15 Power of the runes. (1/2)
Li Yang did not leave immediately after awakening his memories. First, he wanted to experiment a little bit. He started by drawing upon the energy from his fire rune, interacting with the natural Qi around him. He found that he could interact with the surrounding Qi with ease as if a simple wave of his hand would cause it to follow his orders like loyal soldiers.
Drawing upon the power of his fire rune, crimson flames blazed into existence in the air around him. The crimson flames blazed with a terrifying temperature, scorching the earth black and almost melting some of the smaller rocks in the area around Li Yang. Li Yang was slightly surprised upon seeing this.
This was just the weakest type of crimson fire, yet it already held such strength. What if he found stronger types of fire in the future and managed to absorb them, how strong would his fire be then?
Seeing this fire, Jinwu's eyes lit up as it jumped up and flapped its wings, shakily flying into the fire. Li Yang was just about to pull back the fire when he noticed that Jinwu seemed to enjoy bathing in the fire, the heat incapable of even harming his feathers.
”A divine beast really is a divine beast.”
Li Yang couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw this. He had wondered why the child of the Golden Crow looked like a normal crow, but upon seeing it bathe in the fire like it was nothing, there was no doubt that it really was the child of a Golden Crow.
Li Yang also noticed that Jinwu was not only enjoying bathing in the fire but also seemed to be nourished by it. After bathing in the fire for a short while, Jinwu flew out of the fire, landing on Li Yang's shoulder with a satisfied expression. It slightly pecked his neck, opening its mouth and letting out a few caws.
”You can improve your strength by bathing in fire and ice? But it has to be higher quality than this little candle I brought out? Why ice, aren't you a Golden Crow?”
Li Yang could understand what Jinwu was trying to convey. Upon understanding the first sentence, he was both surprised and confused, it could improve itself by bathing in both fire and ice? But upon understanding the second sentence, he couldn't help but be slightly exasperated.
He was fairly satisfied with the fire he had conjured forth, but this little fellow called it a little candle. He couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile, a divine beast really has high standards, even if it had been born just recently.
Jinwu responded to his question with a few more caws and a gesture that seemed to be it trying to shrug its shoulders. Li Yang couldn't help but feel a slight headache when he understood what Jinwu meant. He himself did not know why he could strengthen himself by using both fire and ice, only that its bloodline had told him that he could.
”Fine, fine. We'll look for some high-quality fire and ice while we are traveling, I'm sure that we will find some eventually.”
Li Yang could do nothing but shake his head. Even in the memories of his past life had he ever seen a Golden Crow that could use both fire and ice to strengthen itself, so he had no idea what to do about it. He decided to put the matter aside for the moment, the truth would probably reveal itself once Jinwu grew stronger.
