Another master, called Master Luo, frowned and said, "Anomalous Fire is indeed powerful, but its effectiveness depends on who is using it. You're so young and haven't possessed the Anomalous Fire for long. I'd wager your control over it is elementary at best. Resisting such a terrifying Nine Nether Flame is just a pipe dream."
There are several levels of mastery over fire control: entry-level, skilled, adept, integrated mastery, and consummate. The higher the level of mastery, the stronger the power of the flames one could unleash. Although Anomalous Fire was incredibly fearsome, it was even harder to control. An entry-level Anomalous Fire couldn't unleash much power at all.
At least, to these Fourth-rank Alchemy Masters, it was hardly worth their notice. In their eyes, Lin Xuan was simply no match for them, let alone capable of withstanding the Nine Nether Flame.
