Outside the city.
The low-tier zone.
But this time—
Lin Feng did not stop at the outer edge.
He continued deeper.
The air in the forest grew heavier.
The presence of monsters became denser.
But he did not stop.
"That should be enough."
Lin Feng spoke softly.
The next second—
Buzz.
A fireball appeared.
The Fire Spirit followed.
"Finally decided to go deeper?"
Its tone carried slight impatience.
"Those things outside didn't even count as a warm-up."
Lin Feng didn't argue.
He simply looked ahead.
"This should be enough for you."
The fireball trembled slightly.
"Then let's begin."
Whoosh!
The fireball shot forward instantly!
No probing.
No hesitation.
The first monster barely appeared—
Boom!
It exploded instantly!
The flame didn't even pause.
It turned immediately!
Second.
Third.
Continuous kills!
The movement was incredibly smooth.
Like a true hunting trajectory.
Lin Feng stood still.
Watching everything.
Not moving.
Not needing to move.
"Too slow."
The Fire Spirit suddenly spoke.
"There aren't enough targets."
Lin Feng paused.
"You think it's slow?"
"Efficiency is too low."
The Fire Spirit replied coldly.
"I need to be faster."
The next second—
The fireball stopped.
Then—
It vibrated.
The flame began to compress.
Its size shrank.
Its color deepened.
Lin Feng's pupils tightened.
This—
Was different from yesterday.
More stable.
More condensed.
"Watch closely."
The Fire Spirit's voice lowered.
"Don't waste time."
The next instant—
The fireball burst forward!
Its speed skyrocketed!
Almost turning into a streak of fire!
Boom!
It pierced through one monster!
But this time—
It didn't stop.
It continued forward!
Second!
Third!
Everything along the line—
Was pierced through!
Continuous kills!
Lin Feng felt a shock.
This was no longer a normal fireball.
This was—
An evolved usage.
"Not bad."
The Fire Spirit sounded slightly dissatisfied.
"But not enough."
Lin Feng couldn't help but ask:
"Are you modifying the skill?"
"Not modifying."
The Fire Spirit replied coldly.
"Using it properly."
"What you did before was just waste."
Lin Feng: "…"
That's a bit harsh.
At that moment—
Movement came from afar.
Several monsters were attracted.
Charging from different directions!
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened.
"That's quite a lot."
The Fire Spirit laughed.
For the first time—
With clear excitement.
"Perfect."
The next second—
The fireball stopped midair.
Then—
Split into three!
Three streaks of fire shot out simultaneously!
Different angles!
Perfect targeting!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three monsters were hit at once!
But—
It didn't stop!
The fireballs turned again midair!
Continuing the pursuit!
The entire battlefield—
Was completely controlled!
Lin Feng stood still.
Not moving.
Yet—
It felt like he controlled everything.
At that moment—
He understood something.
—The Fire Spirit wasn't just fighting.
It was optimizing combat.
Even—
Improving efficiency.
"Still not enough."
The Fire Spirit's voice lowered.
"Faster."
The flames surged again!
The attack rhythm increased!
Faster!
Denser!
Lin Feng could barely keep up visually.
Then—
The Fire Spirit suddenly stopped.
All flames froze at once.
Then—
Slowly weakened.
Lin Feng's heart tightened.
"Consumption?"
"…A little."
The Fire Spirit's voice softened slightly.
But remained cold.
"Still manageable."
Lin Feng said nothing.
He looked ahead.
On the ground—
More than ten monsters had fallen.
And he—
Had not taken a single step.
A few seconds later—
The Fire Spirit spoke again.
"Continue."
Lin Feng paused.
"You're tired, aren't you?"
"Not enough."
The Fire Spirit replied calmly.
But there was a stubborn edge.
"I need to be faster."
Lin Feng fell silent.
At that moment—
He realized something.
This wasn't just combat.
This was—
Training.
And—
Training that never stopped.
