Chapter 19 - Three Moves

Lin Zhendong's imagination ran wild as he threw the black flames in all directions while carefully analyzing the power of the flames and the energy consumption in his body.

He was satisfied with the power and consumption but was not happy with the attack range. No matter what he did, the attack range of the flames was only about 10 meters at most.

It wasn't that he couldn't throw the flames further. He could even throw them 20 meters away.

However, Lin Zhendong could no longer control the flames once they passed the 10-meter limit.

The flames would be extinguished after 10 meters.

On the contrary, the flames within 10 meters would continue to burn, and they could even explode with a single thought.

Lin Zhendong knew that his current attack range was his limit after several attempts.

Perhaps he would have to eat treasures later on, or he would have to have a deeper grasp of [Wood Elemental Shadow] to increase his attack range.

Since the attack range could not be forced, then he turned to think about the attack method.

When Lin Zhendong did not have any skills, he searched for countless videos of skills on the internet.

After all, everyone liked to show off these days. Many people with skills uploaded videos to show off on the internet.

Among them, some were purely showing off. Some were doing research and explaining step by step.

After watching so many videos, Lin Zhendong thought that the way to use this skill was all about imagination.

As long as one could put the time to research it persistently, a new method would naturally appear.

Of course, this could not go against the attributes of the skill.

For example, if one used a fire-type skill as an ice-type skill, one would fail no matter how much one practiced.

On the other hand, he could give the Storm Fire a try.

Lin Zhendong naturally sat cross-legged and began to ponder while holding his chin.

His skill could be used as a fire-type skill.

However, if it were used as a fire skill, it would be like picking up a sesame seed and throwing away a watermelon.

It was because the skill name was [Wood Elemental Shadow].

The name of the skill crystal would never be wrong.

Therefore, he probably hadn't sorted out the details yet.

What did [wood element] represent?

Plants, growth, absorbed sunlight and water? Flammables? Firm? Firm? Absorbed nutrients from the soil?

It seemed that many abilities could be extended from the word [wood element].

What about the shadow?

Dark, formless, and could go anywhere? No weight? No need for air? Elegant? Hiding? Fast?

He thought so much that he was about to implode. He kept thinking of more ideas.

Lin Zhendong hurriedly patted his head. It was useless to overthink. After all, he couldn't try everything, let alone practice everything.

He could only choose a few general directions to practice.

How to choose? It was simple. Since it was called [Wood Elemental Shadow], he would only choose plants, vitality, and shadows. He would try these three functions and wait for the effects to be successful.

Lin Zhendong, who had just stood up and was about to start, was suddenly stunned. Didn't he only need to consider the variety of attack skills? Why did he worry about the variety of skill strategies?

Helplessly shaking his head, he opened his hand, and the black flames immediately wrapped around his palm.

Then, Lin Zhendong stared at his palm for a while. The raging flames that were crackling calmed down slowly.

Then, the flame began to converge, slowly forming a fist-sized ball.

He tossed the black ball around, and with a flick of his hand, it flew straight into the factory wall dozens of meters away like a baseball. Then, with a boom, a washbasin-sized hole was blasted into the thick wall.

Lin Zhendong's eyes immediately lit up. He ran over and looked at the hole. It was about five to six centimeters!

Looking at this thick reinforced concrete wall, the power of this black egg was definitely beyond imagination.

"Haha! As expected, I have to be imaginative! The attack range and power will increase after turning the flames into balls!" Lin Zhendong jumped up and down excitedly and immediately started to condense a new black egg.

The walls of the factory were riddled with holes. Lin Zhendong finally stopped and took a breath.

"The speed of forming an egg is too slow. It takes at least five seconds. I still have to practice hard. However, with the recovery of the energy in my body, I can continue to bombard without any problems. I now have a relatively powerful continuous attack method."

"It's just that I can't increase its power no matter what. Perhaps it has something to do with my aptitude. However, the black egg's power is almost the same as a grenade. It's a pretty good move."

At this point, Lin Zhendong's eyes suddenly lit up. Black flames appeared on his palm again. Then, the flames were evenly distributed among his five fingers and slowly condensed into black eggs the size of glass beads.

With a swing, five soft popping sounds sounded, and five holes appeared on the ground. Lin Zhendong reached his finger into the hole, but he couldn't touch the bottom.

Lin Zhendong was excited this time. He condensed another black egg and threw it at the wall in the distance.

After the popping sound, he immediately rushed over to check.

However, he was greatly disappointed because it was only a one-centimeter deep tiny hole.

After a few tests, the most powerful one could penetrate a thick wall by about 30 centimeters within a distance of 10 meters.

Lin Zhendong was not disappointed by this result. Instead, he grinned and said, "Haha, this move of mine is countless times more powerful than a pistol! No wonder Li Zhi said those light weapons are just toys when you're strong enough!"

The sky was already dark. It was so dark in this factory that one could not see their fingers.

However, Lin Zhendong didn't care. He was practicing his proficiency anyway. It didn't matter whether he could see it or not.

Therefore, he forgot about time and continued to cultivate here.

He didn't know if the chip in his brain was playing tricks on him or if Lin Zhendong himself was superhuman. He was given random practice and trained to the point where he was just like a model.

He had set three offensive moves, one of which was the flame attachment.

He had already practiced to the point where he could release ten flames in all directions at the same time, and he could also control when the ten flames would burn at will.

Moreover, there was a unique skill in it. It could split ten flames into 100 small flames. The effect was similar to a flame explosion.

Unfortunately, this attack didn't have a long-range, only about 10 meters.

Moreover, the ultimate skill consumed a lot of mental energy. After all, controlling ten flames increased by ten times.

Therefore, this could only be considered an ultimate move. It could not be used often. After using it, Lin Zhendong had to rest for a while.

Lin Zhendong named this move [Flame Explosion]. His ultimate move was called [Incinerating Inferno].

The second attack was the black egg, which was like the explosive hand grenade.

Lin Zhendong could now condense a black egg in 4 seconds. Because of the low consumption and fast recovery, as long as he had enough energy, he could keep releasing black eggs.

The attack range of this move was very far. It could be thrown as far as it could. It would explode on contact, just like a touch grenade.

Therefore, this move was named [Throwing Grenades] to mislead people.

Then, it was the last attack and might also be the most commonly used attack in the future. It was to condense the black flame into the size of a glass bead and shoot it out from Lin Zendong's finger.

The attack range was about 10 meters, and the power could penetrate 30 centimeters of reinforced concrete walls. Other than the distance, its power should be comparable to a sniper rifle.

Lin Zhendong could shoot out any of his ten fingers, but he was used to using his index fingers.

The speed of his condensation was reduced to 2 seconds. Due to his fast recovery, he could shoot non-stop.

Unfortunately, the condensation speed was too slow and impractical.

But to compress the time to the point where it was like pulling the trigger of a pistol, would be amazing.

Therefore, Lin Zhendong could not be bothered to name this skill before it reached this level.

This move also had an ultimate move, which was to shoot all ten fingers at the same time. It was limited by the speed of condensation, so it was not powerful.

However, it was still like a ten-barrel machine gun in terms of firepower.

Therefore, he didn't give it a name. He wanted to keep this skill secretive to trick people.

After confirming that he had mastered these three moves, the only problem in the future was to increase his proficiency and reduce the time needed to condense them.

Lin Zhendong nodded his head in satisfaction and prepared to go home.
