LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episode 24's. The Power to Protect
The residence of the first elder of the Ling Clan.
Seen as a old man was entering the residence, he looked around and found Ling San and his wife talking about something.
Ling San who was aware of the presence of someone suddenly turned his body and found a old man walking closer towards him and his wife.
"Greetings Clan leader Ling Han, let's go inside." Said Ling San courteously and saluted the old man.
"There's no need to bother first elder Ling San, I just want to know if your son hasn't returned from his training." Said Ling Han.
Hearing the words of the Clan leader, Ling San and his wife Ling Yue could only smile bitterly bowed in lethargy, for some time they kept thinking about his only son who did not come home from the dark forest.
"We also don't understand the chairman, Ling Yan said he will be home after one year, but this has exceeded the deadline he said and he hasn't returned yet." Ling San said sadly.
It had actually been a few days that rumors had arisen that said that there was a person who had seen the corpse of a young man wearing clothes like a member of the Ling Clan near the border between the two empires not far from the territory dark forest.
Hearing the news Ling San then headed to the border to ascertain the truth, but when he got there, Ling San only found an object that he recognized as belonging to his son that was a robe that read Ling Clan.
After his return from the border began to appear stories among the public that said that the son of the elder Ling San might have died eaten by a demon.
Ling San and Ling Yue were devastated with the story going around, stumbling slightly in their minds to accept that reality, but they decided to throw the mind away and still wait for the return of his son.
"Eh elder San, I understand the feelings of the two of you, but I must also say this, too, if your son hasn't returned after the Ling Clan's maturation ceremony for another 2 months then we will declare that he has died." Said Ling Han.
Hearing the words from the sakte chief, Ling San was a little surprised. "Chairman, shouldn't the maturation ceremony be done in 2 more years, why do you say 2 months." Ling San.
"I am helpless elder San, the two leaders of the Li Clan and the Yu Clan accelerated the inter Clan tournament from 2 more years to 2 more months, so I also had no other choice but to advance the ceremony of his maturity." Said the Ling Clan's leader.
Hearing the words of his clan head, Ling San and his wife could only bitterly smile and hope that Ling Yan could return home before the Ling Clan's maturity ceremony.

"Fire sky? Huo what he meant was a celestial flame that was at the 20th level of spiritual flame? but there's no other spiritual fire besides you and the fire of life here, why would he say that the sky fire is here too." Ling Yan said confusedly.
However after asking, he did not get an answer from his question, Ling Yan began to ask back, but Huo the immortal fire did not make a sound anymore.
"No need to bother asking him boy." Say both dragon heads in unison.
Ling Yan slightly glanced towards that life fire spirit form. "It seems like the time is up." Said Ling Yan.
"Then how is it now." Said Ling Yan again.
The atmosphere felt a little awkward as Ling Yan could not hear Huo's voice anymore in his mind, and he was currently dealing with a life-fire spirit form that seemed to dislike the presence of Ling Yan here.
But suddenly the form of the fire spirit opened his voice which slightly made him break out in cold sweat.
"Eh, I thought you'd.." Said Ling Yan stiffly.
"You think I'm gonna kill you and eat you, hahaha! boy our twin faces look scary, but we're not going to kill the life of the man who saved us." Say both.
Hearing that Ling Yan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief as it turned out that what the immortal flames said was indeed true, but there was still one question on his mind, which was where the existence of the celestial flames that the flames of life were said to be.
"Before I answer your question, will you be able to tell where the sky fire is." Said Ling Yan.
"So you don't know whether the eternal fire doesn't tell you." The fire of life.
"No." Ling Yan replied briefly.
"It seems like the eternal flame has a reason for that, then I won't tell you, I can only tell you that the sky fire is on you." The fire of life.
"Is it me?" Ling Yan grew even more confused after hearing the answer from the flames of life saying that the flames of the sky were on him.
"Now it's your turn to answer my question, once you have my powers, what will you do with them." The fire of life.
Ling Yan fell silent and lowered his head for a moment after hearing the question that the flames of life were casting for him, the shadows of the past began to appear in his mind.
The shadow of all the people who were humbling themselves back then was now filling his mind, all sorts of insults and bad words kept ringing in his ears.
"Basic garbage...."
A little in his mind that he would use that power to avenge all the humiliation he had gotten in the past and show that he was not trash but they were trash.
But the shadow of his parents who always supported him at that time erased all those bad thoughts, the shadow of Ling Haotian, and Ling Xuilan all the people who supported him appeared in his mind.
"Don't use force to take revenge or become arrogant, but use your power to protect everyone you care about." His father's words of advice flashed through his mind.
After a while Ling Yan smiled faintly then again raised his head and looked at the flames of life and said.
"I will use that power to protect everyone I care about." Said Ling Yan steadily.
The flame of life was stunned to hear the boy's reply before him, it had been a long time since the moment he heard those words from his previous master.
"Hehehe the power to protect yes, it's been a long time since I've heard those words." The fire of life.
"Master Shen Long, after such a long time, I finally found a person who truly deserves my power." Inner flame of life.
After a while, the form of life flames then turned into a purple flame and surrounded Ling Yan's body, which was, slowly the flames entered Ling Yan's body and Ling Yan felt an overwhelming heat.
But after a while finally the heat dissipated and the flames of life had already fused with Ling Yan.
