Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future Webnovel - Chapter 173
173 Achieving The First Stage Of The Heaven-burning Fingerstrike!
“The things that I currently possess are quite good. I wonder just how strong my attack will be after I practice the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike?”
At this thought, Shen Fei’s eyes flashed. His right arm shook, and a flame finger, burning with reddish fire, condensed in his hand. It shot forward with destructive power, and bombarded the walls of the room. The entire room trembled several times.
Rumble! A wall shattered and turned into a pile of dust.
“What a powerful force!” Shen Fei’s pupils shrank and a look of shock appeared on his face. Then, he took a deep breath and suppressed the boiling blood in his heart. He then picked up a jade tablet the system had provided, and read about the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike.
“Whoa…” After a moment, Shen Fei widened his eyes, and they were filled with excitement.
!!
The Heaven-burning Fingerstrike was an enigma-tier spirit skill, and it was incomplete. According to the introduction of this skill, one only needed to cultivate the Soul of Fire to be able to cultivate it. However, this Soul of Fire required the martial artist’s physical body to withstand extreme pain.
“Soul of Fire? Isn’t that the same as tempering the body?” Shen Fei muttered to himself. He thought of the novels he had read in his previous life.
It was said that when a cultivator’s soul was condensed into a Soul of Fire, they could use it to perform fire-attribute skills and even summon flames to take form. Of course, a soul of that level could not use just any martial skills or cultivation methods.
Shen Fei pondered for a moment. He felt that after cultivating this spirit technique, he should be able to use the Soul of Fire.
“Swish!” In the next moment, the Flame Owl suddenly swooped down from Shen Fei’s shoulder and drilled into the ground! A moment later, a rumbling tremor came from below.
Under Shen Fei’s dumbstruck gaze, an incomparably huge, dark-brown pillar shot straight upward from the hole, spitting fire everywhere.
“What the f*ck?! Flame Owl, what the hell are you doing?” Shen Fei was scared silly by the scene, and his face was filled with shock.
‘Is he f*cking spewing fire in there?!’
Below him, the Flame Owl opened its mouth and a huge pillar of fire spurted out, hitting the pavilion walls. In an instant, that section of the wall collapsed, gravel flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
“Holy sh*t!” Shen Fei was shocked by what he was seeing and almost bit his tongue.
The power was too great. If the pillar of fire had hit him, he would have died instantly.
“Shriek!” The Flame Owl let out an excited cry. It could feel the abundant energy in its body, which was what made it so excited.
Soon, the Flame Owl’s body expanded rapidly, until it finally became several times larger than before.
Rumble…
The Flame Owl flapped its wings, setting off a gust of wind. A burst of hot flames suddenly shot out from its wings, wreaking havoc to the surroundings.
‘Why is the Flame Owl disobeying me again?’ Shen Fei’s face was filled with furrowed lines. He quickly took a few steps back.
BOOM! The Flame Owl flapped its wings fiercely, and a gust of wind suddenly rose up. A barrage of extremely hot fireballs flew out and hit the other walls in the distance, exploding and causing smoke to rise.
“Shriek, shriek!”
The Flame Owl was extremely excited. Under Shen Fei’s gaze, it flapped its wings frantically. Not long after, it stopped flapping its wings and landed on the ground. The Flame Owl’s body was enshrouded in thick flames, and the hot flames circulated in the air, which could have given ordinary people heart palpitations.
“What a terrifying heat!” Shen Fei gulped.
“Shriek!” As if it felt Shen Fei’s surprise, the Flame Owl happily cried and jumped up onto his back, affectionately nuzzling his neck. Shen Fei reached up and patted its head, his face revealing a brilliant smile.
Although Shen Fei had yet to cultivate the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike, he could feel the boundless energy within the Flame Owl’s body. If it were to attack with its full strength, the terrifying power would be extraordinary.
Shen Fei then sat down cross-legged again, and began to read about the cultivation method of the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike.
There were nine levels to the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike, and each level increased its power by five-fold.
Fwoosh!
Waves of scorching fire elements gathered and entered Shen Fei’s body. As the fire elements continued to fuse with him, a fiery red light slowly appeared on Shen Fei’s forehead. Gradually, Shen Fei’s entire body became covered in fiery red markings, and a terrifying and mysterious aura was emitting from his body. At this moment, he seemed like a warrior who had been reborn from the flames, full of ferocity and killing intent.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. There was a dazzling fire in them, and a cluster of flames danced in his eyes.
Shen Fei grinned. “That wasn’t so difficult.”
Following the circulation of the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike, that mysterious and overbearing aura once again spread out, causing all the cells in Shen Fei’s body to become restless. It was as if there was a huge amount of energy that wanted to break out of his body.
“Condense!” Shen Fei shouted. Wisps of strange fire energy poured into his spiritual core. During this process, Shen Fei’s entire body felt warm and comfortable.
After about thirty minutes, the strange fire energy was completely condensed and formed into a drop of blood.
[The first stage of the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike has been successfully cultivated!]
Feeling the surging energy in his body, Shen Fei was extremely excited. “Haha!” Shen Fei roared up at the ceiling, and an incomparably powerful aura suddenly exploded from his body.
“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl behind Shen Fei cried out in excitement.
Shen Fei drew back his aura and looked back at his Flame Owl. At this time, the once red Flame Owl had turned golden, and its claws had become sharper than before, even as sharp as daggers.
“Huh? Your color has changed again.” Shen Fei was startled.
In his memory, the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike had seven color tiers: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. But at this moment, he found that the feathers of the Flame Owl were not red, but gold!
“Could it be that the Heaven-burning Fingerstrike’s level is higher than red and has actually reached violet-tier?” Shen Fei guessed.
“Shriek!” At this moment, the Flame Owl let out an excited roar again, then it ran to the side.
“Hmm?” Shen Fei looked over and saw two fist-sized beads floating in the spot where the Flame Owl was heading to. The two beads glowed with a faint fluorescent light, as if they were carved out of precious jade.
“What are these?” A frown tugged on Shen Fei’s lips slightly. These two beads gave off a simple and unadorned feeling.
Right at that moment, one of the beads suddenly shot out, aimed straight for Shen Fei’s chest!
Swish!
Shen Fei’s pupils contracted. He stomped his right foot on the ground and his body retreated, dodging the attack by a hair.
Bang!
The bead crashed into the wall of the room. In an instant, the room wall cracked, and pieces of gravel fell onto the floor.
“F*ck!” Shen Fei could not help but gulp. Fortunately, he had reacted in time, otherwise he would have been smashed half to death.
‘What the hell are these beads?!’
While Shen Fei was distracted by his own thoughts, the two beads flew at him again.
“Huff, huff…” As he dodged, he also raised his arms to block them.
