Green spirit power wisps of flames swim around the entirety of the dome. Xiao Yan stood still staring blankly, slacked jawed, at the supposed plot armor of his.

"Rank 18 of the Heavenly Flame Ranking, Green Lotus Core Flame..." He muttered.

This is impossible! A dream! An illusion! There's no way he would just stumble into a heavenly flame at the start of his journey to greatness! The chance of stumbling into one is 0.0000023%!!

But... plot I guess?

'Yeah... I'm just gonna blame it in my luck, plot or destined God of the universe or whatever.' Shrugging it off Xiao Yan relaxed and calm himself down.

This is one time opportunity to witness and come in contact with a heavenly flame. Something that was rare to the point of only prominent Titled Douluos has the authority to be even in the vicinity of one.

Xiao Yan thought of absorbing and make the heavenly flame submit to him before he abolish such thought out of his mind.

Heavenly flames are flames that can even burn a Titled Douluo to ashes with just a mere wisp from it, what Xiao Yan had read from the books that contain the information and theories of Heavenly Flames. But even if it were false it wasn't something a spirit scholar like himself, with no spirit ring, could handle with such terrifying product of nature and heaven. They are flames unrivaled by others. Ultimate fire users might have the potential to surpass some of the Heavenly Flames but it was only that 'some' not most or all of the Heavenly Flames.

Heavenly flames are flames that continuously evolve beyond if it even it didn't get nurtured or had the right environment as they are flames made by heaven's will. If the alchemist scholars are talking about the God Realm or something else entirely Xiao Yan doesn't know.

Point is, he isn't brave nor stupid enough to attempt something such as controlling a heavenly flame, much less a flame within the top 20.

Sighing deeply Xiao Yan flopped down in a cross legged position. Thinking of what he should do now. Even if this heavenly flame is his plot armor, he wasn't strong enough to handle such a thing.

All he could do was to try and find a way out of here, and probably when he's strong enough he would go back here and claim his plot armor.

"Damn it! Just as when I thought my luck was going great, it just gave me the middle finger! Hah... " Sighing for like the hundredth time since he entered the damn forest Xiao Yan felt like he should have been a true alchemist than a battle spirit master.

For an entire hour Xiao Yan wandered around the entire dome to try and figure it if there was a way out but sadly, there wasn't.

"Fuuuuuccckkkk...." Groaning in disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and frustration Xiao Yan lied down on the ground with his back. His eyes becoming blank and mouth continuously twitching.

"I'm never getting out, am I?" Xiao Yan said.

His thoughts then wondered back of how he got here then a fierce scowl appeared on his face.

"I swear if I ever getting out of here, I will spank that girl's a.s.s until it turns into two apple like buns!"

Xiao Yan closed his eyes after saying that before summoning his Heavy Xuan Ruler.

The black obsidian like ruler stood erect like a small building which was stabbed in the ground just inches away from the right side of Xiao Yan's face.

Staring at the black monstrosity of a weapon called his spirit essence Xiao Yan had a passing thought of using it to smash his way out of here before tossing it away.

If he were to do so then he might just doom himself by getting buried alive if this dome was underground or it might opened up his way to a spirit beast nest which is something he wasn't interested in getting into one.

"Looks like I'm just gonna die here... As a nine year old... And if I were to be reincarnated again, I wish to be reincarnated in a slice of life and harem anime as a male protagonist." Xiao Yan remarked with a dry smile.

"As awesome as that sounds but that's just not me." Xiao Yan let out a huff as he sat cross legged and closed his eyes. He slowly inhaled with his mouth, exhaling it to his nose, he circulated his spirit power to his Mysterious Heaven Skill and mediated.

'I'll find a way out. After all I, Xiao Yan, still has to protect his family and close friends!' And so, he closed all his senses and focused on mediating to help his patience and pass the time.

Unknown time passed and to Xiao Yan's unnoticed senses, wisps of green spirit power started to gather around him, slowly sipping through his body's cells, flesh, blood, bone, meridians and organs. Integrating itself to his body... Not only hsi body but also his spirit essence, the Heavy Xuan Ruler.

Parts of it melted and some held on, like it's handle, bits of the black material suddenly had a tinge of green color around. But point is, it's melting. And this is the spirit essence of Xiao Yan so...

Several moments later, Xiao Yan let out a scream of pain and agony that echoed around the dome and would have reached the heavens.
