Chapter 21 - Fire Attribute Skill?

Lin Shiqing looked at her second brother, Lin Bei, who was deep in thought. She thought he was worried that her secret would be exposed and was thinking of a solution.

But Lin Bei didn't think in that direction at all. He was only thinking about the new fire attribute skill. After all, he still had to find a way to adapt to a new ability.

Lin Bei stopped and looked around. Then, he stood up and said to Lin Shiqing, "Third Sister, you stay at home and sleep well. I'm going out for a bit!" 

He did not care about Lin Shiqing's personal feelings and pushed her out.

Lin Shiqing's face was filled with confusion. 'What's wrong with him? Why did he push me out for no reason?'

"Second Brother! Second Brother! What are you doing?" Lin Shiqing struggled with all her might. She didn't want to be sent out, but Lin Bei was firm in his decision. She only heard…

Bang ~~~

The wooden door was closed. Looking at the tightly shut wooden door, Lin Shiqing clenched her right fist and knocked on it. 

"Open the door! Second Brother!" Lin Shiqing shouted with all her might as tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes.

Only a low whimpering sound was left, but the knocking sounds could be heard from time to time. It meant that she had not left yet.

She was worried that her second brother would do something stupid. He had to take on everything that happened in the kitchen alone.

However, she was feeling cold all over. She was afraid of the bounty, which she was sure would lead to something horrible. She didn't dare to look up at her surroundings, afraid that something unexpected might happen.

… 

Meanwhile, in the room, Lin Bei had changed into his outer disciple's uniform. He jumped up onto the roof beam, and the dust on it caught his nose.

"Cough, cough, cough ~~~"

Lin Bei waved away the dust in front of him, and he could finally see the situation outside. 

He didn't expect his own house to be so dirtier than the kitchen! It had been so many years, but it had never been cleaned up. Anyway, he had to find a place to test his newly obtained fire attribute.

He looked at the sky outside the window. Had it already reached this point? He had to hurry up!

In broad daylight, even a distance of a few hundred meters, or even a thousand meters, could be observed. At that time, there would be no way to explain clearly. It was different at this hour, as the sky was just beginning to light up. He could also take advantage of the sun just over the horizon to fish in troubled waters.

A fire attribute skill, as the name suggested, was to possess an extremely strong fire attribute ability.

This ability, whether it was the increase in the power of fire attribute skills or the cultivation speed of fire attribute cultivation techniques, would be twice as fast.

Generally, the ability to change one's attributes was only available at the Foundation Building Stage. It would only be touched on in the future. However, it didn't mean that Qi Refining Stage cultivators didn't have attribute abilities.

There were also some that were just the most basic. For example, the fireball spell of the fire attribute could summon a small fireball with a diameter of ten centimeters. 

Fire attribute skills were also divided into unranked, ordinary, yellow, black, earth, and heaven. It also had the same amount of consumption.

An unrated fire attribute could summon a fireball with a diameter of one meter. An ordinary fire attribute could summon a fireball with a diameter of ten meters. A yellow-grade fire attribute talent could summon a fireball with a diameter of a hundred meters. A black-grade fire attribute could summon a fireball with a diameter of a thousand meters. An earth-grade fire attribute could summon a fireball with a diameter of 10000 meters. Lastly, a heaven-grade fire attribute could summon a fireball with a diameter of a hundred thousand meters.

In theory, it was the same consumption, but the power difference between each fire attribute rank was ten times. Also, the recovery ability of the fire attribute was also ten times the difference.

In other words, a black-grade fire attribute can only release one elementary small fireball. It was able to produce an effect similar to that of an early Golden Core Stage skill.

This time, Lin Bei was going to test his fire attribute skill. They were, after all, unranked, ordinary, yellow, black, earth, and heaven. He wanted to have a better understanding of this.

Lin Bei kept moving through the woods. Eventually, he stood on a cliff with his hands behind his back.

He raised his head and puffed out his chest, looking straight ahead. He looked at the red sun that was about to jump out of the horizon, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit as he looked forward. 

Suddenly, a dazzling ray of sunlight broke through the shackles of the earth, and the originally dark world was completely illuminated.

 "Fireball!"

Lin Bei spat out a fist-sized fireball. It wobbled and floated toward the sky. In the process of flying, it constantly absorbed the spirit energy from the surrounding air.

The fireball grew from a small fireball to a large one at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding temperature kept rising, and Lin Bei actually felt a little hot.

"Isn't this power a little too strong?" Lin Bei's face changed slightly, and cold sweat dripped down his sideburns.

Drip, drip.

Drip, drip.

His sweat eventually fell onto the rocky ground. When they hit the ground, they were immediately vaporized by the high temperature. 

Even breathing felt hot. If he wasn't careful, he would burn his respiratory tract.

Lin Bei didn't have such a problem. However, he still chose to hold his breath. In his field of vision, the small fireball continued to grow in size.

One meter, ten meters, thirty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters, four hundred meters, seven hundred meters, one thousand meters...

In the end, a fireball that covered the sky appeared in his vision. The stability of the fireball seemed to have deteriorated, and it was as if it would explode at any moment.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Bei's expression changed. Even though they were dozens of meters apart, he still became anxious. He just wanted to test his skill, but did it turn out like this? 

Lin Bei quivered in fear. He immediately bent over and hid behind a huge rock.

"F*ck, how can my inferior fireball skill be so strong?" Lin Bei mumbled to himself as he hid behind the boulder.

Boom ~~~~

The huge fireball in the sky suddenly gave off a dazzling light. The sky that had just been illuminated by the sun was completely torn apart from the darkness. At the same time, the temperature in the surrounding air rose rapidly. It formed a fiery red horizon in the sky.

Boom ~~~~

The entire Immortal Peak trembled. It was as if the place had been bombarded by artillery.

All the flowers, grass, and trees were blown away by the strong hurricane of the explosion. There were also many houses and buildings that had been pulled up and collapsed. Piled up together, it was like a pile of war ruins.

Lin Bei, who was hiding behind the rock, reached out and touched the rock in front of him. Suddenly, he heard a cracking sound above him.
