is it the Suiren Fire Cave that's said to have a chance to touch the power of ultimate laws?!"

"That's right. The time for the Fire Cave is approaching, and our Holy Flame Alliance has one spot available. We'll let the younger generation go in and try their luck."
