228 Undying Fire Body

"Turning my body into fire? Can I be called a human again after that?" That was the first question that Alex had in his mind. Well, considering his Spirits like the wraith or others. He also knew that there might be another humanoid creature he might meet in the future. Sherry might even turn to a human in the future...probably. Even so, leaving his original race just for strength was a matter that he needs to rethink again and again. Even with a cool dragon or phoenix like race, he still needs to think about it before he decides.

[You do not need to worry about that, Host. It will not change your race or something. Your body and race still that of humans, but you can change your fleshly body to fire for a period of time. Take the heart, for example. If someone stabs you at your core. You can change the shape of your heart for a bit by turning it to a fire, and it will return to its original shape after a while. With that, you can avoid death]

"Well, it is surely effective. But I still need to think about it. Just give me a day to ponder it over." Alex said.

[Sure, take your time, Host]

Alex went back to his room and read the rest of the book.

The refining process started from Heart, Meridians, Blood Vessels, Tendons, Bones, Flesh, and finally skin. In total, there were seven refinements. Unfortunately, he needs to refine a herb before he can start the refining process.

First, he needs to refine Magma Flower first, which he had before refining his heart. Second, he needs Blaze Tree Seed. Then, Flamming Heat Lotus, Star Fruit, Fire Grass, Undying Blaze Root, and Red God Crystal. Surprisingly, He had Magma Flower and can start refining his heart. It was such a coincidence that even made him wonder what's going on.

[It is your... luck, Host. You do not need to mind about it]

(AN: I was thinking about using the word 'plot *****' but it might break the fun? not sure about it)

Even though it said 'turning his body into fire'. The first five stages only refined his internal body. Before, he refined his flesh and his skin. He pondered over and over again, not wanting to choose his life plan recklessly.

After thinking for a whole day, Alex finally decided to refine his body. The system also kept advising him. Saying that his body will still be a human, and the function will still be like a human.

Maybe because of this thought. Alex forgot about the promised ingredients from Song Yu. He forgot to wait for Song Yu before refining his body.

He sat down on his bed. According to the manual, he needs to stimulate his Pure Fire into his heart. After that, the Pure Fire will work like magic and do the rest for him. He just needs to resist from turning to a Mascho... Ahem, a guy that aroused with the pain.

Opening the Fire Phoenix Seed, the Pure Fire immediately covered all over his body.

He channeled his Pure Fire and concentrated it in his heart, according to the manual. Upon reaching the heart, his Pure Fire immediately flared up inside his heart. This sent him a massive pain that he can not help but scream as loud as possible. Some of the fire also broke out from his body. The fire was dancing beside his body.

"Argh!"

Although Alex had prepared himself from the pain, the pain was still beyond his imagination. He screamed very loud that even his scream reverberated on the nearby house, which was Putri and Song Yu's house. Song Yu immediately picked up that loud scream with her exceptional hearing and realized that it was Alex's voice.

She suddenly stood up. She just went to purchase the ingredients and wanted to send it to him. Hearing this scream, She knew that the scream was really painful. That means Alex was in immense pain.

When she was about to exit, she met Evelyn.

"Big Sister Song Yu, is there something wrong?" Noticing something wrong from Song Yu's expression, Evelyn asked.

"You come too" Song Yu did not tell her anything and grabbed her, and went to Alex's house.

Since Putri's house was relatively closer to Alex, she also heard about the scream. She anxiously went outside her house. The scream came from Alex's house direction. Suddenly, Song Yu, who was carrying Evelyn, arrived.

They had relatively closer to Alex's house, Evelyn finally heard the loud scream, ringing on her ear. She can feel the pain contained within the scream and noticed that the pain came from Alex's direction.

Reaching Alex's house, the scream was even louder. Evelyn gulped down, hearing the scream she can somehow feel the pain inside Alex's voice. The cool looking guy like Alex screamed like this, he must be in massive pain.

She suddenly looked down. She was wondering if this was his practice. She felt the pain and frustration when Alex trained her was nothing if she compared it to this scream. Evelyn and the rest landed on the field and started running anxiously to Alex's house. Before suddenly, a woman appeared in front of the house.

With her long black hair tied into a ponytail, an otherworldly beauty that put Song Yu, Putri, or even Evelyn to shame, appeared and graced them with her presence. She looked at the trio that wanted to come to the house with her enchanting purple eyes.

"Please wait."

Song Yu and Putri immediately realized who was the one in front of them. It was Alex's illusion. Evelyn was the only one who did not know who she was. She looked at the pretty lady who was wearing a tight black shirt and a skirt with a single white stripe at the bottom of the skirt.

But Evelyn did not have time for trying to know her because the moment she arrived in front of Alex's house gate. She suddenly felt her heart was clenched by something. She did not know why, but she has this feeling. She really wanted to kneel at this moment. She never felt something like this.

"You... you are that illusion girl." Song Yu said with a surprised face.

"My name is Anna Sirius. Young Master is in his practice and can not be disturbed. If not, the consequences will be serious. So, I hope three will go back."

"Anna Sirius? You... Master said he has wives, do not tell me it is you?" Song Yu asked. She felt her cultivation was 2-Star Martial Grandmaster. She remembered that when the first time she showed up, her cultivation was 6-Star Martial Master. Did she hide her cultivation and how can she disappear like the time in front of Martial Arts Pavilion.

"Ah, I really hope for that position. Unless the Young Master has not accepted my yet" Anna shook her head.

"Then, are you really an illusion?" Putri also can not help but ask. She also remembered her cultivation. To think that she suddenly became a 2-Star Martial Grandmaster in a short amount of time, it will shock the entire sect.

"Of course not. Young Master is fine, so I hope all of you can return" Anna said.

They wanted to, but the appearance of Anna really surprised them. Especially, when she said she was not his wife. A peerless beauty that can make them ashamed was not his wife, what exactly was in his mind. If it was other males, they will immediately jump and push her down after seeing this beauty wanted to be their wife.

Looking at their expression, Anna also knew what's on their mind. She chuckled. "Ufufu, Young Master is unique. He will not fall in love with just appearance. Young Master choose to build the relationship first before falling in love. That's why I am contented with my position, and I know that when he loves me back, it will not be able to change. Fufu, Young Master won't bed anyone just because they are pretty, is not that great. There will be no homewrecker around him."

They looked at her with a weird look. Especially when they heard her last sentence. 'Homewrecker?'

They involuntary twitched their eyebrow. Trying to be his wife while there were another two wives... They didn't know what to say as they looked at each other weirdly.

"Well, since he is training, then we will not bother you." Putri said.

Song Yu nodded, then she gave Anna a space ring. "This is what I promised to him, please give this ring to him later."

Anna received the ring in confusion, she looked at the inside and surprised to see so many medicinal ingredients inside. She got curious why there were so many ingredients. 'Don't tell me it is for...'

(AN: Ahem, girl, it is for collaboration...)

Anna suddenly looked at Song Yu with curiosity, she scanned her from up and down. 'Is Young Master like this type?'

She looked at Song Yu's petite figure, she twitched her eyebrows. 'If Young Master like this type, can not he just like the other one?'

Anna looked at Evelyn. She frowned, 'Hmm, Is Young Master choose the future? This little girl might grow up taller and bigger. While this 'Song Yu' is not going to be like that...'

If Alex was here, he might smack her head.

Suddenly, Anna felt something wrong. She noticed Evelyn was sweating profusely. She narrowed her eyes. Looking at Anna's expression, they immediately turned to Evelyn. They were surprised to see that Evelyn, who was silent this whole time, was covered with sweat.

"Evelyn, what happens to you?"

"Are you alright?"

Evelyn gasped as she turned her head to Song Yu and Putri while smiling. "I am alright Big Sisters. I do not know why, but I somehow want to kneel in here."

Song Yu and Putri were bewildered. They looked at each other in confusion. But Anna immediately knew the reason. She can greet Evelyn and the rest calmly even after Alex started screaming, was because she had prior knowledge about Undying Fire Body. When refining the body, the flame will also gush out from Alex's body. Even though they were not too closed, as expected of Pure Fire Element, the king of fire. It was very obvious why Evelyn wanted to kneel. If Alex did not release his fire, then Evelyn will not have any problem, but now that he was refining his body and released his flame. Evelyn, who was close to him, immediately got suppressed.

Anna said, "It might be because of Young Master's training. You will be fine if you get some distance from here."

Song Yu looked at her and nodded. She said, "Then, we will go back first."

Anna nodded. "Then, please take care. I will keep waiting here and protect while he is training."

Song Yu and Putri nodded. Song Yu grabbed Evelyn, and all of them flew away.

After seeing them off, Anna returned to the house. She was not bothered a bit by the scream. She was sure in her heart that Alex would be able to succeed in this. She also knew the previous holder of this Undying Fire Body. How can she not know when the previous holder of this Undying Fire Body was Alex's best friend. The best friend that can keep up with him because of this manual.

Alex kept screaming for many days and nights without stopping. Luckily, he was a cultivator. If he were an ordinary mortal, he would be too exhausted and died in hunger and thirst.

Alex kept screaming for two weeks before calming down. Putri, who heard his screaming all this time plugged her ears with Spiritual Energy. Song Yu's condition was the same. With her exceptional hearing, Alex's scream was a bit bothering. She plugged her ears too.

After two weeks, suddenly, Alex felt the pain had disappeared mysteriously from his heart. All that left was the warm feeling from the remaining fire. Alex tried changing his heart in Fire Form. There was suddenly a hole on his heart covered with fire. He tried to change the heart's shape for a bit. And surprisingly, the heart suddenly changed shape.

"Argh!" Of course, changing the shape of his heart felt like something twisted his heart. It was very painful and weird. He thought that he might be able to be invincible with this technique with nobody can touch him because he was the fire itself like a certain character. But it seems it was not the case. This technique itself had flaws such as it was excruciating. According to the manual, he might also die if he overused it. He shuddered and stopped picturing that 'character'.
