79 Train and Trial

The entirety of the pond heated up to an alarming temperature, giving off the bizarre and frightening scene of Fang Xing being cooked alive inside a pot of boiling water while sitting stoically in the center as though unable to feel any of its heat. This was actually because the source of the pond’s boiling was the surge of heat from his body; the temperature of his body was even more alarming than the pond’s.

As the temperature of the water rose, the boiling only grew wilder with streams of white steam shooting right up towards the heavens. Heavy white smog covered the entirety of the pond, hiding Fang Xing completely from view. It wasn’t until quite some time later that a long howl broke out from the pond, its sound like that of a dragon seeking to shake the earth. Along with the dragon-like howl, the temperature of the pond also began to gradually cool.
