As Wei continued his training, he experimented with the newfound powers bestowed upon him by the System. He practiced manipulating the elemental forces of the world, fashioning them into powerful spells and techniques.
One day, his best friend and fellow cultivator, Li, came to visit. They had shared dreams of becoming legendary warriors since childhood.
"Hey, Wei, I've heard rumors about a mysterious cultivator in the Red Lotus Mountains," Li said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "They say he can control fire like no one else. Do you think it's true?"
Wei smiled mysteriously. "Perhaps you're about to witness something extraordinary."
With a simple gesture, Wei summoned flames that danced around his fingertips, forming intricate patterns in the air. Li's jaw dropped in awe as he watched his friend wield the elements like a master.
"Unbelievable!" Li exclaimed. "You've kept this a secret all this time?"
Wei nodded. "There are secrets, my friend, that must remain hidden. The path I tread is different from the one we imagined."
