Memories!

As the augmentation finished, an influx of massive memories flooded Xu Mus mind.

Familiar, yet strange!

These were all about the experiences with the Fire-controlling Skill!

Such experiences felt like they were collected from days on end, years on end, summarizing and learning, continually progressing and honing.

Xu Mu closed his eyes, his mind turning inward.

Continuously absorbing these great memories!

A while passed!

Phew!

Xu Mu let out a long breath.

Luckily, I didnt try to add it all at once; otherwise, I might have been paralyzed by the influx of memories!

Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he only added seventy-seven Luck Value points, at the rate Xu Mu had been cultivating previously, it wouldve taken him years to achieve this.

Having years worth of memories added at once, you can only imagine how it felt.

However,

The improvement was truly exhilarating!

Snapped!

Xu Mu flicked his fingers, and

Puff!

An orange flame sprang from his fingernail.

Xu Mu extended his right hand, waved it in mid-air, whoosh! A big flame appeared in front of him.

He withdrew his right hand, putting his left and right hands together.

His fingers danced swiftly, making numerous spells in an instant.

Whoosh!

In the twisting flames, a flapping fire bird quickly formed, just like a phoenix reborn from the flames.

The bird soared into the sky then dove towards a rock on the ground.

Just as it was about to strike, it suddenly halted.

Xu Mu felt a cold sweat on his forehead.

His wife and daughter had just gone to sleep.

If the fire bird had struck, wouldnt it wake them up!

Babies are truly hard to soothe!

He squeezed the Finger Jue.

The fire bird instantly transformed into a fire snake that coiled around the rock and slowly lifted it from the ground.

It flew to more than a mans height, then it started to falter.

Xu Mu quickly lowered it.

Its more than double as easy as before! Im afraid the impact is the same! Just not sure how powerful it is when compressed?

Theres no room in the house for testing!

Truly, if a compression attack was made,

Not only would his wife and daughter wake up, the whole lanes residents could potentially be roused from their slumber.

But

Trying a bit of compression would be fine, dispersing it right before the limit.

The fire snake quickly flew to him and under his control, it shrunk into a small spinning ball. From the size of a human face, it quickly shrank to fist-size.

From orange-red, to blood-red, and then to dark red!

The faint oscillation in the center startled Xu Mu and he quickly dispersed it.

This compressed fireballs explosive force might already reach tier two skill level, the power is exponentially increased, which is completely different from the increase in pulling force and attack power!

Perhaps,

In the future, it could become a godlike skill!

Xu Mu was extremely excited!

But this compressed fireball felt like a chemical reaction.

In the late stages, he felt a sense of losing control.

Its merely because his cultivation level is too low!

To produce a compressed fireball, not only control is required, but the spirit also must be strong enough to withstand it, otherwise, it will get out of control.

This is merely at the Perfection level, if its enhanced to the Transcendent level, wouldnt that be

Xu Mu didnt dare to think.

Because, he might be blown up!

Xu Mu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to restore his Spiritual Power and spirit.

After regaining state,

He opened up the system panel again and added Luck Value to the Fire-controlling Skill.

However,

This time he acted smarter, only adding ten points at a time. Once the experience was absorbed, he added more.

It took him half an hour to upgrade his Fire-controlling Skill to Mastery level with eight hundred Luck Value points.

Phew!

Xu Mu rested for a bit!

He snapped his fingers and flames were released.

Only squeezing one Finger Jue, the flame felt like an extension of him.

With a single thought!

Gug!

The flames transformed into a bird; each plume of feathers was visible.

Hiss!

Flames turned into a fire snake; the sleek texture was clearly seen.

Then came the tiger, deer, rabbit, eagle, etc., no need to control, just through imagination, they could be formed.

Xu Mu cast a spell,

And the flame completely covered a rock that weighed tens of lbs from the ground!

He felt no pressure at all.

Whoosh!

The rock turned into a fireball, like a meteor, flying around the room.

This can be directly used to hit people!

Xu Mus eyes sparkled with excitement.

He could not imagine that merely the tier one Fire-controlling Skill, when cultivated to the Master level, could have such incredible power.

As for the compressed fireball, he didnt dare to try.

Rest and recover!

And then started to add Luck Value again!

From Master level to Grandmaster level, it required a total of sixteen hundred Luck Value points for the Fire-controlling Skill!

Xu Mu spent two hours adding them.

He was left with a throbbing headache and extreme fatigue.

He didnt have the energy to try again, his head barely hit the pillow, and he fell asleep.

When he awoke,

It was already the next afternoon!

Waah, waah!

His daughter was loudly crying by his side.

Xu Mu looked around, but his wife was nowhere to be seen.

He jumped up!

Leaving the bedroom, he saw his wife bustling in the kitchen.

Just after giving birth, you cant get out of bed; go rest quickly!

Its all my fault! I cultivated too long yesterday!

Xu Mu was full of remorse.

He had just resolved to not let his wife suffer yesterday, and today he let her, who had just given birth, do tasks.

Such a slap in the face!

I feel quite good! Its not that severe, Ye Ying Ying replied, a soft smile emerging on her pale face.

Listen!

Xu Mus face hardened a little.

Yes!

Ye Yingying lowered her head, acting very obedient.

Like a child who had done something wrong.

Xu Mu forced a bitter smile, unable to reprimand her further.

I just dont want you to end up with some lingering illness because of this!

Mmm! I understand what you mean!

Ye Yingyings face lit up with a smile once again.

Innocent, naive!

Xu Mu held her tenderly, gave her a gentle hug, and carried her back.

After dinner.

Ye Yingying took care of the child!

Xu Mu returned to the storeroom to experiment with the power of the Grandmaster-level Fire-controlling Skill.

Poom!

Flames erupted between his fingers!

No need for the spell, everything came naturally as if it was instinct.

Xu Mu moved his fingers slightly.

The flame transformed into a vividly alive bird.

You could even see feathers on it, blowing in the wind!

The bird flapped its wings, after traversing the rooftop, it landed on Xu Mus shoulder and lightly pecked his clothes.

Full of wit, as though it were alive!

Haha! This is incredible!

Xu Mu was taken aback by his own capabilities.

It was simply inconceivable!

If I continued cultivating at my previous pace, I would most likely never reach this level in my lifetime!

Though the Fire-controlling Skill is low-tier, the difficulty in its advanced cultivation was equally astonishing.

Not only the Fire-controlling Skill!

Any skill is easy to learn but hard to master, and the difficulty increases exponentially in the advanced stages.

Hence,

Most cultivators tend to just get a taste of the skills and then retreat.

In their minds, as long as they improve, they can cultivate higher-tier skills. Hence, theres no need to struggle with low-tier ones.

Xu Mu had no choice.

Otherwise,

He wouldnt have invested so much Luck Value in the Fire-controlling Skill.

Why not cultivate a high-tier skill?

Boom!

The flaming bird dispersed and turned into stardust, igniting the black stone on the ground once again.

Fwoom!

Just like an actual meteorite from the heavens!

As rocks flew around, a series of sonic booms was heard!

With that kind of power, even a tier-six Qi Cultivator would vomit blood after one hit!

Xu Mu put down the stone, and excitedly paced around in the room.

Then, another idea hit him,

Could I do this!

A small flame appeared on the tip of his fingernail!

The flame shrank and turned into a dark red bead, the size of a soybean.

Xu Mu flicked it!

Boom!

The fire bead hit the stone and exploded, instantly blowing a large hole in it.

Cracks covered the stone, and it was on the verge of breaking apart!

Frick!

Xu Mu was shocked yet again by his own abilities.

The explosions impact was almost stronger than the tier-one Fireball Skill!

And the spiritual power he expended was less than one-tenth of the Fireball Skill.

Its speed was several times the Fireballs too!

Small target, powerful, easy to use, this is a divine skill for sneak attacks!

From now on, youll be called Fire Bullet Skill!

Xu Mu ran some more tests and became even more proficient in the Fire-controlling Skill.

As for the noise Xu Mu made in the room, Ye Yingying did not come to check.

Xu Mu had instructed previously,

Without his permission, she should not enter when hes cultivating.

Ye Yingying strictly adhered to that.

Although Ye Yingying lacked talent, had low cultivation, and no experience or cunning, she obeyed orders!

Very much so!

She was submissive and docile!

For Xu Mu, that was more than enough.

At this moment, the system panel showed,

[Fire-controlling Skill Grandmaster: 0/3200]

[Luck Value: 7543]

Including the ten points of Luck Value earned today!

Xu Mu was itching to upgrade the Fire-controlling Skill directly to the Transcendent tier.

But he knew,

He couldnt!

The shift from Grandmaster to Transcendent held too many memories, there was no way he could absorb them all in one go.

Especially at the moment of the breakthrough,

All sorts of perceptions would come flooding in, causing potential mental fragmentation.

The Grandmaster-level Fire-controlling Skill is more than enough for now!

Progressing further would be like the difference between a child holding a cluster bomb and one holding a nuclear bomb.

Either way, they would die while killing the enemy!

Another issue is the Mana constraints!

The skill is too high!

Mana is too low!

Unable to cast it!

Ill gradually upgrade the Fire-controlling Skill but first, I need to upgrade other skills!

To increase my chances of survival!

Xu Mu then set his sights on another skill!

The Light Body Skill!

The Light Body Skill is simple: it reduces body weight!

Which increases movement speed!

His Light Body Skill was now at the proficient level!

Once cast, it could reduce the body weight by thirty percent.

Its as if a person has suddenly shed thirty pounds of weight.

You can imagine how much this increases speed!

As cultivators improve, so does their physique.

However, the lift from the magic skill is on a whole different level.

The Light Body Skill makes a significant difference.

Unless one is a Body Cultivator!

With the Light Body Skill, he acquired an additional survival skill.

After all, he has a family and obligations! So, he must cherish his life!

System!

Increase!

[Light Body Skill +86]

[Light Body Skill Proficiency; 0/400]
