A short while later, Long Zhen came bouncing out of Shen Haoran's room, looking as if he'd just gotten his hands on some incredible treasure. Shen Haoran watched his naive, retreating figure and shook his head. 'This kid... He'll believe anything I make up. He's hopeless!'
But a moment later, a pained expression returned to Shen Haoran's face as he stared at the giant black cauldron Long Zhen had left behind, unsure of what to do with it.
Shen Haoran had seen this giant black cauldron before; it was the same one from his bet with Elder Huo back at the Shen Family estate. Today, Elder Huo had brought it out again. According to him, if Shen Haoran wanted to practice the Fire Manipulation Technique, he first had to bring the water in this cauldron to a boil!
