Chapter 049: Success of Hun Feng

"Father, I..." Hun yu tried to weakly interject, wanting to say that he hadn't failed completely.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Hun Tiandi interrupted him sternly, "Hun yu, a failure is a failure. Once you recover from your injuries, abandon your current cultivation and return to your original techniques. The Flame Mantra is not suitable for you. From now on, you have no chance of becoming the Young Master. Take care of yourself!"

After speaking, Hun Tiandi left Hun yu's room, taking the Fallen Heart Flame with him.

Hun yu remained lying on the ground, devastated by Hun Tiandi's words. His mind went blank, and he fainted completely.

Hun yu understood that he was forever barred from inheriting the position of the Young Master.

Unless...

Unless Hun Feng also failed in cultivating the Flame Mantra.

If Hun Feng's attempt ended in failure, then Hun yu and Hun Feng would be on equal footing once again.

Meanwhile, Hun Tiandi left Hun yu's room and appeared in Hun Feng's courtyard, his gaze fixed on Hun Feng who was refining the Bone Chilling Flame.

Hun yu had already failed, and if Hun Feng also failed, his plan would be completely ruined.

Fortunately, compared to Hun yu, Hun Feng was refining the Bone Chilling Flame, which ranked slightly higher on the list of Heavenly Flames. However, he wasn't facing the same fate as Hun yu, who had "burned himself to ashes."

Hun Feng's refinement of the Bone Chilling Flame proceeded smoothly, without any unexpected mishaps.

With a sound, Hun Feng slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips. He extended his palm and with a thought, a strand of white flame flickered within it.

As long as Hun Feng willed it, this strand of white flame could transform into a fierce blaze or even a sea of fire. Of course, this was on the condition that he had sufficient Dou Qi to support it.

"My strength has reached the Dou Ling level, and my cultivation technique has advanced to the Intermediate Profound Stage," Hun Feng exclaimed with joy as he stored away the flame and sensed the state of his body.

"Father didn't deceive me. This technique can indeed evolve!"

"I wonder if that guy Hun yu succeeded in refining it?"

Hun Feng couldn't help but think of Hun yu, who was also cultivating the same technique. If he had succeeded, Hun yu should be no exception.

In the void, Hun Tiandi observed Hun Feng's successful refinement of the Heavenly Flame and the evolution of the Flame Mantra.

His lips curled into a smile, revealing a wicked grin. "Feng'er truly is my son. He successfully refined the Heavenly Flame. It seems he is not as pathetic as I imagined!"

Saying so, Hun Tiandi vanished and reappeared in Hun Feng's room.

"Father!" Hun Feng looked at Hun Tiandi, who appeared before him, and quickly bowed respectfully.

Although inside, he felt joyous.

It had always been his father summoning him, and he had never taken the initiative to come to him.

Now, his father appeared in his room.

To Hun Feng, this was a good start! It meant he was gaining more and more of his father's attention.

The position of the Young Master was undoubtedly his.

Hun Tiandi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the lowered head of Hun Feng. He nodded slightly, satisfied, and said, "Congratulations, Feng'er. You have successfully refined the Bone Chilling Flame."

Hun Feng replied, "Thanks to the cultivation technique bestowed by Father."

"The technique bestowed by Father is truly extraordinary. It can actually devour Heavenly Flames and evolve. My Flame Mantra has now become an Intermediate Profound Stage technique, and I have also advanced to the Dou Ling level."

"Hmm," Hun Tiandi nodded.

"Very good. You've done well. Barring any unexpected circumstances, you will be the Young Master in the future."

Hun Tiandi had two sons.

If Hun yu failed in cultivating the Flame Mantra while Hun Feng succeeded, who would inherit the position of the Young Master?

Hun Tiandi had his own criteria.

"Thank you, Father!" Hun Feng, upon hearing his father's words, first became slightly stunned but quickly grew excited.

His body trembled.

The position of the Young Master had always been contested between him and Hun yu.

Hun Tiandi, their father, had never explicitly stated who would become the Young Master, leaving it up to them to compete for it.

And now, his father declared that the position of the Young Master was his. How could Hun Feng not be excited?

After all, this was the position of the Young Master. The Soul Clan hadn't had a Young Master for many years.

If Hun Feng became the Young Master, would the day he became the Soul Clan's patriarch be far behind?

As for the phrase "barring any unexpected circumstances" that his father, Hun Tiandi, mentioned, Hun Feng disregarded it completely.

Unexpected circumstances? If he became the Young Master, how could any unexpected circumstances arise? He would make sure of it.

Hun Tiandi said, "Feng'er, don't thank me so hastily. You've only refined the first Heavenly Flame. If you want to firmly establish your position as the Young Master of the Soul Clan, you need to refine the second Heavenly Flame, the third Heavenly Flame, and more."

Upon hearing this, Hun Feng quickly nodded and replied, "Feng'er will not disappoint Father. Please rest assured."

"Hmm!" Hun Tiandi nodded in satisfaction. He extended his hand, and Fallen Heart Flame appeared, moving toward Hun Feng.

Hun Feng looked at the Fallen Heart Flame suspended before him, slightly stunned. He asked, "Father, wasn't this Fallen Heart Flame intended for Hun yu's refinement?"

Before Hun Feng's words could fully settle, he quickly realized something and looked at Hun Tiandi with a hint of surprise. "Father, did Hun yu fail?"

Hun Feng found it difficult to believe his own thoughts.

The Flame Mantra was quite simple!

If Hun yu succeeded in cultivating it, there was no reason for him to fail in refining the Heavenly Flame!

After all, Hun Feng successfully refined the Bone Chilling Flame, although it was challenging.

Hun yu shouldn't have had any trouble refining the Fallen Heart Flame.

But now, the Fallen Heart Flame appeared in the hands of his father, Hun Tiandi. It meant that Hun yu had failed to refine it.

Hun Feng had always considered Hun yu as his rival, but he had greatly overestimated him. Hun yu was never his match.

With the previous words of Hun Tiandi and the Fallen Heart Flame he presented, Hun Feng was now certain.

Hun yu had failed. His younger brother no longer had the qualifications to contend for the position of the Young Master.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly and said, "You guessed right, Hun yu has failed. Take this Fallen Heart Flame for yourself. Refining the first Heavenly Flame was only the beginning. Now, your task is to refine the second Heavenly Flame."

"The father has great confidence in you. Once you successfully refine the second Heavenly Flame, since you have an interest in women, the father can swallow his pride and arrange a marriage proposal with the Gu Clan's Gu Yuan. I've heard that Gu Yuan's daughter is quite attractive."
