Second round (22)

After the first moment, I realized that the temperature was rising rapidly.

Since that five minute mark, it was as if the temperature of the room kept climbing and climbing. It was as if we were in an oven and someone had just turned that oven on.

The heat was similar to getting closer and closer to the blue phoenix at first, but then it became even hotter than standing beside the blue phoenix.

This was a heat that was making me sweat buckets, but that wasn't it.

I could actually feel my skin getting burned from the air that was around me.

This was not a heat that I could endure at this rate, so I had no choice but to stop running and take out the gem that Bing Xin gave me to keep myself cool.

This only worked for a few seconds before the heat was too strong even for the gem to stop.
