A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1341 Unexpected Turn of Events

Inside the cave, Ye Fan sat cross-legged on the ground.

He sat expressionlessly with energy surrounding him.

The energy slowly coursed into Ye Fan's body as he breathed, making his energy levels rise gradually.

Everything looked utterly peaceful, and no one would have known better about the torture Ye Fan was experiencing.

The same thing happened to Yu Yun when she consumed the ice spirit fruit. Fire spirit fruit contained almost the same amount of pure energy as ice spirit fruit, or maybe even more. After all, the properties of fire tended to be more violent than ice, so fire energy was harder to tame.

It was like a wild horse. If anyone was able to tame one, your might would get redoubled. However, if you failed, you might end up dying under its hooves.

This was life. Great fortune and catastrophe usually went hand in hand.

Despite the great risks involved, Ye Fan chose to consume the fire spirit fruit without any hesitation.

After all, if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to take risks!

Since Ye Fan had chosen this path, he had to accept the risks.

Of course, it wasn't that Ye Fan didn't have any confidence at all.

Ye Fan had used a method found in Book of Celestial Cloud to control the ice energy for Yu Yun, so he was confident of doing the same for the fire energy in his spirit fruit. Moreover, Ye Fan would have a much better success rate after trying it out on Yu Yun.

Ye Fan felt rather confident about absorbing the fire spirit fruit.

Yu Yun was worried that Ye Fan was unable to consume the fire spirit fruit in his condition and might end up aggravating his injuries.

However, Yu Yun swiftly changed her mind. Since Ye Fan was such a prodigy, she shouldn't consider this from the perspective of normal cultivation.

He was capable of finding a way to let her safely absorb the ice spirit fruit, so it made sense that he could do the same for his fire spirit fruit.

That was why Yu Yun decided to give Ye Fan the fire spirit fruit and let him consume it immediately.

But in life, things often went against us.

On the third day, Yu Yun noticed that Ye Fan was in pain.

On the fourth day, his agony only intensified.

Ye Fan's steady breathing also started to sound haggard.

By the fifth day, things became even worse.

Perhaps out of pain, Ye Fan's face had shockingly started to contort.

His face was bright red and looked like he was on fire as beads of sweat trickled down him.

However, the sweat evaporated into thin air before they even landed.

Yu Yun started to panic.

At first, Yu Yun didn't look too worried about this pain Ye Fan was in. She thought it was normal.

After all, she had experienced the same thing when she refined the ice spirit fruit.

Yu Yun eventually noticed something amiss.

She couldn't help feeling worried, looking at the state Ye Fan was in.

"What is going on? Is something wrong?" Yu Yun frowned. However, there was nothing she could do other than worry.

After all, Ye Fan was in the middle of cultivation, so Yu Yun didn't dare to disturb him.

Yu Yun felt frantic as his condition worsened.

She could only pray in her heart and hope that Ye Fan would safely survive this and quickly gain control of the fire energy.

Ye Fan might have been in great pain, but it was an even greater ordeal for Yu Yun.

"What now? What on earth should I do?

Why didn't he tell me how I could help if something went wrong?"

Yu Yun had lost her cool and was frantic.

This was the first time Yu Yun had ever run into such a situation.

Before she came, she had read some relevant books in the sect library and learnt how to refine such spirit fruit.

All of them involved refining the energy from outside the body. Yu Yun had never heard about consuming the fruit first and refining it right away inside the martial artist's body.

Yu Yun thought she was going to die when Ye Fan told her to take the ice spirit fruit.

Fortunately, Ye Fan knew of a way to refine the fruit inside the body.

She ended up successfully refining the ice spirit fruit with Ye Fan's help.

Since Ye Fan was capable of helping her absorb her spirit fruit, he should have no problem doing the same for himself.

She didn't expect this to happen.

"This won't do. Even if he doesn't spiral into madness, he might die of thirst."

Yu Yun anxiously watched as steam rose from the young man.

All the fluid in Ye Fan's body was turning into vapor because of the fire spirit fruit.

If Ye Fan didn't stop to replenish his fluids, he might end up being a dry corpse.

Yu Yun ripped a strip of cloth from her clothing and went to the lakeside and dipped it into the water. After she went back to the cave, she wiped Ye Fan's burning hot crimson forehead with the damp cloth. She did this firstly to help lower Ye Fan's temperature, secondly, to help replenish his fluid levels.

"This isn't working. The energy from the fire spirit fruit is simply too powerful. This is too inefficient and unable to solve the problem. I have to do something else to help him deal with the effects of the fire energy."

After going to the lake repeatedly, Yu Yun realized this was completely ineffective.

She decided to give up and come up with something else.

"The fire spirit fruit contains the element of fire while the ice spirit fruit contains the element of ice. That means that my internal energy should be able to help suppress fire energy."

Very quickly, a notion crossed Yu Yun's mind. She instantly considered using her internal energy to help Ye Fan control the fire inside him.

"If I channeled internal energy right into Ye Fan, would it clash with his? Would it make him spiral into madness?"

Yu Yun was in a dilemma.

It was taboo to disturb a martial artist during cultivation.

Yu Yun was genuinely concerned that she might end up doing Ye Fan more harm than good.

She spent an entire night worrying about this.

On the sixth day, Ye Fan continued to deteriorate.

His skin was like hot iron and almost as

red as blood.

Also, the hot violent energy was coursing through his body wildly.

Ye Fan's breathing became even more rapid and seemed like he was on the brink of collapse.
