Chapter 308: Absorbing Flames
Almost the moment that Dan Bao cast Full Firepower, Qin Lang sensed a change in the horrific high temperature rushing from all directions within the Refining Fire Altar.
This dreadful high temperature merged into the flames spewed by Dan Bao, boosting Full Firepower to an unprecedented level of power, while also significantly reducing the pressure on the Star Spirit Protection.
The high temperature within the Refining Fire Altar seemed to bear a special spirit. Once it detected a fire-type nature-based combat skill, it would naturally diffuse through it.
As if a pressure release valve was installed on the lid of a pressure cooker.
This discovery brought a surge of joy to Qin Lang, who previously had no idea how to face this test.
However, his elation was quickly replaced by solemnity.
Because after Dan Bao completed Full Firepower, within just a few breaths, the dreadful high temperature covered him once again.
Temporary relief didn’t solve the fundamental issue for the Refining Fire Altar, which was continuously absorbing the heat of the underlying magma.
Luckily, Qin Lang now knew how to handle this.
“Dan Bao, continue!”
“Gullu!”
Dan Bao, who was connected with Qin Lang’s heart, responded, and then drew in a breath and exhaled with all his might.
A large swath of golden-red flames enveloped the heat within the Refining Fire Altar, temporarily relieving the pressure on the Star Spirit Protection.
Faced with the imminent high temperature and realizing he had to endure for over ten minutes within the Refining Fire Altar, Qin Lang took a deep breath, his expression growing serious.
This test was indeed no easy feat.
One minute…
Two minutes…
Three minutes…
Time ticked away.
Lu Dong stood beside the Refining Fire Altar, arms folded across his chest, watching Qin Lang and Dan Bao use Full Firepower time and time again to ease their pressure, persevering through the dreadful heat.
By his side, a Four-star Food Spirit materialized, poised to rescue Qin Lang in case of danger.
Three minutes, huh…
A strange light flickered in Lu Dong’s eyes.
They have probably reached their limit.
He had an accurate grasp on Qin Lang’s Food Spirit situation.
With the strength of a two-star Food Spirit, by casting a flame-type nature-based combat skill, they could only endure for three minutes.
If Qin Lang had two Food Spirits possessing flame-type nature-based combat skills, things could be easier. By alternating between the two Spirits, they could withstand for six minutes.
But the test required ten minutes.
“If you’re just blindly resisting without realizing something…” Lu Dong muttered in a voice only he and the Food Spirit beside him could hear, “this test should be over.”
Within the Refining Fire Altar, Qin Lang had a clearer sense of his situation.
After such a long period of hard resistance, the spiritual power within the Tian Shu Star Vein was almost exhausted.
Different Star Veins couldn’t communicate with each other. The spiritual power of the Tianxuan Star Vein of Spicy couldn’t be activated through Dan Bao’s Tian Shu Star Vein.
As Spicy didn’t possess any fire-type nature-based combat skills, its power couldn’t resist the high temperature here. If it showed itself, it would need Qin Lang to spare more power to protect it. Thus, it could only stay within the Star Vein, cheering for him and Dan Bao.
It seemed that they had almost reached their limit.
Even if they exerted all their strength, they were still far from reaching the ten- minute mark.
At this point, Qin Lang actually calmed down.
His thoughts began to wander, starting to consider aspects beyond himself.
How did other Spirit Chefs manage to pass the test?
Even after lowering the difficulty, the Spirit Executor Exam should still be manageable for a Spirit Chef with two two-star Food Spirits.
Even if a tester with two Food Spirits has fire-based combat skills, they still would be unable to endure for ten minutes, right?
Perhaps there were things he had not noticed yet.
Such as…
Like a stroke of lightning, Qin Lang suddenly recalled what he had seen at the Yan Mountain Training Ground.
In the Yan Mountain Training Ground, many Spirit Chefs were conducting special flame training with their Food Spirits. These Spirit Chefs consisted of outsiders who came for the reputation, and trainees wearing the training ground’s exclusive practicing clothes.
Details he hadn’t paid attention to before now gradually became clear in his mind.
There was a distinct difference between the foreign Spirit Chefs and the trainees within the training ground!
When the latter trained with special equipment and the flames emitted in the training ground, their Food Spirits seemed to have a certain resistance to the flames and their strength seemed to be unceasing, allowing a more sustained fight.
An endless stream of strength…
The pupils of the engrossed Qin Lang gradually focused, the scenes he had previously seen in his mind began to blur, replaced by the red gleaming Yan Yao Stone.
Wait, the Yan Yao Stone?!
Qin Lang’s pupils shrank abruptly, as if thunder was rumbling through his mind.
He recalled the function of the Yan Yao Stone.
Absorbing heat, storing it, and converting it into other forms of energy.
The power displayed by the Food Spirits of the trainees in the training ground, wasn’t it strikingly similar to the Yan Yao Stone?
And that power didn’t seem like a special Combat Skill, it was more like a special trick that could be grasped on a large scale.
If he could learn such a technique in the Refining Fire Altar, enduring ten minutes would no longer be difficult!
Then the question arises.
Qin Lang’s brow furrowed slightly.
How to get Dan Bao to understand such a trick in a short time?
“Huff!”
Feeling the rapidly rising temperature all around, Dan Bao exhausted all his strength to spew out another flame towards the outside of the Refining Fire Altar.
Its face was filled with weariness at this moment, its spirit noticeably withered, even the flame spewed out didn’t carry the initial unstoppable momentum.
“Gurgle…”
I’ve done my best…
Dan Bao opened his mouth somewhat dejectedly, unable to pass Mr. Lu Dong’s test with Qin Lang, making it very upset.
“We still have a chance!”
Noticing Dan Bao’s dejection, Qin Lang spoke in a deep voice.
His calm voice imbued Dan Bao with strength, Dan Bao’s spirit dramatically picked up a bit, making eye contact with Qin Lang amidst the increasing heat.
“Imagine, you are a Yan Yao Stone!” Qin Lang quickly spoke, “Try to absorb the surrounding heat and recover the consumed Spiritual Power!”
Can it be done that way?
Dan Bao’s eyes widened slightly.
It had never thought it could accomplish this, but the words of the Spirit Chef were so certain at this moment.
Feeling the increasingly terrifying heat, Dan Bao knew there was no time for hesitation now.
Think of myself as a Yan Yao Stone, absorb the surrounding heat…
Dan Bao fixedly looked at the red crystal stones filling the space, lost in thought.
Lu Dong shook his head slightly, a strange look appeared on his face.
The right path had been found, but it was too late for the youngster in front of him to react.
Regarding imaging oneself as a Yan Yao Stone…
If the secret technique of Yan Mountain Training Ground could be comprehended so easily, what would it be called…
Lu Dong’s thoughts came to an abrupt halt, his eyes slowly widening.
He stared at the inside of the Refining Fire Altar as if he had seen a ghost.
“How could this be?!”
