With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 32 Evolution

The breath of flame released an intense flame that seemed like it could burn anything in its path.

One would expect that with this kind of intense heat, it would have been easy for the breath of flames to melt the wall of ice, but that didn't happen.

As the flames hit the wall of ice, the wall of ice didn't start melting as expected. Instead, the wall of ice just started to glow more intensely as it started absorbing the flames.

Soon all the flames disappeared from the surface of the wall of ice and there was a strange glow that was coming from the center of the wall of ice. This glow pulsated a few times before it suddenly released flames back out at the Flame Salamander.

However, these flames were different from the red flames that the Flame Salamander had shot out of its mouth, these flames were completely blue. Not to mention that they didn't release any heat at all.

Instead, the opposite happened where the blue flames seemed to pull the heat out of the air, turning the air around it into mist.

The Flame Salamander clearly never expected this, but it didn't panic as it released another flame breath at these blue flames.

When the two colours of flames hit each other, there was a moment where they were balanced before the red flames started being extinguished by the blue flames.

When the Flame Salamander saw this, it immediately started releasing more and more flames out of its mouth. Eventually, the larger quantity of red flames were able to burn out all of the blue flames.

However, just burning away these blue flames had taken quite a bit of energy from the Flame Salamander.

Right now it was in a hard spot because it had spent a lot of energy destroying those blue flames and on its first attack on the wall of ice. The best thing for it was to head back into the magma lake and draw on the natural flame energy inside of the magma to recover its spiritual energy.

But the problem was that there was still a wall of ice in its way.

If there was something hiding behind this wall of ice, with how little energy it had now, the Flame Salamander would certainly be in danger.

But after thinking it through, the Flame Salamander came to the conclusion that staying here would actually be more dangerous than if it made a break for the magma lake. So the Flame Salamander hesitated for a few seconds before running towards the wall of ice.

Those few seconds of hesitation were all that Lin Fan needed to get into position.

Because of the blue flames, the surrounding area had been covered in mist which obscured the vision of the Flame Salamander.

With the mist covering his actions, Lin Fan was able to take a closer position to the Flame Salamander.

When the Flame Salamander started charging towards the wall of ice, Lin Fan was able to make use of his position to jump out and ambush the Flame Salamander.

Of course, the Flame Salamander noticed Lin Fan, but it noticed Lin Fan too late.

By the time that the Flame Salamander saw Lin Fan jumping out at it, his sword was already slashing down at the Flame Salamander's neck. With how the Flame Salamander was charging forward, it wasn't able to raise any of its limbs to block the sword with.

However, that didn't mean that the Flame Salamander didn't have a way to defend at all.

The Flame Salamander immediately released the rest of its spiritual energy as flames that wrapped around its scales.

However, those flames couldn't do a single thing to Lin Fan as a blue glow surrounded him and his blade as he slashed down, negating those flames.

Lin Fan's sword slashed right through the scales of the Flame Salamander and without any hesitation, the sword cut right through the rest of the Flame Salamander's neck, coming out the other side with a spray of blood.

The Flame Salamander was still able to look at Lin Fan for one last time before its field of view started to drop. It continued to drop until it was only looking at Lin Fan's feet standing on the ground as its head fell to the floor.

Lin Fan looked down at his sword with a surprised look since he never expected himself to be able to cut off the Flame Salamander's head that easily.

He knew that he was at a higher level of cultivation than the Flame Salamander, but wasn't this a bit too easy?

He hadn't felt any resistance at all when he cut right through the neck of the Flame Salamander.

But he didn't dwell on it for too long since this wasn't the place for that.

So he just put the Flame Salamander corpse in his pet storage space before leaving this area.

What he didn't know was that it was indeed too easy.

Even if he was a Third Qi Gathering Level cultivator, that didn't mean that it would be that easy for him. After all, the scales of the Flame Salamander were thick enough that normal Third Qi Gathering Level cultivators wouldn't be able to cut through them.

There were two reasons why it had been easy for him.

The first was his depleting of the Flame Salamander's spiritual energy with the Ice Mirror, which was the wall of ice that he had released and one of the skills he had borrowed from the Snow Rabbit.

As it had demonstrated, this was a skill that allowed Lin Fan to reflect attacks that had less energy than was imbued into the Ice Mirror. If the energy in the attack exceeded the energy in the Ice Mirror, naturally the Ice Mirror would shatter.

The second was that he had used the Frost Aura which was the blue glow that had been around Lin Fan's sword.

Once again, this was another skill that he had borrowed from the Snow Rabbit and it was another powerful one.

This Frost Aura imbued his attacks with a natural ice energy that would deal frost damage with his attacks. But not only that, it would also invade his target's body and would apply a slowing effect on them.

Both of these factors had contributed to Lin Fan being able to defeat the Flame Salamander so easily.

But in short, it just meant that he was quite strong since he was able to use the skills of his pets which was equal to mastering many different techniques without having to master them.

The only thing that he was lacking was more pets to borrow skills from.

While he had been sneaking up on the Flame Salamander, Lin Fan had also sent the Gale Sparrow out to look for Xiao Yue and the male White Wolf.

First it was so they could meet up as soon as he took care of the Flame Salamander and work on the second task. Secondly, it was also just in case he died that he wanted them to be able to find his body and take his stuff with them.

But since he wasn't dead, he just waited for the Gale Sparrow's return after leaving the magma lake.

As soon as he settled down away from the magma lake, the Gale Sparrow returned immediately and started leading him.

It took him no more than ten minutes to reach Xiao Yue and the male White Wolf.

Both of them were in quite sorry conditions, but Xiao Yue still had the herb that they were looking for in her hand. However, that was just on the surface, neither of them suffered from any serious injuries.

In fact, the male White Wolf's aura seemed even stronger as if it had broken through.

Lin Fan looked at the little bird on the White Wolf's back and it wasn't hard to guess what had happened.

After Lin Fan had the Gale Sparrow scout out the surrounding area, he opened the portal to the Pet Storage Space to let them and himself in.

The Pet Storage Space did have the ability to heal them and now that he had some time, he should take care of the Inferno Swan corpses.

But as soon as they entered the Pet Storage Space, there was a scene that surprised all of them.

The Pet Storage Space itself was the same as always, but there was something different inside of it.

There were still the same Snow Rabbit and the horse, but the horse had completely changed appearances.

Instead of its normal appearance, this horse now had a mane that was completely made of flames along with four hooves that were covered in flames.

With the way it looked, it had quite the terrifying appearance, but it still acted the same way as before as it came over with the Snow Rabbit to greet Lin Fan.

When it licked Lin Fan's face, he could feel the heat that was coming from its tongue. If it wasn't for his spiritual energy protecting him, it was very likely that he would have been burned by it.

Lin Fan focused his eyes and looked at the system to find that there was a notification from the system about this.

Apparently, while he had been fighting the Flame Salamander, the horse had suddenly evolved into a Gehenna Horse.

But why did it suddenly choose to evolve at this time?

Was it because it had been absorbing the natural spirit energy that filled the Pet Storage Space?

Or was there another reason?

While Lin Fan was pondering this, something suddenly caught his eyes that explained everything.
