"The first step you need to take is to develop the Brilliant Sun" Huo Tianyang explained.
The Brilliant Sun is the most essential, providing a continuous source of energy for the entire Fiery Heavenly Sun.
"The direction of development is to condense by absorbing external heaven and earth energy."
No longer relying on one's own Soul Power to condense the Brilliant Sun, but instead using external heaven and earth energy as the power source.
"However, by doing so, the Brilliant Sun loses its locking ability and becomes more difficult to control."
But none of this is a problem.
After all, within the Fiery Heavenly Sun, the Brilliant Sun is no longer used as an attack method but merely as an energy conversion device.
"For Spirit Saints who have already mastered heaven and earth energy to some extent, they can directly develop it in this way. Some powerful Spirit Masters can also attempt it, as they can easily manipulate heaven and earth energy through Spiritual Power," Huo Tianyang explained the direction and method of developing the Brilliant Sun.
"If neither of these conditions is met, you can also use Flame Master, a control-type Spirit Skill, to assist in development."
"Of course, even if the first two conditions are met, I still recommend using Flame Master as an auxiliary."
At this point, Huo Tianyang began to formally teach Su Wen the techniques involved in the development process.
"."
First, Su Wen spent a day successfully condensing the Brilliant Sun with heaven and earth energy. Then came the conversion and output of energy.
The conversion involved transforming the fire attribute energy condensed from heaven and earth energy into a form that Su Wen could easily absorb.
Su Wen found this conversion step very easy to perform.
It wasn't even considered a conversion into Source Soul Power; this level of conversion was child's play for Su Wen.
Huo Tianyang had thought that this most abstract step might take Su Wen a lot of time, or even completely halt his development progress, but to his surprise, Su Wen completed it in just a few hours.
"The final output is not yet developed. Now it's time to develop the main part of the Fiery Heavenly Sun."
Raging Inferno!
Flame Master!
With these two major Spirit Skills combined, the surrounding area was transformed into a zone of flames.
Su Wen proceeded step by step, guided by Huo Tianyang, mastering each technique.
It must be said that although Huo Tianyang's personality is fiery and direct, he still possesses a certain subtlety. He is quite adept at teaching skills, summarizing the details of refining the techniques of his developed Fiery Heavenly Sun in a very reasonable manner.
Or perhaps it could be said that the ability to develop this formidable skill was itself a result of successfully following this logical planning sequence.
"."
Watching Su Wen quickly master various techniques and make rapid progress, Huo Tianyang's feelings were complex.
There was surprise mingled with a hint of self-doubt.
How could it be happening so quickly?
With the environmental transformation completed, the focus now shifted to utilizing the energy converted by Brilliant Sun as the power source for Raging Inferno.
Meanwhile, utilizing the ability of Flame Master to firmly fix the entire structure.
Finally, it's the fusion of one's own Fire Demon Overlord Body with Raging Inferno, with the energy of Raging Inferno constantly providing support for oneself.
Seven days passed.
Huo Tianyang looked dazed, staring at the area covered by raging flames within a ten-meter radius.
Above was a dazzling white fireball, absorbing and transforming the surrounding heaven and earth energy into rich fire attribute energy. The flames within the entire fiery domain burned incessantly, even showing signs of intensifying.
Su Wen was enveloped by flames, resonating with the surrounding inferno, emitting an extremely fierce aura.
"Is it trained now?" Huo Tianyang looked at Su Wen's performance, still unstable, with energy conversion intermittent. He felt incredulous.
How could this be?
There must be something wrong somewhere.
Huo Tianyang felt that perhaps his teaching ability was too strong.
"Well, after sending Xiaowen away and when Wushuang and Wu'er are in Fire Valley for training, I'll let them try it out," Huo Tianyang thought to himself.
"Uncle Yang, does this count as a success?"
"Yes, indeed, it's a start. Now, you need to practice diligently. First, stabilize and maintain Raging Inferno, then gradually increase both its range and intensity," Huo Tianyang said as calmly as possible.
"Oh, by the way, since you've grasped the basics of Raging Inferno, let me tell you about its advanced forms,"
Tianyang activated his spiritual power.
"The fifth Spirit Skill I integrate into Raging Inferno is Fire Meteor, and the sixth one is Fire Dragon's Fury."
"Fire Meteor adds a sustained area of effect attack to the existing Raging Inferno."
"Fire Dragon's Fury," according to Huo Tianyang's explanation, "further enhances control over the entire Raging Inferno, allowing for complete manipulation of the fiery energy within the covered area, integrating it into oneself."
"This Spirit Skill was also specifically sought after initially. Of course, that was my original idea. However, as Fire Dragon's Fury integrates into Raging Inferno, the imposing aura embedded within my eighth Spirit Skill also merges into Raging Inferno, granting it the ability to both empower oneself and suppress enemies simultaneously. This is how my Raging Inferno came to be considered akin to a domain-type self-created Spirit Skill."
"In fact, with the basic version of Raging Inferno established, it's not necessary to follow my path completely for further development. Once the foundation is laid, it's possible to integrate other fire attribute attack Spirit Skills instead of Fire Meteor."
However, as Huo Tianyang continued speaking, he fell silent. He pondered Su Wen's abilities, sensing a potential to create a pressure field similar to the effects of Dragon's Might. It seemed to offer an alternative to the effect of Dragon's Might.
After the silence, he shared some techniques he discovered while integrating the eighth Spirit Skill that might be useful for Su Wen.
After another three hours of theoretical explanations, Su Wen completed this practice session.
"Thank you, Teacher Huo!" Su Wen bowed to Huo Tianyang.
Huo Tianyang didn't evade the gesture; instead, he accepted it as a matter of course.
"These are some of my research findings." Su Wen thought for a moment and then handed Huo Tianyang a page containing the Internal Strength version he had engraved when he first arrived in Heaven Dou City.
Huo Tianyang looked at the page, which depicted a complex Soul Power Circulation Route, unaware of its value.
"You've put in effort." Huo Tianyang thought for a moment, then took out a crystal ball emanating a fiery aura, mixed with a hint of dragon's might, and handed it to Su Wen.
"You'll be going to Godwind Academy next. When you arrive, deliver this to the Dean of Godwind Academy."
Su Wen joyfully accepted the crystal ball and stored it in his storage spirit tool.
"Come back to Blazing City when you have the time!"
"Sure will," Su Wen waved, bidding farewell. "Goodbye, teacher Huo."
Underneath his feet, an air current rose, swiftly propelling him into the air and towards the distance.
Halfway there, Su Wen suddenly realized he had forgotten something.
Feeling his Soul Power depleting rapidly, Su Wen widened his eyes.
"It seems like I not only failed to solve the burden of Replication Spirit Skill, but I also unintentionally replicated an extra Fiery Heavenly Sun?"
