The Ultimate Showdown of the Family Competition

The final round of the Family Competition had arrived, and Fen Jin stood at one corner of the arena, his heartbeat steady and calm. Today, his opponent would be Fen Hao—once hailed as the most talented of the younger generation, and the one who had mocked Fen Jin as a worthless failure.

Fen Jin's eyes were locked onto Fen Hao, and rather than fear, a subtle sense of anticipation brewed within him. This battle was not just about revenge; it was about whether he could truly control the power of the Ghostly Remnant Flame.

"Fen Jin, today you will understand that your so-called awakening is nothing but a joke," Fen Hao sneered from across the arena, his eyes gleaming with disdain, his hands glowing with Dou Qi. His Dou Qi had already surpassed the ninth stage, making him an acknowledged genius within the Fen family, far stronger than anyone else.

"You're the one who's dreaming," Fen Jin coldly responded, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

The referee's voice rang out, and the battle began.

Fen Hao charged forward like a wild beast, his fists brimming with intense Dou Qi, racing toward Fen Jin. The air trembled as their strikes collided, a deafening roar filling the arena. Fen Jin took a deep breath, quickly channeling his Dou Qi. The power of the Ghostly Remnant Flame surged once again, wrapping his body in eerie green flames that radiated a formidable aura.

"Come at me," Fen Jin said coldly, unflinching.

Fen Hao's punch shot toward him with lightning speed. Fen Jin deftly evaded, his body flashing with incredible agility. At the same time, he retaliated with a powerful punch of his own.

"Boom!"

The two collided with explosive force, sending shockwaves throughout the arena. The air seemed to freeze in that instant. Fen Hao staggered back slightly, clearly surprised by the strength of Fen Jin's counterattack. His eyes narrowed in growing unease.

"You..." Fen Hao gritted his teeth, his gaze sharpening. "How is this possible? When did you become so strong?"

Fen Jin didn't respond. His focus was entirely on Fen Hao's movements. The power of the Ghostly Remnant Flame roared within him. Though he could feel the immense strength it provided, he still couldn't fully control it. Every time he unleashed the flames, he felt its oppressive weight on his body—the burning pain that kept him on the edge of collapse.

But today, he was no longer the powerless failure. In the face of Fen Hao, he had made a decision: he would no longer hold back. He would wield this power with all his might, no matter the cost.

"Ghostly Remnant Flame, give me strength!" Fen Jin whispered, his resolve hardening with every word.

At that moment, he opened his heart completely, and the connection between him and the Ghostly Remnant Flame deepened, as though the flames had become an extension of his own body. In an instant, his aura exploded in a wave of ferocity, the eerie green flames surging through his form like a vicious serpent.

"Boom!"

Fen Jin swung his fist, stronger than ever before. His punch carried the unstoppable force of nature, pushing Fen Hao back several steps. Fen Hao's face turned pale as he felt the overwhelming pressure of Fen Jin's power, even though his own Dou Qi was still formidable.

"What... is this power?" Fen Hao thought to himself, shaken. The searing heat from Fen Jin's internal flames wasn't just the fluctuation of Dou Qi—it was something far beyond his understanding.

"Die!" Fen Hao roared, his hands sweeping through the air. Dou Qi surged around him, condensing into a powerful force aimed at Fen Jin. This was one of the Fen family's most powerful techniques—the Flame Palm.

But Fen Jin's eyes flashed with coldness. He immediately activated the Ghostly Remnant Flame to its maximum potential. The eerie green fire erupted, condensing into a blinding pillar of flame that charged toward Fen Hao's Flame Palm.

"Boom!"

The two tremendous forces collided in midair, creating an earth-shattering explosion. The entire arena was engulfed in flames, the surrounding air shuddering violently under the intense heatwave. Fen Jin stood firm, his body like a phoenix in the heart of the fire, his eyes gleaming with an unspoken determination.

"How can this be?" Fen Hao's body trembled violently. He could feel that he was no longer a match for Fen Jin. The power of the Ghostly Remnant Flame had completely overpowered his Dou Qi.

Fen Jin's fist struck again. This time, his entire body surged with the Ghostly Remnant Flame, the force behind his punch powerful enough to tear through anything in its path. Fen Hao couldn't react in time before Fen Jin's punch landed, sending him flying through the air, crashing to the ground and gasping in pain.

"You've lost," Fen Jin said, standing tall in the center of the arena. His eyes glowed with a cold, unwavering light. His heartbeat remained steady, but deep down, he knew this battle was far from over.

The family competition had finally come to an end. Fen Jin had decisively defeated Fen Hao with overwhelming force, but the victory brought him more than just joy. It gave him a profound understanding of the Ghostly Remnant Flame's power.

He knew he had not yet fully mastered it. The flame still raged within him, constantly threatening to go out of control. Moreover, he was beginning to realize that there were more complex conspiracies hidden behind this power.

"This is just the beginning," Fen Jin whispered to himself, his gaze determined. He took a deep breath, preparing himself for the challenges ahead.

Today, he hadn't just won the respect of his family; he had also discovered the true strength within himself, forged through his struggle against the Ghostly Remnant Flame. Whether this power would lead him to greater heights or pull him into an abyss, he was ready.

Because he knew, the only one who could decide his fate... was himself.
