Chapter 469: Chapter 321: Mage Female Hero (4)
BANG!
Flames scattered. The pristine White Jade Armor on the left side of Tang Ruan’s abdomen was scorched black. The center, in particular, was still emitting black smoke. She patted her stomach, dispersing the smoke. With a gentle wipe, the soot vanished, revealing the flawless White Jade Armor beneath that had just finished its Recovery.
"Sister Zhuang, your aim was spot on this time. You’ve made obvious progress," Tang Ruan called out.
Zhuang Ya replied helplessly, "Just how strong is your Recovery Ability, Tang Ruan? I feel like hitting you with these Fireballs is no different from popping a balloon."
"It brought a heavy Consumption to my Durability!" Tang Ruan shouted back. "Keep going, you can fire continuously!"
Zhuang Ya nodded. "Alright, you move this time, and I’ll go again!"
Hearing this, Tang Ruan began to run around wildly. Zhuang Ya clenched her fists, then abruptly threw them open.
WHOOSH!
Two Fireballs materialized and shot forward at Flying Speed. The speed at which the Flames condensed had noticeably increased; it seemed she could control them to a certain extent.
WHOOSH!
Two more!
WHOOSH!
A total of six Fireballs flew out, whistling through the air as they smashed toward Tang Ruan.
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!
Three missed, blasting the soil apart to leave three small, smoldering craters in the ground.
BANG, BANG, BANG!
Three struck Tang Ruan with perfect Accuracy. The Fireballs exploded.
"Ouch, so hot! Hehe!" Tang Ruan quickly patted her Body, brushing off all traces of the Fireballs.
Zhuang Ya asked, a little worried, "How are you, Tang Ruan? Are you okay?"
"Don’t worry," Gu Qing reassured her. "At this Level of Attack, Tang Ruan will only feel happy."
"H-happy?" Zhuang Ya didn’t quite understand.
However, Tang Ruan really did seem to chuckle just now. After brushing the black soot off her body, Tang Ruan was indeed completely unharmed and without a single scratch.
Zhuang Ya marveled in surprise, "So this is what you meant earlier when you said Tang Ruan was incredibly brave..."
Tang Ruan ran over. "Sister Zhuang, those Fireballs of yours are formidable. Getting hit by them feels like being struck by a hammer, and they’re really hot, too!"
Tang Ruan was genuinely praising her, but Zhuang Ya’s confidence took a hit.
"Sigh... Even though I know your intentions are True, I still feel like you’re being sarcastic."
Gu Qing smiled. "Everyone gets stronger gradually. We were all very weak at the beginning, too, so don’t rush it. With the Lord here, your growth in Power is just around the corner."
Only then did Zhuang Ya notice Zhao Chi. "Greetings, Lord."
Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Why are you so downcast now? Show some confidence. Gu Qing is right; we all get stronger through slow accumulation. Besides, you can’t treat Tang Ruan as an Ordinary opponent. Under your previous Attack, an Ordinary enemy would have already been reduced to charred ash."
Gu Qing added, "Exactly. Furthermore, your Fireballs are ranged Attacks. You’ll be much better at dealing with ranged and Flying enemies than the rest of us."
Qi Yue chimed in, "That’s right, Sister Zhuang Ya! Don’t be anxious. I think the Lord likes you a lot, so he will definitely invest a lot of effort in you."
Zhuang Ya squeezed out a smile. "Thank you all for comforting me..."
As for the second half of Qi Yue’s sentence, she offered no response.
Zhao Chi pulled out the Fire Sea Skill Book. "I bought this for you. It’s a Middle Level Spiritual Technique. It should take your Damage to the next Level."
Zhuang Ya’s eyes widened. "Huh? For me?"
Zhao Chi grabbed Zhuang Ya’s hand and placed the book in it. "Say no more! Start Learning immediately! Then give it a try!"
Zhuang Ya looked at Zhao Chi in astonishment, wondering why his tone had suddenly become so forceful. However, she quickly realized that Zhao Chi was doing it on purpose so as not to waste Time arguing with her.
Zhuang Ya let out a soft huff of laughter. "Zhao Chi, what’s with the tough tone? Fine, I’ll learn it!"
A red light flashed.
The Fire Sea Skill Book flared with a blinding crimson glow, just like a real Flame. The light expanded into a massive ring, completely enveloping Zhuang Ya before plunging directly into her body.
"Hah... So this is a Middle Level Spiritual Technique." Zhuang Ya stared at her hands, feeling the Power of her new Spiritual Technique.
Zhao Chi pointed at the wooden man ahead. The wooden man was already covered in black scorch marks, with many spots burned to a crisp—clearly the result of Zhuang Ya’s Fireball Technique just now.
"Try using your new Spiritual Technique on that."
Zhuang Ya nodded and approached the wooden man. Gu Qing, Tang Ruan, and Qi Yue all watched her intently.
Stopping five meters in front of the wooden man, Zhuang Ya extended her right hand.
Suddenly, a tongue of fire as thick as a finger coiled around her forearm, casting an orange-yellow glow on her pale skin. Immediately after, the fiery serpent suddenly thickened, completely engulfing her forearm in flames.
"Be careful," Tang Ruan called out softly.
However, Zhuang Ya didn’t show the slightest hint of pain. Instead, she slightly raised her chin at Tang Ruan, gesturing that everything was fine. It seemed the flames wouldn’t cause her any Damage.
Half a second later, the flames shifted forward, compressing into her hand.
Suddenly, the fiery glow flared brilliantly. Like a high-pressure water gun blasting a jet of water, a massive torrent of flames violently burst from Zhuang Ya’s palm, gushing forward. The pupils of the women reflected the bright orange-yellow light.
Zhuang Ya’s hand had seemingly transformed into a flamethrower. A one-meter-thick pillar of fire completely engulfed the area five meters ahead. The wooden man CRACKLED AND POPPED within the inferno.
"Wow!" Qi Yue exclaimed in awe, feeling the rolling waves of heat.
Gu Qing narrowed her eyes to block the fiery wind. "That’s incredible!"
Zhuang Ya was stunned. Did she really unleash such raging flames?
The wooden man was completely ablaze, possessing a might on a completely different Level from the previous Fireballs. Zhuang Ya felt a surge of excitement in her Inner Heart. This kind of Power was simply too strong!
"Hah! Lord Zhao Chi, did you see that? Is this really my Spiritual Technique? Hah... HAHAHAHA!!"
Zhuang Ya’s manic laughter rang out. Amidst her laughter, her confidence slowly rebuilt itself, and she proudly puffed out her chest once more.
"Alright, Zhuang Ya, you can stop now," Zhao Chi quickly called out to halt her. Otherwise, she would keep going until all her Spiritual Power was completely drained.
The flames dwindled and rapidly vanished. Zhuang Ya’s palm was flushed entirely red.
