Flame Burst Fireball!
Qi Ping stood before a massive boulder, controlling all the fire-attributed power in his body, condensing a Flame Burst Fireball containing terrifying pressure in his palm.
Immediately after, under Qi Ping's control, this fireball shot towards the giant boulder at an extremely fast speed.
With a earth-shattering roar, the giant boulder was instantly blasted into countless Fragments and dust, almost as fragile as tofu under the impact and explosion of the Flame Burst Fireball.
Qi Ping's figure did not stop after unleashing the Flame Burst Fireball; instead, he moved forward at high speed.
In this process, Qi Ping controlled his spiritual power with his palm, instantly condensing a huge and incredibly flexible Flame Burst Net in front of him, blocking his path.
Under Qi Ping's control, the Flame Burst Net instantly enveloped the impact and gravel that erupted towards him, and amidst the earth-shattering roars, all the impact and gravel were intercepted in front of Qi Ping.
"Not bad, not bad!"
After experiencing the power of the Flame Burst Fireball and Flame Burst Net, Qi Ping's face showed a satisfied smile.
Extreme attack, using offense as defense, the Perfection of the Flame Burst Spell fully displayed the impact, explosion, and scorching splendor of the fire attribute.
"Although the principle of this Spell is simple, given my Talent, it is the one that can unleash my power most thoroughly."
"Even Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage can display powerful strength with this Spell. In the future, as my knowledge of Spells increases and my understanding of fire-attributed power deepens, I might be able to perfect this Spell further."
Qi Ping knew that as a Loose Cultivator, his access to Spells was limited, and obtaining those treasured Spells was too difficult.
A simple yet powerful Spell like Flame Burst Spell was actually the most suitable for him.
Qi Ping's true advantage lay in his ability to stack various passive abilities using his Druid profession and Animal Companions, elevating his attributes to a level far beyond that of his peers.
Therefore, a Spell that could fully unleash his inherent power and attributes was very important.
It didn't need to be overly intricate; as long as it perfectly unleashed all of Qi Ping's attributes, it would be enough to break all Spells with sheer force!
Even if there were some shortcomings, they could be compensated for by Animal Companions.
This was the most suitable combat style for Qi Ping: extreme strength, speed, and defense were enough. These were the essentials; there was no need for so much flashiness.
Just like there are many intricate Body Techniques in the Qi Refinement Stage, but how many Qi Cultivators of the same level can withstand Qi Ping's terrifying Body Technique speed, which is enough to shatter the earth?
"For now, I'll stick to this path for Spells. Obtaining the most intricate Spells from Sects is very difficult. With that much effort and Spirit Stones, I might as well try to get good Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Beasts."
Given limited resources, Cultivation Techniques that relate to the Foundation of cultivation and Spirit Beasts that relate to shared Talent are far more important than Spells.
Moreover, even with more intricate Spells, they might not be able to unleash Qi Ping's attribute power as perfectly as the Flame Burst Spell.
"I should be considered to have just started my cultivation in Spells now. Although my methods are singular, at least I am no longer that half-baked Cultivator who couldn't even cast a Fireball Spell."
With this Flame Burst in hand, who would dare to say he was a Cultivator who couldn't cast any Spells?
After testing the Flame Burst Spell, Qi Ping was in a great mood.
With his current combat power, even without his Animal Companions, he could be considered a strong Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Stage.
Of course, what made Qi Ping happiest was the escape ability brought by the Flame Burst Body Technique, as well as the life-saving ability provided by the stacked Flame Burst Net and Tree Skin Art.
No matter when, what Qi Ping valued most was life-saving ability, because survival was the prerequisite for everything...
"I remember Tree Skin Art is also close to level five?"
Thinking this, Qi Ping opened his attribute panel.
[Skill: Lv4 Tree Skin Art (779/800)]
"Only 21 experience points left."
"Then I'll focus on it these two days and try to get Tree Skin Art to level five as soon as possible, Awakening its first characteristic..."
Looking at the Tree Skin Art that was about to level up, Qi Ping was somewhat impatient to max it out.
The hardest part when playing a game is the final push, especially when it might Awaken a characteristic and immediately grant a combat power boost.
So, in the following time, apart from the time spent casting Plant Growth, Qi Ping's main energy was focused on improving Tree Skin Art.
Layers of armor-like tree skin continuously appeared and disappeared on Qi Ping's body...
Qi Ping also diligently comprehended the special energy and principle of Tree Skin Art during this process.
He was already incredibly familiar with this action; he would always cast and comprehend Tree Skin Art whenever he had free time.
It could be said that this skill was Qi Ping's most familiar one. No matter the situation, as long as he sensed even a slight abnormality, Qi Ping could instantly cast this Spell.
Under Qi Ping's full cultivation, in just a day and a half, the Tree Skin Art skill was leveled up to five by Qi Ping.
[Skill: Lv5 Tree Skin Art (0/1600)]
[Skill Characteristic Extracting... Please wait patiently...]
"Here it comes!"
Seeing this familiar scene, Qi Ping couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Skill characteristic extraction is one of the most unique features of this game.
Most skills, upon reaching level five, will automatically undergo a characteristic extraction.
Characteristic extraction is a gameplay mechanic that is both frustrating and appealing, because during this extraction, a characteristic will be randomly drawn from hundreds of characteristics and fused into the skill.
For example, Attack Amplification, Armor Penetration, Toughness, Flow, Bloodlust, Gale, Hardening... and so on, almost everything is included, with all types.
Therefore, after characteristic extraction, it might fuse into a divine skill, or it might not have much improvement.
The only consolation is that it will never become weaker.
So, characteristic extraction only has benefits, but the extent of those benefits depends on luck...
"Whether Tree Skin Art can soar depends on this time..."
Qi Ping stared intently at the extraction interface, secretly praying that he would definitely draw a good attribute, such as Hardening, Toughness... these, when combined with Tree Skin Art, would be very strong.
Under Qi Ping's anxious gaze, the characteristic extraction finally stopped on a characteristic...
[Characteristic Extraction Successful...]
[Congratulations, you have gained a new characteristic: Explosion...]
"Explosion?"
"Explosion!"
"What the heck!?"
The moment he saw the new characteristic, Qi Ping was somewhat confused. What use would Tree Skin Art have for this characteristic?
To self-destruct while wearing it and blow himself up?
He had waited so long, just for this?
However, just as Qi Ping was speechless, the new Fusion information that appeared next made Qi Ping's expression freeze, then his face was replaced by surprise.
[Tree Skin Art skill characteristic Fusion successful... Obtained Fusion characteristic: Explosion Impact]
"You can play it like this? Is this like a reflective armor?"
