--- Chapter 44 ---
In the desert, Baek Ain ditated under the sun and felt Dou Qi filling his body like no tomorrow. After reaching the Record of Burning World's 3rd Stage, Baek Ain's control over Golden Fla increased trendously.
Not to be mistaken with Gno's Heavenly Four-Colored Fla, Golden Fla is a Spiritual Fire that ca straight from his soul. It started as a tiny yellow spark but eventually grew stronger over months.
With the blessing of Golden Crow, Baek Ain cultivated this Spiritual Fire to the level of Heavenly Fla, despite only using it to enhance Gno's Fla because his control is horrible.
"Fuu..."

[Breathing's Proficiency 0.5%]
[Ding! Innate Skill: Breathing(A) has beco stronger]
[Breathing(A) >>> Breathing(A )]
"Haha, nice." Baek Ain laughed sowhat proudly.
Lifting himself from the ground, Baek Ain used his hands and propelled himself up. He landed on his foot and stretched around, feeling the perfect sensation of his muscle flexing gently.
He's in his 100% performance today.
Unfortunately, Baek Ain needed 400% of that performance to win against Queen dusa.
"For fuck sake, where is my cheat when I required one? Like Stand Power and other bullshit from ani." Baek Ain couldn't help but complain in displeasure. After all, his only cheat is to transmigrate randomly.
[You might get one in the future, host] Alicia comnted monotonously.
"Oh, Yeah? Of course, I'd get one when I die, that's it."
[...]
"Do you have a direct line to the Goddess of Opportunity, Alicia?"
[Negative. A higher being like the "Goddess of Opportunity." passed through my defense so effortlessly, so the ssage and quest act one way only]
"In that case, I sincerely said "Thank you." for the impossible quest." Baek Ain's voice is filled with sarcasm enough for a system like Alicia to notice.
[...]
[Dark thoughts are negatively affecting you, host]
[Even though the "Goddess of Opportunity." is unfair, your growth so far is proving its effectiveness]
[Please bear it, host. Constellations cannot issue too many quests within a year. And you have received three directly from the "Goddess of Opportunity." which ans you won't receive any next year]
"Finally, a useful piece of information."
"Thank you, Alicia."
[...You're welco]
Baek Ain smiled, knowing the Goddess of Opportunity won't ddle with his life next year. The following year after that would be rather grim, but Baek Ain should be strong enough to handle most of the problems of this world.
Baek Ain returned to the Rock Desert City and saw his companions waiting for him. He smiled and greeted them casually, "Morning."
Lan Rou smiled and returned, "Morning, Ain."
"Morning..." Yi Xian responded sowhat quietly. Baek Ain could see her complicated emotion, knowing her savior might die in battle a few hours later.
"Morning, Boss!" Qing Lin responded with full vigor. Even though Qing Lin knew Baek Ain would fight Queen dusa, she had 100% trust in Baek Ain's abilities. After all, he was the one who saved her from the horrible snake people.
Hai Bodong suspiciously gazes at Baek Ain because how does his niece's fiance play around with won like this? It makes him question Baek Ain's relationship with Yafei. And since Hai Bodong still lived in his library, he didn't know Baek Ain was clapping Lan Rou's cheeks last night.
Baek Ain faked a cough and grabbed the Green-Colored Lotus Pendant from his inventory. It's a beautiful pendant with a green gem that resembles a lotus tied with root-like chains.
"Here, these pendants gave you protection against extre heat. I know you three are stubborn enough and want to watch the fight, but please do it cautiously." He handed the Green-Colored Lotus Pendants to his female companions. "So wear this, and it will protect you."
"Okay." They answered imdiately.
"Good." Baek Ain was happy inside while glancing at Hai Bodong.
Hai Bodong sighed and comnted, "I'll clear the area surrounding Queen dusa's territory, so no Dou Kings or pests will ss with your fight."
"Do your best and take over the Green Lotus Core Fla."
"For Uncle Tengshan." Baek Ain confidently returned.
"For Tengshan." Hai Bodong agreed with Baek Ain's words by nodding his head.
Baek Ain whistled and called for Heavenly Gryphon, watching the 5-rank magical beast descend to the desert. He jumped to the beast and said farewell to his companions, "Well, see you soon."
"Ain..." Yi Xian watched the lone young man's silhouette disappear into the horizon.
"Once you witness the miracle Baek Ain could create, fears won't cross your mind." Lan Rou comnted casually. "Well, I trusted Ain as much as I trusted myself."
"Stop rambling. Follow quietly." Hai Bodong moved out from Rock Desert City.
"That brat has his task, and we have ours."
Lan Rou, Yi Xian, and Qing Lin nodded affirmatively. They followed Hai Bodong to the Tager Desert's inner area, entering the living space of the Snake People.
...
...
Baek Ain arrived at the front gate of the Snake People Tribe. He looked down and noticed so individuals approaching him with an aggressive aura.
"Human. Scram from our land!" A snake woman shouted at Baek Ain.
"Scram before we kill you!!"
Baek Ain didn't feel the threat from this woman and moved his gaze deep into the land with Cinder's Eyes. His Sixth Sense also explored the area more.
'She's there.'
A strong presence is looming inside the land, sitting on the gold throne majestically. She has a beautiful woman's upper physique and lower body like a snake covered with pinkish-red scales, wearing a revealing purple robe, a crown on top of her head, and a veil to cover her flawless face.
As if she noticed Baek Ain's observation, her red eyes pierced through miles away and stared back at him.
"Human, I warned you already!!!" The snake woman lunged toward Baek Ain, throwing her spear at him.
Baek Ain pulled Corrupted Scythe out and swung it gently, parrying the spear off. He used Heavenly Gryphon as a platform and kicked the spear back at the snake woman, stabbing her snake's tail in the process.
BAM!
"ARRGGGHHHH!"
The snake woman was pinned onto the ground, leaving her fellow snake people speechless. They couldn't even see what happened between her and Baek Ain, and she got launched back to the ground already.
Bear in mind this exchange occurred in the sky. And that snake woman is a 7-star Dou King.
"Yue i!"
"Human, how dare you?!" They surrounded Baek Ain, but before they could attack him.
Baek Ain summoned his Wings of Freedom and surpassed the snake people in the area, attacking their vital area without killing them.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
"I'm not here for you guys." He kicked the air and disappeared from the gate.
Baek Ain's figure flashed miles away after kicking the air continuously. He arrived at the oasis surrounded by a garden-like forest and saw Queen dusa waiting for him.
She didn't seem surprised and showed sowhat surprise in her bored red eyes.
Queen dusa exuded an arrogant presence from her body. She has the right to do so because she was the ruler of this place.
"Interesting, human. I haven't seen one for years, but you must have so guts to et this queen." Her voice is alluring with confidence.
Baek Ain smiled and replied, "My na is Baek Ain. I'm here to challenge Queen dusa in a fight and bet."
"Fight ?" Queen dusa has never heard such a good joke in a while.
"You, a re 1-Star Dou King, want to challenge ?"
"10-Star Dou Emperor? Hahaha~!"
Baek Ain maintained his smile and provoked her with the oldest trick in the book, "Are you afraid?"
BOOM!
The oasis filled with intense pressure as Queen dusa sat straight on her golden throne. She gazed at Baek Ain and said, "Such a good joke..."
"And you even dared to provoke pettily. It seems death wasn't an issue for you."
"You can kill if you can?" Baek Ain shrugged casually.
"However, let's put our bet first. If I win, I want Green Lotus Core Fla."
BAM!
Queen dusa flicked her finger and sent an energy projectile at Baek Ain. It was moving at unbelievable speed and reached his head almost instantly.
Clank! BOOM!
Baek Ain parried the energy projective and sent it down, making the ground explode.
'Hmm? It seems he isn't all talk.' Queen dusa frowned inside.
She was "actually." amused by this young human's abilities and decided to play with his small ga. "What if I win?" She asked while pressuring him with killing intent enough to make the other Dou Emperor pale and crap their pants.
Baek Ain gave her a solemn look and confidently answered, "I'll give you a 7-Tier Pill: Heaven Swallowing Python Pill and a chance."
"A chance?" Queen dusa was confused for a mont
"Yes. A chance to beco my wife."
"..." Queen dusa.
[...] Alicia.
