Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Fire Nature

Xiao Zhan would have done this without Huo Lingjun’s instruction.

Having practiced for only two days, Xiao Zhan had already grasped the uniqueness of the Fire Attribute Energy here.

There was no way he would miss such a great opportunity to cultivate.

"Thank you, Clan Leader."

Of course, pleasantries must still be exchanged.

Huo Lingjun nodded, then added, "The Seven-colored Soft Armor you’re wearing is well-crafted. I tried to repair it a bit, but my energy is contrary to the armor’s attribute, so I couldn’t be of much help."

"Besides, I don’t really have any materials here, but..."

At this point, Huo Lingjun paused.

"It is alright for the Clan Leader to speak freely."

Xiao Zhan thought that Huo Lingjun might have some unspeakable difficulties.

Huo Lingjun opened her mouth to speak, but after a second thought, she shook her head and said, "Never mind, it’s nothing."

Seeing her reluctance to speak, Xiao Zhan thought it inappropriate to pry further.

"Is there anything else you need, Clan Leader? If not, I will head back now."

Xiao Zhan was ready to leave; he hardly could bear the high temperature here. Sweat evaporated as soon as it emerged; not even enough to warrant the idiom ’sweating like rain.’

Huo Lingjun noticed his discomfort, waved her hand to indicate that he could leave, and said, "After you go back, work hard and absorb more Fire Attribute Energy. You’ll gradually get used to the temperature here."

"Yes, I understand."

This was something Xiao Zhan would have done without her telling him.

The Fire Attribute Energy not only enhanced his own attributes but also accelerated the development of his Spirit Manipulation Technique.

Xiao Zhan wouldn’t miss out on such a good opportunity.

After thanking her again, Xiao Zhan left the stone hut and quickly returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the room, he felt instantly relaxed, drank a whole pot of water, and immediately felt much better.

The high temperature in the room, which had made him slightly uncomfortable at first, had become negligible after his visit to the stone hut.

Indeed, to quell fire, one could use not only ice but also more fire.

On the other side.

Not long after he left, Huo Liuli walked into the stone hut.

"Clan Leader."

Huo Lingjun did not respond but looked up at the great hall above where a cluster of fire lamps was burning.

Oddly enough, these fire lamps had neither wicks nor fuel. They had nothing to sustain them, yet they kept burning steadily.

But what was more puzzling was that this tiny, faint fire lamp sat atop a large fire bowl, making it seem particularly conspicuous.

After a while, perhaps tired of looking,

Huo Lingjun turned around, her expression was calm but with a trace of worry, "This youngster has a good flame nature, much stronger than the younger generation in our tribe, and even without the baptism of the sacred fire, he managed to stay here a full three minutes, which is truly rare."

"Only a pity..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Huo Liuli, "Only a pity, he has signed a Life and Death Contract, otherwise..."

"Clan Leader, will that day really come?" Huo Liuli interrupted her, full of worry.

"It will, and it will come sooner rather than later."

Huo Lingjun’s tone was certain.

After saying this, Huo Liuli looked even more somber.

Seeing this, Huo Lingjun could only sigh, pat her shoulder, and say, "Prepare well, whether for the tribe or not, you will have to partake in the Contract."

With these words, Huo Liuli’s body jolted, her eyes filled with even deeper sorrow.

But not long after, her eyes swept away the sorrow, igniting a firm flame.

...

Over the next few days, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong rested and recovered in their rooms.

In two days, Xiao Zhan’s injuries had completely healed, while Ye Youlong, who was more severely injured, needed two more days.

After practicing in his room for several days, Xiao Zhan realized that the temperature had dropped, initially feeling a bit scorching, but now, he felt nothing at all.

However, Xiao Zhan knew that it was not the temperature that had gone down but that he had absorbed so much Fire Attribute Energy that he had become perfectly adapted to the temperature here.

This was a good thing.

But at the same time, he also discovered that the Fire Attribute Energy here could not provide effective cultivation for him anymore.

Therefore, he needed a purer and stronger Fire Attribute Energy.

To obtain a purer and stronger Fire Attribute Energy, one had to go to the core area of the tribe, which is the altar that Xiao Zhan had seen last time. The closer to the altar, the higher the temperature, the stronger the Fire Attribute Energy.

Hence, Xiao Zhan sought out Huo Liuli and proposed the idea of exchanging rooms.

Huo Liuli was greatly surprised by this request.

"You want to change rooms? To move further inside?"

"Yeah, is there anything wrong with that?"

Xiao Zhan saw her expression and thought there might be some inconvenience.

Huo Liuli shook her head, "Nothing’s wrong, but the deeper you go, the higher the temperature. If your body can’t adapt, it won’t benefit your cultivation and might even damage your foundation."

"I know, I’ve felt it."

"Yet you still want to go?"

"Well, staying in this room no longer has much effect on my cultivation," Xiao Zhan said helplessly.

If it wasn’t for the high-intensity fire energy inside, he wouldn’t want to go in there. After living here for a few days, he had grown attached to it.

Living here was too comfortable, like basking in the warmth day after day.

But Huo Liuli was shocked to hear this, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, "Little effect? Do you mean the Fire Energy here doesn’t affect you anymore?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhan nodded, "Otherwise, why would I ask to go inside?"

Hearing this, Huo Liuli was again taken aback. She had thought Xiao Zhan was overreaching, trying to bite off more than he could chew.

But she had not expected him to have already become immune to the temperature here!

How many days had it been?

They had helped outsiders before, but those people could barely endure staying here, let alone going deeper. They looked like it was killing them.

But Xiao Zhan? Not only was he not retreating but advancing?

Well, there were those who did not retreat but advanced, but Xiao Zhan had only been here for four days at most.

For others, it started at a minimum of one month.

Thinking about this, Huo Liuli couldn’t help but recall the Clan Leader’s assessment of Xiao Zhan, ’His fire nature is good, stronger than the younger generation of the tribe.’

That statement, Huo Liuli felt, was only half right – the fire nature was not just ’good,’ it was exceptional!

"Does she want to follow along?"

Huo Liuli composed her surprised emotions, then glanced at Ye Youlong, who was still recuperating.

Without a doubt, Xiao Zhan nodded. His spouse had to accompany him – how could he leave her alone to guard their chamber?
