Flame Burst Fireball!

At this moment, Qi Ping stood before a giant stone, manipulating the fire attribute power throughout his body to condense a Flame Burst Fireball in his palm, containing a terrifying oppressive force.

Immediately, under Qi Ping's control, this fireball shot toward the giant stone at an extremely fast speed.

With a deafening roar, the giant stone was instantly blasted into countless fragments and dust, appearing as fragile as tofu under the impact and explosion of the Flame Burst Fireball.

After casting the Flame Burst Fireball, Qi Ping did not stop, but instead moved forward at extreme speed.

During this process, Qi Ping controlled his spiritual power with his palm, instantly condensing a huge and extremely flexible Flame Burst Net in front of him, blocking his way ahead.

Under Qi Ping's control, the Flame Burst Net instantly enveloped the impact and debris rushing toward him, intercepting all the shock and fragments in front of Qi Ping amidst earth-shattering roars.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Feeling the power of the Flame Burst Fireball and Flame Burst Net, a satisfied smile appeared on Qi Ping's face.

The ultimate attack, using offense as defense, perfectly showcased the impact, explosion, and burn characteristics of the Flame Burst Magic.

"Although the principle of this magic is simple, it is the best way for me to exert my power to the fullest with my talent..."

"Even at the Foundation Establishment Stage, this set of magic can display powerful strength. In the future, with an enrichment of magical knowledge and a deeper understanding of fire attribute power, I might be able to perfect this set of magic further..."

Qi Ping knew well that as a Loose Cultivator, the source of his magic was limited and the difficulty in acquiring those Treasure Level spells was too high.

Simple yet powerful magic like the Flame Burst Magic was actually the most suitable for him.

Qi Ping's real advantage lay in leveraging the Druid class and Animal Companions to stack various passives, elevating his attributes to a level far above those of the same rank.

Therefore, magic that could release all his foundations and attributes together was very important.

It didn't need to be exquisite, as long as it could perfectly unleash all of Qi Ping's attributes, it would be enough to break through all sorts of sorcery!

Even if there were some shortcomings, they could be compensated with his Animal Companions.

This was the most suitable combat style for Qi Ping: having ultimate strength, speed, and defense was enough; it's the essential stuff without needing too many fancy tricks.

Like how there are many exquisite body techniques during the Qi Refining Stage, but how many of the same rank Qi Refining Cultivators can withstand the terrifying speed of Qi Ping's body technique enough to shatter the earth?

"In the future, my path in magic will follow this route temporarily. The most exquisite spells in the sect are too difficult to acquire. With that energy and Spirit Stones, I'd rather find a way to get good cultivation techniques and Spirit Beasts..."

With limited resources, foundational cultivation techniques and shared talent Spirit Beasts are far more important than magic.

Not to mention, even with more exquisite magic, it might not perfectly unleash the attribute power on Qi Ping like the Flame Burst Magic does.

"Now, in terms of spell cultivation, I should be considered to have gotten the basics. Although my methods are simple, at least I'm no longer that half-baked cultivator who didn't even know the Fireball Technique..."

With this Flame Burst in hand, who dares to say he's a cultivator who knows no magic?

...

After testing the Flame Burst Magic, Qi Ping was in a great mood.

With his current combat power, even without counting his Animal Companions, he could be considered a strong presence among the Qi Refining Stage.

Of course, what Qi Ping was happiest about was the escape ability brought by the Flame Burst Body Technique and the life-saving ability from combining the Flame Burst Net with the Tree Skin Technique.

No matter what, Qi Ping valued his life-saving ability the most, because survival is the prerequisite for everything...

"Remember, the Tree Skin Technique is almost at level five?"

Thinking this, Qi Ping opened the attribute panel.

[Skill: lv4 Tree Skin Technique (779/800)]

"Only 21 points of experience left."

"Then focus on it these two days and strive to get the Tree Skin Technique to level five as soon as possible to awaken its first trait..."

Seeing the Tree Skin Technique about to level up, Qi Ping was eager to max it out.

The hardest part of playing a game is the final step, especially with skills that might awaken traits and instantly boost combat power.

So in the following time, besides performing Plant Growth, Qi Ping focused mainly on improving the Tree Skin Technique.

Layer by layer of tree-like skin, resembling armor, continuously appeared and disappeared on Qi Ping's body...

Qi Ping also strived to comprehend the unique energy and principles of the Tree Skin Technique during this process.

He was incredibly familiar with this move. Whether free or engaged, he always practiced the Tree Skin Technique, sensing its essence.

This skill was Qi Ping's most familiar, able to instantly cast it upon sensing anything amiss.

With Qi Ping's full dedication to cultivation, in just a day and a half, the Tree Skin Technique was increased to level five.

[Skill: lv5 Tree Skin Technique (0/1600)]

[Skill Trait Extraction in Progress... Please be patient...]

"Here it comes!"

Seeing this familiar scene, Qi Ping couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

Skill trait extraction is one of this game's most unique features.

Most skills automatically undergo a trait extraction once they reach level five.

Trait extraction is an exciting yet daunting feature because during the extraction, a random trait is chosen from hundreds and merged into the skill.

For example, attack amplification, armor piercing, toughness, fluidity, bloodthirst, gale, hardening... you name it, all types are included.

Thus post-trait extraction, the skill could become a divine skill or not see much enhancement.

The only consolation is that there's no risk of the skill weakening.

So, while trait extraction only brings benefits, their magnitude relies heavily on luck...

"Whether the Tree Skin Technique can take off depends on this time..."

Qi Ping stared intently at the extraction interface, silently hoping to draw a good trait like hardening or toughness—both very strong when paired with the Tree Skin Technique.

Under Qi Ping's anxious gaze, the trait extraction finally stopped on a particular trait...

[Trait Extraction Successful...]

[Congratulations on Gaining New Trait: Explosion...]

"Explosion?"

"Explosion!"

"What the heck!?"

Seeing the new trait, Qi Ping was dumbfounded; what use did an explosive trait have for the Tree Skin Technique?

Was it to blow himself up while wearing it?

After anticipating so long, this is what he got?

However, as Qi Ping was left speechless, the newly appeared fusion information took him by surprise, replacing his look of perplexity with astonishment.

[Tree Skin Technique Skill Trait Fusion Successful... Acquired Fusion Trait: Explosive Shock]

"You can use it like this? Is this stacking Anti-Armor?"
