186 Heated Burs (2/2)
This box is already very valuable! Wang Baole's delight was apparent. He opened it up to take a look at the crimson red fragment, and extremely concentrated waves of Spirit Qi wafted continuously from the fragment towards him.
The Spirit Qi carried heat waves as if there was an invisible Heat Spirit situated within it, noiselessly roaring and filling Wang Baole with exhilaration. His entire body tensed up, and his breathing quickened.
There are many kinds of outer space fragments. Some can be directly absorbed into the body, while some could be loaned for use, like those in the Spirit Breath Village. There are some which are like the one I'm holding in my hand right now. Even though they cannot be absorbed, one can feel a vibe that seems to be like an imprint of an awakened state. Wang Baole chanted the information given to him by Chen Yutong's master in his mind. Wang Baole wasn't clear about it at first, but after seeing it with his eyes and feeling the waves of heat emanating from it, he suddenly gained enlightenment.
After a while, Wang Baole took a deep breath. He hesitated for a moment but eventually revealed a look of determination in his eyes as he raised his right hand and immediately pressed it on the fragment—just like Chen Yutong's master had taught him.
The instant his hand touched the fragment, scorching heat began spreading from his fingertips but stopped suddenly, as if waiting for something to happen.
Wang Baole held his breath. At that instant, his cultivation was being activated within his body. As it activated, the scorching heat that had stopped began to erupt, spreading throughout his body from his hands, eventually flowing completely into his head.
Wang Baole's body trembled violently, and his mind immediately buzzed as he instantly lost control of his body and his consciousness.
A while later, as Wang Baole's consciousness recovered, he had forgotten everything—including who he was. The only sensation that remained was that he had transformed into a ball of fire. The world before him was also transforming, and he saw… a hurricane made of fire!
The fire hurricane erupted towards the sky, destroying everything as it swept everything before its eyes. It covered everything and took over his heart and soul.
Days passed. After half a month, Wang Baole sat motionlessly in the cave abode with his legs crossed. There was a crimson red mark between his eyebrows, moving slowly. As it moved, his body trembled, and he opened his eyes slowly, looking confused.
The confusion didn't last long. He slowly regained consciousness, and minutes later, as the blurriness faded, Wang Baole's body tensed up as his breathing quickened. With the complete recovery of his consciousness, he opened his eyes wide as he exhaled deeply.
It feels like a dream… Wang Baole normalized his quickened breathing and lowered his head to look at the box before him. He realized that the fragment that he seemed to have just touched had already become ash. Experiencing all the changes, he raised his head immediately to look at the time, and he realized that he had lost consciousness for half a month. A torrent of thoughts and emotions ran through him.
It was also at that moment that he experienced a sharp pain between his eyebrows. He couldn't feel anything with his hands and proceeded to check it out with a mirror. What he saw shocked him, and he stood up immediately.
This is… Wang Baole was unable to remain calm. He held his breath as he looked at the fire mark that was slowly fading between his eyebrows. After a brief moment, Wang Baole raised his hands and began chanting in his heart according to the method that Chen Yutong's Master had taught him previously.
Fire!
In that instant, a crimson red ball of fire appeared in Wang Baole's palms. Even though it burned strongly, Wang Baole was unable to sense any pain. In his agitation, he raised his right hand and flailed it strongly. Immediately, a miniature sea of fire erupted before him. The heat wave instantly spread throughout the entire cave abode, such that the array formation on the surrounding rock walls showed signs of being scorched.
In his excitement, Wang Baole immediately stopped whatever he was doing. With his will, the surrounding Sea of Fire was instantly retracted back into his right hand at lightning speed.
This is the mystic technique… Heated Burst? Wang Baole was extremely agitated. After circling the cave abode several times, he left as he planned to look for a place outside to test out the force of the mystic technique.
However, just as Wang Baole walked out of his cave abode—prepared to find somewhere to test out the Heated Burst mystic technique—he suddenly received Chen Yutong's voice transmission. The other party sounded urgent, unable to hide his agitation and exhilaration. After Wang Baole switched on his voice transmission ring, he could hear the excitement clearly.
”Junior Brother Baole, something wondrous has happened to our lineage!”
