Xiao Ming and Xue Mao looked confident even as the balls of their feet landed onto the first stairway that was coated in qilin flames. For a moment, the two felt the natural energy and essence of the qilin flame enter their bodies but they could easily withstand it.
Xiao Ming had the mysterious physique he was still unaware about until now and as for Xue Mao, that halo of blue light did not even fluctuate after the first step, this meant that the test of the first step was passable for the two.
Next came the second and the third that contained only a little bit more stronger qilin flame than the first. Xiao Ming and Xue Mao were able to withstand it with so much perseverance as they weren't afraid.
During this time, the blue halo faded considerably as Xue Mao's ice energy was getting refined from the power of the flames. But in Xiao Ming's case, the flames were a source of nutrition.
