In this competition to rise above others, using only one Divine Fire out of four was bound to attract attention.
Fortunately, Tong Mingshan wasn't foolish. With so many people watching him, it was impossible for him not to notice something unusual as he looked around, but he wasn't in a hurry to make changes.
He revealed a white flame to refine the Star Sand, which was a calculated move. He wanted to see if using the Samadhi True Fire would expose him. His earlier judgment was that it wouldn't be easily recognized in daylight, but that was merely speculation.
While everyone was observing him, he was also watching them.
Seeing no one react visibly, he then released the Black Fire to test and observe further.
Only at this moment did Shi Chun's face reveal a thoughtful expression, seemingly having guessed Tong Mingshan's intentions.
By the time Tong Mingshan confirmed there were no issues, half the 15-minute window had already elapsed.
